Down to Earth tutor more worried about the academics than $

Tutored (recommended by school) fellow classmates elementary though college and various friends and family. Was the type of student that would teach myself and help others that were behind. I work hard to learn about others and help them in the way they need to be helped. Education is a journey and having the right tour guide is the most important part.
Anything K-12 and some college math, science, physics, psychology, and pre-med.

Progressing through graduate school and working as a undergraduate student demonstrator allowed me to define learning as a personal process of growth. Being able to ask questions and actually attempt to answer those questions was extremely motivating. Involving and motivating students presents its challenges, but my goal of individualizing learning creates an open and comfortable environment where students can feel free to ask questions, make mistakes, and challenge themselves. It is by breaking down the barriers to learning that students can face their own misconceptions.
My teaching philosophy is to get students to think about science as a process, and to individualize their learning experiences. I prompt them to “why” and “how” questions at every stage.

More About This Tutor...

As an undergraduate I formally tutored fellow students in several subjects, including biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics (from basic algebra to calculus). As a graduate student, I mentored several undergraduate students in the laboratory. Some of these experiences culminated in presentations of data at national and international scientific conferences. This trend continued when I became a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard, where undergraduates spent a summer in the laboratory learning about scientific exploration. During the past year I taught an undergraduate course (Brain and Behavior) at the University of Pittsburgh, which was a very rewarding experience. I look forward to the opportunity to help others achieve what they may have thought impossible, and providing them with the sense of confidence that comes from mastering material.

My enthusiasm for the natural world began at an early age and as never left me. I enjoy sharing my experience and understanding of natural processes with others. My favorite area of biology is botany. I received an undergraduate degree in biology and a minor in botany. Additionally, I have two masters degrees, one in biology and one in teaching. Currently I teach general biology labs but I have taught freshman biology lecture as well. I have taught basic ecology to students in grades 3rd -6th grade in an environmental center as well as teaching non-major students basic botany. I am certified in K-12 environmental science and enjoy teaching because each class is different and every student unique.
I approach tutoring with the assumption that every student wants to learn more but isn’t always sure how to proceed. Each student brings his or her own perspective to understanding a subj ... read more

In my experience tutoring and training students, the most rewarding moments are those in which understanding of a subject becomes a reality. I work hard at trying to find those moments with my students, explaining the subject through different approaches and providing diverse examples to face abstract concepts. I believe in rewarding the effort of the students, establishing a constructive relationship in which the student is not scared of admitting lack of knowledge, encouraging the student to ask questions, developing an inquisitive reasoning. An inquisitive and reasoning mind will provide the student with the tools needed to face any struggle in his instruction.
I pursued higher education to the Ph.D. level, most of my experience is based in research but I had the great pleasure of working with students privately and in the University environment. As a private tutor I taught Math ... read more

I have always been raised as a stellar student. The focus on education in my parents home was considered the only choice. I graduated top 10% of my high school class and went onto medical school overseas as I had moved back to Pakistan my native country. I than returned to the USA and passed the hardest test on the planet which is the ECFMG equivalency exams for doctors. I went into medical research after that and than teaching. I have been teaching for over a year at the CCAC college. I teach biology and antomy/physiology. I need summer employment and I would love to tutor students.
I usually follow the curriculum assigned. But I employ the socratic method as well as questioning each fact I teach. I also tie in clinical correlations to make it more interesting. I have found my students repond well to me and like me as a professor and I spend some time tutoring my students at CCAC ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

There are 2 things that I’ve known since I was a child, I am fascinated by the study of biological mechanisms and I enjoy helping others. As an undergraduate at Allegheny College, I excelled in the biological sciences and was selected to be a teaching assistant for the Cellular Biology & Molecular Biology courses. Last spring I was asked to guest lecture at Central Catholic High School where I introduced the students to basic cancer biology. Most recently, I have taught a Microbiology course at CCAC. Although my formal PhD training is in biomedical research, I believe that the experiences described here have provided me the necessary framework for which to be a successful tutor and teacher.
My style of teaching is simple - make the information easy to understand. I believe that I possess a unique ability to modify complex scientific material into a more straightforward idea. The ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I began my educational career at Duquesne University where I received my BA in Mathematics. After deciding teaching was my passion, I applied to the Master of Art in Teaching program at Kent State University. During the year program I was exposed to many great opportunities, one of which was teaching a college level Algebra course. This course was a combination of Algebra 1 and 2 concepts. I was also a mentor at an after school program for middle school aged children where I tutored the students in whatever subjects needed. After graduating I got a job at Wilkingsburg School District in the Alternative Education program teaching at risk youth. I currently teach Algebra, Geometry, and Integrated Math to high school aged children.
During my current job I have learned that each student has the potential to be successful. The means by which he or she achieves success, however, c ... read more

One of the very valuable lessons that I learned from my mentors and my own teaching experiences was to understand how people learn. Each student has his/her needs and responds to different styles of learning. As one of my teaching objectives, I want to accommodate every student and create learning path which helps students enjoy learning without getting frustrated. From my personal experiences, I recognized that students learn most from a teacher who is approachable and creates a comfortable environment conducive to learning. I want to guide the students in the right direction by providing them with the fundamental information to find answers and solve problems without always providing final answers myself.
I earned my Ph.D. degree in Chemistry from University of Pittsburgh. During my tenure there I taught chemistry to freshman, juniors and seniors. I have also had chance to be inv ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a high school German exchange student and subsequent German major, I have more than textbook knowledge of the German language. My fluency comes from real-world interactions as well as attending a German high school. I taught courses at the University of Richmond for students of German wishing to practice their language skills, yet whose competency may not have been to the standard for a traditional literature class. Furthermore, I received an International Baccalaureate Diploma with high marks for my high school subjects (concentrations in Music History and Theory, German Language, English Literature, and European History). The IB program is more rigorous than many college programs, and with this experience, I feel that I would be qualified to tutor any student in high school courses.
As a young college graduate, my own school days are not far behind me, and I remember acade ... read more
