I have worked with companies whose major focus was to increase math and science scores. I have found visual aids are an effective way to teach math and other subjects. Because my educational background is mathematically and science based, most of my tutoring experiences are in the subjects of math and science. However, I do have experience tutoring students in all subjects. In addition to this, I have over 2 years of experience in teaching GED level classes. I have worked with adults of all ages and have helped students obtain their GED. My experience as an instructor was with Wiregrass Technical College (formerly Valdosta Technical College). During my tenure I was able to help 5 of 12 students obtain their GED and/or pass 3 out of 5 subject areas. I provided group and individual tutoring and found both instruction methods rewarding.
I have previously worked for an in-home tutori ... read more

Love to share my passion for All things science

I have worked in the aquarium industry for 19years. I have indepth knowledge, practical skills related to the marine science field. I grew up in a VA suburb of Washington, DC and spent my summers and holidays from college as a page, intern, and tour guide in the US Capitol. I have a passion for learning that I would love to share with students in need. My most recent job as Associate Curator at the Georgia Aquarium required that I have indepth knowledge of a wide variety of marine and freshwater habitats, ecology, fish ID, water chemistry, and management of a team of biologist.
I think science is fun and exciting. I like to teach with a hands on approach.

My comments on tutoring Life Science : With my Ph.D. in biology (including evolution,historical geology, genetics, and physiology), I am equipped to relate the basics of life science to students, along with an introduction to the logic and methods of science as a whole.

As a teacher and tutor, I focus on developing conceptual knowledge (rather than memorization), and structured study methods, problem-solving techniques, and test-taking skills,including post-test analyses of mistakes as a learning tool. I encourage the student to develop skills appropriate not only to the discipline, but to his or her own personal learning style. I like to use on-line interactive tutorials, especially with students who are highly visual or hands-on learners. At the same time, as a tutor,I like to interact with the student's instructor (and, where appropriate, the parents) to best serve his or her needs.
I have taught at three universities (The University of Michigan, Henry Ford Community College, and Lawrence Technological University) and tutored formally at two (Henry Ford Community College and Georgia Perimeter College). I have also tutored as an independent ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have always enjoyed teaching at any level. One of my strengths is to recognize the personality of the student and contour my style to that particular personality. In a class room setting, I would focus on a student that I feel is shy and afraid to speak. I would gently get them involved with simple questions to build their confidence so that others in the same realm would understand and overcome the fear associated with participation and become involved with the existing interaction.
As a Facilitator for Western/Delta Air Lines, I was sent to a Training Mapping class in Los Angeles, Ca. to master writing training materials based on the Fogg Index of the trainees. I have also been a Substitute Teacher in the Fayette County School system from 2003-2008 in various grade levels (kindergarden to High School.

As a University of West Georgia Biology Workshop Leader I was responsible for checking pre-workshop practice problems, working through workshop problems with the students, administering tests, grading the said tests, keeping organized attendance records, and reporting to my superviors.

My teaching style is based on the student’s learning style. Each child is different and may require different teaching methods to facilitate learning. Some children are more visual and may require more interactive exercises to learn. I do not believe in spoon-feeding information to children but taking the time to ensure that they fully grasped the concept of a problem and are able to think through a solution on their own. I will work to develop their critical thinking skills and will challenge them, so that they are not just passive learners but active participants in the cognitive process. I am patient and will work at the student’s pace encouraging him/her to give his/her best effort to the given task.

I have always encouraged my own children to find something they love as a career. They could see from my example, that loving what you do makes all the difference in the world. I know that children are individuals and do not all learn in the same way. There are many paths to success. It just takes getting to know the student and finding what works for him/her. I think knowing the student and all that they bring to their learning experience, helps you to find what is effective in teaching them.
I began teaching in the Valdosta City School System also being a reading teacher for students with problems. Gwinnett County School System (1974-1990).

Teaching is the work of the heart. You must love what you do in other to do it well. My goal is to maximize the academic, emotional, and physical growth of all students. It is my belief to accomplish this, a teacher must be a hands on teacher with rigor and relevance in each of their lessons.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been working with children of and on all my life. My credentials are personal as well as professional. From a personal perspective, I have a child with autism for which I have spent many hours tutoring in the afternoons. I also have another daughter, who has struggled in school. I have spent many hours in the afternoons tutoring her. I also volunteered in a high school helping Special Eduacation kids in the Resource classrooms. This experience along with my education, I believe, qualifies me as a tutor.
I believe in one-on-one teaching and hands on. These to me are the best way to get through to some children. Online tutorals are a new way to reach kids and adults alike, since everything now is media based. I feel this is an effective way to reach students. I will give my best to demonstrate this way of teaching. Hands on and visually seeing also helps to accelerate t ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have always had a passion for students, Math and teaching. I have been tutoring since I was in high school. My tutoring skills range from elementary to college. During my student teaching experience, I had the opportunity to work on a team with special education students. I had a chance to use my creativity in creating lessons that would reach each student.
I believe the best approach to teaching a student is first learning what kind of learner they are. This discovery guides the type of instruction I use. I also always build on a student's prior knowledge, which enhances retainment. I am very patient and believe in positive reinforcements. My ultimate goal is to make my students successful. I want to teach my students how to fish, not just give them the fish.
