Biology Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Fluker, LA

I am a retired teacher who taught various science courses for 25 years in the Jefferson Parish Public School System. Over the years I have taught biology, chemistry, earth science, physical science, and even pre-algebra. I have a proven track record of results in science education. Many of my students have gone on to have excellent careers as doctors, nurses, dentists, and other science-related disciplines. Also, I can speak a little Spanish although I do not consider myself bilingual. I feel the best way to teach is to put yourself in the student's place. I realize that most science material is totally new to the student so the teacher must not assume that the student just "knows these things." You have to start from square one and explain the concepts thoroughly. The teacher should never move on to a new concept until the student has mastered the previous concept.

Science is more of a Passion for me. I enjoy learning about how the human body works. Now that I am in paramedic training I find myself helping my fellow students with anatomy,physiology,and pathophysiology courses that we are required to take. I am willing to put in as much work to get to our optimal goal which is passing!!! (And understanding the information, which is very important. I am a graduate from Southern University with a bachelors in General Biology. And my ultimate plan is to become a Physician's Assistant.

A hands-on approach, with a focus on making learning fun. I find that when a student is engaged and taking joy in his or her studies, it becomes less like work and more like an enjoyable hobby. I have recently completed my course of studies in Medical and Biological Sciences and was awarded my Master's Degree from Mississippi College in Clinton, Mississippi on December 19, 2014. I hope to begin Medical School in the fall and am currently awaiting word of my application status at LSU Health Sciences Center in New Orleans and in Shreveport. I finished graduate school with a 3.9 GPA, was salutatorian of my high school class, and have an extensive history of academic accomplishment in both the classroom and in academic competition. I possess a wide array of knowledge and achievements that encompass scientific, social, and interdisciplinary subject matter. It is my great desire to assist in t

We will begin by determining where your strengths and weaknesses within a particular are. This will be accomplished through the use of a standardized practice test that I will provide. After determining what is necessary, I will work with you on all aspects of the subject. We will spend the majority of the time on those areas that are not as strong as the others; however, we will still spend a significant amount of time on those things which you have already reached proficiency. PERFECT PRACTICE makes PERFECT. I believe that strong areas should not be ignored, but instead should be periodically reinforced. Most subjects build upon themselves! I have been a tutor for several years. While in college, I have tutored several subjects. Here are my testing scores: ACT 32 (English 35, Science 31, Math 33, Reading Comprehension 29) SAT 2100 (Verbal 670, Math 700, Writing 730) Base

My name is Leslie W. and I am a junior at Louisiana State University. I am currently majoring in History and Spanish. I am very interested in pursuing a career in Civil Rights, Immigration, or Business Law. I am originally from the Washington, DC area. I graduated from Robert E Lee High School as an IB Diploma Candidate. I have been speaking Spanish for 12 years now. I am particular strong in written communication and oral communication in Spanish. History is my passion, and I am to make it fun for those who I am tutoring. I like to put it into terms that are easy to understand and follow. I have worked a tutoring baby sitter in high school and I also have been a volunteer Pre-K Sunday School teacher. My approach is to cater to my students. For example, if a student is very interested in comic books and I am tutoring them in Spanish, I would find Spanish comic books appropriate for t

I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am very familiar with the different types of learning styles of students and have utilized this in my own classroom. I am a patient and easy going and caring teacher so that I may best help the students learn. I am a great believer in using technology and constructivist appBroa ch. Good educators who really care about their. Being currently enrolled in a secondary chemistry certification program, I feel that I will have outstanding capabilities for helping students.

My teaching style is best described as a balance between a healthy relational presence and an interesting conveyor of teaching and information. In other words, I combine "popular, upbeat, and friendly" with "engrossing, unique and interesting." Sensitivity's employed in that I notice the demeanor and countenance of the learner to help the student remain hopeful, optimistic and goal-setting, or at least goal-friendly. I have a liberality in terms of classifying students: some are on the "linear, forward moving, measurable" end of the spectrum, and some are on the "organic, unique, quiet and absorbing" end. I am confident that the world can't have one without the other, nor should! My offerings are in writing and Speech Communication. After graduating from the University of Georgia, I attended a state accredited graduate school in Florida and Mississippi: Reformed Theological Seminary

With 2 BS degrees, Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, I have been exposed to all of the most important fundamental disciplines that children need to be successful today. Math and science are my strong points, and I have much experience as a peer tutor throughout my collegiate and high school studies. I feel very comfortable teaching physics, chemistry, calculus and math in general. I have also volunteered my time to assist elementary school students with the language arts: i.e. sentence structure, spelling, grammar, etc. In general, I like to assist the student visually and with real-life examples of how subjects such as chemistry, physics, and math can be applied to everyday life. My goal is to make learning fun not by lecturing, but encouraging the student to get involved and ask questions. Situations do arise when it is beneficial to lecture and let the student "soak up" knowled
