Genetics Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Lanesville, NY

Experienced and New York State Certified teacher. I have over 10 years experience teaching students in grades 1-12 and 5 years experience teaching adults. I also have extensive tutoring experience. I have an MA from Marist College as well as a BA from NYU. I have designed and taught SAT prep classes (verbal/writing portion) as well as developing curriculum integrating diverse domains of knowledge to create a broad, deep and flexible learning experience for students. I believe that competence and confidence are BOTH important in learning. Students bring their own knowledge and learning styles to the process. It is the teachers job not only to adapt instructional style to best support the learner, but also to help the student understand his or her own learning style and needs.

My favorite topic in science, genetics is my true passion and I enjoy learning about it in my spare time as well. My style is very flexible. I understand that some students just need to hear another person tell them the information, while other students require an in-depth discovery of each concept. I can provide both and anything in between to match you or your child's individual learning needs. I am versed in the Cornell Method of note taking, and have many other "tips & tricks" that will place you or your child on the track to success in science. Hello!

Teaching is a skill that I have mastered and I have been successful at finding a fun way of getting students to learn. I like to introduce activities that are practical to the subject so the student understands the concept and therefore have a better understanding of the topic being covered. I am available to help anyone who needs help in finding academic success. I am patient, considerate and will use all available resources to get the student empowered and confident in achieving success in the learning process. I am a trained Science Teacher specializing in Biology, Chemistry and Physics. I have over twelve years of High School teaching experience where I prepared students for external exams in Chemistry, Physics and Biology in my native country of Jamaica. The success rate was over 90%. I have tutored both adults (preparing for their GED and LPN exams in Math and English) and yo

I have several years experience working with children and adults in the education field. The students I have taught at the college level ranged from late teens to early 30s. As I have worked with such a wide range of ages I am familiar with the needs of students in each age group I have taught. I work with the student to understand the areas in which they are not as strong or confident and work with them to develop a method of studying and learning that works best for them. I believe that one of the most beneficial methods of learning material is to relate the material to something the student may be more familiar with or something with which they can relate. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from the State University of New York at SUNY New Paltz and I have matriculated into the Master of Arts in Biology program at the same university. As a result of my many resea

My teaching style is fueled by my personal enthusiasm for academics. For instance, my passion for math and science embodies how I approach the world. I think of life on a molecular level. In other words, where many get frustrated with complex theories as they become increasingly abstract, I can easily visualize the intangible and relay concepts in more graspable terms that most teachers and textbooks cannot provide. I bring humor and light-heartedness to abstract subject matter, thus making critical-thinking less critical and just thought. Having conversations about how science informs the world is an important part of my livelihood. Furthermore, rather than conversing with colleagues, sharing my knowledge with those who have difficulty understanding subjects where I excel, brings me such gratification. Knowing that I have helped someone else understand an aspect of the world even just a

I love teaching and I am very interested in helping children/young adults better their lives by achieving their goals academically. I consider myself to be very in-tune with the mindset of children and employ various tricks of the trade to engage them in learning. I am very proud of the students I teach and I strive to help them better their own lives. A very important aspect of my teaching style is to help the children help themselves. Anyone can give them the answers, but I consider giving them the skills to find answers when I'm not there helping them a more important goal. As a student in a professional college I am very focused on learning and I have gained many skills and useful tips for studying. As a mentor with a program that my college hosts, I teach inner city 3rd grade students about science and math and reading. The purpose of the program is to encourage them to stay in scho

My education consists of a Bachelors of Arts degree in chemistry, with a minor in biology and significant field experience in academic research in both fields. My inaugural teaching experience was as an HEOP tutor for introductory physics. I have been a freelance tutor for organic chemistry for over a year, and have tutored Regents chemistry as well, and have volunteered my services to fellow students for two and a half years. I prefer a “vertically integrated” teaching style. Science is a continuum, with complex topics being reducible to simple concepts. I will work with a student to break down difficult topics that are already problematic, and help them synthesize concepts into an integrated whole as new topics arise.

Through my teaching experience I have found it necessary to differentiate my teaching styles in order to be an effective teacher. Most often than not I have found that being a facilitator rather than a dictator is most beneficial to learning. I have learned that if students construct their own learning experiences they will not only retain information longer, but they will also become more confident in their abilities. I have been Involved in the teaching and tutoring of academic subjects for the past 6 years of my life. I have a true passion for instilling the same love for education that I possess in my students. I have worked in about 9 different educational, tutoring, or mentoring facilities both before and after I graduated with my biology teaching certificate. I have used these experiences to not only develop my teaching strategies but to truly understand what makes a

The best teaching style in my opinion, explains how to research, plan and write essays, gives students time to practice these skills in class, and ensures students get feedback on how well they have done on each sub-skill. Students learn skills by using them in a realistic, subject-specific context, and in a combined way. So they might use other skills taught before such as note taking, highlighting, all in context. The purpose of the skills are stressed, students are taught not just what to do and how, but also why. The students then reflect on how well they used the skills, what gains they were getting and so on, and then they action plan for improvement. As a graduate from the State University of New York at Albany, I am driven to achieve the highest level of excellence in education especially in the following generations. I have received a BA in Chemistry and Pre-Med. These degr

I have tutored at the college level for three years, mainly because I enjoy doing so. I take pride in helping others understand concepts and do better in school. I'm very easy going during tutoring sessions, and open to students asking questions until they understand the information. I take multiple approaches to explaining concepts if students don't understand them at first. I also have experience working with high school and middle school students, as I have volunteered at such schools, but from a recreational standpoint. Thus, I can relate well with students of all age levels. I recently graduated from Duke University with a bachelor’s degree in Chemistry and a minor in Biology. I excelled in all my courses during my four years there, and as a result I will be attending a very well ranked dental school in the fall. I have a very strong science background, and have taken many co

As a Siena College graduate I developed a very hands on approach to active learning. Through classroom lecture and instruction I've completed the necessary coursework to complete my BS of biology. Due to my strong work ethic I've gained knowledge and skills in the physical sciences, as well as in other subject areas. During my college years I subbed as teacher at a public K-12 school. During that time I taught a variety of grade levels, and worked as a one-on-one aide. I believe that in order to succeed in teaching and being an educator you must inspire those that you are teaching. A child who is excited to learn, will do much better. I feel a hands on approach is best, guiding the child to personal success.

I enjoy helping others achieve their goals. I am a very optimistic person and try to focus on peoples strengths. I am extremely patient and easy to get along with, and will do whatever it takes for my subject to have success. I have my own method for studying which I feel works, but may not work for everybody so I am willing to find out what works for an individual. I also feel that tutoring is a learning experience for both teacher and subject, and I look forward to the oppurtunity. I started my career at Fairfield University as a Biology student and quickly learned that it was an exciting and very challenging field. I have learned a plethera of study skills, and enjoy helping others. While in school I was a volunteer basketball coach which involved teaching.
