Earth Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in San Antonio, TX

I have worked in a wide variety of socioeconomic school settings, which makes me quite versatile when it comes to my approach to teaching. I start from the ground-up, first forming a cognitive scaffold for a subject by teaching the very basics. From there we branch off into more and more complex tasks. I have experience with graphic design and animation programs and love to use technology aids whenever possible. When all else fails I draw upon knowledge the student already possesses and attempt to form analogous models that are easier to understand. I have had experience in the classroom teaching the three major sciences (physics, chemistry, and biology) at the high school level and also did an apprenticeship as part of a graduate program for UT Health Science Center at San Antonio. My combined experience allows me to construct learning models based on analysis of individual students

I hold a Masters in Mathematics and a Bachelors in Molecular Biology. My teaching certification is EC-6 and just added ESL certified. I am a certified teacher and have been teaching for 8 years in elementary school. I began my teaching career by accident leaving the law enforcement field to work initially part-time as a teacher. However I really enjoyed working with children and found that I was good at it. Over the years it has been nice to hear both parents, teachers, and children comment that I have made a difference in their lives and that I have helped make them the young people that they are shaping to be. Many children and parents have said that while I was tough I have helped them stay in school and become A students. This motivates me to continue to do my best in my job and for the kids. I believe all children learn at there own style and pace and that we as teachers need to

Let me know what doesn't work for you, and I will definitely adapt to what might work. I am very knowledgable in most biological sciences, and have loved doing the work that it takes to make good grades in each of them. I have had the pleasure of helping many students reach the same success, and look forward to doing so for others. Professionally, I have worked with children with and without disabilities to give them the skills needed to become better learners-and have tutored both high school aged children and college students.

My classes are by no means easy, I prepare my students for life, even if that means having students leave my class with “their head hurting” because they had to think too much. I believe my ultimate philosophy has been that learning should hurt a little bit. If the classroom environment is not provocative, controversial, and challenging, I think the teacher has fallen short of his or her task. On the other hand, I am not afraid of being down-to-earth, funny, or look unusual if I have to do so. I have extensive work experience and knowledge in the areas of Adult Education and Literacy, teaching English as a Second Language, Math and Science. I would like to share my enthusiasm for these subjects, and education in general. My teaching experiences in Adult Education and Literacy at Northside ISD, San Antonio Texas have allowed me to work with students from diverse backgrounds. During my te

I design the lesson to the learning preference of the student. I incorporate technology, visual, tactile and kinesthetic teaching styles. This gives the student the maximum opportunity to learn. If a student is having trouble with reading comprehension there are various skill sets a child learns in order to help with standardized tests. I have experience in that area. An understanding of literary elements can also enhance a child's understanding of literature and reading. The ultimate goal is for the child to be able to read for gaining information, but also understanding of the world and experiences around them and from other people. In my last three years of teaching I was the Inclusion/Resource teacher, however, I also worked with some Life-Skills students, as well as doing some 4th grade co-teaching. I am comfortable in working with at-risk students and understand the importa

In 2008, as an upper-level English major, I accepted a position with Schreiner University wherein I hoped to use my education in the concentration of composition. For the rest of my college career until I earned my B.A., I tutored fellow students at various stages of the writing process, from conceptualization to polishing. I also met frequently with fellow tutors to discuss researched tutoring theory and tactics. Having achieved great success in this position, my supervisor, the director of Schreiner's Writing Center, also personally arranged much contract work for me with clients of various ages and levels of education. In my experience as a tutor, I have acquired the highly important skill of adaptability. Certainly, particular techniques and strategies such as asking provocative questions are helpful with any student of any age. More importantly, though, I have learned that the be

I truly enjoy working with individuals at all levels. I feel that all people can learn and that they just need to be shown that science is not too difficult, but very interesting especially if you put the time in. The best value that any person can achieve is a great education because when all is said and done that is something that can never be taken away from you. I strive to affect as many students as possible during my time in education. I want to be one of the people that my student's think back to as the person that enabled them to enjoy science. I graduated from St. Mary's University with two science bachelor's degrees. I have both a bachelor's in biology and chemistry. I tutored organic chemistry while I was a student. I found that I enjoyed helping people understand difficult subjects.I also attended UTSA and graduated with a Master's degree in biology with a concentratio

I love passing my knowledge onto students. I am passionate about science and I teach enthusiastically. I try to incorporate a lot of real world examples into the lessons so the students relate. I am patient with students who struggle and I go to great lengths to make sure that the students understand what I am teaching. I have had much experience teaching chemistry at the university level. I have also had a lot of experience tutoring high school students in math, physics and chemistry. I have also had a lot of research experience and this has given me a firm basis of applied knowledge which helps me to understand and convey the implications of what I am teaching.

I believe everyone can learn, but we all learn in different ways. Once we recognize our gifting, (we all are gifted in specific ways) we can experience success and power throught learning. As an educator I have the priviledge to build and create working and molding human souls that will also do the same as they experience, and this is the beauty of teaching and also learning. I have been a student and an educator all my life. I have successfully taught for about 5 years in the U.S.A. and also overseas. I have a very strong background in Science and teaching any subject in many areas of science is my delight. I am also certified and qualified to teach Spanish at any level, not only because Spanish is my native language, but because I have studied at a higher level in both languages, English and Spanish. I have an extensive background in the Spanish language. I have done studies at the

Whether it is in front of a class of 40 or one-on-one, I have been endowed not only with the talent to teach, but also with the God-given ability to motivate. Most students hate my guts for the first week or two because I do not tolerate underachievement from anyone, including parents; but down the line the most frequent evaluation I receive is, “Mr. C, you are awesome.” There is no one who cannot be motivated to learn something well; and I always associate what must be learned with what a student's passion is or in what he/she is already interested. My students do not just learn the subject I teach. They learn how to learn and think "out of the box" and how to become a success. My teaching credentials are in English and education. However... At the middle school level and high school level, I have taught/tutored English composition, geography, history, soci

My teaching style is best described as adaptable to the unique learning styles of students. One of the best methods I employ is modeling, using multiple examples that students can understand and apply to their subject. I work at creating an environment conducive to productive learning that is fun because I believe learning is a lifelong privilege. I believe once a student finds the key to unlocking the secret to learning, they will flourish and find an appetite for discovery. After graduating from college, I began my teaching career in middle school using Abeka curriculum for two years, and then stayed home after having my first child. For the next 16 years I remained at home raising four children, nurturing, educating and home schooling them at times. In 1998, I returned to the classroom and taught 5th grade until 2006, again using the Abeka curriculum each year. After I moved to

Working with kids is my fascination. I believe that teaching children should not be standing up and lecturing or simply explaining something. Its about getting to know the students, making the students feel important and unique in their own special way and most importantly I believe a teacher should be a role model. The teacher must adjust his or her teaching approach to the way the student will learn what’s being taught to them not the other way around. Everything should be done in the interest of the children and their academic success. All students are different and they all have different learning styles. It is the teacher’s duty to find out what leaning style the student holds and target that teaching approach. Working hard and always driven is how I was able to obtain a Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies with a concentration in Bilingual 4th – 8th grade. Sul Ross State

My emphasis is class discussion. I engage students to participate in class and in small group projects. I offer one on one tutoring outside of class I orchestrate mentoring to enable those who have a command of the material to offer support to those who may need additonal guidance outside of class. My role is to share my knowledge and always be willing to learn new teaching strategies. I work well with peers to improve teaching techniques and share ideas. As a professor at DeVry University I offered tutoring to my students on weekends for those who did not have a background in life sciences.As a part time professor at Everest College Medical Assisting Program I taught back office skills, physiology, medical ethics and medical termiology. The class memebers often required additional instruction outside of class which I was glad to offer during my office hours. As a part time professor
