My comments on tutoring Science : My major is in Cognitive Psychology with a double minor in Biology and Applied Anthropology. I have taken a broad range of courses and feel competent in my abilities to tutor most elementary and middle grades fields of science.

As a returning adult college student, I have both classroom experience and life experience. My academic background in developmental and cognitive psychology as well as linguistics has helped me lead and tutor peers in small group sessions for hard to grasp topics and in pre-exam sessions for consolidation of the semesters material. I am currently employed as a UNCC tutor in biology and psychology. I have also been asked to return in the fall as a statistics supplemental instructor for statistics.
My approach is multimodal as all students are different. The one consistent element is that of an active learning environment. Passive memorization and repetitive tasks are not part of my repertoire as both have usually been unsuccessfully attempted by those seeking tutoring. I request a lot of participation from the student. Development of critical thinking is also a fundamental par ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have experience tutoring individuals with ADD/ADHD, Dyslexia, and those who simply do not understand the work. For the past 4 years I have tutored students in all subjects in the 6th, 7th, and 8th grades. Also, I have a child who is ADHD with whom I assist while doing homework. Though I do not have a degree, I am very patient as well as knowledgeable. I can break things down to any level so that your student will understand it better and possibly even enjoy the subject more.
Once I have an understanding of what a student is capable of I like to push them to go past their "comfort zone" in learning. It helps them understand that what may look difficult, may not always be so and that they only way to find out is to learn it. Also, I do not teach study habits. Instead I like to see what a students current habits are and work on expanding those habits so that the child does not get f ... read more

Hands on- creative-student centered learning!

I am a certified teacher. I have taught first grade and I am currently teaching second grade. I have 2 years experience as a tutor for students in elementary school and also high school. I work hard to help students do the best they can. I look for ideas outside the box to help students learn. Along with hands on activities, I also incorporate catchy ways to remember certain objectives. I make learning fun by creating a great relationship with the student which allows them to learn and want to learn.
I think that a lot of learning happens by students being actively engaged in what they are learning. I try to get/make hands on activities for students to learn.

Passionate about learning.

I realize that everyone learns differently, and I believe in flexibility. I also believe in encouraging success and consistency.
I have experience as a peer tutor. Since I am an avid reader, I love all things related to books, vocabulary, literature and English. I have young children that I help daily with homework assignments. I have also worked many years as a trainer in genetics. I am also a DI(directed instruction) volunteer for elementary school. I enjoy opportunities to share my knowledge with others and learn as well.

Time Tested Teacher

I began my 32 year teaching career in the field of music. I taught in the Visalia Unified School District in Visalia, California. I taught classroom music to children in grades 4-6. This was a job that required traveling from school to school encompassing 12 schools a week. During that time, I worked on completing a fifth year of college in order to obtain an elementary teaching credential from California State University, Fresno. Upon completion on my student teaching in a second grade classroom, I began a teaching position in Lindsay, California teaching 2nd grade for 4 years there. My next four years were spent substituting in the Rock Hill, SC school district after relocating from California due to my late husband's job transfer. I completed several long term as well as short term assignments. After that I secured a position teaching middle school math at Chester Middle Schoo ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I began tutoring friends and neigbors shortly after returning home from Michigan in 1995. I didn't earn my degree from Michigan until 2000. However, I spent the years in between working full time and taking classes. Many of my jobs involved tutoring students. In 2001 I received my Masters Degree in Elementary Education from Temple, and taught in the shcool district from January 2001 - June, 2002. I have tutored students mainly in mathematics, but when needed in other subjects.
My teaching style is extremely interactive. I do not believe I hold all of the knowledge and the students should defer to me. I like to begin by informally ascertaining what the students know about a given topic instead of assuming either lack of or mastery of said subject. I love using hands on materials and making the subjects relevant to students real life situations. I believe that all students, including ... read more

I believe that first key step to successful teaching is to allows the student convey his/her needs or problem areas. While much can be gained from looking at previous evaluations and test scores, I think that it is crucial to let the student express their needs to make them feel comfortable and build a commitment to the teaching program. In individual sessions, I feel that allowing the student to discuss concepts out loud in addition to completing written exercises and preparing questions facilitates the learning process. I also find that real world analogies are useful ways of linking academic information to previously learned concepts and facilitate the student's understanding. Walking students through diagrams or schematics is also helpful, especially when teaching scientific information.
Since high school, I have tutored friends, peers, and my younger siblings in several su ... read more

I have been interested in tutoring and mentoring elementary students since I was a senior in high school. My college experience includes coaching junior high kids, tutoring 1st through 8th grade students in math and reading, and observing veteran teachers. My years at Michigan State University taught me a lot about planning and curriculum, as well as the importance of hard work. Michigan State required every student to complete a year of student teaching. After I completed the year of student teaching, I took a 5th grade teaching position in Gaston county where I taught for 2 years. Last summer I decided to make a move to 3rd grade which where I am presently teaching.
I enjoy working with students in my school. Every day presents different challenges with students and it takes a great listener and problem solver to help students who do not learn material the first time. I p ... read more
