Life Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Goldsmith, IN

My education includes two degrees in the life sciences. My first one was animal science / pre-veterinary medicine. The second was secondary education with an emphasis in biology. I teach biology and have had plenty of experience in many of the biologically based sciences like ecology, genetics, and anatomy and physiology. I am a certified modeling teacher. Modeling is a "hands on" inquiry based style of teaching. I teach through allowing the students to deal with a given problem or scenario. I then use extensive amount of questioning to help the child to use their logic to solve the problem. This not only teaches the science material; but it also helps the student to learn how to think logically and to ask themselves the right questions. In other words, I don't just teach the material, I teach students how to think critically in a way that not only helps the student to learn the s

Socratic- I encourage questions, challenges, am willing and happy to look things up with students, know I do not know everything and enjoy revising my own knowledge as I go. Current knowledge changes continuously, and a day in which I learn something myself is a good one. Have tutored in multiple subjects (math, French, physics, MCAT, etc) since college. Served as adjunct faculty to Indiana School of Medicine and St Vincent Fam Med residency from 1993-2005. Have taught multiple paramedical subjects at National College in Indianapolis from 11/10- current. Got two english major daughters through HS math (through trig) and physics. (Hardest of all)

I love teaching and working with children of all ages. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I would love to be a part of your child's academic success. Not only am I patient, easy going, and kind but I am determined to do whatever it takes to get your child to stretch for their maximum potential. Although learning math and science require doing practice problems, I will be looking for the best way to teach and motivate the child according to their natural tendencies. The right teacher can make a huge difference in the education of children. I pledge to do my best in all of my students' lives. I am a graduate of Purdue University with a degree in Engineering. Not only have I excelled in math and science throughout the educational process, I also did very well in all other subjects, never receiving less than a 'B' letter grade in any class. More importantly

I first try to determine what level of knowledge my "students" had. Then, building on that, I would add layers until the group I was with understood the material. I would check with them frequently to make sure they understood what we just covered and I allowed questions at any time. If necessary, I would back up and try a different approach. My goal was to make sure they understood the material, whatever it took. While I have no "official" teaching experience, I was frequently required to teach other members of the various teams I was on as well as people from other groups. This involved everything from tutorial presentations to a large and diverse group down to individual tutoring at the table in my office. Most people told me I was pretty good at it.

I have been tutoring children and adults for about 7 years now in all levels of math and science. I prefer math tutoring but will do science so long as it is a math based science (no biology or physiology please). I love to work with students finding their unique learning style and making math just make sense. I have a degree in Civil Engineering which has allowed me to feel comfortable with just about all levels of math and most levels of science. I am working on my MBA which has allowed me to branch out into being able to assist students with accounting and other business related mathematics.

I have many years experience tutoring and teaching elementary-aged students. I have a BA in Elementary Education from Purdue University. I have worked with elementary students of ever grade level, in both the classroom setting and on an individual tutoring basis. I tutor in all subject areas, excluding foreign languages. I currently work as an instructional assistant in an elementary school, serving as a remediation aide. In this position, I am responsible for creating lessons and activities for students who are struggling in certain subject areas. I have a passion for teaching and working with elementary-aged children. They are at an age where they love to learn new things, and also liked to be praised and recognized for their good work. Because of this I provide a very nurturing atmosphere for children in which they will feel safe and encouraged to do their work. I believe every child

I would characterize my teaching style as relationally oriented. I want the student to know that I care about him or her. I may not articulate as much, but I want the student to see that I am giving my time to serve their needs and not my own. Loosely speaking, I am also a proponent of multiple intelligences. The creative teacher can usually identify a way to relate material and content using a methodology that connects. My teaching style is based in facts. I philosophically reject radical post-modernity which posits that truth is a moving target. The student does not have the right to tell me that 1+1 = 3 because 1+1 = 2. I believe excellent teaching is rather like music or cooking – part art, part science. You don't get a beautiful wedding cake or a stunning symphony without a good measure of both. I have extensive preparation and training that will allow me to succeed as an E

As a biology teacher, I work very hard to get the students attention and interest in learning new topics in biology. I utilize various teaching methods that encourages a differentiated learning. I understand that children all learn differently and have different ways of learning and retaining information. I am big on modeling and giving examples for the students to apply what is being taught. The environment in which the student learns is important and it's also important to give the student the tools needed to be successful on new material. For example, I try to have them relate new information in science to their lives and experiences. Most importantly, I try to make biology fun. I have a B.S. degree in Biology from Indiana University in Bloomington and I also have an M.B.A. I worked in the environmental field for 15 years prior. I bring in real live work experiences to the job. I taug

I enjoy teaching and working with individuals of all ages. I think that everyone can learn in their own way. I am patient and easy-going, but willing to work hard to get the job done. I believe in allowing students to find the way in which they learn best. I think that everyone can find success given the appropriate environment and encouragement. I strive to give each student that opportunity. As an undergraduate student, I strived to achieve academic excellence in a variety of subjects. I earned a bachelor’s degree with a major in History and a minor in French. Additionally, I studied required medical school prerequisites. Thus, I have experience in a variety of mathematics and science courses, including biology, general and organic chemistry, physics, calculus, and statistics. I have experience tutoring students in various math, science, and language courses.

As a student at Earlham College, a liberal arts institution, I had the opportunity to participate in a wide range of academic experiences. As an English major, I have acquired extensive grammatical skills as a result of writing numerous essays analyzing various types of prose. My study of Spanish was also quite thorough, and during my four years at Earlham I went from being an intermediate speaker to a fluent one. The courses I took within the Spanish Department were excellent, but the semester I spent abroad in Mexico was just as significant, for it immersed me in the language and culture of the Mexican people in a way I had never before experienced. Since graduating from Earlham, I have had the opportunity to tutor students in Spanish. I love teaching and interacting with children of all ages.
