Marine Biology Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Eaton, CO

I hold a BS and MS in Biology. I started to tutor college student while an undergraduate at Mesa State College.I was awarded the GK-12 Fellowship for two years while at the University of Northern Colorado. This fellowship placed me in k-12 classrooms to aid in teaching sciene. During that time I taught kindergarten, second grade, 8th grade, and 9th - 12th grades.Later I was awarded the GAANN Fellowship and continued to teach colleged level Biology. I have experience in classroom setting, lab setting, and biology trips outside. My style of teaching includes visual explanation (white board or chalk board), oral discussion, and hands-on manipulation when ever possible. I try to use as many teaching styles as possible as not all students learn via the same means. My style is also fexible based on the student I am instructing (age or handicaps). I believe the best way to teach science is to m

I love helping others learn and get through tough subjects. I loved homework all throughout school and would love a chance to be able to help others with theirs. I am very patient and want them to figure things out for themselves with my help. I will not simply tell them the answers. I graduated high school in the International Baccalaureate program with a 4.5 gpa and 30 college credits. I then went on to the University of Colorado starting out as a sophomore. I graduated 3 years later with a degree in Integrative Physiology. I have an extensive background in science and math. While at CU I was able to tutor children through a program called Reading Buddies where I would meet every week with them every week and read to them in English. Most of the children were mostly Spanish speaking and I would teach them English. Also throughout college I would meet and help others through various sci

Having had experience in several dynamic fields, I find myself to be a diverse individual with various talents. With a degree in Anthropology from the University of Colorado (having completed courses in Chemistry, Biology, and Statistics), I find myself capable to deliver success to others looking for solutions in many different fields, especially mathematics. I spent 300 hours serving and educating inner-city youth in Pennsylvania, assisting with homework as well as educating them on appropriate conduct to excel in life. Given my bachelor’s degree in the study of man, I find myself constantly driven to better myself and the lives of others. Education does not occur just in the classroom or through study halls; education is not limited by any means or measure. My aim is to give children the tools they need to achieve any and every goal they have, especially those in their success wit

As a teacher of multiple grades, I prefer a unit study approach, allowing each child to learn according to his own learning style. Prescribing to a system entitled the 4Mat SystemTM, I have embraced the outcomes of such a system which include improved retention, higher achievement, increased motivation, improved thinking skills, and lower remediation. The 4Mat SystemTM consists of four steps: the first step creates a reason; it motivates the student by making the lesson meaningful to his life. Concept Development gives the facts and is accomplished through research. Next you expand the lesson by letting the student try it out; they should do something with what they have learned. Finally, allow the student to excel by letting them teach it to themselves and others. While this system works well for multiple grade teaching, I am not entirely opposed to a more classical approach. P

As the graduate of a difficult field of science, I spent a great deal of time studying and developing better methods for studying. I have become very knowledgeable in science and applied science through my degree field. I have also spent much time reading and writing scientific articles, which has made me proficient in English, general literacy, and writing. Throughout my college career, I have been tutoring and leading study sessions in science. I think that learning is subjective. Every person will have the opportunity to learn if they have an instructor that can meet their needs. I work well with children, young adults, and adults. I am patient and attentive. I believe that asking questions is the best way to find and address gaps in understanding and facilitate teaching the appropriate material.

I am a Colorado State University graduate with my major in Natural Sciences as well as a completed Initial Teacher License. I have not only an extensive understanding of science but I also know how to specifically teach science. I greatly enjoy helping others learn and I had a tutoring position last spring at a local high school (Fossil Ridge). I love to work with children and adults. I feel that the best way for my students learn is for them to get hands on experience whether that be guided problem solving or actual lab work. I think that through this way my students reach their greatest potential.

One of my greatest strengths as a teacher is my ability to discern whether or not a student has understood a concept. I recognize that students learn through different methods and I know how to present complex information in a variety of ways so that a student grasps the topic. I believe in having students demonstrate learning by performing activities and exercises that reinforce presented material. I have a good rapport with students of all ages and they find me accessible which enhances the teacher-student relationship. My ultimate goal is for students to become self directed learners who can eventually take control of their own educational experience. Once they have confidence in their skills and abilities they will then be able to be successful both in school and beyond. I possess both a B.S. degree in zoology/ biology and a M.S. degree in environmental health. I have a second

My teaching style is a mixture of many elements. The first thing I do is to make students enthusiastic about their studies. To give subtle motivation and build interest, I make the topic applicable to a person’s life. The next step is to work on confidence. You have to help students see that it is possible to overcome personal difficulties with specific subjects. To do this, I focus on each learner’s strengths and break topics down into manageable parts. I ask the questions that will direct each student to make connections on their own. As frustration is an inevitable part of learning for struggling students, I always remain flexible and ready to try a new tactic when necessary. As a teacher’s assistant for photography in high school, I realized that I had a natural aptitude for teaching and breaking subjects down into manageable parts. In college, I was the person that other stud

Two years as Instructor in General Chemistry (i.e. freshman course) which included one Section in each course for chemistry majors and non-chemistry majors. Two years as Instructor in Organic Chemistry including one Section in each course for organic and biochemistry. Two years as a tutor in chemistry and US and world history for CSU football team. I have earned a BS degree in chemistry and completed two years of postgraduate study in chemistry. I have been in industrial research for over twenty years, have several patents and several publications. Tutoring is fundamentally different than lecturing because one interacts with one students. Therefore a tutor must adopt a style that most effectively communicates with the student. It is important to understand why the student is having difficulty mastering the subject.

Four years tutoring at the undergraduate college level when I was an undergraduate student myself. This includes calculus 1&2&3 and college algebra. Also physics, chemistry and biology. I perused a double major of pre medicine and electrical engineering at the undergraduate level. I needed some extra money and found a lot of satisfaction in helping others and I found myself to be good at it and still tutor co-workers today. In addition I have done tutoring as a working professional for new college hires and junior staff for about 30 years. In my opinion every student learns in a different way giving his or her own approach to developing an understanding of new unfamiliar knowledge. Also these same students shift their methods depending upon the material being introduced and discussed. It is for this reason that I seek to first try to carefully understand the students learning style an

Having earned a master's in psychology, I have extensive knowledge in this area. I have worked on many papers and reports throughout my college years, so I have strong proofreading and grammar skills. I tutored in my high school in many different subject areas and currently help some of my clients with their schoolwork. I enjoy working with youth to help them achieve success in many aspects of their lives. The one-on-one attention may be all a child needs to move forward when he/she is struggling in the classroom. I am a patient, detailed, and organized person. I have a great work ethic and strive to show youth that success can be achieved in many different forms. Finding the right motivator and "language" can make all of the difference in a confusing subject.

It is my job as a tutor to approach each child as an individual. I use my own creativity and experiences to find different ways of teaching the same material in order to find the way that works best for that particular child. It is a very rewarding experience and one that the child should find positive also. I've had very good results from my methods and am very pleased with my students' progress. My objective, as a graduate of Pacific Lutheran University (May, 2007) with a B.S. degree in Biology and Chemistry, is to pursue a life of action in social justice and environmental protection. I want to use my life for something tangible and productive. I am articulate, responsible, dependable, reliable and well-educated.

It has been written about for centuries where one teacher made all the difference in the decisions that a student made for the rest of his or her life. I understand the great responsibility in being a teacher, especially with young, impressionable minds. I believe in presenting clear, up-to-date and as scientifically factual as possible information. A sentence I remember reading in a book by Marty Roberts explains a large portion of my teaching style: Knowledge should be pooled into the brain by the student, not pushed into the brain by the teacher. I strive to create a learning environment where the student finds joy and excitement in learning the subject material, even if they did not think it so in the beginning. I believe in upholding the student to their personal best, whatever level that may be, in order to perpetuate self-respect and pride in their work. After graduating fro

My educational philosophy is strongly influenced by Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences. I approach teaching from that perspective, incorporating a variety of disciplines and media to build on a student's strengths, to have fun while learning, and to challenge areas (building new skills) where a student can benefit. I volunteered at Howard Gardner's Project Zero at Harvard to understand how to evaluate learning through qualitative and quantitative measurements. Each student brings "genius" to learning, and our collaboration together would be to creatively build and strengthen from that place of genius. My teaching experience includes traditional classroom single-discipline settings, as well as non-traditional field work, with students Pre-K to Secondary. I have lead (wildlife and water) research projects with students and teachers, and have participated on research proje

I have been a substitute teacher in all academic subjects. I have managed a classroom of 5-12th graders as well as presented the lesson prepared by the teacher for that day. This experience has increased my knowledge of the behavior of middle and high school students. In addition to my substitute teaching duties, I have accumulated over 600 hours in the classroom through internships and student teaching. I participated in the “Summer in the City” internship given by the New York City Board of Education in the summer of 2003. This gave me invaluable experience with a diverse learning population in an urban learning environment. Furthermore, I have performed over sixty hours of one-on-one tutoring in all subjects. I graduated from the State University of New York College at Geneseo in December, 2003 with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a provisional teaching certificate in B
