Matthew B. - Washington, DC 20002 (5.7 mi) - Earth Science Tutor - $70.00/hr.
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

Michael W. - Washington, DC 20016 (10.3 mi) - Earth Science Tutor - $37.50/hr.
I like to give a diagnostic test at the first meeting to assess the client's familiarity with the topic, then, customize lessons to fit her or his needs. I aim to build a strong foundation, then, increase difficulty of concepts as client's comfort level with the topic increases. I use materials that are challenging, but not intimidating. I am an instructor, who coaches along the way, rather than doing the client's work for them, to justify the fee. I have learned that the client benefits when he or she is forced to think through a problem and come up with a solution, that he or she can justify and explain. I vary the lessons and materials to decrease client boredom. I assess the client's progress at specific stages to determine proficiency with fundamental and other essential concepts, prior to introducing advancd subject matter. If the client moves to quickly or has weak fundamentals, f

Dr. Tina B. - Brandywine, MD 20613 (11.6 mi) - Earth Science Tutor - $62.50/hr.
I use effective practices, strategies, and resources to inspire and enrich each student's learning. Direct instruction, workbooks, visual aids, computers, math manipulative, hands-on activities, mini-labs, student-centered discussions, one-on-one tutoring and small-group instruction are used to honor various learning styles, students' needs and goals, as well as to ensure they are active learners.
Students participate in small-group instruction, hands-on activities, mini-labs; may use computers for further enrichment and technology-integration; analyze words and stories; make real-life applications to concepts being presented; and customize their own learning environment through student-centered and teacher-led discussions and enrichment activities while receiving caring and effective support and guidance from me! As a person who works with various groups of people, I continuously fi

FELEKE H. - Silver Spring, MD 20901 (13.4 mi) - Earth Science Tutor - $35.00/hr.
I have taught with experience of 10 years of teaching chemistry at high school and elementary schools. In addition to chemistry, I have taught mathematics and then my students are successful in their national examinations and then they can join college easily. My unique style of teaching is that i will focus on basic chemical equations and stiochiometric calculations and I pay strong attention whether or not my students have understood the subject matter. Especially when I teach higher grades such as grade 11 and 12 , I will focus on thermodynamics and the electrochemistry topics, because this are unique topics that need much dedication and devotion of time to work and hence the students can grasp easily.
When I used to teach for grade 7 and 8 , I focused on fundamental concepts such as periodic table , molecular formula, chemical symbols and other basic consepts so that the students ca

15 years of Preschool Education Teacher
I taught students with various special needs in a public school system for sixteen years. I left teaching to raise my son and then to raise my step children. I decided to re-enter the world of work and began to work part time in various offices (insurance, real estate, small business, clothing store and landscaping/gardening center) so that I could have the experiences outside of a classroom environment. I decided to work with children and began to pursue a position as a preschool teacher. I have experience working with adults who happen to have various special needs and I have worked with children from kindergarten through high school. My degree in special education has allowed me to be proficient with individualizing instruction and curriculum to meet the
