Earth Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Taylors, SC

I do not ever yell or scare my students into behaving the way I have seen many teachers do. With many students this does not work. I respect my students and in turn they respect me. This creates an atmosphere where students want to behave for me. Taught in Greenwood and Greenville county schools 12 years. I taught reading recovery, resource, and self contained classrooms. Before that I was an ABA line therapist for students with autism. I have a degree in Elementary Education with a specialization in Special Education. I am certified as a Elementary and Special Education teacher through the SC state Department of Education. I now own my own tutoring business Shining Stars Tutoring LLC.

Paleontology, Biogeography, and Botany. I graduated from Presbyterian College with a double degree in biology and psychology and a minor in chemistry. Many of the courses I completed in biology were in the natural sciences such as paleontology, biogeography, and botany, which I flourished in. I also took organic chemistry I and II, biochemistry, and genetics, which I am good at as well. I've taken a vast array of psychology classes such as cognition, drugs and behavior, counseling, and abnormal psychology

I believe that involving the student with as much hands on learning as possible, helps them in being able to relate with and withold what they are learning. Also paying attention when there are areas of struggle for the student and focusing attention on them. I like to have fun while teaching in order to take some of the pressure of learning off of the mind. I have had 7 years of life experience teaching both of my daughters and their friends about the world around them. I teach them about the basics of geology and life science including plant life. English and spelling. Also I teach them about the basics of freehand drawing. We work on line spacing and using geometric designs in their drawing. And using negative space in their drawings.

As a recent graduate of an accredited university I feel I am adequately prepared to tutor individuals seeking help in the sciences. I have acquired a hard work ethic throughout my BS degree in Biology. I have taken extensive classes including Human Anatomy & Physiology, Organic Chemistry, Embryology, Metabolism, and Pathophysiology. During the past year, I have tutored students in Human Anatomy & Physiology I love helping students learn. I love explaining the human body in a way that makes sense to me. As I learned the in's and out's of our bodies, I had to grasp concepts in order to understand body systems. I feel this is an effective way to lean about the human body and to retain information opposed to short term memorization. Biology and the Sciences can prove to be a difficult subject to grasp, but learning can be fun and enjoyable when it is explained in a way that makes sense!

I enjoy working with children and have wanted to be a teacher since I was in the fourth grade. My favorite part about teaching is when I see the "light bulb" go on in a child's mind and there is excitement about learning. I think every child can learn and that children need structure and guidance in the learning process. I also believe that children can do more than what we often think they can so they need to be encouraged to stretch their thinking, to use their imaginations, and to not give up when something is difficult or challenging. I have seven years of teaching experience, five of those in Texas and two in South Carolina. I also have three years of substitute teaching experience. I have taught 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th grades, and I have substitute taught all elementary grades and some middle and high school grades. I am strong in both mathematics and language arts.

I gained experience for best practices for beginning and/or struggling readers. I continued my eduction at Furman University and gain my Masters in Early Childhood. I worked at SHARE Head Start in a 4 year old clasroom and gained experience with the little ones. My main objective was to ensure that they were prepared for kindergarten by teaching them the foundations of writing & reading. I enjoy working with students of all ages up through 6th grade.

Nutrition is my degree, however teaching is my passion. It took me a year to relize that my calling would be teaching science. I am currently in the process of applying to a Graduate progrom offered through Clemson University. I will yield a Masters in Teaching after completing the program. I think that tutoring children will be a great start to my process of becoming a teacher. My goal is to help educate children so that they may enjoy science as much as I do. I graduated from Clemson University in May 2008 with a degree in Food Science, which is also refered to as Human Nutrition. Over the past year my education in nutrition has lead me to persue a career in teaching. With my strong background in science, I new that this subject would be the winner to teaching others. I have a strong background in Science, Chemistry, Biology, Anatomy, and Nutrition. Any science is my stronghold. I also

Following a career as an engineer and using my math skills in an industrial setting, I have spent the past 13 years teaching mathematics, from the 4th grade level to pre-calculus, both in a classroom setting (up to 12 students) and in one-on-one tutoring. This includes time spent explaining concepts (short lecture), working out problems in detail, and coaching the students in analytical skills and problem-solving techniques. I have taught the following subjects and have course materials available for them: General Math (4th, 5th, 6th, 7th grades), Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, Pre-Calculus (Trigonometry, Functions, Complex Numbers, Sequences, and Introduction to Calculus). My approach is to help the student understand what each problem requires and to devise a “plan of attack” to solve the problem. I try to help the student avoid the notion that “every problem is a new

I have been tutoring and working in classrooms for the last 5 years. I have worked with students from the Elementary level to college aged in all subject areas. As an Education major, I am familiar with the most recent methods of teaching. I feel very comfortable working in all subject areas with the exception of calculus and physics. Teaching is truly a passion for me. I love working with students of all ages. I believe that all students have it in them to succeed academically. I also believe that mastery of basic skills are essential to success, so while working on current studies, I also like to go back and fill in the gaps of knowledge that may be hindering a students progress.
