Life Science is one of my top subjects! Includes various disciplines: invertebrate zoology, taxonomy, organismal biology, evolution, biodiversity, biogeography. Also museum curation and collections management.

I have work experience as a wildlife biologist and ecologist specializing in rare and endangered species research and conservation. I also have expertise in natural history collections curation and management having worked at three natural history museums over the course of my career. I am comfortable teaching in a traditional classroom, home, or in the field in an outdoor setting.
Emphasize understanding of concepts rather than test taking skills.

Today is a great day to learn something new!

I am a full-time high school teacher with over 12 years of experience in education. I specialize in Science, but have experience teaching and tutoring most levels and subjects. Throughout my 12 years in public education I have developed many skills to accommodate various student needs. I have a love for learning and inspiring my students to be life-long learners by making content meaningful. Teaching and learning is successful when students not only "know content" but are able to create connections and demonstrate real-world applications.
I foster development of the whole student by encouraging critical thinking. My methods are adjusted to meet the students needs with an individualized approach. My goal is to promote self learning and help students develop necessary critical thinking skills.

I have a passion for learning, and that carries over into my teaching style. I believe in using hands-on, engaging lessons and activities as much as possible. I have seen first hand how much a classroom dynamic can change when students are engaged in their work. Regardless of the set of students, patience and understanding go farther then any text book alone will. I pride myself on my ability to relate to children and give them the kind of learning experience that will allow them to reach their highest goals. Positive reinforcement along with a holistic learning approach goes a long way with children; I strive to always provide my students with that.

I began teaching by volunteering in the public school and subsequently was employed as a second grade teacher assistant for a master teacher. After nearly seven years, the opportunity to complete a Master's degree in elementary education became a reality for me. With my experience as an assistant, long term substitute teacher, and professional development, I also received certification in Special Education-moderate needs K-8. My employment consists mostly of long term substitute teaching positions in the public schools. During the last two years, I have tutored for Club Z! In Home Tutoring, a company receiving grant money for public schools to meet the standards for the NCLB law.

More About This Tutor...

My passion as a teacher is working with children. I have a passion for education that I hope to show through my teaching and share with all of my students. I believe every student learns differently and has strengths and weaknesses. My goal is to get to know my student's leaning styles and help them develop their strengths and use those strengths to improve the areas that are more difficult for them. I believe in Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences and I use the intelligences as often as possible in my lesson plans. I believe that there are many ways to learn and some thing that works for one student might not work for all. Through my teaching style, I will help my student's have a passion for learning.
I have a unique resume of teaching experience. I have worked in a number of settings from pre-school to teaching adults. I have taught in public schools, privat ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy working with students and helping them learn what can sometimes be difficult concepts in the scientific disciplines. I believe that all students have the ability to understand these concepts if they are presented in ways that they find interesting. I like to use multiple techniques when teaching, including the use of computer programs such as PowerPoint to show diagrams, pictures, graphs and short videos to illustrate the key points and concepts involved in a lesson. I like to challenge the students with questions and exercises that focus on these key points. I believe that a good educator will be able to motivate students by making the lessons interesting and by relating the lesson to real life experiences.

I very much have a "hands-on" teaching style. I am a visual learner myself, so my teaching style reflects that methodology. I explain the concept, demonstrate the process, reintroduce the steps and then allow my students to practice, practice, practice while offering guidance, suggestions, and positive reinforcement. I am very aware that all students are different. What I have come to learn is that with patience and the desire to truly want each child to succeed, all students can learn. I am a veteran so I pride myself on being organized and disciplined. I am also a volunteer in nursing homes so I consider myself to be compassionate, patient and understanding.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that in order to be a truly exceptional teacher, one must put an effort into getting to know their students as an individual. It is important to design lessons that will compliment a student's personal learning style and reflect their interests. I think that learning can be demonstrating in several different capacities. Students should be encouraged to ask questions about their world and explore their natural curiosities. Students should not be afraid to ask questions or to ask for further clarification. They should not be fearful of making a mistake. Mistakes should be used as an essential tool in the learning process. I strive to make a positive impact in the lives of each student.

A Little Bit About Me...

Talking with students and analyzing their work samples determines their needs. I ask students to complete a "multiple intelligence" survey to determine their learning strengths. In designing delivery of services I incorporate specific strategies to complement their learning styles. For example, a visual/spatial learner would benefit from drawing pictures to represent vocabulary definitions. I also incorporate a "self-talk" dialogue in our sessions helping students learn how to formulate content questions to assist them in clarifying their understanding of new information.
With a Master of Education in Special Needs I acquired the skills and knowledge necessary to adapt instructional practices for diverse learners. Working in partnership with the child, parent(s), and school districts I developed meaningful learning activities addressing the specific academic needs of the child. I h ... read more

During my years in high school and college, I was an honor student who excelled in all subjects. Not only am I gifted, but I am also driven to succeed. Most recently in my career, one of my greatest responsibilities was to teach/train my associates. For the past ten years, I have taught adults of varying ages and knowledge levels, both in a classroom setting and one-on-one. Many times, I provided additional training after hours in my home. Perhaps one of my greater successes was to teach a class of recent college graduates with no knowledge of the business or industry. Each member of that class became highly successful, and exceeded expectations. Because I am both excited and passionate about teaching, I am in the process of obtaining my teaching license in middle school math/science. My college coursework in Economics honed my skills in math and statistics; however, in order to ... read more

To me,there is no right or wrong teaching style. I have worked with students of all ages and academiic levels. I believe that after I have met a student and had the oppurtunity to get their feedback on what they like and dislike about the subject matter, That I can decide on a correct teaching style to go with how they absorb information. I am very creative and usually try to give more than one way to arrive at an answer; in that way the student has a choice,and can choose his or her own learning style and approach to problem solving
