I like to give a diagnostic test at the first meeting to assess the client's familiarity with the topic, then, customize lessons to fit her or his needs. I aim to build a strong foundation, then, increase difficulty of concepts as client's comfort level with the topic increases. I use materials that are challenging, but not intim ... read more

My teaching style varies, depending on what the individual student needs, but it is always driven by an enthusiasm and verve for education (particularly in science) that I have been told is infectious (not a great thing to say to a biologist, but it's the thought that counts). Learning is most effective when the learner understands the importance of the material to their interests and the world around them. As such, one of my priorities when teaching is finding the relevance of the subject to the student and examining the concepts in the student's context. I tend to shy away from rote memorization, preferring active learning techniques and exercises that develop critical thinking skills, but I am flexible, depending on the student's abilities and response.
I am an evolutionary biologist and paleontologist who has been active in the field for over a decade. I have been a profess ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Throughout many years of tutoring my peers and underclassmen, I have obtained several techniques to help students study effectively. Depend on each individual student and their study habit; I can adjust a specific agenda and curriculum to help strengthen their weakness and excel their strength. I am very patient and fun to be around. For me learning is a combination of fun and hard work. I tend to make the material easier to understand and to captivate their interest in the subject.
I’ve graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biology in 2009. My Biology coursework has centered on theory, problem solving and critical thinking. I have taken multiple Biology, Chemistry, Physic, Math and Psychology classes which have enabled me to improve my knowledge and understanding of the subject. I have also taken various computer skills, writing, and test taking classes that can prepare s ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a visual and hands on teaching style. I do believe that students learn better by doing labs and seeing demonstrations, not by just hearing lectures. My students thoroughly enjoy my demonstrations and labs. My goal is to do whatever it takes to ensure that my students are working to their maximum potential.
I have 5 years experience as a Biology, Chemistry, and now, a Physical Science teacher on the high school and middle school levels. I have gained a valuable understanding about the needs of our young people. I believe that all students are capable of learning anything, some just have different learning styles. I have met with different students and tried (quite successfully) to gear my lessons to the needs of all students. In my classes, it is my goal to make sure that every student understands the lessons.

More About This Tutor...

As a tutor, I believe that one needs to be patient, understanding, and persistent. In addition, it is important that a tutor caters to the student's style of learning. I am creative and willing to try different teaching methods with students. I believe that each student has an individual and unique way of learning and it is up to the tutor to invest time in learning students' strengths and weaknesses.
My academic experience has shaped me into a hardworking and ambitious student. As a pre-medical student, I double majored in Psychology and Middle Eastern Studies which has allowed me to establish a diverse background in the sciences and humanities. Moreover, I have gained valuable writing and analytical skills. As a native Arabic speaker, I am able to read, write, and speak the Arabic language fluently. In the past, I have tutored students in Arabic, Biology, Psychology, Mathematics, ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

From second semester freshman year I have tutored mathematics and chemistry. First it was at the campus learning center at Westminster College, then I went on to pursue a graduate degree in chemistry at Penn State University where I found that I like to teach more than I wanted to be a PhD Chemist, I was a teaching assistant for both Physical Chemistry Lab and General Chemistry for non-majors. It was this teaching experience that led me to tutor for the PSU Ag Science department in both chemistry and mathematics. I have also volunteer tutored at State College High School.
I try to put the difficult concepts of mathematics and chemistry into words and experiences that the student can understand. In the words of one of my tutees I teach "Barney-Style". In other words I talk in words they can understand whether I'm tutoring a 4th grader or a college student. It is my goal to mak ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I believe educators, teachers, counselors, principals are the providers, directors, and managers of complex systems of care. In other words, they are the backbone of the educational industry. While working as an Assistant Director of Education, I have learned to be more effective as a teacher. I have been teaching for past seven years and I have taught all age groups and subjects like, English, Math, Sciences, test preps, etc. My degree in Biology has helped me in my analytical skills and communication ability.
I love working with kids and it's my inner passion to teach. I have developed patience’s working with children and I like to teach as a mentor/friend. My main focus is students' needs and goals, and the willingness to explore their strengths. I believe that every child has the capability to learn and they just need a little guidance.

More About This Tutor...

I hold a BS in Cell Biology and Molecular Genetics from the University of Maryland, College Park and a MS in Genetics from the University of Maryland School of Medicine. I work in a large University Hospital seeing patients with genetic issues. My work involves taking complex scientific information and breaking it down so that it is easy to understand. I also spend time lecturing to medical students and residents. So basically, I am a science person with excellent people skills!
Teaching is probably my favorite part of my job! I am passionate about science and love to share this interest with others. I am extremely patient and very hard working. One of my strengths is that I can tell whether or not somebody understands the information and can explain things as many different ways as needed until it "clicks." I am upbeat, friendly, and get along with virtually everyone I meet ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I began tutoring in high school, mostly focusing in math subjects including algebra, geometry and calculus. I continued tutoring my peers while at the University of Oxford in England, and at Georgetown University as a post-graduate. I excelled in my science programs at both universities, allowing me to teach others. Most of my college tutoring or peer assistance focused in chemistry, biology, and physiology or other natural sciences. I gained experience with lesson planning and teaching younger students as a Sunday School teacher for preschool to middle school classes over three years. I have extensive writing experience from high school as editor-in-chief of our school publication, and throughout college in essays, dissertations and other reports. I have experience with all different kinds of testing environments and styles between English and American universities, and can help s ... read more

Currently, I have my BS in Microbiology from University of MD college Park and Two Associate Degree (General Education and Pre-Med) from Prince Georges community College Where I was an Honor student. Since my High school senior year, I have been part of STUDENTS TUTORING group, a group made of senior students who performed very well in a specific subject, and members of the group spent two hours per week helping a classmate with his/her homework. This technique has been proved very successful. In addition, as Teaching Assistant during my 4th year at the University of Lome (TOGO in West Africa) I held discussion sections for lower level in microbiology.
My preferred or favorite teaching technique is the student-focused teaching. Such method of teaching helps students meet their full potential one at the time. It considers each student level of learning and understanding by c ... read more

I have been teaching Anatomy and Physiology at Washington Adventist University, Takoma Park, MD for the past year after graduating with a masters degree from Andrews University, MI. I have a bachelors degree in Biology with a minor in mathematics. I have been teaching and tutoring since my freshman year in college. My strength is science/math which is also my passion.
Even though I've taught college students all my life, I actually love working with children as well. I am a very patient person, and I am also compassionate and easy to get along with. I believe as a teacher I am responsible to train my students in their fields to make them competitive and knowledgeable. I do not give up when I have difficult students, I try to learn their behavior instead and work with them. The world needs good educators to make a difference in the life of the student and others around.
