Primarily, I will provide you with specific methods to help you to determine what the questions are asking and how to systematically solve those problems. I will teach you how to use dimensional analysis to systemically derive the answers to difficult chemistry word problems. Overall, I will provide encouragement and a positive learning environment to maximize student learning of the concepts.

Microsoft Outlook

Microsoft Outlook

Students who I tutor can learn how to use the Microsoft Outlook program from me so that they can easily communicate with others. I am proficient in using Microsoft Outlook and can easily show students the benefits to this program. Students will learn how to attach documents to the email, how to use the voting buttons, and how to use the daily calendar to help them keep track of various events. Students will also learn how to use the reminder features for events that are upcoming as well as other features that come with the program. I am able to show students how to work with this program since I am use it on a daily basis.
Spelling

Spelling

Students whom I tutor will benefit from my knowledge of proper usage of spelling when writing essays and term papers. Students can give me their papers to proofread, and I will be able to easily provide them with a review of their papers in order to help them edit their work. I am constantly reviewing students' paperwork, including but not limited to laboratory reports, research papers, and other FRQ responses to AP Chem tests. Students know that I will always look for proper spelling and grammer in their submitted papers. I have 26 years of teaching experience and countless years of reviewing and reading of research papers from students in my classes. I am extremely familiar with spelling rules and proper use of grammer rules when writing and editing papers. I can teach students in an efficient and timely manner how to use the proper rules for spelling to help them with their written work.
Study Skills

Study Skills

I am constantly implementing a variety of study skills in my daily classroom lessons. I teach students how to read through questions on a test to obtain the meaning before they choose an answer. I show students the value of making and learning flash cards to help them learn polyatomic ions. Additionally, I encourage small group and teamwork in the classroom to help students learn from one another.

Comprehensive and patient

Mrs Concettina was patient with my son and giving him a comprehensive review of what He learned from the school and beyond. My son really enjoyed the sessions and feels his understanding of the chemistry subject is improved, and more importantly, his confidence is being built up. Thanks.

A knowledgable and effective teacher

I've known Mrs. S for the past two years now. Both of my children have been tutored by her and every lesson that she has provided has made them closer to be successful and confidant learners in Chemistry. I highly recommend Mrs. S. In fact my boys keep telling me that they wish they had her as their regular classroom teacher.

Wonderful Tutor! Exceptional teaching skills!

Connie has been an absolute blessing for our daughter! Connie is organized, thoughtful, patient and helpful. The step-by-step, one-on-one instruction was so helpful for our daughter, and it gave her the confidence to excel in Chemistry. I wish Connie was a tutor for all subjects, as we would sign up for every session available! Thank you Connie for your time and care this last term -- our daughter is thrilled with her grade and appreciates all you did to help her learn the material. Thank you!

Tutor responded:

Dear Wendy, It has been an absolute pleasure helping your daughter with Chemistry. She is a fantastic student and easily grasps the difficult concepts. I wish her well on her Chem final. I know that she will excel on it and all her other classes. Happy Holidays!

Fantastic Tutor! I highly recommend her!

I found Connie through this website. Connie is a Chemistry/Physics teacher. It has been such a blessing to find Connie. Connie teaches using the same book, as do all the schools in the district. Her familiarity with the material, her outstanding knowledge of chemistry, and her ease of explaining difficult concepts make her a fantastic tutor. I highly recommend her with no reservations!
