My comments on tutoring Earth Science : B.S. in Science (Life Science Option) from Penn State University, graduating with Distinction; Extensive education in Anatomy, Physiology, Biology, and Chemistry; Tutor for Penn State University in Biology, Anatomy, Physiology, and Math; Currently attending Touro University Nevada - College of Osteopathic Medicine, working toward my Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine.

I graduated from Penn State University in the Fall of 2010, earning my B.S. in Science (Life Science Option). My degree very closely related to the typical Biology degree; however, mine afforded me the ability to specifically tailor my upper level courses to focus more heavily on Anatomy, Physiology, Psychology, and medically related Biology courses. While in college I worked as a tutor for Penn State and I also earned my paramedic certification and have nearly three years experience working in the field as a paramedic, allowing me to bring real world (medical) applications to many of the basic sciences. I moved to Henderson, NV recently to begin medical school.
I enjoy incorporating visual representations of the subject matter as well as using real world examples to solidify the information. As a college graduate and aspiring physician I am also fond of mnemonics as tools helpful ... read more

I have been working with students in a reading program at a Title I school for 2 years; working with second language students teaching them the English language. I have taught Math and Science for 4th and 5 grade using the Foss system. The Science program was a hands on experiments, writing and keeping a science notebook. Evaluations were given at the end of each lesson segment involving the Foss Systems. Taught 3rd grade all subject for 5 years teaching all subjects. I have been recognized for classroom management above expectations for the school. Students were taught with creativity and experience using hands on manipulatives and differenciated lessons. I am presently teaching 2nd grade, all subjects and also using the Foss Systems for science, Investigations for math in which many manipulitves are used to promote a higher level of thinking.

Earth Science is one of my top subjects! I have been teaching environmental science for 18 years. I have a passion for this subject and keep current on new findings and research.

I have a Master's Degree in Applied (Environmental) Microbiology and have been an adjunct faculty member at a local community college for 18 years in the physical science department. I began teaching as an undergraduate. I am also a research scientist and have been working in the environmental field for two decades.
My teaching style is very practical. What do we need to do to get the job done and how can we relate this to real world examples. I believe everyone is capable and learns in different ways. The key to success is finding what clicks with each student.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is very unique. I believe that in order for a student to learn and retain information, they must be able to make a connection between the material that they are learning and their own life. Therefore I always ensure that I make real life connections when teaching skills. I show students how the material relates to their own lives and how it will be useful to them in the future. I also believe in allowing students to use their own critical thinking skills in order to solve problems. That means, that instead of teaching a student basic facts and details, I teach students how to think for themselves. I also enjoy using manipulatives and realia during instruction. I believe that integrating books, articles and artifacts ensures that students are able to grasp a concept.
I have taught elementary school for a total of seven years. One of those years I spent as a ... read more

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, but can discover that they want to know more and can find the information themselves. Because I continue to read books and search the internet to satisfy my own thirst for knowledge, I know where the resources are for my students. Each child wants to learn—it is a survival instinct; but each child is different and will learn in different ways. I have the patience and the creativity to find the most effective teaching method for the child’s academic success. And most of all, I believe learning is fun.
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 premed ... read more

I believe in a personal, individual attention approach to tutoring as this is how I myself was taught by my parents and siblings. I am also result oriented as far as grades are concerned.

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 spec ... read more

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.

There are many teaching methods that stand behind my philosophy. I believe that remaining aware of the different ways in which children learn, and taking those learning styles into consideration throughout my lesson planning and delivery, is of great importance. The classroom environment is also very important. A healthy learning environment, where both my students and I can take risks, make mistakes and learn from one another, is key. My philosophy of education will keep on evolving as I gain teaching experience. I will add some new goals and revise others. Even as my philosophy undergoes change, I believe that my main goal will remain the same. My mission is to motivate students to become life-long learners, and help them acquire skills that will enable them to pursue independent learning.
Throughout college, I completed two field experiences followed by my student teaching ex ... read more
