My teaching style is very energetic and I love participation by the students. I think students can learn better through experiencing the information rather than just hearing it. I recently graduated from the University of Texas double majoring in History and Biology. I have worked as a biology teacher for a freshman year biology course. My specialty was marine biology, and I have lots of experience in field and laboratory research, which has influenced my love for science. History started as a hobby and turned into a passion of mine.

I have always loved working with children and I believe I can make a positive difference in childrens' lives. Children learn through seeing, hearing, saying, feeling and doing. I try to determine which combination of learning styles are best for each individual student and then use that method to teach them the subject. I think each child wants to learn and succeed and I believe I can help them be a success. I come from a family of readers, I love to read, and I love to teach children to become good readers. I think reading is one of the most important skills one can posess and many doors open for good readers. I have 16 years teaching elementary grades 1 through 3. During this time I taught Compensatory Education for 2 years in 1st grade, 4 years in 2nd grade and 1 year in third grade. In the Compensatory Education classes I would receive the poorest readers and worked with them through

My preferred method of teaching is hands-on, through real experiments. Unfortunately, experiments cannot always be done, so I use lots of illustrations and age-appropriate analogies that are easy to relate to. Many times students are convinced that science is a subject too difficult to conquer, that they must just survive it, but science is all around us. I strive for that "a-ha" moment when a student realizes that all biological and physiological processes are interrelated and that the trick to understanding science is to build on previously learned concepts. I believe that teaching solid fundamentals and relating more difficult topics to already learned information is key to helping students thoroughly understand the subject. Throughout my undergraduate years, I was recognized as an outstanding student and held the maximum number of teaching assistant positions every semester. I o

My teaching style is one in which I strive to engage students in the subject by both instructing and challenging them to think on their own. I also strive to accomplish this goal in such a manner that the student experiences the fun that is a part of learning, but one that also emphasizes the importance of the learning process as well. In all of my tutoring and teaching experiences, I communicate how critical good study habits are: self-discipline; finding a quiet place to study; punctuality; attention to detail; following the rules; etc. As a person who holds both a BA and MA in English, each with concentrations in writing (creative and technical, respectively), I am qualified to, and have for several years, tutored English language studies skills, including composition, grammar, punctuation, and reading comprehesion, to students from the third grade through college.

I am a Ph.D. Bioanalytical Chemist from Texas A&M University with additional post-doctoral training in a Biochemistry lab. In addition, I have two Bachelor degrees, a B.A. in Chemistry and a B.A. in Spanish. I have extensive teaching experience at the undergraduate, high school, and junior high school levels in Spanish, General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry. I enjoy teaching young adults and children, and overall, I believe in making the process fun and painless. The greatest joy in educating students is when they realize their success and start enjoying the subject matter at hand. I mentor and educate students scholastically to achieve their academic and personal goals in life. It is important for me to educate students in this manner and allow them to be creative in their learning process as well to imagine how their education may be applied to their careers in the fut

I have a B.S. in Physics with a minor in Mathematics.I am a very experienced private math tutor. During my 2nd undergraduate year at TSU, I began to teach physics labs. Initially,I taught "general" physics 1 and 2 lab sections,(those for science majors; excluduing engineering and physics majors). I was assigned multiple labs each semester thereafter, until my own graduation.Senior year, I was assigned the calculus based labs. The department also paid me to do tutoring for general physics. Every person learns a bit differently. Personally, I find that an individual’s feeling and attitude about subjects such as mathematics and physics can greatly impact a student's success than any other factor.I aspire to help students see how fun (and actually quite addictive) math and mathematical sciences really are. If it can become fun, it is no longer “work”. I use many analogies. Obtaining a str

I believe in helping the students discover their own answers. Through patient discussion and problem solving the students will better understand the subject matter. It is important to take the time and listen to their problems so as to best understand how to achieve a solution. At times learning disabilities or other problems can require creativity in reaching the student. Through my years of working with teenagers I can achieve that creativity. I am a comfortable and relaxed person. I love working with students and helping them achieve academic success. Nothing is better for me than seeing a struggling student find new and exciting success. I graduated in 2004 from the University of Oklahoma with my Bachelors in Business Administration. I regularly helped my fellow students survive the academic rigors of Business School. In 2009 I graduated from Texas Christian University with

I love children and like to do my best for them. I am so patient and love teaching, blieving that all children can get their education needs according to very simple but fine adjustment to the teaching process. I was teaching Mathematics/calculus Physics and Biology for ten years, until Immigration to the US. most of my experience was in private schools covering the official curriculum to help students overcome their difficulties in their regular schools and prepare them for their tests. Although the teaching language was Arabic, but my control of English as well as the fact that all text books are in English, I am confident that I will do a good and enjoiable job

I create lessons that benefit from a student's best learning styles. Most of today's education is taught using the auditory method of lecturing, which is sadly the least favored learning style for most people. I can combine auditory, visual, physical, individual, and expressive teaching methods to create an effective learning experience. I learn a student's favored learning styles to customize lessons and to help students work on their strengths and weaknesses. My understanding of the important connections between science and the world around us will spark a curiosity that will inspire future learning. That curiosity and excitement coupled with my high expectations will motivate students to achieve in high school, college, and beyond.

I have worked with adults. I prefer a one on one direct instruction and mentoring, keeping everything simple and fun. I am not sure how well I would be with children; I have none of my own and have not spent much time with my nephews and nieces. I have worked with a few of my friends children, helping them understand algebra, showing them how simple it really is and how it can be fun. As a engineer I have been training operators in everything form SPC to troubleshooting for 30 years. I am a volunteer tutor for Adult ESL & GED for the Literacy Council of Williamson County since June 2009.
