Pre-Med Biology/Biomedical Health Concentration Degree

I tend to adapt to how the student learns, and what motivates him or her
My name is Brian, I Graduated Longwood University of Farmville Virginia's Pred med Biology/ Biomedical Health Concentration Bachelor's of Science degree program. I analyzed and processed the water of streams, ponds, creeks and run-offs under the Appomattox River Water Quality Monitoring Program through Longwood University and the Department of Environmental Quality and Environmental Protection Agency closely monitoring levels of Escherichia Coli and heterotrophic bacteria. I was in the American Society of Microbiology and gave a presentation at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) regarding this information. I was a teacher's assistant and intern for Microbiology and Biology 121 in college. I worked with autoclaves, incubators, and have manipulated many different diseases and strands of bacteria and media. ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My approach is to encourage students to define their learning goals and then to discover how the learning the content can help them achieve their goals. I like to use real life examples to help students recall what they have learned. I am less interested in rote memorization. I tend to be structured and patient.
I am a seasoned veteran of working for a large agency with multiple responsibilities across the State of Virginia. I have been tutoring, mentoring, teaching, training, and instructing on many subjects during my career. I have passion and dedication to whatever subjects I teach and I plan to impart a sense of enthusiasm in the subject matter with my students. I also teach coursework at the University level.

More About This Tutor...

I have over 10 years of experience in the education field with a special love for tutoring Mathematics. My experience is extensive as I ran my own tutoring business for 3 years doing mostly freelance work in college. The unique thing about my experience is that I have tutored ages 8-28 through my many recipients. I have a knack for getting children and adults excited to learn whether it is through motivation outside the subject area, or showing them that they can in fact do this.
My teaching style is upbeat and positive. If I cannot be excited for my subject areas. Why should any student I tutor?

I do not know what my teaching style is. I have instructed large groups and had one on one learning sessions as well. I have dominated the communication time and I have been a listener. I have out right provided examples and I have merely provided encouragement for a student to continue their thought process. I believe everyone learns differently and therefore it is important to be flexible. The main goal, after all, is not to see discover how great I am as a tutor; rather it is to see how much a student can gain and retain knowledge from a learning session.
I earned my BS in Chemistry with a GPA 3.57. I then took the GRE and ACS entrance exams for graduate school, I passed all four division with 20-60 percentile of the national avg. During my undergraduate education I was a tutor and earned level one training certification. In graduate school I instructed lab courses and tutored i ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

When I teach reading, I convey my love of reading. When I teach math, I convey the logical beauty of math. When I teach other subjects, I stress the importance of the material and how it is relevant to everyday life. In Sunday school this week, we combined with another class, so there were people there who aren’t usually. Several of them thanked me and let me know how much they got out of it. My response is that I am a teacher. It’s who I am and what I do.
I was a corporate trainer for 3 years, followed by 12 years serving as a software instructor. Prior to and throughout this time, I also taught Sunday school and Vacation Bible school, teaching everyone from 2 year olds to adults. I spent one summer as a reading tutor, and many of my software classes have been 1-on-1 tutoring sessions. I have volunteered as an SOL coach and in Head Start classrooms.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching all ages, but have experience working with college freshman. I believe that these students are at an age where they need to realize their dreams and need help to gain confidence within themselves. My strong point is within Math, but also comprehension. Written words and puzzles are not always easily understood. Some people need facts to help them learn or examples.
I have worked with college students in the past, working with comprehensive learning and mathematics. I learned that each student understands in their own personal way; some learn by seeing something concrete and for others it is working through the steps in the problem that helps them understand. I have also had the experience of teaching a freshman seminar class where the focus was finding the students strong point or drive and having them research their major or likes to find what job fields might fi ... read more

I was a tutor for the School of Business and Economics in Elizabeth City where I earned by BS in Business in 2003. I tutored beginning through Intermediate accounting, Principles of Marketing and other business subjects from 2000-2003. I was a formal tutor for one year and a student tutor for 2 years. I currently tutor family members, friends and church members in all basic elementary through college subjects. (ex. Algebra, Physics, Chemistry, Accounting, Statistics,English etc. ) Basically, if you have a book or instructions we can get a passing grade out of the class. I feel comfortable and I am qualified to tutor through Spanish II.
As a tutor, I review previous test, quizzes and work with the student to see where the "disconnect" lies. Most students are very capable, they just need someone to explain the material in a way they understand. Some students are visiual learners, ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I firmly believe ALL children can learn, but not everyone learns in the same way. I do my best to make a positive difference in their lives. I'm very patient and always listen to my students. I give my students tips to help them learn something and get them to repeat information back to me as we work so I know they understand. I give immediate feedback while working with my students and, when working one-on-one or in small groups, I will sit down and work side-by-side with them. I work with students I'm tutoring in as comfortable and familiar a place as possible, yet with as few distractions as possible, to promote learning.
I have spent most of my adult life helping children learn. I have worked in childcare facilities, as well as in public and private schools and as a private tutor. I have taught or worked with preschoolers through 5th graders. I've worked with special needs chil ... read more

Teaching has always been my calling because I love children. All children are learners, just in different ways. I enjoy finding what it is that drives a child to learn. I am a huge advocate of using technology to facilitate learning. I also believe that learning should be meaningful and build upon prior experiences. Education is key, and great educators look first at the child and then within to find strategies to best reach each child's needs.
I have gained diverse teaching experience beginning in college, in which I taught a class to struggling freshman. I then attained my Master's in Teaching. Because I was a December graduate, I worked for the remaining school year with elementary-aged students who needed additional services in reading. I then moved into the full-time classroom, in which I specialize in reading, math, science, social studies, and technology.

I am a recent graduate of Liberty University and graduated a member of two honor societies including Aplha Lambda Delta and Psi Chi, the National Honor Society of Psychology. I earned a BS in Psychology with a focus in Human Services and Counseling, and a minor in Biblical Studies. My experience has given me a knowledge of psychology, basic math skills including statistics,biblical studies, english, history, and experience writing papers in MLA, APA, and Turabian.
I love helping children and youth learn to the best of their ability. I will work to adapt to a child's learning style and believe that with the right teaching style, patience, and with time a child can excel in any subject. I strive to be patient, passionate, and discerning. My goal is for each child to walk away from every session feeling confident about themselves and with a sense of accomplishment.
