Pre-Calculus Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Oral, SD

My education focuses on geology, the environmental sciences and includes the arts. One of my main interests is encouraging students to explore the wonderful possibilities available in the many existing scientific fields. My experience is diverse; I’ve held many technical field positions with the government, I spent two years in Panama with the Peace Corps encouraging and teaching poor coffee farmers in sustainable agricultural techniques, and I’ve worked as a volunteer for the National Park Service, The Nature Conservancy and others. I taught English in Panama, I was a tutor for the America Reads Program, and twice I tutored undergraduate women through MentorNet, an online forum encouraging women to pursue science degrees. I enjoy working one on one with students, and will adapt my teaching style to how the student learns and to what he/she finds interesting. My goal as a tutor is to as

Prior to changing my undergraduate major to Geography, I was an elementary education major. I have always enjoyed working with students; however, at the time I wanted to try something different and is how I ended up working as a Park Ranger for the National Park Service (NPS). My experiences with NPS have allowed me to teach in an informal setting, by educating the public about their national parks. I also have the opportunity to present curriculum based education programs in grades K-5 about different aspects in NPS. My experiences have also pushed me to start a Masters of Science degree in Biology to further my knowledge. While I was an undergraduate, I was also a teaching assistant for physical geography labs. I have always loved teaching, whether its adults or children. Everyone has their own learning style and teachers need to be able to adapt teaching methods to help all succe

Along with tutoring college level students, I also worked with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Rapid City as a tutor to elementary level students. Working with children is a passion of mine, and I am patient and willing to use different teaching techniques to ensure that the student is comfortable with the material. Sometimes all a student needs is a new view on the material, and I'm willing to provide that for them. I'm currently a senior at the University of South Dakota. I'm finishing my Chemistry/Spanish double major via online classes in Rapid City, SD. I've tutored all levels of Spanish and received credit for doing so, and am now student teaching at Stevens High School in their Spanish Department. I also have extensive experience in math and science fields as a result of my Chemistry major. I have taken up to Calculus II, and have taken numerous Chemistry, Biology, and Anatomy c

My teaching style is pertinent to my learners. I believe all people have the ability to learn what is needed to help them.I believe that each child is a unique individual who needs a secure, caring, and stimulating atmosphere in which to grow and mature emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially. It is my desire as a educator to help students meet their fullest potential in these areas by providing an environment that is safe, supports risk-taking, and invites a sharing of ideas. There are three elements that I believe are conducive to establishing such an environment: the teacher acting as a guide, allowing the learner natural curiosity to direct his/her learning, and promoting respect for all things and all people. As a Bachelor of Science graduate, I have given my purpose to help students attain knowledge and experience in the areas: all education college courses, helped pe
