I have always enjoyed teaching. When i was in college I used to teach my juniors in subjects that they needed help in. My notes in college became very popular and are still being used today. I have taught at University of DC to a group of students for which I received very positive feedback. I have a done quite a few seminars in and out of college. I love to teach and enjoy the opportunity to pass on the information to others. I make sure that every topic that i go over is clearly understood. A clear sense of understanding can make any "boring" subject more interesting and fun to learn. I like to start with the basics of a subject and move into detail as required. If more time is needed on any one topic I am willing to go over it as many times as the student wants.

My teaching style varies, depending on what the individual student needs, but it is always driven by an enthusiasm and verve for education (particularly in science) that I have been told is infectious (not a great thing to say to a biologist, but it's the thought that counts). Learning is most effective when the learner understands the importance of the material to their interests and the world around them. As such, one of my priorities when teaching is finding the relevance of the subject to the student and examining the concepts in the student's context. I tend to shy away from rote memorization, preferring active learning techniques and exercises that develop critical thinking skills, but I am flexible, depending on the student's abilities and response. I am an evolutionary biologist and paleontologist who has been active in the field for over a decade. I have been a professor of

I earned a degree in biology with a minor in forensic Psychology. Although Biology was my major, I took math classes from Pre-calculus to differential equations although i did not need it but because I loved math. I am preparing to take my GACE certification, which is a licence to teach. During my undergraduate years, i volunteered at peach county high school in the city of Fort valley; I taught high school students math and science courses and i also tutored math and science courses during my undergraduate years in college. I have currently gotten a job with a tutoring company, all this I know has equipped me to become a better tutor

I think the best way to teach is to immerse myself in the same thinking process that the student must use to solve each specific problem. I am a biotech business owner who has worked in industry, academics and government. I have a lot of experience mentoring biology students form high school through graduate school. I am an adjunct professor of bioinformatics at George Washington University. My main areas of expertise is are computational and and molecular evolutionary biology.

Familiar with the basics and slightly more than that. I have taught for two years at Odenton Christian School in the Secondary department. I taught science and history during that time. Before that, I spent two years assisting in labs at college, helping students learn basic laboratory concepts. I greatly enjoy science, and communicating those concepts to students.

I’ve graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biology in 2009. My Biology coursework has centered on theory, problem solving and critical thinking. I have taken multiple Biology, Chemistry, Physic, Math and Psychology classes which have enabled me to improve my knowledge and understanding of the subject. I have also taken various computer skills, writing, and test taking classes that can prepare student with confident when entering an entrance or regular exam. I also have a vast knowledge in biological/health science disciplines. As a result of my rewarding, teacher assistant and tutoring during my four academic years in science and math, I am confident that I could make a strong contribution to help students to understand the material. Throughout many years of tutoring my peers and underclassmen, I have obtained several techniques to help students study effectively. Depend on each in

As a tutor, I believe that one needs to be patient, understanding, and persistent. In addition, it is important that a tutor caters to the student's style of learning. I am creative and willing to try different teaching methods with students. I believe that each student has an individual and unique way of learning and it is up to the tutor to invest time in learning students' strengths and weaknesses. My academic experience has shaped me into a hardworking and ambitious student. As a pre-medical student, I double majored in Psychology and Middle Eastern Studies which has allowed me to establish a diverse background in the sciences and humanities. Moreover, I have gained valuable writing and analytical skills. As a native Arabic speaker, I am able to read, write, and speak the Arabic language fluently.

From second semester freshman year I have tutored mathematics and chemistry. First it was at the campus learning center at Westminster College, then I went on to pursue a graduate degree in chemistry at Penn State University where I found that I like to teach more than I wanted to be a PhD Chemist, I was a teaching assistant for both Physical Chemistry Lab and General Chemistry for non-majors. It was this teaching experience that led me to tutor for the PSU Ag Science department in both chemistry and mathematics. I have also volunteer tutored at State College High School. I try to put the difficult concepts of mathematics and chemistry into words and experiences that the student can understand. In the words of one of my tutees I teach "Barney-Style". In other words I talk in words they can understand whether I'm tutoring a 4th grader or a college student. It is my goal to make the

I have a visual and hands on teaching style. I do believe that students learn better by doing labs and seeing demonstrations, not by just hearing lectures. My students thoroughly enjoy my demonstrations and labs. My goal is to do whatever it takes to ensure that my students are working to their maximum potential. I have 5 years experience as a Biology, Chemistry, and now, a Physical Science teacher on the high school and middle school levels. I have gained a valuable understanding about the needs of our young people. I believe that all students are capable of learning anything, some just have different learning styles. I have met with different students and tried (quite successfully) to gear my lessons to the needs of all students. In my classes, it is my goal to make sure that every student understands the lessons.

I love working with kids and it's my inner passion to teach. I have developed patience’s working with children and I like to teach as a mentor/friend. My main focus is students' needs and goals, and the willingness to explore their strengths. I believe that every child has the capability to learn and they just need a little guidance. I would love to be the reason a child wants to learn and gain their knowledge. I am a hard-working and ambitious person with a desire to contribute to society. I believe educators, teachers, counselors, principals are the providers, directors, and managers of complex systems of care. In other words, they are the backbone of the educational industry. While working as an Assistant Director of Education, I have learned to be more effective as a teacher. I have been teaching for past seven years and I have taught all age groups and subjects like, English, Math,

I hold a BS in Cell Biology and Molecular Genetics from the University of Maryland, College Park and a MS in Genetics from the University of Maryland School of Medicine. I work in a large University Hospital seeing patients with genetic issues. My work involves taking complex scientific information and breaking it down so that it is easy to understand. I also spend time lecturing to medical students and residents. So basically, I am a science person with excellent people skills! Teaching is probably my favorite part of my job! I am passionate about science and love to share this interest with others. I am extremely patient and very hard working. One of my strengths is that I can tell whether or not somebody understands the information and can explain things as many different ways as needed until it "clicks." I am upbeat, friendly, and get along with virtually everyone I meet.
