When teaching or tutoring a student I have found that there are several factors in how it should be approached. The most important of the factors are the subject matter and the students learning style. The learning style of the student has to be considered when teaching. Helping a student learn requires finding the most effective method. You want to make sure they understand the subject matter while exposing them to other possible ways to approach difficult problems. You can provide tools not only for the problems they are having but preparing them to handle future difficulties. Teaching can be rewarding as you help the student help themselves by discovering their own strength and weakness as well as was to improve. Over the twelve years I attended college I acquired six degrees while maintaining high academic standards. I received a Master’s of Science Degree in Forensic Science, a

My approach to tutoring is to first make the student feel comfortable and to realize that they are not "stupid" or inferior because they need help. Then I find out specifically where they are having difficulties and concentrate on that area. If they still are having difficulties in that area, I will move on to the next topic so that they don't get frustrated. Once they have obtained some level of confidence, I will revisit the area where they were having difficulties. I believe in positive feedback, so I will motivate my students through encouraging words and praise, without being patronizing. I earned my MA degree in Biology from Villanova University in December 1997. For the next two years I earned my living by tutoring students in biology and math as a side business until I landed a research position at Princeton University in 1999. Since then I have been doing laboratory resea

I have experience tutoring or teaching all ages from elementary school to college. I understand that all students learn in various ways and I try to find the way that works best for each individual. I believe in making education interesting and try to bring a new spin to every subject. I strive to help every student gain confidence in their abilities and to reach their highest potential. I am very patient, understanding, a good listener, and supportive. I received my Bachelor's of Science in Genetic Engineering, with a concentration in Forensic Science, and a minor in Mathematics. I am currently working on my Master's of Science in Biology. My diverse education has provided me with a wide range of knowledge in chemistry, biology, and mathematics.

As per my view, every child has skills and weaknesses but in different areas. So we have to focus on the certain weak areas. Plus everyone prefers their own style to learn. So I prefer to teach with the student friendly way. All Children will definitely achieve their goals with proper direction and guidance with strong will and hard work. I have graduated from Medical School in India after acing High School, was amongst top ten in state. As parents were teachers, I have interest in teaching since childhood. I helped students during my medical school in subjects like anatomy, microbiology, physiology, psychology and sciences. I have also improve my English proficiency by taking English and speech classes here in NJ. I have also helped students here in US with same subjects.

With a PhD in biology, I had to master a wide array of fields in math, science, and statistics. All during graduate school, I tutored students with varying capabilities including dyslexia and language problems. I also taught sections of graduate level courses and undergraduate laboratory sections. After graduate school, I was a postdoctoral assistant at an undergraduate college in which I helped students with their senior laboratory research projects and their junior laboratory sections. This involved much one on one interaction with individual students. Subsequently, I spent 3 years teaching laboratory and lecture in biology for non-science majors at a community college. Personally, I love tutoring because it is a one on one interaction with students. In that regard, students can be evaluated more efficiently as to how to help them become more proficient in a particular subject. E

I believe teaching others a skill or new information is a gift, to both myself and the student. When the light goes off in their head, and the "I got it!" look comes across their face, I feel a sense of accomplishment. I am very patient, and understand that each student learns at their own speed. Additionally, I know that each student is different, which will sometimes require a new teaching technique. I believe everyone can learn; sometimes it just takes the right teacher for the right student. I was a teaching assistant for three of my four years at the University of Delaware. I taught courses, as well as tutored students and graded exams. Additionally, I have a great deal of experience in sciences and english, specifically biology and microbiology, as well as excellent grammar skills.

I have always had a penchant for tutoring. Having a younger sister in high school, she has always looked to me for guidance in her sciences. I knew right away that I wanted to tutor in college. Few things are as gratifying and fulfilling as helping students overcome their academic challenges. I have a very distinct style when it comes to tutoring. I like to stress proper studying habits along with teaching the material. I not only want my tutee to learn the material, but to learn solid studying skills that will allow them to succeed in their future endeavors. I am very patient and fastidious in both my studies and while tutoring others. I have experience working with children of all ages and backgrounds. Graduating from a private institution that specializes in the sciences, I have acquired a broad and thorough understanding of many disparate topics. Though my degree is in biology, I hav

As a current undergraduate chemistry and honors student at Arcadia University, I was recommended to become a tutor from several of my teachers my first year in college. I became a certified CRLA tutor and started tutoring my sophomore year of college; I've been tutoring ever since. I tutor chemistry, biology, math (beginner algebra, statistics, calculus I and II), and calculus based physics. I love working with students and teaching them something new. The best feeling is when someone understands a concept that they didn't before; when something "clicks" for a student, I feel as if my job as a tutor was done. I'm a very determined, persistent, caring, and patient person; all of these characteristics have helped me become a great tutor.

As an undergraduate at Penn State, I became interested in education through positive experiences with my own teachers. At this time, I was an active high school volleyball coach, an environmental science teaching assistant, and an environmental science camp counselor. Earning a BS in Biology grounded my content knowledge in both Biology and Science and propelled my education in writing, lab experience, field experience, and technology. Furthermore, I enrolled at King's College to solidify my knowledge of teaching and education and received PA Certification in Secondary Biology. I have found teaching to be the most fulfilling and challenging experience of my life thus far. Each classroom environment and student is dynamic and different. My experience working with students from ages 10-25 has showed me the various ways that students learn and has challenged me to become an effective c

My teaching style consists of the following methods: Using Power Point presentations that contain colorful animations and pictures would be used. Colorful hand-outs of pictures would complement the exercise. There would be handouts containing relevant tables, graphs, and charts. Index cards would be used, with one side containing a question about a fact or concept, and the other side containing the correct answer. This method of studying helps retain information for memory. Time-management is the most important aspect of mastering any academic science material! Cramming is not recommended. Budgeting one’s time is sacred and universal for all students. Time-management has to become a good habit. My academic background is in both biology and podiatry. In terms of biology, I earned a Bachelor of Arts in biology from Rutgers University and a Master of Science in biology fro
