Elementary Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Hamilton, TX

Science is such a fun subject to learn and to teach. I once had a public school class that had to learn about the 5 senses. I was to teach them about how each could affect the others. I brought in a potato, an onion and a knife. After making sure nobody had any allergies to either the potato or onion, the students set about to being awed their teacher had a pocket knife in class. Then I set to work. I cut a few pieces off of each. I called a volunteer up and had them smell the onion, showing it to the class, then popped the potato in their mouth. Again showing it to the class. I asked what they just ate. They were spitting it out as they said "onion" The class was roaring with laughter and begging to be next. I should have taken in 2 of each of the onions and potatoes because I went through them very quickly with all of the volunteers. The kids got the point and had a great time at the

I have volunteered in a school district for just over 3 years and when I do volunteer I assist children in the classroom who have problems in their reading and math. By assisting these students they have improved on their tests as well as gaining confidence in their learning. I work really well one on one with the child who needs such assistance but also in small groups. If needed to assist a child online it can be done as long as there are materials available for the child that is provided by the school.

I have tutored friends and family for 4 years. I have also tutored others while in school and after school for 3 years. While tutoring, I try to find a way to help the student learn by finding a style that fits their personality; therefore, I do not have a preferred teaching style. I've tutored kids ages 6-14 and enjoy doing it.
