I can relate best with the student/youth.

Very relaxed, easy going, friendly. I feel less pressure and non stressful settings help students learn better. They can relate to a younger person who is more in tune with youth and someone who understands them.
I attended Rufus King World IB High school in Milwaukee, Wi, one of the most prestigious inner city high schools in the country. I excelled in IB Geography, Chorus, and Theatre. I was one of those kids who never did any homework, but passed my tests. Everyone came to me for help on projects, homework, ect. I feel that I didn't fully utilize my strengths in school as I could have, so I would love to share that with those who need it now.

Marine Biology is one of my top subjects! I have a Master's Degree in Marine Biology and have conducted independent research projects in this field.

I successfully completed a B.S. in Marine Biology from the College of Charleston in 2004. During my undergraduate career I was able to participate in a research cruise at sea and conduct independent research. I later worked for the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, Marine Resources Division, conducting research in a variety of fields including mariculture and stock enhancement. In 2006 I began the graduate program in Marine Biology at the College of Charleston. While there, I taught two semesters of Molecular Biology Lab as a Teaching Assistant. Currently, I am a Research Analyst at Duke University in the Neurobiology Department. Part of my responsibilities include teaching concepts and lab techniques to undergraduate work-study students. My real-world research experience has given me a great appreciation for the importance of understanding the fundamentals of scienc ... read more

Learning as an Individual, Believing in Your Value

Discovery with emphasis on individual learning style - for instance tactical or visual instead of instructional - also have worked with kids who have emotional issues or self image issues that hold them back from learning - interested in working with kids who are in need of a someone who sees them as an individual
Have worked with elementary age children and have tutored/mentored in the workplace. With many years of work experience with employees of varying skill levels, I understand what it takes to be a valued contributor and understand that students learn in very different ways. Creating a relationship with information that is meaningful to the student is the best way to help them learn a concept or process. Most learning focuses on information assimilation while I focus on applying the concept or process to a real work situation that has meaning to the student.

I am a very energetic person and try to bring that to everything that I do. I am also very concerned with providing students with an understanding of the concept behind what they are learning and what the real-world applications of those concepts are. I feel that it is the key to engage students by making them see the benefits of their education in the long run.
I have recently graduated from the University of Richmond with a degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. I am looking forward to helping others expand their knowledge in the area of science. I have tutored high school students in chemistry and biology, and have gain knowledge of both fields through my degree in biochemistry, enabling me to be versatile in subject matter.

A Little Bit About Me...

During my time at Duke I enjoyed rigorous pre-medical subjects like biology and chemistry, but my interests also include English and psychology. I graduated cum laude in May 2009 with B.A. degrees in Pre-Med and English/History/Psychology. More importantly, I have tutored biology, writing/grammatical skills, English, psychology, and chemistry to a wide range of students—from college to elementary aged. I hope to put my 4 years of tutoring experience to work for you!
I enjoy being with people! I envision our discussions as part of an exciting collaboration to capitalize upon your strengths and learn in the most effective, efficient, and fun way. We will learn collaboratively to insure you understand what WE have talked about before I leave. I will break down abstract concepts into simple examples and respond to your feedback immediately in a focused yet relaxed atmosphere.

More About This Tutor...

I began 'teaching' as the head wakeboarding instructor at Coble Ski School in Lillington, NC, when I was a junior in high school. Shortly thereafter I took a position working at a beach resort in Pensacola, FL, where I spent an entire summer instructing surfing, kayaking and sailing. At Duke I tutored during each of my four years, either biweekly at a local Durham elementary school or at the Emily K Family Life Center. It is there where I tutored once weekly as a senior, up until I graduated in May. I have tutored in all subjects and all ages up through 22.
When I approach a student I've never worked with, my first priority is to make them feel comfortable by letting them see that I am a very nice, friendly, and compassionate person that they might like to have as a friend. Next I try to get them to tell me about themselves in some way (what they've been working on, their fav ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love working with all children. I enjoy changing my style to fit the specific need of the child and helping them in the way they learn the best. I want to be able to help them learn to become independent problem solvers. I want to help them become an asset to the team even when they are in the classroom and I am not there to coach them through that problem they can use what they have learned and be the best student in the class.
I have graduated from North Carolina State University and earned a bachelors degree in Chemistry. While studying I have learned math and science as my forte but have also taken English, Spanish and history courses. I have written many reports in both my major classes and outside of them. I have been involved in many programs that help enhance children learning. I have worked diligently in the community specifically with underprivileged children to ... read more

I recognize the great responsibility of teachers to learners. I feel strongly that every child is important and I love to show my students how special they are. I bring a lot of energy and enthusiasm to my lessons. I have found that I can show children, through example, that learning can be fun and exciting and not as scary as they might sometimes feel. I am very patient and kind and have a genuine desire to see the success in others.
As an undergraduate at BYU, I served as a homeschool teacher/tutor for three young sisters. For two years, I taught these girls' Math, Chemistry, and Physics lessons. I also worked as a teaching assistant for three courses of marine biology where I assisted in lectures and lab sessions, as well as assisted student groups in developing and executing research projects. As a master's student at UNC, I served as a teaching assistant for a public hea ... read more

I believe my role as a teacher is to establish an environment that promotes the development of students to the maximum extent limited only by their talents and desires. A challenging aspect of this role is helping students identify their talents and encourage their desire for learning. Toward this end, I believe it is necessary to develop a relationship with each student which will allow me to serve in multiple roles: facilitator, adviser, task master, teacher, role model, and friend.
As a current tutor for Kaplan, I am involved with teaching future dentists how to prepare for the Dental Admission Test (DAT). Teaching prospective dental school applicants how to master this standardized test involves teaching not only test taking strategies, but also the mastery of large volumes of information. The DAT tests knowledge in the following areas: biology, chemistry, organic chemistr ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a staff accountant for a large, global corporation (sales revenue approx. $250 million/yr) I have very much experience in all areas of finance and accounting. I specialize in journal entry writing and reconciliations. I reconcile both bank account statements and account balances with my master bank reconciliation having approximately $40 million debits and credits monthly.
I love teaching and showing people how easy accounting can be and how much it helps you in real life situations. Most students get overwhelmed easily with double entry accrual accounting. I find it best to relate the material directly to the students personal life purchase and income habits. This way they can have a hands on approach and hopefully find the rules easy and helpful in daily financial situations.

I have a passion for working with children and helping them succeed. I taught math for two years and had the highest EOG scores in the school. I am a very fun, easy going, and creative person. I find ways to relate the material to the child's interest to make sure they are engaged at all times. I beleive if you can get a child's attention and make the work fun and interesting, they will more likely remember the information and use it to succeed. Good teachers are hard to find. I work very hard to make a difference.
In my three years in education, I have discovered that I was made to be a teacher. I have a bachelor's degree in biology and I am currently working on my master's degree. I am extremely involved in school activities and academic competitions. Science is my passion, but I also have an extensive math background. I began tutoring students in college and I have con ... read more

I am a passionate teacher and tutor. I believe that there is not a minute to waste when working with youth, and I like to conduct vigorous tutorials and well-paced classes. I believe that everyone has a different learning style, and this is why tutoring is such an integral supplement to classroom teaching. I enjoy getting to know my students and creating lesson plans for tutorials based on their personal learning styles. I believe that a student has to be engaged and challenged in order to learn and I absolutely provide that in my tutorials.
I earned two bachelor degrees from the University of North Carolina in December of 2007. From there, I chose to move to Massachusetts to participate in a ground breaking fellowship at MATCH Charter Public High School.

More About This Tutor...

As a tutor my initial focus is identifying the students strengths and applying them when addressing areas where the student has a deficit. It is important to motivate the student in order to give confidence in their ability to face academic challenges. The key is to establish or enhance the foundation of student learning by developing a positive relationship with developing dependency. It is also important that the student develops transferrable skills regarding problem solving when addressing current assignments so that despite the situation, he/she possesses the meta-cognitive skills to adapt and succeed.
My experience began as a tutor in college and upon graduating I taught eighth grade science, high school sciences (biology, physical and earth), community college level biology (I and II) and biotechnology. I have a MS in Biology (research/thesis and study focus in biochemis ... read more
