Earth Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Daufuskie Island, SC

I taught university chemistry for many years, especially the math-heavy courses. After retirement, a friend asked if I would assist a home-schooling family in the sciences. I embraced the occasion, and increased my clientele substantially by word of mouth. Since then people have been seeking me out. Now I am ready to make a second career at something that I love - watching and helping young minds develop. I use the heuristic style - teach a little; now you try it! The student learns best what they learn from within. At my English boarding school, that is the way we were taught, and it worked. Also, I show them different study methods to see what works for them. I have read widely on psychology. Early on, I assess a student's best learning mode - visual, aural, spatial, numerical, verbal, etc., and play to it. While being active in drama I learned how to 'read' the hear

I am a teen girl that makes straight A's in school. I started tutoring in 3rd grade by tutoring my niece that was currently in 2nd grade. I have been tutoring many people since then and have helped them succeed many things. Hopefully I can do the same with your child. If any other help is needed, I would be happy to do so too.

I can teach all HS level sciences, and under. Obtuse; willing to think outside of the box to get the student interested, even, excited to learn. I have tutored fellow classmates in HS. I've taught my nieces and nephew to understand and love mathematics, as well as respect science, which is really just the real-world application of mathematics. I can explain many abstract topics in tangible ways. I love when I see that twinkle in someone's eye when something clicks and they grab onto the topic they once didn't comprehend.

My teaching experience includes almost all of the science disciplines. I have taught classes in Anatomy and Physiology, Physical Science, Physics, Biology, chemistry, Earth Science and Forensic Science. Included in my job experience is almost ten years of experience in the field. I know that the techniques that I teach in the classroom are authentic. Along with teaching some of the highest level science classes, I have also taught science repeater classes, credit recovery classes, “at risk” students, and applied level science courses. I pride myself in having the ability to reach all students and have never given up on a student. I constantly work to improve my knowledge base and to increase my learning tools. I truly enjoy my teaching profession. The moment when a student who has been struggling for understanding starts to put all the information together and applies it is "pri

I have a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry with a concentration in Biochemistry and minor in Biology. During my years in college I helped out my my classmates in understanding certain subject areas. I have also tutored younger age. I tutored students in many subjects such as English, Math, Science, Chemistry, Biology, and Physics. I love to work with students and see their accomplishment. I do speak Arabic, so i can work with and understand Bilingual students very well. I like to get to know the weaknesses of each of my students to get a common ground with them first. Then i try to break down the subject as simple as i can. I like to work with all ages. I know that all students are bright and different in some kind of way; therefore, to me I think all students can learn. I really care about each of my students. I make sure that each of my student have a great experience with me and have g

I enjoy teaching and workind with children of all ages. I believe that students learn better working in small groups or one on one. I also believe that students will learn better with a more hands on approach to the material. Students also learn better if they are able to relate the material to their insterest. I am patient, hard working and enjoy working with children. I have several years of tutoring youth at my church. Students range in ages between 4 to 21 years of age. I have tutor students in elementary and middle school math, english, languaage arts and history.

I was Lead Tutor at Armstrong Atlantic State University (2001-2003) in the Writing Center. I had previously tutored at Greenfield Community College in the Learning Center (1996-1998). My passion is to teach children with special needs (Autism). My BA degree was in Psychology (2008). I have tutored in in English, Psychology, and Biology. I am currently working on my Master's degree in Special Education. I have tutored with private facilities as well, such as Royce Learning Center and Legends Learning Center in Savannah, Ga. I enjoy both public and private facilities. I have patience, knowledge, and empathy for children with many different learning levels. I enjoy working with children with Autism, behavior disorders, and learning disabilities. I use applied behavior analysis and create goals for each child. I am flexible, willing to modify my approach. I want children to feel comfortable

I do enjoy helping students with their problems. I have a technique of visualization. for example, which is the first example I use. I tell the student to think of a tree. in the seconds you think of a tree, you don't think of just the tree. you think of the roots, the trunk, the limbs, the branches, the leaves. then you think of whats going on in the tree, right down to the point of the tree taking in carbon dioxide and giving off oxygen and water. Why is the tree giving off water. most people do not know that the tree is making water because it is attaching hydrogen to the oxygen to get rid of the hydrogen, acid. I can apply this same visualization to almost anything. Hey there. I am a medical school drop out. I have my bachelors in biology, with minors in botany, chemistry and economics.

While planning for a career in medicine, I obtained a BS in biology with a minor in Chemistry. During the application and acceptance process I was an adjunct faculty member at a local technical college. My courses taught were remedial Algebra, biology, and anatomy and physiology. During the hours between classes I was a paid Tutor in the college's learning assistance center. I wouldn't have a "professional" description for teaching style as my education was solidly based in the sciences. However, I believe that by teaching intuitive thought processes and critical thinking skills, students can easily adapt to the tasks given be they in science or liberal arts.

I truly enjoy working with children and would love to go back to school and obtain my Masters in education. I feel that each child has their own way of connecting to education and it's a magic moment when you, the teacher, find and help them utilize that connection. I am calm and patient, bubbly and outgoing, creative and responsible. Most importantly, I love helping people and being an individual that can make a difference. I graduated with a double major from Fairfield University where I was involved with volunteer groups that tutored middle school aged children from surrounding areas. Over the years I have also spent time as a nanny and have been in charge of homework and school projects. I am confident that my nurturing and energetic personality is the perfect combination to engage children to want to excel.

I believe all children can learn, but that all children learn differently. Having taught special education, I had a range of grade levels in my class. Very often the students would be spread out over three grade levels. Because of this, I am extremely good at tailoring my instruction to different levels and learning types. I try many different approaches to cater to different learning styles. Ultimately, I choose the method based on it's success and also how much the student enjoys it. Ultimately, the student needs to enjoy learning. I have been a camp counselor, tutor, coach and teacher. I have taught English in Ghana, preschool in Argentina and special education in the Bronx. I have taught and worked with children of all levels, ages and backgrounds. I am very strong in writing and communication, but have also taught math up to fifth grade. I have taught science and social studies up t

I first started to study music when I was 11 years old. I grew a love for the clarinet and played for many years in middle school and high school. In college, I majored in clarinet and also studied all wind/percussion instruments as well as piano. I obtained my BA instrumental teaching degree (K-12) through Western Carolina University in June of 2003. Through the years, I have had the privilage and pleasure of teaching band in a classroom setting, marching band, and private lessons. The reason I became a teacher was to transfer my love of music to my students and also to see the joy of their successes. There is nothing like seeing the smile of success on a students face. I care greatly for all students that I have taught and will teach.

Upon receiving my BA, I began a 26-year journey in high school and college education. My primary teaching duties were in biology, chemistry, and earth sciences. I was appointed department chair for three schools and served as district coordinator for sciences at one of those schools. I have worked to develop science curriculum programs for Chemistry, Environmental Studies, and Marine Sciences in South Carolina. I have instructed Human Anatomy and Physiology for two community colleges in South Carolina and for four regional colleges in Savannah and Brunswick, Georgia. My degree of success is the accomplishments of my students at all levels. I use a combined demonstration and discussion style for lecture and introduction of topics to be studied. Labs are a demonstration followed by a monitored hands-on work experience. I integrate reading and computational skills into my subject m

During college I noticed that every student absorbs information differently. I believe that in order to teach effectively, a tutor must not only understand which way a student learns best, but also provide an appropriate environment in which the student feels comfortable. I enjoy working with children of all ages and it is my goal to ensure that each child receives the best education possible. I believe a child's education is the most important factor in determining their success in life. As a Mathematical Sciences major, I was encouraged to development a strong foundation in applied mathematics. In addition, I also minored in Biology, as a science related minor was required for my program. I have learned many writing skills due to many research papers, lab projects, and mathematical proofs. My experience at Armstrong Atlantic State University certainly has prepared me to help students i
