Earth Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Boerne, TX

My classes are by no means easy, I prepare my students for life, even if that means having students leave my class with “their head hurting” because they had to think too much. I believe my ultimate philosophy has been that learning should hurt a little bit. If the classroom environment is not provocative, controversial, and challenging, I think the teacher has fallen short of his or her task. On the other hand, I am not afraid of being down-to-earth, funny, or look unusual if I have to do so. I have extensive work experience and knowledge in the areas of Adult Education and Literacy, teaching English as a Second Language, Math and Science. I would like to share my enthusiasm for these subjects, and education in general. My teaching experiences in Adult Education and Literacy at Northside ISD, San Antonio Texas have allowed me to work with students from diverse backgrounds. During my te

Let me know what doesn't work for you, and I will definitely adapt to what might work. I am very knowledgable in most biological sciences, and have loved doing the work that it takes to make good grades in each of them. I have had the pleasure of helping many students reach the same success, and look forward to doing so for others. Professionally, I have worked with children with and without disabilities to give them the skills needed to become better learners-and have tutored both high school aged children and college students.

I have worked in a wide variety of socioeconomic school settings, which makes me quite versatile when it comes to my approach to teaching. I start from the ground-up, first forming a cognitive scaffold for a subject by teaching the very basics. From there we branch off into more and more complex tasks. I have experience with graphic design and animation programs and love to use technology aids whenever possible. When all else fails I draw upon knowledge the student already possesses and attempt to form analogous models that are easier to understand. I have had experience in the classroom teaching the three major sciences (physics, chemistry, and biology) at the high school level and also did an apprenticeship as part of a graduate program for UT Health Science Center at San Antonio. My combined experience allows me to construct learning models based on analysis of individual students

I hold a Masters in Mathematics and a Bachelors in Molecular Biology. My teaching certification is EC-6 and just added ESL certified. I am a certified teacher and have been teaching for 8 years in elementary school. I began my teaching career by accident leaving the law enforcement field to work initially part-time as a teacher. However I really enjoyed working with children and found that I was good at it. Over the years it has been nice to hear both parents, teachers, and children comment that I have made a difference in their lives and that I have helped make them the young people that they are shaping to be. Many children and parents have said that while I was tough I have helped them stay in school and become A students. This motivates me to continue to do my best in my job and for the kids. I believe all children learn at there own style and pace and that we as teachers need to

I recently graduated from the University of Texas double majoring in History and Biology. I have worked as a biology teacher for a freshman year biology course. My specialty was marine biology, and I have lots of experience in field and laboratory research, which has influenced my love for science. History started as a hobby and turned into a passion of mine. My teaching style is very energetic and I love participation by the students. I think students can learn better through experiencing the information rather than just hearing it.

Working hard and always driven is how I was able to obtain a Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies with a concentration in Bilingual 4th – 8th grade. Sul Ross State University gave me the tools and expertise needed in order to achieve mastery on my chosen career in education as well as making me proficient in all academic areas such as English, Math, and Science including Bilingual Education.Furthermore my college courses at Sul Ross made me alert to the importance of hands on activities, visuals aids and providing individualized instructional support for a diverse population.During the last four years Ive had the privilege to gain a great deal of knowledge and to experience working with kids on a day to day basis. Working with kids is my fascination. I believe that teaching children should not be standing up and lecturing or simply explaining something. Its about getting to kno

I began my teaching career in South San Antonio, teaching at both the elementary level (K and 3) and at the middle school (6-8). At Shepard Middle School, I implemented a writing program that was credited with bringing standardized (TAAS at the time) scores up substantially, garnering our school a large monetary award from the state. After twelve years, I moved to the North East ISD, where I taught English at both Nimitz Middle School and Barbara Bush Middle School. I retired last June, but I still love working with children of all ages. I believe in relationships first. If a teacher knows her/his students, she/he can usually find what motivates them and use that to gain their trust and interest. Having taught for as long as I have, I know of many different ways to reach students. A positive attitude and an easy going personality go a long way, and I am known for both.

My teaching style is best described as adaptable to the unique learning styles of students. One of the best methods I employ is modeling, using multiple examples that students can understand and apply to their subject. I work at creating an environment conducive to productive learning that is fun because I believe learning is a lifelong privilege. I believe once a student finds the key to unlocking the secret to learning, they will flourish and find an appetite for discovery. After graduating from college, I began my teaching career in middle school using Abeka curriculum for two years, and then stayed home after having my first child. For the next 16 years I remained at home raising four children, nurturing, educating and home schooling them at times. In 1998, I returned to the classroom and taught 5th grade until 2006, again using the Abeka curriculum each year. After I moved to

I graduated from St. Mary's University with two science bachelor's degrees. I have both a bachelor's in biology and chemistry. I tutored organic chemistry while I was a student. I found that I enjoyed helping people understand difficult subjects.I also attended UTSA and graduated with a Master's degree in biology with a concentration in Neuroscience. I have over six years of tutoring experience in biology and chemistry from high school to graduate levels. I truly enjoy working with individuals at all levels. I feel that all people can learn and that they just need to be shown that science is not too difficult, but very interesting especially if you put the time in. The best value that any person can achieve is a great education because when all is said and done that is something that can never be taken away from you.

Whether it is in front of a class of 40 or one-on-one, I have been endowed not only with the talent to teach, but also with the God-given ability to motivate. Most students hate my guts for the first week or two because I do not tolerate underachievement from anyone, including parents; but down the line the most frequent evaluation I receive is, “Mr. C, you are awesome.” There is no one who cannot be motivated to learn something well; and I always associate what must be learned with what a student's passion is or in what he/she is already interested. My students do not just learn the subject I teach. They learn how to learn and think "out of the box" and how to become a success. My teaching credentials are in English and education. However... At the middle school level and high school level, I have taught/tutored English composition, geography, history, soci

I love passing my knowledge onto students. I am passionate about science and I teach enthusiastically. I try to incorporate a lot of real world examples into the lessons so the students relate. I am patient with students who struggle and I go to great lengths to make sure that the students understand what I am teaching. I have had much experience teaching chemistry at the university level. I have also had a lot of experience tutoring high school students in math, physics and chemistry. I have also had a lot of research experience and this has given me a firm basis of applied knowledge which helps me to understand and convey the implications of what I am teaching.
