My comments on tutoring Earth Science : Strong interest in geology, weather, and plate tectonics.

A skilled writer and counselor, passionate about exploring cultural diversity, willing to reach out to those in need however possible, whether through written word or individual counseling. A dynamic team leader and team member, skilled in negotiation and people management, with strong interpersonal skills and a positive work ethic; an independent thinker and problem solver with creative ideas; proven ability to adapt to changing cultural and professional environments.
I use the didactic teaching style, trying to keep teaching/education engaging and fun. Rather than talking AT the student, I explore WITH the student the subject at hand. Sometimes the round-about way is the most direct way to solve the problem.

As a student, I was able to travel Europe, complete four internships within the industry, serve as an interpreter during international business negotiations and work as a graphic design assistant at the university. These experiences helped me to develop good time-management skills. In addition, I enhanced my ability to think creatively and work effectively under pressure. I possess a strong work ethic, solid organizational and managerial skills, and the ability to create a dynamic team environment. I was the winner of various academic awards in the field of Russian language and literature studies, and also possess some Russian tutoring experience.
I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am available to help your child find academic success. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the ... read more

I have a wide variety of experience and an innate desire to learn more about the world around me. I began my undergraduate degree in Political Science, but after taking a Biology course in California, became rather excited about the sciences. I have worked in a variety of laboratory settings, as well as in the field, applying the science that I have learned to real life situations and truly gaining a better understanding of the dynamic nature of the sciences. This is what I love. From reading the latest National Geographic to listening to Science Friday on NPR, the never-ending potential of science today excites me and certainly makes me a more dynamic, animated instructor.
My teaching style is very adaptive and enthusiastic, stemming from a genuine love of the material. I enjoy getting students excited about science and the endless potentials that may be found within the scie ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

During my undergraduate work at Florida State University I had the opportunity to spend many hours over the course of two years working in elementary schools with children. I have taught and helped tutor in all elementary subjects. My main internship was in a first grade classroom. I have always enjoyed working with children and seeing the light of understanding in their eyes.
I try and find the style in which the child learns best. Many children just need help getting to where they want to go. I don't believe in ever just giving a child answers. You as teacher or tutor should lead them in the path of understanding and ask leading questions to get them to go in the right direction for the answers. Children should be able to explore their world and not be resigned to worksheets and rote answers. Learning should be a fun experience that everyone enjoys.
