High School Marine Biology Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Solana Beach, CA

I have been a credentialed teacher for 4 years. I work primarily with students with moderate/severe disabilities. Previously, I was a teacher's aid, tutor and daycare worker. I am credentialed in both general education and special education. I have experience working with a wide variety of learners in all subject areas. I have worked with students who are simply trying to get ahead in school, students who are falling behind and need homework help, students who are about to be retained, to students who are significantly delayed and are on their own curriculum program. My special education background allows me to support all levels of students and support different learning styles. I prefer to provide students with hands on and/or visual tools during learning when possible. I like to make the educational topic meaningful and interesting to the student.

I have a passion for marine biology and all things ocean-related and hold a bachelors degree in marine science, a field in which I've worked for 10 years. I have taught marine ecology as a naturalist at sea from kayaks in Puget Sound, paddling with orcas, and from an educational research vessel off Dana Point at the Ocean Institute. I taught marine bio and oceanography at Carlsbad High School and currently work as an environmental planner on Camp Pendleton. I live in Encinitas with my husband and daughter.

My preferred teaching style is applied learning where I encourage involvement with the lesson (ie:bringing in senses of touch, sight, smell as well as action (hikes, etc.) to capture the essence of what is being taught in addition to literature. My initial interest was terrestrial and behavioral ecology from a course in wildlife management I attended in Kenya, East Africa, with The School for Field Studies. After Kenya, the majority of my work experience and interest shifted to marine sciences, conservation and fisheries management. I started out as an intern/naturalist onboard a whale watcher where I gave guided talks to the public. Following my masters, I was a National Marine Fisheries Observer under the NMFS/NOAA office at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, collecting data for use in management of gillnet and trawl fisheries out of Gloucester, MA. After spending time around the cold

I received my B.Sc. in Biology with a marine emphasis in 2012 with an overall gpa of 3.7. I have conducted marine science research with the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (La Jolla, CA), the Shannon Point Marine Center (Anacortes, WA), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA, La Jolla, CA). I worked for NOAA for a year in a marine mammal genetics lab following graduation from university. While in school, I was a TA for a Marine Invertebrate Zoology and a Marine Vertebrate Zoology course. I tutored marine science students for 2 years. Studied marine biology for 4 years at university, completing three summer research programs with three well-known marine institutions. During the summer of 2010, I interned with the Scripps Institution of Oceanography creating 3-dimensional models of an endangered species of coral (Acropora palmata) in order to gain better estimate

I am a recent graduate of the University of California at Davis. I graduated with a B.S. in Biological Sciences with an emphasis in marine biology. I am familiar with a myriad of lab techniques and protocol, and proficient in all levels of computer programs (word,excel,outlook,powerpoint,etc.). Prior to moving to San Diego, I interned for the Bodega Bay Marine Lab, under the supervision of the Aquatic Resource Group (ARG) for two year. My daily duties consisted of, but were not limited to: field research and collection, lab research, lab maintenance, construction of novel aquaculture paradigms, input for design of new research techniques, and overseer of organism welfare (feeding, tank cleaning, transportation). Though my specialties are in marine biology, I am grounded in all fields of sciences due to my course work at the university level. As mentioned above, I am well v

I have experience teaching and tutoring at various levels and locations, including several countries. Am flexible as to learning materials and methods depending on your time, availability, budget and resources. My main concern is how YOU can learn and retain better. Each student must understand (before integrating) their own strengths and weaknesses into their study skills and become a systematic achiever. I will assist and teach you how to empower yourself in the chosen topics. You will gain confidence in what you know (where you can excel), who you are (what drives you), what you really want (what profession/path/trade inspires you), and how to get where you want to be by creating and implementing a step to step plan to your goal(s)/success.

Most difficult subjects are so because of apprehensions or stigmas one might form throughout his/her experiences. I make learning fun and can break down mental barriers one might have by relating the abstract material to concrete real-world examples. I love teaching others and helping them excel at difficult subjects such as mathematics, chemistry and physics. With my broad background I can relate to almost any individual and find the right approach to teaching difficult subjects in a manner he/she will understand.

I have recently completed my MBA at national University. I currently teach high school part time at a alternative high school. This recent experience provided me with opportunity to work with students in a one-on-one basis as well as familiarize myself with every core class offered in the high school program. I feel I can comfortably teach French as I studied French in Montreal when I lived there. I speak the language fluently. I also feel I can teach k-12 Science classes, specifically Biology and Earth Science. I have a Master's Degree in Business and am comfortable in any area of instruction in business. I have also owned and managed several businesses and have real world experience to share as examples. I feel I learn as much as I teach. I value every student that I have the opportunity to work with. I have learned some students just need to overcoming their dislike of a subject.

I have a BS in biology. I have also taken the MCAT's which display a high level of knowledge of biology, chemistry, physics, math, reading comprehension, verbal expression. I have tutored students in sciences and math from middle school level all the way through college. I love to provide a challenging and inspirational environment with students. I'm very patient, use a variety of approaches to studying, and like to include life analogies and philosophies to engage the students with the material. I have found that the bringing out confidence in students and enabling them with a high level of self sufficiency is the key to their learning success, in class as well as in life.

During high school I acquired my first teaching position. I figure skated as a hobby and had been working at my local ice rink for three years. A position opened up for an assistant coach. I helped teach skating classes for toddlers up to the elderly. It was a very rewarding experience. I taught classes for that ice rink for two years until I left for college. In college I helped tutor my lab partners and classmates. Still I did not expect that I would enjoy teaching as much as I do. When I came to San Diego as a graduate student, I wanted to take a position as a Teaching Assistant for financial reasons, but when I started the position, I found it to be the most rewarding job I have ever had. I have been a teaching assistant ever since, teaching all three quarters of my graduate career. I strive to have open lines of communication between my students and myself. I think it is t

I have a BS in Supply Chain Management from Arizona State University, and have been pursuing a Biochemistry degree from the University of San Diego with an expected completion date of May 2012. During my studies I have become very knowledgeable in the sciences, particularly Biology, Chemistry, and Organic Chemistry. I recently took the Dental Admissions Test (DAT) and scored in the 93rd percentile. The DAT measures ability in Biology, General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Reading Comprehension, Algebra, and Geometry among other subjects. I have worked with students in a small class setting, and one-on-one for about a year, and feel very comfortable in my ability to help students achieve their educational goals. I believe I am a very patient, outgoing person, which suits me well as a tutor. I feel I am a good listener and have a strong grasp on my student's needs and areas of weakness, wh
