Life Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Clatskanie, OR

I think teaching styles should differ based on the preferred learning style of the student. The teaching style should play on the strengths and preferences of that particular student. That being said, I foster a student-centered approach to learning. This approach encourages the student play an equal, active role in the learning process, rather than a passive role. A cooperative approach is important so the student can feel like he or she is an active and capable participant in learning the material. I also believe in leading by example and allowing the student to use me as a resource for reviewing their work. I have tutored children off and on since I was in high school. More recently, my time has been spent volunteering with The Giving Tree, where I tutored inner-city children after school and helped organize activities (museums, zoo, etc.) on the weekends.

I am enthusiastic and passionate about science. I feel that everyone has an ability to do well in science. I love to make content relevant to my student's lives. I believe it is important to strive for knowledge gains rather than just a grade. My final goal is for my students to do well and come away having enjoyed the content. Each student learns differently and it is my job to help them access the information where they are. I also challenge my students to further their scholastic aptitude by working on study skills, developing avenues to finding answers, and developing strategies for test taking. I would love the opportunity to help your student have success in their academic career. As a pre-med student I strove for excelllence in my undergraduate education at Azusa Pacific University. My course work was broadly based in chemistry and biology. Directly after graduating I was hired b

I am known for my amazing listening skills and empathy. I am a student of Non-violent communication and use it at every opportunity. I love to teach with symbolism and visual techniques. Most of all I find it is important to listen to the child and see how they need to be taught and adjust to their comfort levels. I feel that patience and compassion for different cultures is also key to the student’s success. I recently graduated with honors from PSU and have a strong desire to work with and help children. I have a passion for literacy and believe it has the power to change lives. I am a single mom of a 14-year-old son and have also volunteered with the African Women’s Coalition to tutor African Refugee children. Working with the children transformed my life and taught me the importance of knowledge.

I received my Bachelors of Arts degree from Willamette University, where I majored in politics and minored in economics. I chose to work for a Bachelor's of Arts degree because it stresses a strong understanding of all subjects - this is the core of my approach to learning and education. During my senior year of high school I tutored math and science at a middle school for one year, and prior to this spent several years babysitting and assisting elementary school-aged children with their studies. Though my experience is limited to tutoring, it came easily to me and I am confident that I can help others better understand what I have already learned. As a student that has earned consistently high marks and test scores, I am in a great position to do this. In my own experience, the key to learning has been to find a "critical link:" that is, to figure out an angle that makes sense to my bra

I am enthusiastic and encouraging and I believe that a positive attitude and self-confidence can get you anywhere. When working with students and children I try to create a positive, encouraging, relaxed learning environment that allows students to believe in themselves and their ability to learn. I am laidback and patient and believe every child can be successful if encouraged to work hard and believe in their own abilities. My four years at Willamette University taught me to think critically and communicate well. I was expected to have an outstanding level of written communication skills and I honed these skills throughout my education, especially while researching and writing my senior thesis. I have excellent grammatical and verbal skills and a deep love of language and all things foreign. My International Studies major allowed to me to study a broad range of subjects including histo

Teaching students of all levels is a passion of mine. From my many years of experience around children, I have found that I do not have just one teaching style. Each child is unique and therefore the approach I take with each child is unique. I have had the greatest success in trying different learning methods to tailor each educational program to meet the unique needs of each individual child. My educational background and prior tutoring history have taught me to analyze not only how the child can process the information itself, but to look at the environment and social factors that can affect learning and academic performance. By using this holistic approach, I have found that I have been able to effectively and positively affect each child I have worked with. In order to put myself through my college education, I worked nearly full time as a tutor throughout the duration of my college

I believe every child is curious in nature and loves to learn. Sometimes, a child will begin to lose interest and subsequently fall behind at school because he / she encounters some stumbling blocks in the learning process. My approach is to help the child identify and remove these stumbling blocks. The child will then be able to regain his / her interest in the subject and be back on the track to success. I have a special talent in reigniting a child’s interest in learning. I strongly believe that children can only realize their full potential if they are interested in what they are doing. I love tutoring because it empowers children to succeed in their education and to improve their self-esteem. Born and raised in Hong Kong, I was very driven to excel in education. Success in higher education is the key to opportunities in such a competitive city. As the oldest child in the fam

During the summers of college I was trained in Project Read and organizational skills. I then tutored youth from grade school to high school in math and science from grade school math to algebra and geometry the same for science. I worked with the teachers to determine when assignments were due and worked on planning with the students to plan out how and when to work on projects to complete them on time. Also, from 2000 to 2007 I was a youth advocate which involved teaching career readiness classes, tutoring students for GED and continuing organizational skills. My teaching philosophy is first to have the knowledge for the subjects. Then, I think you need to understand the youth learning styles and to find out where they are with their knowledge and then begin from there. Certainly some refreshing maybe necessary, but most of the time the youth is behind so the teaching would focus on he

As a tutor, my goal will be to improve understanding of and appreciation for the subject matter, in addition to providing tools for effective self-study. I believe strongly in personal accountability, and will strive to give my students a feeling of empowerment with regard to their studies. Students interested in counseling regarding preparation for a professional school would also be welcome. After spending 20 years in school, I have learned how to study for just about anything. My undergraduate experience was weighted equally between the science classes necessary for entry into veterinary school, and my passion for the written word, which I pursued through the Oregon State University Honor's college. Veterinary school reinforced my knowledge in all the life sciences, in addition to honing my study skills.

Teaching has been my focus for the past 25 years, resulting in a bachelors degree in Psychology and a masters degree in Classical Archaeology and Art. I was an Assistant Curator of Ancient Art, teaching the university's Honors courses in Classical Studies and giving numerous lectures. By writing various papers and a master's thesis, I am experienced in research, writing and presentation. I have taught history to high school students for six years, taught Girl Scout leaders and girls in my own troop for ten years, tutored Native American college students in all subjects and taught vocal lessons. I love to teach people of all ages, developing great relationships. I am an interactive teacher, in that I believe in hands-on activities directed to that person's style of learning, determined through my experience in psychology and counseling.

I am a people person. I love children, I love creativity, and I love being helpful and useful. I believe everyone is unique and creative in their own way and that everyone has a little writer hiding inside of them, waiting to be discovered and tell the world their stories. I believe that reading and practicing writing is the best way to improve your craft. Being inspired from famous writers and wondrous stories is the key to opening up the writer within you. I graduated from the University of Portland on May 3, 2009 with a BA in English with an emphasis in creative writing. I also achieved a Minor in Philosophy. I am passionate about people, ideas, the creative process, and being useful and productive in our changing world.
