Spanish, Biology, Chemistry and sciences tutor

First, I analyze my students to determine their learning style. Based on that, I customize my lessons to fit each individual student's needs. I commonly use visual tools such as colorful drawings and try to connect the material to real world situations.
I majored in Biochemistry and Pharmacology at the UNAM in Mexico City. Along with extensive coursework in Biology, Micro Biology, Chemistry, and related subjects, I also worked extensively in the lab conducting experiments connected with these subject areas. I can also tutor Spanish since it is my native language. I have great references from students I am currently working with.

Significant practical experience in the hard sciences as a molecular biologist as well as over twenty years of multidisciplinary aviation experience. I have tutored elementary through college-age youth and take pride in helping people grasp how and why things work - not just preparing them for a test. Building a solid foundation of understanding is crucial to future successess, so I focus on that.

Individual & Group Tutoring. Project-Based Enrichment

I have extensive experience as a k-12 and adult teacher of all subjects (excepting advanced math and science) and as a teacher of technology to all ages, including technophobes:) I offer specific subject tutoring, as well as project-based enrichment programs tailored to a student's interest. My experience is wide-ranging. I have taught home school groups in mixed age groups, created a wilderness eco-learning program in Hawaii, and managed a computer lab for middle/high school students that also trained teachers and developed technology-based curriculum. I love to teach:)

I believe in using all the resources available in order to be an effective teacher. Each student is individual and requires a different approach to learning. I believe it is imperative to address all the learing styles of your students. The key to teaching is the ability to interpret your students and tailor your teaching style to meet their needs.
I have worked within schools for the past six years. I also completed two student teaching requirements for my state certification. I have worked in schools both in Pennsylvania and in Florida in a volunteer capacity within the classroom. I have worked both with groups of students on projects, as well as with individuals who required more personalized instruction to meet their needs.

The two main philosophies I try to live my life by are giving back more than what has been given to me, and always leave something in better condition then I found it. Life has not always been an easy road, but through hard work and determination I have risen above any adversity life has presented. I believe the juxtaposition of these philosophies with the leadership skills acquired through my years as a merchant mariner will help me reach my full potential as an educator. My qualifications include but are not limited to a United States Coast Guard Licensed Master Captain, Condominium President of a one hundred and sixty unit beach side complex in Cape Canaveral Florida, and a coach of a sixth through tenth grade hockey team.
The students of today will be the first generation to collaborate on a global scale and it will be necessary that they have an understanding of cultures other ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy helping people, particularly kids. It's a very good feeling to help kids understand so many of the concepts in science, math and computers that tend to stump them. I am an easy going and focused individual. I generally teach kids by relating the subject to something they are interested in. There is a very good example of this in the movie "Big", where Tom Hanks character is teaching algebra to a boy who likes basketball. This is a technique that I use frequently. I believe very strongly that kids need to understand the concepts underlying each problem so they can solve it through understanding and not just rote memorization.
I have BS degrees in both Physics and Nuclear Medicine. I was formerly a certified nuclear medicine technologist. I have worked as an engineer in the NASA community for much of my life and have a strong background in computers and software engin ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have enjoyed the opportunity to teach students to excel at several different levels during my career as a research scientist. As a graduate student, I tutored and mentored students in the local middle school science research class. Upon completing my Ph.D. I designed and taught college courses, and have more recently taught a year of science at the high school level. I have always been good at explaining difficult technical concepts in science and math, but also have a strong writing and editing background, and feel that is also an area that I am strong in from an experience/ educational perspective.
I have had some very patient and supportive teachers and mentors throughout my education, which extended well into my adulthood. As a result, I tend to be very compassionate, understanding, and supportive of the students that I have taught and mentored. I tend to be thorough, provi ... read more

I graduated from Shippensburg University in 2006 with a BS in elementary education and a minor in Reading. During the 2006-2007 school year, I worked as a daily substitute and gained experience in all grade levels. Throughout the 2007-2008 school year, I worked as a long term substitute in a fifth grade classroom. I had the opportunity to teach all subjects to my class. While working at this school, I tutored a small group of students to prepare them for the PSSA (Pennsylvania's state assessment). During the beginning of the 2008 school year, I worked as a Title 1 Tutor. I worked with elementary students who struggled with Reading and/or Math. I then moved from Pennsylvania to Florida in the beginning of 2009. Since then, I have transferred my teaching certificate and been working as a tutor. I have worked at a Tutoring Center since May 2007.

I have a communicative approach to learning. I feel it is important for a student to actually use the skills he or she is learning in communicating with others. I believe in order to teach effectively a teacher must find out the students' learning styles. All students can learn if their individual needs are focused on.
With a B.A. in Journalism, I have written for radio, TV, national magazines and several newspapers. I have worked with college-age and adult students teaching them English speaking and writing skills. In pursuing my Master of Education in TESOL, I have learned how to teach students about grammar, writing and reading. I will receive my Masters of Education in TESOL this Saturday, May 2nd. I enjoy working with ESOL students of all ages.

I have loved working with children since I was one myself. in all of my volunteer work and class work I have learned how to adapt instruction and assessments to meet various students academic needs. I firmly believe that kinestetics play a significant role in the learning process. I promote critical thinking and organization skills to every student I encounter. My goal is to conect with my students and to help influence their lives for the better.
For the past three years i have worked for a private school as a tutor in their Academic Assistance program. i have also been a volunteer tutor for the AVID program at stone Middle School. I am currently seeking my bachelor degree in Science Education and will be graduating in May of 2010.

I taught one full year after getting my B.A.-teaching english to foreign students. Then left the profession to begin raising a family. Returned 7 years later and worked as a teacher"s aide in elementary school, then specialized for one year in a special ed classroom. Then began substituting in Spanish and French on a daily and long-term contracted basis in the Syosset, and Northport, L.I. school districts. I decided to get my masters, which would again certify me to teach on a permanent basis in those local districts. Although I was offered two jobs after completing my masters, my husband and I decided to relocate to Florida. From 1987-1998, I tutored for the Brevard Learning Clinic in Melbourne and Rockledge.
I have a more traditional style of teaching-see, say hear and write. This is how I achieved success with both my foreign language students, and my learning disabled st ... read more

At college I worked as a tutor for two years in the areas of chemistry and mathematics. I earned BA's in chemistry and biochemistry and have some laboratory experience. Having been educated at a liberal arts school has also given me the opportunity to study philosophy and sociology. I also write well, as writing is emphasized in all disciplines of study at Knox. Previous to my college education, I was also active in my tutoring program in high school.
The most important part of teaching is to teach students the principle or concept behind a subject. I do not believe in making students memorize absurdly large lists of facts in order to pass a test. Learning should be more fundamental than that. When a student has been successfully taught something, the student should be able to solve an array of problems with a common theme.

Since graduate school I have been tutoring off and on mostly at the high school level in a variety of subjects, mostly math, through pre calculus, spanish, study skills, test preparation, history, sciences. I have also tutored elementary and middle school students. Although my education is in psychology I have been around teaching all of my life being raised by a school teacher. I am a mother of two small children and understand the importance of a good education, not only with teachers but with supplementary support of tutors and parents
I love working with all students but the majority of my experience is with high school students and helping to prepare them for college. My goal is for them to see college as an option that regardless of their financial situation that if they work hard and want it badly than they will succeed. I have tutored children with learning disabilities and ... read more
