Biology is one of my top subjects! B.A. and M.A.in biology with professional experience in laboratories and as editor of science publications.

My style of tutoring is creative flexibility. I assess the student's learning style and try to adapt to that, using different senses (kinetic, aural, oral) to trigger best responses. However, this is layered over a basic multi-part structure suited to the subject. I also like to set up a schedule of what our hour will be like, with some beginning exercises (usually recall from previous session). The rest of the hour would be structured with student input as much as possible. At the end, I like to introduce some free time to talk about the lesson and about any new ideas.
I have a masters degree in Enviornmental Biology and a BA in pre-med sciences. I also have an AA degree in Dietetics. My other hat is a long career in writing, editing, and publishing. So, I am a grammarian and have taught English composition. I have been a substitute teacher for more than eight years in elem ... read more

Biology is one of my top subjects! I have my BS in Interdisciplinary Biology. I can cover anything from Cell Biology to Ecology.

I graduated with my BS in biology from the University of South Florida. I ranged in interest from genetics and cell biology to ecology and botany. Since graduation in 2010, I have worked with the Student Conservation Association, Bureau of Land Management and Forest Service gaining field experience around the western states. I have always had a passion for science and love sharing my knowledge with others. I think science can open peoples eyes to the wonders of the natural world and hope to help people grasp the concepts.
Interactive and understanding.

More About This Tutor...

I believe each child has his or her own style of learning, and part of the joy of teaching is discovering a child's unique way of achieving academic success. I believe a hands-on approach is crucial in mastering and applying new information. I believe all children have the ability to learn when they are given the keys to unlock their learning style. I believe learning should be fun and not frustrating. I know that teachers can have a huge impact in their students' lives. Children need to be encouraged and mentored. I feel blessed to help children unlock their academic potential.
After receiving my teaching credential from Biola University, I eagerly accepted a permanent substitute position at Mission Hills Chrisitian School. The following year, I was asked to teach science along with several other subjects in the junior high school. I thoroughly enjoyed this position for th ... read more

I’m a graduate of Oregon State University with a Bachelors of Science Degree in Business and Marketing Education. I spent most of my working career in business, management and sales. 2009, I returned to my first love, the classroom. I’m currently a substitute teacher in the Washoe County School District, ACE Charter, and some private schools. I hope to soon have a full time teaching position, when a position becomes available. My vast experience of teaching children and young adults hasn’t been in a traditional classroom. The teaching venues I refer to were in the workplace, with young adults (teenagers) as retail employees and an outdoor setting as a Boy Scout Leader. I offer a real life experiences in my teaching methods.
I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. Having spent a lifetime in the business world ... read more

I love helping people achieve their dreams and goals and I have high expectations for all children and adults I am teaching. As an educator I encourage my students to believe in themselves and convince them they have the ability to be successful in whatever they want to achieve. One of my students was struggling with C's and D's for grades and he was getting extra help but he was frustrated. Once or twice a week we would chat about it. I encouraged him to put forth a little more effort and I promised him his studies would get a little easier over time. Sure enough I saw the young man the following year and he came running up to me to tell me he made the honor roll. I never gave up on him and I know I played a part in his success.

I am a parent and I understand that educating our children is a priority. Although challenging, I particularly enjoy working with children, teaching them as well as learning from them. I believe that what makes me a good teacher is my ability to listen, understand a child's outlook on things and my constant focus on challenging traditional teaching styles. I am a believer in visualizing the everyday subject, and I always give memorable examples related to our learning material. Also, I understand that every child's capabilities are different and it is only a matter of adapting to their level of understanding and providing a constructive approach. I like to involve all students in classroom activities, delegate tasks and reward good results. I also share personal experiences from my academic and professional career. At the end of the day, knowing that I made a difference in someone's ... read more

I have had the wonderful pleasure of teaching children for quite some time. Just as I do, each child learns in their own way. I work to find examples from my own educational experiences that will show them that I empathize with their need as well as to help that light bulb go on for them. It is wonderfully fulfilling to see that happen. I have also had the privilege of being married to a piano teacher who teaches one on one and to learn from him and his teaching styles suited to each individual student.
The setting as a Sunday school teacher is different than the usual classroom experience. However, the parents and elders expect results and it is very satisfying to see the children respond with good answers and, especially, with good questions for me. I have learned so very much from my students. I have taught and encouraged little ones from toddlers to 12 years of age, both ... read more

I love helping other students that struggle. Math is easy and I show good examples so others see it visually. Math comes to me easy and I will show others how to cope with math. I like to help show that someone is there to help them understand.
I have tutoring in math since my freshmen year in high school. I took AP calculus in high school and now I'm in math 181. Right now I even tutor other classmates that are struggling in math 181. I do my best to help others understand.

Currently, I am a senior at UNR nearing the completion of a nutrition-dietetics major and psychology minor. From a young age, I was driven to exceed academically, which have positively influenced my success in the classroom. Upon completing a rigorous high school schedule(Scholar's Program:detailed list of required AP/honors classes and greater than a 3.5 GPA), I was well prepared for college. I began tutoring in the 6th grade, focusing primarily on math related concepts. Throughout the years, I have continued to instruct various other grade levels in multiple subjects. Personally, I believe my two strongest subjects are math and writing.
I thoroughly enjoy teaching, especially the satisfaction of watching a student that was previously struggling start to succeed as a result of your time and instruction. I am an extrovert, personable, intelligent, and am not limited to one spe ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I graduated from UNR with a BS in Biology. I have gained experience in both classroom and on-the-field settings. During my undergrad study at UNR I tutored General Biology, General Chemistry and some basic math for about 2.5 years. Since my graduation, 5/2007, I have successfully worked and applied my skills in the corporate/industry world.
During my time spent as a tutor/teacher I learned that I enjoy helping others acheive academic success. Tutoring subjects can sometimes be challenging because each tutoring session may vary. So, I have learned that, in order to be a good tutor and to have a productive tutoring session, preperation and promptness is always crucial. I understand that learning styles and techniques varies from individual to individual. Thus, having an open-mind is always important in order to accomadate for these variations. I think I am a great tutor becau ... read more

I have always enjoyed teaching. I love teaching. I am always available to help children and I never get tired of teaching and helping children. I am always there to answer any question and I encourage students to ask questions. Children love me for my patience, availability and approachability. I treat all children alike and never discriminate. I encourage and help students do their homework and I find and use special techniques to explain difficult and hard to understand topics. I am well educated and I have gained a lot of good ideas about how a teacher should be from my learning experiences. I have taught students of many different grade levels, so I know how to determine a student's strengths and weaknesses very well.

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy teaching and sharing my knowledge and expertise with children as well as adults very much. I have a high degree of patience and respect for students that have been intrusted to me to further their education. I am very easy going and flexible and realize that every person learns at a different pace. I embrace these differences and believe that I am an effective teacher to every type of learner.
I recieved what I believe was an excellent education from the University of Colorado. Although my major was pharmacy, and I am indeed a registered Pharmacist, I have many years of education in the areas of chemistry, biology ad anatomy. I have never formally tutored students professionally, but I have informally tutored pharmacy technicians in the preparation for their state certification exam.
