Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Northboro, IA

I love teaching and working with children. I believe that all children are capable of learning. Each child is unique and, therefore, has a unique style of learning that must be tapped in to so that they reach their maximum potential. I believe that learning by doing is the best method of learning. "My" kids are always successful and eager to learn. They understand that we are a team and that together we'll reach farther than they thought possible. There is no higher calling than that of teaching. I have spent thirty-five years in the field of education. During my college years I worked in the early childhood field and I worked as a private tutor as a means of supporting my education. Since that time I have worked in public schools, religious organizations, private educational facilities, and non-profit organizations partnering with public schools. The past thirteen years my work

I have always been interested in science and using that science to benefit humanity. In college I pursued a bachelor degree in Biology and was president of molecular/mircobiology club and was an anatomy, organic chemistry, and physics tutor. As an undergraduate I was able to be involved in forensic DNA research. After graduating I entered medical school where I have pursued research interests in pediatric infectious diseases, and middle ear dysfunction. In medical school I tutored students in pathology and pharmacology. My passions are teaching and patient care. I have a teaching style that is very adaptive to any individual. I am very patient and understanding that multiple approachs to grasp a subject may need to happen. I try to base all knowledge around concepts instead of rogue memorizing. I prefer 1:1 tutoring but have experience lecturing to large audiences.

I have high passion in transmitting to others my knowledge. I know how challenging the learning process is for children since many others issue easily grab their attention. I constantly review and adjust my teaching style to the student need because I believe this may be appropriate for new circumstances. I am well organized, patient, and punctual to assist my students at any time by allowing them forwarding any questions they may have from the learned subject. For the past 7 years, I have devoted my efforts to get a successful career in business. During that time, I have earned Associates in Applied Science and Bachelor degrees in Business Administration, with emphasis in Accounting, in addition to my previous experience in business setting. Acquiring that knowledge has enabled me good understanding in many areas of Math and Accounting. I have brief experience tutoring Math and Spanish

“Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel”. This metaphor best represents my perspective on education. The purpose of education is more than merely teaching the necessary curriculum but to further give children a desire to learn and to teach them how to develop their own minds. Education should nurture the inquisitiveness and curiosity in individuals and should help to prepare them for real life experiences. Overall, I am very easy going and fun to be around. I love to find any and all ways to make learning enjoyable. I am very passionate about teaching and helping young minds grow! I currently hold a Bachelor's degree in Healthcare Administration, and I will have a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education with an endorsement in Early Childhood come May 2011. During my first degree, I tutored many kids at the Elementary level that was set up through the Uni

For some time, I have been in other student's lives influencing their skills learning experience. As a grade school student, I worked with elementary school teachers for a couple of years, helping children in lower grade levels with math and science. Time and time again, through earning my diploma, BS in Biology and attending medical/dental school, I've invested my abilities to help students through lessons and courses that were hurdles: math, sciences, music, and Spanish. First and foremost, getting to know the student and what appeals to them most is the objective. Correlating things that excite or motivate him/her with the subject of study helps maintain focus. From there on, giving a lead for the student to follow has worked best for me. Like filling in a blank to complete a statement, this approach provides a context for the pupil to work in, a guide. Above all, bending to find the

I graduated with my Bachelor of Science in Chemistry in 2008 and am now almost done with my Master's in Biomedical Sciences. I was a laboratory teaching assistant for two years and a math tutor in the Creighton University Math Department for 2 years. I also did some private math tutoring for the undergraduates in Calculus I as well. I am easygoing, but enjoy challenging my students to do well. I always try to be prepared and make sure that I am familiar with the material before any tutoring sessions. I am not concerned with time and feel that if it does take longer than the hour assigned to completely help the student understand the material, then I am more than willing to put in extra time to help them.

Prior to and during my employment with Metropolitan Community College (Between 1998 and 2007) I was a volunteer tutor with non traditional students in the Adult Basic Education/General Education Development ABE/GED program of Metro community college. I love to see the proverbial light come on and the students eyes widen and they say "OH! I get it!" I've tutored a wide variety of students from diverse backgrounds. I try to make mathematics fun, like a puzzle to be figured out, and remove the "hard chore" stigma which is generally hard pressed into a students mind by the time I arrive. Getting the student to believe in themselves and believe mathematics isn't a daunting task it's just difficult until you learn the tricks is my goal. I've notice most students find word problems to be most challenging so I purchased a word problem book to draw examples from which seems to help.

Above all, I am passionate about the subject matter I teach and do everything I am able to foster and grow this passion in my students. I strive to make difficult concepts approachable and more easily understood by relating them to real world applications. Developing a personal rapport with my students is essential to our mutual success and thus I tailor teaching methods to the student's unique learning styles. Employing a personalized combination of visual, auditory, Socratic and exploratory methods provides my students with the best opportunities possible to grasp their topics of interest and help both of us ensure success in all aspects of our lives. I am an experienced and educated professional with a BS in mechanical engineering, over sixty additional, undergraduate credit hours in mathematics, and am currently pursuing a master's degree in applied mathematics. I have great passion
