Genetics Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Mattapoisett, MA

Having over a decade of teaching and tutoring experience, I have worked in both the public and private sector. I have taught science and math for grades 8 - 12 and have tutored students ages 10 and up. In addition, I ran the library late night / homework help center program at a local high school. In my last position, I specialized in working with students having learning and or emotional difficulties including anxiety, depressions, ADHD, and autism.

I am a full-time high school teacher with over 12 years of experience in education. I specialize in Science, but have experience teaching and tutoring most levels and subjects. Throughout my 12 years in public education I have developed many skills to accommodate various student needs. I have a love for learning and inspiring my students to be life-long learners by making content meaningful. Teaching and learning is successful when students not only "know content" but are able to create connections and demonstrate real-world applications. I foster development of the whole student by encouraging critical thinking. My methods are adjusted to meet the students needs with an individualized approach. My goal is to promote self learning and help students develop necessary critical thinking skills.

My teaching philosophy and primary goal is to first understand and appreciate each child for their unique abilities, strengths and weaknesses, then to channel those abilities toward a better appreciation of the practical value of science and math knowledge. Learning comes easiest when students find benefits to knowledge. Each assignment represents a short term goals, building a student’s confidence with each successful completion. I find by encouraging students to avoid distractions, focus and manage their time effectively, it is much easier to make significant progress on difficult teaching concepts and retain knowledge . I can offer a student a broad educational perspective with a Ph.D. in the medical sciences and 18 years experience in the Biotech industry. My teaching experience began on the faculty at the UMass Medical School (1993-1999), where I tutored high school, undergradu

I have a lot of patience which allows me to take my time when going over a concept to a student. I never feel the need to rush or come back to a topic later. I will cover it thoroughly. As an undergraduate student I double majored in Biology and philosophy. Biology has provided me with a strong understanding in chemistry, biochemistry, ecology, evolution, and physics. Along with that, my philosophy degree has provided me with the ability to clearly communicate my ideas to another person.

I enjoy working with students and helping them learn what can sometimes be difficult concepts in the scientific disciplines. I believe that all students have the ability to understand these concepts if they are presented in ways that they find interesting. I like to use multiple techniques when teaching, including the use of computer programs such as PowerPoint to show diagrams, pictures, graphs and short videos to illustrate the key points and concepts involved in a lesson. I like to challenge the students with questions and exercises that focus on these key points. I believe that a good educator will be able to motivate students by making the lessons interesting and by relating the lesson to real life experiences. After graduating from Rhode Island College in 1976 with a B.A. in Secondary Education and major in Biology, I took a teaching job at Bishop Feehan High School in Attlebor

I graduated with a BA from Rhode Island College in 2005, and went back to work on a MA the following fall. I am currently finishing up my degree and should be finished with my MA this spring. During my graduate career I had an assistantship where I helped set up classroom laboratories, aided in teaching then and also tutored students in Biology. I consider it to be a rewarding experience, not only because I helped students learn but it also helped refresh and learn new information. I enjoy helping other people learn, and I get a sense of satisfaction when they grasp new information. I have tutored students needing help with homework assignments or studying for an exam. I requested that they bring their notes and textbook so that I use them as a reference when teaching. I can either answer specific questions or walk through the material. I ask the student questions about the material to m

I am currently studying to become a High School Biology Teacher and will be taking the Mass. Test for Education License in May 2011. In 2009 I joined AmeriCorps and worked for the Mountain Studies Institute in Durango Colorado. While I was there, I held educational workshops, presentations and forums. While in school I helped my classmates in two separate ways. One as a part-time peer tutor, the second as the co-president of the Reef Check Volunteer Club. As such I again got to train members to look for specific indicator species of biological importance. I also worked at a museum of natural science in Granville NY. While here I lead nature hikes and designed activities for elementary school classes and day camps. I've have always enjoyed working with children of all ages, and find that each child is unique. Each one learns in their own way, and one of my greatest strengths is being a

Having lived in three countries with different languages and cultures, my teaching style is now that of a mentor who explains the concept so that it could be understood in its context and also used in global thinking. I hold a PhD in Cell and molecular biology and I am a former Research assistant Professor of biology at Boston University where I carried a productive post-doctoral training in cancer biology, anticancer drug pharmacology and virology. I have been involved in cancer research for more than 10 years, during which, I authored several high impact papers including invited reviews, served as reviewer for international journals and grants, received grant support for my research, and was invited to international conferences. I was able to establish strong collaborative efforts, to publish and secure funding for my ideas and direct independent research. I trained many PhD students a

I am a graduate of a top small liberal arts research university, where I had the benefit of learning from professors in an academic and laboratory setting in the fields of biology, chemistry, physics, and computer science. While earning a bachelor degree, I worked as a chemistry tutor and a teacher's apprentice for a biology course. I believe that learning is what the brain does best, one simply needs an appropriate, enriching environment for learning. The most important thing a tutor can provide is a confident understanding of the material, along with a belief that it is intellectually accessible to everyone. Difficulties often lie in an ease of discouragement, not incompetence.
