Biology Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Oakland, NE

I have taught Genetics at University of Nebraska Omaha and been a lab instructor for general biology and Microbiology during my PhD program at UNL. Currently I am a Post Doctoral Research Assistant/Lab Manager at UNL and I am co-mentoring 6 graduate students and 2 undergraduate students. In the past I have tutored many students in subjects ranging from Algebra to Biology to Graduate Level Cell Biology Classes. My teaching style focuses on making sure students understand the bigger picture and not just memorizing a few facts. I work hard to make problems and tests less intimating and ease students stress levels when working with them. I find a confidence to be a big key to academic success when it some to math and science.

I have worked in the lab of a major hospital in Lincoln for 5 years, previous to receiving my degree. I am currently working as a DNA extraction and analysis technician at a genomics lab in Lincoln, NE. Also, I am in the midst of obtaining my Masters Degree in Curriculum Instruction of all Natural Sciences. I will graduate in May with my Masters and my teaching certification. Right now I am student teaching Anatomy and Physiology. I am a kinesthetic, visual learner and that is how I like to teach. I was not one of those students who could hear a concept once and apply the it the next second with total understanding. I needed to draw situations out, picture guides, analogies, and other strategies that made it possible for my mind to grasp and understand. In response to growing up with the continuous difficulty of facing teachers who were not fans of nonlinguistic learning, I found

I have a masters degree in biology. I have taught multiple college labs, including Ecology, Introductory Biology, Organismic Biology and Botany. I am comfortable with students ranging in age from preschool to graduate level. I am currently tutoring mathematics, but would love to commit time and effort to teaching Biology as well. Lastly, I am one class away from my second Masters degree and hope to be hired somewhere in Omaha to teach biology at the secondary level.

I love children and have gained lots of experience helping my mother who is a teacher. I am always positive and believe this helps students learn the best. Given this positive atmosphere, students can achieve their potential. I am a Biology/Chemistry tutor at my school. In high school, I also tutored students in math and science. I did well the MCAT, so I have tutored students in those areas.

When most high school seniors were registering for classes, they had an easy agenda planned. My intentions were entirely different. I decided to challenge myself the final year and study more science coursework than was needed for me to sufficiently graduate. In addition, I was the kind of friend that was reliable in understanding course concepts, so most of my friends and some other peers were coming to me for help. In college, I continued to pursue my interest in business. Through out college I contributed to my church's youth group by helping in organizing and implementing their projects. I enjoy children and trying to teach them new and exciting things. At times, I understand that it requires patience to work with children, but if you are able to do that then chances of success are much more likely. I believe that everything we teach to these children will be needed sooner or later i

I am a very laid back, easy going person. My teaching style typically incorporates both written and visual so there is something for all types of learners. The student has the answers, I merely guide or tweak those answers to get the correct expressions. There is always a way to explain a concept to get the underlying comprehension for everyone. I have extensive knowledge in the Sciences with six years of biology classes behind me. I have also tutored fellow students in Biology and Chemistry while earning my bachelor's degree. From there, I taught Biology labs (General Zoology, Marine Vertebrates) while earning my master's degree. And now, I am a college Anatomy & Physiology professor.

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

As an university graduate, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I have earned a bachelor degree in accounting, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math, all phases of accounting and financials. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers, along with essays in many various areas of study. During the last ten years I have mentored co-workers in excel, AP/AR along with classmate in mathematics, and cost accounting areas. I even taught drivers education classes which requires extreme patience and skills. I am also persuing the masters degree in accounting and financial management. My style of teaching is with patience, visuals and letting the student learn with hands-on approach. Example, letting them walk through the steps in excel as I guide them patiently as learn each in differe

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.

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.

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 angle best suited for the individual goes. 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 hu

I am a very dedicated and determined person and I expect those that I work with to be willing and determined to put forth effort. Besides that my teaching style depends on the styles of those I am working with since different people have different learning styles and it is necessary for me to adjust my style in order to help each and everyone succeed. I believe that everyone has an immense learning capacity if we, as teachers, can help them tap into that. I also believe in showing how the subjects taught can be useful in life and not just for a class that one has to take, as well as, showing the connections between that class and the other subject areas. I am a recent graduate from a liberal arts college which has allowed me the opportunity to be immersed in a variety of subjects. I graduated with a BA in Honors Mathematics and a BA in Physics and am going to continue my education to
