Qualifications for “chemistry”


I studied Chemistry and earned a Bachelor's degree and a PhD to do research., and I enjoyed doing so in industry. I invented new specialty plastics that are used for many devices today. In addition, teaching has always been part of my spirit, and I am delighted to help others understand chemistry and learn problem-solving skills. I earned the certification to teach sciences and have been an educator for more than ten years. I have successfully tutored many high school and college students taking courses and preparing for exams.

Bio

As an experienced professional educator I help high school, college students and adults learn (chemistry, physical science, and algebra), improve their analytical skills, and develop problem solving skills. With my help my students are more confident, earn better grades, and increase their learning pace. I have been teaching chemistry and physical science for more than six years in Connecticut for students of all abilities, and I am CollegeBoard certified in AP chemistry.

All of my students made significant progress in their learning and confidence, and their grades have improved. Although many tutors have passed a chemistry/science class, few know how to teach others. With years of experience as a professional educator I can teach, reinforce, correct misunderstandings and provide practice for mastery of chemistry/science concepts.

Prior to my teaching experience I worked for an international corporation, inventing and developing new materials with a team. My experience ranged from the laboratory invention through development to commercialization and patenting new products. Most students commonly hold something I invented.

Algebra 1

I have tutored many students in algebra to strengthen their problem-solving skills before tutoring them in chemistry. In many subjects,students with weak math skills will not be as successful as those with solid algebra, geometry, trigonometry skills. It is a natural fit to help students improve their algebra skills and then apply those skills to chemistry concepts. I can explain principles, show examples, and provide and review practice problems.

Prealgebra

Prealgebra

In teaching chemistry, I have needed to help students develop their math skills to apply prealgebra to the chemistry problems. Learning both at the same time is extremely difficult, so I prefer they have a very solid foundation in the math before teaching the science. I review or teach math skills to nearly all of my students, whether they are in a math class or a science class. For younger students, I use some objects (often legos) and models to provide a visual and something they can manipulate while learning the concepts.

Knowledgeable and patient chemistry tutor

Cherylyn has is an outstanding Chemistry tutor! She is knowledgeable, enthusiastic, organized, dynamic, and extremely patient. My daughter was overwhelmed and frustrated with chemistry and didn’t think she could do well. From the very first session with Cherylyn my daughter instantly felt at ease and began to feel more confident with the math and how to apply it to the content being taught. Cherylyn approaches the subject matter with enthusiasm and makes sure my daughter can relate to it by providing real life example that she can relate to. We are thrilled to have found Cherylyn.

Excellent and kind tutor! My grade has drastically increased since working with her!

Ms. Cherylyn is so kind and so helpful! She explains material in a way that is clear and easy to understand. She's friendly and offers great tools to help better understand material. I can't say enough good things about her!

Organic I

Our tutor reviewed 2 chapters of Organic I Chemistry & addressed my questions, and worked hard for the 2 hrs. I had her for yesterday & felt that this was very much help.

Charlie , 2 lessons with Cherylyn

Cherylyn was a decent tutor - for very basic questions only

She answered some basic questions, but she talked over me and did not understand some of my questions. She was not intuitively able to navigate the content I was showing her. If you're interested in ONLY very basic college chemistry, Cherylyn is a good option. If you're interested in physical chemistry or anything advanced, I would not recommend Cherylyn.

Stacey, 1 lesson with Cherylyn
Tutor responded:

This student, in the job posting, misrepresented her expectation for a general chemistry tutoring session. She was quite immature and did not listen to the information I provided, She erratically scrolled through an unidentified book and asked for in-depth discussion of random figures without allowing time to scan the caption/text to gather the purpose of the figure. She refused to accept that her questions were far, far from the scope of a general chemistry course and that some of her questions were nonsensical. I suggested she collect her thoughts to clearly express her intent and expectation and contact a professor, assistant, or student doing physical chemistry research or particle physics to discuss contemporary theories. Her general chemistry professor had previously advised the same.

Cherylyn is a keeper

Cherylyn has been wonderfully helpful and patient tutoring me in organic chemistry. Her guidance is honest. She will not let you understand something improperly for the sake of getting a multiple choice question correct. Instead, I feel my knowledge of foundational organic chemistry is being strengthened where I need it most. Thanks, Cherylyn.

Helpful in simplifying and explaining difficult concepts

I'm taking college level Gen Chem 2 and was in desperate need of help as I prepared for my first exam. Cherylyn was extremely helpful in breaking down a problem to help me understand it as well as clarifying confusion I had regarding concepts. Most of what we discussed involved kinetics.

Great Tutor

Cherylyn is such a good tutor and is good at explaining things and always ask if you understand something before moving on.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Cheryl is an excellent tutor. She helped my son understand the chemistry concepts that he was not confident in. He was failing chem and Cheryl's ease at conveying the concepts helped him bring his grade up to a B. I would highly recommend Cheryl. She is an amazing tutor. Patty P.
