I am a strategic based teacher that enhances my students learning through finding their own particular learning style. Each student has and individualized learning approach to their studies. Once they find what works for them, they will succeed. It is my job as an educator to help them find that out. I like to use a multi modality approach so that students learn all different types of learning styles, this way they may pick and choose certain styles that work for them. For example, If the students are writing about a short story they have read, to help them get their thoughts on to paper, I would assist them with graphic organizers to prompt them to list of jot down vocabulary words or important people places or things in the story however, in a manner that helps them to do this with a proper beginning, middle and end. All of this is visually designed on the graphic organizer to help the

I believe the best way for someone to learn something is through application and repetition. As both a tutor and youth lacrosse coach I have had success by teaching my students how to approach problems rather than simply giving them answers. I am extremely patient and am very willing to take alternative approaches in helping a student learn. During my undergraduate career at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, I obtained a wealth of knowledge in the fields of math and science. I did this by striving for excellence in the classroom and participating in cutting edge research with professors in the Entomology and Organic Chemistry departments. My extensive knowledge of the subjects I’ve studied has allowed me to assist my friends in understanding complex and difficult problems. This past year I privately tutored classmates in both Statistics and Organic Chemistry.

In May 2009, I graduated from Mount Holyoke College as a biochemistry major with Magna cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa distinction. At Mount Holyoke, I was a General Chemistry laboratory teacher's assistant. Also, I was an Organic Chemistry I and Organic Chemistry II tutor to sophomore and juniors enrolled in the course. After graduating, I provided SAT tutoring for a student. I also gained experience teaching as a long-term chemistry substitute at Agawam High School. These tutoring and teaching experiences have inspired me to pursue chemistry teaching as a career. I am enthusiastic about helping students feel confident in their science abilities, cultivating an interest in science, and encouraging students to pursue science academically. My teaching methods are flexible, as different students require different strategies to be successful. While tutoring, I prefer working through example pr

Tutoring is available to students who need extra help in course work specific to Biological Sciences (biology, developmental biology, anatomy, physiology, genetics, general chemistry). Educational background includes Bachelor of Arts, majoring in Biology and minoring in Chemistry, followed by Ph.D. thesis research focused on developmental biology, genetics, molecular biology, and biochemistry. If chosen, my tutoring goals are to help the student gain a better understanding of the subject at hand and need less help over time. If chosen, my tutoring goals are to help the student gain a better understanding of the subject at hand and need less help over time. Not all students learn the same way, which is why it is important to approach the subject matter from different angles.

Regardless of the demographics of the student population in the classroom, I have learned that it is as important to listen as it is to present information. I encourage participation in classromm subjects yet maintain control and functionality of the class so that the lesson is not lost in the discussion. It is rewarding to see the improvment of self esteem and knowledge when people become heard and are understood in a positive environment. The miracle of comprehension is akin to nurturing, encouraging and challenging an individual to blossom and bear fruit that can be enjoyed and savored by many. I have spent a lifetime educating myself and participating in professional development and then giving back my knowledge and skills to those that may benefit. I have found that I frequently learn as much from those that I teach as they learn from me. My History degree is not only a passion but

I have taught a wide variety of subjects as a Special Education teacher. I have BS in natural science with a minor in Geology & geography and Secondary Education. I held certification to teach general science and currently certified to teach Biology in California. I have masters in Special Education and certified in Arizona as cross categorical in this area. I have taught and tutored Science (General, Physical and Biology), Ancient History, World history, Mathematics and GEDs. I have also done classes on a variety of job training and test taking skills. My 6 years in biotech field has allowed me a greater understanding of Biology and Chemistry. My time as the Education Department at the local detention center has allowed me to understand all the state and federal regulations to a much greater degree than when I was only teaching. I believe all children can learn, but each in their

I subscribe to the principle: tell them what you are going to tell them, tell them, tell them what you have told them. To avoid mind-numbing repetition, I present the material with a combination of text and pictures, then review the material with ungraded short answer exercises ("active learning – I do and I understand"). Then we summarize. I also connect what the student is learning with previous course content to promote learning by association. I use a variety of exercises to reinforce content, including case studies, diagram creation and annotation, group discussion (where a group is available). I have taught Anatomy and Physiology, Medical Terminology, Pharmacology, and MS Office applications; also, Microbiology and Immunology, along with General Biology and the Study of Disease. As part of a job training program, I have been an instructor in Biotechnology Skills, and a

While pursuing an undergraduate program in Biology, I was fortunate to join the peer mentoring program at my school. As a peer mentor, I tutored in General Chemistry 1 and 2 for two years. I made counseled and guarded my peers in my area of study I also tutored in calculus 1 for a program by the division of science called City College Academic for Professional Preparation (CCAPP). I later tutored in statistics for the premedical office at my school. I love teaching because it provides an opportunity for both teacher and student to learn new things. I also believe that by applying appropriate teaching styles, the most difficult subject can be very easy to the students. I believe in getting students involved in their studies by making it fun. A child needs to study but must have fun whilst studying. My objective is to provide good educational approach to ensure that my students are the bes

I have experience tutoring high school level students in geometry and college students in genetics, chemistry, and other subjects. I’ve always worked well with kids, possibly because I understand some of the difficult times they may be going through. I have run review sessions that involved tutoring many students at a time as well as one-on-one sessions, and my tutees have found my teaching methods very helpful. I also have experience volunteering in youth programs in Costa Rica and in the U.S. where I facilitated group after-school activities. My method is to help the student become an active learner will eventually be able to learn independently. Although I am capable of giving a lecture about a subject, I tend not to lecture students because they often become bored and uninvolved. Instead, I ask questions and involve the student in any way possible. I also like to praise students for

I base my teaching on the pholosophy of Eli Siegal: "Aesthetic Realism". It states that "All beauty is a making one of opposites, and a making one of opposites is what we are going after in ourselves" Thus, I relate the subject matter in hand to students' personal lives. For example, if we are learning Le Chartelier's Princlple, which concerns the response of a chemical reaction to stress, I have my students discuss the types of stress they experience, and their responses. We compare this to the beautifully precise and appropriate reaction in Chemistry, where the response is never inapproriate, insufficent or in excess. This method has also taught me that I have much to learn from my students and their life experiences. . I have taught for over 25 years in settings as varied as inner city schools in NYC to a small public school in Arlington Vermont, and an elite private school at Str

I earned a BS degree in biochemistry and did a senior thesis in organic chemistry. This inspired me to earn a PhD in biochemistry in Boston College's chemistry department. During those extensive years of education I studied many areas of chemistry and biology in depth. In addition, I excel at problem solving and research. My writing skills have been honed after years of writing research papers and theses. During the past 12 years I have taught many areas of chemistry and biochemistry at the collegiate level as well as tutored high school and college students in chemistry, organic chemistry, and biochemistry. I am an enthusiastic teacher who loves to share my passion for chemistry. My greatest achievement as a professor has been bringing awe and excitement to the mundane: I will never forget the student who told me that she will never look at a boiling pot of the water the same way.
