Encouraging, supportive and engaging tutor!

I have three years of experience in public elementary education as a substitute and student teacher and one year as a freshman science teacher in a public high school. I am available to tutor in all elementary subjects and secondary sciences. I am also interested in helping with study skills, basic literacy and coaching English language learners.

My comments on tutoring Biology : Expert at all Biology concepts. Particularly good at breaking down the main concepts and making them understandable:order, sensitivity or response to stimuli, reproduction, adaptation, growth and development, regulation, homeostasis, energy processing.

If you watch me closely during our sessions, you can see me secretly paying keen attention to you and how you learn best. For example, you might say, "It LOOKS like they want me to factor here." And I'll think, "Aha! LOOKS. Maybe you're a visual learner and like to SEE things explained and SEE examples. (About 80% of students are visual learners.) On the other hand, you might say, "It sounds like they want me to factor here." And I'll think, "Aha! sounds. Maybe you like to HEAR things explained, and you're a keen listener and like to hear things described clearly and specifically. Or maybe you'll say, "I FEEL like they want me to factor here" (as you tap the problem with your pencil). And I'll think, "Aha! FEEL. Maybe you learn by intuition and need to just jump in and work a problem or two with me step-by-step and discover the pattern of what's going on and pick up the FEEL of it. So... ... read more

I used to hate math, now I love it.

i am pretty relaxed and informal, but I expect students to do the work assigned. I help, but I don't do the work for them. I use Socratic questioning to get students to understand the material. I stress learning concepts and building on them as opposed to memorizing or guessing enough to pass a test.
I received a BS in Horticulture from Va. Polytechnic Institute and State University. majored in Biology (Botany) for 3 years at Virginia Commonwealth Univ. and College of William and Mary. Recently retook Precalculus, Calculus 1, Calculus 2, and Calculus 3 at Virginia Western Community College. I have a background tutoring and running a tutoring center for STEM subjects at a community college for 3 years. I have been tutoring in some form for 6 years. I have a certification in tutoring ESL and several years experience in that.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a Certified Public Accountant with over 30 years of accounting and finance experience. Although I have no formal teaching degree, I feel that I would be an excellent tutor. First, I have successfully trained many employees over the years. Second, my two sons, ages 21 and 19 graduated numbers 2 and 1 in their high school classes, respectively. Now, both are "straight A" students at the University of Tennessee. Here, I feel that I have lead by example. Finally, my personality, while being friendly and patient, is also that of a highly motivated "over achiever" who loves to help others. I feel that I offer the best of both worlds, a love of learning in an academic environment as well as real-life experience in the business world.
I love teaching and helping others, especially children. I believe that there are "no stupid questions" and that all children can learn. I think that on ... read more

My education experience spans many areas. I have taught in middle and high school classrooms, have tutored for public school programs, tutored at after school learning centers, tutored in church programs, and managed a learning center as the human resources, business, sales, and education director in charge of all students programs from initial testing to post testing. My great pleasure in life is education and I have worked with students from pre-K through college age. My recently tutored subjects are science (biology and chemistry), math (through algebra 2 and geometry), study skills, SAT (and other test) Prep, reading and writing.
I believe that all students can learn if they are taught in a style that is most conducive to their learning style and motivations. To make that happen for each of my students, I try to assess their specific learning styles early on and get to know ... read more

As a personal tutor, I will rely on my significant amount of experience and understanding of biology gained from my education and participation in many research projects in biology, ecology, and wildlife conservation science. For the past ten years I have conducted various research projects including genetics, microbiology, virology, physiology, biology and ecology. I also have broad experience in introductory and upper-level courses, including Introduction to Biology laboratory, Human Physiology laboratory, Human Heredity, General Ecology class and laboratory, Animal Biology, and Wildlife Management Techniques. Therefore, I can design learning projects that promote self-confidence, creativity, and critical thinking in students.

The greatest reward one can achieve is to see the smile on someones face when they have found success in understanding something they felt impossible. I feel that there is no single method to learning, instead it is each individuals character that defines their own learning methods. I like to seek out what drives an individual to help them find their own passion about learning. With everything I do in life I go 150% and never give up. I hope that I can spread this outlook and motivation to others and help them find the true value in their education.
I am a senior studying Animal and Poultry Sciences at Virginia Tech. I have always had a personal passion for education and have enjoyed spreading the joys of learning and understanding to my peers, siblings, and friends. I excel in the subject areas of Math and Science, however have extensive writing skills.

More About This Tutor...

I love teaching and I love working with children. It is very exciting to help them learn and see them realize they have acquired knowledge. My teaching approach consists of three main objectives. The first one is to deliver material in an organized way that will allow students to understand the basics of the subject. Second, to help students understand the applications of the material and give them knowledge on how to use acquired skill in real life. And third, to teach students think about the subject and not to be afraid to discuss it. I always welcome questions and ideas from students. I strive to help my students reach their full potential and build confidence.
My teaching experience is based on teaching parts of a graduate-level course on Pest Management as a guest lecturer, the Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA) position at Virginia Tech, on participating in conducting insect ... read more

After graduating from Virginia Tech in 1973, I decided that I would enter the field of public education. After 6 years of successful and rewarding experiences in secondary education, I decided to return to college and obtain a Masters Degree in Education. Upon receiving my Masters in 1984, I taught at the post secondary level in both Virginia and North Carolina. At the post secondary level, I had the opportunity to teach a wide variety of subjects from Math to Business Administration.
I thoroughly enjoy teaching students at various ages and stages of development. I consider myself to be very creative, and I try to give the students as much hands-on experience as possible. I am constantly seeking feedback from the student in terms of how well I am presenting the subject matter, so my methods of teaching will vary. I am always open to new ideas. Failure is not a word in my teac ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a graduate from Roanoke College, I was very determined and enthusiastic about my degree in Biology throughout my time at Roanoke. I have earned a bachelor degree in Biology with a minor in Spanish. I am a moderate spanish speaker and reader. Both of these areas of study have given me a wide spectrum of education. I specifically know many biology techniques within the laboratory, how to write lab reports, identification of many organisms whether it is a plant or an animal. I have assisted students in beginning Spanish classes as well as Biology.
I love to assist, teach, and be around kids. Throughout high school and college I have enjoyed helping and watching kids. I think that all kids should be given an equal opportunity to thrive and succeed in their education no matter where they are from or their upbringing. I would love to continue with my biology studies by helping younger ... read more
