Learning as an Individual, Believing in Your Value

Discovery with emphasis on individual learning style - for instance tactical or visual instead of instructional - also have worked with kids who have emotional issues or self image issues that hold them back from learning - interested in working with kids who are in need of a someone who sees them as an individual
Have worked with elementary age children and have tutored/mentored in the workplace. With many years of work experience with employees of varying skill levels, I understand what it takes to be a valued contributor and understand that students learn in very different ways. Creating a relationship with information that is meaningful to the student is the best way to help them learn a concept or process. Most learning focuses on information assimilation while I focus on applying the concept or process to a real work situation that has meaning to the student.

Marine Biology is one of my top subjects! I have a Master's Degree in Marine Biology and have conducted independent research projects in this field.

I successfully completed a B.S. in Marine Biology from the College of Charleston in 2004. During my undergraduate career I was able to participate in a research cruise at sea and conduct independent research. I later worked for the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, Marine Resources Division, conducting research in a variety of fields including mariculture and stock enhancement. In 2006 I began the graduate program in Marine Biology at the College of Charleston. While there, I taught two semesters of Molecular Biology Lab as a Teaching Assistant. Currently, I am a Research Analyst at Duke University in the Neurobiology Department. Part of my responsibilities include teaching concepts and lab techniques to undergraduate work-study students. My real-world research experience has given me a great appreciation for the importance of understanding the fundamentals of scienc ... read more

I love to teach, it is my passion in life. Every student has intelligence and every student is a genius in one subject or another in school. Any and all students can learn you just have to apply the material to them that fits their particular interests. I try to stay up to date on all the new trends and fads that kids are into in order to stay fresh and up to date with them and apply all my knowledge in science and in other subjects to fit them specifically. I have no one set way to teach any level of student because each person and group dynamic is much different than the next. I try to adapt all my lessons to fit all the learning styles (visual, auditory, hands-on, etc). I have plenty of experience teaching special needs students so I adapt my lesson plans to fit their particular learning styles as well. I try to be an educator rather than a teacher because students will remembe ... read more

I love to teach and share knowledge with others. While I have never formally been a tutor before, I have been a mentor, coach and teacher within the various organizations where I have worked and have always been known as the person to go to with questions because I will always take the time to explain things in a way that makes them easy to grasp. I am down to earth and easy to talk to. I love children, and young adults and their passion for living and learning and I love to find interesting ways to explain complex theories and problems. I know that each person learns differently and I strive to find which methods work best. I am patient yet believe in challenging students to keep their interest and build self-esteem.

Building a healthy relationship in a friendly learning environment where students feels comfortable and not intimated is essential to reducing anxieties, thereby allowing the student to express themselves and think freely, without pressure.I understand patience and tone of voice is vital to teaching critical thinking skills and strategies needed to perform the most challenging equations. I have experienced that if a student spends time talking their way through problems, they develop a better understanding of the process of problem solving. I ultimately understand that building self confidence provides a child with the self-assurance to learn independently, and develop a love and passion for learning all things

I have had almost 10 years of experience tutoring students at the elementary, middle and high school level in teaching math and science. Before this, I went to local Wake County Public Schools to demonstrate science subjects such as ocean waves, ground water pumping, nutrient contamination and water quality in fresh water lakes. Finally, I was a hydrologist, geologist, and geophysicist for the U.S. Geological Survey for over 30 years before I retired. During my tour with the U.S. Geological Survey I authored 18 journal articles and publications.
I have a high regard for all students and believe that if they want to learn, I will find a way to teach them what they want to know. I am patient with students and will try various approaches to teach these students. I realize not all students learn the same way.

Coming from the influence of a family of educators, I realized early on my affinity towards teaching. In addition to my college degrees, I have been very involved in the 'summer camp' experience. Over six summers, I worked with two summer camps to teach various physical and academic curricula to grade groups K-5, 6-8, 9-12. In graduate school, I was given the opportunity to spearhead a class of undergraduates, splitting lecture time with the professor. I am currently writing my thesis (under review of faculty) to be published on the "Architectural History of NC State University and the Areas Surrounding" it. During my time in university, I have tutored students in chemistry, astronomy, English, grammar, Spanish, math, history and several other general education elements.
I believe that information accessibility should be emphasized and placed in bold. I would consider my style pers ... read more

I have a biology degree in pre-medicine, and became a lab technician at Duke hospital. I love science and have always been interested with every aspect of science since I was young. I love learning more about schience as I have worked in the medical frield since 2007. I have tutored students a summer camps for a year. I love working with children and I have a passion to become a pediatrician in the future.
I love hands on demonstration, where the student is tentive to the subject. I believe in the student reading to become familiar with the work and able to understand the work himself. I want all children to be able to find a passion in what they love and strive in that direction.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been tutoring since I was 13 years old. Parents of my peers always approached me to teach their son or daughter. After I completed high school with a 4.0 GPA I was hired at a professional tutoring school. There I worked for nearly 10 years with a loyal student base many of whom I taught the entire time. I taught kids from when they were in elementary school all the way until high school. Some students were ineligible to go to normal school so I was their only teacher for years. In that time I managed to get these students up to 4 years ahead in certain subjects like math and science. I've also taught students that could not even speak english when they came to me and in a short amount of time they were fluent.
Teaching to me is about relating the information to the students in a way they can understand. It is very important to make the material relevant to their live ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a staff accountant for a large, global corporation (sales revenue approx. $250 million/yr) I have very much experience in all areas of finance and accounting. I specialize in journal entry writing and reconciliations. I reconcile both bank account statements and account balances with my master bank reconciliation having approximately $40 million debits and credits monthly.
I love teaching and showing people how easy accounting can be and how much it helps you in real life situations. Most students get overwhelmed easily with double entry accrual accounting. I find it best to relate the material directly to the students personal life purchase and income habits. This way they can have a hands on approach and hopefully find the rules easy and helpful in daily financial situations.
