My forte is science and math, which are often students' least favorite subjects, due to earlier difficulty. A solid basic understanding of these subjects is critical to being an independent, engaged adult; and it's just plain cool to understand how the world works! I enjoy removing the fear and guiding the students to increase their competence and self-confidence. I am funny, enthusiastic and know how to use the student's background as a "hook" to pull them into the subject.
I have a BA in Psychology, MS in Zoology and BS in Computer Science. I have lifetime Arizona Community College certification in psychology, biology, ecology and remedial math. My experience with special populations includes: three years full-time on the Navajo Reservation; three years part-time at the SALT Center at the University of Arizona working with learning disabled students; and a hands-on nature camp ... read more

I'm a very enthusiastic teacher. I believe that a student can only learn what they're interested in learning. For this reason, I find that getting the student to be interested in the subject at hand is crucial. Lessons should be fun and engaging. There are different approaches and applications on any given subject and finding the right one for each student allows for personal tailoring of a lesson. Engaging the student in interactive activities allows the student and the teacher to continuously assess their progress. When a student is able to practice the material immediately and is given their instructor's reassurance it allows the student to walk away with confidence and the desire to build on what they've learned.
I'm a very passionate chemist who has experienced various real-world applications of chemistry hands on. My diverse experience on the subject would enable me to ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I find that the most rewarding aspect of teaching is the time spent interacting and engaging with the students. I want to learn what areas were most challenging to the students and then focus on those areas, utilizing different teaching tools to meet each student's need and most comfortable style of learning. I also believe in continued development of their strengths with constant refreshment of what they understood. I will foster an environment in which the student(s) feel comfortable asking questions. I am eager to provide a great opportunity for students to set goals and work to achieve them.
I am a junior at St. Mary’s University in San Antonio Texas, but return home to Tucson, AZ for the summers. I am working towards my Bachelor of Science in Biology and I am currently applying to medical school. Through my strong academics and excellent organization skills, I was chosen to t ... read more

After many years as a Wyoming rancher and three years as an ESL volunteer, I returned to school to become an ESL professional. With my Master of Education degree in hand, I taught a year of ESL classes at Cochise College, then became the Adult ESL Coordinator for Northwest College in Powell, Wyoming. My career path led other directions for several years, then I had the opportunity to return to education as a secondary science teacher in two charter schools. My years as educator have been the most interesting and compelling of my career, and now semi-retired, I'd like to continue part-time.
Every student can learn with motivation. Most of my classes were self-paced, and I had great success in motivating students of all types. My most recent position was teaching science to at-risk high school students who averaged 4th grade levels in reading and math. Every participating student ear ... read more

An understanding of the student and his/her background, strengths and weaknesses, and motivation is key to successful learning. This student-centered approach has gained favor in recent years, and using this approach in an interactive way allows the student to develop critical-thinking skills at an optimal pace.
As a graduate student at the University of Chicago, I was responsible for leading introductory core Biology labs, which covered an array of concepts in biology, statistics, computer usage, and experimental design. Because lab reports were frequent requirements, I also was able to improve skills as a writing tutor I had already developed as a writing tutor (paid student position) in the Writing Lab at Towson University. I also have taught a remedial study- and life-skills course for students on Academic Probation at the University of Arizona. Finally, in my capacity as Acade ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have always been interested in helping students like me who struggle in the math and science courses. As such, I have started tutoring during my high school days and armed with several years of experience, I intend to help more and more students as I go onwards to getting my Master's degree in Microbiology. I am currently majoring in Microbiology with minor concentrations in Chemistry and Japanese.
I have performed tutorial sessions on arithmetic subjects like algebra, geometry, and calculus. Also, I am familiar with the physical and life sciences like general biology, microbiology, genetics, general chemistry, organic chemistry and biochemistry. I make tutoring fun and "doable" even for the hardest of classes, according to my students. I have tutored several students who have struggled through anxiety regarding the harder subjects of the math and sciences but successfully receiv ... read more
