Elementary School Earth Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Maryland Heights, MO

I do have a high interest in geology and can assist up to college level students enrolled in introductory courses in earth science, geology, etc. I have taught for many decades and use a variety of teaching styles since all students learn differently. I am more of a 'traditional' style teacher, realizing that the basics are vital. I am a visual learner myself, but realize that my students may not. I always teach so that all students learn..using visual,hands on, and auditory presentation of material. I am extremely thorough and endeavor to be sure my students have mastered a concept before moving on to more complex topics. I ALWAYS make what I am teaching relevant to the students...showing them how they will use what we are learning in a real life situation. This not only makes it more interesting, but the students enjoy seeing real life situations in which they can use some of the

I can teach elementary to middle school earth science. I believe in humor, fun, clear organization, and associated evaluation. I believe in preparing the student for life-long learning because learning is a pleasure, not a chore. An experienced teacher K-12, teaching reading, vocabulary, grammar, study skills, comprehension, math and science at one of St.Louis' local districts who moved on to teach at St. Louis Community College yet remains devoted to personal learning and learning projects. One of those recent learning project was incorporation of technology and personal computers in the classroom.

I am a listener first and foremost. I want to know what my students expect from me and in what areas s/he regard as most essential to her/his success. I believe all people can learn and understand. It is a pleasure to watch students grow in skill and comprehension and move toward confidence. I love teaching. I earned my BA before I was old enough to vote. While my classmates were in his/her senior year, I was teaching. Eventually I earned my M.Ed. in Reading, then started School Administration and Adult Education. In all these fields I find similar necessary skills: patience, co-operation among staff and colleagues, knowledge of subject matter, communication with the community and parents and a well defined curriculum. Moreover, I am a published author and a former writer with St. Louis Globe Democrat - Suburban Journals. As a favor to my students, I often evaluate papers for submission

As a supplemental Instructor/tutor at UMSL Department of Biology, I facilitate the learning process by explaining concepts and encouraging open communication with students. In addition, I conduct weekly review sessions to integrate how-to-learn with what-to-learn. I grade exams and laboratory reports. Since students learn in many ways—by seeing and hearing; reflecting and acting; reasoning logically and intuitively; memorizing and visualizing,I provide various guidelines for how I want tasks completed in this course based upon student pool. Students might describe me as a knowledgeable coach who dispenses the fact, principles, and concepts they need and works closely with someone to correct problems in how they think and behave. I give students a lot of personal support and encouragement to do well in their course.

I have just graduated from the University of Tulsa with B.S. in Physics and a B.A. in Music. This dual-degree program has given me a strong background in math and the sciences as well as liberal arts and especially writing, which was required in both fields. I have tutored most subjects at the middle and high school levels, and physics and music theory at the college level. I have also graded homework for college-level physics. I am skilled at presenting concepts clearly, and my tutoring and grading experiences have helped me to identify problem areas and understand students’ difficulties. I have also studied several languages and have strong grammatical skills. I fit my teaching style to the student's learning style. I try to follow the model of my physics advisor, who has an excellent ability to figure out how a student learns best, then adapt his teaching and explanations accord

Working at the Nashville Transition Center, essentially a half-way house for children aged 12-18 with criminal and/or troubled backgrounds, my senior year of college changed my outlook on tutoring tremendously because it opened my eyes to the challenges many face. Having been born with Muscular Dystrophy, I'm certainly no stranger to challenges, however I had never seen individuals who were never really given a fair shot to succeed in my eyes. Once I realized that I could be the one to help these children reach their goals, it immediately changed my perception. I've always been very easy-going and empathetic and I feel that these are my two greatest strengths as a tutor. Using these strengths along with my sense of humor I attempt to form a connection with my students. It’s only through a genuine connection between student and tutor that one can get students to believe in themselves

I enjoy helping others to succeed. I believe in taking a personal interest in students success; reviewing each quiz and test taken to see where strengths lie and where improvements needed to be made. I also believe that people have different means of learning, from reading and lecturing; to seeing and gaining hands on experience. I also believe that no student is beyond help; they simply have not yet found thier means of gaining and retaining the knowledge. While attending Southwestern Illinois College, I volunteered as a tutor, instructing college level Algebra, Geometry, and Calculus. Also gave instruction in Biology and Chemistry. While pursuing my degree in electrical engineering, I expanded my knowledge in Math and Science. I also gained insight from a student prospective.

Every student can be a successful student. While Academic success may come easier to some, I believe the key is to communicate to each student in a way that promotes their own understanding. This is why I enjoy tutoring. I especially enjoy tutoring writing, art, and literature because I believe these subjects open up a whole new realm of problem-solving, creativity, and abstract thought. Every student deserves a chance to succeed. If they are given that chance and they provide the right amount of effort, they will. I have a history of Academic success in multiple disciplines. My Major was an individualized major through the Honors College at Central Missouri State University (now University of Central Missouri). I studied literature, writing, grammer, editing, sculpture, painting, drawing, printmaking, ceramics, and history. I was an assitant editor for Pleiades, A Journal of New

Learning should be fun. I strive to make a point of this when ever I teach. I do this in both lectures and tests. I find a little humor takes the edge off test taking and allows the student to concentrate on the subject matter without being nervous. I have taught Accounting courses at a JC and Business College in the St. louis area. I also taught Accounting and Finance courses at a Business College in Raleigh, NC. I enjoyed the experience and look forward to continuing.

My philosophical foundation of teaching reflects on my own learning experiences during my undergraduate and graduate coursework. During much of those higher learning opportunities, my professors utilized a very respectful perspective towards all students, and this background of having role models has instilled in me the importance of meeting the learner at their current level of needing assistance in order to find academic success. Therefore, my philosophy is grounded in the principle that an instructor's job is not only to teach but also to guide, to provide a type of role modeling that implements kindness, compassion, and respect towards all learners. As an ambitious doctoral candidate and highly motivated life-long learner, I am currently focused on academia and all that it entails. For example, I have earned a bachelor degree in psychology and a certificate in trauma studies. In addi

Patient but result driven. I try to adapt by teaching style to the needs and personality of the student. Some children are more responsive to games and visuals while others are able to read and digest the information with just a little assistance. I spend the first session getting to know the child and discussing their likes and dislikes about school. I also review the area(s) that they are experiencing difficult and solicit a response from them about why they feel they are having problems in those areas. I take the feedback from the session and devise a teaching strategy that best suits the child's learning style and personality. I have over 10 years of Elementary Education Experience, working as a long-term Substitute Teacher,a Parent Educator, Community Recruiter, Grant Writer, and Tutor. I love helping children explore and develop their potential through learning. My speciality
