Life Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Washingtonville, PA

I believe that Mathematics is the language of all sciences, and that children need a good foundation in this subject to succeed. I am passionate about achieving understanding of Mathematical topics in a child, since I believe many children dislike Math simply because they do not understand it. I greatly enjoy working with all types of children and look forward to contributing to bettering our future by working with our young people one on one. I am moving to the Newark, DE area at the end of August. My diverse academic career has provided me with a greater knowledge and understanding of Mathematics than many of my peers. I have taken numerous courses in Mathematics, Physics, Biology, Chemistry, and Exercise Science since I hold a B.S. in both Mathematics and Exercise Science. These classes have prepared me to teach a variety of complex topics.I have organized and taught many different c

As a Penn State graduate, I earned a B.S. in Earth Sciences with a minor in Chemistry, assisting a paleoclimatology laboratory on campus for three years. I then enrolled at Bloomsburg University as a graduate student for a M.Ed. in Curriculum & Instruction, and worked as a graduate assistant. I then completed student teaching at Williamsport Area School District in a high school chemistry class and a middle school science class. I am a certified chemistry teacher for the state of Pennsylvania with all proper clearances and references, including Act 34, 114, 151, and several personal references. Furthermore, I am confident in my abilities to educate my students in all math and science studies. My studies have given me practical experience working with children of different abilities and readiness. I sincerely believe it is the teacher's responsibility to adapt lessons to the student's

I received my undergraduate degree from Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania in Earth & Space Science. I then went on to get my masters degree in Curriculum & Instruction from Bloomsburg University also. I am currently waiting to receive my Pennsylvania State teaching certificate, I will then be certified to teach Secondary Education (grades 7-12) Earth & Space Science. I had the experience of student teaching in both a high school and middle school setting. I student taught 7th grade general science, 9th grade introduction to Biology, and a 12th grade Earth Science class. My teaching style is more student centered. I believe that involving the students with hands on activities allows them to grasp and understand certain topics easier. Especially in a science classroom where we are studying intangible topics, like the core of the earth, or the stars, or the atmosphere, students may ha

As a Business Administration major, I have had extensive schooling in all realms of business, accounting, and finance. In my earlier years, I had extensive exposure to math of all levels, as well. Additionally, I am very strong in English, even having edited a book and written the foreword for it. During my early college years I was employed in the Tutoring Lab and volunteered at the YMCA; more recently I have tutored individuals on an as-needed basis. I believe that everyone is teachable, if the student has the desire and the teacher has the commitment. I tend to be a patient teacher, with high standards. I actively question the student, which allows me to challenge the student in my presence, where I am able to guide him/her. While I have predominantly tutored college students, I have also taught adults and children. My sister-in-law is probably my biggest supporter, since she ha

I enjoy working with students of all ages and want nothing more than for them to succeed. In order for them to succeed it somtimes requires a little more attention than the classroom teacher can provide. While tutoring I would hope to be able to have the time and patience necessary to be a support to your child and their current educational system. Each student learns in their own individul way. I believe I have the skills to get to know your child and the ways that they will learn best. Since we will be working individually we can use their strengths to review material and complete assignements. I graduated with a degree in earth science education in 1995. I worked for several years as a substitute teacher and then returned to college to gain biology certification. I worked at a local high school for five years teaching seventh grade science and senior high general science. For

I love teaching and working with all children and adults. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am willing to change my teaching strategy to help all students. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I have learned many teaching skills through my experience in a physical therapy clinic setting. I am extremely focused on succeeding in life, and I want to help other succeed in life, too. As a senior student at Misericordia University, I was and still am driven to achieve a high level of excellence in my classes. I will receive my Master's in Physical Therapy in May of 2011. I have performed extensive study in a gross anatomy laboratory and I have taken and excelled in many science courses. Also, at Misericordia University I was selected to be a gross anatomy teaching assistant working under the supervis

In my experiences, I have found the best way to fascilitate the learning of mathematics is through visual instruction via a whiteboard and/or blackboard. After the student sees an example of a problem done, I like to sit down with the tutee and have them walk me through the problems to make sure they have a good understanding of both the way to do the problem as well as a stron conceptual understanding of the material. I have tutored at a Learning Center at Shippensburg University for the past two years. I have accumulated over 100 hours of tutoring for all collegiate math courses at the 100 level, all at the 200 level, all at the 300 level, and one at the 400 level. I have participated in over 20 hours of tutor training. Typical subjects include finite mathematics, calculus I, calculus II, calculus III, discrete mathematics, calculus-based statistics, complex analysis, precalculus, m

Within the past two years, I have gained experience in early childhood education. I have taught Preschool and a Pre-K/Kindergarten enrichment class. Recently, I have decided to pursue my career in elementary education, working with school-aged children. In March, I started a job as an ESL instructional assistant. I work with students in Kindergarten through 4th grade. I have learned many new tutoring skills, as I have been instructing English Language Learners in English and Math. My teaching abilities have been very successful in helping children reach their potential. I enjoy working with small groups and individual students. I try to target exact areas of weakness, so that the proper education can be provided. After assessing children's weaknesses and strengths, I gear my lessons and teaching strategies toward their needs. I offer positive encouragement to every child and show
