Earth Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Young Harris, GA

I was a teaching assistant at North Georgia College and State University for three years. I assisted with laboratory sections of biology courses and taught them in the event of a professors absence. I provided department funded tutoring services during that time as well. I have taken the GRE and Biology Section of the GRE and received excellent scores on both tests in only one sitting. I have also coached 4H horse quiz bowl and horse judging teams for several years working with elementary and middle school age children.

I helped elementary kids in highschool ('08-'09). I was a peer facilitator for highschool Biology and Advanced Placement Psychology ('09), and I have various experience helping others understand the subjects they have trouble with. I'm not a know-it-all (math is my weakness) so I understand the other side of the coin and how sometimes you just need a different way to learn. Let's figure that out together.

I enjoy teaching and working with all students from a variety of social economic backgrounds. All children are capable of learning, but in different ways and at their own pace. I try to instill a love of learning in my students along with building their self esteem and confidence. I love being a role model for them. I am very patient, kind, understanding, flexible, and easy going. Students should come first. Educators can and should make a positive difference in their students' lives. I use a variety of teaching styles, depending on my students' needs, the curriculum, and the objectives being taught. I also like to have an environment that is conducive to learning. I am an experienced elementary classroom teacher. I have earned a bachelor degree, BS in Elementary Education with a minor in history, and a MEd in Educational Administration and Supervision. During my teaching career I have

As a graduate of a major urban university and a person who has been well trained through rigorous Air Force courses, I have the formal education to have an impact on students. I have served as a state legislator, serve at Headquarters of the Georgia Air National Guard, write professionally,served as chairman of the local library board and have worked as a teacher for the last three years. I have also taught in the military. I enjoy working with young people Children and youth are our greatest asset. I believe that all children can be reached. The key is to connect with them early and establish mutual respect. I am patient but I also know how to ensure that the pace is maintained for the good of everyone. I have had many interesting experiences in my life which allow me to relate to people from different backgrounds

In 2006 I taught graphic design topics at Westwood College. In 2007 I taught the same subject at The Creative Circus (roughly equivalent to an MBA program for designers, writers, photographers, and art directors). In 2008 I taught in the design department for Georgia State University. This summer I traveled to a remote region in India to teach English. I have taught GRE prep for the past 3 years, covering the verbal, quantitative (math), and analytical writing (essay) areas. As a test prep teacher, I have a close knowledge of students' approach to graduate school, and the process of improving their chances of acceptance to schools of choice. I am academically qualified and more especially interested in teaching humanities courses. The method of teaching I prefer is maieutic, i.e., one which draws knowledge from the student, rather than attempts to place it in him/her from without.

Each person learns differently. It is a primary responsibility of an instructor to find a method that will resonate and stick with the student to ensure success. Any student should be given every opportunity to find that internal gratification that only comes with mastery over a particular obstacle. That method of accomplishment, in turn, becomes habit forming. And as an instructor, little compares with the feeling when an idea takes root within a student. I have extensive experience in academic work, specifically in the areas of math and science. In earning both a BS and MS in Materials Science and Engineering, I not only developed an understanding of mathematical and scientific principles, but I learned how to work and communicate in groups to further common interests. As a graduate student at the University of Washington, I served as a teaching assistant, leading both recitation sect

I have tutored children of all ages, and adapt my teaching style to the student's needs. Patience and perseverance are my core characteristics, and those are the two qualities that I try to instill in all of my students. I am a very avid learner and have earned two degrees from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill: a BA in psychology and a JD. I taught science classes to children ages 4 - 12 during my law school career. I tutored elementary school students in basic math, grammar and science during my last two years of undergraduate work. During my first two years of undergraduate studies, I tutored college students in math and English

As I suffered through my younger years with Attention Deficit Disorder, I feel that it is extremely important to appeal to almost all of the senses when teaching. As for myself, I am definitely a visual learner, so I feel that visual aids are important. I am a big fan of hand outs in full color. You will often find me drawing a picture on the board. I feel it is important to hear it and see it, and if you can, touch it. Another important teaching style I implement, is watching my students and making sure they know how to do it. Going around and walking each student through the process and asking them to do what I did really confirms that the student understands what I have taught them. As a former computer instructor, I can't tell you how much I miss teaching. Teaching was the one career in my life where I felt completely fulfilled. I truly love sharing my knowledge and being abl

I graduated from Western Carolina University with a degree in Middle Grades Education with concentrations in Math & Science. As a student I worked in the classroom for 3 semesters doing various jobs. I have tutored students in Math, Science, Language Arts and Social Studies. I have currently been working for Macon County Schools, substitute teaching and tutoring for the end of grade tests. I love teaching and everything about it. I believe that anyone can tell you about a subject area, but I believe it takes a special person to be able to teach it to students. Not every student learns the same way. I like to include several different teaching styles to help every student have success. Whether it be lecturing, hands on examples, letting the students discover on their own through examples, using tangible items or practicing test skills I think I can include these different strategie

My beliefs are that all children can learn, however, they must learn at their own pace and in their own way. This may mean being extremely patient and empathetic, not sympathetic, to their needs and using their strengths to build confidence while using their weaknesses to set goals. Blooms taxonomy is essential to use for setting standards and assessment of student learning. I apply this to my teaching methods as much as possible along with using hands on experiences to build student interest. I am available evenings and weekends for tutoring. I am very patient and easy going but firm. I hope to provide a comfortable tutoring session in which the student gains confidence in order to succeed in the future! After earning my BS in Elementary Education at Western Carolina, I became a tutor, part time assistant in Jackson County Schools (as an assistant in two ESL classrooms-one at a high

I have an educational background in biology, but also have developed strong English and writing skills during college, and since, through journal-keeping and creative writing. My degree at UNC-Chapel Hill emphasized liberal arts, thus providing a well-rounded educational experience. I did especially well in college at writing laboratory reports in chemistry and biology classes. I have maintained an interest in the life sciences through reading science-related magazines, such as Natural History and National Geographic, and spending much of my time off exploring the natural world on hiking trips. Due to having strengths in both science and English, I believe that I could tutor in either discipline. I tutored an elementary school boy in reading as a volunteer tutor at Asheville Middle School during the 2007-2008 school year. The Asheville-Buncombe Education Coalition administered the
