Life Science is one of my top subjects!

I am an evolutionary biologist and paleontologist who has been active in the field for over a decade. I have been a professor of college-level biology, paleontology, and anatomy for 8 years on top of 5 years assistant teaching geology courses during my graduate education. I have a broad, interdisciplinary background, which is a result of my broad curiosity about the scientific exploration of all aspects of the natural world. I have experience teaching classes as large as 400 students and as small as 4, though most of my experience has been in the 12-24 student range. I have had the opportunity to teach at several different types of schools, including Ivy League and small liberal arts colleges, where I have had a lot of exposure to pedagogical methods that encourage permanent understanding and maintain interest. I have taken the opportunity to participate in several teaching workshop ... read more

My comments on tutoring Life Science : Taught this to my children

I have been home schooling my two children for 13 years. My oldest is graduating this year and attending the college of her choice. My youngest is in 9th grade. Through these years of experience, I have discovered the best ways to motivate, to understand a student and to help a student understand themselves and the way they best learn. I have a broad understanding of many subjects as a result of teaching them myself for the past several years.
I follow a Socratic method of teaching. Leading the student into discovery by asking them questions, understanding what the student knows/understands and building on that. I am low key, but demand a good grasp on the subject before moving forward with new information.

Specializing in Out-of-the-Box Thinking for All Learners

Let's start out by saying I am definitely not your average tutor! Fun is vital to motivation, and I live on the stuff! I have been teaching for over fifteen years in a variety of environments, working in inclusive environments with children aged birth to twelve. I am now in my second year as a Special Education Teacher at a private school in DC that specializes in working with children who have Learning and Emotional Disabilities. I hold my M.Ed.HD in Special Education from GWU and a Bachelor's in Early Childhood Education. During the summer, I serve as the Behavior Intervention Specialist for Fairfax County Park Authority in Inclusion camps. Even in high school and college, I tutored peers and proofread papers. Currently, I tutor clients in Clinton, MD twice a week, and in Alexandria twice a week, so I m able to take on clients in/near those locations. In addition to tutoring, I am ... read more

Let's get back down to the basics (Latin, History, Science)

I recieved a BA degree from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. I majored in Classical Civilization (with a Latin Concentration) and History. I have 12 years of experience teaching Latin. The courses I have taught include introductory courses, Latin I, Latin II, and Latin III. 3 years of Life Science teaching experience. 4 years of History teaching experience (as a tour guide and history interpreter) 12 years of experience teaching writing as well.
I like to boil things down to the basics. With Latin and Science that means learning as much as one can about the basic elements and then building one step at a time on those basics. In history, it means learning the story, and telling the story.

More About This Tutor...

I always look forward to tutoring new people becuase I not only get to make a difference in their life by helping them master what they're struggling with, but I also get to learn about people and different learning styles. I view tutoring as a way to help others while improving my interpersonal skills. I value all the skills I gain from tutoring because they will be assets when I become a physician. Working with all ages from kindergarten to college has taught me patience and how to conform to different people's needs.
I graduated from Vanderbilt University in May 2010, and I am currently applying to medical school. In high school and college, I tutored in math, science, English, and test prep. Math and Science are my favorite subjects, but I also have much experience with tutoring English and grammar. I have also tutored people preparing for tests such as the ACT, SAT, and Gatewa ... read more

Guided by experiences in my life and lessons I’ve learned through teaching, I’ve come to understand that all children learn differently. My goal is to first determine where the students need help, based on their learning style, and then focus my knowledge and experience to help them using proven teaching techniques and my own teaching methods. My philosophy of education is that I believe that teachers should provide an opportunity to facilitate the academic, social, and individual growth of students. We should incorporate cooperative learning, which includes literacy, math and science manipulatives and writing to help children to work cooperatively and explore their various talents.
Teaching is my passion and I believe that by teaching I can instill firm educational values in children and help develop within them a desire to learn and grow, which will lead to academic pride and s ... read more

High personal values get forged and refined in the fire of academic challenge. I value excellence and doing quality work. I have BS degrees in Mathematics and Electrical Engineering, two of the most challenging fields in education. I achieved success by developing personal qualities required to meet the challenge these two technical fields imposed and demanded upon me. The personal success of achieving high goals is the reward of sacrifice and self-discipline. I know exactly what each client needs to have success with Math and Science.
A teacher can only be successful if his student efficiently learns through effective communication. I find the best style of communicating Math to every individual. I am very patient and understanding with a talent to discern a student’s heart and mind. I am very encouraging and possess all the skills needed to take the frustration and anxiet ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Throughout many years of tutoring my peers and underclassmen, I have obtained several techniques to help students study effectively. Depend on each individual student and their study habit; I can adjust a specific agenda and curriculum to help strengthen their weakness and excel their strength. I am very patient and fun to be around. For me learning is a combination of fun and hard work. I tend to make the material easier to understand and to captivate their interest in the subject.
I’ve graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biology in 2009. My Biology coursework has centered on theory, problem solving and critical thinking. I have taken multiple Biology, Chemistry, Physic, Math and Psychology classes which have enabled me to improve my knowledge and understanding of the subject. I have also taken various computer skills, writing, and test taking classes that can prepare s ... read more

As an engineering graduate, with additional exposure in substitute teaching for 5 years in various Fairfax county schools,I was driven to high level of excellence in mathematics and Physics.During my internship-teaching,my mentor was really appreciated the lab set up,and my extra innovative ideas especially to drive the back log students to create an intrinsic interest in their curriculum.I strongly believe all kids have enormous potential by birth but as teacher we have to identify the critical areas needed attention.Listening to the students is also one of the most important factor.This can be done either one to one basis or in the presence of a peer or paren,t but the confidentiality should be maintained
love teaching irrespective of the monetary benefit.I strongly believe this is one of the profession you can achieve some mental satisfaction.Teaching never ends as the nature is ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a wide variety of experience in mentoring and teaching. As a graduate with a degree in journalism, I have excellent oral and written communication skills including spelling, grammar, and analytical writing. As a science teacher to a group of English language learners, I mastered the art of differential teaching to reach several different levels of learners. I've taught students performing several grade levels below where they should be, as well as students that were exceptionally gifted. I've taught: reading strategies, literacy development, middle-school science, writing, character building, leadership principals, organization/planning skills, and journalism.
My specialty is developing creative strategies to get students to develop a desire to learn. In my experience, I've found that tapping into students interests and finding a way to tie that into the lesson not only g ... read more
