Genetics Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Point Reyes Station, CA

The beginning of everything, I've got three younger sisters and there has always been a fair amount of helping out where they're concerned. I've babysat since I was twelve and for the past few years I've worked as a nanny. It's not exactly what you would expect for a tutor but I've been offering homework help in those areas for many years.

Genetics is one of our most exciting fields and I have had the pleasure of working with local BioTech companies on cutting-edge research in the area. The possibilities are endless, and the deeper you go, the more complicated it gets. For example, if the conditions are just right, you CAN have a brown-eyed child from two blue-eyed parents! It's true... look it up! Allow me to lead you through this exciting world and you might learn a little bit of family history as you go! I have been teaching/tutoring students in life science for over 20 years, but it all started with my BA from UC Berkeley in Integrative Biology. At Berkeley I tutored/taught part-time as a Lab Teacher at Berkeley Community College, a study group leader at UC Berkeley student learning center, and a Kaplan MCAT tutor. I then earned my MA in Zoology (with a thesis in molecular evolution from University of South Flor

I have been tutoring students for several years and have over 300 hours of experience. My students have ranged in academic level from 6th grade through college and in age from 11 to the late 50s. I specialize in tutoring statistics for high school students taking AP Statistics and preparing for the AP Statistics Exam as well as college students taking statistics courses. I also have experience tutoring high school students in English and biology.

What I have found works effectively is to lead the student through the problem with as little intervention as possible. The problem the student usually has with the particular topic is usually a slight misunderstanding of background material needed to answer the question. I have tutored at UC Santa Cruz for undergraduate biology classes including cell biology, biochemistrty, genetics, and eukaryotic molecular biology. I tutored during my undergraduate education for two years.

As an UC Berkeley graduate, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I have earned my B.A. in Biology and a minor in Chemistry, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math and science. During the years I was pursuing my degree, I also worked as a private tutor for all level of children, mostly from grade 9 to 12, with their math, physics, chemistry and biology, and help them achieve their educational goals. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways; all children could achieve their goals, with the appropriate surroundings and help. Therefore, for each student I work with, the first thing I always do is to find out the goal and need, then make a specialized study plan. As the tutoring goes along, I would also work with the teacher and keep tract of the student's progress, to make necessary adjustment of the plan

I really like working with all sorts of people. There is no satisfaction greater than when I can see the spark in a person's eye when they comprehend materials they had not before. Everyone can learn any material they set their mind to if they have the motivation and the proper learning environment, and of course the right teacher. It is my desire to be a great teacher, educator, and mentor. As a recent graduate from the University of California Riverside, I have earned a bachelors of science degree from the institution. During my time at UCR I developed a passion for the sciences which was taught by dedicated professors who served as my mentors. After being exposed to many professors who have a passion for teaching, I want to also give back to the community in this way.

Before teaching, I worked as a Doctor specializing in Clinical Pathology, including Microbiology. In this work, I studied in-depth the characteristics and life cycles of different microorganisms, including viruses, bacteria, protozoan, and fungi, and performed culture and sensitivity testing of the microorganisms. With my experience in the Clinical Pathology Training Program for 4 years, I decided to teach a Microbiology class, including laboratory, at Lorma Colleges in the Philippines. In this profession, I discovered my true passion: to demystify the perception of Microbiology as being difficult and uninteresting and to teach it as an appealing, fascinating subject. As a former instructor in Microbiology for 3 years, I know the importance of being innovative in teaching in order for students to grasp seemingly complicated topics. Not only did I prepare lesson plans and lectures, b

Easy going, supportive, hard working, direct, open, and encouraging. My style is to find real world experiences to provide examples for learning. This approach stimulates students to actually enjoy chemistry instead of thinking of it as something difficult or uninteresting. I've also found that the carrot approach works much better than the stick. Everyone can make the grade or higher by being encouraged and helped. Teaching 5-10 years of college level organic chemistry, physical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, biology, biochemistry, and intro chemistry. Also, I've served as a full time lab assistant. I've had extensive experience in both designing exams, lecturing, tutoring, and providing special assistance to students. As an attorney, I have always been driven to achieve high levels of excellence in my field. Over the last 20 years I have practiced as a patent attorney in the

I enjoy working with students of all ages. I like to get to know the student I am tutoring and what their individual learning style is like. I adapt to how they learn best and go from there. I am patient, and willing to do what it takes to encourage learning and success. I have always been eager to learn and help others learn as well. I especially love the sciences, but have always loved and excelled in school. I have previous tutoring experience, and love when new opportunities arise. I recently obtained a BS in Biology from Simpson University. This provided me with a significant background in both the sciences and in math. I have tutored high school student math courses, history courses, and science courses.
