I have recently passed the Biology Praxis exam and the General Science exam. I love the field of Biology and love teaching biology. I have been homeschooling my children and many other home schoolers and would love to fire up your child with the knowledge and love I have for this field of study.I will help your child understand the basics first and then we will move on to the details.They will get it when I'm finished--taking the time is the key.
My philosophy is every child can be an A student they just need to believe in themselves.I love getting kids to love the subject and actually understand it.

A Little Bit About Me...

I entered college in my late twenties and have been involved in some aspect of learning ever since. I was able to complete my BA in Psychology and Religion as Cum Laude and my MA in Counseling Psychology with a similar GPA. Since graduating I have had the opportunity to work with children and adolescents in a counseling capacity which often mirrors mentoring, teaching and leading. I obviously have experience in psychology and religion. As well, I have extensive experience in writing for my career, assessments, treatment plans, progress notes, etc, and in school with the many research papers, summaries, reviews, etc. This has allowed me to hone my grammatical skills, comprehension and analytical skills.
My experience working with children is in the area of those with mental health issues, most of which have learning disabilities as well. I love my work and I love children. I ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I really enjoy working with children with various learning styles and abilities. I'm a patient, open-minded, empathic listener whose focus is the development of your child's potential. I strongly believe that building self-confidence is vital for each individual. By being self-confident, one is more sure of himself, and can gain a higher sense of self-esteem. By being taught through positive motivation, teachings, and feedback, each student will become more self-confident and have a positive attitude with any situation he or she may encounter.
I recently completed my thirteenth year of full-time teaching in the state of Michigan. I taught all subjects at the sixth grade level for eleven years for a public school. I've also taught all subjects at the fourth grade level, along with third grade social studies, for a Catholic school. Along with years of experience teaching ... read more

It is my passion to teach children. I believe every child can learn, but it is up to the teacher to discover each individual's learning style. The teacher needs to create the appropriate atmosphere and experiences for each student. I focus on the individual in my classroom. I want students to feel like they have freedom where they can ask their own questions, conduct their own inquiries, and draw their own conclusions. It is the teacher's job to guide the students and have the students problem solve to make their own discoveries.
As an undergraduate at the University of Pittsburgh, I have many experiences working with and teaching children. I have earned my bachelor degree in Applied Developmental Psychology where I completed many practicums. I tutored first grade at Manchester Academy and I also tutored Kindergarten at Hilltop Community Children's Center. As a graduate, I student ... read more

I believe that children learn best through continual interaction, repetition and positive re-enforcement. I enjoy teaching across all subject matter and believe that practice and hard work produces the best results. Every child is a unique individual with a history of different influences that developed their specific learning abilities. I believe an effective teacher will strive to discover those keys to unlock each students potential to exceed. All students can excel when provided with the correct learning tools and positive interactive secessions. I strive to always project a can-do attitude in order to bring out the best qualities and knowledge in each of my students.

More About This Tutor...

I started my undergraduate studies in medical technology and biology and later changed my major and graduated with a BS in business management. I further my education and have completed half of the requirements toward an MBA in pharmaceutical chemical studies. During the last 17 years I have been involved in pharmaceutical sales and sales management. In these roles I have had to mentor and teach representatives daily. I have also had to teach medical professionals technical information. I understand the requirements involved in successful tutoring as I tutored during the summer while completing my undergraduate degree.
Having been in the sales field for over 17 years I understand that everyone learns differently. In order to be a successful teacher/tutor I believe you must first understand how someone processes information. After understanding that you can then move onto to ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy meeting new students who have trouble learning math and seeing themselves light up after a session or two of tutoring. I believe in the discovery method of learning and questioning to have the student aware of where he/she is having difficulty with math. Then we work from there and the needs of the student so the student can succeed. With the help of strategies all students can succeed in math and I strive to help each one do the best of his/her ability. I believe I do make a difference in the lives of the students I tutor.
I have just retired from teaching math at the middle school level and an adjunct math instructor at the college level for 35 years. I have tutored the past 5 years of my career privately and with students with disabilities at Centenary College, Hackettstown, NJ. With all this experience and knowledge about teaching various levels, a professor at Berk ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

When teaching or tutoring a student I have found that there are several factors in how it should be approached. The most important of the factors are the subject matter and the students learning style. The learning style of the student has to be considered when teaching. Helping a student learn requires finding the most effective method. You want to make sure they understand the subject matter while exposing them to other possible ways to approach difficult problems. You can provide tools not only for the problems they are having but preparing them to handle future difficulties. Teaching can be rewarding as you help the student help themselves by discovering their own strength and weakness as well as was to improve.

I loved working with the students in the Mission Acceptance program. I worked as a team leader, so I had the opportunity to work with a group of fellow mentors as well as students, which provided me experience with a variety of different students. I learned that each student has his or her own path to understanding the material and needs to be approached in a unique way. I find that in order to bring out the best in each student, one must understand how he or she receives information and plan accordingly.
I earned my BS in physics and spent over a year working on medical device research. As an undergraduate at the University of Pittsburgh I spent some time in the Physics Undergraduate Lab helping students in the introductory courses. I also spent time as a Team Leader for Mission Acceptance, a program that pairs successful college students with local high school students and provid ... read more

Being exposed and working at different school districts and states allowed me to learn different styles, therefore, I was able to evaluate what works and adapt the techniques to my own style. Education allowed me to learn techniques and I do claim that I was successful leading a classroom and learning was achieved by my studens. I do believe that education is always open for improvement. I learned teaching and assessment techniques and I learned to modify teaching style according to students needs.

As a teacher there is nothing more rewarding than the look on a child's face when a skill is mastered or a mystery becomes an understood concept. This is what attracted me to the field of education and what has kept me here. I am also fully aware that each student does not reach this level of mastery by following the same path. I believe one of my greatest strengths as a teacher is to be able to change this path for each student. I am aware of the different ways children learn, and seek to incorporate examples of these learning styles into each lesson. I also know it is important to keep the learning at a level that ensures success to foster confidence while providing enough of a challenge to keep the student's interest.

A Little Bit About Me...

Thirty-three years of teaching experience in not only the same school district, but the same school, has allowed me to finely hone my craft. My first 20 years were spent working with sixth-ninth graders in a middle school business classroom, enjoying the yearly curriculum changes in technology. My Master's focused on elementary education, and the opportunity to teach sixth grade Social Studies and Reading/Language Arts led to continued tutoring of students in all subjects. In addition, my role as Student Council advisor meshes my school/community leadership skills with those within the classroom walls.
I always begin a class with in upbeat, fun atmosphere. I sometimes have powerful, familiar music playing when my students walk into the classroom. (Other students walking by in the hall frequently stop by to see what's going on!) I have a collection of toys and noisemakers that ... read more
