Genetics Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Central Square, NY

My teaching style reflects the way I learn best. I find that hands on learning is by far the most effective, a fun educational memory is much easier to recall than a set of hard facts. I am a recent graduate from SUNY ESF with a passion for education. I am proficient in many fields of science, ranging from earth science to limnology. Although I've never professionally tutored, I have experience teaching middle school groups about aquatic entomology and forest ecology at Clark's Reservation. I have taken several classes where I learned to design lesson plans and how to properly communicate with varying age groups.

I'm a fifth-teen year old, currently enrolled at Thomas J. Corcoran High School, where I am a sophomore I currently take IB classes and wanted to start tutoring to pass the time and pick up a little extra cash. I'm drug free and have never tasted alcohol. I try to be patient and usually am. I'd prefer to work with children still in elementary or middle school, seeing as I haven't learned everything yet. I know the basic and more to just about everything eighth grade and below. Typically the setting in which the tutoring will take place will be my house in my dining room area and after that the student may watch television until his or her parent or guardian is there to pick them up.

4 years of professional and peer tutoring experience through SUNY system schools including University at Buffalo and SUNY Morrisville, and occasional private students from schools SUNY Albany, Cortland, and Lemoyne College. Mostly upper level science classes. Also experienced in preparing for health related graduate and undergraduate exams including the GRE, MCAT and the NLN entrance exam. My track record with students speaks for itself and I've been happy to help students improve in pursuit of their academic goals. Based on students learning style, an overview of the material is presented, followed by hands on activities to reinforce concepts.

As a teacher of urban students and students who have experienced sever trauma (Hillside), I have gained a thorough understanding of the challenges faced by children today such as home environment and poverty. My teaching style is very structured and includes various modes of instruction. I try to utilize cooperative learning strategies when ever possible. Students can learn alot from each other both intellectually as well as socially. To help students to learn the vast amount of vocabulary included in most science curriculums I teach my students to determine word meanings by braking words down into their latin roots or “decoding”. I also like to teach students important study skills as well as test taking strategies. I have over two and a half years of teaching experience at the high school level. After earning my Masters Degree in Secondary Education from Le Moyne College in 2006

My previous experiences provide a unique benefit in the classroom. I do not only have the science knowledge but I bring real world practicality of the material being taught. Students will relate with the realism of how science affects their daily life. During my student teaching placements I have made it my mission to not only teach the curriculum but to help establish study skills that will help students in all areas of their education. I also acknowledge that as a teacher my own educational journey is continuing. I thrive on researching the best strategies to present information to appeal to all learners. I bring a great deal of enthusiasm into the classroom and my passion for science is contagious. I have earned my bachelors degree in Biotechnology. I will be finishing my masters in education May 16, 2010. I am pending a teaching certification in Chemistry and Biology which s

I have always enjoyed teaching people in a one-on-one or small group environment. It allows me to tailor my teaching style to fit the individual student or group I’m working with. I enjoy using creative methods to teach a topic, including creating multiple ways to explain a term or concept and providing analogies to concepts that are familiar to the student. All people comprehend concepts in different ways and at varying speeds. Thus as I teach a concept I am constantly looking for signs of understanding, and then stop and reinforce a concept when it is apparent that the student does not understand. Teaching is a very fluid process, one that requires acute understanding of the challenges students face when learning, and an active process that requires energy and intelligence on the part of the teacher, qualities I believe I possess. I was fortunate to be able to enter college full-t

When helping others, I do it two ways. I tell them how to do it and guide them through it. Other times, I show them how to do it. However, I do not do it for them. I would love to have the chance to help children succeed in their education! It would be an honor! I graduated high school in 2000 with a local diploma and then went on to college at Utica School of Commerce. I graduated in 2002 with an Associated Degree as an Administrative Specialist. I have worked at a few different jobs and just went back to college again at Utica School of Commerce and got my certificate degree as a Medical Office Assistant.

Between the years of 1978 and 1984 I was a monitor and then a supervisor in a small Christian school using the ACE curriculum. They have various programmed learning booklets teaching all of the major subjects. You are actually more of a tutor than a teacher if you work with these booklets. I have experience in the four major areas of learning which are English, Math, Social Studies, and Science. I was with students from first through twelfth grade. While I was college I had occasion to take two years of college level English and also statistics up through 600 level. The English helped when I was writing my Master’s Thesis, it was 120 pages long. My committee found it to be well written. The statistics was the basis for the thesis. I love to help a student work their way through any difficulty they are having in any of the major subjects. It is always a challenge to direct the students

I am a recent graduate of the State University of New York School of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY-ESF). This institution offer rigorous studies in all its degree programs. Students are also expected to maintain a prismatic academic spectrum outside of their specialization. In 2005, I enrolled in SUNY-ESF's unique chemistry program. I took notable classes other colleges don't offer, such as Organic Chemistry III, and Spec ID. Classes were taught by PhD researches with years of experience in their fields of chemistry ranging from physical to polymer chemistry. I used technical scientific instruments such as GC/MS, and NMR. Experiencing SUNY-ESF left me with a specialized degree in Natural Products Chemistry, a concentration that focuses on biosynthetic pathways, advanced organic chemistry, synthesis, and technical reading and writing skills. I also studied biology, focusi
