I have tutored many subjects for over 10 years with exceptional success, including General Science. Extremely Interactive and Student-Specific Methods Tailored to each Student's Needs & Goals 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

Bachelors degree in biology with a minor in chemistry as well as a masters degree in forensic science (DNA analysis) 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.

I graduate from UNLV with a degree in Biology-Ecology. I took classes up to Calculus II, Biochemistry II, Organic Chemistry II, Microbiology and Physics II for example. I have been teaching Spanish at elementary schools for the past 6 years. Classes are an hour, before and after school. There are usually between 15-30 students in each class. I have also tutored at Landero Learning Center for 3 years. I tutor elementary and middle school students in Science, Math, Social Studies and Spanish. I also go to an 8th grade student's home for private tutoring classes, 2 hours a day.

All fields of sciences covered. 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.

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 lead special education teacher at a high school asked me to offer assistance. I was able to observe different teaching styles in classroom settings and to provide individual instruction to students with varying learning styles. My most recent position at Total Education Solutions offered me the opportunity to be in a classroom setting. Although my placement was with one child, my presence and skills in teaching and behavior modification called me to work in small groups and with other individual students. I adapted therapies and curriculum in order to fit the needs of the children. Working in conjunction with the Los Angeles Unified School Dist

My first substitute teaching assignment was in a class of Autistic children. It was a great experience in that I realized how important patience is to the success of any teaching experience. Each step toward achieving a student's goals, whatever those goals may be, is to be savored. I enjoy helping students pursue their goals and helping them recognize and appreciate their opportunities to succeed. For the past two years, I have been a substitute teacher for the Clark County School District. My primary focus has been on elementary education, however, I am comfortable teaching all grade levels. My expertise is in English, grammar and writing. I have also spent a year prior to my move to Las Vegas, doing private tutoring in the Los Angeles area.

I love tutoring teens. I have been an independent tutor for five years now and have tutored in many subjects. I have the most experience tutoring algebra, English, biology, chemistry, and composition. I am in my final year at UNLV and I will be graduating with a Bachelor's degree in biology emphasis pre-professional studies and will be graduating in spring 2009 due to class availability. I will also have a minor in chemistry as well as a minor in English. I have tutored several teens in the Las Vegas Valley. I am currently tutoring a teen to understand basic math skills in order to pass the Nevada math proficiency test. For example, in math algebra is crucial to understanding all math subjects after it. Within algebra there are concepts that are repeated in geometry, trigonometry, and even calculus. I am dedicated to all the students that I tutor. Having the experience of being in an acc

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.
