My comments on tutoring Life Science : Taught this to my children

I have been home schooling my two children for 13 years. My oldest is graduating this year and attending the college of her choice. My youngest is in 9th grade. Through these years of experience, I have discovered the best ways to motivate, to understand a student and to help a student understand themselves and the way they best learn. I have a broad understanding of many subjects as a result of teaching them myself for the past several years.
I follow a Socratic method of teaching. Leading the student into discovery by asking them questions, understanding what the student knows/understands and building on that. I am low key, but demand a good grasp on the subject before moving forward with new information.

Specializing in Out-of-the-Box Thinking for All Learners

Let's start out by saying I am definitely not your average tutor! Fun is vital to motivation, and I live on the stuff! I have been teaching for over fifteen years in a variety of environments, working in inclusive environments with children aged birth to twelve. I am now in my second year as a Special Education Teacher at a private school in DC that specializes in working with children who have Learning and Emotional Disabilities. I hold my M.Ed.HD in Special Education from GWU and a Bachelor's in Early Childhood Education. During the summer, I serve as the Behavior Intervention Specialist for Fairfax County Park Authority in Inclusion camps. Even in high school and college, I tutored peers and proofread papers. Currently, I tutor clients in Clinton, MD twice a week, and in Alexandria twice a week, so I m able to take on clients in/near those locations. In addition to tutoring, I am ... read more

A teacher can only be successful if his student efficiently learns through effective communication. I find the best style of communicating Math to every individual. I am very patient and understanding with a talent to discern a student’s heart and mind. I am very encouraging and possess all the skills needed to take the frustration and anxiety out of learning Math and Science.
High personal values get forged and refined in the fire of academic challenge. I value excellence and doing quality work. I have BS degrees in Mathematics and Electrical Engineering, two of the most challenging fields in education. I achieved success by developing personal qualities required to meet the challenge these two technical fields imposed and demanded upon me. The personal success of achieving high goals is the reward of sacrifice and self-discipline. I know exactly what each client needs to ... read more

I always look forward to tutoring new people becuase I not only get to make a difference in their life by helping them master what they're struggling with, but I also get to learn about people and different learning styles. I view tutoring as a way to help others while improving my interpersonal skills. I value all the skills I gain from tutoring because they will be assets when I become a physician. Working with all ages from kindergarten to college has taught me patience and how to conform to different people's needs.
I graduated from Vanderbilt University in May 2010, and I am currently applying to medical school. In high school and college, I tutored in math, science, English, and test prep. Math and Science are my favorite subjects, but I also have much experience with tutoring English and grammar. I have also tutored people preparing for tests such as the ACT, SAT, and Gatewa ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Guided by experiences in my life and lessons I’ve learned through teaching, I’ve come to understand that all children learn differently. My goal is to first determine where the students need help, based on their learning style, and then focus my knowledge and experience to help them using proven teaching techniques and my own teaching methods. My philosophy of education is that I believe that teachers should provide an opportunity to facilitate the academic, social, and individual growth of students. We should incorporate cooperative learning, which includes literacy, math and science manipulatives and writing to help children to work cooperatively and explore their various talents.
Teaching is my passion and I believe that by teaching I can instill firm educational values in children and help develop within them a desire to learn and grow, which will lead to academic pride and s ... read more

I have an undergraduate degree (BS) in Biology and a graduate degree (PhD) in Physiology. I have experience as a Professor of Anatomy in Graduate Physical Therapy curriculum. I have taught Anatomy and Physiology and to students from elementary school to graduate medical studies. I have most of my teaching years teaching Allied Health Students at the community college level.
I believe that much of the difficulty in learning Science is that people try to learn a series of facts rather than a story. It is difficult to do well when a student is dependent on his/her ability to recall from extensive facts where no understanding of the interrelationship is appreciated. I believe scientific conversation regarding seemingly complex subjects can serve to demystify the material. Humor often helps in this. I have worked extensively with students who know the material yet can’t test well fo ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style varies according to the individuals. I am aware that people learn differently. I am patient and willing to break down a subject for clear understanding. After teaching, I very interested in the recipient teaching the subject back to me for a asurrance of understanding. Once a clear understanding has been established, students will be able to apply the same concepts to multiple problems to obtain the correct solution.
As an Industrial Engineering graduate of NC A&T State University, I have gained the a great appreciation of mathematical concepts and how they are applied in every industry and everyday life. When I know a subject, I can teach it. I am currently a Graduate student at Stratford University where I am seeking a Masters in Software Engineering. My professional experience have consisted of volunteer tutoring at the YMCA in Greensboro,NC where I a ... read more

As an engineering graduate, with additional exposure in substitute teaching for 5 years in various Fairfax county schools,I was driven to high level of excellence in mathematics and Physics.During my internship-teaching,my mentor was really appreciated the lab set up,and my extra innovative ideas especially to drive the back log students to create an intrinsic interest in their curriculum.I strongly believe all kids have enormous potential by birth but as teacher we have to identify the critical areas needed attention.Listening to the students is also one of the most important factor.This can be done either one to one basis or in the presence of a peer or paren,t but the confidentiality should be maintained
love teaching irrespective of the monetary benefit.I strongly believe this is one of the profession you can achieve some mental satisfaction.Teaching never ends as the nature is ... read more

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 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.

A Little Bit About Me...

My ability to break things down to a level where students can understand more thoroughly has always been a string point for me. This coupled with my ability to develop a strong rapport with students has produced a positive result. I have large amounts of energy and enthusiasm that children gravitate to. On the recent term assessment for Charlottesville City Schools my children scored an 86% average. I personally believe the score is a result of my belief that high expectations coupled with strong relationships will result in success for all students by doing whatever it takes.
Since I have entered the teaching profession I have worked with children of all elementary levels. This experience has provided me with the tools to work with all types of children from grades K-5. Since I have graduated from IUP I have worked primarily in an urban setting which has afforded me the oppo ... read more

I love to tutor kids in Math and Science. I am getting my bachelors degree in Math in May. But I have completed all the core courses and have a strong foundation in Algebra, geometry, trigonometry, precalculus, Calculus I , II, III, and Discrete Math.
I love hands on teaching by working with kids one on one and teaching them the methods of solving porblems. I work on their math skills, problem solving skills, and critical thinking skills and make them better in math.
