My experience dates back to when I was in high school in the early 80's tutoring students and family members. I've also taught classes on Management of Aggressive Behavior / Appled Non-Violence to mental health professionals throughout the Las Vegas Valley and surrounding communities. I also worked as teacher assistant in the mental health setting working with special needs students. I've worked as a Literacy Tutor at CSN in which I developed and implemented lesson plans for a class of eleven students at the middle school . I have my Teaching credentials through NV Dept. of Education as Certified Substitute Teacher ( K- 12 ). I currently substitute/guest teach within the CCSD. I'm a follower of traditional teaching methods. I believe in the unique triangular team-centered approach involving myself, students and parents.

Biology is one of those subjects that is taught in what seems like every grade and college as well, with the subject matter increasing in difficulty every year. I believe, in fact, that this method is the most effective that we currently have. But there are many problems that have left so many students behind. The source of the problem is that if a student has one single semester that they do poorly in Biology for whatever reason, it creates an endless loop of failure because for that student, they are way behind during the next year of Biology and therefore fail or barely pass that semester or year of Biology again, and that vicious cycle just revolves again and again. That is why private tutoring must pick up the slack and make sure that every student catches up to where they are scheduled to be until we can make some changes to our educational system. I consider myself to be a uniquel

I have a Bachelors degree in biology with a minor in chemistry and a masters degree in forensic biology (DNA analyst) I have a genuine love for the study of biology and life sciences. It is so much a love of mine, that I have chosen biology, genetics, and DNA analysis as a career. As a forensic DNA analyst I must stay abreast of advancements in the field of biology and genetics as well as stay on top of the basic principles and theories of the science. I have tutored middle school aged children in the past in general education as well as tutored friends and family members in the field of high school and college level sciences. Tailored to the client.

Internationally published scientist (USA, France, Denmark) in the fields of neurobiology, muscle gene expression, high altitude physiology, diabetes and developmental biology. Instructor in 3D Animation, Forensic Animation, Character Animation, Graphic Art. We strongly believe that 3D animation and interactive tutorials help convert complex subject matter into easy-to-understand visuals. We have produced educational content for over 14 years - both to secondary and professional individuals and organizations. Our educational work has appeared on PBS, CNN, Nat Geo and several other educational venues. I use animation and interactive application to help convey complex scientific and technical subject matter.

I graduated in May 2001 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology. In college I took a variety of courses but focused on the sciences. I became a Resident Assistant in my second year and remained one through the end of college. My responsibilities were to enforce the school's policies while being available to the dorm students for support and individual needs. During my last year in college I was a tutor for twin boys in fifth grade. I have a strong academic foundation and feel very comfortable and patient when educating others. I always begin by reinforcing the basic and main principles first. I believe that a good education begins with a strong foundation. At that point it gets interesting as we can propose real life scenarios, change variables, and add in new information. Every child learns differently, which is why I also make a point to observe how he/she responds to my tec

My teaching style is more visual than verbal. Math and science are visual arts, meaning one must see and understand a formula before it is to be solved. In my experience, merely obtaining a solution to a problem is not learning, it is the journey from unsolved question to simplified answer is true knowledge. I have no formal experience in tutoring or teaching, however I was quite driven to achieve my goals in Nuclear Physics. My field has enabled me to gain a great understanding of math and science and how they are dependent on each other. I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing countless research papers, theses, and laboratory reports, along with essays in other areas of study.

I believe that a teacher's adaptability is the most essential skill. A teacher's style should be evaluated as often as a child's progress. All people develop at an individual pace and style so it makes sense that information should be presented in a manner that actually communicates to each child. Coming from a special education background, it is my belief that every person has the ability to learn. Adapting curriculum for each student would be ideal. For special education this is called the individual education plan. Tutoring, supplemental education, and individual attention to students help to provide this specialized, possibly ideal, situation. Over the past fifteen years, most of my teaching skills have been in non-traditional settings. Providing education for diverse age populations in the area of community programs taught me a multitude of instructional strategies. In 2001, the l

Even before I graduated from NDNU with my teaching credential in English and social studies, I have tutored for several years in almost every subject. I have come to understand that each individual has his/her own unique way of learning. The way I teach is very simple. I explain my teaching style using the analogy of a mother bird teaching her baby how to fly. The mother guides her baby, teaching it, showing it the ropes of life, and when it comes time, the baby flies off on its own with no help. This is quite similar to how I teach and tutor children. I guide them through lesson plans and homework with a helping hand, and when it comes time for them to "fly," I let them go and hopefully they will understand the concept and be able to work individually. When this happens, it is truly an inspiring moment, to be there and watch children grow.

I love helping children learn. I am very patient and considerate. The most rewarding feeling is knowing that you helped someone. I believe that the skills we learn throughout grade school help us persevere later in life. When I was in grade school I had difficulty articulating my words and was placed into speech therapy. Looking back, I am eternally thankful for those mentors and teachers whom helped me succeed. I have obtained two B.A.'s within the past 6 years. I have extensive study in all subjects. My best subjects are math, science, and social studies. I have also studied the piano for 15 years and violin for 8 years. In college I became very interested in theatre and have extensive study in directing, stage managing, and construction. In high school I tutored middle school and elementary school students in math. I have worked as a teacher's aid in mathematics. In colleg
