Life Science is one of my top subjects! Please see my Subject comments under the subject of Biology.

The defining characteristic of my teaching method, whether in a classroom or tutoring individual students, is fostering a respectful and comfortable learning environment. I believe that the foundation for this environment is created by establishing small, personal connections with the student. I try to take every opportunity to get to know a student’s’ personal interests. This allows me to choose meaningful examples and metaphors that students will be more likely to understand and remember. It also makes study sessions engaging and conversational which always benefits learning, in my experience. Organizational skills are essential to learning and I always address this component at the start of working with a student. Seeing how a student organizes his or her class materials, such as notes, handouts, and graded assignments, helps me identify problems that can be resolved with ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have a passion for teaching students of all ages, especially 4th grade and up. My teaching style consists of involving the students as much as possible in the learning process because I am a firm believer that students do learn from one another - especially when one student becomes a mentor or reciprocal teacher for another. Discussions are very important because they allow for free expression of opinions and learning opportunities from one another.
When I had the opportunity to design and teach a Vo-Tech. School program from the ground up, I realized my love and passion for teaching and making a difference in the lives of my students. Being semi-retired with lots of time available, I am living out my passion by substitute teaching middle and high school students in my local school district. With a rich science and english background, I feel I can make a difference by helping tho ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I can usually find a way to relate the material that the student is struggling with to something else that they understand. When they can make connections to more familiar things, then they can think themselves through problems more effectively. I usually achieve this by showing them how to do a problem, doing a problem or two with them, and then having them do problems on their own, only assisting when they need it.
I have always picked things up quickly, more quickly than my peers. My peers have often come to me to ask for my help in those areas. I also see how to apply what I have learned to original problems because I see connections and hold a deeper understanding of the material. My double major in Chemistry and Biochemistry with a mino in Mathematics was full of its fair share of difficult material, and I was almost always able to help my peers, as well as younger students, ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a youth mentor with YouthFriends, I have worked one-on-one with students in reading and general life skills. I am current enrolled in Rockhurst University's Master in Education program to obtain a degree and elementary teaching certificate. I have completed over 25 graduate course hours that include methods in teaching math and science. I am looking for opportunities to extend what I have learned in the classroom myself to help students.
I am open minded and encouraging. I believe that children each have their own schema and learn in a variety of ways. It is my responsbility as a teacher to get to know my students and find the most effective ways to adapt in order for them to learn. I am patient and professional. I believe children can achieve success through hard work and hands on learning.

I think the teacher can determine the student's ability to learn. I believe I could provide a fun and friendly environment where the student would feel comfortable asking questions. I also think that homework or problems are useful.
I recently graduated from Park University with a Bachelors Degree in both Chemistry and Biology. I was the Vice President of the Chemistry Club where I helped students better understand chemistry as well as many other activities. Originally I wanted to go to medical school or pharmacy school, but have since changed my mind. I find myself to be a very driven individual and love to learn.

I enjoy presenting different viewpoints to my students in an attempt to help them develop a deeper understanding of the What, How, and Why of their studies. I am very patient and will work closely with your student to develop a learning plan that best fits their needs. Given appropriate 1-on-1 attention and direction beyond what is generally taught in the classroom, any child can meet their learning goals.
I have earned a BS in chemistry and an MBA, giving me extensive knowledge in Mathematics, Chemistry, and Business. While still in college for my BS, I offered tutoring services for Chemistry and Mathematics. Over the last 7 years working in the chemical manufacturing industry, I have served as a mentor to entry-level chemists and quality technicians.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that all teachers should be life-long learners. All teachers should be informed on new best practices and be knowledgeable of current educational policies. These are the reasons that I belong to TESOL and the International Reading Association. In addition to belonging to these organizations, I have continued to pursue new knowledge by attending graduate classes at the University of Kansas. After I received my Master’s Degree in Curriculum and Instruction in 1994, I continued my studies and received both my reading specialist and ESL endorsements. Currently, I teach reading to struggling readers as well as to students who are learning English as a second language. In addition, I tutor Native American students through the NASS program. I find these experiences very rewarding.
I enjoy working with all children. During the past twenty years, I had the opportunity to w ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have always enjoyed working with children, especially in a school setting. I am very good at working one-on-one with people and tailoring my communication and teaching style to best fit the student or listener. I am very keen at ascertaining the needs and personalities of many different people and I am very patient and adept at listening. I enjoy seeing a child's eyes light up once he or she has grasped a difficult concept or conquered a tough subject. I believe that education is one of the most influential forces in shaping a child's development and I love to get the opportunity to be a part of that.
I have been tutoring for many years with different kinds of children. To begin with, I tutored my younger sister starting when she was about seven years old to age twelve or thirteen. In high school, I also volunteered for an after-school program for Hispanic children ages sev ... read more

My previous tutoring experiences have allowed me to gain valuable insight into the academic tutoring process. My tutoring style includes taking a proactive approach towards assessing the student using a learning style inventory, a study skills inventory, as well as determining their current knowledge base of the particular subject. I will model appropriate learning behavior, addressing the subject matter in a format that is most conducive to the students' learning style, in hopes of effectively reducing the level of their anxiety. By addressing whether the student is a visual or an auditory learner and then building upon that style, learning the material can be quick, easy and effective.

I absolutely love working with children and will be sensitive to your child's needs and wants, and demonstrate a great deal of patience. I believe that learning should be interesting and as a very creative individual, I am well suited to finding a way to help your child learn in a way that is interesting to them and that they can relate to well. In the past, I've found that in subjects I find difficult, the teacher really does make all the difference, so I strive to make that difference and truly care about the child's success.
My degree in English at Rhodes meant that I studied a wide variety of literature, taking both analytical courses and courses that encouraged me to take what I learned from these writers and apply it to my own writing, further developing my skills as a writer, both creatively and as an analytical thinker.

A Little Bit About Me...

When I teach, I am very nurturing and I want to make sure that my students are fond of the learning process. I like to bring a sense of humor to my classroom and not only provide the best education possible, but also provide an enjoyable learning atmosphere. I like when students are provided hands-on learning experiences and I plan to use them frequently when teaching. I prefer to be a guide and a facilitator instead of ruler when I teach, ensuring that the student and I hold a mutual respect and trust. I am quick to build a good rapport with students and believe that this helps me be an educator who they will remember and will make a difference in their lives.
