A Little Bit About Me...

First -Meet the student, Assess the strength and weakness of the student. Second Using the students strength strategy work on the weakness. I believe in doing, for example assignments, lectures have to be interactively approached and conducted independently by the student at all times.

Biology is one of my top subjects! I received my BS in Biological Sciences with a minor in Chemistry with honors in 2010. As an undergraduate I served as the supplemental instructor leading peer reviewed tutor sessions for a Cellular and Molecular Biology, Genetics and Evolution class as well as an Organism and Ecological Biology class. Due to my postive reinforcement and support, I won awards as a Master SI leader (College Reading and Learning Association) as well as University awards for most attendees, and creative learning techniques. I also was nominated to the Beta-Beta-Beta National Biology Honor Society, and later awarded an honorary member due to my work as the President for 2009/2010.

I have tutored one-on-one as well as to large groups. My focus is on college level science classes. I feel that bringing creative and unique methods to learning helps student overcome their dispassion or fear. My sessions aim to be positive and motivating. Although I have won numerous awards for my creativity, and presentation methods, the greatest reward have been the smiling faces of my students after the course when they brag about their final grades. Let me show you that you can succeed in science.

More About This Tutor...

I love to teach and tutor mathematics, especially algebra, when students cannot seem to grasp basic concepts. Usually when a analogy to money is used, it becomes a little more successful. Learning and teaching have always been a joy to me. I believe that good reading skills are essential to good learning at all levels and in all subjects. I read a lot as a child, as I grew up, and I continue to enjoy reading today. Not only do I like to tutor and teach, but I would like to serve as a role model for young girls to turn to the Science/Math field and arena. Good parenting +limited amount of video/computer time+ lots of physical exercise + reading = Great learning,and development for any child. Many times students need the extra one-on-one attention that a tutor can give them to reinforce concepts, and skills; given this opportunity to do this for your child would be a pleasure to me.

Though my experience is mostly in molecular biology, it can be expanded to general life sciences. I have just completed a PhD in Genetics at Cornell University with a minor in biochemistry and during my graduate experience, I lectured as a Teaching Assistant for the Introduction to Genetics class for 8 semesters.
My teaching style consists of asking leading questions to enable the student to learn how to think through problems on their own.

My comments on tutoring Biology : I took two college level courses in Biology.

I have worked in the science field for several years which has allowed me to utilize my college degree. Coming from a aerobic teaching background, I have no trouble motivation and explanation. I have held management positions and have taught the new employee. I believe my patience and can do attitude would benefit anyone that is struggling with grasping concepts.
A visual style.

More About This Tutor...

If I am tutoring a young person I contact the teacher so that I can find out what areas the student needs review in. Many times the teacher will give me the resources and materials to use. Also, I like to use the guide books for each grade that are sold in stationary areas of most stores. For tutoring in reading I've found the Leapfrog Reading Program is very helpful. I like to meet my students at the library so that I can use the resources found in the library, including the computer. Many times I use educational games because are very useful tools in learning, and they are fun.
I graduated from Finger Lakes Community College with an AA in Elementary Education. I passed the NYS Teacher's Assistant Skills Test in 2006. I worked at BOCES as a tutor.

I believe that students must be able to perform through practice problems to fully demonstrate understanding of information. Therefore, I will check to see what a student understands about a particular topic, give some instruction, and then test their knowledge with appropritae questions.
I have taught high school science for nine years at Penn Yan Academy including: The Living Environment, Chemistry, Environmental Chemistry, and Access Science for Special Education students. I have permanent teaching certificates in Chemistry 7-12, and Biology - General Science 7-12.

A Little Bit About Me...

Throughout college, I was a substitute teacher at the local elementary and middle school where I worked with the children in the classroom environment. I also worked one on one with children that were having a difficult time in their classwork. I was also a tutor to the middle school and lower high school students during my Junior and Senior year of high school. I earned a BA degree in Biochemistry and am very comfortable in tutoring middle and high school students in the sciences.
I have always been a patient teacher and have learned that each child has there own learning style. To better tutor a child, they need to be able to learn in their own style. I understand this and will do my best to target their style to allow them to learn in a way that is easy and fun for them. I try to apply what is being learned into every day life to keep the interest in the subject, I feel th ... read more

Teaching is really what I take pride in and consider myself proficient at. As a co-founder of Read for the Stars, I helped developed a program for at risk, elementary level, inner city students which involved traditional, sit-down tutoring as well as active learning in order to serve the greatest amount of students possible. As a resident assistant for freshmen males, I have learned how to handle crisis situations and tailor my teaching style to all types of personalities. My favorite part of teaching is seeing the finished product and the gratification students feel when their hard work has allowed them to succeed, because that is when I know I have done everything I needed to do and set out to do.
As a graduate of a small, liberal arts college, I feel that I have a unique perspective on learning. With over 50 credits for my BS in Biochemistry as well as my “core” (including En ... read more

I spent five semesters tutoring students at the Study Center at Southampton College. In my professional life I have a great deal of experience in manufacturing, including positions as a Plant Chemist and a R&D Chemist.
I enjoy teaching, especially on a one-to-one basis. I firmly believe that the more interactive teaching is, the more effective it is, and therefore, there is greater retention.

I feel as though every student will have their own niche. They will have a special subject that they enjoy the most and one that they despise. I think that figuring out how the child studies for the subject they enjoy will lead to an understanding of how to motivate that student to learn the subjects that are more difficult for them. Also, if the student's teacher stays positive and pushes him or her towards success by means of positive reinforcement they will succeed.
While studying at SUNY ESF I held a position as a teaching assistant for Western Civilization. This involved grading exams and papers, preparing and giving lectures, and holding office hours to assist students with any questions or concerns they may have had. I also spent time volunteering to teach and after school science club through ESF Outreach for elementary / middle school aged children.

With a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science, Minor in Mathematics, I accepted a position with Xerox Corporation as an entry-level programmer. During my employment at Xerox, I successfully completed my Master of Science degree and continued to advance in the engineering field. My eight-year career at Xerox gave me invaluable experience in the computer industry field. When I decided to enter the teaching field, I was very fortunate to be accepted into the Roberts Wesleyan “Teachers for Tomorrow” program in which I was able to become a full-time mathematics teacher in the Rochester City School district while obtaining my Masters of Educations degree, and teaching certificates in both mathematics and special education.
My goal as a teacher is to help students learn and understand Math. I believe as a teacher, you want to pass onto your students to excel in whatever they wa ... read more
