Being a Biology major at Canisius College with minors in both Animal Behavior and Music, I have experience in all areas of biology, as well as in general and organic chemistry. I have also been a participant in an ongoing research project at Canisius, focused on animal behavior. Previous classes include cell biology, human and plant biology, organic chemistry I & II, medical biochemistry, microbiology, ornithology, physics I & II, vertebrate zoology, field ecology, and primatology. I have tutored previously at the high school I graduated from, and enjoy helping others, exemplified through my outgoing and friendly personality.

I love helping others to learn science. I believe in the inquiry based learning model where students ask questions and therefore play an active role in the learning process. By allowing students to recognize the difference between what they know and what they don’t know, then giving them the confidence to ask questions, they take ownership of their own education. In the long run, they retain the information longer and learning becomes a rewarding experience. While in college, I set high standards for myself. I was not satisfied with less than the best grade I could get in any class. This drive helped me to graduate summa cum laude with a qualified grade point average of 3.95. As a student, I worked as both a biology and chemistry tutor. Upon graduation with a BA in Biology, I went on to graduate school. After which, I worked in research laboratories for many years. In addition, I h

I have been a teacher and tutor for over 15 years, specifically in private schools. The first student I tutored (as an elementary student) has graduated from dental school and has his own practice! My background in science and math, as well as human psychology, enables me not only to teach the curriculum, but also to understand those academic areas which are common roadblocks to many students. I am motivated to bring knowledge, model tenacity and give hope to my students. It is a thrill to help a student who is struggling with a subject and see him/her become comfortable and begin to enjoy the academic journey. I have tutored students both with and without learning disabilities. In my 15 years as a teacher in elementary and high school, and as a tutor, I have covered math through algebra and geometry,biology, geography/history, chemistry and physics. I am capable of tutoring college

My teaching style is the product of my personal experience as a student, teacher and parent. I am very dynamic and engaging in communicating with my students. I present the material in a conversation format rather than a speech and intersperse humor within to retain the attention of my students. I like to give real life examples to introduce concepts to make them relevant for my students. I give them problem sets that start with simple questions but develop in complexity farther along the problem set. Most of the time, I find that most of the concepts in chemistry can be explained very clearly and precisely by telling the students the context and process of its discovery so they can easily comprehend and appreciate the discovery. I have earned a Masters and a Ph. D. in Chemistry which have enabled me to gain a deep understanding of chemistry. One of my passions is to pass on this knowled

I am a firm believer in everyone having their own learning style. I had to figure this myself doing assessments of students during the years of tutoring, as well as being a student. I believe I am able to assess the need of the child, figure out their learning style, and apply it to them in a way that will have an effective outcome for the student for the present, as well as the future. I can equip your child with appropriate study skills that include time management,effective strategies and tips for the child to be reach their fullest academic potential. I believe I can make a positive influence in your child's life. I am a recent graduate of a University in LA. During my tenure at Southern University, I decided to persue a degree in science. I fell in love with microbiology, so I persued a concentration in that field which necessitated me to be a master in all areas pertaining to

I found a lot of satisfaction in tutoring in college and felt that I was an effective teacher. My students did well in courses that they had been struggling to pass. I use a step-by-step approach starting with what the student knows and connect to everyday life experiences. This approach works particularly well in subjects like physics or chemistry. While a good test score is the goal, I may teach fundamentals so the student understands the subject. This facilitates learning and memorization. I graduated cum laude from D'Youville College with a BS degree in biology and a minor in chemistry. At D’Youville in 2001-2003 I tutored advanced sciences. The most complex course was Gross Anatomy in which I worked with students on both coursework and laboratory dissection. I also tutored physics and biological chemistry, my area of particular interest. I have approximately four years of

Tutoring provides a great opportunity for one on one learning while using different teaching strategies. During that time, I can find out student strengths and weaknesses and tailor lessons based on this. I feel that a one on one environment allows a student to feel more comfortable in asking questions and expressing what he or she is having difficulties with. This can be challenging, sometimes, in the classroom setting. I have a very diverse educational and work-place resume. This includes both undergraduate and graduate courses in the chemical and biological sciences, as well as education courses. My work experience also includes teaching at the high school level and extensive laboratory work in both the chemical and life sciences. This has allowed me to apply my laboratory experience to the classroom and tutoring students. I have tutored high school students in Regents and AP che

I have enjoyed teaching people from 10 to 60+ years of age for the past 40 years.I pride myself as being patient and considerate. I attempt to present the subject material in a real world context so that the student is more likely to find significance in the subject. I treat all students as individuals with unique needs and abilities. My goal is to make them want to learn. I have taught Rudimental Percussion performance to individuals, high school bands and drum and bugle corps since 1969. I and my groups hold many state, one national and two World Championships. I graduated with a BS Chem. as the American Chemical Societies Senior of the year, with honors, from N.U.I subsequently worked for 15 years in Environmental Chemistry and for ten years in Industrial Analytical Chemistry where I developed several unique analytical methods that are currently in wide use.Although I have little e

My source of income all throughout college has been through tutoring either at the college level or at the elementary and high school level. I am currently working on my Master's in Adolescence Education degree which I should complete in December 2008. I am student teaching as well as tutoring at a local community center in Buffalo. My student teaching experiences were in Regents Chemistry at a Buffalo Public School and 7th grade science. My background in Biochemistry has allowed me to witness where an education in science could lead to many opportunities in the job market. During my undergrad I was taught how to tutor students at the Tutoring Lab where I worked. Teaching students how to think critically is the key to success in any subject area. I found that asking students questions in a systematic way helps build a habit that allows them to approach any situation and come out su

I have a very strong passion for learning and teaching various topics within Biology, such as studying genetics, microbiology, immunology, biochemistry, basic chemistry and basic math. I obtained a B.S. in Biology, cum laude at Allegheny College and will have the M.A. in Biochemistry from SUNY at Buffalo on 06/01/11. Because I have this strong passion I like to share it in hopes whoever I can teach can also appreciate it. In college, I was a reading tutor for kids from K-5 grades. As it was primarily for reading. Also within college, I found myself helping my friends understand the material. In college, I tutored kids K-5 on primarily their reading skills. However, I also asked them if they needed any help with any other subject and what material was covered. From this I would put together study outlines from their notes and textbook. This allowed me to know ahead of time what sh
