Life Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Culpeper, VA

Let's start out by saying I am definitely not your average tutor! Fun is vital to motivation, and I live on the stuff! I have been teaching for over fifteen years in a variety of environments, working in inclusive environments with children aged birth to twelve. I am now in my second year as a Special Education Teacher at a private school in DC that specializes in working with children who have Learning and Emotional Disabilities. I hold my M.Ed.HD in Special Education from GWU and a Bachelor's in Early Childhood Education. During the summer, I serve as the Behavior Intervention Specialist for Fairfax County Park Authority in Inclusion camps. Even in high school and college, I tutored peers and proofread papers. Currently, I tutor clients in Clinton, MD twice a week, and in Alexandria twice a week, so I m able to take on clients in/near those locations. In addition to tutoring, I am

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.

I make sure that every topic that i go over is clearly understood. A clear sense of understanding can make any "boring" subject more interesting and fun to learn. I like to start with the basics of a subject and move into detail as required. If more time is needed on any one topic I am willing to go over it as many times as the student wants. I have always enjoyed teaching. When i was in college I used to teach my juniors in subjects that they needed help in. My notes in college became very popular and are still being used today. I have taught at University of DC to a group of students for which I received very positive feedback. I have a done quite a few seminars in and out of college. I love to teach and enjoy the opportunity to pass on the information to others.

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.

Tutor students on a one on one basis. My teaching method is dependent on the needs of each student. As a tutor, I will help students achieve academic success in biology and math. I enjoy working with children. I have experience working as a Biology Teacher at Yang Academy for one year and as a math and biology tutor since 2003 as needed. I can tutor students from grades 1-12. I can also tutor adults needing help for their GED or ASVAB.

A teacher can only be successful if his student efficiently learns through effective communication. I find the best style of communicating Math to every individual. I am very patient and understanding with a talent to discern a student’s heart and mind. I am very encouraging and possess all the skills needed to take the frustration and anxiety out of learning Math and Science. High personal values get forged and refined in the fire of academic challenge. I value excellence and doing quality work. I have BS degrees in Mathematics and Electrical Engineering, two of the most challenging fields in education. I achieved success by developing personal qualities required to meet the challenge these two technical fields imposed and demanded upon me. The personal success of achieving high goals is the reward of sacrifice and self-discipline. I know exactly what each client needs to have s

I always look forward to tutoring new people becuase I not only get to make a difference in their life by helping them master what they're struggling with, but I also get to learn about people and different learning styles. I view tutoring as a way to help others while improving my interpersonal skills. I value all the skills I gain from tutoring because they will be assets when I become a physician. Working with all ages from kindergarten to college has taught me patience and how to conform to different people's needs. I graduated from Vanderbilt University in May 2010, and I am currently applying to medical school. In high school and college, I tutored in math, science, English, and test prep. Math and Science are my favorite subjects, but I also have much experience with tutoring English and grammar. I have also tutored people preparing for tests such as the ACT, SAT, and Gateway.

My ability to break things down to a level where students can understand more thoroughly has always been a string point for me. This coupled with my ability to develop a strong rapport with students has produced a positive result. I have large amounts of energy and enthusiasm that children gravitate to. On the recent term assessment for Charlottesville City Schools my children scored an 86% average. I personally believe the score is a result of my belief that high expectations coupled with strong relationships will result in success for all students by doing whatever it takes. Since I have entered the teaching profession I have worked with children of all elementary levels. This experience has provided me with the tools to work with all types of children from grades K-5. Since I have graduated from IUP I have worked primarily in an urban setting which has afforded me the opportunit

Guided by experiences in my life and lessons I’ve learned through teaching, I’ve come to understand that all children learn differently. My goal is to first determine where the students need help, based on their learning style, and then focus my knowledge and experience to help them using proven teaching techniques and my own teaching methods. My philosophy of education is that I believe that teachers should provide an opportunity to facilitate the academic, social, and individual growth of students. We should incorporate cooperative learning, which includes literacy, math and science manipulatives and writing to help children to work cooperatively and explore their various talents. Teaching is my passion and I believe that by teaching I can instill firm educational values in children and help develop within them a desire to learn and grow, which will lead to academic pride and success

I believe that much of the difficulty in learning Science is that people try to learn a series of facts rather than a story. It is difficult to do well when a student is dependent on his/her ability to recall from extensive facts where no understanding of the interrelationship is appreciated. I believe scientific conversation regarding seemingly complex subjects can serve to demystify the material. Humor often helps in this. I have worked extensively with students who know the material yet can’t test well for a variety of reasons. I have an undergraduate degree (BS) in Biology and a graduate degree (PhD) in Physiology. I have experience as a Professor of Anatomy in Graduate Physical Therapy curriculum. I have taught Anatomy and Physiology and to students from elementary school to graduate medical studies. I have most of my teaching years teaching Allied Health Students at the communi

As an engineering graduate, with additional exposure in substitute teaching for 5 years in various Fairfax county schools,I was driven to high level of excellence in mathematics and Physics.During my internship-teaching,my mentor was really appreciated the lab set up,and my extra innovative ideas especially to drive the back log students to create an intrinsic interest in their curriculum.I strongly believe all kids have enormous potential by birth but as teacher we have to identify the critical areas needed attention.Listening to the students is also one of the most important factor.This can be done either one to one basis or in the presence of a peer or paren,t but the confidentiality should be maintained love teaching irrespective of the monetary benefit.I strongly believe this is one of the profession you can achieve some mental satisfaction.Teaching never ends as the nature is globa

As an Industrial Engineering graduate of NC A&T State University, I have gained the a great appreciation of mathematical concepts and how they are applied in every industry and everyday life. When I know a subject, I can teach it. I am currently a Graduate student at Stratford University where I am seeking a Masters in Software Engineering. My professional experience have consisted of volunteer tutoring at the YMCA in Greensboro,NC where I assisted elementary and middle school students in various studies. I have worked for the Department of Defense as a Materials Engineer which consisted of complex algorithms, testing concepts, scientific methods and practices, laboratory experiments and writing detailed reports. My teaching style varies according to the individuals. I am aware that people learn differently. I am patient and willing to break down a subject for clear understandin
