Earth Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Currie, NC

After college graduation, I taught Algebra, Algebra II, Geometry, Earth Science, Biology and Chemistry for one year at a private school in Fresno, CA. I then moved to San Jose, CA and taught at Valley Christian High School. I taught Algebra and Algebra II for one year and then taught Biology and Honors Biology for two years. I also taught Algebra in summer school to students that required more of a smaller, one on one environment to learn. During this time, I earned my California teaching certificate. I then moved to Wilmington, NC and taught for two more years at Waccamaw Academy in Whiteville, NC. Because of the long commute I faced every day, I got a job working for a Pharmaceutical company in Wilmington. During my nine years there, I obtained my MS in Chemistry from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. After only one year with the company, I became a trainer for al

BA degree of interdisciplinary studies. 36 credits in Science and over 26 credits in Education. I am currently working on my Masters of teaching degree and substitute teach for all Grade levels. I have been working with Children if all ages. My career started as a preschool and Private Kindergarten teacher which lead to a Director position. I enjoy substitute teaching now at all levels but my very favorite is Science! When working with a student I try to first understand their specific learning style. Not every child is the same and retains information best using different methods of teaching.

Tutoring differs from teaching in that "style" is replaced by method. Some of the methods I have used in the past are rhythm and music, neumonic devices, and of course, drill and practice. I have been told that I am gifted with presenting material in novel ways. As mentioned in my earlier description, I have eighteen years experience as an educator. I have taught students of all ages from early childhood through college and non-traditional adult education. I believe in making learning fun and engaging by relating concepts to points of interest for the individual student.

I was hired full-time to teach in the sciences at a private college in Michigan. The subjects I taught included Anatomy and Physiology, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Nutrition, Chemistry and more. Over three years, I advanced to Dean of Health Sciences, and while I set up and administered programs in that area, I continued to teach in the sciences. After I moved to Wilmington, I taught for Miller-Motte College and one semester at Hoggard High School in Chemistry and Earth Science. I took an exciting 2-year position in Seattle, Washington where I developed curriculum for home care aides and weatherization technicians and I continued to teach in the sciences, both in class and online. Tutoring is not just about improving grades, although that is the most obvious result. It is about allowing the student to feel the pride of success, and learn how to transfer newly learned skills in one subj

After receiving my teaching degree in May 2004 I was a substitute teacher in Washington State for 6 months. Then I spent the next 27 (Jan. 2005- Apr. 2007)months working as a Teacher Collaborator in the United States Peace Corps. Upon successful completion of the Peace Corps I moved to London, England and taught 6th grade from 2007-2010. During that time I did 1-1 tutoring with 10 children for a total of 100 hours. Tutoring was primarily in Math. I find that teachers are most effective when they get to know the children. What interests/motivates them. Using that information I create lessons that are specifically suited for them. By using a variety of resources I help students maximize their potential by realizing that learning can be fun.

I love teaching all grades and levels. The most important aspect of teaching is to know your student. Each individual learns in different ways, some are tactile learners, some are visual, and some are auditory learners. Incorporating all aspects into my teaching style assists the retention of the material. It also has to be relatable to the student, so we have to use relevant examples that they understand. All children can learn any subject if you can spark their interest. There is no better feeling than seeing the light turn on and the sense of accomplishment in a child's eyes. I have completed all courses for my Associates Degree and was a trainer at my previous position. When in high school, I was a college preparatory student and graduated with a high school Diploma as well as 12 Advanced Placement courses and completed my International Baccalaureate diploma.

I thoroughly enjoy and delight in interacting with students as a tutor, providing individual attention for students who desire to excel in their studies. I want every individual I work with to benefit from what I can share with them. I am well aware that every student has a different learning ability, and each individual will retain information to a different degree. Throughout my years as a tutor, I have worked to create and apply the learning style that works best for each student so that we, as a team, can work together to achieve their potential. I have a Bachelors of Science degree in biology with a pre-medicine and chemistry concentration. I am currently a personal tutor with elementary through college students, including ADD/ADHD and learning disabled students, providing one-on-one individualized instruction for over 10 years. My wide variety of tutoring experience includes elemen

For me, there's nothing better than seeing that light of understanding and excitement come over someone's face when they solve a problem (like math) or suddenly comprehend a subject they were having trouble with (like how to write a paper). And it doesn't matter what the age is; anyone can learn. I'm very patient, but I don't take nonsense from anyone either. They have to be as serious about learning as I am about teaching. My educational background (I’m an Ivy League grad), high levels of achievement, work experience, mentoring and teaching activities gave me the skills to be an effective tutor. As a senior employee, I mentored new employees. As a graduate teaching assistant, I worked with college students in helping them understand complex subjects. At my daughter’s elementary school, I worked with students on improving their reading skills. My strongest skill set is in English compreh

I received my BS in Biology from UNCW and for the last 15 years I have been an Environmental Chemist. Now, I am pursuing my true calling as an educator. It was a regular part of my job to teach and train new grad students and employees and also to do community outreach. In the latter role, I was guest lecturer on three occasions at Brunswick Community College and taught fourth graders about pet waste and storm water runoff during the "Scoop Your Poop on the Loop" campaign. I believe educating is a matter of connecting with students in order to learn how to break down complex concepts so they can understand. It really is a challenge I love and I get a great deal of satisfaction when I see that eureka moment. I believe the reason that some people do not enjoy science is that they never had a teacher who was excited about making these concepts accessible. Discoveries can be made by th

During my time at NC State, I worked at the mathematics laboratory for two years. In that short amount of time, I learned as much as I taught. The experience of communicating technical information in a way that is accessible requires a set of skills that, in my humble opinion, will always be in demand. In mathematics, I was taught early on that in order to prove something you need three things: 1. facts that are obvious/self-evident 2. relate them in a logical way 3. frame these facts and their relationships inside of a theory Engineering is just applied mathematics. I believe that anyone can do it, at their level; the key for an educator is to have sufficient people skills to diagnose the problem areas a given student might have and then address those in the context of solving a given problem.

As a student in high school, I was intrigue by the concepts of math and science. I entered college seeking more knowledge in these subject areas. I received a BS in Chemistry in 1999 and later decided in my life that I wanted to share my passion of the subject areas with others. This is when I decided to pursue a teaching career. I received a dual certification in middle school mathematics and science in 2006. I have taught for the past four years as a certified teacher in the state of North Carolina in the Clinton City and New Hanover school districts. Currently I am pursuing a Master of Arts in Teaching and my expected date of completion is August 2010. Teaching has allowed me to personally understand the unique learning styles of individual learners as they face the challenges of standardized testing, a rigorous curriculum, and their social development.
