About Steven
I have over 30 years of experience teaching science in secondary schools in both Canada and the United States.
In 2017 I retired from an 18-year teaching job at a high school In Washington State. My course assignments included General Chemistry, IB Biology, General Biology, Science and even French. Since my retirement, I have been substitute teaching at several local high schools. I have taken some long-term sub positions that include AP Chemistry, Biology and French. In addition, I have had other interesting short-term sub positions. It is fun to come into a school and teach Music, Social Studies or Spanish for a day or two.
I have university and community college teaching experience in Canada and the United States. I taught such courses such as Biology, Cellular Biology, Plant Physiology, Biochemistry and Industrial Microbiology (Beer, Wine and Cheese Making!). That was a fun course...we made beer in a lab! The drinking age in Canada was 18 so the students could sample their results. I also taught a Retail Marketing course at a local community college.

The following information comes from my website: drv4chemistry.com. You can go to this site for more information about my tutoring.
The ideal relationship for tutoring is a one-on-one meeting. Sadly, in the time of COVID-19 this concept has been compromised. However, using the power of the internet, we can get back to face-time with computer hardware, software and the internet. I have set up an on-line platform that allows for direct instruction, practice and feedback to students. Chemistry, in particular, can have challenging math concepts. Problem solving practice with immediate feedback helps students gain the most confidence with these math concepts and required methods.
Written work will be an important part of the on-line review sessions.
Recently, I found an interesting article on the BBC News Worklife webpage, "The benefits of note-taking by hand", that discusses the cognitive benefits of note-taking.
In particular, the article points out that "...taking notes by hand involves cognitive engagement in summarising, paraphrasing, organising, concept and vocabulary mapping — in short, manipulating and transforming information that leads to deeper understanding." While some may think that using a laptop or tablet might be faster or more efficient, "...keyboarding does not provide the tactile feedback to the brain that contact between pencil or pen and paper does — the key to creating the neurocircuitry in the hand-brain complex."
This article reinforces a viewpoint that I have held throughout my teaching career: writing something down is the best way to be engaged in the learning activity. If the only interaction that the student has with the information is sitting and listening...neither confidence nor performance will be enhanced. My on-line sessions will involve taking written notes, copying an example from the whiteboard, solving a problem in writing and receiving feedback which are all powerful learning tools, especially in Chemistry.
