Earth Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Gurley, AL

I have 20+ years of experience. I started teaching my brothers and sisters after school and then began helping their friends. Years later I am currently in college to obtain my Bachelors degree in Elementary Studies. I've taken classes in all fields. My specialty is English! I have worked to help students on different levels in their education. I consider my style to be optional. I gauge my style on the type of attention the student needs.

I am a certified Secondary Science teacher. I have taught in the public school system for sixteen years. I have taught multiple topics in science using various methods which include the following: direct, hands-on, inquiry, visual, audio and artistry. I promote learning through positive reinforcement as I believe a student is motivated more with praise than criticism. I believe in breaking down topics into their simplest form and then building on the concept until the student has reached a level of mastery. Although certified in Secondary Science, I have experience with all ages through tutoring all ages in all subjects.

Since I remember my days as a student, I am very patient with students who’ve never been exposed to certain subjects or materials. I believe you can only move onto more complex areas after you have gained a thorough understanding of the basics. I prefer to use real-world examples to illustrate abstract concepts. In areas like mathematics and physics, I teach students methods of how to solve problems, not just to come up with the right answer. These methods can then be used in other disciplines or applied to their later lives. I have a BS in Physics, Magna Cum Laude, and I specialized in astrophysics. As an undergraduate, I tutored mathematics at all levels from beginning algebra to calculus as well as the engineering physics sequence. I was a Teaching Assistant for lower division astronomy and physics labs, providing hands-on instruction as well as giving lectures. As a graduate s

Completion of a BSBA degree in Management of Information Systems has given me valuable experience in a wide array of business functions as well as a team based and case driven experience over four years. The strongest of my skills are in reading, math, and technology suites such as all Microsoft Office products. I have taught, under minimal supervision by the standard teacher for one year on the fifth grade level. I have tutored ESL, "at-risk," and conflict prone students in english, math, reading, science, and civics. Tutoring was done at the fifth, seventh, eighth, tenth, and twelfth grade levels both in school, after school, and home-based settings. I am also confident in tutoring freshman and sophomore level students in supply chain management, networking, and systems analysis and design with UML modeling. In many ways, learning can be customized to fit the individual interests o

As a teacher, I have learned that not only can I teach the children, but they can teach me how to help them better understand. Each child has a different way of learning and it is my job to help them develop the skills that they need in order to process the information. Teaching is also about forming a trusting relationship with your students and letting them know that I am here to help them. As a graduate of the University of Alabama, I have had several experiences within the classroom. Throughout my student teaching, I have worked with grades K, 2, 3, and 5. After graduating, I began substituting for all elementary grade levels. My substituting experiences led to a maternity leave position in a third grade classroom.

My experience in education is vast. I have earned a BA in elementary education. I have worked for eight years as a teacher in the education field. I also have a MAED in Early Childhood. I have also taught a Kindergarten class in church school for a year as well as serving as church school superintendent. I also have experience in working in a home preschool for one year during college. I have past and recent experience working as a a substitute teacher in Huntsville, AL as well as Flint, MI and surrounding areas. The best way to describe my teaching style is flexible. I don't limit myself to one style because I've never taught one type of child. Students are diverse and as a teacher my style of teaching must also be diverse. I believe in modeling and hands-on learning experiences. Students need to see new concepts worked through correctly. They should then show understanding of material

As a Summa Cum Laude graduate, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I have earned a BS in Business Administration, and a BS along with an M.Ed in Collaborative Special Education, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math, Reading, and science. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers, a Thesis, and laboratory reports, along with essays in many various areas of study. During the last ten years I have taught space history at the US Space and Rocket Center, and tutored students in English, mathematics, history and science as a Collaborative teacher. I am currently working on my PhD in Reading Comprehension. I love teaching and working with all children. Being a special educator, I focus my teaching style towards the needs of the student.

I began to realize my love and aptitude for tutoring as a volunteer Japanese instructor for the Daikin home-stay program in 2006. The next two years I volunteered my time with Rosie's International Services tutoring Spanish. At the beginning of the Spring 2008 semester, the Head of the Foreign Language Department, Dr. Maier, submitted my name to a tutoring department at UAH, where I worked tutoring Spanish, Japanese, Latin, Chinese, and English as a Second Language until I graduated in Spring 2010. Although I do not have an education degree nor teaching certificate, I was hired as a part-time Spanish teacher at Austin High School 2010-2011, where I started an informal Japanese Culture Club. The first thing I do with any new student is identify his or her learning style so that I may incorporate those specific strategies into my lesson for an effective and personalized learning experience

My teaching style depends entirely on the student. With patients and flexibility, a teacher can provide a student with the desire to learn on their own. With guidance, that student can remain motivated and willing to seek his or her own answers. It is important to me to impart that desire, because it aids the student in all further endeavors. I also enjoy playing to student’s strengths to motivate them. One example is a young boy who had difficulty counting past eleven. He enjoyed art, and drawing though, and through intertwining the two he grew to enjoy math as well. History has taught me various skills and understandings that other fields may lack. Not only do I have excellent writing and reading skills, I am apt at thinking analytically. Also, my research skills are strong, regardless of the subject. I have also spent three years studying German in order to grasp the language and unde

I began tutoring at the age of 13. I was hired by the Los Angeles School District of California as an after school student tutor. Through out high school and college I was a member of several community service clubs that took part in community outreach tutoring in elementary, middle, and high schools. In 2001 I began working as an SAT tutor for the University of California, Irvine's Early Academic Outreach Program. I conducted after school (7th period) classes that included up to 20 students as well as individual one-on-one tutoring. In 2004 I was hired as an Educational Therapist working with a child psychologist and providing academic support for students with varying abilities. As an Educational Therapist for the Center for Learning and Behavioral Solutions I had the opportunity to work with children with ADD, ADHD, Autism, as well as other special needs.

I have a strong passion with working with children. Coming from a line of educators, I have been exposed to greatness of education. I have a strong love for what I do, and know that when a student’s understands it is because of me and my skills. My ultimate goal is to provide each student with a unique learning environment. I believe that all children (no matter social status or background) is able to learn. Each child learns in his or her own way, and it is up to me to differentiate my lessons for each child. I love what I do, and could not see myself having any other career. I live for teaching and strive for excellence because knowledge is power, and I expect greatness. As a cum lade graduate, I strive for excellence within myself as well as my students. I currently hold a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood/ Elementary Education, which has given me the opportunity to become a third

From a very young age I knew I wanted to help others. During my years at college I volunteered at a school for children with special needs. I taught art classes, educated about oral health and supervised students to complete daily tasks. I did this every sumer for 4 years. I love all types of children, any race, background, age and any learning level. When I entered college at 16 I knew exactly what I wanted to study, Biology. Ever since then I have been obtaining my goals. I have also taught Chemistry labs. I would prepare and introduce labs on a weekly basis. I am a very enthusiastic teacher. I love children and I fully understand that every child requires a different style to learn effectively. I am very patient and responsible. I have a child of my own and I treat every child the way I would want my own child to be treated. Dreams are all obtainable. I aim to educate individuals of a

I love teaching and interacting with willing minds. Teaching "runs in the blood", where my mother is an excellent teacher in the Huntsville City School District, my father was a former teacher and all of my aunts and uncles functions or functioned in some teaching capacity. I believe that teaching should be made enjoyable and not laborious. The goal of teaching is to relate concepts and principles in such a way that a pupil is able to apply appropriately those principles in any situation that he/she may be confronted with whether in life or in a test. My joy is seeing a student excel and gain confidence in their ability to learn and to be tested on what they have learned. My experience ranges a great deal and encompasses a lot of subject matter from K-12 Math to English and Literature. My wide range of expertise is indicative of my schooling where I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in

I love teaching. I feel anyone has the ability to learn it is just a matter of having the right resources available. I am passionate about teaching, especially the sciences. I am hard-working, patient, and concerned about the welfare of those I teach. I do my very best in all that I pursue and want the very best for those I tutor. I graduated from Oakwood University with a B.S. in Biology. As a student, I maintained above a 3.5 GPA the duration of my college years. I bring a wealth of science knowledge. As a 7th grade science teacher, I worked tirelessly to ensure the success of each student. I have also tutored Biology at the college level which has helped me to understand the difficulties that face students in learning material.
