Life Science is one of my top subjects! Includes various disciplines: invertebrate zoology, taxonomy, organismal biology, evolution, biodiversity, biogeography. Also museum curation and collections management.

Emphasize understanding of concepts rather than test taking skills.
I have work experience as a wildlife biologist and ecologist specializing in rare and endangered species research and conservation. I also have expertise in natural history collections curation and management having worked at three natural history museums over the course of my career. I am comfortable teaching in a traditional classroom, home, or in the field in an outdoor setting.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have 9 years of experience in teaching chemistry and physics at the high school level. Additionally, extensive experience teaching/tutoring a myriad of other subjects, such as, earth science, algebra, trigonometry, biology, CPR/first aid, GED prep and various adult education classes. I also have 15 years of practical laboratory experience as a laboratory chemist with increasing levels of responsibility.
To teach is to "impart knowledge or skill to somebody by instruction or example" while education is defined as "to develop mentally, morally, or aesthetically especially by instruction". I aspire to be an educator, as defined above. While I believe in the content of the sciences, I am interested in evoking the thought process to utilize the scientific method as a problem solving technique applicable to all areas of life. Through life, didactic specifics of chemistry may wane, ... read more

I'm patient and listen to the student to see what they get and don't get about the premise of the lesson. Then we get to it. Careful reinforcement of the Correct method will ensure Remembrance and Results. Also, Lessons must be approached within the context of the Big Picture. Students need to realize that there are no pointless or forgettable sections. Basically, communication is key followed by practice, reinforcement, more practice. Learning can be at pace, but laziness and whining will not be tolerated.
I have a Bachelor of Art in History, predominantly American. I also pursued Engineering for my first year and plan to go back to College. I have completed through Calculus II and am also experienced in hands-on mechanical. I have limited tutoring experience, but I know I can listen and respond. Any experience came from helping others in classes during College.

My teaching philosophy and primary goal is to first understand and appreciate each child for their unique abilities, strengths and weaknesses, then to channel those abilities toward a better appreciation of the practical value of science and math knowledge. Learning comes easiest when students find benefits to knowledge. Each assignment represents a short term goals, building a student’s confidence with each successful completion. I find by encouraging students to avoid distractions, focus and manage their time effectively, it is much easier to make significant progress on difficult teaching concepts and retain knowledge .
I can offer a student a broad educational perspective with a Ph.D. in the medical sciences and 18 years experience in the Biotech industry. My teaching experience began on the faculty at the UMass Medical School (1993-1999), where I tutored high school, unde ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

At Bridgewater State College I started tutoring general chemistry and organic chemistry in the Fall of 2006. I am receiving my degree this May, and have already been accepted to a few PhD programs in chemistry. I am looking for a tutoring job or jobs for the summer, and possibly for longer. I have tutored small groups of five to eight students for chemistry. I have tutored general chemistry, organic chemistry, and chemistry in everyday life, which is a course for non-chemistry majors.
I strongly believe that all students can find success as long as they work for it, and are encouraged to reach their goals. I am very patient with my students, and allow them to really think about the problem and work toward a workable solution. In my small group sessions I will usually present an example and have the students work on it while I go to each student to make sure they are understanding t ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My favorite thing about teaching is when my students finally understand and make a connection to what I have been teaching them. I believe that all children have the ability to be successful; it just takes the right approach and the right tools to connect to each student. I believe that a good teacher teaches to the many different learning styles of their pupils, and continues to provide challenging and engaging instruction. I am a patient, responsible, and respectful individual who loves children and helping them to reach their full potential.
As a professional educator it is my responsibility to make sure that all my students are given the skills and tools they need to help them to be successful in their next grade level. I currently teach AM/PM kindergarten which means I have to find fun and engaging ways to teach students all the skills they need to acquire in kindergarten i ... read more

I am currently studying to become a High School Biology Teacher and will be taking the Mass. Test for Education License in May 2011. In 2009 I joined AmeriCorps and worked for the Mountain Studies Institute in Durango Colorado. While I was there, I held educational workshops, presentations and forums. While in school I helped my classmates in two separate ways. One as a part-time peer tutor, the second as the co-president of the Reef Check Volunteer Club. As such I again got to train members to look for specific indicator species of biological importance. I also worked at a museum of natural science in Granville NY. While here I lead nature hikes and designed activities for elementary school classes and day camps.
I've have always enjoyed working with children of all ages, and find that each child is unique. Each one learns in their own way, and one of my greatest strengths is b ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My philosophy of tutoring is (1) Tutoring with a method of enlightenment: a chemistry textbook is full of symbols, equations, concepts etc. (2) Open two-way communication: this is based on a mutual understanding and respect for all students irrespective of their grades. Teaching and learning is a dual direction process. I always create a climate during tutoring to translate my teaching enthusiasm into students’ enthusiasm to learn. All these contribute to a successful tutoring.
Being as a teaching assistant, lab instructor is an important training in my graduate study until I obtained PhD of Chemistry. After graduation, I tutored undergraduate students for their chemistry classes. Tutoring is an efficient way to improve students' understanding and mastering chemistry knowledge. Tutoring is not just a repeat what have been taught in lecture, it is to improve capability of solving pr ... read more

After graduating from Haverford College with a double major in physics and astronomy, I worked for three years as an astrophysics researcher at NASA and Harvard University. In 2000, I became a teacher and a tutor. Since that time, I have taught children of all ages and adults in a wide variety of subjects. From 2002-2003, I designed and taught my own courses in physics and Calculus at the Academy at Charlemont. From 2004-2006, I completed a two year graduate program in physics education at the University of California, Berkeley. I gathered extensive experience student teaching at urban schools in the Bay Area and participated in two research groups. For my Master's thesis, I developed a curriculum to teach modern physics at the high school level using computer technology and hands-on, inquiry-based laboratory activities. Since the fall of 2006, I have been working in public schools in Bo ... read more
