More About This Tutor...

I am a Georgia Certified Science Teacher with approximately fourteen years teaching experience in Georgia. I have taught Physical Science, Environmental Science, Genetics, Chemistry, Biology and Oceanography at the High School level and Life Science to Middle School students. I have prepared diverse students for all of the middle-high school standardized tests and have received satisfactory results. I have mostly taught students who needed external motivation and support since this was not available in their respective home environments. As an educator I believe all students can learn and I am always willing to find the appropriate strategies to help each one learn effectively.
My current teaching style is adaptable to the learning styles of the students that I am teaching. In general, if I am teaching a certain topic, I will first ask students a few questions on the topic in ... read more

I taught college-level students in the classroom and in an aquatic environment for three years. I also taught aspiring instructors on an ad hoc basis during that period. I have classroom experience with high school children in a special education setting, involving an extreme amount of patience and a willingness to find different ways in which to impart learning on non-traditional students.
I believe in short-term goal attainment. I first assess what the student feels they know, then look at what needs to be learned and from that I build a goal-oriented task set that should result in a learned skill set. I am also very good at thinking outside the box in order to get the skill set learned and to effect "true learning" as opposed to parroted learning.

More About This Tutor...

I use positive motivation with my students, explaining how subject matter being covered should relate to them and their future successes. I try to link the subjects with current events and how lack of knowledge on specific subjects can cost them either financially or impact their health and well being. For example, when I encounter a senior who is not participating in class, I give them an employment application to fill out, explaining if they have difficulty completing it, they better join the class.
I graduated LSU and was commissioned as an officer in the US Air Force. I completed Transportation Officer courses on vehicle fleet management, commercial transportation, and staff logistics officer training related to airlift terminal management and operations. I also attended and graduated from the Traffic Accident Investigation and Traffic Control course. I have been a business con ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Science, and in particular, Biology, has always been a passion of mine. It is my professional goal to increase the science literacy level for my community by sharing my experiences and knowledge with students at the high school level. In addition to completing the course work required to obtain a Biology Education degree, I have taught in a pilot school for a standard based curriculum in which units were presented in nine-week segments, allowing for quarterly benchmark assessment of student achievement. The design was used to support teachers in the implementation of assessments and teaching-learning activities relative to the Georgia Performance Standards (GPS).
I have teaching experience in Anatomy and Physiology (honors), Biology (honors and on-level), and Life Science (honors and on-level). I have served as an AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) and America Reads tu ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy teaching and tutoring others. I am from a family of four, and as the eldest child I tutored all my siblings in science subject areas were they had difficulties. I like to help kids that have an interest in science. I try to instill the enjoyment I have for the subject.
I have earned a Doctoral degree in Medicine and a Masters degree in Public Health concentrating in Epidemiology and Bioststatistics. As a research scientist, some of the subjects that I had to do well in were math, biology, chemistry and physics. I supervise various levels of our staff and have been told by my peers that I am a good teacher.

I am currently teaching anatomy and physiology courses to students training to become licensed Registered Nurses. The courses focus on basic science principles and the relationship of these concepts to human function and structure, clinically.
I have experience teaching at a university as a Teacher's Assistant in chemistry. The classes would meet before a test and discuss the analytical techniques of the course. I am currently teaching an Anatomy and Physiology course for nurses looking to pass the RN liscensing exam. My approach to teaching is centered around the particular goals of the student or students. Clearly, a course centered around a liscensing test will focus on the material that will be on that test. Otherwise, teaching has to be catered to the student's ability to learn the material and focus on the weakness in understanding the concepts involved in the material.

I am a licensed physical therapist in both Georgia and New York. For as long as I could remember, I have dreamed of becoming an educator. I earned my B.S. in Biology, with minors in Kinesiology and Psychology and went on to earn my Doctorate in Physical Therapy. Throughout my collegiate years I have tutored many, but as a clinician I have been involved in conducting several in-services to my colleagues.
I am a very patient individual. Each child/ person is different, as are their styles of learning. Education should be fun and challenging, allowing children to have something to strive towards, rather than settle. The key is to finding the tools that will allow you to reach the goal of academic excellence.

As a member of the Golden Key Honor Society in Education at Queens College in Flushing, NY I excelled at all the subjects I took pertaining to Elementary Education. I have a full awareness of the importance for structure and flow within an essay. Voice is sometimes overlooked, but is equally essential in representing the author's conviction to the subject matter of their work.
After teaching for 25 years, the first and most important element of interaction between a student and a teacher is one of mutual respect. The student wants the teacher to listen to their needs and concerns, and the teacher wants to be respected for his/her wealth of knowledge through experience. This is built through patience and understanding. A personal relationship is also helpful in tutoring, more on the level of a parent or adult friend.

I have tutored my own children and have taught them to think cr itically and I tutored for 2 years as a Grad Assitant. I have worked in the Biological Science field for many years and I really enjoy teaching kids about science and it's impact on society
Inquiry- I want the kids to learn through inquiry. Figuring out a problem through experimentation and critical thought of outcomes. I like to start with the basics and go from there. For older students, college and adults, I teach them study skills and notetaking and then go over the subject matter that they learned in class,

Prior to pursuing a career in the health field, I always wanted to teach. I began my journey tutoring children with in my religious community, and then worked as a junior assistant for Kumon. After I started college, most of my experience was with individual tutoring. I tutored in algebra, biology, calculus etc. I am a determined person in that education lights ones future, and if I am a way through which someone can pursue the best with help, I am ever present.
I believe in critical thinking and relation between topics. I believe that individuals learn best by relating what they are learning to things they already know. Of course, every individual has their own learning styles so I also believe that the individual's learning style should be evaluated prior to the session beginning. Then, to use the tools that can best help that individual understand.

I hold a bachelor of science in Biology (cum laude) from Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA and attended graduate school at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine where I studied Molecular and Cell Biology and completed all coursework required of the Ph.D. Since graduate school, I have over 10 years of biology research experience in both academic and biotech settings. My research, teaching and training experience covers the entirety of essential topics in biology and chemistry. In addition, my solid oral and written communication skills, and excellent computer fluency are just a few of my relevant assets.
I believe that science has a undeserved reputation for difficulty as a subject that is directly related to the inability of many teachers to "break it down". Science can seem to be like a foreign language to the uninitiated, but at its essence science is simply a way of ... read more
