Life Science is one of my top subjects! Certified biology teacher with dual degrees in secondary education - biology and in animal science /. Pre-veterinary medicine. I have extensive background knowledge in a variety of biologically based classes such as genetics, anatomy & physiology, and ecology. I have also taught 9th grade biology and 7th & 8th grade general science.

I have studied, worked, and taught in the biological sciences for almost twenty years. I have taught 9th grade biology and 7th and 8th grade general science. I also have experience tutoring children in both group and individual settings. My areas of personal greatest interest is genetics and evolution.
I am a hands on type of teacher who uses inquiry to help students learn. My method is strongly based on the modeling style of teaching. To inquire more about modeling, you can ask me or go to the American Modeling Teachers Assoc. Website.

My comments on tutoring Life Science : My education includes two degrees in the life sciences. My first one was animal science / pre-veterinary medicine. The second was secondary education with an emphasis in biology. I teach biology and have had plenty of experience in many of the biologically based sciences like ecology, genetics, and anatomy and physiology.

I am a certified modeling teacher. Modeling is a "hands on" inquiry based style of teaching. I teach through allowing the students to deal with a given problem or scenario. I then use extensive amount of questioning to help the child to use their logic to solve the problem. This not only teaches the science material; but it also helps the student to learn how to think logically and to ask themselves the right questions. In other words, I don't just teach the material, I teach students how to think critically in a way that not only helps the student to learn the science, but also in other areas where critical thinking is needed to help understand and solve problems.

More About This Tutor...

I have a B.S. degree in Biology from Indiana University in Bloomington and I also have an M.B.A. I worked in the environmental field for 15 years prior. I bring in real live work experiences to the job. I taught 1 year at Providence Cristo Rey Highschool as a biology teacher. I taught grades 9/10. I attended Marion University under the Action Licensure Program and still working towards a license.
As a biology teacher, I work very hard to get the students attention and interest in learning new topics in biology. I utilize various teaching methods that encourages a differentiated learning. I understand that children all learn differently and have different ways of learning and retaining information. I am big on modeling and giving examples for the students to apply what is being taught. The environment in which the student learns is important and it's also important to give the stude ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have an MS in mathematics from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, a math-science-engineering college located in Terre Haute, IN. I have successfully tutored high school and college students from basic math through statistics. My high school students have improved their math qualifying exam scores substantially. Additionally, I have been an adjunct professor at Franklin University of Ohio, Ivy Tech, Harrison College and National College.
My teaching style is to involve the student at his or her level of knowledge and to encourage them to succeed on a personal and professional level. I encourage competence and confidence at all levels of math and science working with the student to remove any math or science-phobic areas that they may have. Student rating and comments included 1) “Great teacher and great outside resources”, 2) “He is a very knowledgeable person in this field ... read more
