Marine Biology Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Midland, VA

I am an evolutionary biologist and paleontologist who has been active in the field for over a decade. I have been a professor of college-level biology, paleontology, and anatomy for 8 years on top of 5 years assistant teaching geology courses during my graduate education. I have a broad, interdisciplinary background, which is a result of my broad curiosity about the scientific exploration of all aspects of the natural world. I have experience teaching classes as large as 400 students and as small as 4, though most of my experience has been in the 12-24 student range. I have had the opportunity to teach at several different types of schools, including Ivy League and small liberal arts colleges, where I have had a lot of exposure to pedagogical methods that encourage permanent understanding and maintain interest. I have taken the opportunity to participate in several teaching workshop

I think the best way to teach is to immerse myself in the same thinking process that the student must use to solve each specific problem. I am a biotech business owner who has worked in industry, academics and government. I have a lot of experience mentoring biology students form high school through graduate school. I am an adjunct professor of bioinformatics at George Washington University. My main areas of expertise is are computational and and molecular evolutionary biology.

I have been a mathematics and science tutor for the last ten years. As a former mathematics educator at the college level I feel that mathematics or any other science is possible to be learned and comprehended by the student through the use of real life examples. Moreover, in my time as a math and science tutor I always asked my students to devote patience and perseverance whenever they are starting to learn a new concept. I like teaching and tutoring students in mathematics and science. I always believe that science and mathematics require innovation and creativity to fully understand the concepts. Throughout my years of teaching and tutoring I have developed effective techniques to make an immediate in a student's learning.

I am well aware that most of my students will not pursue the hard sciences as a career in academia or industry but I believe that everyone has the ability to grasp scientific concepts that will be relevant in their chosen fields. For this reason I approach every course I teach as an opportunity to help students demystify the myth that science is difficult. I believe that leaning is a dual effort between teachers and students and hold all my students to a high standard, academically and ethically. I hope that at the end of any science course that I teach, students would have gathered some confidence in their ability grasp scientific concepts and to analyze information. I currently work as a scientist in the biotechnology industry, and have been teaching as my schedule allows. I have taught Genetics, General Biology, Biochemistry and Ecology and Evolution. I have a Master of Science

I have been teaching Anatomy and Physiology at Washington Adventist University, Takoma Park, MD for the past year after graduating with a masters degree from Andrews University, MI. I have a bachelors degree in Biology with a minor in mathematics. I have been teaching and tutoring since my freshman year in college. My strength is science/math which is also my passion. Even though I've taught college students all my life, I actually love working with children as well. I am a very patient person, and I am also compassionate and easy to get along with. I believe as a teacher I am responsible to train my students in their fields to make them competitive and knowledgeable. I do not give up when I have difficult students, I try to learn their behavior instead and work with them. The world needs good educators to make a difference in the life of the student and others around.

I began tutoring when I was an undergraduate at the Univ. of Maryland, College Park. I joined an outreach club called Beyond these Walls and through this I was a volunteer ESL tutor in Langley Park, MD. I tutored primarily Spanish-speaking adults in English grammar and conversation. This was a very important experience that helped me to learn how to work with students in an efficient and respectible manner. It was also rewarding to serve my community simultaneously. After receiving a B.S. in Biological Sciences, I tutored an undergraduate student in organic chemistry. She, too, is a Biology Major and she struggles in the same areas that I once had difficulty in and now have better mastered those areas. I helped her to learn the material, showed her how to study more efficiently, and I also quizzed her to make sure she could apply the information. My teaching style is modified for each

Having been in school for 6 years post high school has taught me a lot about the educational system and the means to success. A proper education is very crucial in order to prevent a student from being misinformed and misguided. To prevent that, I help my students to be self-motivated and more aware of local and global events through newspapers. I believe everyone is different based on their backgrounds, therefore, they must be taught HOW to learn effectively. This is where I come in. I can identify what a student’s weakness is and allow them to learn SUCCESSFULLY! Having a B.S. in Microbiology from University of Maryland and having completed 2 years of medical school gives me a strong background in the sciences. For the past 7 years I worked for Certified Learning Center and had great experiences tutoring students of different backgrounds. Although science is my specialty, I have
