I recently graduated from Duke University with a bachelor’s degree in Chemistry and a minor in Biology. I excelled in all my courses during my four years there, and as a result I will be attending a very well ranked dental school in the fall. I have a very strong science background, and have taken many courses in Chemistry, Biology, and Physics. I did well in all of these courses, even in a competitive environment. I have tutored Duke students in General Chemistry for the past three years, and their feedback has always been positive. I have tutored at the college level for three years, mainly because I enjoy doing so. I take pride in helping others understand concepts and do better in school. I'm very easy going during tutoring sessions, and open to students asking questions until they understand the information. I take multiple approaches to explaining concepts if students don't

I would best describe my method of teaching as a give and take experience. Through diologue, I am able to lead the student through the thought process that will derive the correct answer. Giving bits of information can provoke a new approach to the task at hand. I also feel it is important to individualize each person being tutored, as everyone learns differently. Some learn best through the use of things such as pnuemonic devices, while others may need repitition to effectivily remember the material. Gaining knowledge is a passion of mine and sharing this information is something I truly enjoy. My journey through the undergraduate sciences has given me the skills needed to be an effective tutor. Holding a 3.6 GPA, I was able to work with students in group settings, teaching as well as learning. As a member of the chemistry society, we also offered peer tutoring where I was an acti

When I was senior high school student taking AP Biology, I tutored a freshman student and helped bring up her scores for her final exam. During my time studying at the New College of Florida, Florida's honors college, I took two semesters of a class in which I prepared and taught elementary, middle, and high school students various topics in science. As a condition of obtaining my bachelors degree for the honors program, I wrote a thesis entitled, "Photorespiration: A Wasteful Relic, or a Potentially Useful Metabolic Tool?". Additionally, I have learned extensive verbal and grammatical skills from writing research papers and studying Latin. In order to comprehend a new concept, I believe that the student needs to view new material in a context that they can digest. I understand that different people have varying methods of comprehension, and I will work to find the best way to relay new

I have been Involved in the teaching and tutoring of academic subjects for the past 6 years of my life. I have a true passion for instilling the same love for education that I possess in my students. I have worked in about 9 different educational, tutoring, or mentoring facilities both before and after I graduated with my biology teaching certificate. I have used these experiences to not only develop my teaching strategies but to truly understand what makes a student want to learn. I have learned that constantly showing a student that learning IS fun will increase their will to do work and be successful. Through my teaching experience I have found it necessary to differentiate my teaching styles in order to be an effective teacher. Most often than not I have found that being a facilitator rather than a dictator is most beneficial to learning. I have learned that if students

Before earning a BA in Biology at Skidmore College and after graduating high school, I took three years off to play hockey. Concurrently, I enrolled in classes at Mount Wachusett Community College in Massachusetts and tutored in the math department. I tutored students in algebra, geometry, pre-calculus, and some calculus. At Skidmore I continued in math, taking calculus I, II, and III, and linear algebra before focusing my attention on molecular biology. I habitually studied with my classmates and I found great satisfaction helping others understand complex subject matter. The challenge to explain concepts in alternative ways in order to cater to different learning styles was enriching to my own understanding. Thus, while bolstering my own knowledge of the material, I developed the skills needed to be a superior tutor. My teaching style is fueled by my personal enthusiasm for academic

I love teaching and I am very interested in helping children/young adults better their lives by achieving their goals academically. I consider myself to be very in-tune with the mindset of children and employ various tricks of the trade to engage them in learning. I am very proud of the students I teach and I strive to help them better their own lives. A very important aspect of my teaching style is to help the children help themselves. Anyone can give them the answers, but I consider giving them the skills to find answers when I'm not there helping them a more important goal. As a student in a professional college I am very focused on learning and I have gained many skills and useful tips for studying. As a mentor with a program that my college hosts, I teach inner city 3rd grade students about science and math and reading. The purpose of the program is to encourage them to stay in scho

I prefer a “vertically integrated” teaching style. Science is a continuum, with complex topics being reducible to simple concepts. I will work with a student to break down difficult topics that are already problematic, and help them synthesize concepts into an integrated whole as new topics arise. My education consists of a Bachelors of Arts degree in chemistry, with a minor in biology and significant field experience in academic research in both fields. My inaugural teaching experience was as an HEOP tutor for introductory physics. I have been a freelance tutor for organic chemistry for over a year, and have tutored Regents chemistry as well, and have volunteered my services to fellow students for two and a half years.

As a graduate from the State University of New York at Albany, I am driven to achieve the highest level of excellence in education especially in the following generations. I have received a BA in Chemistry and Pre-Med. These degrees have enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of science, math, and english. In addition, I have learned extensive health and grammatical skills due to writing research papers and laboratory reports, along with essays in many various areas of study. During the last three years I have tutored students in English, Mathematics, and Science. The best teaching style in my opinion, explains how to research, plan and write essays, gives students time to practice these skills in class, and ensures students get feedback on how well they have done on each sub-skill. Students learn skills by using them in a realistic, subject-specific context, and in a combin

What motivates me to teach is the desire to instill a passion for learning into the next generation of students. Learning abilities of students are often related to their educational backgrounds and personal motivations. I exercise the policy of responsiveness to personal learning styles and the needs of my students by effectively communicating with them during classroom discussions. This becomes particularly important in the case of a few weaker or some international students, who need additional help, but hesitate to ask for it. To overcome such physiological barriers, I personally reach out to these students during office hours or after class meetings with them, and try to help them to the best of my ability. From 2009 I participated in instructions in chemistry, physics and biology for high school students to prepare them for high school science Olympiads at St. Mark High School, Wil

I started my career at Fairfield University as a Biology student and quickly learned that it was an exciting and very challenging field. I have learned a plethera of study skills, and enjoy helping others. While in school I was a volunteer basketball coach which involved teaching. I feel that through my life experiences and education I would make an outstanding tutor I enjoy helping others achieve their goals. I am a very optimistic person and try to focus on peoples strengths. I am extremely patient and easy to get along with, and will do whatever it takes for my subject to have success. I have my own method for studying which I feel works, but may not work for everybody so I am willing to find out what works for an individual. I also feel that tutoring is a learning experience for both teacher and subject, and I look forward to the oppurtunity.

I would like to teach a student up to their maximum knowledge level in that specific subject. I usually provide some of my own notes to study while I assist the student until they have learned the concept completely. Below is some feedback my students wrote for me while I was teaching Human Anatomy with disease and Genetics. 1. Once the class got into a rhythm, it was good. Good real life examples 2. Intelligent, admirable, kind person 3. Amazing teacher, best one I had this year 4. Extremely knowledgable 5. I think he truly tries to help his students and is very knowledgable and so on and on... I completed my Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Biochemistry and received my Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree in 2005.

I enjoy working with children and sharing the joy of learning with them. Children are by nature are very inquisitive. I strive to bring out the best in them by making learning a fun experience. I believe all children have the potential to succeed and I find great satisfaction in helping them reach that goal. I graduated with a major in Chemistry and minor in Biology. I have volunteered at homework centers at a couple libraries in Minnesota. Also I volunteered at a Multicultural School to help new immigrant children learn english and assist them in preparing for the GED exam. One summer I worked at a science camp to organize and coordinate fun and interesting science workshops for young children.

My teaching style tends to reflect the learning style of the student. I like to use various forms of study materials to ensure the student has a good grasp on the subject. I usually review the material with the students first and then give them a quiz to see what they have learned and where there weaknesses are. Most of my experience comes from tutoring my younger siblings in math and science. In high school, I tutored my younger peers to do well on their regents exams. I was the valedictorian of my high school and I got 5's on many of my AP exams. I graduated college summa cum laude with a BS in Human Biology. I have an extensive background in science, but I also skilled at writing research papers.
