Sarah S. - Lexington, KY 40517 (32.3 mi) - Life Science Tutor - $30.00/hr.
I have been tutoring students of all ages since I was in high school. I began by tutoring my own peers in math and social studies. I would also tutor children from 1st grade on up in all subjects. Once in college, I tutored college students and younger in many fields, primarily mathematics courses. My specialty quickly became preparation for standardized tests as well as calculus because I have a unique ability to discover how each student learns and tailor the lessons to their needs. I can quickly find where the knowledge gaps exist for each student and fill in those gaps, in order to create a complete understanding of the topic, not just get them to memorize answers. My teaching style varies for each student, I try to tailor the work to how the student learns.

Jann F. - Lexington, KY 40511 (35.7 mi) - Life Science Tutor - $30.00/hr.
My teaching philosophy has definitely evolved since my first teaching experience as a Teaching Assistant as a Masters Student at the University of Kentucky. I think I was very surprised to discover that teaching is not as easy as it looks, which is when I gained an appreciation for good teachers with effective teaching methods. My various teaching opportunities have led me to view education as a teaching-learning process whereby both me, as an instructor, and the student both strive for a higher level of awareness and understanding. Every time I teach a course I gain not only a deeper understanding of the subject matter, but also experience a unique teaching experience with each group of students.
Considering all the differing teaching styles, my teaching style most resembles a combination of a gardener, a coach, and an entertainer. The gardener must tend to the different kinds of

John W - Shelbyville, KY 40065 (21.4 mi) - Life Science Tutor - $35.00/hr.
Genuine, personal interest in the child; establishing rapport; establishing the student's mastery level, then building from there (instead of an arbitrary line which creates anxiety); affirmation of every step of progress/success; recognition but careful use of errors in non-judgmental, constructive correction; ease in backing up for review when needed; positive verbal and behavioral reinforcement to the student, including reports to parents about same, all these are things that come to mind.
I have been recognized for being able to communicate and teach behaviorally-disabled and -challenged students. I think this is because of my many years as a minister. I am nonplussed by lack of cooperation, and seem able to penetrate quickly past the veil of insecurity that causes some students not to cooperate with adults. I believe I offer more, therefore, than mere subject expertise: I bel

Chad T - Junction City, KY 40440 (22.8 mi) - Life Science Tutor - $37.50/hr.
As a graduate of Eastern Kentucky University I have dedicated a lot of my time and effort to learning concepts of physics. I have earned a bachelor degree in physics with a minor in mathematics graduating with a 4.0 in both my major and minor classes. I graduated magna cum laude, was awarded introductory to physics student of the year, awarded the Ted M. George outstanding senior in physics award, and taught an introductory to physics lab at Eastern Kentucky University Fall 2009. I have tutored physics and mathematics the past 3 years independently and for the university. I have also substituted for Boyle County School district. I love teaching and helping students to grasp the basic understanding behind physics and math. Since physics and math can build on itself, it is important you understand the basics before you can proceed to advanced concepts. I believe students learn by different

Patrick L - Simpsonville, KY 40067 (25.6 mi) - Life Science Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I convey to each student a never give up attitude and show confidence in their ability to understand the material. Each problem will be explained to the student and I will encourage every student to ask questions. After the student gains confidence in working problems together then I will have the student work a similar problem by themselves to confirm their level of understanding. After the student works the problem I will go over it and correct any mistakes in their work . I have an engineering background with a BS and Masters degree in Electrical Engineering. An engineering degree requires a significant background in math and science. While in college I had such a love for math that I took math classes as electives and became a math tutor for college math. My most recent experience is that of an Instructor in math and science.

Alexander V - Frankfort, KY 40601 (26.4 mi) - Life Science Tutor - $34.50/hr.
I work best with individuals who are self-motivated and determined to succeed. I am the kind of teacher who responds to questions with questions. I understand that a lot of students are just looking for a sufficient answer, but this will not help them understand the material when they are required to take an exam. I am a firm believer in teaching through example as it is the most efficient way to learn the mathematical sciences. Those professors who had the most profound impact on my academic career were always willing to show me various strategies to arrive at the same answer. Therefore, I strive to teach the methods of problem solving as they have widespread application in all of science. As a former academic scholarship student at Western Kentucky University, I have a keen understanding of what it takes to succeed at the highest level even under immense stress.

Ucresia S - Louisville, KY 40229 (29.3 mi) - Life Science Tutor - $35.50/hr.
I was an Adult Education Instructor for Jefferson County Public Schools for two years. I provided adults and families with quality educational services needed to upgrade skills or obtain a GED. Some of my job duties included recruiting, testing, and retaining adult learners. I have also developed lesson plans and facilitated learning through the use of technology.
I have earned my B.S.B.A in Accounting as well as a M.A. in Management and Leadership. My strongest areas of study are in math and writing. I enjoy teaching, I find it to be one of the most rewarding expeirences not only for the learner but for the teacher as well. Although my experience is with adult learners, I would welcome the opportunity to work with children. I had an opportunity to volunteer as a big sister for the BBBS organization and I really enjoyed the interaction between myself and my 5th grade mentee.

Martin M - Louisville, KY 40291 (29.7 mi) - Life Science Tutor - $37.00/hr.
I use the scientific method of teaching. My style is Socratic. I believe, as Rene Descartes did before me, that human knowledge is innate, including our ability to learn and use language. I teach children to learn by given them the tools they need to think logically and abstractly. Life is dynamic, what happens today, will likely change tomorrow. I believe that children need to understand that there are consequences for their actions. The scientific method is a great way of learning cause and effect. Few of us are fortunate enough to learn from others talking. Most of us learn by doing. That is my method. I have a very diverse background range from English to science. My jobs require me to understand complex topics so that I can convert them into concepts that are understandable by lay audiences. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Humanities. I am finishing my Master of Science in Entomolog

Eva G - Louisville, KY 40243 (30.5 mi) - Life Science Tutor - $36.50/hr.
Description of teaching style
I feel that it is important that I, as the teacher, can present the course content to my students in an organized and meaningful way that will allow them to make the connection between the various strands of Biology, Chemistry, or environmental science. It is important that the students learn the basics of these major fields not as isolated facts, but as a coherent whole. Summary of experience
I have been teaching for 26 years here in the US (California and Kentucky) and overseas (Egypt and Hungary).
I have taught introductory biology, chemistry, physical science, and life science, and AP courses in chemistry, biology, and environmental science. 95% of my students have scored four or above on the AP exams.
I have sponsored students in national competitions, and I have also prepared teams for the Kentucky Envirothon competition. I have sponsored envi

Kathryn A - Richmond, KY 40475 (30.7 mi) - Life Science Tutor - $36.00/hr.
Most of my teaching experience has been in classrooms with students from the toddler stage through 6th grade. My favorite areas to teach are phonics, reading, and elementary math. However, in the passed five years I have tutored pre-school age through adults in many areas, and homeschooled all areas in elementary and middle school. I also taught English as a second language. I love guiding a student through some difficult or misunderstood content and getting the "ahha!" of understanding at the end. My experience has taught me that all children can learn, but often in different ways. Finding the mode of learning for each student is the key. I try to find different ways to present the information until the child understands. It is also important to review and practice in order to reach the learning goal. I am a patient teacher and respectful of each student.
