Love to share my passion for All things science

I have worked in the aquarium industry for 19years. I have indepth knowledge, practical skills related to the marine science field. I grew up in a VA suburb of Washington, DC and spent my summers and holidays from college as a page, intern, and tour guide in the US Capitol. I have a passion for learning that I would love to share with students in need. My most recent job as Associate Curator at the Georgia Aquarium required that I have indepth knowledge of a wide variety of marine and freshwater habitats, ecology, fish ID, water chemistry, and management of a team of biologist.
I think science is fun and exciting. I like to teach with a hands on approach.

I have worked with companies whose major focus was to increase math and science scores. I have found visual aids are an effective way to teach math and other subjects. Because my educational background is mathematically and science based, most of my tutoring experiences are in the subjects of math and science. However, I do have experience tutoring students in all subjects. In addition to this, I have over 2 years of experience in teaching GED level classes. I have worked with adults of all ages and have helped students obtain their GED. My experience as an instructor was with Wiregrass Technical College (formerly Valdosta Technical College). During my tenure I was able to help 5 of 12 students obtain their GED and/or pass 3 out of 5 subject areas. I provided group and individual tutoring and found both instruction methods rewarding.
I have previously worked for an in-home tutori ... read more

My comments on tutoring Life Science : With my Ph.D. in biology (including evolution,historical geology, genetics, and physiology), I am equipped to relate the basics of life science to students, along with an introduction to the logic and methods of science as a whole.

As a teacher and tutor, I focus on developing conceptual knowledge (rather than memorization), and structured study methods, problem-solving techniques, and test-taking skills,including post-test analyses of mistakes as a learning tool. I encourage the student to develop skills appropriate not only to the discipline, but to his or her own personal learning style. I like to use on-line interactive tutorials, especially with students who are highly visual or hands-on learners. At the same time, as a tutor,I like to interact with the student's instructor (and, where appropriate, the parents) to best serve his or her needs.
I have taught at three universities (The University of Michigan, Henry Ford Community College, and Lawrence Technological University) and tutored formally at two (Henry Ford Community College and Georgia Perimeter College). I have also tutored as an independent ... read more

My comments on tutoring Life Science : SAS Programming for clinical trials - basic concepts

Teaching one to one following the black board method supported by power point slides to make summaries easy. Each class begins with a lesson plan and proceeds checking each heading covered and ends with summary of that day's topic. Teaching is my passion.
I have vast teaching experience in all basic branches of Botany and in specialized ares of Molecular biology, cytogenetics, recombinant DNA technology, biotechnology, bioinformatics, microbial ecology and algology. I taught all these subjects at post graduate level and guided students for their academic projects, M.Phil and ph.D theses. Expert in preparation of study materials as per the need at any level.

A Little Bit About Me...

As an undergraduate student I was always in the top ten percentile of my math, chemistry and biology classes, and as a result, I tutored fellow college students in those respective subjects. After earning my bachelor degree in biology, I worked as an educator at the South Carolina Aquarium where I taught interactive classes to kindergarten, middle school and high school students. I also worked for the Leadership Development Program at the College of Charleston where I co-facilitated student leadership classes. And most recently, while in graduate school I held a teaching assistant position and tutored freshman and sophomore college students in topics related to international development.
My teaching style is based on the student’s learning style. Each child is different and may require different teaching methods to facilitate learning. Some children are more visual and may require ... read more

As a University of West Georgia Biology Workshop Leader I was responsible for checking pre-workshop practice problems, working through workshop problems with the students, administering tests, grading the said tests, keeping organized attendance records, and reporting to my superviors. Not mandated by my outlined responsibilities as a workshop leader but in addition to, I formulated lecture notes, lectured on the said notes, created study aids/diagrams, and offered additional assistance in the tutor room outside of the designated workshop hours.
Reflective of my disposition, immediately in order to establish a conducive learning environment in which the student feels comfortable, I try to employ a mellow, patient, open-minded and light-hearted atmosphere.

I have always enjoyed teaching at any level. One of my strengths is to recognize the personality of the student and contour my style to that particular personality.

I would gently get them involved with simple questions to build their confidence so that others in the same realm would understand and overcome the fear associat ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

During my education career of thirty plus years, I have taught grade level and remedial language arts for grades 6-12, as well as freshman composition (college level), Advanced Placement Literature and Language, and college prep literature and writing courses. While employed as a high school teacher and department head, I elected to teach courses from the entire spectrum of those offered in English. Thus, I am experienced in attending to students' skills and effective instruction in relation to state requirements and test results. Immediately following retirement in 2004, as an education consultant for a major publishing company, I taught reading and language arts to diverse elementary students in cities in the Midwest, Southwest, and Southeast until 2008. I constantly assessed the impact of lesson design and specific teaching strategies for individuals and groups within given enviro ... read more
