A Little Bit About Me...

Because science is a "hands-on" subject, I feel it is extremely important to use demonstrations, examples that are relevant to every-day life, experiments and anything else that will help students understand the world around them. I have been told that I have an "out-of-the-box" approach to learning, but have found it to be successful with the majority of students. Classroom discussions are utilized more often then lectures, because when a student plays an active role in their education, they learn more.
Over the past 12 years, I have worked in both the private and public sectors of the education community. I have taught grades 7-12 in all areas of science. I have also been the director of a learning center, where I started as a tutor. The years of experience have taught me a great deal about children of all ages and abilities. With each new year, I learn something new about ... read more

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.
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.

I have four years teaching experience in all levels of education. I have been involved helping students improve their learning skills. Students need a teacher that can break complex problems to simple forms for better understanding, and this is my role. I have experience in math and science.
I understand that students learn at different speed, but this speed can be improved with time and constant practice. Everybody have the ability to learn if given the opportunity, and this is what I am always willing to do. I enjoy teaching because I know I can bring out the best in my students

A Little Bit About Me...

My first teaching experience was as a high school senior where I was given the opportunity to teach a small group of 5th graders as part of the Missouri A+ program. We began with division, quickly moving into linear and nonlinear algebra, before touching on the fundamentals of complex numbers, graph theory and trigonometry, before concluding with a derivation of the quadratic formula and its applications. I spent three semesters as the academic chair for my fraternity enforcing study hours for fraternity brothers with lower GPA’s; tutoring students in algebra, calculus, physics, and computer science, among other fields. I have also had five years of experience in Latin up to the college level with one year of Japanese.
I believe that every student can meet his or her potential provided that the subject matter is presented in a way that makes sense to them and that any material c ... read more

Patient, hardworking, dedicated. I believe in perseverence, there is no such thing as the students can't learn. All that is required is to understand what the needs of the student are and what his/her level of comprehension is. I use lecturing and audio/visual aids if necessary.
I have a BS in Biology and chemistry, MS in Biology and PhD in Biology. I have a certification of excellence in university teaching skills. Also, I have a great teaching experience in biology in all fields of cell and molecular regulation and aslo ecology, evolution and systematics, including Anatomy and Physiology.
