Marine Biology Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Washington, DC

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

I think the best way to teach is to immerse myself in the same thinking process that the student must use to solve each specific problem. I am a biotech business owner who has worked in industry, academics and government. I have a lot of experience mentoring biology students form high school through graduate school. I am an adjunct professor of bioinformatics at George Washington University. My main areas of expertise is are computational and and molecular evolutionary biology.

Absolutely love this subject I have taught for two years at Odenton Christian School in the Secondary department. I taught science and history during that time. Before that, I spent two years assisting in labs at college, helping students learn basic laboratory concepts. I greatly enjoy science, and communicating those concepts to students.

As a person who works with various groups of people, I continuously find helping others reach their full potential exciting and rewarding. My highest degree is a Ph.D. in Educational Administration with a specialization in Pre-K through 12th grade; however, I have provided adult instruction at the college level and through workshops for over 8 years as well. If you need to get started right away and want results, then I am the right person. 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 instructio

I have worked professionally in the Biology/Environmental field for 20 years+. I worked as an "in-house" tutor for Calvert County School Board (2000),as well as, mentored high school level students on science fair projects. I have extensive experience in natural resources management, water quality, general biology, and environmental science. I served as our community church "Journey to Adulthood" teacher from 2004 to 2006. I work well with students. My teaching style is about trying to make the information being taught relevant to what happens in the real-world.

Even though I've taught college students all my life, I actually love working with children as well. I am a very patient person, and I am also compassionate and easy to get along with. I believe as a teacher I am responsible to train my students in their fields to make them competitive and knowledgeable. I do not give up when I have difficult students, I try to learn their behavior instead and work with them. The world needs good educators to make a difference in the life of the student and others around. I have been teaching Anatomy and Physiology at Washington Adventist University, Takoma Park, MD for the past year after graduating with a masters degree from Andrews University, MI. I have a bachelors degree in Biology with a minor in mathematics. I have been teaching and tutoring since my freshman year in college. My strength is science/math which is also my passion.

I have been a mathematics and science tutor for the last ten years. As a former mathematics educator at the college level I feel that mathematics or any other science is possible to be learned and comprehended by the student through the use of real life examples. Moreover, in my time as a math and science tutor I always asked my students to devote patience and perseverance whenever they are starting to learn a new concept. I like teaching and tutoring students in mathematics and science. I always believe that science and mathematics require innovation and creativity to fully understand the concepts. Throughout my years of teaching and tutoring I have developed effective techniques to make an immediate in a student's learning.

My teaching style is modified for each student and their specific needs. When I was a volunteer ESL tutor, lessons were more structured and so I had to follow a fairly specific lesson plan. I would give a brief class lesson (of grammar/conversation) and give many examples on the blackboard. I would try to involve all students by encouraging questions and also asking them questions. I would go around and make sure they could properly complete exercises and I would challenge them with an application of the lesson. For my organic chemistry student, the tutoring was more problem-based. She would ask for help on specific questions/materials she would have issues with. I would go back and explain/draw the problem step by step and then ask her to repeat it. Finally, I would give her extra problems to be sure she could apply the information in a more difficult context. I began tutoring when I

Teaching is a passion to me and I have a sense of accomplishment when I share or give back what I have been privilleged to acquire in my studies of sciences and math. I teach by example. For instance I will know that my students have understood when they perform a return demonstration. I am a nice guy and work with my students by establishing a sound relationships based on mutual trust. I believe that a sound understanding of basic math and science skills would have a great impact on the future accademic lives of individuals as well as in the real world when they grow up. I have extensive experience in working with children of apparently all age groups. As a University of Buea graduate with a bachelor of sciences degree in Chemistry and Botany I have a sound knowlege in Sciences and Mathematics. I have been a paraeducator at Mongomery County Public Schools (MCPS) Maryland for over three

Having been in school for 6 years post high school has taught me a lot about the educational system and the means to success. A proper education is very crucial in order to prevent a student from being misinformed and misguided. To prevent that, I help my students to be self-motivated and more aware of local and global events through newspapers. I believe everyone is different based on their backgrounds, therefore, they must be taught HOW to learn effectively. This is where I come in. I can identify what a student’s weakness is and allow them to learn SUCCESSFULLY! Having a B.S. in Microbiology from University of Maryland and having completed 2 years of medical school gives me a strong background in the sciences. For the past 7 years I worked for Certified Learning Center and had great experiences tutoring students of different backgrounds. Although science is my specialty, I have

I currently work as a scientist in the biotechnology industry, and have been teaching as my schedule allows. I have taught Genetics, General Biology, Biochemistry and Ecology and Evolution. I have a Master of Science degree in Molecular Biotechnology and I am currently a part time student at Johns Hopkins University. I am well aware that most of my students will not pursue the hard sciences as a career in academia or industry but I believe that everyone has the ability to grasp scientific concepts that will be relevant in their chosen fields. For this reason I approach every course I teach as an opportunity to help students demystify the myth that science is difficult. I believe that leaning is a dual effort between teachers and students and hold all my students to a high standard, academically and ethically. I hope that at the end of any science course that I teach, students would

I enjoy teaching and this something comes naturally to me. I believe every student has a potential to give his or her best shot. My job in this profession is to help the student to overcome their weakness and improve their strengths. As a graduate student, I am currently have responsibility of teaching two laboratory courses every semester. I have taught students from all age groups. I enjoy teaching science and math courses which are strong subjects. I have broad range of experience working with other subjects as well. I started volunteering during my high school years which was my first tutoring assignment. Since then I continue my passion of making a difference in one's academic goals.

I am a motivated teacher who desires to see the goals of the student achieved. Therefore, my teaching style takes the shape of the student, where some students are visual learners, whereas others are auditory or kinesthetic learners. Each style of learning has unique characteristics that enable the student to learn much greater when the learning style is known. By offering the student a survey of questions, I am better able to mold my teaching to their learning style and thus help the student reach their greatest potential for the subject at hand. I have almost 10 years of experience of teaching students for the SAT,GRE, and specific subjects, combined. It started during my freshman year (1999) at Wheaton College (Wheaton, IL). I tutored students through college in Biology, Chemistry and the SAT. Out of this experience, I instructed students for multiple semesters in a Biology Lab
