Qualifications for “chemistry”

Chemistry is no mystery. Once the student understands the logic behind the math, all the operations to balance an equation or calculate stoichiometry become reasonable and require no memorization. The same goes for many other topics of Chemistry. This subject can be so much fun. If you are struggling, let me show you how you don't have to.

"You can teach a student a lesson for a day; but if you can teach him to learn by creating curiosity, he will continue the learning process as long as he lives." ~Clay P. Bedford

I earned a Ph.D. doing Genetics research at the University of Utah. Knowledge is always fascinating to me: a concept is not just a concept, it has an infinite number of aspects to be understood and appreciated. Any simple idea, be it Math, Physics, Biology or Chinese, is interconnected with all other ideas through humanity and history. At the deepest level, all knowledge is connected, and the network gives us a glimpse of the Truth.

In addition to my degree, I have a teaching licence for the State of Utah for Integrated Sciences and Biology. I have taught middle school science and AP Biology in classroom settings. When I tutor, however, the goal is to help my students become independent quickly. I love to burn my bridges by giving you a pair of wings as soon as possible; because there is no telling how high and how far you can go.

I have worked with students ranging from kindergarteners to college graduates preparing for GRE. If you think I can help you, drop me a line.

Thank you for reading! And Happy learning!

I have been an active member for Toastmasters International for a long time. I have completed the basic manual and earned both Competent Communicator and Competent Leader certificates. In club meetings, I frequently evaluate other member's speeches and developed good listening skills and recommendation styles. In addition, I am a very logical thinker, I look for logic flow in developing ideas. This helps me compose rhetorical arguments. On the other hand, my observation of successful speeches over time cultivates my intuition on how a speaker can take advantage of his/her strength to develop rapport with the audience.

I am a Chinese from mainland China, left the country in my 20s. I am very good at reading, writing and conversational Chinese. These skills are hard to lose. Also I am teaching my son and husband Chinese at home. Being able to explain and make sense those Chinese characters and expressions helps me to teach. The most effective way of teaching is when the material makes sense. I am great with children and they like me a lot. This helps in a tutoring situation as well.

Most people are visual thinkers. My approach to Algebra is very visual. I use size, shape, and symmetry to represent math equations and problems. Once the problem is fully understood, the answer becomes straightforward. The logic behind math is simple and mathematics language is beautiful.

ACT Science tests only very limited scientific knowledge. Once those are in place, the test is essentially reading skill test. Students need to be able to find information in tables, graphs, and paragraphs first. After that, students are required to analyze the logic behind the phenomena. The more difficult questions are inferring from the knowledge and make predictions. Correct thought processes can cut down time and improve accuracy for all of those problems. It is important to learn and practice them ahead of the test date.

Genetics,

Genetics

I earned a Ph.D. doing Genetics research at the U. Genetics is a test on how well a student can reason based on a set of criteria. It usually starts with very simple rules, with the advancement of learning, more complex rules are introduced. The simple rules are the key to Genetics, the complex rules can be explained as variations of the simple ones. In a nutshell, Genetics is very elegant. I love the subject and know it better than the back of my hands. Let me show you how everything fits perfectly in Genetics as a completed Sudoku puzzle.
Physical Science,

Physical Science

Classical Physics is pure logic. Once the problem is properly dissected into constants and variables, the answer usually is quite straightforward. Yet the skill to dissect a problem seems elusive. I teach classical Physics by doing thought experiments, sometimes real ones when they are not too explosive. Bringing everyday phenomena into lessons help students to make connections and understand better. Naturally, better understanding translates into better problem solving techniques.
Physiology,

Physiology

Human body is a fascinating 'machine'. The principles of Physics and Chemistry rule the machine yet the internal regulation does wonders the ordinary machines can't even dream of, even if they could dream. The key to mastering this complex system is to figure out what is the major force at any certain situation. I can help you simplify the system so that it makes sense. I had an offer to teach Human Physiology to Pre Nursing students at Westminster college. Eventually I had to turn it down because of personal reasons. It would be fun to be able to really teach it.

Outstanding!!

Heng distinguished herself as a truly first rate teacher. Her academic credentials are outstanding. What is more important is her caring and nurturing style where she seeks out the children's strengths to create a dynamic learning environment. That is the mark of a true teacher. Our three children are native born Chinese and Heng was able to work with each in unique ways to engage them. She followed up with us on supplemental learning modules. She truly cares and creates the connection among students and parents to support the learning environment. Heng is excellent and we enthusiastically endorse her. She is a real talent. Updated: You will be hard pressed to find a more caring and dedicated teacher than Dr. Heng. We just adopted a little Chinese girl and Dr. Heng came over to our house to make sure we had all the tools to keep her engaged in her native language skills. Dr. Heng is pretty amazing!!!

awesome teacher !

I highly recommend Heng. She is an awesome teacher . My daughter loves her and the way she has helped her in organizing school homework . Thank you so much Heng!

Knowledgeable and helpful

Heng tutored my daughter AP biology a few years ago, now she is helping my son with his AP Chemistry. She is smart and knowledgeable, not just answered questions, but also teaches how to study with mental image of the system. Both of my kids like her!

Great teacher! Better advice than most teachers out there!

Helped a lot with algebra Very simple process Was able to make things simpler Very wise and patient teacher Awesome to work with overall!

Jakob, 2 lessons with Heng

Fun, nice, cool person who makes me excited about math

She was super energetic and for the first time I’m excited about math. We are covering the ICGS Oxford series and it is a big ask, but I think she is going to be great.

G, 3 lessons with Heng

Knowledgeable and helpful

Heng is a very good tutor who is knowledgeable about biology and no waste time on unnecessary words. She tutored both of my kids, AP biology and HS biology, both gave 5 stars to Heng. We highly recommend Heng to any students who need help with their science studies.

Excellent Tutor

I have now had several genetic tutoring sessions with Heng and look forward to more. She is smart, caring and extremely helpful. I would highly recommend her for any tutoring needs.

Makes hard things seem easier!

Heng helped me to understand the material based on the way I learn. I am only sad I didn't find her sooner. Excited to continue learning from her to successfully complete my business stats class.

Kennedy, 5 lessons with Heng

Most helpful tutor I've had

I met with Heng to get help with my statistics and probability course. She presented the information in easy to understand manner and presented new ways of contextualizing the concepts. Heng was also very patient with me and willing to go over fundamental principles that I did not have a firm grasp on.

Amazing Teacher

Heng X was very patient with me and helped me when I was struggling or didn’t know how to do something. Was very kind about it and didn’t make me feel stupid that I didn’t know something. I am very happy that I get to work with her! She is amazing and very kind hearted!
