Candice J - Knoxville, TN 37914 (21.8 mi) - Marine Biology Tutor - $36.50/hr.
I find that there is something fascinating that we encounter on a daily basis. I enjoy bringing those events to light, and fostering student interest in the world around us. Whether it is a physical phenomenon, an inquiry into a scientific question, or a piece of literature, I believe that the relationship that is developed between the material and the learner is the tool through which real learning occurs. It is my goal to garner curiosity, present knowledge and provide insight so that students may govern their own thought process to learning. I believe that this is what leads to true education, and not simply the memorization of facts. Since a child, I have always been curious of the world around me. My interests culminated with the completion of two degrees in the natural sciences. I consider myself a true inter-disciplinarian, supplementing both my degrees with courses in applied sci

Emily A - Knoxville, TN 37917 (25 mi) - Marine Biology Tutor - $39.00/hr.
I believe in inquiry based learning, or teaching any subject by incorporating the student's natural curiosity and drawing connections to their interests. I don't taking a long time to teach a student how to approach a single problem or concept and foster their understanding of the material so that they will understand how to approach the problem on their own. In other words, I put energy into explaining why they should do something so that they can reason through it themselves in a test situation. I am currently a PhD candidate in Ecology at the University of Tennessee Knoxville. Throughout my education and short career I have developed teaching skills through tutoring, teaching labs to middle school students, mentoring high school students and giving informational talks on environmental issues to the public. I enjoy teaching and I feel that I have a gift for explaining science and math

Robert C - Knoxville, TN 37921 (28.5 mi) - Marine Biology Tutor - $56.00/hr.
I have been a full-time (and quite busy) professional tutor for the past five years. I currently work as an independent tutor through The Tutor Connection and Wyzant, as well as my personal tutoring service. While living in California in 2007, I was employed by the San Diego Board of Education as a tutor for the AVID program, a group style tutoring initiative to assist high school students with difficulties and increase their motivation to learn. Upon my return to Knoxville, before becoming a full-time private tutor, I tutored U.T. student athletes as an employee of the University of Tennessee. When I was in grammar school, high school, and college, I regularly tutored my friends in areas they had difficulty with. Through experience and research, I have developed a tutoring style that has helped countless students achieve unmeasured success. My students usually respond very well to my

David Casey D - Knoxville, TN 37919 (31 mi) - Marine Biology Tutor - $37.00/hr.
I have an indepth understanding for biological and ecological processes. The elementary principles of biology were instilled in me as a student, and I have an affinity for remembering how the complex nature of many microbiological and chemical processes occur. I can review and convey those ideas and theories to students in the same way I was taught. During my time as a student at LMU and UT, I have become very comfortable with public speaking and conveying complex scientific principles and methods to demonstrate my research findings. Once I martriculated to the University of Tennessee to start my Masters program, I was often invited to teach about fish and aquatic insects and riverine dynamics and ecology, to elementary and high school kids during "Kids in the Creek" events. I have many experiences where I would teach ecological and biological theory to children, and discussed with them

David M - Louisville, TN 37777 (37.2 mi) - Marine Biology Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I believe that each person should strive to find their calling in life and that a good education provides opportunity for each one to explore their individual passions and talents. It is through individual instruction tailored to the needs of each person that students are able to succeed. My goal is to guide students through aspects of the curriculum with which they are struggling so that they may have an opportunity to succeed. I am a recent graduate with a Bachelor's degree in biology and chemistry followed by a Master's degree in plant pathology and have a passion for biology, math, and statistics. I have had lifelong leadership experience working with children ages 9 through 18, first as a camp counselor in high school and later as a tutor in biology, chemistry, basic math, and algebra. Several years into a research oriented academic career I began to miss teaching opportunities and
