Marine Biology Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Waxhaw, NC

I am a huge proponent of the dialectic and Socratic methods of teaching, while recognizing the need for the didactic to learn the basic methods of academics. My own experience, as well as my background in Psychology, helps me recognize that learning must be relevant, interesting, and conducted in a highly accepting and supportive environment. I am keenly aware of the sense of inadequacy of students who come to tutoring services (I have been one myself in the past) and make special care to make all my students feel that improvement is possible for anyone. The knowledge and strategies that high performers utilize are not exclusive; anyone can learn with patience and the right tutor! I am a current teacher for the Princeton Review for the SAT (soon also for the GRE and GMAT), as well as a former tutor for Huntington Learning Center (SAT). A score of 1400 on the SAT allows me the cred

As a high school student, I excelled in math and science. I received a 5 on BC Calculus, AP Statistics and AP Environmental Science, and 4 in AP Chemistry and AP American History. At Duke University, I majored in environmental science and policy, with a minor in economics. After working for three years for non-profits, I decided medicine was more aligned with my interests. I attended Georgetown University post-baccalaureate pre-medical program. I completed 26 hours of credits with a 3.94 GPA. I took the MCAT in May of 2007 and placed in the 97th percentile across the nation. In high school, I tutored mathematics at Alexander Children's Center. Many of the children were abused at home, creating difficult challenges initially. However, I was able to work through some of these challenges by creating a calm and understanding environment, but also by establishing a routine. Today, I continue

Earning a degree in Communications accelerated my skills in writing through Journalism, research papers and Rhetorical studies. Additionally, writing is something I enjoy and practice on a daily basis. It has been a number of years since I have tutored a child however, I would like to incorporate my vocational experience as well as my collegiate studies into my teaching practices. I would love the opportunity to teach grade school children. It was during my formidable years that I can recall a young lady who impacted my education in a very significant way. Additionally, I also have very fond memories of several children who I mentored through tutoring. My innate enthusiastic nature has facilitated a strong desire with the children to participate in the learning process in many unique ways. I gain tremendous joy and satisfaction through observing this process.

My teaching style reflects my personality; patient and always looking for a new way to learn how to teach something. My diverse background in teaching different subjects, sports and training young leaders has expanded my range of possibilities for helping children to learn. I believe strongly in a foundation of learning and education. I teach to understand the process and meaning, not just how to get to the end result. While studying at NDSU I had the opportunity to tutor other athletes in geology, basic math, and the sciences as part of a work study program to help student athletes. I became a wilderness guide and instructor, teaching subjects such as cross-country skiing, swimming, trip leading, outdoor education, experiential learning to children and adults of all ages and abilities.

Educators play a vital role in exciting students' curiosity and motivating students' successes. A good teacher can impact a student's education throughout his life, and I strive to instill in my students strong work habits and educational values that will prepare them for future challenges. I am passionate about broadening students’ understanding of course content by developing experience-based learning programs that emphasize creativity, discovery, and problem solving. I believe that each student can be motivated to learn and succeed if content is presented in a way that inspires learning, promotes self-discovery, and improves self-esteem. I will bring energy, enthusiasm and experience to each tutoring session. I have experience teaching natural science, mathematics, reading, and SAT prep.

I can say I have a vast amount of training and expereience in science, physics, chemistry, mathematics, as well as the liberal arts. I score as an ITSP on the Myers-Briggs evaluation which means I am not only concrete in speech and utilitarian in getting things done, I am also directive and attentive in teaching settings. I have done a small amount of teaching at the junior college level and am comfortable giving oral presentations to groups of people. My teaching style has been to make learning fun and easy to remember.

I have worked with children since I was 13. I have worked in settings where I was a daycare worker, a nanny, and a substitute teacher. I believe that every child has thier own unique way of learning even though there may be a mainstream way of teaching. I like to see where a child is and then go from there to see what would be the best way to help them learn new things. As a UCF graduate and even prior to that I have always helped in the area of homework and study. I have earned a bachelor degree in Psychology and I have started a second bachelor's degree in Forensics. I have obtained many tutoring skills in my various areas of study including math, English, psychology, and science.

While I was an undergraduate at Marshall University, I was asked by my thesis professor to help out in the tutoring center provided by the college of math. While I was there I helped students with their math courses ranging from college algebra to upper levels of calculus and differential equations. Being a learning disabled student myself, I have learned that not all students retain information the same. I feel this gives me an upper hand on techniques to get students to learn. As of right now I do not have my teaching certicifate, however, I do plan on going back to school to get my certificate. When I was tutoring I had to multi-task between students. At first, the task was difficult but I eventually got used to it.

In 2002 I graduated with a degree in biotechnology. During the last semester of school, I was a substitute teacher, where I learned a lot about children and different teaching styles. After graduation, I pursued a career as a chemist, but I always maintained a second part-time job teaching, in some fashion. Usually, that teaching involved a pool. I have been a swimming lesson instructor for 10 years and have been a YMCA swim coach for 3 seasons, coaching over 200 children per year. In these opportunities, I've learned a lot about interacting with children. I am also a trainer for my coworkers and new employees who join our team. Throughout High School and College, I excelled in Math and Science, and use many of the concepts that I learned each day in the laboratory. I believe that each child learns in a different way, and as a teacher it is my challenge and duty to teach in such a
