Courtney S. - Cortland, NY 13045 (26.6 mi) - Genetics Tutor - $27.50/hr.
Everyone absorbs knowledge differently so it is important to cater to each student's particular needs. I am a very hands-on learner and I feel that is the best way to be taught, especially outside of a classroom setting. By getting the body involved in the learning process, the mind is kept stimulated. I have helped tutor since I was a freshman in high school. I began working with kindergarteners through third grade students on reading and writing. Throughout my sophomore year of high school I tutored middle school math students (ages 11-14) and helped to train our "Mathalon" team. My junior and senior years of high school I mostly helped biology students prepare for the regents exams, as well as continued in the after school reading program for kindergarteners and preschoolers. In college I began tutoring many students for the spanish regents exam and continued helping others prepare fo

Jess W. - Ithaca, NY 14850 (37.3 mi) - Genetics Tutor - $35.00/hr.
I have just completed a PhD in genetics (specifically plant genetics) and I was a TA for Cornell's Introduction to Genetics class for 8 semesters 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.

Charlene M - Binghamton, NY 13901 (14.2 mi) - Genetics Tutor - $44.50/hr.
I love to help children and adults learn and understand course material. I believe teaching is a form of behavioral modification and also adhere to the rule, "if the student has not learned, than the teacher has not taught". Every child has a unique learning style and it becomes the teacher's responsibility to adapt to each child's learning needs. Basically my teaching style changes for each person I interact with. The tools I use in tutoring include the following: visual aids, analogies, improving literacy (vocabulary), projects, presentations, etc. During my years as an undergraduate student I tutored many of my fellow classmates in biological sciences including but not limited to the following subject areas: genetics, molecular biology, general biology, human anatomy and physiology and writing intensive requirements. Currently I am a Molecular Biologist with the Agricultural

Christopher P - Norwich, NY 13815 (15.2 mi) - Genetics Tutor - $49.50/hr.
I pursued my degree in Biotechnology with the intent of continuing my education with a PhD in Molecular Microbiology. Instead, I have worked in the pharmaceutical industry for a total of 5 years as an Analytical Chemist. I was a Trained Trainer at Wyeth Pharmaceuticals for 2 years which means I completed a program on how to teach other employees to perform tasks in a method that maximized retention (allowed them to remember the process well). I have solid grammatical skills honed while writing professional reports. My teaching experience to date has been in a professional setting. I relate best to high school and college students because these levels are what I am used to dealing with. I am relatively patient and willing to re-explain difficult concepts. I provide working examples of concepts to foster comprehension and retention.

Amy R - Norwich, NY 13815 (15.5 mi) - Genetics Tutor - $45.50/hr.
I hold a BS in Biology from the University at Albany. I also have a profound love for mathematics and have tutored numerous students in calculus I and II while in college. Going along with my love for mathematics I enjoy the study of physics and tutored two students in both physics I and II while in college. I believe my experiences in college have prepared me to be a good tutor in biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics and writing of research papers or laboratory reports. Furthermore, while in college I also did a year of high school tutoring with a program called "Homework Help" that tutored high school kids from the inner city Rochester schools. I consider myself, and I believe most others consider me to be a people person, who works well with all people. Working with children is a passion of mine. I am a very patient individual, and am willing to try many things to make you child h

Eloiza D - Kirkwood, NY 13795 (15.5 mi) - Genetics Tutor - $46.50/hr.
I am a visual learner, and so my first approach to teaching is using visual aids. I usually draw, use diagrams, or try to paint a mental picture for my students of what I'm trying to teach them. I am excellent at explaining complex terms so any layperson can understand them. I have only worked with teenage/young 20s people, so have less experience with a younger crowd.
I have learned teaching college students that if one teaching approach doesn't work, try another! I am willing and able to explain the same concept as many ways as needed for someone to understand. My students at BU rarely left my classroom confused. During high school, I tutored for the Upward Bound program. I tutored fellow high school students in math, science, english, and history.
I taught biology undergraduate laboratories during graduate school. My background is math and science. I have experience preparing e

Julie L - Sherburne, NY 13460 (21.5 mi) - Genetics Tutor - $45.00/hr.
I am flexible to include many teaching styles while working with students. I have found, however, that the best way I have learned is through experience/discovery. I prefer a hands on approach but I am patient with those that are not ready or do not prefer to learn that way. The best tutors/instructors can adjust thier teaching style to the style the student(s) prefer. I have assisted many students throughout my years as an undergraduate, graduate, and alumni to achieve thier goals in college. I was very determined to stay on the dean's list and get involved in many groups in college. I have also written many papers on various aspects of human biology.

Desuri A - Vestal, NY 13850 (23.9 mi) - Genetics Tutor - $52.00/hr.
I love teaching and working with all age groups. I am patient and easy going. I believe all children can learn, but each does so differently. My goal is to find the best way for each individual. This often entails different approaches at times. I provide mainly a constructivist and sometimes "expert" (focus on facts) approach to learning. However, I have found that a variety of styles may be needed to help a student learn. I believe in using a variety of learning materials to help reach students: such as audio, visual or other technology available that may help them be successful. If students have the appropriate atmosphere and materials they need, I believe they will be successful. I've always highly valued education. As a former teacher, my quest to achieve high levels of excellence in education continued. For the past nine years, I've taught several levels of science courses

Sarah G - Ithaca, NY 14850 (31.2 mi) - Genetics Tutor - $46.50/hr.
For the past five years I have provided personal tutoring to both the Ithaca Community and the Ithaca College Community. I have also spent the past three years working and volunteering at the Ithaca Youth Bureau with children of various ages in both a tutoring and non-tutoring. As a recent graduate from Ithaca College with a BA in Biology and concentrations in Mathematics and Anthropology, I feel highly qualified and enthusiastic to assist your student. While math and biology were my most prominent subjects in college, I also enjoyed and excelled at writing for both the sciences and the humanities. With a diverse set of skills, I am eager to work with your student. My teaching style is sensitive, enthusiastic, and patient. In both tutoring and non-tutoring settings I believe it is imperative that students feel comfortable. It is always my goal that students feel able to volunteer w

Andrew P - Oneonta, NY 13820 (32.9 mi) - Genetics Tutor - $48.00/hr.
I hold both a B.S. and a Ph.D. in chemistry and over the past 14 years I have mentored, tutored, and instructed at the college level in chemistry and biology. I currently am employed as an assistant professor of chemistry at a small private liberal arts college where I have taught chemistry full-time the past two years. My area of study is biochemistry, a rewarding interdisciplinary field, which has trained me extensively in many facets of chemistry, biology, and mathematics. Scientists and teaching professors must also be effective communicators, both in written and verbal modes, and I have had extensive training and experience writing and publishing scientific papers and presenting my scientific research at the national level. My collective experiences as a student, mentor, and instructor in large and small collegiate environments have taught me to display my passion for science an

Seth C - Sempronius, NY 13118 (35.8 mi) - Genetics Tutor - $49.00/hr.
Effective teaching comes by teaching the student to learn how to learn. All people are generally intelligent, but in different aspects of intelligence. All people can learn, but at varying speeds. Learning how to learn is increasing the speed of learning in those aspects of intelligence in which one is inept. Chemistry is a very abstract science, and many people find it confusing. Chemistry requires all the faculties of teaching, like 3D visual aids, memory tricks, and most importantly, analogies. I often consider chemistry a science of analogies. Concepts in chemistry are also like bricks to the over all edifice of its understanding. Often times students don't understand one concept because they don't thoroughly understand another. My teaching style varies from individual to individual because everybody learns differently. Sometimes just re-phrasing the same concept differentl
