Bio

Right after graduating from college with a degree in Junior High Science teaching, I taught high school science for ten years; which included the following subject areas: Physical Science, General Science, Earth Science, Environmental Science, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Human Anatomy and Physiology. I enjoyed lesson preparation and providing hands-on activities to help students remember topics. I then pursued a Science career, which provided me opportunities to perform training,...

Right after graduating from college with a degree in Junior High Science teaching, I taught high school science for ten years; which included the following subject areas: Physical Science, General Science, Earth Science, Environmental Science, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Human Anatomy and Physiology. I enjoyed lesson preparation and providing hands-on activities to help students remember topics. I then pursued a Science career, which provided me opportunities to perform training, create standard operating procedures, and experience new learning opportunities for myself. As I still had a passion for teaching, when I saw an opportunity to tutor at MCC, I gladly applied and was accepted. I became a CRLA certified tutor with positive evaluations. This opened up an opportunity to become an adjunct teacher at MCC in the subject of science.

Approved Subjects

Chemistry

Chemistry

I taught high school chemistry for nine years using demonstrations and lab work to help clarify the concepts. I tutored several students in various college chemistry courses, and I received a certificate of appreciation for my efforts in tutoring.
Elementary Science

Elementary Science

I was teacher for several years and I taught what is age appropriate material. I also recognize that students in the elementary level need more hands-on activities to help make the concepts concrete.
Physical Science

Physical Science

I have taught this course over the years of teaching and have tutored in its main subjects(Physics and Chemistry). This subject is one of my favorite because it highlights the more interesting aspects of science.
Physics

Physics

Physics is one of my favorite subjects, and one that I taught at the high school level for 9 years. I am able to bring it down to basic steps since this is what I did in my Physical Science courses. I used hands-on labs and performed many demonstrations to help students understand the concepts.

Excellent Tutor for Chemistry

I have nothing but positive things to say about Jeff as a tutor and as a person. He was cooperative with scheduling and was always on time. He was always prepared for the lesson and questions that I had each and every session. He is personable, easy to understand, and has a lot of knowledge in the Chemistry field. I would definitely recommend him to any student in need of a tutor. I know that if I need help again that he will be the first person I ask upon. 5 stars!

Excellent tutor

My daughter received help with her chemistry class. Jeff was very responsive with scheduling requests and was able to explain concepts and problems in a way that my daughter could understand. She felt she learned a lot through their tutoring sessions. She liked his tutoring style.

Knowledgeable and Patient Tutor

Jeff is great at breaking down the individual parts of the lessons being addressed. He uses the white board to provide visual aids to his explanations, which is very helpful to my learning style. The only issue I had was technical related. The internet connection on the video feed wasn’t consistently strong, so I missed some things said here and there. If that hadn’t been the case, it would have been a 5 star review. Basically, 5 stars for Jeff and 4 stars for the technology used for the session.

Knowledgeable and Kind Tutor

Jeff went over and reviewed momentum and force with me. He helped me solve some problems I had, and even gave me a practice problem to solve.

Awesome Chemistry tutor

Jeff is an amazing tutor. He really takes the time to explain all the concepts so you understand them. I feel confident when I’m done with my session that I understand the material. I look forward to seeing my grade go up.

Great teacher, goes above & beyond to help!

We really love Jeff & appreciate his love for teaching, he is kind & patient. Jeff is thorough & makes sure the student understands what is being taught before moving on to the next concept/problem. Highly recommended!

Very Helpful

Jeff helped our son with some difficult mathematical concepts in his Chemistry II college course. In our son’s words, Jeff explains things more visually which really helps with comprehension. We will definitely hire him again!

Great teacher

My son understood everything Jeff explained! Thanks. He did much better on his chemistry test and is trying to catch up. Jeff provided good resources.

Awesome tutor!

I was struggling with College Chemistry and after my first lesson with Jeff, I left feeling a lot better about the subject. He made it easy for me to understand. I will be continuing my tutor sessions with Jeff.
