Earth Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in New Orleans, LA

Tutored all levels of College Biology in college. Classes tutored include: Wildlife and Fisheries, Wetlands Biology, Marine Biology, Ecology, Environmental Science, Invertebrate Zoology, Vertebrate Natural History, Biology 101, Biology 102, and Limnology. I have also taken each of these classes, and maintained a 3.8 grade point average in my major. With each of these courses comes both lecture time and lab time, and I am proficient in both areas. I also excelled in field courses, and was hired by the North Carolina Coastal reserve for the Spring of three consecutive years for research. In my opinion, lecturing is the least creative style of teaching. I like to intertwine learning with imagination. It has been my experience that if you combine a subject with something that inspires the student, it creates an interest in the subject matter and helps the student retain more information.

After spending 30 years in the business world I decided to take my sales, sales management and adult training skill to the classroom. I am a licensed K-5 teacher with an A License in the state of Louisiana. I ave raised the test cores at the school where I teach almost 50% in two years. I have participated in LSU's Math and Sciece Project for the last two years and am high qualified to lead students into the new world of Common CorevState Standards.

I am a completely dedicated person, who is focused on strengthening my life skills and my knowledge base to continue to grow as a stronger and more well-rounded person. My background in psychology, public health, and social work have heightened my sensitivity to all ranges of people and cultures, and the needs they possess. My passion for learning has led me to develop a passion for passing along this knowledge. I have traveled throughout Latin America, which has strengthened my ability to speak Spanish. I have taken all types and levels of courses, and have helped other students throughout the learning process. I have carried out and written a research project which was then published, and it involved the use of statistical procedures. I believe that anyone is capable of learning anything. I believe that it is up to the teacher to make the subject at hand interesting, and relate it to t

I take great pride in being a part of this program and the opportunity it brings, and feel my strengths and talents can be well utilized in this stimulating career. I have had the opportunity to tutor college peers in various subjects in Math and Science which resulted in 15% increase in academic performance and scores. Having had a well-rounded academic background and having tutored elementary, middle school, and college level math and science, I feel confident that I am prepared to tutor students at any grade level or skill. I would enjoy the opportunity to be able to instill in your students a love of learning, as well as teach them to be responsible and involved citizens of the community while providing them an opportunity to change their lives in a fundamental and powerful way. I wholeheartedly believe that tomorrow’s leaders are shaped by teachers today. I am a determined, enthu

I think the most useful tutor emphasizes critical thinking. I have noticed that many students focus on memorization instead of really understanding the processes behind science, math, and foreign languages. I try to focus on how and why things are, rather than just the fact that they are. I believe that this approach provides students with a deep understanding of the material and an ability to problem-solve on their own. They can then develop better comprehension, and tend to be more interested in learning. I graduated with my undergraduate degree in marine biology in 2002 and then worked as a research biologist for two and a half years before returning to school to pursue my master’s degree. I believe that my hands-on scientific experiences combined with my academic background allow me to convey difficult concepts to students. As a researcher and as a student, I have had to put together

I enjoy sharing my knowledge of biology with others. I am patient and laid back with students, but I also know when to push them to work harder to achieve their goals. Each child requires a different level of motivation and after a few sessions I will be able to assess each students individual needs. I have earned two degrees: a B.S. in Biology and an M.S. in Biology. I have taken a wide range of courses in biology and have a great deal of knowledge about them all. One of my courses required me to teach in a lab. Through this I was able to gain valuable teaching experience and interact with students as well.

I am flexible in my style because each child is unique. It is important to address the needs of all groups. I incorporate a variety of strategies so that all are involved and challenged to learn. Like a doctor, I prescribe a learning path and adjust the strategies as needed for individual students' needs. I began working in Tangipahoa Parish February of 1983. I tutored in the Migrant program When our school moved I moved to a 6th Grade class where I taught self-contained, team taught, etc. When we moved, once again, to a new school I with Mrs. Deborah Ellzey as a team-teacher. I taught Math, Science, and Social Studies. I have continued to teach with varying class situations in 4th, 5th, and 6th grade subjects and am currently teaching 5th Grade Math Enrichment. I have attended professional development to include Learning Styles, Technology courses, and Mentor/Assessment Te

I have a BS in Environmental Science with a Chemistry minor. I also have a MS in Environmental/Soil Science. As a NASA scholar and Research Assistant, I taught undergraduate students Soil Science Lab Classes. I have tutored Elementary level reading and writing as a volunteer. I have also tutored Middle School level Math to several students. I am a substitute teacher in Louisiana and I am currently working on my teacher certification. Because I am a very patient and detail oriented person, I feel it is best to adapt my teaching style to the student's learning style. I would first make that evaluation to determine how best to approach teaching the student. I enjoy using hands-on examples and Powerpoint presentations in teaching. I feel that one-on-one interaction will always help a child gain knowledge of a subject.
