B.S. in Science (Life Science Option) from Penn State University; Psych courses included: Introductory Psychology, Positive Psychology, Health Psychology (400 lvl), Abnormal Psychology (400 lvl), and Forensic Psychology (400 lvl). I graduated from Penn State University in the Fall of 2010, earning my B.S. in Science (Life Science Option). My degree very closely related to the typical Biology degree; however, mine afforded me the ability to specifically tailor my upper level courses to focus more heavily on Anatomy, Physiology, Psychology, and medically related Biology courses. While in college I worked as a tutor for Penn State and I also earned my paramedic certification and have nearly three years experience working in the field as a paramedic, allowing me to bring real world (medical) applications to many of the basic sciences. I moved to Henderson, NV recently to begin medical school

I have experience teaching individuals of all ages. I have been working with various tutoring companies since May. Furthermore, I have taught numerous children how to read and do basic math. I have tutored many of my classmates in various subjects including psychology, English, biology, and algebra since high school. I facilitate day treatment groups teaching severely emotionally disturbed children social skills, behavior management, and life skills. These children also have a range of diagnoses such as autism or ADHD. I helped provide group and individual reading instruction for adults with developmental disabilities for a year. During this time I also supervised clients and helped teach arts, theater, and dance classes for adults with developmental disabilities. I used to be a church nursery teacher where I taught basic gospel principles to children 18 months through three years old. I

My teaching style is progressive. I believe education should be entertaining, however not entertainment. I enjoy challenging my students, however to do this effectively it is important that they remain engaged. One of the ways in which I do this is to encourage students to think creatively. Creativity is the key to success with education. Not only does it foster confidence and positive self-esteem, creativity keeps the brain on its toes, so to speak, by continually challenging students’ abilities and forcing students to expand beyond their academic comfort zone. Teaching students to develop new ways to solve problems generates the confidence needed to succeed not only in school but also in life. My interest in becoming a tutor stems from my life long passion for teaching and learning. Throughout the past eight years, I have focused my efforts on soaking up my education and research exper

Recently I have been teaching at Nevada State College (Microbiology and Intro to Biology classes). While earning my graduate degree at Auburn University, I taught Human Anatomy and Physiology labs to undergraduate students. As a result of small class sizes, I was able to give students individual attention and encouragement. In addition, I have an undergraduate degree in Psychology and Spanish. Training in these disciplines has provided me with the ability to relate well with many types of personalities and with students from various cultural backgrounds. When people ask me what I want to do with my life, I say that I want to save the world, and I believe that teaching is one way that I can work toward that goal. Teaching, for me, is an opportunity to reach out to students and get them excited about science and the world in which we live. As a young girl, I stayed away from science, af

I recently graduated from the University of Colorado with a bachelor's degree in architecture which allowed me to be very understanding of math and science while also gaining a strong inclination to creativity. I taught swimming lessons and tennis lessons to children for five years and I previously worked at a summer day camp for kids ages 3-13. I am CPR and Red Cross certified, and I have a great passion for working with children. I took advanced placement English and math classes in high school and in college I used my electives towards classes such as creative writing, economics, psychology, and education classes. As I complete my teaching certification and masters of education at UNLV, I hope to help children through school by becoming a tutor. I come from a family of seven children, four of them younger than me, and three of them adopted from the Philippines. Growing up in this

Academics have always been a primary focus in my life, but having balance is essential. To maintain balance, I actively take part in extracurricular community service with under-served persons of all ages and ethnicities.

I graduated from the University of Nevada Las Vegas in 2007 with a BA in communication studies. The curriculum at UNLV has given me a solid foundation in both my written and verbal communication skills. I also completed the gerontology program as well in 2007. I have been involved with senior theater programs, and I am currently mentoring for a non-profit organization. The program is for senior men who are 55 years of age, and are trying to obtain a GED and re-enter the workforce. I also have two young children that are currently in 2nd. and 3rd. grade. I tutor them on a daily basis as well. I thoroughly enjoy working with the elderly population and children as well. If given the opportunity, I would prefer to work with older clientel.

As a recent college graduate, I uphold and advocate the educational experience as an essential part of life. It not only expands our mental capabilities, but also builds confidence into individuals. Both bachelor degrees that I have earned have done just that. My BA in Journalism and Media Studies has enhanced my writing and grammatical skills, while my BA in Political Science has deepened my analytical and logic skills. I have put these abilities into practice while tutoring for the last two years in English, reading comprehension, and social studies classes. My teaching style can be described in two words: persistent and patient. I believe that the reason why a student may seem disinterested in education is due to fear of not understanding the subject, embarrassment of failure, and/or lack of self-motivation or focus. But all of these can be overcome with a persistent tutor who does no

I look on teaching as a learning experience.I learn from my students, from their input and work on it, what I give is based on my student,s knowledge which I learn with patient effort.I start by letting the student tell me all thereby revealing his/her knowledge of the subject.Then I work to improve on their needs based on their knowledge. While doing my Bachelor's in Economics I was tutoring at a nearby college. My subjects were English, Social studies, Biology and Chemistry. My recent tutoring experience involves my own children, both of whom I tutored in every subject up to the seventh grade. Except for Arithmetic, I still help my son in High School with other subjects.

From the moment I entered high school, I had a thirst for knowledge. Even though I was already attending the top private school in Atlanta, I wanted to ensure the maximum level of achievement. Therefore, I applied to the top boarding school in the country, Phillips Exeter Academy, and was granted admission! After high school, I attended the independant ivy, Wesleyan University, where my learning continued, not only in the classroom, but also outside of the classroom. I became a mentor and a tutor during my junior year. I am pleased to say that I am still on the journey of achieving a stellar eduaction, but more importantly, I am utilizing and enjoying my skills in sharing knowledge with others. My tutoring has progressed and remained a large part on my life. I would like to continue on this path to educate the world! As a teacher, I like to inspire the student to be the best that they ca

I am a patient person and I feel that is very important in any learning environment. I believe in empowering all students to strive for their best potential, I feel there is no such thing as "failure" but there is a thing called "feedback". I have a lot of empathy for children. In addition children can learn anything if we break it down into bits and pieces. I have been a substitute teacher for the school district for 4years now. I have taught in a variety of settings including, but not limited to severe special ed, autism, ADHD, K-6 grades in diversifed settings.
