Marine Biology Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Ewa Beach, HI

I love science and because I am excited about science, students I have taught previously have enjoyed the subject as well. And if I can assist them in understanding the material, they will be empowered to become problem solvers. I have an easy going personality which makes me approachable to students. My teaching mantra is "There are no stupid questions". I enjoy helping children and young adults succeed in their classes because as a result, they will have a positive influence in society. I believe that fostering scientific skills in students will lead them to generate solutions to the various problems that face humankind. I hold a B.S. degree in Molecular Biology with a minor in Biochemistry, and an M.S. in Human Cytogenetics with my thesis project conducted in the area of apoptotic signal transduction. My twelve years of experience encompasses both clinical science and research scien

Do your science or math classes have you frustrated? These subjects can be complex, but I have over six years of experience turning them into manageable, even fun, topics. I use analogies, case studies, current events, and that student’s particular interests to keep subjects interesting. I tailor my lessons to the unique learning styles of each student. My students learn by gaining a true understanding of the subject and not by regurgitation of random facts – memorized information alone tends to be forgotten immediately after the test. In addition, my background in journalism has honed my ability to synthesize information and convey complex information in a straightforward manner. Over the past six years, I have been a collegiate instructor, a private tutor, and a tutor for elementary, middle school, and high school students in science, math, reading comprehension, writing, and his

Teaching is as much a process as learning. It can be carried out most effectively only when it's driven by self-motivation. I'm in teaching because I want to be. It brings me joy... gets me excited in the morning going to work. Such zest in easily reflected in the way I teach. My students feel my enthusiasm; they witness my taking a personal interest in their learning. In a dynamic cycle of influence, we fuel each other in our educational mission... be it thorny tests, understanding of concepts, or simply, having fun. More important than anything else, my ears, and heart are always open to them... they teach me how to teach. An ideal juxtaposition of East meets West is vested within me, and lives through the knowledge of cultural ethnology, protocols, and languages of inter-continental roots. I am experienced teaching multiple subjects kindergarten, primary, secondary, tertiary, includin

I love teaching and working with both children and adults. I have learned to cater my teaching style to the individual's learning style, and age level. I am available to provide outstanding quality tutoring to students. Tutoring children and adults I prefer and excel in the subjects of English, Reading, Writing, English as a Second Language, Science and Basic Math. I am very outgoing, organized, and reliable. I know how to make learning "FUN," and when learning is "FUN," it is well retained and not such an arduous task for students. I believe in using concrete abstract models and real life visual aids when teaching or tutoring. I have over 13 years of combined teaching and private tutoring experience of both children and adults. I have a diverse educational background with a primary focus in Biological/Health and Social Sciences, as well as English and Literature. I have excellent

I have six years of experiences teaching college level biology courses in University of Hawaii at Manoa as teaching assistant. The courses I have taught include introductory biology, general botany, ecology, and cell and molecular biology labs. These including writing-intensive courses. The years of experiences gave me good understanding of students' needs, often encountered difficulties and how to guide them in a positive, active learning environment. I have more than three years of tutoring experience when I was in the college and early graduate education. This enable me to work with individual students with different level and their needs. For me it is a privilege to be a teacher. I enjoy teaching and treasure the moments that I can interact with my students because I know I am making a difference in another person's life. I believe that trust and good relationship is the foundation o

I was born in Costa Rica and I have lived half of my 46 years of age in Hawaii. I am a Marine Biologist with more than 23 years of experience teaching diverse subjects (including Biology, Chemistry, and Spanish) to students, volunteers, tutees, and the general public at the College, and High School levels. I enjoy teaching and strive to make my teaching sessions enjoyable for both tutor and tutees. I love to get the reward of the wide-eyed look that illuminates the face of somebody who has understood a difficult subject; I achieve this reward by approaching the same subject from different points of view thhat may illustrate better the "stuff of life that make things tic"(Biology and Chemistry.)

When I was a freshman in college, I knew that my future was in my hands. I befriended and contacted my chemistry professor and zoology advisor. I worked in both of their labs, and I was only a freshman! By studying in their research groups, I gained the experience necessary to intern at Sea Life Park Hawaii. In fact, I was published in 2007 after working for Dr. Charlie Cox in the Chemistry Department. Recognizing the need for more hands-on research experience, I found another opportunity with another professor in cellular biology. In addition to conducting this research, I co-wrote the research proposal for the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program. This was an honor, for we were awarded funding for the project! Teaching requires a patient, easygoing individual since not all students learn at similar speeds. There is not one single way to teach, so it is important to encompass di

I believe that the best way to teach is by integrating the artistic with the rational and have even founded a non-profit organization that is dedicated to teaching sustainability and systems theory using a combined approach. I hope to provide students with examples of interconnectedness in order for them to be able to synthesize information presented during lectures and readings with other aspects of their lives. I'm a very enthusiastic, patient, and inquiring teacher. My joy comes from building confidence and empowering students with the methods to tackle any problem. I have been a teaching assistant for six semesters at University of Hawaii at Manoa where I earned my Ph.D. in Molecular Biosciences and Bioengineering, and have taught a variety of writing intensive biology and microbiology labs. I’ve also had extensive tutoring experience since I was an undergraduate in biochemistry

Each student is unique and has their own learning style. It is vital to teach the person according to their unique needs and abilities. I am a compassionate, caring teacher who loves children and also the material. I also believe that a big block to learning is often either confidence or study methods they have been taught in past. Through guidance and encouragement, these both can be greatly improved. I work very well both one on one and in groups. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from every degree I have. I tutored students maths/sciences for 8 years, and I also taught High School English for one year. I worked as a national park ranger for 14 years, in which I gave daily multiple professional talks on many subjects and also taught children and wrote/gave puppet shows. I also worked for Emory University School of Medicine and Florida Institute of Technology. I counseled homeless veter

I am graduated from Brigham Young University of Hawaii in Biochemistry. While I am in school, I have been helping my family and friends in biology, chemistry, english and math. I also had tutoring the children I sitter for learning and doing their homework. I love teaching especially children. My goal when teaching children is to teach for understanding so in the future they can solve any problem with the same concept them selve. I know each children are special and have their own learning steps. I am understanding, patience, and excited to teach.
