Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 6
A friendly and supportive environment will be provided to learners who are struggling with high school chemistry.  This tutoring session will help with those struggling to learn chemistry as there is so much to learn in this field.  This teacher will come prepared to teach various aspects of chemistry as per what a learner needs to learn at different times during a high school chemistry course.  Homework will be provided to supplement different concepts if the teacher deems that a little more work on a topic would be helpful.  This teacher will work with the learner and go at the pace the learner needs to master various chemistry topics.

Here is a sampling of what the tutoring could be like - or the tutoring will be simply tailored to each learner's needs:
Week of March 3rd - Naming of chemical compounds, including various ion groupings
Week of March 10th - Stoichiometry - balancing of chemical equations, solubility product, reactants and products
Week of March 17th - Types of reactions - addition, substitution, and replacement
Week of March 24th - Reduction/Oxidation reactions (Redox) -anodes, cathodes, half reactions
Week of March 31st - Acids and Bases - pH, pOH, titrations

The pace and topics will be determined by the learner and the teacher together.  The listing of topics are simply an example to fit the idea on ongoing classes.
Learning Goals
Learners will have a better understanding of chemistry and will  be assisted with homework problems.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Science from University of Waterloo
Hi, I'm Trudy Field.  I have a Bachelor of Environmental Chemistry degree from the University of Waterloo.  I love to make teaching fun.  Students learn best when learning is fun. I like to make the class interactive and entertaining.

I have always loved to teach and coach people.  I love those a-ha moments when someone learns something new and experiences the happiness in knowing a skill has been mastered.

I like to tutor chemistry, physics, biology, and math courses at a junior high and high school level.  I like to teach fun parts about these subjects and the fundamentals that would help a student understand parts of high school courses.  I have tutored many high school students.

Coaching figure skating has been a passion of mine for over twenty years.  I like to figure out how people learn and to interact with different personalities.  

I believe students learn best when taught in a fun way.  I like to allow a bit of autonomy in a class.  While coaching skating, I offer choices of what we'll learn next - like spins or jumps.  We'll inevitably cover both during that session or by the next session.  I like to try to be fun in class and  will allow a little bit of fun after setting guidelines to ensure learning is still the priority.

A fun project I did this winter was build a backyard skating rink!  I did it through stomping the snow and then flooding the backyard with water.  My son and I rigged up a simple flooding machine too!
