Love to share my passion for All things science

I think science is fun and exciting. I like to teach with a hands on approach.
I have worked in the aquarium industry for 19years. I have indepth knowledge, practical skills related to the marine science field. I grew up in a VA suburb of Washington, DC and spent my summers and holidays from college as a page, intern, and tour guide in the US Capitol. I have a passion for learning that I would love to share with students in need. My most recent job as Associate Curator at the Georgia Aquarium required that I have indepth knowledge of a wide variety of marine and freshwater habitats, ecology, fish ID, water chemistry, and management of a team of biologist.

A Little Bit About Me...

As an undergraduate student I was always in the top ten percentile of my math, chemistry and biology classes, and as a result, I tutored fellow college students in those respective subjects. After earning my bachelor degree in biology, I worked as an educator at the South Carolina Aquarium where I taught interactive classes to kindergarten, middle school and high school students. I also worked for the Leadership Development Program at the College of Charleston where I co-facilitated student leadership classes. And most recently, while in graduate school I held a teaching assistant position and tutored freshman and sophomore college students in topics related to international development.
My teaching style is based on the student’s learning style. Each child is different and may require different teaching methods to facilitate learning. Some children are more visual and may require ... read more

As a Facilitator for Western/Delta Air Lines, I was sent to a Training Mapping class in Los Angeles, Ca. to master writing training materials based on the Fogg Index of the trainees. I have also been a Substitute Teacher in the Fayette County School system from 2003-2008 in various grade levels (kindergarden to High School. The subject levels that I have taught range from art, mathematics, English, History, and Science. My repore with the younger generation is my forte.
I have always enjoyed teaching at any level. One of my strengths is to recognize the personality of the student and contour my style to that particular personality. In a class room setting, I would focus on a student that I feel is shy and afraid to speak. I would gently get them involved with simple questions to build their confidence so that others in the same realm would understand and overcome the fear associat ... read more

It is most important to communicate respect and find natural ways to empower each student so that they feel good about their ability to meet the goals ahead. I encourage critical thinking and often use picture and story associations to improve memory recall. It is important to me that your child is guided to discover the right answer rather than just giving them the answer in efforts to save time. As a result of this teaching style, it appears that I have a strength in helping students prepare for exams and several parents have asked me to home school their children and even volunteered to recruit more parents.
For over 20 years, I have had the opportunity to tutor children, peers and older adults in various subjects including math, English and science as well as guide them at presentation skills, critical thinking and small business solutions. As an undergraduate student, I ... read more

I have always encouraged my own children to find something they love as a career. They could see from my example, that loving what you do makes all the difference in the world. I know that children are individuals and do not all learn in the same way. There are many paths to success. It just takes getting to know the student and finding what works for him/her. I think knowing the student and all that they bring to their learning experience, helps you to find what is effective in teaching them.
I began teaching in the Valdosta City School System also being a reading teacher for students with problems. Gwinnett County School System (1974-1990). I conducted workshops on teaching reading and writing to Kdg.-1st graders. I received inservice training classes in writing, reading, and mentoring young teachers.

A Little Bit About Me...

With so many years teaching middle school students in classrooms, I specialize in crafting just the right learning environment for students, emotionally safe but a little push outside their intellectual comfort zone. This is achieved through patience, clarity of thought, and modeling a sense of wonder about the world. I have worked with students who receive special education services as well as gifted students, and am adept at differentiating content and delivery to best promote comprehension and retention. Finally, everyone learns best when they feel like they are having fun and making their own discoveries--it's my job to ensure this sense of adventure is part of students' educational experience, offering ever more motivation to learn.
With 7 years of international and U.S-based teaching, tutoring, and training experience, I am at ease teaching multiple subjects to individuals an ... read more

I believe that each student is unique and they have their own method of learning information.

My students inspire and motivate me and I encourage them to continue using what they have learned from our tutoring sessions into their daily lives.

During my education career of thirty plus years, I have taught grade level and remedial language arts for grades 6-12, as well as freshman composition (college level), Advanced Placement Literature and Language, and college prep literature and writing courses. While employed as a high school teacher and department head, I elected to teach courses from the entire spectrum of those offered in English. Thus, I am experienced in attending to students' skills and effective instruction in relation to state requirements and test results. Immediately following retirement in 2004, as an education consultant for a major publishing company, I taught reading and language arts to diverse elementary students in cities in the Midwest, Southwest, and Southeast until 2008. I constantly assessed the impact of lesson design and specific teaching strategies for individuals and groups within given enviro ... read more

I have come to understand that different people have different ways of learning. I try to utilize any method that I think may be helpful to the student. Whether the student is a visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learner, I have the patience and willingness to provide a way for them to embrace the concepts in the best way I can. I value and understand the benefit of an education, and I can only hope that I am able to instill that belief in other students.
I have always had a strong passion and natural inclination toward the fields of math and science. In high school, I was a member of our Varsity Math Team and was named the Outstanding Science Student for the Class of 2006. This love and knowledge of science was further developed in my college career as I worked toward earning my Bachelor of Science in Chemistry with a minor in Biology. Being a science major, I was also required to t ... read more
