Marine Biology is one of my top subjects! I have a Master's Degree in Marine Biology and have conducted independent research projects in this field.

I prefer a relaxed atmosphere of one-on-one teaching with a hands-on approach. I feel that part of the problem, for so many students, is that they are not comfortable approaching their teachers and asking questions. I want to create an atmosphere where there is no hesitancy to ask any question. The student's progress will determine the pace.
I successfully completed a B.S. in Marine Biology from the College of Charleston in 2004. During my undergraduate career I was able to participate in a research cruise at sea and conduct independent research. I later worked for the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, Marine Resources Division, conducting research in a variety of fields including mariculture and stock enhancement. In 2006 I began the graduate program in Marine Biology at the College of Charleston. While there, I taught two semesters of Molecular Biology Lab as ... read more

Learning as an Individual, Believing in Your Value

Discovery with emphasis on individual learning style - for instance tactical or visual instead of instructional - also have worked with kids who have emotional issues or self image issues that hold them back from learning - interested in working with kids who are in need of a someone who sees them as an individual
Have worked with elementary age children and have tutored/mentored in the workplace. With many years of work experience with employees of varying skill levels, I understand what it takes to be a valued contributor and understand that students learn in very different ways. Creating a relationship with information that is meaningful to the student is the best way to help them learn a concept or process. Most learning focuses on information assimilation while I focus on applying the concept or process to a real work situation that has meaning to the student.

Being a student at UNC Chapel Hill has challenged and inspired me to think creatively and achieve excellence in all areas of academia. As a senior at Carolina I will graduate in the spring of 2012 with a BS in Biology and a minor in Chemistry—providing a thorough understanding of science. I have grammatical expertise and writing skills due to extensive research and refutation papers, and laboratory reports and essays throughout my undergraduate education. In the last several years I have tutored elementary reading and writing at the 1st-3rd grade levels working with underprivileged children. I have tutored general chemistry during my senior year in high school to honors students, and continue to tutor college students in chemistry today.
I enjoy working with children of all age ranges, and it is my personal goal to make learning a difficult subject less of a chore. I believe that h ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have always enjoyed informing others about subjects I am passionate about. Science has always been my greatest strength in school and favorite area to research on my own. While in college I was an education intern during the summer of 2004 at the North Carolina Aquarium on Roanoke Island, where I ran educational programs and helped inform the public on certain topics. After receiving my BS in Biological Sciences, I returned to school a semester later because I realized I wanted to use my education to become a high school science teacher. After student teaching in Wake County I later taught three sections of Biology at another school. I hold a valid North Carolina Teaching License for all science subjects for grades 9-12. I have also passed the Praxis II for my subject area.
I am a young teacher, but passionate about the subjects I teach to my students. I am still developing ... read more

As a tutor my initial focus is identifying the students strengths and applying them when addressing areas where the student has a deficit. It is important to motivate the student in order to give confidence in their ability to face academic challenges. The key is to establish or enhance the foundation of student learning by developing a positive relationship with developing dependency. It is also important that the student develops transferrable skills regarding problem solving when addressing current assignments so that despite the situation, he/she possesses the meta-cognitive skills to adapt and succeed.
My experience began as a tutor in college and upon graduating I taught eighth grade science, high school sciences (biology, physical and earth), community college level biology (I and II) and biotechnology. I have a MS in Biology (research/thesis and study focus in biochemis ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

In my three years in education, I have discovered that I was made to be a teacher. I have a bachelor's degree in biology and I am currently working on my master's degree. I am extremely involved in school activities and academic competitions. Science is my passion, but I also have an extensive math background. I began tutoring students in college and I have continued doing so as a teacher. I spent the past year tutoring in Durham's encore program in preparation for MATH and Reading EOG test.
I have a passion for working with children and helping them succeed. I taught math for two years and had the highest EOG scores in the school. I am a very fun, easy going, and creative person. I find ways to relate the material to the child's interest to make sure they are engaged at all times. I beleive if you can get a child's attention and make the work fun and interesting, they wil ... read more

I believe that information accessibility should be emphasized and placed in bold. I would consider my style personable, compassionate, and driven to excel. I like to bring humor and discussion into the arena. If it's just me talking, how does it benefit the student if they do not feel they have the ability to rebut or 'think out loud?' New ideas and processes of interpretation are enabled in both the student and the teacher through a live and ever-changing dialogue. I realize that in the 'classroom proper' not everyone will have the 'eureka' experience. That is why the teacher must enable the students to make the connections themselves through collaboration, small projects, various 'out-of-the-classroom events/activities, and self-motivated inquiries. Once the information has been perceived by the student as important, he/she will want more to do with it. The information age has brought ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching to me is about relating the information to the students in a way they can understand. It is very important to make the material relevant to their lives somehow. Therefore it is important to get to know your students and their hobbies and interests. Another key thing needed to teach is patience. You cannot expect them to race through anything. Everyone has their own pace. It is also important to make the information interesting and entertaining to some extent, Especially for younger students. Sometimes an educational game is just as good at getting the information across but at the same time engages the students and keeps them interested.

I believe my role as a teacher is to establish an environment that promotes the development of students to the maximum extent limited only by their talents and desires. A challenging aspect of this role is helping students identify their talents and encourage their desire for learning. Toward this end, I believe it is necessary to develop a relationship with each student which will allow me to serve in multiple roles: facilitator, adviser, task master, teacher, role model, and friend.

A Little Bit About Me...

I recognize the great responsibility of teachers to learners. I feel strongly that every child is important and I love to show my students how special they are. I bring a lot of energy and enthusiasm to my lessons. I have found that I can show children, through example, that learning can be fun and exciting and not as scary as they might sometimes feel. I am very patient and kind and have a genuine desire to see the success in others.
As an undergraduate at BYU, I served as a homeschool teacher/tutor for three young sisters. For two years, I taught these girls' Math, Chemistry, and Physics lessons. I also worked as a teaching assistant for three courses of marine biology where I assisted in lectures and lab sessions, as well as assisted student groups in developing and executing research projects. As a master's student at UNC, I served as a teaching assistant for a public hea ... read more

I love teaching and enjoy working with all types of students from remedial to enrichment as well as at-rist, non traditonal, and college students. I have a very interactive teaching style. I enjoy getting the students involved in the learning process. I encourage students to be active rather than passive learners. I also do my best to relate whatever subject I am teaching to the real world. In doing this, students have a better understanding of why it is important to learn such subjects as History, Algebra, and Foreign Languages such as Spanish. It is my goal to instill a sense of accomplishment, pride, and intrigue into the minds of my students.
