Teaching science is not about teaching facts. Science is based on theories, which evolve through the process of discovery. Thus, it is important to teach a student not what to think, but how to think. With little formal teaching experience, my philosophy draws on what I have liked in my teachers. First, and foremost, is enthusiasm. A professor who is clearly excited by the subject is more likely to spark excitement in the students. Second, it is important to relate to the students on a more personal level. This needs to occur in both directions. I believe the students need to see me as more than a teacher providing the information, but as a scientist and a person with my own views. I have had a broad interdisplinary education and a variety of work experiences related to ecology and wildlife. I have worked directly with animals and conducted complex mathematical simulation models.

A degree in Bioethics reflects the importance I place on interdisciplinary studies. As an undergraduate, I completed all of the Pre-medicine requirements with the exception of a few labs. I believe literature and philosophy to play an essential role in all our respective endeavors but found in lacking in a Biology major. Thus, I took it upon myself to develope my own major which integrated the sciences and the humanities. After college I taught as a substitute teacher and have experience working with children of all levels of intelligence and of all different backgrounds. I can provide tutoring assistance for college and graduate level courses in law and literature. I am able to provide assistance for a variety of college level courses from Biology to Philosophy. I can edit and proof graduate and college-level works for any class. Learning to write well will impress your professors and g

I love educating children and adults and strongly believe in lifelong learning. Since I have taught at several levels and even in different countries, I use different teaching techniques. My goal is to help the learner to get the best education possible. I have taught for 20+ years in Germany (mainly Math, English and Reading) and for 4 years in Kansas City, MO. There I taught all core subjects: Math, Language Arts, Science and Social Studies. Right now I have got several part time jobs: I work as a sub at a colligiate high school (all subjects), I will teach German at the Edison College in Fort Myers (Continuing Education) and I tutor for a private company doing SES tutoring - Reading and Math. I have prepared young people to do their GED, too. The subjects I did there were Math, Science and American History.

My teaching style is first of all to make all my students believe they can learn the materials. I'm patient, fair and easy going. I try to find how each student learn the best. I push my students to be the best they can. Math has always been my passion and I love to teach others. I've been a tutor since I was in High School. I received my AA at Edison college in Fort-Myers Florida in 2008. After that I went to University of Florida where I was a math tutor for a year. There, I tutored subject such as College Algebra, Trigonometry, calculus I, II and III.

Throughout my studies I have learned that all students learn differently. When teaching in a classroom, I will have to discover the way each student learns individually. An important aspect of my teaching experience has been to get down on that students level, and look at the struggles each student has in the classroom. I modify lessons in order to have each student adapt them to his or her own learning style. I believe that each student is willing to learn, but needs to discover the best learning style suitable to their abilities. As an English Education major, I have had numerous encounters in the classroom with each of my classroom practicums. After completing my degree in the fall of 2009, I will have over three semesters of classroom experience, working with students from the sixth grade to the twelfth grade. I have also worked as a childcare provider for several years, in add

At my undergraduate program, my professor for a course in Symbolic Logic asked to refer students in the class to me, if they had questions about the material. After the class had finished, the professor hired me through the university's Philosophy Department as a tutor for the same class. After graduation, I acted as a private tutor in my spare time. At Columbia University I was a Teaching Assistant for three college courses, giving me my greatest experience with explaining course material to a large group of students. I am currently working as a private tutor, with most of my clients learning college-level intermediate Algebra or Symbolic Logic. I love to interact with somebody who is curious and interested in the subject, no matter what the subject. In mathematics, I believe in a very thorough and conceptual understanding of the subject, which enhances one's ability to use the kno

I cannot say that I am set in any teaching style. I am green and haven’t exactly got a teaching style. I know through years of schooling and interacting with peers people learn differently and do better or worse depending on the teacher they have and that teachers style. I believe teaching methods in a tutorial environment need to be adaptive to the student. You’ll need to communicate with the student and feel him/her out and see how he/she learns best. I am patient and confident in my ability to be able to help others learn. My sister had a learning disability and I enjoyed helping her get through school as we grew up. I think it is essential that a student has confidence in himself/herself and believes they can do it. While I attended Auburn University and studied civil engineering I found myself enjoying group projects and helping other students get through the difficult curriculum. I

As a broadcast communication student, I worked at an aftercare/tutoring center while in college. After four years, I found that I love working with kids and helping them better understand a subject in which they first had difficulty understanding. I love to be able to make someone stronger and excel in the long run. I have tutured in math, English, writing, and many other susjects. Anything reading related that involves writing is my strongest subject. My goal is help a child discover their own academic excellence. I feel better knowing that I helped a child bring their grade average from a C to a B, or anything higher than they were earning when I first started tutoring them. I enjoy tutoring students very much.

All through school I had an advanced understanding of math and i enjoyed helping others better understand it, for the past 5 years i have been offering tutoring to those in need. I have great understanding in everything up to and including statistics, algebra II, and some calculus. I have always seen math in a different way then those around me and have always been able to help others see the problems in a different light to better understand it. I take pride in my ability to help others understand even when they believe it will be hopeless

We educate students into the discipline of their choice in order to facilitate the achievement of their goals. The students in my classroom have a dream and that is the reason they are there, to pursue that dream. As an educator, my mission is to act as the facilitator of that dream. I help my students reach the goals that they have set for themselves, usually by translating textbook knowledge into day-to-day understandable language, by turning academe into an approachable field, and by adding my own personal experiences when applicable. My job as a facilitator can be accomplished through the exercise of two different approaches: The first is the old school avenue in which the student validates his/her worth through a conventional evaluation outcome (grade). This approach I may add is the easier of the two. The second approach is one that presents education to students as an excit

Throughout my educational career, I have gained a strong foundation of knowledge in various disciplines. I hold a BA in Psychology and have also completed pre-medical requirements during my time as an undergraduate. My liberal arts background has led me to develop extensive reading, writing, and analytical skills. These skills are complemented by a solid understanding of mathematics and science. Over the past year, I have tutored students in reading, math, and science. I believe in the potential of every child and am committed to their academic achievement. Through my work with children and adults with disabilities, I have learned patience and understanding; qualities that I believe make me a strong educator. I believe in modeling a learning curriculum to meet the specific needs of a child and pride myself on finding novel ways to make education fun and interesting. The best part o
