A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style varies, depending on what the individual student needs, but it is always driven by an enthusiasm and verve for education (particularly in science) that I have been told is infectious (not a great thing to say to a biologist, but it's the thought that counts). Learning is most effective when the learner understands the importance of the material to their interests and the world around them. As such, one of my priorities when teaching is finding the relevance of the subject to the student and examining the concepts in the student's context. I tend to shy away from rote memorization, preferring active learning techniques and exercises that develop critical thinking skills, but I am flexible, depending on the student's abilities and response.
I am an evolutionary biologist and paleontologist who has been active in the field for over a decade. I have been a profess ... read more

Patient, Results-Oriented, and Dedicated!

I use effective practices, strategies, and resources to inspire and enrich each student's learning. Direct instruction, workbooks, visual aids, computers, math manipulative, hands-on activities, mini-labs, student-centered discussions, one-on-one tutoring and small-group instruction are used to honor various learning styles, students' needs and goals, as well as to ensure they are active learners. Students participate in small-group instruction, hands-on activities, mini-labs; may use computers for further enrichment and technology-integration; analyze words and stories; make real-life applications to concepts being presented; and customize their own learning environment through student-centered and teacher-led discussions and enrichment activities while receiving caring and effective support and guidance from me!
As a person who works with various groups of people, I continuou ... read more

Read More About Cesar A...

I like teaching and tutoring students in mathematics and science. I always believe that science and mathematics require innovation and creativity to fully understand the concepts. Throughout my years of teaching and tutoring I have developed effective techniques to make an immediate in a student's learning.
I have been a mathematics and science tutor for the last ten years. As a former mathematics educator at the college level I feel that mathematics or any other science is possible to be learned and comprehended by the student through the use of real life examples. Moreover, in my time as a math and science tutor I always asked my students to devote patience and perseverance whenever they are starting to learn a new concept.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a University of Buea graduate with a bachelor of sciences degree in Chemistry and Botany I have a sound knowlege in Sciences and Mathematics. I have been a paraeducator at Mongomery County Public Schools (MCPS) Maryland for over three years, during which I established sound relationships with students and staff based on mutual trust. I have an extra 51 credit hours of study in mathematics and sciences along with lab work, American English-during which I acquired extensive gramatical skills due to writing research and essay papers in a broad domain of study.
Teaching is a passion to me and I have a sense of accomplishment when I share or give back what I have been privilleged to acquire in my studies of sciences and math. I teach by example. For instance I will know that my students have understood when they perform a return demonstration. I am a nice guy and work with my stude ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Even though I've taught college students all my life, I actually love working with children as well. I am a very patient person, and I am also compassionate and easy to get along with. I believe as a teacher I am responsible to train my students in their fields to make them competitive and knowledgeable. I do not give up when I have difficult students, I try to learn their behavior instead and work with them. The world needs good educators to make a difference in the life of the student and others around.
I have been teaching Anatomy and Physiology at Washington Adventist University, Takoma Park, MD for the past year after graduating with a masters degree from Andrews University, MI. I have a bachelors degree in Biology with a minor in mathematics. I have been teaching and tutoring since my freshman year in college. My strength is science/math which is also my passion.
