Life Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Pringle, SD

I am a fan of the Socratic method of teaching, where students are led to an understanding of the material through a series of questions designed to help them think their own way to the answer. I have significant experience teaching and tutoring over the past 15 years, from the time I began college and was a lab assistant during chemistry labs, through supporting myself through college by tutoring, and finally teaching numerous college and university courses over the last 10 years. I am able to express myself and the concepts being taught very well, and students seem to enjoy my style and enthusiasm. Science and mathematics are the most incredible subjects ever created by humans, and the scientific method is the means by which humans remove or greatly reduce their biases, and thereby arrive at the truth of the underlying reality of the universe. I love to see students suddenly understand

My education focuses on geology, the environmental sciences and includes the arts. One of my main interests is encouraging students to explore the wonderful possibilities available in the many existing scientific fields. My experience is diverse; I’ve held many technical field positions with the government, I spent two years in Panama with the Peace Corps encouraging and teaching poor coffee farmers in sustainable agricultural techniques, and I’ve worked as a volunteer for the National Park Service, The Nature Conservancy and others. I taught English in Panama, I was a tutor for the America Reads Program, and twice I tutored undergraduate women through MentorNet, an online forum encouraging women to pursue science degrees. I enjoy working one on one with students, and will adapt my teaching style to how the student learns and to what he/she finds interesting. My goal as a tutor is to as

I love working and teaching children. I believe that all children can achieve what they set their minds to. All children have different learning styles and I am here to find which learning style best suites each child and work individually with that child so they can seek success. As part of my work and volunteer experiences I have tried many different teaching styles and have had much success with reaching each student. I believe that with guidance students will succeed in their highest potential and I can make a difference in each students life. As a recent college graduate and now a graduate student, I have always had a passion of working with children. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Environmental Education and spent numerous hours and days with children both in the classroom and outside the classroom teaching about the environment, science, and reading. I have worked with all

Prior to changing my undergraduate major to Geography, I was an elementary education major. I have always enjoyed working with students; however, at the time I wanted to try something different and is how I ended up working as a Park Ranger for the National Park Service (NPS). My experiences with NPS have allowed me to teach in an informal setting, by educating the public about their national parks. I also have the opportunity to present curriculum based education programs in grades K-5 about different aspects in NPS. My experiences have also pushed me to start a Masters of Science degree in Biology to further my knowledge. While I was an undergraduate, I was also a teaching assistant for physical geography labs. I have always loved teaching, whether its adults or children. Everyone has their own learning style and teachers need to be able to adapt teaching methods to help all succe

I am a former professional astronomer with experience working for NASA and the Department of the Navy. I have earned graduate and undergraduate degrees in astronomy and physics from the University of Minnesota. With these I have a firm understanding of many areas of math, science and technical writing. I also have a solid background in computer programming resulting from my three years of experience as a web programmer. I have tutored and taught high school and college students in math, astronomy, physics, engineering and statistics. I am passionate about helping teens and young adults learn so they can succeed in life. I enjoy the challenge of discovering, with my students, their unique learning styles and catering my lessons for their success. One-on-one tutoring allows us to explore learning methods that aren't available in a traditional classroom setting. A student that discovers the

I enjoy working with kids of all a ages and skill levels! My passion is working with kids who are special education, or those who need more one on one time. Math was always a struggle for me so I enjoy working with kids who need extra support with math/algebra. I believe each child learns in their own way and it's extremely important to find their learning style and build from it. Each child has the ability to learn we just have to see things through their eyes in order to educate them! I currently work with special education students at a local school. I also work at an after school program to ensure educational activites during the after school hours. I Earned a double major from BHSU in 2008 for Sociology and Human Services with an empahsis in probation and Law enforcement.

I like to utilize the discovery method with a little encouraegment. I sure remember the teacher who helped me out, Don't you? I have a degree from South Dakota School of Mines and Technology in Chemistry and would like to help individuals in math and chemistry to further their education. SDSM&T has a very tough curriculum in math, physics, and chemistry. With my real world experience and education from the mines I have a very good understanding of how to apply real world situations to everyday problems. I am very creative and can communicate on the learning level of the indi

I am open to helping any student, old or young, gain more knowledge. I am very open to teaching anybody who is willing to give the effort to learn the material. I am a very patient, outgoing, and reliable individual. I am a believer in finding anyway to help a student learn the material. Sometimes it takes a different approach with every student. Every student does not learn the same way. Having a person there to help each child learn can go a long way in their future education. I am willing to do whatever it takes to help somebodys future. In college I excelled in my education by helping other students learn the material from class that they did not understand. I have earned one bachelor degree in Biomedical Science. This education has helped me gain tremendous skills in math, biology, chemistry, and reading. I have wrote many laboratory reports, research papers, and english papers that
