Biology Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Southport, NC

As mentioned in my earlier description, I have eighteen years experience as an educator. I have taught students of all ages from early childhood through college and non-traditional adult education. I believe in making learning fun and engaging by relating concepts to points of interest for the individual student. Tutoring differs from teaching in that "style" is replaced by method. Some of the methods I have used in the past are rhythm and music, neumonic devices, and of course, drill and practice. I have been told that I am gifted with presenting material in novel ways.

Since graduating with my Chemistry degree in 1997, I have volunteered off and on within the classroom, mentoring and tutoring children of all ages. I have several younger siblings and children of my own, so I have taken the many opportunities to go in and out of the classroom as a classroom parent, after school program teacher, guest speaker, and mentor and judge for the Future City competition (an annual engineering competition for middle school children). My industry is nuclear. I have taken many opportunities to speak with students about considering the nuclear field and sharing my own experiences in the industry. My teaching style is adaptive. I believe everyone has the capacity to learn. The approach to learning is what makes the difference. Being a mother, I love children and am very patient. I also know that kids have their own distinct personalities and I address each child as

I enjoy being with children, watching them progress and develop as they learn. There is nothing more satisfying than watching the joy of a child who masters a new task. Adolescents are my favorite people in the world. I connect easily with them. I honor every youth's abilities and strengths and help them work on their deficits with patience and respect. I believe firmly that each child can be engaged. I have more than 15 years experience in the public schools at both the elementary and high school levels. My experience entails working with students who have a variety of needs including learning differences, emotional needs, mental health issues and behavioral needs.

I have also had extensive experience teaching and mentoring local highschool students in NYC and NC in the art of movement and dance.

I have always enjoyed transferring knowledge to either a single student or an audience. It is a wonderful feeling knowing that you were able to provide information that was perceived as valuable. With respect to teaching/tutoring, I am patient, probing, and respectful. I see my goal as a tutor as (1) to identify the specific needs of the student, (2) to ensure that these needs have been addressed for that subject, and (3) to ensure the student gained confidence in their ability to be tested in all areas of that subject. I have found that I am most effective when working 1 on 1 or with small groups. As a retired research scientist from major pharmaceutical company, I have enjoyed teaching coworkers about the technology and scientific skills needed to excel in performing their job. I have given lectures to a variety of audiences, from medical students to college students. My experi

As a graduate from western Carolina University, I earned my BS in Criminal Justice in three years and am close to gaining my MS in Human Services. I have been working in the human service field as a case manager/community support worker. Although it is not thought of as a teaching job, I have had the pleasure of teaching children and adults basic skills, academic skills and assisting with homework. The homework assistance ranged from 3rd grade to highschool. I was able to assist one of my students with improving his reading score in a semester. I would like to think that my education and experience with research, reports and studies could verify my qualifications. I love everything about working with children. I believe that everyone can learn if taught in the manner in which they can understand. I believe a teacher/tutor should try to adapt and change their methods to assist and engage

I enjoy teaching and working with students of all ages and education levels. I believe that all students are able to learn if given the right tools and exposed to the correct style of learning that they need. No one individual learns at the same pace or in the same way so I believe in a customized approach when trying to instruct and tutor a student in a particular subject. I am a strong believer in a hands-on approach to teaching where the student learns by activity based methods. I encourage my students to look for solutions and come up with answers to problems through their own reasoning with guidance from myself or other teachers. I strive to be a positive influence and advocate for students that reach out for guidance and support. As a graduate of three university programs, I have a strong drive and desire for fostering learning in myself and in others. I have a doctorate degree in
