Biology Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Byers, CO

M.Sc. Biology; Scientist by trade I have always enjoyed teaching others sharing my love of learning. I find it most effective to use a variety of methods to successfully teach information. Material is best learned when it can be easily understood by the student and has practical applications for everyday life. I am not the type of tutor to just hand out answers to problems. I guide my students down a path of critical thinking, all the while leading them to the answer by asking a series of questions designed to stimulate their thought process. I will find a different way to explain the material if the student does not comprehend it. I will always work at the pace of the student. I believe in encouraging each student to stimulate confidence and foster their potential. As a tutor of student athletes at Indiana University, I tutored students from all walks of life. I began by tutoring Biolo

I have taught over 20 students during my undergraduate and graduate study. Most of the students that I have taught are engineering students who need help with the basic understanding of concepts and visualizing problems. The subjects that I normally teach are Chemical Engineering subjects, Engineering Physics, Chemistry and Basic Math classes. My wife teaches Computer Science, she possesses a Master's degree in Computer Science and has taught Java and C++ during her grad school. She has a good knowledge in programming and can help with beginner to intermediate level programming concepts. I find out what exactly the student is lacking in the subject by asking a few basic questions on the topic and make a judgement of the student's understanding on the topic and then proceed forward. I normally explain the concepts in diagrams so that it makes it easier for the student to visualize th

I am by nature a lifelong learner. I am curious, introspective, and always probing to discover hidden meanings, connections, and possibilities. A professional musician/entertainer since age fourteen, I apply, among many other traits, my considerable experience in presentation, and my sense of humor to present a higher level and enjoyable learning experience, reaching for increased interest far beyond the page and pale. I have traveled extensively, this experiential vantage point providing an understanding of the differences & similarities within and across the world's cultures.

I believe that every student deserves to receive the highest quality education. Since each student can learn in a variety of ways – through touching, smelling, seeing, talking, and/or hearing, I will evaluate each student to determine "What will best help him or her to learn the subject matter?" Guided by that evaluation, I will "do what it takes" to teach the subject matter well to him or her in a caring and disciplined environment, for his or her long-term wellbeing and productivity. I want my students to learn the subject matter being taught, not just to get a good grade, but so each student will understand how that subject matter can be of benefit to someone when he or she (the student) puts that subject matter into practical use. After receiving my Bachelor of Science (B. S.) degree in Chemistry, I tutored students enrolled in a GED program and regular institute courses in the areas

Each time I have taught a different age-level I have sought to accommodate myself to the learning style of that particular level, whether psychokinetic for kindergarten and preschool, audio-visual for lower elementary, or verbal-phonemic for upper-level students and adults. It was in the teaching of adults that I encountered my most challenging situations, and even today the pedagogy is not nearly as simple as would appear at face-value. Reference to Ken Pike's tomes on the fundamentals of tagmemics, James Stanfield's affective pointers for students of various emotional statuses, and even the philosophy of Noam Chomsky on English deep structure, were all consulted early and often and at one time or another throughout my career. I have been involved every year since 1975 in the work of an educator, mostly for pay, but occasionally as a volunteer, either community- or faith-based, in three

I love, and am passionate about teaching children of all ages. I am a mother of three, and all of them have drastically different learning styles. I believe there are ways to teach that can encourage the child in their strenghts, and weaknesses and learn how to learn by emphasizing these strengths. I have worked a number of years in Early Childhood, Elementary level of Education, Middle School, and Special Education. I have also worked with children from the age of 6 weeks to 18 years old. I have worked as both a worked as a Para-educator and a teacher in a classroom with students with behavioral disorders. I taught 6th grade math and science 2007-2008, 2008-2009 school years, I taught 5th grade.I have both a CO. Teaching License and a CA Teaching License. Both are multiple subject credentials. The CO license is for K-6 and is my Initial Teaching License. The CA License is K-12 and adu

Tutoring the children over the last two years has been the most rewarding work for me. When a middle school child actually gets up, goes and gets a dictionary, and looks up the meaning, pronunciation, and spelling of a word, without having direction from me, it makes my heart sing. Never have I had that feeling before, therefore it is my goal to continue to provide any child with the best tools, a positive mindset, and forward ambition to achieve the best opportunities in life that only an education can give them. I believe it is imperative that people of all ages, ethnicity, and socio-economic status have access to the best avenue to attain wealth, prosperity, and an increased quality of life: an education. It is my hope that when my students leave my class that they feel hopeful, excited, and energetic about their futures. Securing a BS in Political Science was a process that allow

I have been engaged in tutoring since college; started a tutoring program for inner city kids in Atlanta, GA while in College. I have a B.S. degree in Biology and therefore have a lot of experience in the sciences and mathematics. I also worked with Step Ahead Tutors in Milwaukee, Wisconsin prior to recently moving to Denver, CO. During the last 10 years I have tutored middle school, high school, and medical students in an array of math and science subject. love teaching and working with all children but I am capable of teaching all ages. I am flexible, patient, and persistent and try to couple my persistence with humor and light-heartedness when teaching challenging subjects. I try to convey to all students who struggle that at some point, everyone has academic challenges; and that it's 'not where you start, but where you finish.'

I graduated from Colorado State University with a passion for working with children. I joined the Americorps program and became a Literacy Tutor in an elementary school. I had the priviledge to work with talented students and teachers. I gained a great understanding in the areas of reading and writing. To further my understanding of elementary reading and writing I have attended numerous seminars on tutoring and literacy strategies. I have tutored students in all subjects from math to geography and reading and writing. I have a strong desire and love for teaching and working with children. I find that if I can help a child understand their homework or help them read a story and they smile, then I have achieved success. I believe all children are successful and can learn, even if they learn in different ways. I think it is essential to set goals for the students I am working with and set

I have earned a bachelor's degree in English - writing. I have written critique letters to Denver School of the Arts writing students for my senior seminar in the spring 2009 semester. I have taken various workshop classes while in college, poetry, fiction, drama, screenwriting and advance writing. In high school I took a tutoring class for two semesters where I assisted the teacher in their classroom, 1st and 3rd grades. Every child can learn, it just depends on finding which way works best with that child, visual, interactive, ect. I believe that tutoring in such a way that the child discovers the answer for themselves rather than being spoon fed. In this way if a child gives a different answer than what is generally thought, in history and literature for example, and the they can support that answer with evidence then it gives them confidence and therefore when they had confidence the

I volunteer for HOBY (Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership Seminar) every year. This program pushes facilitation, which is what I strive to do. I like to try to facilitate and push my students to ask questions and talk to me as a peer. I always try to give at least three compliments to every criticism because students are often too hard on themselves. For some reason, most of the students I have worked with have had an English teacher along the line who has made them feel "stupid." It is amazing what boosting confidence can do! I like to understand where students are coming from and what their specific needs are so I can address them in a way that best fits their learning style and experiences. I began working with children who were diagnosed with autism my first year of college (I did this for 7 years). I felt a sense of accomplishment as I watched them grow as people. I realized throug
