Elementary Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Reform, AL

I have tutored kids at my Church whenever someone has needed help. I am very patient and understanding of how frustrating certain topics can be, so I know I am a great candidate for tutoring. I am exceptionally great with younger kids who have ADD or ADHD since I have struggled with that myself. I know exactly how it feels to have a hard time focusing, so I would really be able to help any child with this struggle.

I used my skills as a librarian to encourage students to explore and enjoy books. We explored different types of literature genres, researched using the computer, and utilized the reference books in our library. My goal was to help struggling readers overcome their hesitation to read and explore different avenues of information sources. I have been a school librarian/media specialist for 26 years. I have worked with students in grades K-12. My role as a librarian enabled me to interact with students of all learning levels. Students who struggled would come to me to find materials that they could understand more easily. During times that I did not have classes in the library, I was usually assigned to tutor students who were in the low percentile groups based on MCT scores. I helped them with language, reading, and math.

I love teaching because of the feeling of helping someone who is truly struggling in class! I believe that everyone can learn, but some teachers styles don't match up with the students learning style. I am a very patient and considerate person. I am a firm believer that many students can't learn strictly through theory and need to be walked through example problems. Walking through problems gives them a better visualization of what they are trying to solve. As a recent college graduate, I understand the high expectations and the stress that it can cause a college student, especially coming from a school where most professors expected students to teach themselves concepts. I have earned my BS in Mechanical Engineering which has enabled me to gain understanding in math and science. I have experience in tutoring students in mathematics, physics 1 and thermodynamics.

I am a driven individual who has obtained a Masters in Social Work with a concentration in Child Welfare in addition to a BA in Psychology with a minor in Sociology. While attending graduate school I worked as a substitute teacher which allowed me to gain experience working with children of various ages and levels. I enjoy working with children and families and being able to positively impact and enrich their lives. For the past 7 years I have taught psycho-educational groups, in my most recent place of employment I worked hands on with young adults helping them develop independent living skills. I am fluent in Spanish as I grew up speaking the language in addition to some formal education to improve on grammar and spelling. I enjoy being able to work with children and being able to positively impact their lives whether that be through empowering them to succeed or teaching new skills.

I teach by talking to the student, finding what they relate to and using that information in correlation with their studies to help them better understand the subject. As well as using simple steps to solve a larger problem, breaking down a problem into smaller ones helps a student to solve something one step at time. I’m looking forward to helping our future leaders. I am a graduate of a major university and have several degrees: BS in Clothing, Merchandising and Textiles, AA in Political and Economic Science, as well as two minors, one in General Business and the other in Communications. They have all enabled me to learn and understand a wide range of different areas: English, math, science, accounting, and writing. Also I am well versed in History. In my college experience I have had to accomplish writing successful papers, understand general math as well as business math, I can bri

As a recent college graduate, I understand the time and commitment it takes to achieve success in school. I earned a bachelor degree in chemistry with a minor in liberal arts. As a member of the chemistry honor society, I tutored students in chemistry during my college career. I love helping people achieve their goals. I try to find things that the kids enjoy and incorporate those things into my teaching style. I give the students plenty of time to figure out the answer and do not get frustrated with them if it takes them awhile. When the students get a correct answer, I praise them and try to boost their confidence.

I understand the math and science are often difficult for students to comprehend. Many teenagers and young adults feel like they will never use this knowledge in "real life" applications. Thus, when teaching this subjects, I try to draw parallels to real life applications. Often students are surprised to learn that science and math is all around them. I feel that this teaching strategy helps the student understand the applications of science and math instead of simply memorizing the formulas, structures, etc. I have been tutoring for a little over 2 years for both a company and private clients. The tutoring company specializes in under privileged students via the No Child Left Behind Act. I normally tutor high school students in science, basic math, and English/literature for this company. Additionally, I tutor college students in nursing chemistry and general chemistry, where typicall

I have a BS in Microbiology from the University of Alabama which includes Inorganic Chemistry (one year), Organic Chemistry (one year), and Biochemistry (one year) plus associated labs. As far as teaching experience goes,...I taught my three children for a total of 6 years, covering grades K-5. I believe that the most important part of teaching is to find a way to communicate a concept to the individual learner. This may include presenting the concept to the student using several different teaching styles in order to confirm that the learner understands the concept.

I enjoy working with all students. I believe the greatest experience is learning from the students. All children are unique and have different views of recieving what is being taught. I believe that it is my duty to seek ways to help that child reach his/her highest potenials. I demand high expectations and values from each student. I have a driven determination in providing my best to each student. I may not reach all as desired but, it is my goal to provide my best. I have two years experience as a special education teacher in an inclusive setting and as a resource teacher. I am very compassionate about helping students to achieve and to believe that " if anybody else can do it, I can do it to." I have tutored in my church tutorial program and for the Metropolitian Certified Teachers Program; where we provided services for struggling students to improve their scores on the SAT

I understand that learning should be student-centered and not teacher-centered. I am aware that learning is centered around the student, and I take the opportunity to understand that student's learning style. Once I am aware of that student's learning style, then I can use appropriate teaching methods to introduce materials. I am a caring, patient, considerate teacher. My goal is for every child to learn successfully. I graduated from Stillman College with a BS in Biology. In addition, I was a Howard Hughes Medical Research Intern where I gained hands-on experience in a research laboratory that focused on Cardiovascular diseases. After graduating from college, I started my career in Education by teaching science courses at Green County High School. I love helping others learn about science. During my two years teaching, I tutored many of my students after school. Currently, I am gaining

As a graduate of a small junior college I believe one on one teaching gives students the advantage over a large group because the child can receive the necessary attention for learning skills in reading, writing and math. Many children learn differently some are visual learners,some are audio etc. I have been instructed through various techniques in reading with chilldren that will help them achieve a higher reading level of success. I am a hands on person where math is concerned allowing the child to use mannipulatives. Taking time to explain until they understand. In reading we can do shared reading and other techniques. I have a great joy working with children because most of them are eager to learn. Along with patience and proper instruction I am a firm believer the scores will be achieved without the child feeling diappointed. I believe through visual picture walks and other tech
