B.S. in Science (Life Science Option) from Penn State University; Psych courses included: Introductory Psychology, Positive Psychology, Health Psychology (400 lvl), Abnormal Psychology (400 lvl), and Forensic Psychology (400 lvl). I graduated from Penn State University in the Fall of 2010, earning my B.S. in Science (Life Science Option). My degree very closely related to the typical Biology degree; however, mine afforded me the ability to specifically tailor my upper level courses to focus more heavily on Anatomy, Physiology, Psychology, and medically related Biology courses. While in college I worked as a tutor for Penn State and I also earned my paramedic certification and have nearly three years experience working in the field as a paramedic, allowing me to bring real world (medical) applications to many of the basic sciences. I moved to Henderson, NV recently to begin medical school

Although I have never taken a course in Psychology nor have I tutored the subject, I truly believe I am an expert in Psychology because I am a little bit crazy. :)Just Kidding, Really... I consider myself to be a uniquely seasoned, qualified, and experienced tutor who can adapt to any situation and to any student in order to benefit their education and learning experience. Due to my ability to teach and tutor children and adults of all ages, (in addition to my own near-perfect scores on the SAT & ACT) I was one of the first Instructors hired by PrepExpert, a national company that specializes in preparing students for the SAT, ACT, AP, other exams, and simply for help in regular classes at all levels. This company is so successful and growing so fast because of the unparalleled improvements among students that it recently appeared on ABC's show "Shark Tank," during which Mark Cuban was i

My teaching style is progressive. I believe education should be entertaining, however not entertainment. I enjoy challenging my students, however to do this effectively it is important that they remain engaged. One of the ways in which I do this is to encourage students to think creatively. Creativity is the key to success with education. Not only does it foster confidence and positive self-esteem, creativity keeps the brain on its toes, so to speak, by continually challenging students’ abilities and forcing students to expand beyond their academic comfort zone. Teaching students to develop new ways to solve problems generates the confidence needed to succeed not only in school but also in life. My interest in becoming a tutor stems from my life long passion for teaching and learning. Throughout the past eight years, I have focused my efforts on soaking up my education and research exper

When people ask me what I want to do with my life, I say that I want to save the world, and I believe that teaching is one way that I can work toward that goal. Teaching, for me, is an opportunity to reach out to students and get them excited about science and the world in which we live. As a young girl, I stayed away from science, afraid that I wasn’t smart enough to understand it. Only after I received my BA and spent 5 years working in a field for which I had no passion did I decide to return to school to study the things I loved most in the world – animals and their environments. My first Biology instructor made the information come alive and he gave us real world examples of how the biological world works. Since then, I have strived to be that kind of teacher so that no other young person would feel like they’re not smart enough to “get” science. Recently I have been teaching at

I recently graduated from the University of Colorado with a bachelor's degree in architecture which allowed me to be very understanding of math and science while also gaining a strong inclination to creativity. I taught swimming lessons and tennis lessons to children for five years and I previously worked at a summer day camp for kids ages 3-13. I am CPR and Red Cross certified, and I have a great passion for working with children. I took advanced placement English and math classes in high school and in college I used my electives towards classes such as creative writing, economics, psychology, and education classes. As I complete my teaching certification and masters of education at UNLV, I hope to help children through school by becoming a tutor. I come from a family of seven children, four of them younger than me, and three of them adopted from the Philippines. Growing up in this

Academics have always been a primary focus in my life, but having balance is essential. To maintain balance, I actively take part in extracurricular community service with under-served persons of all ages and ethnicities. I was a volunteer at Sierra Vista Regional Medical Center and the Sheriff's Department Animal Shelter for several years while attending Cal Poly San Luis Obispo for my BS in Biochemistry, with a minor in Psychology. I have tutored students in high school and college chemistry, math and French for the past 5 years. I am an organized and detail-oriented worker that shows good leadership qualities. I will help promote an efficient, cooperative and effective environment. Courses such as: chemistry, biochemistry, basic pathophysiology, speech communication, calculus, lifespan and human development, 2 years of Spanish, 4 years of French and several upper division laborator

I thoroughly enjoy working with the elderly population and children as well. If given the opportunity, I would prefer to work with older clientel. I am a very patient, and reserved person when it comes to teaching others new skills. I have realized that not every individual will learn at the same pace or have the success rate as others. It is important to take each person on a individual basis, and if we work together we will meet the goals that are wanted by both of us. I graduated from the University of Nevada Las Vegas in 2007 with a BA in communication studies. The curriculum at UNLV has given me a solid foundation in both my written and verbal communication skills. I also completed the gerontology program as well in 2007. I have been involved with senior theater programs, and I am currently mentoring for a non-profit organization. The program is for senior men who are 55 years of ag

My teaching style can be described in two words: persistent and patient. I believe that the reason why a student may seem disinterested in education is due to fear of not understanding the subject, embarrassment of failure, and/or lack of self-motivation or focus. But all of these can be overcome with a persistent tutor who does not give up on the student, and who is patient to understand that the student just needs more time and work. I believe that all students have the potential to accomplish goals and triumph over any learning impediments. During the last two years that I have been tutoring I have thoroughly enjoyed helping students to overcome impediments and improve their skills. As a recent college graduate, I uphold and advocate the educational experience as an essential part of life. It not only expands our mental capabilities, but also builds confidence into individuals.

I look on teaching as a learning experience.I learn from my students, from their input and work on it, what I give is based on my student,s knowledge which I learn with patient effort.I start by letting the student tell me all thereby revealing his/her knowledge of the subject.Then I work to improve on their needs based on their knowledge. While doing my Bachelor's in Economics I was tutoring at a nearby college. My subjects were English, Social studies, Biology and Chemistry. My recent tutoring experience involves my own children, both of whom I tutored in every subject up to the seventh grade. Except for Arithmetic, I still help my son in High School with other subjects.

As a teacher, I like to inspire the student to be the best that they can be! My skills include motivational hands on exercises and fun approaches to learning all subjects. I love to watch my students grow both in knowledge, and in individuality. From the moment I entered high school, I had a thirst for knowledge. Even though I was already attending the top private school in Atlanta, I wanted to ensure the maximum level of achievement. Therefore, I applied to the top boarding school in the country, Phillips Exeter Academy, and was granted admission! After high school, I attended the independant ivy, Wesleyan University, where my learning continued, not only in the classroom, but also outside of the classroom. I became a mentor and a tutor during my junior year. I am pleased to say that I am still on the journey of achieving a stellar eduaction, but more importantly, I am utilizing and enj

I am a patient person and I feel that is very important in any learning environment. I believe in empowering all students to strive for their best potential, I feel there is no such thing as "failure" but there is a thing called "feedback". I have a lot of empathy for children. In addition children can learn anything if we break it down into bits and pieces. I have been a substitute teacher for the school district for 4years now. I have taught in a variety of settings including, but not limited to severe special ed, autism, ADHD, K-6 grades in diversifed settings.
