A Little Bit About Me...

I strongly believe in learning by doing. I have never given a lecture or taught something 1on1 without providing practice problems or peppering students with questions. The hardest part about this is getting students to understand that it is okay to ask and answer questions. Most students I have encountered are used to simply looking at the teacher but never really interacting with them. If I ask a question and nobody gets it, I rephrase it, reteach the section that led up to the question and generally try to understand why the question is not being answered. Aside from some initial amount of memorization, students need to learn how to think through concepts and ideas, and the best way to do that, regardless of subject, is ask them things.
As a rising junior at Cornell University, I was asked to TA a Chemistry course for engineers. I accepted and entered into my first teaching posi ... read more

An effective tutor is one who is able to help the student identify their strengths and weakness and then work with the student to increase their understanding, thereby reinforcing their strong points and building strength on weak points. In order to accomplish this, I maintain a very relaxed, comfortable tutoring area so that the student feels completely comfortable discussing their academic strengths and weaknesses. With this trust established, I drive my tutor sessions with questions enabling the student to tell me what they know (or don't know) so that I'm not the one talking the whole time. It is a teacher's job to lecture; it is a tutor's job to build understanding. This understanding is developed through question answering and discussion between the student and the tutor.
I have worked as a tutor throughout my undergraduate career and also for a part of my high school career ... read more

Science, especially biology and chemistry, has always intrigued me. Since I was a child, I had always known that I wanted to study biology. I received a BA in Biology in May 2006 from CU. During my studies there, I focused on chemistry and received a minor in French. My coursework is quite varied, and I have experience writing scientific papers, laboratory reports, research papers, and essays. Last fall, I taught an English class to adults in Mahahual, Mexico where I was volunteering.
I love meeting and interacting with new people, children and adults alike. I have extreme patience. I believe that it is imperative to make the student feel comfortable in the learning environment. I would never embarrass a student for asking a question. So many times in the past, I have witnessed teachers ridiculing students for asking a question because they genuinely did not understand the ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a firm believer in the ability to learn, and that everyone can it just may take few tries to find the correct technique to gather information. I am a patient and caring person when it comes to education. I will take my time and make sure learners understand everything I am teaching.
I have been educating learners in the content of science for the past three years. I gather information from my experiences in my education to help learners get the best knowledge they can get. I am always looking for new information to not only increase learners knowledge but also my own. This drive for knowledge has gotten me into the AVID tutoring program which uses content learning to help learners gather information.

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy teaching and spreading the knowledge that I have learned. Children of all ages have such a developing mind and it is a pleasure to be a role-model for them. I am humble and patient, trustworthy and kind. I teach with pictures, drawings, model sets, notebook paper, books, and computer simulations. I would love for the opportunity to tutor in the field of math and science.
I have been studying in the scientific field for over 7 years at the college level and obtained pre-pharmacy status from a community college as well as an Associates of Applied Science Degree from the same community college majoring in Chemical Processing Technology. Also I have obtained a Bachelors of Science Degree in Chemistry from an accredited University. I have taken math courses up to and including differential equations (sometimes called Calculus 4) as well as many organic, inorganic and analytical ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love to see a student light up when he realizes for the first time that he is capable of achieving success in an area that he has previously experienced failure. I understand that each person has his own way of learning and I am sensitive to those who need special attention or non-traditional forms of learning. My goal is to provide each student with the tools and knowledge to learn on their own. Incorporating basic study skills into a lesson is key to watching a student become an independent and lifetime learner. I believe that learning is fun and hopefully my enthusiasm and love for learning can help spark a similar love in my student.
My level of academic excellence has led me to pursue a career in teaching. I have earned two degrees, AFA in Vocal Performance and BA in religion and philosophy which has demonstrated and expanded my experience, knowledge, and ability in the area ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

After graduating from college with a BS degree in Zoology, I chose to serve for two years in the AmeriCorps. A large portion of my responsibilites were teaching in and out of the classroom on the importance of environmental stewardship. I recognized early on the amazing dynamics of teaching and the lives that were changed because of it. After AmeriCorps I spent a majority of my time substitute teaching in three different states - California, Colorado and Idaho. During my time in Colorado, I tutored for a private boarding school. I tutored in math, science, English and even grammar for both local and international students. Part of my tutoring responsibilities were to keep weekly contact through email with the students' teachers and their parents.
It has been written about for centuries where one teacher made all the difference in the decisions that a student made for the rest ... read more

As a tutor, my role is to empower you to discover your own inner abilities to learn. I will help you set priorities and discover the ways that you learn best. I will do my best to make learning an enjoyable experience. Teachers have truly made a world of difference in my life. They have ignited in me a passion for lifelong learning. Personal connections with the teacher, and to the subject matter, have been central to my learning. I strive to give to students what I have received from my teachers and mentors; a caring and open space for learning, growth and the knowledge that someone is truly dedicated to my success.

My objective, as a graduate of Pacific Lutheran University (May, 2007) with a B.S. degree in Biology and Chemistry, is to pursue a life of action in social justice and environmental protection. I want to use my life for something tangible and productive. I am articulate, responsible, dependable, reliable and well-educated. Though I have a strong background in science, with significant lab and research experience, I discovered my passion for working with people with diverse backgrounds while studying abroad in both British Columbia and South Africa working with, learning about, and talking to, the indigenous peoples of both places. Suddenly the global oppression of indigenous populations and native habitats and the urgent need for change through advocacy and action was thrust upon me. I became very aware of education as the foundation of social justice and equality, and the need for actio ... read more

I love teaching, I love helping a student believe in themselves and realize they can learn anything. I am patient, able to take broad concepts and break them down. I enjoy the idea of exploring and not just plain learning styles. Each student is different and have their own way of learning which is why I love the idea of tutoring and working one on one with a student.
I just finished at the University of Northern Colorado with a degree in Biology and Secondary education. I can teach 7-12th grade all science areas and really enjoy all levels of science. Going through high school and college I obtained a great work ethic which helped me succeed to the Dean's list, and various other titles. I have research experience and have been in front of the classroom for a year and loved it. I can help with projects, studyign and just learning how to read a science textbook.
