I have also taught in a more informal environment at the Great Lakes Science Center, where I ran science day camps for grades 2-8. Also played varsity football in college, which I would be more than happy to tutor in as well. I graduated from Oberlin College in 2012 where I majored in Biology. Coursework included genetics, evolution, ecology, molecular biology, vertebrate structure and function, physiology, neuroscience, neurophysiology, ancient egyptian culture, human origins, economics, ancient greek and roman history, american history, calculus, and statistics.

Interactive and personal. As I work with my students I try and best understand what ways they enjoy working and learning so that I can make those a priority when developing lessons and activities. I've worked extensively while attending college tutoring both as a volunteer in public schools and as a personal tutor. While tutoring in a public school setting I worked both with individual students and small groups in math and science classrooms. I am a registered and licensed Life Science Educator through the university I attended and additionally I am a registered and licensed Environmental Educator through an independent program with the state of Ohio. My hours are flexible as is the subject I can assist with. I am fully trained in educating students between grades 7-12 in both Life Science (Biology, Physiology, Anatomy, Zoology) and Earth Science (Environmental, Geological). Once I am

I really enjoy what I do each day in the classroom and I love to tutor even more! Tutoring allows me to teach more one-on-one and spend the extra time that students need to learn. I believe in pushing students, but also using positive reinforcement and enjoying the "ah-ha" moments! I set the bar high for my students but am there to assist and guide them every step of the way. I am a very caring, kind, and laid-back teacher and tutor. This is not to say that I don't have high expectations, I certainly do, but I believe that students need to be themselves when they are learning. I think that my students can see that I genuinely care about them and their academic successes, giving them the right attitude towards success! I am a certified teacher and an experienced tutor. I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Elementary Education and have experience in tutoring students of all ages. I

I enjoy teaching children of all ages. I believe that all children have the ability to learn even the toughest of subjects if they have the desire to learn and the proper tools to succeed. My goal is to provide the best learning experience possible by making the material fun and remaining patient while giving encouragement. Graduating, Cum Laude, from the University of New Haven has enabled me the opportunity to work as a Forensic Scientist with the State of Ohio, Bureau of Criminal Investigation and Identification for the past six years. Holding a BS in Forensic Science, I have strong understanding of biology, chemistry, and mathematics. Additionally, while attending the University I worked as a science and math tutor as well as a peer mentor in chemistry.

As a great advocate of education, I aim to offer my students with the best learning experience possible. For that reason, while tutoring in college, I started reading and learning about the many teaching styles used in schools. This helped me find my own teaching style that focuses on each student individually. I try to mix several teaching styles in order for the student to understand and feel comfortable with the material. However, based on my own personal experiences, the teaching style that provided the best results to my students was the demonstrator teaching style. I use audio, video, role playing, personal experiences, class discussions, brainstorming, critical thinking, and other direct observations to allow students to use all their senses in their learning experience. I try to plan my lessons and educational activities in a manner that tends to simplify and clearly represent th

Learning is always easier when it is fun and interesting. In any given teaching situation I look for ways to add zest to learning. At the outset of tutoring I do an assessment of where students are currently achieving in a specific subject area, and identify skills that they may be lacking. Next, I develop a learning plan with specific goals. This becomes the basis for a learning contract between myself and the person seeking tutoring. Learning is best achieved in an interactive teaching style where students are encouraged to ask questions and participate in problem solving. I am a patient person who believes that all students can successfully learn. My undergraduate years at Princeton University instilled in me a passion for learning and a personal commitment to academic excellence. Most of my adult work life has been focused on coaching individuals to overcome handicaps and maximize t

With my level of collegiate expertise, I have always been the go to person when a question arose from friends, family, or other fellow classmates concerning help with an assignment. Having a bachelor’s degree in Information Technology Systems and an MBA in Executive Business Administration allows me to be pretty versatile when it comes to education related questions. I helped a friend with some high school and collegiate mathematics to graduate high school and assimilate into college. The duration of my assistance lasted a little over a year. I love helping others!! I feel that if an individual loves to help, aide, and teach others then the ability to teach comes naturally. I am patient, easy going, and willing to do what it takes to make sure that all concepts are understood before attempting to move forward.

My teaching philosophy revolves around individual student needs. I understand that all students learn differently and sometimes teaching to "the middle" that is common in many educational system is just not effective for every student. I spend a lot of time talking to the student and observing them to figure out how best to help them. In this way, I am able to provide the best educational experience possible for every student. I began tutoring as a high school student for the Wayne State University Math Corps. I tutored students entering the 7th and 8th grade in math topics ranging from basic math to calculus. I continued tutoring at the University of Michigan in the Sweetland Writing Center, helping college students draft and revise essays for a variety of subjects. I also spent a summer in Honduras teaching English to elementary students ranging from grade K-5. In this setting I was in

I earned my BS in Early Childhood Education in 2004 and became certified to teach in the State of Ohio. I have been teaching for five years, my most recent experience as a long term Reading (grades 6-8) substitute for two years in Cleveland. I have tutored the past two years for Knowledge College in Cleveland. Tutoring was in Reading and Math. When I taught lower grades it was all subject areas. I have wanted to be a teacher since I was a child. I started preparing materials and purchasing supplies as a teenager. I am very passionate about my work. I know that every child is capable of learning. I use a variety of teaching strategies because children learn in a variety of ways. I try to be very "hands-on" when possible. To me, there is nothing greater than the intrinsic rewards that the teaching field offers.
