Genetics Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Brooks, GA

I have not only taken several courses in genetics (including independent study of the genetics of development), but I have taught a basic genetics course. I have also tutored many students in various areas of genetics. As a teacher and tutor, I focus on developing conceptual knowledge (rather than memorization), and structured study methods, problem-solving techniques, and test-taking skills,including post-test analyses of mistakes as a learning tool. I encourage the student to develop skills appropriate not only to the discipline, but to his or her own personal learning style. I like to use on-line interactive tutorials, especially with students who are highly visual or hands-on learners. At the same time, as a tutor,I like to interact with the student's instructor (and, where appropriate, the parents) to best serve his or her needs. I have taught at three universities (The Universi

I am able to curb my teaching style around the learner's learning style. I have experience in all forms of teaching. I am a certified genetic counselor and received my Masters in Medical Genetics/Genetic Counseling from the University of Cincinnati. I worked as a Clinical Research Coordinator in Cincinnati for two years while taking courses towards a Masters in Secondary Education in Biology. I have taught students of all ages including freshman in high school and undergraduate college students in genetics. I specialize in anything medical genetics related including molecular genetics, cytogenetics, risk assessment, psychosocial counseling, ethics in medicine, cancer genetics, prenatal genetics, adult onset genetic disorders, and pediatrics (which includes metabolic disorders, cardiovascular genetics, chromosomal conditions, etc.).

My tutoring style is calm, patient, and encouraging. I have high expectations for my tutoring students. I also strive to discover how a student learns, whether it be seeing it, hearing it, feeling it, or a combination of the three. I am a proponent of hands-on learning, and believe that a tutor’s role is to be a facilitator of a student’s curiosity and achievements. Through implementing a learning plan with attainable goals based on the student’s background and individual learning style, he or she can not only successfully learn the material, but enjoy exploring the depths of the subject matter. I desire that my students have fun with their learning (creativity is key!) by providing them with the tools to achieve success.

I find that most students just don't know how to study Biology. I like to assess the students' familiarity and background with the subject and then discuss study options. Some people resond to flash cards, others to practice tests, and still more to oral quizzing. Maybe it needas to be a combination, but we work until we find a system that works. Then we tackle the subject material. As an undergraduate, I was selected to be a tutor in the on-campus tutoring center, where I tutored students in all the sciences. This was where I discovered my talent and passion for tutoring and teaching. After college, I worked part-time as a para-professional tutor for a local junior college. Once I married and started a family, I used my MS in Biology to its full advantage by working part-time as an adjunct professor in Biology for local colleges.

As an undergraduate student I was always in the top ten percentile of my math, chemistry and biology classes, and as a result, I tutored fellow college students in those respective subjects. After earning my bachelor degree in biology, I worked as an educator at the South Carolina Aquarium where I taught interactive classes to kindergarten, middle school and high school students. I also worked for the Leadership Development Program at the College of Charleston where I co-facilitated student leadership classes. And most recently, while in graduate school I held a teaching assistant position and tutored freshman and sophomore college students in topics related to international development. My teaching style is based on the student’s learning style. Each child is different and may require different teaching methods to facilitate learning. Some children are more visual and may require more i

I taught in public school and private. While doing so and during summers, I tutored on my own. I got married in 1986, had three children and stayed out of the classroom for a while. I homeschooled my own children and began an ACCREDITED highschool for home schoolers. I taught and tutored all subjects. I have also worked with several learning disabled children. I can teach/tutor pretty much any subject ages K-college. I have also worked in the Writing Lab at Clayton State College. I feeel very qualified for this job. I love children of all ages, including Middle School and Highschool. I do not alweats go by the book. I do what I feel is best for that particular child's learning style. I teach outside the box and encourage learning rather than straight memorization. I help children love learning.

I have been involved with tutoring at a very young age. I remember being in elementary school reading to the younger children that could not read. I am an advocate of every child receiving a fair chance at success in education. I have earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a Master of Science in Cellular Biology, enabling me to gain a thorough appreciation of math and science at all levels. In addition I have tutored students in several different aspects of these subjects including physical science, biology and algebra. Former students of mine have successfully passed both the CRCT and Georgia High School Standards tests in math and science. As a trained research scientist I consider myself a liaison between the scientific genre and the student.

My 20+ year teaching career began in high school when I ran an after-school tutoring program. At the University of Georgia I tutored for the chemistry and biology departments. I earned a BS in Genetics and a Masters of Education. I taught biology, physical science, ecology, and human anatomy in 2 public high schools in Georgia. I was nominated Teacher of the Year and earned the Georgia Science Teacher of Promise Award. Since then I have tutored math, science, reading, and test prep for grades 5-12 and college. I have recently renewed my Georgia Teaching Certificate for grades PK-5 and 7-12. I am very much a hands-on instructor. Long ago, I heard the Chinese Proverb “I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.” These words embody my personal teaching philosophy. I utilize a varied and balanced set of teaching strategies that will meet the needs of all types of learn

I have a bachelor degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry, which has allowed me to gain a deep understanding of both sciences. I was also a Mathematics tutor at Florida A&M University for about two years. I tutored everything from grammar school mathematics up to Calculus II. I have also tutored my fellow classmates in the field of Biology. What makes me a great tutor is my patience and understanding of a student in need. I believe all children are capable of success but sometimes may need a little extra help to get there. My teaching style is one of comparisons and analogies. Sometimes students just do not understand the mathematical terms. For this reason, I compare problems to something the student is familiar with, allow them to see the connection to the problem at hand and then guide them to solving the problem. This strategy has proven to be very successful and I've ofte

I believe that teaching is most effective when you give students a chance to show you what they already know. Half of teaching is simply encouraging children to be interested in their own progress and to persevere through the adversity that always follows real learning. I gage the progress of my students by asking them a lot of questions, and I give positive reinforcement whenever possible. I want to be a positive role model for every child I come across, and to participate in the process of discovery with them in a personal way. Most rewarding is the way that my students have taught me more things than I would have ever expected. I love to see my students' progress as they find their own paths, and to celebrate each students' uniqueness. I am graduating from Rice University with a B.S. in Biochemistry and Cell Biology and a B.A. in Asian Studies this year. I have achieved a cumulative G

I earned a BS in Computer Science from Berry College with a minor in Animal Science and one class short of a second minor in English. During my senior year I worked as a teaching assistant, helping the freshman programming class complete their assignments as well as grading their work and running study sessions. I just finished a master's in computer science at Rice University (degree to be awarded December 2010) and during my time at Rice I was a TA both for their freshman class as well as for the advanced Operating Systems class. Before I graduated I spent summers teaching horseback riding to children. Currently, I am independently tutoring a sixth grader in math twice a week. I have spent many years working with students of all ages, from my summer jobs running horse camps for children to my time in college as a teaching assistant for introductory classes.

I believe the keys to teaching and tutoring are patience and encouragement. Everyone has their strong areas and their weak areas. However, I do believe that each student can get through any subject with the right methods. I believe that if one method is unsuccessful, then we try something new until we find what works for that particular student. With patience and perseverence, I fervently believe that all students can achieve their highest goals. At the beginning of my junior high year, I began to seriously wonder what I would do as an adult. My tenth grade year gave me the answer. I instantly loved Biology and because of a generous and wonderful teacher who was patient and explained all the things I could do in the Biology field, I knew this was my nitch.
