Life Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Pendleton, OR

I love teaching and working with all students. I believe everyone can learn, no matter the difficulties faced in the past or present. I educate on the belief that because everyone is unique, everyone also has a unique way of learning. I am available to help your son or daughter to find academic success in a way that is tailored to their needs. I am patient, easy going, and considerate, while still impassioned to challenge and inspire. My goal is to provide the best education possible, not just in teaching a subject, but also helping your son or daughter to learn to grow academically. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and hands on approach. As a graduate from University of Idaho, I was very much driven to reach a higher level of excellence in education, leadership, and support of my peers. I have earned a BS in Chemistry, which has allowed me to gain an understanding

My experience as a teacher has given me the opportunity to teach math, science, history, literature, reading and writing to a very diverse group of students. These students vary in development, both academically and socially, and I adjust my delivery of instruction to meet the needs of all. I continue to work with students who function above, on and below grade level expectations and together we meet or exceed the classroom teacher’s expectations. In following Constructivist methods of instruction, we use class discussion, open ended questions and cooperative learning to facilitate a highly interactive and inquisitive classroom atmosphere. In my instruction I apply research-based strategies, theories, new techniques, and modern methods of instruction. I put a lot of thought and work in to creating my lesson plans. This can be seen in the detail that I provide on each plan. I pay car

Most people can’t recall their first days of school, but I can.While the fashions changed as I entered each grade, I was always filled excitement.It was equivalent to the feeling you get at Christmas, but better!The present you were getting on the warm August day was a new teacher, a new desk, and new friends. It is those same feelings that drew me to wanting to be an educator.I have experiences in various grade levels and a broad range of content knowledge.During my undergraduate career I was lucky enough to be given a great foundation.I have been able to practice hands on what I had learned in the classroom and it has given me the confidence in my ability to be an educator. I have a passion for teaching and working with children to help them be successful. I always have the goal to make all the students I come into contact leave wanting to be life long learners. This doesn't go without

I am warm, patient and accessible. I am capable of presenting concepts in diverse forms. All doubts and questions are answered using daily, commonplace examples that help the student comprehend a biological concept and not just memorize it for a test. During and at the end of each session, I use indirect and direct questioning to check the level of comprehension acquired and build on it. I check other skills such as reading and writing which may be interfering with the student's performance. I love teaching biology and I wish everybody would at least see how relevant it could be in life. Having clear concepts permits us all to make informed decisions regarding ourselves, our family and the environment. I have a PhD in Biology. I have lived and studied in several countries where I was able to learn from, admire and adapt to the diverse people I have encountered. I read, write and speak f

I have always had a deep appreciation for knowledge and education. I hold a BS in Marine Science (Oceanography), through which I took many high level science and math courses. I recently completed an MS in Environmental Science and Policy from the University of South Florida, where I formulated and conducted my own research project. I also wrote a professional research paper which will be published this year. At USF, I taught Environmental Science laboratory classes and received excellent reviews from my students. Every child learns in a different way and I consider it my responsibility as an instructor to discover the methods that help students dissect and retain information. I have found that excitement for your subject is crucial in making learning fun. I enjoy finding creative ways to help students tackle problems, whether mathematical or verbal. I am patient, friendly, and kno

As a recent college graduate with my BA in elementary education I am highly motivated to provide learner centered tools to engage and motivate students. I have been able to incorporate these principles into my own classroom as a long term substitute in a 6th grade Language Arts and History class. During my experiences I have had the opportunity to work with a variety of learners, including; English as a second language, multi-level students, sped, and highly capable students. My experience has also allowed me to work in many collaborative environments to create student assessments and measure student growth. Although my experiences are limited to one year they have all be very worth while for me as an educator. My teaching style is very distinctive to the students learning needs. I believe that the educator is a facilitator of the information and must be able to differentiate the in

Teaching has taught me quite a bit about children, and life. Through the past 10 years, I have learned to smile & keep my attitude upbeat to influence those around me to do the same. I have learned patience, the ability to go with the flow, and to keep it fun, no matter the challenge. Learning is fun, and I encourage all my students to go into any activity or challenge with this attitude. At the same time, I have high expectations of my students, and believe that they can do whatever they set their minds to. And, I will gladly be there, with a smile to keep it light, while pushing & guiding them through that challenge. I have been a teacher & tutor for over 10 years now, working with students of all ages, in a variety of subjects - the English language, reading comprehension, speech, writing, grammar, world history, geography, earth science, general study skills and homework completion.
