The school is the place where the tools and environment are available for students to satisfy their curiosity and desire to learn. The challenge for any teacher is to identify the needs of students coming from diverse backgrounds. In the classroom, teaching means delivering the principles and concepts in a manner that students can understand and relate to. It is also important to connect the theory and application. For example, relating textbook knowledge of enzymes to real world applications such as drug metabolism can have a tremendous impact on generating the interests of students and helping them retain, explore and exploit the basic knowledge delivered in a course. A highly engaging lecture may inspire students to become curious about material that is beyond the scope of the class. Therefore, outside of the classroom, teacher accessibility is vital.

I have graduated from two major universities and will attend medical school at Nova Southeastern University in August 2011. I have just recently graduated from USF College of Medicine with a Master’s degree in Medical Sciences and hold a degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology from the University of Illinois. I have extensive research experience in bioinformatics from the University of Illinois. I have one year experience tutoring in the underprivileged area of Urbana, Illinois; at Garden Hills Elementary I tutored kids from 3rd and 5th grade classes who had fallen behind the scheduled lesson plan. I have also tutored my fellow classmates at both universities throughout the years and graduated with a GPA of 3.50 and 3.10, respectively. Teaching style involves organized and systematic approach to biology. I have been a student of two major universities one of which involved taking medica

As a recent graduate from the College of William & Mary, I have earned a bachelor’s degree (BS) in Neuroscience and a minor in Biochemistry. As a tutor for four years, I have tutored both college athletes and students in subjects including Calculus I and II, Biology, Organic Chemistry and General Chemistry. Additionally, I am experienced in tutoring high school students in subjects including chemistry, algebra I and II, precalculus, and calculus. As a student mentor for six years for Big Brothers Big Sisters, I have tutored elementary school-age children in subjects including language arts, math and science. I was awarded Big Sister of the Year for Greater Williamsburg. Due to my love for science, I plan to attend dental school this fall. I am compassionate, patient, and sincere. I employ various teaching styles depending on the age and needs of the student. For college and high school s

As an Ivy League graduate, I was very much driven to achieve a level of excellence in education. I have earned one bachelor degrees, BS in Clinical laboratory Science and two Master degree in clinical laboratory Majoring Microbiology/Research,managment, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math and science. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers and laboratory repylogorts, along with essays in many various areas of study. During the last thirteen years I have tutored students in microbiology,hematology,chemistry,mathematics, and sciences. I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am available to help your child find academic success. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I am a firm

I really enjoy working with young teens. I have worked in high schools for 25 years in Virginia and West Virginia. I have always had good rapport with teens and have enjoyed interacting with them. I have been trained in the Constructivist approach to teaching, but have had to change my style of teaching in order to cover materials necessary for SOL testing in recent years. I know that students retain more knowledge when they are involved in discovering new information and would love to have the latitude to teach in that manner again. I feel like I have made a difference in many young people's lives throughout my career. I have taught just about all secondary levels of science throughout my teaching career. I have typically worked in county schools where each member of the department had to take on multiple tasks. I have taught chemistry, physics, biology, earth science, environmental sci

The joy that teaching and interacting with children brings is indescribable; there are few things that can match the satisfaction one feels when a pupil finally "gets it!" I believe that true education comes through understanding. Oftentimes students are taught tricks or rules to help them through a subject area, but I strive to bring my students to a point of clarity; I want them to be completely comfortable with the subject content because they understand it, not because they memorized a formula. Therefore, I am a firm believer in teaching the material and not simply teaching students how to answer a particular question. I am a recent honors graduate of the Virginia Military Institute with a degree in civil and environmental engineering. This course of academic study exposed me to a broad range of upper-level mathematics, physics, and chemistry. During my college career I voluntee
