Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Rock Island, TX

In having a science background, I have not only learned laboratory skills and reasoning skills, but I have learned how to increase efficiency, communicate in a clear manner, and write in a way that is direct and clear. I enjoy learning, and I instill that passion into my students as best I can. I grew up with a mom who is an English teacher, so I have developed good communication skills and writing skills from her. I have taught Biology for two years at the college level and I very much enjoy the experience of knowing that what you have been trying to convey to your students just hit home. That is a great feeling. I think it takes a lot for one teacher to reach all of types of students who are all at different levels of interest in the subject being taught as well as at different levels of understanding. However, I feel it is the teacher's responsibility to give them all equal oppor

After receiving a PhD in chemistry from Purdue University I worked over 20 years in discovery research areas. I then turned to my calling of education and became a certified science teachers for grades 8-12. I taught middle school science for five years. I have since retired but love to stay connected to science and math education by tutoring. I have the gift of being able to take complex subject matter, make it easy to undersand and connect it to the real world. Students come with various background and motivation levels and ways of learning. A tutor needs to be able to discover within the student the best way for that student to learn. I believe students should be pressed not to memorize facts but to use critical thinking skills, tying things together and seeing relations so a multitude of similar problems can be solved. There are many ways science can be taught. Over the years, I h

My first objective is to achieve the results wanted by the students and their parents. In addition, I want to share my appreciation for the subject. It’s important to understand the students learning style and accommodate it as much as is practical. This way the student can take ownership of the learning and be successful as a self learner. A good teacher not only helps a student to master material, but also helps the student understand the process of learning, so that learning is not solely dependent on the teacher. I have an engineering degree and have worked in the Oil & Gas industry for over twenty years. My engineering degree gives me a background to tutor in areas of math and science. I’m also a lifelong learner which is important if you are going to teach others. I have been a team manager for Destination Imagination (creative problem solving) with teams from elementary to

I spent one year as a Headstart teacher. I have several years of substitute teaching experience working with different subjects and grades. I was a tutor throughout college. I just began tutoring again this year for CARE. I have recently tutored chemistry & biology. I love working with kids. I try to make things as simple as I can in hopes that the student will understand it. I think it is important to praise kids ( ex. good job) to boost their self esteem. It helps motive them to strive harder . My goal is to help students to excel in academics through my expertise so that they can build a solid foundation upon the knowledge that I have shared with them.
