Love the Feeling of Helping Others Achieve Their Goals!

The vast majority of my experience has been obtained throughout my time in college and my willingness to help fellow students and/or friends in a variety of studies. My studies throughout college primarily consist of the sciences, including chemistry, biology, and physics. My willingness to help others is where my want to tutor stems from.
Teaching style varies depending on the student, but I always strive to pique their interest in certain areas by relating it to their everyday experiences. I believe interactive learning is most efficient and enjoyable, including examples and activities.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have tutored with elementary, middle, and high school students in all levels of math, science, english, and social studies. I have tutored for around 3 years, and I see success with the kids that I work with because I know how to engage and effectively teach them because I was their age not too long ago!
I teach through repetition, practice, and patience. I want to help the student to the best of my ability, and will adapt to the learning style he/she finds most effective.

Bachelor of the Arts in Economics, experienced professional

I completed the pre-pharmacy undergraduate program at Maryville College, which means I have a strong base in science. Throughout my career, I have often trained colleagues in Microsoft Excel, programming simple solutions in Excel to automate processes, as well as in writing composition. I have professional experience across a broad spectrum of business.
From a family of teachers, getting concepts through to others, ones that I fully understand, is a practice that of which I find myself to be both very positive and successful.

My comments on tutoring Genetics : Genetics was one of my favorite classes as an undergraduate biochemistry major and is an area I am considering attending graduate school to study.

I believe in adapting the teaching style to suit the student's learning style. Teaching English in China, I adopted a practical stance, teaching useful words and grammar and reinforced their reading lessons. The student's learning goals and reason for seeking tutoring should dictate the teaching style, however.
I spent the last year teaching English in China. I have experience teaching ESOL, and am experienced dealing learners of English of a second language. I studied Chinese during my stint there and am willing and able to tutor beginning students of the Chinese language who want to develop functional skills in Mandarin for career or personal development. I was an A-student during my time in college and often was the leader of study groups and offered personal tutoring to students struggling in my biblical Hebrew class. I served as a teacher's assistant for General Chemistry and ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

While enrolled in Anatomy and Physiology, my professor asked if I would be interested in becoming a tutor in the class. At that moment, I felt both a strong desire to help others and the fear of letting others down. I accepted the tutoring position because my passion for learning and helping others won out. I have had several opportunities over the last few years to help my co-workers with their adult education and not only am I able to help, they always return to me when they need more help.
I try to use as many resources as are available. What I mean is, in the Anatomy and Physiology labs there were models available to look at. I’ve used molecular models in Organic Chemistry for chemical structure. Sometimes asking a question can start the process of learning. A lot of it depends on the subject matter and the student involved. I try to remain open in my efforts to help others.

More About This Tutor...

I loved the subject of biology at a very early age. However, it was my educators in high school and college that helped guide me towards a career in biology. As an undergraduate laboratory instructor, I found that one of my strengths included passing on difficult knowledge in an easy to understand way. Teaching an introductory to biology laboratory helped me gain new approaches to instruction because all of the students were non-biology majors and did not have a background in science. My goal as an instructor is to make the sciences a fun learning experience, and one that it is easily understood.
As an undergraduate, I taught a cell biology laboratory and an introduction to biology laboratory. As a laboratory instructor, I learned appropriate ways to teach the subject of biology and to test students' knowledge of biology. My background in the sciences and my courses in commun ... read more

I am a firm believer that strict memorization does not allow the student to broaden their ability to solve problems of various flavors. I encourage the student to understand the concepts to avoid tedious memorization. Additionally I believe children learn best in an environment where they do not feel intimidated or nervous. I believe by working closely with the student and making learning fun I can help the student avoid becoming discouraged. This helps to prevent the chain reaction of test failures. It also prevents the student from giving up on the subject.
I am a seasoned adjunct instructor and tutor at the introductory level at a Community College. I have taught a graduate level Chemistry course at a Masters granting College. My education includes a M.S. Polymer Chemistry/Science, B.S. in Biology and 46 Credits of Chemistry . More importantly I have worked as ... read more

I am a recent graduate with a Bachelor's degree in biology and chemistry followed by a Master's degree in plant pathology and have a passion for biology, math, and statistics. I have had lifelong leadership experience working with children ages 9 through 18, first as a camp counselor in high school and later as a tutor in biology, chemistry, basic math, and algebra. Several years into a research oriented academic career I began to miss teaching opportunities and have since sought a career change that will allow me to teach others.
I believe that each person should strive to find their calling in life and that a good education provides opportunity for each one to explore their individual passions and talents. It is through individual instruction tailored to the needs of each person that students are able to succeed. My goal is to guide students through aspects of the curriculum with ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

While completing my undergraduate degree in Chemical Engineering at University of Idaho, I was often called upon to tutor people within the building where I lived during college. I also was employed by the University to grade papers and offer assistance to underclassmen in the Chemical Engineering department. From this experience, I have gained both the knowledge in math and science and the understanding of how to use different approaches with different people to deliver the lesson. I have tutored in English, math and science.
I believe learning is about confidence. I have seen numerous students doing poorly in courses because they were convinced that they were not capable of learning the subject matter. Small successes help to build confidence in order to move on to the subsequent challenges. I believe in starting with the basics, and making sure that the students truly gras ... read more

I have had extensive and varied work experience in both field and laboratory-based biology: I have worked as both an environmental and zoological researcher, and in the fields of genetics, microbiology and botany. My bachelor's degree in biology has focused primarily on organismal and environmental sciences, but I am well-versed in a suite of other subjects, not only among the life sciences. Copious writing assignments during my college career, along with regular consultation of published scientific literature, has versed me in the understanding of research approaches, along with a knowledge of the standards expected in any scientific endeavor. Beyond this, I simply love science, and enjoy passing along this enthusiasm to others.
What I have learned in my tutoring experience is that every individual has their own learning style - thus, I work with those tutored to find what means ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy teaching science and strive to teach my students to be able to think for themselves. I try to gear my lessons so that my students are not only able to recall the material, but able to use it. I am an easygoing teacher who aims to make the lessons fun, so that they will be enjoyed.
I have a bachelors degree in chemistry and took graduate level biochemistry classes for three years. I have taught general chemistry both as an undergraduate and a graduate student. I have two years of teaching experience, including teaching middle school sceinece, high school biology, chemistry and physics at a private school. In my spare time I like to write fiction, so in addition to writing on technical subjects, I have experience with creative writing.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe in inquiry based learning, or teaching any subject by incorporating the student's natural curiosity and drawing connections to their interests. I don't taking a long time to teach a student how to approach a single problem or concept and foster their understanding of the material so that they will understand how to approach the problem on their own. In other words, I put energy into explaining why they should do something so that they can reason through it themselves in a test situation.
I am currently a PhD candidate in Ecology at the University of Tennessee Knoxville. Throughout my education and short career I have developed teaching skills through tutoring, teaching labs to middle school students, mentoring high school students and giving informational talks on environmental issues to the public. I enjoy teaching and I feel that I have a gift for explaining science and ... read more

I find that there is something fascinating that we encounter on a daily basis. I enjoy bringing those events to light, and fostering student interest in the world around us. Whether it is a physical phenomenon, an inquiry into a scientific question, or a piece of literature, I believe that the relationship that is developed between the material and the learner is the tool through which real learning occurs. It is my goal to garner curiosity, present knowledge and provide insight so that students may govern their own thought process to learning. I believe that this is what leads to true education, and not simply the memorization of facts.
Since a child, I have always been curious of the world around me. My interests culminated with the completion of two degrees in the natural sciences. I consider myself a true inter-disciplinarian, supplementing both my degrees with courses in appli ... read more
