A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching philosophy is to get students to think about science as a process, and to individualize their learning experiences. I prompt them to “why” and “how” questions at every stage.
Progressing through graduate school and working as a undergraduate student demonstrator allowed me to define learning as a personal process of growth. Being able to ask questions and actually attempt to answer those questions was extremely motivating. Involving and motivating students presents its challenges, but my goal of individualizing learning creates an open and comfortable environment where students can feel free to ask questions, make mistakes, and challenge themselves. It is by breaking down the barriers to learning that students can face their own misconceptions.

More About This Tutor...

I approach tutoring with the assumption that every student wants to learn more but isn’t always sure how to proceed. Each student brings his or her own perspective to understanding a subject. I try to find where the student is having difficulty and how they process the material i.e. are they a visual learner, auditory, kinesthetic learner etc… It is also important to address any misconceptions they have and to do so early so that they can build a sound base for learning. It is my job to increase their mastery of a subject, but I also feel it is important to build self-confidence in my students because this carries over into many other aspects of their lives.
My enthusiasm for the natural world began at an early age and as never left me. I enjoy sharing my experience and understanding of natural processes with others. My favorite area of biology is botany. I received an undergraduat ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have always loved to learn. In college, I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a BS in Biology. However, I made it a point to minor in Chemistry and Linguistics and to certify in American Sign Language. I have always had the desire to achieve the highest goals I could set for myself. While taking on the classes mentioned above, I learned great organizational skills and drive. I helped students at the University whenever they needed it. I started a tutoring program in my Calculus II class, and tutored students in this topic. I have also put in extensive time at Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh. This has allowed me to tutor and assist ill children with missed homework assignments. Also, through the hospital I have learned to be sensitive to each child and each family. I also learned excellent planning and time distribution by planning many activity days, music sess ... read more

I began tutoring while in high school, as a junior and senior I would spend 2-3 afternoons a week at the Middle School helping the learning support classes write book reports. While in college at Slippery Rock University, I put up flyers around campus and worked as an independent tutor for five dollars an hour aiding my fellow students finish their final papers at the end of each semester. I feel that my degree in Creative Writing aids me greatly in tutoring because my ability to think outside the box and put myself in the writers shoes helps me to better understand their writing style. I've recently moved to the city and I am really eager to begin teaching and tutoring again.
I prefer to work one on one with a single student, I do my very best to make my student feel comfortable and ready to learn. I learn what the student likes; music, sports, movies, I use these things to relate ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a B.S. in biology from West Virginia Wesleyan College. The college is a liberal arts school and I had to take a variety of course work aside from science classes. While I was in school I spent a summer in Australia with the School for Field Studies studying Tropical Ecology and Tropical Reforestation. I also spent a semester in Brazil with Antioch College traveling and learning with different ecosystems. I have experience writing preparing/carrying out experiments and writing reports. Since College I worked two years for a smelting plant in their lab. I currently work now as a medical lab tech for UPMC. I am pursuing my education by taking prereqs to get my masters in teaching.
While I was in college I volunteered as a Young Life leader and worked with high school children. Right after college I joined Americorps. The program was for environmental education and we worked wit ... read more

My teaching style is student centered and hands-on. I try to get students to recreate what scientists really do in the lab to discover and find solutions to problems, so a lot of time is spent in the lab and collaborating. I also incorporate data analysis in the lab experiences, so a lot of my labs require that students collect and share data, and base their conclusions to a problem on the data, and not a book answer. I think this is the reason why I had so many science fair winners at the middle school level. Often my parents where I amazed at what I could get their kids to create in terms of lab reports.
I have been teaching for about 14 years. I discovered teaching while I was doing volunteer work bringing science to elementary school children in the inner cities of Philadelphia. I was hooked. I had so much fun and the fact that I could get paid for it was secondary but a bon ... read more

My style of teaching is simple - make the information easy to understand. I believe that I possess a unique ability to modify complex scientific material into a more straightforward idea. The use of analogies is one of the best ways that I do this. As a person I am patient and enjoy seeing the look of “aha! I get it!” in the learners eyes. I hope that my passion for the study of biology and science as a whole will spread to my students.
There are 2 things that I’ve known since I was a child, I am fascinated by the study of biological mechanisms and I enjoy helping others. As an undergraduate at Allegheny College, I excelled in the biological sciences and was selected to be a teaching assistant for the Cellular Biology & Molecular Biology courses. Last spring I was asked to guest lecture at Central Catholic High School where I introduced the students to basic cancer biology. Mo ... read more

I began my educational career at Duquesne University where I received my BA in Mathematics. After deciding teaching was my passion, I applied to the Master of Art in Teaching program at Kent State University. During the year program I was exposed to many great opportunities, one of which was teaching a college level Algebra course. This course was a combination of Algebra 1 and 2 concepts. I was also a mentor at an after school program for middle school aged children where I tutored the students in whatever subjects needed. After graduating I got a job at Wilkingsburg School District in the Alternative Education program teaching at risk youth. I currently teach Algebra, Geometry, and Integrated Math to high school aged children.
During my current job I have learned that each student has the potential to be successful. The means by which he or she achieves success, however, c ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

One of the very valuable lessons that I learned from my mentors and my own teaching experiences was to understand how people learn. Each student has his/her needs and responds to different styles of learning. As one of my teaching objectives, I want to accommodate every student and create learning path which helps students enjoy learning without getting frustrated. From my personal experiences, I recognized that students learn most from a teacher who is approachable and creates a comfortable environment conducive to learning. I want to guide the students in the right direction by providing them with the fundamental information to find answers and solve problems without always providing final answers myself.

As a young college graduate, my own school days are not far behind me, and I remember academic pressure and strain. Education is part of the foundation of each person, and a thorough education is vital for success in this fast-paced world. I believe in utilizing teaching methods catered to each student's strength: some learn by doing, some learn by hearing, others learn by seeing. A student's learning struggles indicate that the proper path to understanding a concept has not been found, and as a creative thinker, I will continue experimenting with different methods until the student achieves academic success. And learning should be fun! My goal is to create an enjoyable and sometimes entertaining experience for the student while broadening their horizons.

I pursued higher education to the Ph.D. level, most of my experience is based in research but I had the great pleasure of working with students privately and in the University environment. As a private tutor I taught Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology to high school students, helping them to succeed in their studies. In the university environment, I was in charge of training undergraduate and graduate students in the required laboratory skills, teaching them also the basic concepts of Biology and Chemistry needed to perform the protocols. I have presented my research in the form of papers and oral presentations to journals and scientific meetings, which has led to the further development of my communicational skills in written and oral form.
In my experience tutoring and training students, the most rewarding moments are those in which understanding of a subject becomes a r ... read more
