Excellence in education and curiosity in the natural world, instilled in me since elementary school, has driven me to be an “A” student through my college education. The curriculums in premedical studies, zoology, and biological sciences, provided me the knowledge to comfortably teach and discuss math and science to all levels of pre-secondary students, while working as a temporary/substitute science/math teacher, and to college undergraduate students, during assignment as a graduate teaching assistant. A summer job as an instructor of nutrition, introduced me to teaching older adults. Tenure as a Chemist for 30 years permitted me to train and mentor new employees, coworkers, and student interns. I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others, especially children to whom I provide exposure and enthusiasm of learning and understanding, so that they not only understand what they need to know,

As an education student, I saw many opportunities in that field. I also saw the diversity of learners, and the need for a diversity in the way education is approached. I began to challenge myself by removing limitations like language, and searching for alternative techniques to teaching students of different cultural, socioeconomic, religious and behavioral backgrounds. Through my efforts, I found that to teach is to learn twice over, and that teaching can be beneficial for the student as well as the educator. I fell in love with education, and will never look back! Throughout my career as a student, I have always prided myself on the ability to help others learn. When I was a high school student, I was the one other students would come to with questions, and I always gave an answer with confidence. Then I got to college and began to study Biology. I was so amazed at the broad spectrum o

Only four years after immigrating from Belgium to the US, self motivated success and ambition allowed me to graduate Valedictorian of my high school class. I was offered a full ride scholarship to UC Berkeley, the #1 public university in the nation. I was pleased with my accomplishments and proceeded to keep following my dream of becoming a pharmacist. I was an Honors college graduate with a BA in Economics and a minor in Spanish but, because I was still interested in health care, my courses ranged from macroeconomics and Spanish American literature to biology, physics and organic chemistry. Extracurricular activities as a volunteer tutor and mentor have allowed me to develop the skills and patience to be an effective and compassionate teacher. Although each child has his or her own style of learning, I believe in bringing out their highest potential by feeding them with the kind of cons

As a teacher, I am driven to help motivate students to reach their highest potential. I am patient and flexible and always willing to help provide examples to help students fully understand the material. I received a Bachelors from the University of Michigan and a Masters degree in Secondary Education from the University of Phoenix. While, at the University of Michigan, I was a writer for the student newspaper. Due to my previous experience as a writer, I learned not only how to be an effective writer but also about publishing. My audience was over 20,000 students. In the past, I have tutored elementary, middle, and high school students through other tutoring agencies in both Michigan and Nevada. I am very passionate when teaching students and I strive hard to ensure that every student grasps the material. I implore real-world examples to provide students with background knowledg

I am fortunate to have multiple intelligence. Since an early age, I have been motivated to increase my knowledge base and skill levels. My desires have motivated me to earn a double majored BS in agriculture, an applied science, and a MS in biology. I taught laboratory classes while I was a student. I began working as a tutor in 1999. This motivated me to become teacher trained. I am an AVID certified tutor. I have tutored middle school, high school, and college students in biology, chemistry, physics, environmental sciences, title-I math and language arts, prealgebra, HS algebra I & II, college algebra, pre-calculus. In my tutoring I work with study, organization, reading, and vocabulary development. I get a thrill from experiencing a student achieving the Ah-ha! moment of learning. I employ multiple modalities of teaching, since most students have multiple modalities of learning. My g

More than anything else teaching is something that I did as a hobby and a challenge. Having been a tutor since my undergrad days, I am of the belief that teaching is as much about communication as content. Each student has a unique way of learning, and I aim to communicate at his/her wavelength, this is why I utitlize many methods to illustrate the same concepts, until the student is able to grasp them fully. I excel at teaching students of varying abilities. My feeling is that any student can be made to appreciate a subject and it is only then that learning becomes an enjoyable experience for the teacher as well as the student. I have a bachelor's degree in physics, chemistry, and mathematics, and a master's degree in physics from the topmost research institution of my country. I also have five years of research experience post-MS. This has given me a deep understanding of not onl

I have had a variety of experiences in education from middle school through high school. I primarily have taught high school biology and aquatic science; however, through all my years as an educator, I have been heavily involved in tutoring reading and math. I spent three years as a special education teacher's aide, working directly with all levels of mainstreamed special ed students in a variety of classroom settings. Recently, I worked in a Communities-In-Schools fifth grade after-school tutoring program in math, reading and science. I get along well with all types of students and feel that building a good rapport is the key to successful tutoring. As a high school drop-out, who later achieved a college degree, I have the ability to connect with students who often struggle in a mainstream classroom setting. I have experience dealing with students of all ages. I am a firm believer

I have obtained two B.A.'s within the past 6 years. I have extensive study in all subjects. My best subjects are math, science, and social studies. I have also studied the piano for 15 years and violin for 8 years. In college I became very interested in theatre and have extensive study in directing, stage managing, and construction. In high school I tutored middle school and elementary school students in math. I have worked as a teacher's aid in mathematics. In college I helped my friends with their studies in anatomy and physiology and environmental science. I love helping children learn. I am very patient and considerate. The most rewarding feeling is knowing that you helped someone. I believe that the skills we learn throughout grade school help us persevere later in life. When I was in grade school I had difficulty articulating my words and was placed into speech therapy.

Since beginning college in 1994, I have been involved with teaching and/or tutoring students, hearing and deaf. My experience teaching ranges from preschool to high school, typically developing children to those with disabilities, from impoverished and affluent areas. My tutoring has been both with a nationwide tutoring chain, as well as with a privately owned company. I have tutored in every subject area, and feel comfortable with any subject area. My teaching style is highly influenced by the type of student that I teach. As a teacher of deaf students, my teaching must be very visual and hands-on. I find this lends itself well to teaching students who might be struggling in a regular classroom environment as well. I always begin by activating any prior knowledge a student might have in a given area, then establishing the goals that need to be met, engaging the child with relevant
