Life Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Hesston, KS

I have taught for years in the public school system in Kansas. I have also served our great nation in the military, and am proud to a United States veteran. I am an avid learner, and have been my entire life. That allows me to have a unique perspective on tutoring others, for I have struggled in many areas of my education, and know how to get the point across better than most.

I am currently a Physics Faculty at Wichita State University. Before that I had been working as a Graduate teaching assistant in the department of Physics, New Mexico State University, where I taught integrated Lab physics courses to both physics and non – physics majors. This position enabled me to provide these students with a “head start” in mastering conceptual skills in general physics courses. My Labs were integrated rather than traditional. I used a variety of techniques such as computer simulations, PowerPoint presentation, group discussions, videos presentations, online tools and a variety of homework schemes to beautifully unveil the various concepts in Physics. With a teaching experience of more than seven years, a PHD in Applied Mathematics with Emphasis in Physics , a Master of Science in Physics (Minor: Computer Science, Teaching and Administration),Master of Arts in Educ

I enjoy watching learners succeed. I have the ability to diagnose learning weaknesses in a student, effectively plan a course to re mediate the student's learning weakness, implement a set of steps to assist the student to take the weakness and turn it to a strength building upon already mastered skills, and evaluate the success of the student's efforts and move on or re-teach based upon the student's needs. I have the ability to motivate learners so that they have fun accomplishing the goals set before them. But I am at the same time very task orientated and use a lot of behavior modification techniques in my approach. After graduation from college, I entered the Peace Corps and moved to the country of the Federated States of Micronesia. I have lived in that area of the world for most of my teaching career. I have taught for over twenty years gaining experience on almost every level o

"Teaching" was the way I supported myself through college. I was a lab instructor, university experience teacher, cultural anthropology tutor, nutrition educator, and even a gymnastic instructor. I was thankful to find the College of St. Mary's Masters of Arts in Teaching. It is a solid program that has given me the opportunity to have a formal education in teaching. In my program I have over 100 practicum hours in a middle school science classroom, I tutored AP chemistry, and I have had exposure to reading comprehension strategies in many of my classes. Right now I student teach at Wichita North High. My classes are anatomy and physiology, biology, and honors biology. I have a passion for education. I am a lifelong learner that loves getting my student excited about learning. This is often easier said than done. Through instruction in my teaching program and field experiences I hav

I absolutely love teaching. I have considered continuing my education and pursuing a secondary education teaching degree. I believe I am patient and kind, and provide a learning experience that is most beneficial to all. I think that students can have fun while learning, and I try to combine fun into my teachings. Although so many students don't believe it, anyone can solve a math problem! They just need to understand how to look at the problem the right way. I'm able to give the one on one attention that a teacher isn't able to. As a Civil Engineering student at the University of Michigan, I took classes that led to proficiency in math and science, as well as general classes that have given me a well-rounded education. I have been tutoring in Physics and Calculus for the past six years. I have also been playing guitar for 10 years, and have been giving lessons for four years.

I have a Master of Science in Physics from Imperial College London, which internationally is ranked as one of the top twenty universities. This scientific background has provided me with my problem solving, analytical and numerical skills. The competencies I have learned and developed from my education has opened up many doors for me and I would like to take this opportunity to assist others in achieving their goals. I have experience in report writing and data analysis, in an educational and professional environment. My previous Employer also sponsored me to undertake an additional Masters degree in Construction Project Management which I carried out through distance learning while maintaining a full time job. I am a fun loving person who has always enjoyed life and learning. Given my varied background, I am proof that if you study hard and apply yourself, you can do anything. So what

I am a very relaxed person and possess an easy going teaching style. I consider myself very approachable and encourage those I am tutoring to ask questions. I specialize in math and biology and am able to teach to students with varying aptitudes in these subjects. My math teaching style consists of working practice problems and teaching different ways of solving problems since each student is different, not the same method works for each student. In science I try to relate the subject in terms of everyday life. I am very extroverted and always want people to feel comfortable around me. I think it is very important to have the students be comfortable to avoid the stress and anxiety that can accompany learning a difficult subject. During my four years obtaining a bachelor's degree in biology, I spent five semesters being a tutor in college algebra, statistics, pre-med biology, and sp

I have been tutoring my entire college career. All of my students received the grade that they were wanting and quite a few students even recommended me to their peers. I began tutoring one student a semester privately and was eventually recruited to tutor for a University program. While tutoring for the program I tutored 7 students one on one and ran a help room where I assisted many more. I have a BS in Aerospace Engineering so I am quite familiar with most math and science subjects. I also graduated from high school with an International Baccalaureate diploma so I am more than capable of tutoring any high school level material. Since I've been tutoring I've helped around 50 students individually and have developed different teaching styles to suit different students. I am aware that each person learns material in a different manner so the teaching style must be adapted to suit thei

Every child can learn! I believe that all children learn in different ways and it is a teacher or tutors obligation to find the way each child learns best. My goal with every student I work with is to get them excited about learning and exciting about wanting to know more. I am a patient, energetic and enthusiastic person who enjoys working with children. If a child is given the appropriate help then they will succeed. I had wonderful teachers growing up that helped me learn and I want to be that person for the next generation. I have worked almost continuously at Wichita Collegiate School over the last 8-9 years. During high school I worked in the Early Childhood after-school program and summer programs. Since graduating from Colorado State University I have substituted in multiple age groups and for a variety of course work areas. In addition, I have received an Associates De

I actually started tutoring while I was still in college, helping out one of the science/math teachers, and proctoring classes when she needed me to. I have a BS in Natural Science with a biology emphasis, from which I've gained knowledge in most areas of science and math. Besides helping to teach in college, I also was a tutor for three years, in several subjects including Chemistry, Algebra, Calculus I and II, Physics, and more. I also was a member of the English Honor Society, where I proof-read papers for students once a week. Since I have tutored for several years, I've found that every person learns slightly differently. The key to how I teach is to figure out how that person best learns. There is no such thing as a stupid person, just one who hasn't been taught in a way that they can understand yet. I am a firm believer in never giving up on someone, particularly when I know that

The past four years, I have had experience with a diverse population of students working in the Wichita Public School District. In the classroom, I teach and coach students on all subjects, including: Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, P.E. and Computer Technology. I have held tutoring sessions after school with young students as well as grown adults. At the University of Kansas, I earned a Bachelor of Science in Journalism from the William Allen White School of Journalism. I also served a year of AmeriCorps where I participated in a variety of community service projects. When I am teaching a subject, I attempt to pinpoint exactly where the pupil is misunderstanding the content. Then, I explain to the student in a way I believe will come across more natural. I truly believe in the variety of learning styles that all people possess. I believe they should be consid

Teaching, in some form, has been a part of my life for the last 20 years. During that time I discovered for myself that students learn in different ways. I believe in a positive and encouraging teaching style utlizing varying explanations. I love instructing one on one and seeing the lightbulb turn on when a student gets it. I am reliable, easy going, and eager to make a difference in lives, one at a time. After obtaining a BA in Business Ad, becoming a CPA, and working ten years as an accountant/auditor, I focused my skills towards teaching. I taught accounting and business math 4 yrs at a business college and community college. In addition I have used extensive grammatical skills in writing audit reports and business letters. I also have many years volunteering in various children's programs. Most recently is five years as Children's Teacher/Supervisor of a weekly preschool pro

I believe that you cannot do everything for the student. You have to find their learning style and then develop upon that to be able to open the door to learning of the subjects. There is no such thing as a good teacher with out a learning student. I have graduated from Wichita State with a BA of General Studies with a minor in chemistry, biology, physics, and sociology. I have helped high school students and college students in math and science courses.

I have a bachelor degree in Business Administration. I have only tutored friends, family, and children at the Harbor House/Catholic Charities domestic abuse shelter. I am a very good writer and also good with children. I enjoy children and I am thrilled to be a part of their success. I believe that if one believes in a child then the child will realize this and also believe in him or herself. If one makes learning fun and exciting then the child will be encouraged and want to learn instead of seeing it as a difficult task. The children are our future and I hope to continue to be a part in the success of our future by inspiring children to become all that they can be in life and to help them to realize that they can make a difference.
