More About This Tutor...

I have a very flexible approach to teaching and am able to adapt to each student's unique learning style. I am familiar with ‘constructivist’ learning and have successfully applied this approach in the classroom with various strategies designed to assist all students in maximizing their learning. I encourage students to actively participate in their own learning, rather than being passive recipients. Students who are disengaged can become engaged when they are in a positive, supportive environment, where their own individual learning style is catered for. Inquiry based learning as opposed to students as passive ‘sponges’, also creates higher levels of student engagement.
I am an experienced teacher of grades 7-12, having taught in my native Australia for over 17 years. I have specialized in teaching senior English and English as a Second Language. I have been a faculty head ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am devoted to the Socratic method. Teaching with leading questions allows my students to formulate within their own minds the connections necessary to grasp the concepts we are addressing. There is no greater joy than seeing the light in a student's eyes when he or she makes that crucial crossover from external facts to internal understanding. Also, I am firmly convinced that education is a social process in which both teacher and student participate, and from which both learn. Working with a motivated student is invigorating to me.
I have been involved in teaching of some sort since young adulthood. My formal experience was the 17 years I spent teaching Philosophy at Gonzaga University and North Idaho College. Prior to that, I spent a number of years teaching guitar. I am a published author and Internet radio podcaster, teaching on various topics in philosophy and spiritua ... read more

Although I value my college degree in biology and formal education, my real love for learning and teaching has been honed over the years teaching my own kids at home. I've homeschooled them in every general subject for the last eight years. I have developed a love and knowledge for history, government, the sciences, writing, and mathematics up through algebra. I feel confident in tutoring childen in these topics up through the high school years. I have experience teaching children with attention deficit problems and high energy levels.
I enjoy teaching kids of all ages and get along well with them while maintaining a degree of respect from them. I am capable at keeping them on task, even with challenging personalities. I enjoy doing hands-on work as well as print focused work. I have developed patience working with my own six kids in our home. I believe strongly that one-on ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As one of only 60 graduates in the Biochemistry&Molecular Biophysics program, I have extensive training in mathematics, physical/organic chemistry, and biophysics. My double major in Molecular&Cellular Biology couples biological systems and human physiology with the "harder" physical/chemical sciences. With over 5 years experience as a Medical Dosimetrist, I have only recently turned to more creative pursuits. I'm currently a freelance writer, composing print copy, articles, reports, web content, and e books. Most of my direct tutoring experience has been through college(I led many study groups), and through work (training med students), but I have also assisted my son and his friends throughout his (now 6th grade) scholastic career.
I am very flexible with my communication style, and can easily and quickly assess and tailor my teaching style with whomever I am teaching. I like ... read more
