A Little Bit About Me...

I have a BA in Psychology, MS in Zoology and BS in Computer Science. I have lifetime Arizona Community College certification in psychology, biology, ecology and remedial math. My experience with special populations includes: three years full-time on the Navajo Reservation; three years part-time at the SALT Center at the University of Arizona working with learning disabled students; and a hands-on nature camp for deaf middle-schoolers. My favorite experience has been the opportunity to design the curriculum, code the programs, and teach the student counselors for the U of A's Computer Science week-long summer enrichment program for teens.
My forte is science and math, which are often students' least favorite subjects, due to earlier difficulty. A solid basic understanding of these subjects is critical to being an independent, engaged adult; and it's just plain cool to understand ... read more

I have performed tutorial sessions on arithmetic subjects like algebra, geometry, and calculus. Also, I am familiar with the physical and life sciences like general biology, microbiology, genetics, general chemistry, organic chemistry and biochemistry. I make tutoring fun and "doable" even for the hardest of classes, according to my students. I have tutored several students who have struggled through anxiety regarding the harder subjects of the math and sciences but successfully received the grade they set as goals in the end. I firmly believe that a good tutorial happens when the student is able to perform efficiently on his own without any further guidance.
I have always been interested in helping students like me who struggle in the math and science courses. As such, I have started tutoring during my high school days and armed with several years of experience, I intend to help m ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have earned a bachelor's degree from one of the most well regarded institutions in the world and I have a solid math and science background. For two summers while an undergrad, I taught an engineering course to high school juniors participating in the YESS (Young Engineers and Science Scholars) program. I also tutored a junior high school boy for two years in all subjects. I've tutored classmates throughout high school in all subjects. And since July 2006, I have been teaching a GMAT test prep course through Kaplan.
I really like to tailor my style to each student. I also believe that when it comes to math, students often need as much help getting over their fear of math as they do with the actual concepts. I have had good experience designing science experiments and hands-on projects to help demonstrate science concepts and bring these concepts to life. I was fortunate enough ... read more

I'm a very enthusiastic teacher. I believe that a student can only learn what they're interested in learning. For this reason, I find that getting the student to be interested in the subject at hand is crucial. Lessons should be fun and engaging. There are different approaches and applications on any given subject and finding the right one for each student allows for personal tailoring of a lesson. Engaging the student in interactive activities allows the student and the teacher to continuously assess their progress. When a student is able to practice the material immediately and is given their instructor's reassurance it allows the student to walk away with confidence and the desire to build on what they've learned.
I'm a very passionate chemist who has experienced various real-world applications of chemistry hands on. My diverse experience on the subject would enable me to ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a graduate student at the University of Chicago, I was responsible for leading introductory core Biology labs, which covered an array of concepts in biology, statistics, computer usage, and experimental design. Because lab reports were frequent requirements, I also was able to improve skills as a writing tutor I had already developed as a writing tutor (paid student position) in the Writing Lab at Towson University. I also have taught a remedial study- and life-skills course for students on Academic Probation at the University of Arizona. Finally, in my capacity as Academic Advising Coordinator at the University of Arizona, I interacted in a one-on-one capacity with students to develop their intellectual, academic, and career interests.
An understanding of the student and his/her background, strengths and weaknesses, and motivation is key to successful learning. This student-cen ... read more

After many years as a Wyoming rancher and three years as an ESL volunteer, I returned to school to become an ESL professional. With my Master of Education degree in hand, I taught a year of ESL classes at Cochise College, then became the Adult ESL Coordinator for Northwest College in Powell, Wyoming. My career path led other directions for several years, then I had the opportunity to return to education as a secondary science teacher in two charter schools. My years as educator have been the most interesting and compelling of my career, and now semi-retired, I'd like to continue part-time.
Every student can learn with motivation. Most of my classes were self-paced, and I had great success in motivating students of all types. My most recent position was teaching science to at-risk high school students who averaged 4th grade levels in reading and math. Every participating student ear ... read more

I find that the most rewarding aspect of teaching is the time spent interacting and engaging with the students. I want to learn what areas were most challenging to the students and then focus on those areas, utilizing different teaching tools to meet each student's need and most comfortable style of learning. I also believe in continued development of their strengths with constant refreshment of what they understood. I will foster an environment in which the student(s) feel comfortable asking questions. I am eager to provide a great opportunity for students to set goals and work to achieve them.
I am a junior at St. Mary’s University in San Antonio Texas, but return home to Tucson, AZ for the summers. I am working towards my Bachelor of Science in Biology and I am currently applying to medical school. Through my strong academics and excellent organization skills, I was chosen to t ... read more

I have had experience teaching that is inquiry-based but have also taught in a more factual style with lecture. I believe that each student has a different style of learning, and I am more than willing to adapt to the child. It is crucial for students to understand all the fundamentals of education, so that higher levels (college) of education will be obtained. I always make sure the student understands the material every step of the way so that they will not fall behind. I also believe that the student must take what they learn and apply it. I also believe that by excelling in certain areas of school and improving, this will give a higher confidence to the students that will be apparent in all areas of school.
I graduated with a BS in Biology and a minor in Chemistry. During my college experience at the University of Arizona, I have participated in two programs that allowed me to ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

From USDA-ARS July 2006 to September 2008, at the United States Department of Agriculture, Agriculture Research Service, I performed research on crop pollination that led to several peer-reviewed publications and US patent pending for integrated pest management. One of the manuscripts has been among the top ten most cited publications for 2010 among the American Chemical Society publications. Manuscripts are available upon request. I have much more experience and the information is available upon request.
During the Spring of 2010, I taught Freshman chemistry at Pima Community College. I held after class work sessions at a volunteer basis that was at a time convenient to the majority of the class. I taught Organic Chemistry (Chem 236) at Pima CC. I had students go to the blackboard and work out and illustrate selected problems, as a review after tests. Other tea ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Having graduated from the University of Arizona with a BS in Microbiology and minors in chemistry and Spanish has enabled me to expand my knowledge in areas such as science in particular biology and math. Being bilingual permits me to help those students who currently have difficulties mastering the English language. During my undergraduate career at the UofA, I was a tutor for genetics. I received upper-division credit for it. My tutoring experience lasted the whole Spring semester. In addition to offering office (tutoring) hours, I had the responsibility to oversee one laboratory section as part of the class's curriculum. The lab session was once a week for 3 hours. I also tutored Pueblo High School students in algebra as a volunteer.
When it comes to helping other students I like to bring to the table a constructive and collaborative approach to solve the problem. In implementin ... read more
