A survey of applied biology and how it relates to biological/living organisms work within a dynamic environment. Subjects Include: Genetics, Taxonomy, Behavior, Nutrition, Reproduction, and Environment/Ecology. My teaching style is a combination of teaching by example and using the Socratic method inorder to challenge the student to think beyond the surface. I think that allowing the student to think through the process and analyze the problem it allows them to better internalize what they are learning. I have professional background as a field biologist and a GIS analyst. I have applied my knowledge of both scientific disciplines to support my survey findings and convey them in report form. In addition to my professional background, I have 20 years experience in teaching karate and 10 years teaching SCUBA diving.

I have worked as a tutor for 10 years in all subjects, especially focusing on ESL learners. Recently, I have worked in an ESL school (FLS International) with university age students seeking to matriculate into American Universities. Before that, I worked in South Korea teaching English. While employed at these schools, I also work part-time as a tutor- mostly for middle and high school age students. Many of my students struggle with time management, and this is a main focus in my tutoring sessions. I hate lecturing! I do! This is why my tutoring style is very interactive. I don't like talking AT a person, I prefer to have a conversation. My goal as a tutor is to make subjects interesting, and also to make sure they stick- so you can do well on exams. I also teach study skills in every session, so ideally you won't have to rely on me forever. I try to give students tools that the

My experience as a tutor has been fulfilling.

From that I became a tutor in the natural sciences, as well as study and organizational skills. I believe in positive reinforcement and constructive criticism.

I love working with children and teens. I am very sociable and students generally find me easy going and understanding. Every child has the capacity to improve and learn over time; therefore I am very patient and teach through direct practice and repetition. Given helpful techniques and proper guidance, I’ve seen children improve drastically in their schoolwork. I aim to make a difference in every student’s grade. Being a biology graduate from the UC system and a children’s counselor for the last seven years has equipped me with extensive knowledge and teaching skills. I hold a B.S. in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, which encompasses many other scientific disciplines and mathematical skills. I’ve also learned many grammar and writing techniques from frequent research reports and laboratory essays. After working with children and teens for many years, I have gained invaluable experienc

As a tutor I feel it is my job to provide students with the extra help they need in reaching their educational outside of the classroom. I have always been very passionate for nurturing the needs of individuals of all ages: elementary and middle school students, high schools students, college students, and working professionals. I love seeing individuals grow threw the learning process, and am always amazed at how much I learn, as the tutor, from the students, as well. I fully understand that the needs of each student vary, as do the different ways in which each student learns. I enjoy using both out of the box and traditional methods of tutoring to make the learning process both fun and educational.
