Genetics Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Smithfield, VA

I have a relaxed, stress-free teaching style, while staying on task and topic. I make sure the pupils really understand the material by breaking things down to the basics, and reviewing the foundations. After reviewing and application of the concepts, I have my students switch roles and "teach" me the material. I believe if you can explain the material to someone else, you really understand it. I double-majored in biology in chemistry in undergrad, so the field of science and medicine is my first love and my strength. I have also received a Masters of Public Health Degree in Epidemiology, and have since completed my 2nd year of medical school. I have always had a strong affinity for math and english as well. I have a published thesis paper that was constructed and presented as required for my masters curriculum. I have been tutoring since I was in high school, and have tutored elementary

I have over 10 years of experience in the education field with a special love for tutoring Mathematics. My experience is extensive as I ran my own tutoring business for 3 years doing mostly freelance work in college. The unique thing about my experience is that I have tutored ages 8-28 through my many recipients. I have a knack for getting children and adults excited to learn whether it is through motivation outside the subject area, or showing them that they can in fact do this. My teaching style is upbeat and positive. If I cannot be excited for my subject areas. Why should any student I tutor?

I have tutoring experience in the field of virology and viral/cell genetics (at the graduate level). My teaching philosophy was to have the student come in very prepared with questions/comments about the areas that were troubling them. I then went through area of study by area of study, and explained in the simplest terms the background, reasoning, and philosophy behind the science. I am a recent graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University with a PhD in Microbiology and Immunology. I have dedicated my life to the study of microorganisms and have been a contributor to the field since 2003. I graduated from Virginia Tech in 2005, where I obtained a wealth of experience and knowledge of biology, with an emphasis on biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology. I carried on my studies at VCU in the Fall of 2005, where I mastered the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in the field

My teaching style consists of incorporating all learning styles of most people in order to achieve the highest level of comprehension in course subjects. I believe that most students gain the best understanding when they are required to use their auditory skills, while visualizing the information, and writing the information for the practice of kinesthetic learning. It is imperative that the learning environment is entertaining yet informative so that the students view the learning process as fun. Any additional learning techniques or styles may be applied to accommodate all children in need. I have worked for Norfolk City Public Schools and Virginia Beach City Public Schools as a substitute teacher for approximately six years. During that period I performed a multitude of jobs including long term substitute positions, teaching high school physics, and performed tasks far beyond the para

A good teacher encourages students to think and analyze and not to accept the information passively. With this objective in mind, I combine class room teaching with interactive sessions.The learning styles and capabilities of the students vary. So I incorporate different methods of teaching.It is important that the students understand the concepts and principles thoroughly.I want the students to solve some of the problems while they are with me to make sure that they have grasped the principles.I prefer to create an environment that motivates the students. I have a special skill in dealing with students who have attention deficiency.I am patient and considerate and I will be happy to offer extra attention and coaching to slow learners.

I am a very patient person that believes in sticking with something until the student fully understands it. It may take a variety of techniques, rephrasing or working through examples, but I believe if you are dedicated there is nothing you cannot learn as a student. I graduated from Union College in June of 2008 with a BS in Biology. Due to hard work and dedication, I received my BS in three years instead of four. I have been substitute teaching for almost a year for many different grade levels. As of recently, I have been tutoring students in mathematics.
