Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Galvin, WA

I am a teacher who believes in student's leading their own learning. In the world of tutoring, that corresponds to guiding students toward their own self-discovery. My goal is to give students the skills and tools which will allow them to become self-sufficient and self-reliant students of the world no matter where they go. Specifically, I will teach them how to ask themselves and others the questions that will lead to the most satisfactory solution. My style is flexible and will match the attitude and expression of the individual and/or particular goals of students and their caregivers. I believe in meeting a student where they are at and respecting their individual values while at the same time improving academic achievement. I am a recent graduate of the Master in Teaching program at The Evergreen State College. I am a certified teacher in Washington state, endorsed to teach reading,

As a high school teacher, I facilitated the instruction of approximately 100 students in Chemistry in accordance with Massachusetts Learning Standards. Developed and implemented course curriculum for the Forensic Science course, including labs featuring gun shot residue testing, urinalysis, and DNA electrophoresis . Supervised the after-school chemistry tutoring program for all high school students. Additionally, I served as a volunteer ESL tutor for one year. I will be upfront, I was known as a firm, but fair, teacher. I see science as a field primarily learned through doing, and I enjoy performing science demonstrations with my students to help illustrate new concepts. At the same time, I expect students to attempt to solve problems on their own, as opposed to simply memorizing how I solve problems. While it is sometimes difficult at first, I find it gives them confidence to approach f

I alter my teaching curriculum and style to fit the student’s individual needs and learning requirements. I believe in making the subject fun and exciting! Teaching should be a partnership that involves lots of interaction. I have a passion for chemistry, and I have used that passion to inspire and motivate youth to pursue and enjoy chemistry. I have earned a degree in chemistry, but I have extensive knowledge in Biology, Calculus, Algebra and Physics.

Interactive--listening to and learning from student to determine "where they're at". Then, posing questions to enable them to find their own beginning/solution/answers. If session doesn't find a promising beginning, start from a base and progress with them. Interaction prevents or indicates "going too fast" or overwhelming them--"the eyes" are engaged or indicate "shut-down". Making the math or education "mean something" provides a reason for learning or further developing the concepts. Encouragement and sincere compliments are very important. Sharing your own struggles or an "ah-huh" moment helps ease the role differences toward a comfortable, encouraging, learning relationship. I have tutored and educated staff to raise their knowledge and understanding in an effort to help them appreciate their role and the benefit of their effort toward the goals of the overall department an

I teach so I can empower the individule to create a goal that can be attained. I have a stregth based approach, which gives the one I am teaching a positive outlook at what they can achieve. My focus is to empower the student to achieve their goals and to make the choice to further their education with enformed guidelines. As a Social Worker I came in contact with young adults who have dropped out of school because of becoming young parents, drug use, and or a lack of support from parents. My initial contact was to address child abuse and or neglect but I quickly recognized the bigger picture included their inability to process information because of a lack of education. I started a parenting class to give them a safe place to start looking at these issues.

I enjoy working with students who need to improve their reading and writing skills and basic mathematics skill, and need help building their skills. I believe anyone can learn anything they want, and that with the right help, motivation and encouragement, can achieve their education goals. I adapt my teaching approach to the learning style of the student I am working with. I work especially well with students who need calm, patient and encouraging assistance. As a college student, I held a tutoring position on campus in the remedial learning lab, assisting college students with basic math,reading and language skills. I worked a halftime schedule there for 5 years and by my 4th and 5th years, I was teaching classes, in addition to tutoring privately and in small groups in the lab. This is work I thoroughly enjoyed. In my working career in healthcare, I again found myself in a teaching, tu

I attended Foss H.S. in Tacoma and was awarded the International Baccalaureate diploma with the highest cumulative score in my class. I then attended the University of Chicago, where I earned a B.S. degree in Geology in 2006. I have a solid background in math, chemistry and physics as well as the liberal arts, and I have experience writing both for the sciences and the humanities. In high school I tutored ESL middle and elementary school students in reading, writing and math. In college I tutored underprivileged students in math and reading at a South Side grade school and spent several months as a teacher’s assistant in a Kindergarten class. Most recently, I tutored ESL students in algebra, geometry, general science and English.

Though my primary study has been of a religious nature, I am very skilled in the other subjects of a quality educational foundation, as well. I am especially gifted at math as I scored a 730 in math on my SAT's. In 2003 I worked at Cedarcrest High School in Duvall as Special Education Assistant tutoring students with ADD and ADHD. I have also taught in a private kindergarten in Taiwan. I have had many positive experiences mentoring high school and middle school students in faith based organizations. In recent years I have served as a mentor, guide, and teacher in non-profit settings primarily investing in young adults between 18 and 30. During this time I have also mentored high school interns in my non-profit leadership roles. I love the learning process. My goal is to provide an environment for the student to grow to love the process of learning. I see myself as a guide there

The cliche saying of "practice makes perfect" does not stray too far from the core of my teaching philosophy, however I do differ on a key point. I believe that practicing anything (whether or not it relates to academics) can only be done successfully if certain foundational skills are present; just as a baseball player, regardless of inherent talent, will fail if they do not know how to hold a bat correctly, so will an English student fail, regardless of the inherent quality of their thought processes, if they do not understand how to properly structure an essay. Practice must thus be accompanied with structured guidance in order to ensure that a strong foundation is in place. I hold an MAT (Master of Arts in Teaching) degree from the University of Puget Sound, am Washington State certified to teach secondary English/Language Arts, and am passionate about helping others to develop an

My teaching style involves being open and relatable while keeping he conversation related to learning and the subjects of importance. I feel like students respond best when they are in a positive work environment and are pushed to be their best. This involves teaching through the Socratic method, of forcing individuals to answer their own questions. I believe that tutors and teachers should be providing students with the tools and skills they need to be productive students instead of giving away answers. I have been tutoring as a volunteer and as a job for a combined 7 years now. I have worked in both one on one tutoring with a dyslexic student, tutoring in specialized topics, and group peer tutoring. My longest individual tutoring experience has been with Aidan, who is dyslexic and I have been working with for 4 years. We focus on taking the larger, more daunting tasks and breakin
