Another general topic, I have certification in General Science, which in 7th & 8th grades is often called "Life Science." Hello! My name is Amanda and I'm an experienced science tutor. I have been tutoring college-aged learners since 2009 at Maria College, where I focus on anatomy & physiology, chemistry, and biology. I received my BS in biology from Siena in 2010, and went straight on to my MSEd in Adolescent Education from St. Rose, where I graduated in 2012. I am certified to teach General Science and Living Environment in grades 7-12. I also have expert knowledge of study skills and how to tailor tutoring to meet each individual student's needs. My style is very flexible. I understand that some students just need to hear another person tell them the information, while other students require an in-depth discovery of each concept. I can provide both and anything in between to match you

My teaching style is very structured and organized. I teach with the style that every child is unique and learns at their own style and pace. I do not believe in rushing learning nor that every skill, style, environment or learning setting works for every student. My teaching style also mirrors the idea that children learn through hands on, interactive, tactile, and motivating experiences, resources and materials. Most of all, my style of teaching is based upon tapping into each child's own interest or interests that academics can be related and taught through. over 5 years experience teaching, tutoring, mentoring and providing academics to children ages 2 through 12th grade. over 5 years experience working with, teaching, caring for and providing assistance to special needs children and adults experience working with students and adults of all abilities and disabilities including

I believe my field experiences have truly prepared me to work with a diverse student population. While student teaching, I had the opportunity to work with both Regents transition classes and Honors Biology classes. Teaching students with such diverse needs has taught me how to maximize learning for students with IEPs, high achievers, and everyone in between. I also spent one week teaching at Frederick Douglass Academy in Harlem. These experiences have shaped my teaching philosophy and have instilled within me a fearless expectation that all students will learn. I believe my investment in students and my desire to help each individual realize his or her promise will allow me to serve as an effective educator. I am currently a graduate student at Ithaca College. When I graduate at the end of June, I will be fully eligible for an initial teaching certificate in Adolescence Education, Biolo

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. 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.

I have been a Junior High Math teacher for more than 20 years.I also have taught returning Empire State College students in Basic Math and electronics. In my last position, I created "Striving for Excellance in Math". It was a combination of daily and weekly drills and activities. I currently am working for EVI. They score all of the NYS Assessment exams. I therefore know what is required to exceed the standards required by NYS. I have also taught Math9,Course 1,and Math A. I feel I am therefore well versed in all that is required for 9th grade math!! I have never had a student fail the regents. I left full time teaching 3 years ago. I was the whole math dept. I taught 6,7,8,9th grade math in a private school. I did not realize how much I would miss it. I sometimes day dream about how I would teach a certain topic a different way. I have always thought that teaching is magical. When you

My teaching style is replete with visuals and drawing an analogy from nature to help understand abstract concepts of science. I strongly believe students can grasp ideas instantly once they are able to relate textual information (i.e in books ) to a graphical content. Be it Maths or Physics or Chemistry...every complex problem can be broken down to the bare fundamentals which is what I stress upon always. I have had some wonderful teachers in my life and I desire to be one like them. I am a Research Assistant(PhD) working in the field of Semiconductor Nanotechnology. Philosophically I am trying to understand reality from an atomic perspective. I graduated from NJIT with a MS degree where I tutored Seniors in Maths, Physics and Chemistry for 2 years. Prior to my MS I worked in IT(software) industry for 2 years where I trained my co-workers programming skills. My favorite subjects are Math

I have been working with children since high school. Currently I substitute teach through the Capital Region BOCES system in grades kindergarten through twelfth grade. I enjoy working with all age groups. For two summers I have worked at a discovery camp for students in grades kindergarten through second grade as the science teacher. This allowed me the opportunity to come up with creative activities and science experiments for the students to take part in. Also in college I worked for the Equal Opportunity program tutoring college students. I believe it is important to get to know the child you are teaching. Every child learns differently. By evaluating the childs strenghts and weaknesses you can help the child to succeed. I believe it is important to make learning interactive and intersting for the student. The more interested the child is in the subject matter the easier it is for the
