Marine Biology Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Lehigh Valley, PA

My approach to tutoring is to first make the student feel comfortable and to realize that they are not "stupid" or inferior because they need help. Then I find out specifically where they are having difficulties and concentrate on that area. If they still are having difficulties in that area, I will move on to the next topic so that they don't get frustrated. Once they have obtained some level of confidence, I will revisit the area where they were having difficulties. I believe in positive feedback, so I will motivate my students through encouraging words and praise, without being patronizing. I earned my MA degree in Biology from Villanova University in December 1997. For the next two years I earned my living by tutoring students in biology and math as a side business until I landed a research position at Princeton University in 1999. Since then I have been doing laboratory resea

Through my teaching experience so far, I I believe that education is the key to success for young students. As a teacher I hope to motivate students in ascertaining their inner strengths and abilities and discovering what truly inspires them. During my graduate study I tutored undergraduate students for lab work in introductory courses and helped them to solve class assignments and presented research work through thesis defense, poster presentation and projects. I love working with children. I encouraged learning by using a number of intelligent, hands-on activities and various forms of technology. By incorporating class-discussions, open-ended questions and cooperative learning I was able to facilitate a highly interactive and inquisitive class atmosphere. In addition I utilized weekly quizzes and monthly tests to track student progress and provide them constructive feedback. Also, havi

After 18 years in the pharmaceutical and medical fields I have set my sights to earning my teaching certification. I am a father of three, a Volunteer Fire Fighter and self described science buff. I am looking to tutor to help students to fine their love of science and also to help them build the study skills that will help to make school easier and improve grades. I use a very interactive teaching style which encourages students to think out a problem and to understand it in a way that makes most sense to them. I use analogies to make more complex concepts more accessible to the student, and as a way to help them to learn and understand the concepts.

As a current undergraduate chemistry and honors student at Arcadia University, I was recommended to become a tutor from several of my teachers my first year in college. I became a certified CRLA tutor and started tutoring my sophomore year of college; I've been tutoring ever since. I tutor chemistry, biology, math (beginner algebra, statistics, calculus I and II), and calculus based physics. I love working with students and teaching them something new. The best feeling is when someone understands a concept that they didn't before; when something "clicks" for a student, I feel as if my job as a tutor was done. I'm a very determined, persistent, caring, and patient person; all of these characteristics have helped me become a great tutor.
