Focused Instruction in the Field of Science and More

I have worked in a wide variety of socioeconomic school settings, which makes me quite versatile when it comes to my approach to teaching. I start from the ground-up, first forming a cognitive scaffold for a subject by teaching the very basics. From there we branch off into more and more complex tasks. I have experience with graphic design and animation programs and love to use technology aids whenever possible. When all else fails I draw upon knowledge the student already possesses and attempt to form analogous models that are easier to understand.
I have had experience in the classroom teaching the three major sciences (physics, chemistry, and biology) at the high school level and also did an apprenticeship as part of a graduate program for UT Health Science Center at San Antonio. My combined experience allows me to construct learning models based on analysis of individual st ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My classes are by no means easy, I prepare my students for life, even if that means having students leave my class with “their head hurting” because they had to think too much. I believe my ultimate philosophy has been that learning should hurt a little bit. If the classroom environment is not provocative, controversial, and challenging, I think the teacher has fallen short of his or her task. On the other hand, I am not afraid of being down-to-earth, funny, or look unusual if I have to do so.
I have extensive work experience and knowledge in the areas of Adult Education and Literacy, teaching English as a Second Language, Math and Science. I would like to share my enthusiasm for these subjects, and education in general. My teaching experiences in Adult Education and Literacy at Northside ISD, San Antonio Texas have allowed me to work with students from diverse backgrounds. During ... read more

Creativity is Intelligence Having Fun

I am very knowledgable in most biological sciences, and have loved doing the work that it takes to make good grades in each of them. I have had the pleasure of helping many students reach the same success, and look forward to doing so for others. Professionally, I have worked with children with and without disabilities to give them the skills needed to become better learners-and have tutored both high school aged children and college students.
Let me know what doesn't work for you, and I will definitely adapt to what might work.

My comments on tutoring Earth Science : I hold a Masters in Mathematics and a Bachelors in Molecular Biology. My teaching certification is EC-6 and just added ESL certified.

I am a certified teacher and have been teaching for 8 years in elementary school. I began my teaching career by accident leaving the law enforcement field to work initially part-time as a teacher. However I really enjoyed working with children and found that I was good at it. Over the years it has been nice to hear both parents, teachers, and children comment that I have made a difference in their lives and that I have helped make them the young people that they are shaping to be. Many children and parents have said that while I was tough I have helped them stay in school and become A students. This motivates me to continue to do my best in my job and for the kids.
I believe all children learn at there own style and pace and that we as teachers need to find what works for the child and help them build on their strengths in a positive way.

Working hard and always driven is how I was able to obtain a Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies with a concentration in Bilingual 4th – 8th grade. Sul Ross State University gave me the tools and expertise needed in order to achieve mastery on my chosen career in education as well as making me proficient in all academic areas such as English, Math, and Science including Bilingual Education.Furthermore my college courses at Sul Ross made me alert to the importance of hands on activities, visuals aids and providing individualized instructional support for a diverse population.During the last four years Ive had the privilege to gain a great deal of knowledge and to experience working with kids on a day to day basis.
Working with kids is my fascination. I believe that teaching children should not be standing up and lecturing or simply explaining something. Its about getting ... read more

My teaching credentials are in English and education. However... At the middle school level and high school level, I have taught/tutored English composition, geography, history, social studies, government, economics, and computer applications. At the college and adult level, I have taught/tutored English composition, oral communications (public speaking and debate), business and business administration, resume writing, advanced computer applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and the Open Office Suite). Having been CEO of a corporation in the public arena, do not expect me to be your normal indoctrinated politically correct public school teacher or college professor. Judge me by the results.
Whether it is in front of a class of 40 or one-on-one, I have been endowed not only with the talent to teach, but also with the God-given ability to motivate. Mo ... read more

As a professor at DeVry University I offered tutoring to my students on weekends for those who did not have a background in life sciences.As a part time professor at Everest College Medical Assisting Program I taught back office skills, physiology, medical ethics and medical termiology. The class memebers often required additional instruction outside of class which I was glad to offer during my office hours. As a part time professor at the Dallas. Texas Court Reporting Institute required I tailor the Physiology I and II classes toward legal testimony and verbiage that would enable future court reporters to understand what was being discussed as it related to court cases such as forensic terms.
My emphasis is class discussion. I engage students to participate in class and in small group projects. I offer one on one tutoring outside of class I orchestrate mentoring to enable thos ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My teaching style is best described as adaptable to the unique learning styles of students. One of the best methods I employ is modeling, using multiple examples that students can understand and apply to their subject. I work at creating an environment conducive to productive learning that is fun because I believe learning is a lifelong privilege. I believe once a student finds the key to unlocking the secret to learning, they will flourish and find an appetite for discovery.
After graduating from college, I began my teaching career in middle school using Abeka curriculum for two years, and then stayed home after having my first child. For the next 16 years I remained at home raising four children, nurturing, educating and home schooling them at times. In 1998, I returned to the classroom and taught 5th grade until 2006, again using the Abeka curriculum each year. After I mov ... read more

I truly enjoy working with individuals at all levels. I feel that all people can learn and that they just need to be shown that science is not too difficult, but very interesting especially if you put the time in. The best value that any person can achieve is a great education because when all is said and done that is something that can never be taken away from you. I strive to affect as many students as possible during my time in education. I want to be one of the people that my student's think back to as the person that enabled them to enjoy science.
I graduated from St. Mary's University with two science bachelor's degrees. I have both a bachelor's in biology and chemistry. I tutored organic chemistry while I was a student. I found that I enjoyed helping people understand difficult subjects.I also attended UTSA and graduated with a Master's degree in biology with a concen ... read more

I am a hands on teacher. Most of the students I have taught, have not reached the analysis state of learning. This has always been my goal, to teach the student to think for his or her self. I do not give extensive lectures, I find that it just befuddles the student. I give facts to learn, and the we apply those facts to a hands on setting for application. I believe this backs up the theoretical book learning, and gives the student confidence in the work he or she does. When they find they've done it, they are amazed--the spark of achievement in their eyes is the most gratifying thing of my career.
I have taught students of all learning levels Science grades 6-12, for 14+ years in the Texas Public Schools. I have taught ESL students, as well, for I am bilingual:reading, writing and speaking. I have more experience with the middle school student, than the high school student, ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe in relationships first. If a teacher knows her/his students, she/he can usually find what motivates them and use that to gain their trust and interest. Having taught for as long as I have, I know of many different ways to reach students. A positive attitude and an easy going personality go a long way, and I am known for both.
I began my teaching career in South San Antonio, teaching at both the elementary level (K and 3) and at the middle school (6-8). At Shepard Middle School, I implemented a writing program that was credited with bringing standardized (TAAS at the time) scores up substantially, garnering our school a large monetary award from the state. After twelve years, I moved to the North East ISD, where I taught English at both Nimitz Middle School and Barbara Bush Middle School. I retired last June, but I still love working with children of all ages.

More About This Tutor...

In my experience as a tutor, I have acquired the highly important skill of adaptability. Certainly, particular techniques and strategies such as asking provocative questions are helpful with any student of any age. More importantly, though, I have learned that the best tutors are those who can shape each session to the tutee's individual needs and personality. This is most easily accomplished in developing a flexible approach constituted by a blend of directive and non-directive tactics. With this approach, my goal is always to aid the tutee in feeling comfortable and confident in developing new ways of thinking about his or her work, and, from there, helping him or her along the journey to success.
