I need a chemist teacher or trainer
I need someone whose close by arcadia Florida 34266 to train me to be a chemist. I pay you for your time it takes to train. I basically got the
lecture I just need some hands on experiments. U most have your own equipment.

The Risks and Time involved are likely to deter any individual from 'training' anyone else physically.
Mostly people have work, school or family commitments, and no insurance policy could properly cover the possible losses involved with teaching solo.
Distance Learning can be done for free by reading this forum and others.
If you are seriously interested in Chemistry you will already have your own Lab of some kind, same as the members here who actively pursue the hobby.

It would also depend on what sort of chemist you want to be. Organic? Inorganic? Pharmaceuticals perhaps? On this forum, as in most other places, the
more specific you are in your questions the more likely you will be to get a good response.

I actually wouldn't mind teaching someone hands on chemistry, especially not if I was paid to do so! (assuming that the student is not interested in
making drugs or explosives...). I'd only be qualified to teach the basics being as I'm still learning a lot myself, but I think I've accumulated
enough tips and tricks to share that would make me valuable to a complete beginner.
@smartgene1: Regardless, you need to invest in some old lab manuals and spend more time reading threads on the forum, watching YouTube videos, and
actually trying some simple experiments. Also I'm highly skeptical of "I basically got the lecture." What lecture? What chemistry classes have you
taken? If you haven't taken anything past high school chemistry, you should certainly get yourself second hand college level general chemistry and
organic chemistry books and read those if you want to be up to a good level on theory. It will make reaction planning much easier and help you
understand why things go wrong when they inevitably do, so trust me, it will make your life a lot easier.

Sounds like Fun, but just ask a professional Teacher how it works out.
Teaching is a Skill and an Art, much like any other specialisation, such as Chemistry.
Knowing even a lot of Chemistry, as you do, does Not qualify someone to be a Teacher.

Soon I'm going to be helping my girlfriend's brother learn chemistry, since he's being homeschooled. My area has a very good home school curriculum
and support network, so the plan is to look over his science lesson plan and design experiments to supplement whatever he's learning. So I guess I'll
be doing a little teaching, but mostly passing along excitement and wonder  I'm
a firm believer that you cannot get a good appreciation of chemistry without practical experience. Really science in general, actually.

aga: A true statement, but I'm not talking out of my ass here. In high school, I tutored AP chemistry students and feel like I did a pretty good job
of it. They kept coming back and paying me, anyway. I also helped my classmates in organic chemistry last semester get through the class because our
professor was very fast-paced and many of them couldn't keep up with him. Though I haven't taught anyone in the lab before, I think it would probably
go over pretty well, being as I feel more at home in the lab than in the classroom.
smartgene: That's basically everything. You need to be a lot more specific and tell us what it is that you already know. "Organic and inorganic" gives
us absolutely nothing to go on.

No need to. Now I work in a university research lab, so I get paid to do organic syntheses. I much prefer that to explaining theory to students who
are just trying to get by.

Edit:
Just in case he doesn't pick me, anyone need 3,440kg of analytical grade Iodine ?
Good price
Local pickup Free

Brandon?!
Rapopart’s Rules for critical commentary:
1. Attempt to re-express your target’s position so clearly, vividly and fairly that your target says: “Thanks, I wish I’d thought of putting it
that way.”
2. List any points of agreement (especially if they are not matters of general or widespread agreement).
3. Mention anything you have learned from your target.
4. Only then are you permitted to say so much as a word of rebuttal or criticism.
Anatol Rapoport was a Russian-born American mathematical psychologist (1911-2007).

You could come to my college and sign up for a course. I'll teach you.
Please remember: "Filtrate" is not a verb.
Write up your lab reports the way your instructor wants them, not the way your ex-instructor wants them.

Sorry. zts16 has not promised to make me the winner, so i'm very busy with organising the theft of all of the Iodine in Texas right now.
Stealing tonnes of Iodine takes such a lot of effort.
Even the freelance thieves are demanding that the site be smoke-free as that will be their workplace.
Irony is that they all smoke !

I have a brother in Savannah who tutors chemistry. But there are chemistry tutors in every town.
I'd try posting an ad on the bulletin board (physical bulletin board) at the nearest college library.
