My comments on tutoring Biology : I was a biology major in university.

For the greater part of my life I have been involved in various facets of education. I have acted as substitute teacher at the middle and high school levels for a total of 10 years, 8 of which were spent at 12 schools in Vermont and 2 at 10 schools in Hernando County FL. I held the position of Senior ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) with a highly reputed language school in Vienna, Austria for a period of 2 years and have offered ESOL instruction as a volunteer teacher at the Tarpon Springs campus of St. Petersburg College and with the Hernando County branches of H.E.A.R.T. and R.S.V.P. I have given prvate English language lessons to individuals from Nepal, Brazil and Puerto Rico. From December 2011 through April 2012 I was employed by "A Quantum Leap" as aa tutor under the SES program. While in the military, I volunteered to instruct Korean Air Force officers in correct ... read more

I prefer to teach in a hands on fashion, but the most important aspect of my style is to adjust my methods to meet the needs of the student. I incorporate study and test taking skills into most tutoring sessions and specialize in tips and tricks for areas of difficulty.
I have taught elementary school in private and public settings, in both New York City and Florida. I taught high school English and Global Studies in New York city. I have worked as a tutor in general subjects for elementary students, as well as for Reading, Language, and Biology for high school anc dollege students. I have also helped prepare adult students for the TABE, GED, and similar tests.

My teaching style varies with the learning style of the student I am working with at any given time. I believe in positive reinforcement with facilitative rather than demeaning corrections. My basic philosophy for all students is to meet their wagon where it is at, hitch my horse to it and carry the students as far as they can go with their abilities and aptitudes. I believe strongly that every student can succeed and that strong reading, writing and mathematics skills are a key to that success. I know I make a difference to my students because they and their parents tell me so. My most gratifying moments come when parents tells me, "I want you to teach my child just like you taught me!"
I decided to become a teacher in 7th grade when two teachers in a time of family crisis turned my life around and turned me on to learning. I majored in elementary education, earned a dual master's ... read more

My personal teaching and training experience with kids from Elementary to High School is exquisite because I have taught 6th Grade English Grammar and Biology, 8th Grade English Grammar and Biology, 9th Grade English Literature, Reading Comprehension, and Biology, and 10th Grade English Literature, Reading Comprehension, and Biology. I have earned two degrees, a Bachelor’s Degree in English Literature, and an Associates Degree in Biology.
I have a very unique method of teaching I use with kids- I’ll give them time to explain everything before I start my plan with them, that way I’ll know their exact personalities and work with that to determine exactly what needs to be done.And, at the same time,give them great advice they can use all their lives and build a trust with them that they know they can rely and depend on me whenever they needed to. This will strengthen their personalit ... read more

I have been working as a private tutor from my home or student's home for 3 years. I have tutored elementary through college level students. I am able to teach a variety of subjects, however my forte is English and Composition. I have the honor of being a published author. I am an expert in MLA or APA style writing. I have also tutored in College Algebra, elementary math, Biology, and Reading. I speak conversational French, and am able to teach up to the secondary level.
It is my belief that everyone is able to learn, and what produces that ability is having support. So many instructors give up on those not favored as "prized" students, and in turn, these students just slide through. I know it takes time and effort to get some students enthused about education, and I make it my goal to help them with this.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a graduate of North Georgia with a passion for language and literature. I have worked on projects that have been, or will soon be, published. I am a talented writer, and love helping others with their writing endeavors. I am able to read, understand, and transcribe French, however, I am not a very good "speaker". I have worked with different educational levels, from elementary to college, in assistance of writing assignments, as well as math, science, social sciences, and history. I have even assisted with graduate research papers, from an Oxford professor, and my students received top scores.
I want to first stress that I am only an assistant on their learning journey, not the protagonist. I will not do your child's work for them, but I will make sure that they complete their assignment, and we, as a team, complete it to the best extent possible. I know that a lot of childr ... read more

First I assess exactly what material the child needs to learn and then develop a timeline for reaching the goal. In the initial meeting, I seek to establish interpersonal comfort. If comfortable with his tutor, the child will not hesitate to ask questions if I move ahead too fast. Then I want to assess his present level of attainment and how he learns best. It is also necessary to assess communication skills so that I can avoid talking over his head.
As an undergraduate at UCLA, I volunteered for tutoring inner city fifth and sixth graders. I found it natural to sense their insecurity, frustration, or lack of self-esteem. I then chose an appropriate starting point in a particular subject, expressed enthusiasm as they demonstrated mastery, and proceeded at a challenging but not intimidating pace. After earning degrees in journalism and later microbiology, I entered the t ... read more

I prefer a one on one teaching program and encourage questions from my students to try to follow their needs rather than an arbitrary program of lectures. I encourage my lecture students to read the material before to make the lecture more understandable and allow them to use questioning to enlarge their understanding.
I tutored fellow students in medical school in chemistry as well as several junior AF enlisteds that were seeking to go to medical school. Additionally, I have tutored the children of some of mmy friends in both HS and college level chemistry. I have been involved in teaching anatomy and physiology for one year to nursing studentsand during my career in medicine I was involved in continuing education programs for my nurses as well as collegues.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have worked with children for most of my life. For 5 years, I was the owner/operator of a NY State Licensed Family Day Care Home. For more than 15 yrs., I worked in the field of health education in Buffalo, NY. As Youth Director for my church I presented numerous workshops at church events and conferences for children of all ages. My 23 year old son has learning disabilities. We were told that it unlikely he'd progress any further than the 8th grade. That predication was unacceptable to me. My son has his A.S. degree. I have a Bachelors Degree in Management, an Associates degree, in Liberal Arts, and I am a NY State Licensed Practical Nurse.
I truly love to see the expression on a child's face when he or she learns something new! I understand that there are multiple ways to learn things, so I am that person who uses hands on activities, music, games, rhymes, cheers etc. ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

It seems I have always been involved in education, whether through planning/implementing lesson plans, creating assessments or one-on-one work with a student. I have experience in all areas of education with all ranges of students and have learned from each one of them. All lesson plans and standards are adaptable no matter the need. I have created unique units (such as "Language of the Week") and worked with birth through age 22.
Everyone has always told me that I was born to be a teacher, that I have an innate gift to decipher what a student needs and to promote success and accomplish goals. I am patient, considerate and flexible. Learning occurs through teachable moments every day, and it is how we respond to these moments that determines our future. Student needs and learning styles vary and educational structure should be adapted to the individual needs of the student. I ... read more

My teaching style involves a number of methods to accommodate a diverse classroom.
