Genetics Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in York Beach, ME

As passionate of a student as I am, I equally enjoy being an active part in another’s understanding and learning towards a new and challenging subject. I love working with high school and junior high students. I understand that the struggle and challenge of learning new material can be so enormously overwhelming and difficult for some it can be deemed impossible. I primarily focus myself on patience, empathy, and comfort. Students will discover they are capable of accomplishing so much more when they place themselves in the appropriate environment with the correct support system and slowly defeat the fear of failure while embracing the rewards of learning. I can see the potential in any individual and will never give up on a student. I am currently a Biology Major at the University of Southern Maine. I have completed my degree requirements for my BS, I’m finishing up by taking an additi

I believe knowledge and success go hand-in-hand. That’s one of the main reasons I enjoy teaching and tutoring students of all ages. I’m grateful for the people in my life that have taken the time to teach and show me various things. I enjoy doing the same, passing along any knowledge that I’ve gained because information should be shared. I try to structure my teaching style to be a bit informal, so the student feels comfortable learning and asking questions. I also try to structure my teaching around the students learning style so that they can get the most out of the session. Lastly, I try to show any tricks for remembering certain information that either I was taught by my own professors or that I came up with during my own studies. I graduate May 2009 from Simmons College with a BS in Biochemistry. My courses taken during my undergraduate career were heavily focused in the scie

I have had an opportunity to teach in several different locations and age groups. I first taught in a low income preschool where I focused on making children excited to learn through presenting the material in an interesting manor. Next, I spent two semesters in college working as a general chemistry lab instructor. I used the scientific method to have the students reach conclusions on their own and to have to present and explain these conclusions to their peers. I spent the last two years as a Peace Corps Volunteer where I gave many training and worked to teach a youth group. I tried to remain culturally sensitive and work to have the students remain comfortable and work to collaborate with each other. I received my BS in chemistry from the University of Pittsburgh. I worked as a laboratory instructor for general chemistry where I was responsible for students’ utilizing proper safety t

My experiences as a tutor and teacher have taught me enthusiasm and encouragement go a long way in helping a student both tackle and tolerate, if not enjoy, the subject. A few small successes give a student the self esteem to continue pursuing harder problems in a difficult subject. It is always important to start small, and work one's way up at the student's own personal pace. Adapting to the learning style of the individual is extremely important when working one-on-one. There are many ways to learn; verbal, visual, hands-on, reading instructions, etc... Learning is never one-size-fits-all and I try to keep that in mind as I teach. As an undergraduate, I was an enthusiastic student and often helped and tutored my peers. I began to tutor "professionally" my second year, teaching chemistry and mathematics to college students. I was chosen by my biochemistry professor to teach chemistry t
