Life Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Moodus, CT

I hold a Ph.D in a Life Science discipline. I took a variety of Biology classes and Labs at WPI mostly focused on Cell Biology and Molecular Genetics. I recently finished my PH.D. where I studied control of viral gene expression. This work encompassed a variety of biological disciplines including virology, cell biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, and molecular genetics, all of which I am quite experienced in. I also have experience teaching in a seminar format as well as in small groups. As a senior graduate student I was responsible for leading discussions prior to invited speaker seminars. I believe that stimulating conversation and allowing people to arrive at answers on their own and through experience is the best way to form lasting connections.

My style is dependent on the student. While the end result is having a student understand the material, the way of achieving this varies with each person. Some students require a lot of hand holding while some require a more hands off approach. To achieve understanding I will cater to the students needs. I have tutored high school students who are college bound during my undergraduate years at William Paterson University of New Jersey. I also tutored my fellow undergraduates. I then pursued a doctorate and was active in many peer study groups where were tutored each other in neuroscience and organic chemistry. I have a love for science which shows through my enthusiasm in imparting scientific knowledge to others.

I personally can say that I have learned the most & can recall the most from those teachers that I consider my favorites. I believe it is because they knew how to inspire and motivate me to achieve what I thought I couldn’t or didn’t want to do. Those early experience is the inspiration behind the way I teach/tutor and write. I once heard it stated that ‘no one cares how much you know until they know how much you care’. I truly believe that you have to have a genuine interest in the individuals you are trying to inspire in order to make learning a possibility, especially in young children & adolescents. I also believe that in order to make a difference & be a positive influence; you really have to enjoy & have a passion for what you do "I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands. You need to be able to throw something back" Maya Angelou. I’v

I used all learning styles. I taught and they wrote. We had group assignments and presentations. All students increased their English scores. They all succeeded in their learning. I loved teaching and made sure that they all had a wonderful learning experience. I worked hard to make sure everyone learned their curriculum. It would be a great joy to be part of a school system again. When I did my first student teaching in the 4th grade I succeeded in teaching the children all subjects. I also taught one Spanish girl how to read English and learn her math. My second term of student teaching was in the 3rd grade. Again I succeeded in teaching all subjects to my students. All my students were involved in learning. My greatest year of teaching was at Saint Joseph School. I taught middle school English from 5th grade through 8th grade. All my students were very busy learning the

Teaching is about active student learning. The learning needs to be student centered, involved and relevant. Students will also need to develop deductive and inductive reasoning skills, ethics, interpersonal and intrapersonal skills learned from family, culture and formal education influences. I plan to create partnerships with families. My classes will be using problem solving and critical thinking skills. They will learn the important features of the scientific method through immersion. My students will be motivated by positive high expectations, individualized for both intellectual and social growth. Students need to know you care about them personally and academically. I am honing my teaching skills and leveraging my scientific expertise as an Intern for a special education department in a HS. I provide one-on-one instruction in math, science and technology. I wil

This week I am graduating Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), Troy NY with a degree in computer and systems engineering. For the past four years I have been working at NASA and our nations leading research institutions to gain a strong background in computer and systems engineering. My goal for this summer is to begin a tutoring position to help students with math and writing and inspire future engineers by relating the subject matter they are working to exciting engineering opportunities that exist in the community. My teaching experience includes work as a teaching assistant (TA) for embedded control at RPI and taught summer classes in computer graphics at the East Hartford Glastonbury Magnet School. In addition I have a strong background in technical writing, recently publishing a second research paper for AIAA. Math can be fun, especially when applied to exciting applicati

My teaching style is relaxed, but focused. I believe all children can be natural learners, especially when they find something that interests them. Patience is the key with children. Every child has their own pace and learning style. Some are very visual learners while others need to be able to be more hands-on. It is very rewarding helping someone succeed. I am a former UConn graduate (1984) with a BS in Marketing. Many of my electives were in mathematics, enabling me to work as a student tutor on campus. I have also completed coursework in anatomy and physiology. In addition to tutoring college level students I have worked with elementary and middle school children in church youth groups, assisting with bible verse memorization and reading skills,as well as staging music productions. My experience also includes homeschooling my own children and assisting in classrooms.

I have earned a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree in Chemistry. Teaching is considered as a highly respected profession in the community where I grew up as a student. As a result, I developed a strong passion for teaching. During the last 20 years I have tutored many students in chemistry, mathematics, and sciences. Many of my family members are also teachers. My academic accomplishment in science and my desire to fight difficult diseases led me to select a career path in research for developing new and improved medicinal agents. My research profession has certainly helped me to stay up to date in my subject area and has taught me the value of collaborative and interdisciplinary team work. Thus, in my class room, I will bring the flavor of the most up to date affairs of science so my students can relate science to their day-to day life experience and feel inspired. I strongly believe,

All students can achieve success. As an educator, it is finding the means in which each individual student measures success and the best environment for them to learn in. Understanding what the students find interesting and relating the subject matter to this environment simplifies their learning process. This is best achieved through a one-on-one learning environment. I have found this to be true whether teaching at the elementary, secondary, college or graduate level. The reward of seeing a student’s expression of success and understanding is a pleasant reminder that educators build success in others. Whether in the environment of education, work or community, leadership and mentoring has always been my focus. My strong educational values were developed throughout my elementary and high school levels, graduating with honors. This level of achievement followed me through College,

My approach to teaching is to show my students how learning is relevant to their lives because students will more fully engage in their education if they believe there is significance to what they are learning. I like to question students about what is important and interesting to them, and then relate the course material to these issues through diverse activities that tap into a wide range of talents (writing, drawing, speaking, etc.). I believe students benefit from repeated exposure to the same ideas in various forms. Every student is capable of learning; it is my role as teacher to discover how best to teach each individual student and guide them to reach their potential as a learner. My focuses as an educator have been in the sciences and in the education of disadvantaged youth. While completing a graduate degree in natural resources at the University of Connecticut, I worked as
