EXPERT TUTOR-MultiSubject; Home/ONLINE; +WRITING instructor

As a tutor, I find that it is important to present the material to the students in a way that they can relate to. My job as an educator is to teach them how to learn it and make them want to learn it. I personally do not believe that negative reinforcement is beneficial. Positive responses to students are extremely valuable, even if they may occasionally give the wrong answer. This will give them the motivation to do well. My philosophy is that teaching is part knowledge, part communication, and part intuition. My intuition is necessary to understand where a student is getting stuck. I myself already understand the material; the challenge is to understand why a student does not. A variety of communicative teaching approaches is best. I have learned that different students respond to visual, auditory, or tactile methods. As always, continuous practice is extremely important. I also must ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have performed special studies in a Proteins and Nucleic Acids Laboratory. Indeed, I have researched enzyme and protein isolation and kinetics. In an Instrumental Analysis Laboratory, I performed independent research associated with lead poisoning in Third World countries due to improper destruction of lead-containing electronic circuitry.

Additionally, I have experience in Organic Chemistry, Quantitative Analysis, Instrumental Analysis, Physical Chemistry, Functional Human Anatomy, Cellular Biology and Human Physiology Laboratories.

My comments on tutoring Writing : Writing has always been a passion of mine. I have experience writing in a variety of ways over a variety of topics. I enjoy putting words together on a page to display meaning to audiences.

I have experience in all things English. From the time I was in high school, I knew I wanted to focus on this subject in my studies in college. I received a BA in English and am currently earning my Masters in Secondary Education to be an English teacher. My interest in English goes beyond the classroom. I have always been an avid reader and writer, pointing out themes and connecting stories to real life. Since graduating college, not only have I gone back to school to be a teacher, but I have also written articles and edited for websites, blogs, and newspapers. i believe English is as important as any other subject in school. You must have English in order to know how to read and write. Having proficiency in reading and writing is also a step for you to gain your dream job. I'm here to help with that.
