Life Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Napa, CA

I have successfully completed a Beacon tutor course in preparation for individual and group tutor sessions. I led a semester long Beacon tutoring supplement course in Organic Chemistry that supported 20 junior college students. I have effectively tutored/mentored a number of high school students in general education coursework, organizational skills, and in preparation for exit examinations. I have conducted community based math group sessions for junior high and high school students. Finally, I have supported 1st and 2nd grade elementary school students in math and reading comprehension. I personally create and provide worksheets and additional materials to support students' mastery of coursework. Students under my mentorship have achieved at least a 40% increase on grade reports and above average scores on examinations.

The beginning of everything, I've got three younger sisters and there has always been a fair amount of helping out where they're concerned. I've babysat since I was twelve and for the past few years I've worked as a nanny. It's not exactly what you would expect for a tutor but I've been offering homework help in those areas for many years.

Biology is the study of life and you are alive (unless you are a zombie). Allow me to be your guide as we learn about you and the wonderful world around you! I have been teaching/tutoring students in life science for over 20 years, but it all started with my BA from UC Berkeley in Integrative Biology. At Berkeley I tutored/taught part-time as a Lab Teacher at Berkeley Community College, a study group leader at UC Berkeley student learning center, and a Kaplan MCAT tutor. I then earned my MA in Zoology (with a thesis in molecular evolution from University of South Florida) and mentored/taught College Freshmen Biology and worked in immunology at the Cancer Research Center. I moved back to the Bay Area and worked at Biotech companies including Genentech, and Amgen. In 2013 I earned my Biology and Chemistry California Teacher Credential from CSUEB, and now have been a full-time life-sci

Many of my previous jobs have surrounded helping others. Whether that was through tutoring and teaching or customer service. Growing up I also tutored my younger sister and my cousin who has a learning disability. I have always been passionate about helping others, especially through education. Currently, I am pursuing a major in Sociology at the University of California Berkeley in hopes of becoming a teacher for K-12 students and eventually a college professor.

I have different styles for different students. Some prefer one-on-one and some prefer to learn in a group and participate. I am capable of providing my own materials and test questions for students and assist them to learn and master their subject. I am more of an action type of person, if quality of service is not up to your expectation then its free of charge. I have started my own personal day care/tutoring agency at a very young age. I took care of 4-5 elementary children and held studying/playing session for them at that age. Since Freshman year in high school, I started tutoring algebra and geometry to peers and younger learners in one-on-one study session or group class. Other than privately tutoring, during high school years, I was able to volunteer for Lynbrook High School's afterschool tutoring session. Even during college years, I was in University of California-San Diego's a

I have spent the last three year being a nanny and tutor for kids in a variety of age groups. I have worked with all kinds of kids including special needs children, group home kids, High school students in AP classes, and Dyslexic children. I also have taught swim and Flute lessons in the past. I really enjoy working with children and, form my experience, children really enjoy working with me. I find it's best to get to know each child individually before picking a teaching style to use. Most of my students have been successful because I mold me tutoring plans around their individual needs

I use the Active Participation strategy because it engages the learner not only in understanding but in contributing as well. This active learning process combined with introduction of practical uses/examples of the the subject matter provides a deeper meaning. But most of all the Objective,Purpose,and what their interests are, must be known so that these can be incorporated in the learning process. I have been a substitute teacher for about 10 years specializing in math & physics. I have a BS in Mechanical Engineering plus 20+ years of maintenance/engineering experience. I incorporate practical examples in teaching to give students in depth knowledge in a practical sense. I gather my examples from my varied career experiences from the Military, Aircraft, Engineering, Manufacturing/Maintenance & Computer fields. I sporadically tutors students in my specialty.

I earned a degree in Applied Mathematics and have always been "the go to guy" when my friends high school aged kids need help with their math homework. I hold my own teenagers to a rigorous standard with their studies. Professionally, I have been a technical mentor, a patient results analyst and presenter, shown poise under fire from unhappy vendors and had the privilege to show high school students my state of the art computer testing facilities as part of their career exploration. I have coached and refereed soccer at youth and high school levels for ten years. I am on the board for Benicia Youth Soccer. I was President of Pathways Charter School in Sonoma County. I truly care about education and high standards of achievement. I am patient yet firm. My personal background in mathematics was fairly rigorous, so I always make my students show their work.

As a former instructor in Microbiology for 3 years, I know the importance of being innovative in teaching in order for students to grasp seemingly complicated topics. Not only did I prepare lesson plans and lectures, but also integrated visual aids, such as Power Point and videos, as well as interactive activities, like games, for students to better comprehend the lessons taught. I often followed up with them individually to ensure that they clearly understood one topic before moving on to the next. As a result, my students gave me positive feedback and made significant improvements in their grades. My ultimate strategy in teaching is to patiently guide and motivate the student to overcome any difficulties and to help them succeed. Before teaching, I worked as a Doctor specializing in Clinical Pathology, including Microbiology. In this work, I studied in-depth the characteristics an
