I like to use an interactive teaching style in which there is lots of discussion between teacher and student. This provides immediate feedback on the student's understanding, enabling me to adapt the teaching session to provide the most benefit. I love biology and teach with enthusiasm. I believe all students can learn and perform well if they are given the opportunity to become interested, to ask questions without fear, and get clear explanations in multiple formats until they understand. I also feel poor grades are often due to poor testing skills rather than lack of knowledge. This is easily fixed with practice and opportunity to develop confidence in your abilities, at which point testing becomes fun rather than frightening. I have degrees in a wide variety of scientific fields including a BS in zoology, a BA in chemistry, an MS in ethnobotany, and a PhD in physiology and development

As a tutor I strive to focus on the needs of each individual student. I find great fulfillment in getting to know each student on a personal basis, which allows me to develop trust and mutual respect. One of the most effective ways of encouraging learning is to ask questions. In doing so, I promote the development of critical thinking, which ultimately benefits the student the most in the long run. It is very rewarding when the student arrives at the answer on his or her own, and thereby increases his or her self esteem. I do my best to create a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere by exhibiting patience, compassion, and positivity. I also do my best to convey my passion for the subject in order to motivate learning. As a Biology student at Brigham Young University I was hired to be a tutor in the Life Sciences Learning Center. I tutored college students with a focus on introductory

I love learning and feel that all types of learning and knowledge increase our ability to more fully appreciate the beauties of life. When tutoring, I do what I can to instill this love of learning in those around me through patience and gentle motivation. My experience teaching and tutoring a variety of subjects and age groups has taught me to adapt my own tutoring methods to the learning styles and abilities of individual students. While pursuing my own studies in college, I realized that I not only love learning but that I love to increase learning in others as well. Because of this, I spent many hours throughout college volunteering to tutor calculus and chemistry students. During my last two years of college, I worked as a chemistry teaching assistant, a position that allowed me to teach chemistry to groups of 25 college students. As evidence of my effectiveness and clarity in

I enjoy teaching and I have taught all grades and various subjects during my time as a substitute teacher. I think it is important for students to ask questions. This is important for them to be able to learn effectively. I think science is important for students to be able to learn how to think analytically and to develop a curiosity of the world around them. I have a degree in Microbiology and a minor in Chemistry. I enjoy teaching and I have worked as a substitute teacher for two years. I am also fluent in portuguese and I have taught english to non-native people. I have several years of laboratory experience which I believe enables me to teach children real world examples of how science works. I believe this also can prepare them to think analytically.

While a Biological Sciences major at Brigham Young University Idaho I took several different math courses that were above and beyond those required for my degree. I excelled at each of the classes that I took, and was actually recruited by my calculus teacher to become a statistics and calculus tutor at the university math lab. I worked for 4 consecutive semester there teaching everything up to, and including, Calculus 2 and statistics 2. My teaching style is actually very fluid and relates specifically to the people that I am currently teaching. Every person learns differently, as such, a wide range of teaching styles is required to teach a wide range of people. As a tutor, I was able to develop my teaching skills in a wide range of areas (including: analogies, step/progression, fundamental-based teaching and increasingly narrowed focus) that have helped me teach many different people w

My teaching style is flexible depending upon the needs of my student(s). Some students have disabilities that make drilling or repetition styles of teaching and tutoring difficult and tiresome, while other thrive on it. Others need hands on learning opportunities and problems to work through on their own. Regardless of the student’s need, I am a tenacious teacher. If one method does not seem to be working, I will keep trying until I find the right method for the student I am teaching or tutoring. Throughout my undergraduate studies at BYU, I taught and tutored in Spanish for up 24 hours each week. I supervised 5 districts of students, 10 teachers and up to 65 students at one time, while still teaching in the classroom. Additionally, I graded papers for college-level business courses for several years. As part of this experience, I provided feedback on writing, grammar, and content. I

My teaching style begins with understanding the level of each student's knowledge and learning approach. During my college years I participated in many tutorial sessions realizing that it could provide instructional help as well as social interaction with other motivated students. I believe that tutoring helps a student become more involved in his/her studies, creating a greater interest and a more enduring impact. I can teach very detailed, down to the fundamentals, or using simple examples. The best part about teaching is watching as the students "get it." At the University of California, Irvine I completed my degree in Economics with a minor in Spanish. Additionally I took the necessary courses for medical school. I have completed Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physics, and several Biology courses. I also took the Medical College Admissions Test. I have tutored students in thei

I have earned my BS in Biology from Westminster College. I am currently applying to veterinary schools to become an equine veterinarian. This path has led me to master the basic sciences, including biology, chemistry and physics, as well as to gain a solid background in mathematics through calculus and statistics. During the last four years I have tutored high school students in math and the sciences. I am an avid reader and excelled in my SAT and GRE Verbal and Reading Comprehension sections. I have a solid understanding of the test taking techniques that will help students excel at standardized tests. My extensive experience teaching horseback riding has also taught me how to work with children and young adults as an effective teacher. I graduated from a small, hands-on high school that focused on experiential learning. This coupled with my time at a small liberal arts college dedicat

My approach to teaching is an interactive one. Although I teach at the college level which tends to be more of a lecture environment, I try to bring in current events and real life examples of science in action and get a dialogue initiated with students to help them understand the relevance of science in their day to day lives. I think the Socratic method of self-discovery is one of the most effective ways to convey the process of discovery in science and the dynamic nature of the field. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing a student reach a level of understanding that they never thought possible. I completed my bachelors of science in biology from Mesa State College, after which I went on to receive my masters degree in evolutionary biology from The University of Texas at Arlington. I then pursued a Ph.D from Brigham Young University. Although I completed all my coursework

I was in the top 10% of my class at an elite college preparatory school and earned a BA in Economics from the University of Chicago. This has exposed me to great teachers and a variety of different teaching styles. I studied cello and piano formally for 7 and 10 years, respectively, and taught cello for 2 years. In high school I taught Adult English-as-a-Second Language classes for 2 years. I've also taught skiing and guided young children in after school art and literature programs for several years. My diverse education and experiences have led to my deep understanding of art, literature, history, math, science, and business. I have written numerous essays on art and literature, research papers, lab reports, and analytical reports. My rigorous education has given me substantial insight into the "total package" needed to learn and succeed at a high level. The ability to learn mat
