My education includes degrees in Biology, Environmental Science, and Education. Some of my coursework included botany, zoology, chemistry, physics, ecology, scientific methods and writing. As an environmental consultant for the past 23 years, I’ve conducted scientific studies, written reports, managed a team, and worked with the public. I've also taught science at the college-level. Two favorite classes were “Spring Flora” and “Trees and Shrubs”. Both were freshman courses that introduced mostly non-science majors to their first experience with the natural sciences. Overall, I'm enthusiastic about teaching and believe that my real-life experience provides a unique learning opportunity. I love science and love to teach! I believe that teaching is an intentional effort. It’s not just about presenting information, but also about motivating. I set high standards, but also emphasize that scie

My teaching philosophy comes from my education and experience through my life as a student, but also as a teaching assistant, a trainer and a junior medical physicist. I especially enjoyed the enthusiasm and the devotion that emanated from some professors as they were brilliantly explaining the physics courses. One could easily tell that they had such a passion and dedication for what they were teaching. I also want to be able to inspire and educate young and fresh minds. There is nothing comparable to sharing the knowledge and experience of the subject you love, because knowledge can only be valuable if it is shared and transferable to the growing generation.

When teaching, I consider all learning modalities and styles. In my experience,visual and tactile approaches tend to have the highlest level of success. Technology such as learning games, computers, and etc. are useful tools in teaching. Hands on activites along with munipulatives and supplemental materials are excellent additions to validate that the skill or lesson taught is being comprehended. I have taught reading, writing, math, science, and social studies to special needs children with mild and moderate disabilities. I represent Kaplan College General Education program’s curriculum concerns, effectiveness, and needs. As a college adjunct educator I have taught developmental reading and writing. I have experience in tutoring middle school, elementary, and college students in English, reading, language arts, education, and math. I have earned a BS of Education in Intervention Speci

I became interested in teaching while I was working at Delphi Automotive. I trained my own staff while I was there. I have chosen to be a teacher because I believe I can make learning fun for my students. I like to relate subjects to each other so that students can see how everything is actually intertwined. I like to use direct instruction, cooperative learning, peer coaching, manipulatives, simulations, and technology. I believe that teachers need to use a variety of methods to facilitate learning. I believe that with my experience I can truly make a difference in the lives of students. I have excellent interpersonal skills and an extensive background in psychology that helps me understand my students. I am presently working as a substitute teacher. I am certified to teach mathematics in 7th to 12th grades. I have recently passed the Praxis II tests to teach science in 7th to 12

Science and math are very difficult subjects to teach at a middle/high school level and relate to things that students identify in their world. Having spent a few years with a career in the science field, I have experience relating hard to teach concepts to things that people do every day. Before tutoring a student about any topic it is important check to see what the student already knows and for misconceptions. When instructing or teaching any subject, I am very patient and understanding. My goal when I become a teacher is to teach in a way that students understand that this subject can become a career and passion for them in the future. Throughout college I volunteered to educate school age children about egg/chick development in schools around Columbus. My first job out of college was to educate children and adults in high need areas about food science and nutrition. I then worked

Patience and listening are the two most valuable parts of my teaching style. No one learns well in a hostile or rushed environment. I believe that the potential is there for all to learn even the most difficult subject matter and it is truly a joy to see the light of understanding shine through a student's eyes. I believe that my education and experience in the disciplines I hope to tutor are just the keys needed to unlock a student's true potential so that they may truly become whatever they want to become in life. I graduated from Morehead State University with a BS in Chemistry and a Geology minor in 1996. I used this degree to obtain work in my field, and outside of my field for the past 14 years. I have strong, hands-on experience with Chemistry principles and have experienced them on a daily basis for over 5 years. I also have experience working in a customer support role and

My degree in physics has equipped me with mathematical, scientific and analytical knowledge. This enables me to comfortably tutor students in many topics within math and science fields. My first teaching experience took place at Camp Powhatan, a summer camp for Boy Scouts, where I was an instructor for two summers. There I taught young Boy Scouts (ages 11 to 18) the fundamentals of swimming, lifesaving, canoeing, pioneering, cooking, and orienteering. I believe students learn better when the instructor makes it clear where a topic falls within the over-arching themes of the class. Students are then better able place new techniques and knowledge in the context of whatever discipline or field is being taught. Classroom lectures and discussion should always be complemented by homework, tests, and quizzes. In fact it is in homework that the bulk of learning occurs. Just as professional athle

I have a Masters Degree as an Intervention Specialist with a with a BA in Language Arts and Math and an Associate in Engineering Technologies with a Math Minor.Presently I am a certified Intervention Specialist highly qualified in all subject areas. Previous experience includes: - Advanced math tutor at Clark State - Advanced math teacher at Emmanuel Christian Academy and Ridgewood School - Computer Aided Design Instructor at the Greene County Career Center (Adult Ed.) My teaching style changes to fit the requirements of the subject and the needs of my students. I find that presenting and explaining works best for language arts and history, concept teaching works best for science, and direct instruction works best for mathematics. I also take into account the learning preferences of my students: left or right brained, visual, spatial, or kinesthetic because each prefers different

I have over time developed a strong desire to teach and to ignite in others the same passion for learning that my teachers ignited in me. I believe that everyone has the ability to understand mathematics regardless of age and that the right teacher can not only facilitate deep understanding but can foster an enthusiasm for the subject that will naturally follow from such understanding. My teaching style is laid-back but focused, and the most important thing to me is to be patient with the student and to provide a firm foundation by ensuring that each troublesome concept is well understood. I find that, with math, looking at a concept from a different angle or providing an intuitive physical example is a boon. As an undergraduate I studied computer engineering with a minor in math. After earning my B.S. I wanted to continue studies and push my career more towards math and physics so I

I enjoy teaching children of all ages, but I prefer to teach children within the middle school and high school ages. I feel that those times are critical to their learning and retention of information. I appreciate what I do or have done when I can see success with a student achieving knowledge within their particular area of study. I am currently a graduating senior at Wilberforce University. When that day comes, I will have a BS in Biology. This degree has allowed me to gain hands on experience within different fields of study along with enhancing my kowledge of the biological sciences and all that it embodies. Also with Spanish, I have not had the experience of teaching but I have been learning the Spanish language for the last ten years (since the sixth grade).
