Friendly, personable, approachable, enthused, astute, fun, active I am a recent graduate of the University of California at Davis. I graduated with a B.S. in Biological Sciences with an emphasis in marine biology. I am familiar with a myriad of lab techniques and protocol, and proficient in all levels of computer programs (word,excel,outlook,powerpoint,etc.). Prior to moving to San Diego, I interned for the Bodega Bay Marine Lab, under the supervision of the Aquatic Resource Group (ARG) for two year. My daily duties consisted of, but were not limited to: field research and collection, lab research, lab maintenance, construction of novel aquaculture paradigms, input for design of new research techniques, and overseer of organism welfare (feeding, tank cleaning, transportation). Though my specialties are in marine biology, I am grounded in all fields of sciences due to my cou

I have experience teaching and tutoring at various levels and locations, including several countries. Am flexible as to learning materials and methods depending on your time, availability, budget and resources. My main concern is how YOU can learn and retain better. Each student must understand (before integrating) their own strengths and weaknesses into their study skills and become a systematic achiever. I will assist and teach you how to empower yourself in the chosen topics. You will gain confidence in what you know (where you can excel), who you are (what drives you), what you really want (what profession/path/trade inspires you), and how to get where you want to be by creating and implementing a step to step plan to your goal(s)/success.

I have been a credentialed teacher for 4 years. I work primarily with students with moderate/severe disabilities. Previously, I was a teacher's aid, tutor and daycare worker. I am credentialed in both general education and special education. I have experience working with a wide variety of learners in all subject areas. I have worked with students who are simply trying to get ahead in school, students who are falling behind and need homework help, students who are about to be retained, to students who are significantly delayed and are on their own curriculum program. My special education background allows me to support all levels of students and support different learning styles. I prefer to provide students with hands on and/or visual tools during learning when possible. I like to make the educational topic meaningful and interesting to the student.

My preferred teaching style is applied learning where I encourage involvement with the lesson (ie:bringing in senses of touch, sight, smell as well as action (hikes, etc.) to capture the essence of what is being taught in addition to literature. My initial interest was terrestrial and behavioral ecology from a course in wildlife management I attended in Kenya, East Africa, with The School for Field Studies. After Kenya, the majority of my work experience and interest shifted to marine sciences, conservation and fisheries management. I started out as an intern/naturalist onboard a whale watcher where I gave guided talks to the public. Following my masters, I was a National Marine Fisheries Observer under the NMFS/NOAA office at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, collecting data for use in management of gillnet and trawl fisheries out of Gloucester, MA.

I love Mathematics and I often wear my heart on sleeve; when it comes to Math, I try to infect the student with that bug. I believe that most students have issues with their immediate teaching and, as a result, feel that math has no meaning to them, hence I teach Mathematics in a contextual manner, showing deep meaning for the drills imposed in the classroom curriculums most experience daily. I stress heuristic analysis techniques that have shown great results I have tutored HS 9-12 and undrgraduate students individually in Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology, Physics and for SAT/ACT testing since the late 1990's. I received teaching credentials for teaching 9-12 Mathematics in California in 2005. I have worked as a Math/Sciences substitute in the Grossmont Union High School District since that time. I have also worked with A+ Professional Tutoring -- in San Diego County -- and Tutor.com --

Learning is cultivated when a child’s best effort makes them successful and mistakes are seen as stepping stones towards a goal. Teachers must set high expectations for their students as well as inspire students to have high expectations of themselves. For teachers, a positive attitude is a must. Constructivist teachers engage students in experiences that bring understanding to students, rather than share their own understandings. I firmly believe that the most effective way to educate students to their highest levels, they must participate in hands-on activities which promote active involvement and problem solving. Higher order thinking skills and the ability to think critically is the key to developing thriving members of society. I have been working in the education field since my senior year of high school, where I discovered my passion in a ROP class. Since then I have earned my ele

As a graduate of the University of Colorado at Boulder in Integrative Physiology, I love learning and I love helping others learn! I find biology so incredibly fascinating and find so much satisfaction in helping others to succeed. I was a math tutor and mentor throughout high school and never formally tutored in college, but took every opportunity I could to help anyone who needed help understanding the material. I also have a strong math and chemistry. I am a very personable person that cares deeply about everyone I meet. I have more than an academic interest when I tutor, and thus really care about helping an individual in the way that they need it. I am willing to try a variety of techniques to help a student understand and know that everyone learns differently. I want to help others by making a difference for them in any way I can. I have been blessed with understanding and wo

I have a BS in biology. I have also taken the MCAT's which display a high level of knowledge of biology, chemistry, physics, math, reading comprehension, verbal expression. I have tutored students in sciences and math from middle school level all the way through college. I love to provide a challenging and inspirational environment with students. I'm very patient, use a variety of approaches to studying, and like to include life analogies and philosophies to engage the students with the material. I have found that the bringing out confidence in students and enabling them with a high level of self sufficiency is the key to their learning success, in class as well as in life.

I am a patient teacher that understands that some concepts are not easily understood and simply repeating yourself without changing your tack will not bring about understanding. Providing real world examples that are relevant to a student's interests is one powerful way to encourage learning. With regards to math and science, I've often found that abstract theoretical concepts are more difficult to understand, whereas practical examples are more easy to visualize. Whenever possible, I try to create scenarios that apply in the real world so that the student can understand and apply the concept in the future. I am a synthetic Organic Chemist with over 7 years of industrial experience with Pfizer Inc. During this time period I routinely shared research progress with my peers and helped educate them on new reactions, instrumentation, techniques and methodology. During my studies at Kala

I believe I am a very patient, outgoing person, which suits me well as a tutor. I feel I am a good listener and have a strong grasp on my student's needs and areas of weakness, which allows me to help in the best way possible. In my professional career with The Boeing Company I have work in many training sessions when implementing new systems and policies across the organization. This experience has proven invaluable and has enhanced my skillset as a tutor. I have a BS in Supply Chain Management from Arizona State University, and have been pursuing a Biochemistry degree from the University of San Diego with an expected completion date of May 2012. During my studies I have become very knowledgeable in the sciences, particularly Biology, Chemistry, and Organic Chemistry.
