Biology Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Alamogordo, NM

Hi everyone! My name is Danielle Miyagishima and I've been tutoring math and science for pay for the last 2 years. I have done private tutoring for high school and college students. I have also been employed by NMSU's tutoring center. I have also served as a "BioCat" which is a biology catalyst. A biology catalyst is a type of teaching assistant that works with NMSU's biology department. I led my own class where I was in charge of helping students get through a series of worksheet related to biology lecture. I have many professors, and personal recommendations upon request!

I have been a private tutor for the past two years. In that time I helped a student who had dropped out of high school learn all of the necessary skills required to excel at the new GED test. He achieved honors on the Math and Science portions and scored very well on the Reasoning through the Language Arts and Social Studies sections. In October I helped him study for his ACT. He scored a 23 on the ACT and with his GED-High School Equivalent GPA of 4.0 he was accepted to New Mexico State University and plans to obtain a Masters in International Relations. I adapt my style to whatever suits the student the best. I will work hard to help the student relate to the material in a personal way, so that it is meaningful to them rather than simple memorization. My goal is to help the person become an independent and critical thinker; skills that are not generally taught, but are crucial fo

My ultimate goal as a microbiologist is to become an academic scientist. I would like to convey the knowledge that I have acquired so far to future scientist and by doing this helping them reach their goals. During my time at New Mexico State University I was a teaching assistant for two years. My duties included teaching freshman, sophomores and juniors and also preparing and grading questionaries. My students described me as enthusiastic and energetic. My work as a master’s student in New Mexico State University involved investigating the epidemiology of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) in a unique geographical region, El Paso Del Norte region and my research as a doctoral student then focused on the fusidic acid-resistance mechanisms of S. aureus. During this time I have been able to acquire expertise in diverse areas of science. Furthermore, I have also published my findi

For the time that I spent teaching, my experience included working in a newly established school in Saipan where I was involved with a class that had different age levels, such as third, fourth, seventh and eighth. This allowed me the opportunity to learn to work with various age levels as well as different nationalities. Also, I spent time working for the Las Cruces Public School System in which I was able to labor with teachers who had students with learning disabilities, plus regular elementary age kids. This occasion allowed me to appreciate the hard work the teachers put into the students and understand how hard it can be, yet to persevere no matter what may happen, since any little improvement is an encouragement to them. Plus, the time that I spent tutoring, mainly elementary age groups, gave me the ability to understand the importance of working with people who are struggling and

A graduate from Centenary College of La with a BS degree in Geology and a former petroleum geologist indicates I am not immune to working hard. My experience includes working 19 years using engineering and geological knowledge to explore oil and gas reservoirs. My full time teaching started in 1996 and I retired June 2009 with 14 years experience. I have taught various high school sciences including Environmental Science, Biology, Astronomy, Meteorology, Integrated Physics and Chemistry, Physics and Chemistry. Most of my experience is with the Physical Sciences. I tutored students who were using the Plato computer program in our after school program. During one summer school session, I taught Algebra 1 to 30 students Teaching is a very rewarding experience. I especially like to see when my students progress to a higher level. I believe all children can learn but they often have diffe

I work with a hands-on approach. There is a lot of logical thinking and step-by-step processing in math and science. So, the student and I work together through each problem until they understand the process. I used to work at several private schools in Jordan. Many of the schools were applying American teaching styles to their system. I am capable of tutoring all levels of mathematics, physics, and many computer subjects.

I got my first teaching experience as a lab instructor for undergraduate physics labs and fell in love with the profession. The best part of the experience is seeing the student grasp a concept that they felt out of reach. I enjoy coming up with inventive ways of communicating the difficult portions of math and science. Most of my students benefited from my teaching style which includes many examples and encourages a dialogue approach to difficult concepts. As a non-traditional student I recognize the necessity to create a level of confidence that inspires a student to continue their education with success. I feel that perspectives on learning and my life-experience make me an ideal contact for any student interested in mastering the topics of math, physics, chemistry, or Spanish. I am experienced in the grading and writing of lab reports and other technical forms of communication.
