Marine Biology Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Gordon, AL

While an undergraduate at Colorado State, I taught various levels of chemistry laboratories for 4 semesters, which included both teaching credits and paid work. I spent one year as a graduate student at the University of Michigan in which I taught general chemistry recitation and a laboratory section. I also was involved in a class that was designed to educate future professors on the field. I spent one semester tutoring various math levels at the Community College of Denver. I believe that I have learned proper use of the English language through authoring a journal article and writing my master's thesis. My teaching style has evolved throughout the years, especially depending on the type of student, but has always included plenty of preparation and making sure I know how to work through each question properly in order to explain from more than one angle how to answer. I believe that I

I am a graduate of the University of Miami holding two bachelor degrees, BS in Communications focusing on Film Production and Marketing and a BS in English focusing on Creative Writing. I am well versed in the areas of math and science as well and have extensive grammatical skills due to my focus on classical English literature. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and using praise and goals to build confidence in learning. I believe all children can meet their potential if they can be motivated by their learning experiences.

In step with my 8 years teaching in a Montessori School and being a special needs teacher, I am in tune and aware of many different learning styles. In my classroom I was very successful in adapting the curriculum to meet the needs of a diverse student population. I am patient, consistent and enjoy seeing my students strive to reach their full potential. Experience and education in child psychology and child development has furthered by breadth of knowledge in the special education field. I have had positive communication and working relationships with both parents and co-workers. Sixteen years teaching has seasoned my teaching skills and has given me the opportunity to employ different collaborative methods with fellow teachers and administration. I have been successful implementing a wide range of educational techniques and media in order to address the different learning styles

Working towards my B.S. in environmental studies I had the opportunity to work as a high school tutor in mathematics and science. I worked with children in a traditional manner, tutoring them after school by working through homework problems and past test/quiz questions. After graduation I began educating children at a nature center in a less traditional way. Here I worked with larger groups, taking them to explore nature, creating activities that were fun but also educational. Having worked with children for many years in versatile environments, I have learned that every child has a unique way of learning. One may need visual representation, while another comprehends better via audio learning. Some children retain more information through hands-on activities while it is easier for another to read the material. Whatever the case may be, I revise my methods to better suit the needs of

I own my own science consulting firm and like to dedicate a certain percentage of my time to education and public outreach projects including teaching, mentoring, and tutoring. I have taught high school and college students on and off since 1986 and have had several students go on to VERY successful careers, perhaps one of the best ways to evaluate ones ability as a teacher. My most recent success (2006-07) was a 7th grade C and B student who had straight A's after only two months of working together and finished 7th grade with straight A's. Her confidence level increased dramatically (as noted by her family and friends) and she now has set her sights on Harvard as a real possibility someday. I tailor my teaching style to the student. Throughout the years I have recognized that each student has a different way of learning and I make it my goal to adapt to them, to try to reach them in a

I achieved an AA degree at Florida Community College at Jacksonville. I am currently continuing my education at Florida State University where I am pursuing a Bachelors Degree in Biology. I will graduate in Spring of 2010. After, I will continue to Dental School to become a dentist. I enjoy teach with all different age levels. Most recently, I taught 4th grade science through the FSU Teach Program. It was fun and really showed me how to teach students and make the lessons engaging and fun. Its important to keep the child focused. My goal is to make sure a student learns something new everyday that she/he will remember.

To be able to teach takes time and patience as well as numerous other skills, I feel that I have the qualities to teach children ranging of all ages as well as older individuals. In my time working in a lab setting my goal was to teach an unknown skill to individuals. I feel that I was able to understand that each person learns at a different pace and with different strategies and this is important when trying to teach. I feel that with my patience, understanding, and knowledge of learning situations I can be that one person that helps that one child breakthrough and realize how a little more hard work can make all the difference. In the process of achieving a bachelors of Science degree in Psychology I spent time working in a lab as well as being a lead counselor in a private after school program. In the school, my duties ranged from helping with homework to planning structured activate

While I have not had a great deal of formal teaching experience, as an undergraduate I had the opportunity to tutor fellow students in biology and serve as a laboratory teaching assistant. I have also worked as a collegiate athletic coach, where I was able to foster teaching skills and develop and implement original daily learning plans. My education has allowed exposure to a variety of academic disciplines, especially psychology and the biological sciences. I have developed advanced writing and research skills through the completion of my PhD project and dissertation. Additionally, my graduate work has provided the opportunity to give numerous scientific talks and presentations at professional meetings and within a classroom setting. I thoroughly enjoy working with children and watching them discover new things. I am especially passionate about making science approachable and enjoy

“You love what you understand and you understand what you are taught.” I believe learning should be fun and understandable. Many times, especially in science, students do not like a subject, because it is not explained in terms they understand. I believe the key is to relate any subject to something the students already understand/love. If a student needs help in math and they love M&M’s, then you can find an equation for the various colors in a bag of M&M’s or find the surface area of an M&M. Everything relates to everything, the connection just needs to be made. When a connection is made with previous knowledge there is a deeper understanding and you are less likely to forget what you have been taught. The key is to be creative and fun. I have been tutoring since I graduated from high school. I have earned my BS in Biology and a Masters in Physical Chemistry. I am currently working on

I think I could be a considerate teacher. I listen well to what others have to say and ask, and I get my point across in a concise manner. I can work with small children and teenagers. I do not have much experience in teaching and tutoring, but I would love to earn the experience. I am quite versed in classical literature and archaeological advancements. I have also learned to write research papers and essays well, so I have great grammatical skills. I know grammar well and can teach it with ease.
