A Little Bit About Me...

I am a biotech business owner who has worked in industry, academics and government. I have a lot of experience mentoring biology students form high school through graduate school. I am an adjunct professor of bioinformatics at George Washington University. My main areas of expertise is are computational and and molecular evolutionary biology.
I think the best way to teach is to immerse myself in the same thinking process that the student must use to solve each specific problem.

Patient, Results-Oriented, and Dedicated!

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 continuou ... read more

Life Science is one of my top subjects!

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 profess ... read more

I am a certified teacher and have been working with students of the elementary age for four years through my college career. I completed my student teaching with Fairfax County Public Schools and with Department of Defense Education Activity in Heidelberg, Germany. I have worked with students on all levels and feel that getting them interested in what is being taught is the first step in learning. I am a lifelong learner and would like to teacher your student how to become one too.

A Little Bit About Me...

I earned a degree in biology with a minor in forensic Psychology. Although Biology was my major, I took math classes from Pre-calculus to differential equations although i did not need it but because I loved math. I am preparing to take my GACE certification, which is a licence to teach. During my undergraduate years, i volunteered at peach county high school in the city of Fort valley; I taught high school students math and science courses and i also tutored math and science courses during my undergraduate years in college. I have currently gotten a job with a tutoring company, all this I know has equipped me to become a better tutor

Let's get back down to the basics (Latin, History, Science)

I recieved a BA degree from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. I majored in Classical Civilization (with a Latin Concentration) and History. I have 12 years of experience teaching Latin. The courses I have taught include introductory courses, Latin I, Latin II, and Latin III. 3 years of Life Science teaching experience. 4 years of History teaching experience (as a tour guide and history interpreter) 12 years of experience teaching writing as well.
I like to boil things down to the basics. With Latin and Science that means learning as much as one can about the basic elements and then building one step at a time on those basics. In history, it means learning the story, and telling the story.

My comments on tutoring Life Science : Very familiar with this subject

I have taught for two years at Odenton Christian School in the Secondary department. I taught science and history during that time. Before that, I spent two years assisting in labs at college, helping students learn basic laboratory concepts. I greatly enjoy science, and communicating those concepts to students.

Individualized Instruction for Unique Learners

16 years of Public School Teaching Experience 15 years of Preschool Education Teacher I taught students with various special needs in a public school system for sixteen years. I left teaching to raise my son and then to raise my step children. I decided to re-enter the world of work and began to work part time in various offices (insurance, real estate, small business, clothing store and landscaping/gardening center) so that I could have the experiences outside of a classroom environment. I decided to work with children and began to pursue a position as a preschool teacher. I have experience working with adults who happen to have various special needs and I have worked with children from kindergarten through high school. My degree in special education has allowed me to be proficient with individualizing instruction and curriculum to meet the needs of each person I tutor. I beli ... read more

My comments on tutoring Life Science : Taught this to my children

I have been home schooling my two children for 13 years. My oldest is graduating this year and attending the college of her choice. My youngest is in 9th grade. Through these years of experience, I have discovered the best ways to motivate, to understand a student and to help a student understand themselves and the way they best learn. I have a broad understanding of many subjects as a result of teaching them myself for the past several years.
I follow a Socratic method of teaching. Leading the student into discovery by asking them questions, understanding what the student knows/understands and building on that. I am low key, but demand a good grasp on the subject before moving forward with new information.
