Biology Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Stanhope, IA

My teaching style is very individualized based on the needs of the student. Some students need frequent breaks to be able to focus in for 15-20 min at a time while others can stay engaged for an entire hour. I am currently an undergrad at Texas Christian University working on my Bachelor's of Science in Movement Science. I have completed the following coursework at TCU: General Chemistry I & II Introductory Biology I Anatomical Kinesiology General Statistics General Psychology Psychology of Sport Foundations of Sport Injury Geography I American History 1877-present

I have over 15 semesters of college courses most in the sciences. I find math and science to come easy to me if I am taught it in the right way and I would love to share that with struggling students out there. I have had experience in big and small schools, accelerated programs as well as normal classrooms so I have been exposed to a variety of learning environments. I love to teach and coach and think it is important to understand that everyone learns and grasps concepts in different ways. I do not have a specific teaching style other than positive because each child requires their own approach.

I tutored for two years at the Iowa State University Tutors Office, Iowa State University, Ames, IA. I tutored anatomy, physiology, biology, zoology. I taught for one year at Graceland University, Des Moines, IA I don't have a style. When I left high school in rural Iowa I was told I was retarded and would never even be able to write a check. At age 38 when struggling through Iowa State my chem teacher sent me to be tested for learning disabilities and I had multiple learning disabilities but an above average IQ. I don't teach I allow the student to learn in an environment where they are listened to, talked with(not to) and treated like they have value and worth. I treat them the opposite way I was treated. And when they do well we cheer together!

I am a detail oriented professional driven by a strong work ethic and a process and results oriented philosophy. Using critical thinking and problem solving skills I analyze and evaluate student needs and concerns, set goals, and work collaboratively to attain student success. I have earned a BA in Biology and Basic Science and a MS Ed in Science Education and have used those degrees to teach successfully physical science, chemistry, and physics in high schools and biology (both majors and non-majors), physics (both calculus- and algebra-based),and chemistry for health sciences in community colleges. I have also taught on-line courses in introductory college biology and physical science. I believe all learners can be successful in their learning when presented with learning opportunities within their primary learning styles. I am patient and able to present information by creatively usi

As a scientist, I have the unique opportunity to present science as a living discipline. It is my belief that my experience in designing experiments, interpreting results, writing papers and applying for grants can enrich the understanding and appreciation of science for a biology or chemistry student. It makes a great difference to be able to teach science as a process instead of a simple collection of facts. Also, my veterinary medicine education background allows me to present a unified view of the world, by being able to explain the connections between concepts as ecology, evolution, physiology, and cell and molecular biology. Lots of anecdotes from past career experiences of mine and of former research colleagues I can use for making a point to my students, and they really love that! Soon after graduating the Vet Med Faculty and obtaining my DVM diploma, I started a career in univer

As a Junior in college I made the decision to become a teacher. The decision was based on the observation that a majority of teachers are over worked and don't have the time to provide the individual attention some students require. I performed my student teaching at a small school called Central Heights. I taught Physical Education- grades K-8, Physical Education-Freshman Boys, and 3rd Grade-all subjects. I also performed in-class reading requirements in a 2nd Grade classroom. I have tutored on and off since graduation but due to my past employments have been unable to tutor in the last couple of years. I believe that every person is able to learn, if they want to. You can't make someone learn if they have no interest in it. I try to establish a reason for learning with the student. My first child I tutored is a perfect example. This boy was 14 years old. He really enjoyed car

Since my sophomore year of college, I have been tutoring students in mathematics, physics, and chemistry in both college and high school. I have also since been involved with biomechanical research at Des Moines University, where I currently work during the school year and summers, which involves application of several areas of science, teaching laboratory techniques, and giving presentations on completed research. I have also competed on Drake’s Mock Trial team, sharpening my oratory and explanatory abilities, and have coached and competed for Drake’s tennis club. By far, the biggest issue I have found with students with difficulty learning mathematics or the sciences is that there is a lack of motivation to learn, primarily because they do not understand the implications of the knowledge in front of them. Because I have studied physics, mathematics, and completed the pre-medicine curri
