Today is a great day to learn something new!

I am a full-time high school teacher with over 12 years of experience in education. I specialize in Science, but have experience teaching and tutoring most levels and subjects. Throughout my 12 years in public education I have developed many skills to accommodate various student needs. I have a love for learning and inspiring my students to be life-long learners by making content meaningful. Teaching and learning is successful when students not only "know content" but are able to create connections and demonstrate real-world applications.
I foster development of the whole student by encouraging critical thinking. My methods are adjusted to meet the students needs with an individualized approach. My goal is to promote self learning and help students develop necessary critical thinking skills.

Life Science is one of my top subjects! Includes various disciplines: invertebrate zoology, taxonomy, organismal biology, evolution, biodiversity, biogeography. Also museum curation and collections management.

I have work experience as a wildlife biologist and ecologist specializing in rare and endangered species research and conservation. I also have expertise in natural history collections curation and management having worked at three natural history museums over the course of my career. I am comfortable teaching in a traditional classroom, home, or in the field in an outdoor setting.
Emphasize understanding of concepts rather than test taking skills.

More About This Tutor...

I believe that every student is a unique individual that has the ability and desire to learn. Ultimately, my goal is for each one of my students to reach his or her full potential in life and become a productive citizen of our world. I feel that a child learns best through play. For this reason, my lessons and activities will use fun manipulatives and eye-catching visuals. By using a variety of tools and anchor charts, I will appeal to auditory, visual and kinesthetic learners. I feel that taping into all 8 types of intelligences is important to the development of the whole child. As a tutor I eagerly welcome the responsibility to develop each and every student into a compassionate, ambitious and intellectual human beings.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am sure to build a strong relationship with my students, so they feel comfortable working with me. In return, I see children work hard and make huge gains both academically and socially. I expect a lot out of my students, so in order for them to work hard I have to make sure I make my lessons and activities exciting and engaging. It is important to celebrate each success with children, no matter how small, in order to make overall improvements. I am also a firm believer that parents should be partners in education and I always provide parents/guardians with updates on student progress, goals for future sessions, and useful activities or tools to reinforce student learning at home.
I am an outgoing and energetic teacher with dual certifications in Early Childhood Education and Elementary Education (RI and MA). I am certified to teach Pre-K through 6th grade. I have 5 years of expe ... read more

As a bachelors graduate with subject concentration in math and science, I am very involved teaching peers and younger people in a applied manner. My experience has been hands on teaching in the trades with skills in carpentry and math.
Following school graduation, I have been actively teaching younger people the value of the trades. I work with them enhancing their math and geometry skills by leading by example; and showing them in an applied manner how their skills and education can be applied in the real world..

I believe understanding of science and math is essential in today's world. I also believe this understanding is not beyond the grasp of any student, as long as they are given patient instruction, the relevance and importance of the subject is provided, and interest is suitably generated. I believe an educator with passion and enthusiasm for science and math can make a critical difference for a student, and I know I can be that person.
I am a recent graduate of the University of Rhode Island with a BS in Wildlife Conservation Biology. My academic background includes much coursework in biology, chemistry, physics, other sciences, and math. I won a scholarship due to my high GPA in the sciences, and was also a Coastal Fellow - doing a research project with the Audubon Society of Rhode Island and presenting my results in a scientific poster during a special presentation.

After graduating with a bachelor's degree in psychology in 2005 I went on to work as a Special Education aid at the middle school level. I was responsible for a ten year old girl with Asperger's Syndrome, which required me to monitor her throughout the day as well as modify each lesson given in each subject. As math was her weakest subject, I was able to develop a a learning system which suite her learning style. I also taught her not only math but every other subject such as science, social studies, grammar, and reading. Throughout college I also worked as an elementary level tutor for those students with low reading levels
Teaching and working with children has been a love of mine for quite some time now. I feel all student's have the ability to learn but at a pace and level that is comfortable to them. My teaching style reflects my experience working with developmentally delaye ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been in Education for over 20 years. Most recently I have been a substitute teacher in all subject areas and grade levels. I have a strong Science background and I am a published author so I am proficient in Reading/Writing. For the past 10 years I have taught K-8 students computer applications across all disciplines. For instance, utilizing EXCEL in Math lessons, or using WORD or POWERPOINT to promote Language Arts skills (Writing, Drafting, Editing, and Publishing). I have several years experience working with autistic and other developmental disabilities in children.
I very much have a "hands-on" teaching style. I am a visual learner myself, so my teaching style reflects that methodology. I explain the concept, demonstrate the process, reintroduce the steps and then allow my students to practice, practice, practice while offering guidance, suggestions, and positive rein ... read more

When I taught sailing to young kids, I used to dress up like a pirate. I have lots of energy. I know I'm doing my job right when kids start laughing. When I taught to teenagers, I kept in mind my own experiences at that age. If I'm helping a student study hard on that big, important test that might have the ability to crush the student's soul - I bust out my acoustic guitar and sing about how It's The End of The World As We Know It (And This Test Means Very Little In The Long Run).
I recently graduated cum laude from the University of Rhode Island with two Bachelors of Science in Marine Geology and Maritime Law. I teach sailing and environmental education in the summers. This means very little however as I aspire, one day, to become a lighthouse keeper. Sadly, few can find such a position these days. I enjoy writing, science, mathematics, literature and most all musi ... read more

Teaching has been a life long goal for me. I decided I wanted to teach when I was in the third grade. My third grade teacher left an impression on me that lasted through out my life. I completed the elementary education program at Rhode Island College in May, 2006. I have been a substitute in the field for two years. I am actively searching for a permanent teaching position. I spend my time in the elementary grades teaching a variety of subjects. I focus on grades kindergarten through five. I have a solid background in the language arts field. English was my concentration during the teacher preparation program. I enjoy teaching all subjects and I am willing to tutor any of them.
I enjoy teaching math, science, social studies and language arts. I like to use many teaching strategies because I believe all children learn in different ways. I like to use hands-on activities, visual ai ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As an undergraduate student I double majored in Biology and philosophy. Biology has provided me with a strong understanding in chemistry, biochemistry, ecology, evolution, and physics. Along with that, my philosophy degree has provided me with the ability to clearly communicate my ideas to another person.
I have a lot of patience which allows me to take my time when going over a concept to a student. I never feel the need to rush or come back to a topic later. I will cover it thoroughly.
