Earth Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Mercury, NV

I have tutored many subjects for over 10 years with exceptional success, including Earth Science. In fact I also taught it to 8th graders in middle school for an entire academic year. I consider myself to be a uniquely seasoned, qualified, and experienced tutor who can adapt to any situation and to any student in order to benefit their education and learning experience. Due to my ability to teach and tutor children and adults of all ages, (in addition to my own near-perfect scores on the SAT & ACT) I was one of the first Instructors hired by PrepExpert, a national company that specializes in preparing students for the SAT, ACT, AP, other exams, and simply for help in regular classes at all levels. This company is so successful and growing so fast because of the unparalleled improvements among students that it recently appeared on ABC's show "Shark Tank," during which Mark Cuban was impr

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 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 technique. As individuals with specific needs, they sometimes need more creative approaches. Whatever the situation, I have the ability to appeal to them with patience and support. 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 n

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. 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 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

I have volunteered for a violence prevention program for one year and I taught children social skills and also have them complete a nine week course of homework assignments. I also was a big sister for a little girl and I not only spent many hours with her going to the park, arts and crafts, but I also helped tutor her with her homework. I really enjoy working with children, I feel they have so much potential if given the opportunity and some students just need that one on one help with a tutor or a teacher. I make sure that my instructions and how I am teaching is consistant with how well the child is able to grasp the concept or idea I am trying to teach. The whole purpose in teaching is to make sure the student understands and that is what I practice.

Teaching has been the most rewarding career that I could have ever imagined. I love working with students and helping them reach their full potential.I believe that all students can learn, however, not all by standard or conventional methods. I teach to a diverse population and have developed teaching strategies and interventions to reach virtually every student I have taught or tutored. I believe in open lines of communication with students, as well as, mutual trust and respect. I value student's input as to academic difficulty and potential goals. We are a team working towards student academic success. I have worked with students for over 15 years, in general education and special education. I have tutored students after school in any/all elementary subject areas. My strengths are literacy based subjects, and I am weaker in math. I am organized, determined, patient, understanding and p

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. 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.

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 college I helped my friends with their studies in anatomy and physiology and environmental science. 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.

I believe that each child learns in his or her own way and you, as a teacher, must provide opportunities for all students to learn. I believe teachers must be flexible and willing to change plans to accomodate the needs and interests of the class. I believe that children need to be given a good foundation especially in reading. Reading is the most important skill because without reading students will have difficulty in all other subjects. I have been teaching for 15 years. If children are taught to read the right way they will not have problems later on. Difficulties should be caught early in order to help students overcome them. I have been tutoring for two years.

I have been a tutor throughout my undergraduate career. I have been employed by a tutoring service as well as independently. I have tutored all levels of high school Mathematics as well as most undergraduate level mathematics courses. I have 3 years experience in these various fields. My teaching style is unique. I make sure that students learn by doing, not by watching me do problems. As a student i always found that the most effective teachers used a style that allowed the student to do problems and ask questions. Today i put these practices to use in my tutoring. I believe that no child is a lost cause and that any child can learn given the right circumstances.
