Genetics Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in West Liberty, OH

I tutored elementary students while in high school. These students were the ones with slight learning disablities. I tutored in college both in chemistry and biology but mainly chemistry. I have been in the workforce for many years and feel that my knowledge would be helpful to others. I have also tutored in math, mostly algebra. I don't have a set style. I try to evaluate how the student learns and build from there.

I have tutored middle and high school in Science and Math and have helped friends with MCAT and GRE preparation. I have been a Teaching Assistant in the graduate school and have spent a considerable amount of time helping undergraduate and fellow graduate students with biology concepts both theory and laboratory work. I have a passion for learning and sharing knowledge. I hold two masters' degrees in Biomedical Science and Neuroscience and am working towards a Doctoral Degree now. I have published Scientific Papers in reputed Scientific Journals. I have the ability to simplify the most difficult concept and use illustration to teach. I do not believe that students should memorize each and every word of the subject matter. Education is like a building and knowledge earned at every step of the way should be a brick in the wall. I have trained in yoga and meditation to help release and mana

The goal of my approach is to enable students to have a level of ownership in learning concepts and ideas. Merely teaching the idea is not enough, and that "Oh, I see" moment must occur to embed the idea for long-term growth. I enjoy relating the ideas and facts to real world examples that almost anyone can grasp. For a period of five years, I offered tutoring services to students at the University of Chapel Hill, Duke University, and North Carolina State University. My ability comes from experience...I was not entirely prepared for college when I started, and had to work much harder to successfully complete my degrees. I believe that this has given me a great insight into what students really need, especially as schools continue to do a less than perfect job of preparing students for the future.

Taught AP, Honors and Regent level Biology and Honors Physics at Preston High School in NY Most of my students recieved Mastery or above on state exams at the end of the year.Most of my students scored above 620 on the SAT biology subject exam. Tutored throughout my college years the subjects: Chemistry, Biology, Anatomy and Physiology and Microbiology. My methods are rather traditional. I beleive that there is no way around hard work. I will explain the problems in many different ways in order for the student to grasp a particular concept. I also am a irm believer that the more problems a student does, the better they become in doing the material.

In my 6 years of teaching experience I’ve come to find out that there is no such thing as a “stupid question.” Each child or adult has a specific way of learning according to their own character. That’s the reason some are faster to learn mathematical concepts while others are faster in literary concepts. I believe in going slow and asking my students to explain what they’ve learned in their own words. If they can do this easily it means they have mastered the concepts. I usually encourage pre-reading before tutoring sessions. A student who has read the chapter ahead will absorb information more easily than one who has not read ahead. I obtained a high honors degree (Magna Cum Laude) in Biology, with a minor in Chemistry in 2005. Due to an outstanding GPA (3.74/4.00), I began to teach even as an undergraduate student. I was hired by the Athletics Department to help my fellow students obt

I am currently a graduating senior at Wilberforce University. When that day comes, I will have a BS in Biology. This degree has allowed me to gain hands on experience within different fields of study along with enhancing my kowledge of the biological sciences and all that it embodies. Also with Spanish, I have not had the experience of teaching but I have been learning the Spanish language for the last ten years (since the sixth grade). I can read as well as write the language and hold a descent conversation. I have previously worked as a tutor/mentor in this field of study for high school graduates. This particular job was to help fulfill a semester worth of requirements in 8 weeks. I enjoy teaching children of all ages, but I prefer to teach children within the middle school and high school ages. I feel that those times are critical to their learning and retention of information. I ap

I have been a guest lecturer for the Marshall University Masters of Science in Forensic Science program since 2004; annually, I present graduate school-level students with a two-day workshop on the subject of Forensic Biology that included a full day of lectures and a day of hands-on laboratory exercises. When I was a graduate school student, I was a teaching assistant for the DNA Technology Laboratory at Marshall University. I have also been a Biology Tutor for a summer enrichment program for high school students through Saint Louis University. In addition, I had been a private tutor since I was in college. Being an educator is a job that requires a sense of passion, for it is a job that simply cannot be performed successfully if one does not feel or care for that excitement that comes with making an impact in someone’s life. An educator has the ability to help shape students’ m

I take the necessary time to learn the behavior and learning ability of the child in order to customize a teaching style that will be most beneficial. I believe that the most effective type of relationship between a teacher and a student is friendship to reduce any anxieties that may otherwise hinder the child’s progress. I am calm, well mannered, kind and devoted to the success of others. Teachers should be firm but not intimidating to the child. The learning environment should be safe, stress free and comfortable and above all positive. I have a strong belief that since children will be leading future generations then they need the proper skills to be able to solve tomorrow’s problems. Throughout my high school career I have been devoted to academic success of my fellow classmates as well as my self. I continued this attitude in the accomplishment of achieving a BS degree in biology. A

I have always felt that tutoring should offer a much more laid-back approach at getting concepts across to students. This is a chance to learn material in an environment that doesn't bear the pressures and stresses of the classroom and achieving a certain grade. Also as opposed to a classroom, I feel that the student should have the floor. This is their time to ask questions and talk through problems. When doing problems, I usually like to ask questions that gradually lead up to the answer and establish the concepts to get to the solution. Finally, I like tutoring experiences to be fun and am not afraid to lighten the mood with occasional jokes, as it seems that this atomosphere makes students more open and excited to learn the given material. Throughout my undergraduate studies at the University of Illinois, I developed a passion for teaching and helping others achieve the academic

I graduated from Ohio State in June 2011 with a BS in molecular genetics. I graduated with honors and with a GPA of 3.657. I have taken the MCAT with a score of 33 (10-BS, 12-PS, 11-V). I have never worked professionally as a tutor but I have tutored friends extensively throughout my college experience. I have an extensive background in biology, physics, chemistry, and the humanities. I am very well rounded in all subjects and would have no problem teaching any part of the MCAT, or any other educational material. I really enjoy working with students, especially at the college level, who have not experienced a great deal of success in a particular subject and aspire to do better. I believe that the key to any kind of scientific or mathematical learning is repetition. It is first important to get to the heart of the concept, and see what is holding someone back from understanding so

In my teaching experience, I preferred small or one-on-one settings, which enabled me to get to know the student so I knew how to address their specific needs, but also allowed the student to become more comfortable with asking questions. In situations where I had to teach one-on-one, I made sure to start off by finding out what the student already understood about the subject at hand, so I could build off of previous knowledge and understanding. This way, the student never feels like they don’t know anything, which builds their confidence and allows them to perform better in their studies. I am interested in tutoring because I have a passion to see others reach their educational goals, be it at the elementary, high school, or college level, and I have the hands-on experience necessary to help students that struggle in their coursework.

I have been in college for 3 years now and have a GPA of 3.90. My major is in Biology with a minor in Psychology. I have been accepted for the Honors Research Program at my university. I was selected to receive an academic scholarship from the state of Ohio. I have worked as a Lab Assistant for a statistics course and as an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant for a Cell Biology and Genetics class. I have tutored approximately 30 students for about a year and a half. I tutor in Biology, Psychology, Mathematics and Statistics. I also help students to prepare for tests such as SAT, ACT, ASVAB and college entry-level mathematics placement tests. I have helped about 7 students with a 100% success rate for various test preparations. I am a big believer in real life examples and visual cues. I write every little detail so that one can always look back to their notes and have no problem revising.

I believe that a student can learn any subject or topic that they put enough effort into. For some, it is difficult to put in effort into some topics because they think "Oh I'll never get this in a million years!" My focus on tutoring kids is to improve their self-esteem by breaking down examples into smaller pieces and walking through them in a step-by-step manner. It is often that all a student needs to understand concepts are just different examples than what they are presented in class, or the subject matter explained in different terms. Because of my research experience I am also able to provide students with examples on how the topics relate to real life experiences. I recently graduated from the Ohio State University with a BS in Microbiology. During my time at OSU I tutored both my peers and underclassman in classes ranging from biology, microbiology, chemistry, and various
