Chemistry Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Erie, IL

My teaching philosophy is to provide a safe and welcoming learning environment for my students, in which they feel equal and confident as learners. Creating a positive learning environment begins with building a strong rapport with students and coworkers. Another aspect of building a strong classroom community is motivation. As a teacher, my goal is to help student build strong self-efficacy so that they feel inclined to work hard and develop an inner sense of motivation. I use scaffolding in my instruction, so the students are able to watch me demonstrate the skill or strategy, and slowly I turn over more and more responsibilities to the student regarding that skill until he or she is able to do the skill without my assistance. I graduated from the University of Iowa on May 15, 2010 with a BA in Elementary Education and a reading endorsement. Apart from my area of specialization, r

My major interest and most of the works were in research field, that helped me in explaining the theory of a subject in a practical way. I earned my Master's in Nano Medical Technology and Bachelor's in Biotechnology and Biochemical Technology. I gained research level knowledge in math and science that has been one of the major credential in both Master's and Bachelor's degree. I have considerable experience in writing research papers, lab manuals/reports and taking presentations. I carried out private tutoring for students of all age groups in both theory and lab practices. For past two years I have tutored students in math, biology, chemistry and physics. I have trained students to think, analyse independently by making them practice more and gradually increasing their expertise to solve the most complex problems. Since the level of mentality differs with students, its my responsibilit

My experience as a teacher has been gained through my work at Easter Seals, a pediatric physical therapy center, for which I have taught many children skills in life, communicating, and other various skills. I believe that a good teacher student relationship is imperative. Also I think that learning is best done in a stress free environment. I strive to provide that environment for the children I assist. It is also my belief that with a little hard work, some encouragement, and lots of attention a difference can be made in someones life. I have worked extremely hard to develop a well rounded educational background. I have earned a BS in Exercise Science, with a minor in Business Administration. I also have completed several elective math and science courses as prerequisites for a Doctorate of Physical Therapy of which I will be starting in the 2009-2010 school year. I have had the privil

I love to work with pre-teen and teenage students who are determined. I feel that I can help them get a better understanding of the things they want to learn. Although I have no formal teaching skills, I love science and and willing to help anyone who wants to learn. Working with people with disabilities has helped me to discover my great teaching ability. I believe every person can reach their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. In 2007, I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology from Drake University. Since then I began working as a case manager for people with disabilities. On the side of my job I have volunteered my tutoring skills to a few of my friends over the past couple years with classes like, biology, general chemistry, psychology, as well as physiology. Each person passed these classes with a B or better. With my backg

I have experience teaching many different age groups, cultural and ethnic backgrounds, learning styles, etc. I know what it takes to learn, because I have done it before, and I take what I have learned and apply it to teaching. I am patient and energetic and I have a love for learning and teaching. I especially love to teach math, physics, and foreign language. As a graduate student at the University of Maryland, I taught Russian 101 to undergraduate students for two semesters. I also taught Russian 101 at the University of Virginia for two semesters as a teacher’s assistant. I taught English as a Second Language through Black Hawk College for two semesters, and I taught infants and toddlers at Best Beginnings preschool and child care center for 2 years and 5 months.

I'm a student at Augustana College whose academic record has ranged from public school to home schooling to community college and and even private education. I've worked as a tutor for over 2 years at Black Hawk College, at the same time obtaining an Associates Degree. Throughout those years I've encountered many special needs students and many bright students, tutoring in subjects ranging from English, Math, Social Studies, to Computer Science. I believe the best way to learn is peer-to-peer learning. As an auto-didact I have the study skills necessary to regurgitate information as taught by the current institutional models. This is an uncreative and highly unnatural way to learn. There's a reason no major discovery was made in a classroom -- true innovation, discovery and learning is an organic process.

I attended the University of Northern Iowa as an undergraduate where I received a bachelor’s degree in biology in May 2009. Beginning in August I will be attending Des Moines University where I will be pursuing a career as a doctor. Aside from having a passion for learning, I also greatly enjoy helping others. One way I have done this is tutoring students in inorganic and organic chemistry, as well as anatomy and physiology. I have also participated in various volunteer opportunities, such as Big Brothers Big Sisters and helping in the Waverly Health Center Emergency Department. These experiences have allowed me to work with a variety of different people and develop efficient communication skills. I feel I have a unique teaching style. Because I have tutored students from sophomore in high school to sophomore in college, I have learned to tailor my teaching style to each specific student
