Earth Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Cheltenham, MD

I use effective practices, strategies, and resources to inspire and enrich each student's learning. Direct instruction, workbooks, visual aids, computers, math manipulative, hands-on activities, mini-labs, student-centered discussions, one-on-one tutoring and small-group instruction are used to honor various learning styles, students' needs and goals, as well as to ensure they are active learners. Students participate in small-group instruction, hands-on activities, mini-labs; may use computers for further enrichment and technology-integration; analyze words and stories; make real-life applications to concepts being presented; and customize their own learning environment through student-centered and teacher-led discussions and enrichment activities while receiving caring and effective support and guidance from me! As a person who works with various groups of people, I continuously fi

My teaching style varies, depending on what the individual student needs, but it is always driven by an enthusiasm and verve for education (particularly in science) that I have been told is infectious (not a great thing to say to a biologist, but it's the thought that counts). Learning is most effective when the learner understands the importance of the material to their interests and the world around them. As such, one of my priorities when teaching is finding the relevance of the subject to the student and examining the concepts in the student's context. I tend to shy away from rote memorization, preferring active learning techniques and exercises that develop critical thinking skills, but I am flexible, depending on the student's abilities and response. I am an evolutionary biologist and paleontologist who has been active in the field for over a decade. I have been a professor of

Demonstrations, lectures, calculating step by step.. Detailed analysis of chemical equations I have taught with experience of 10 years of teaching chemistry at high school and elementary schools. In addition to chemistry, I have taught mathematics and then my students are successful in their national examinations and then they can join college easily. My unique style of teaching is that i will focus on basic chemical equations and stiochiometric calculations and I pay strong attention whether or not my students have understood the subject matter. Especially when I teach higher grades such as grade 11 and 12 , I will focus on thermodynamics and the electrochemistry topics, because this are unique topics that need much dedication and devotion of time to work and hence the students can grasp easily. When I used to teach for grade 7 and 8 , I focused on fundamental concepts such as periodic

I teach in the way of Scaffolding. I give the learner all the assistance they need until they no longer need it any more. I start by giving a lot of cues and help with each step. Then I slowly take the training wheels off and each time, I let them show me more and more what they can do with out the help. I hope to create leaders. I have been teaching children younger than myself since I started teaching Sunday school classes and became a adolescent influence in my previous youth group.
