I have studied, worked, and taught in the biological sciences for almost twenty years. I have taught 9th grade biology and 7th and 8th grade general science. I also have experience tutoring children in both group and individual settings. My areas of personal greatest interest is genetics and evolution.
I am a hands on type of teacher who uses inquiry to help students learn. My method is strongly based on the modeling style of teaching. To inquire more about modeling, you can ask me or go to the American Modeling Teachers Assoc. Website.

My comments on tutoring Life Science : My education includes two degrees in the life sciences. My first one was animal science / pre-veterinary medicine. The second was secondary education with an emphasis in biology. I teach biology and have had plenty of experience in many of the biologically based sciences like ecology, genetics, and anatomy and physiology.

I am a certified modeling teacher. Modeling is a "hands on" inquiry based style of teaching. I teach through allowing the students to deal with a given problem or scenario. I then use extensive amount of questioning to help the child to use their logic to solve the problem. This not only teaches the science material; but it also helps the student to learn how to think logically and to ask themselves the right questions. In other words, I don't just teach the material, I teach students how to think critically in a way that not only helps the student to learn the science, but also in other areas where critical thinking is needed to help understand and solve problems.

My teaching style is to involve the student at his or her level of knowledge and to encourage them to succeed on a personal and professional level. I encourage competence and confidence at all levels of math and science working with the student to remove any math or science-phobic areas that they may have.

I have a B.S. degree in Biology from Indiana University in Bloomington and I also have an M.B.A. I worked in the environmental field for 15 years prior. I bring in real live work experiences to the job. I taught 1 year at Providence Cristo Rey Highschool as a biology teacher. I taught grades 9/10. I attended Marion University under the Action Licensure Program and still working towards a license.
As a biology teacher, I work very hard to get the students attention and interest in learning new topics in biology. I utilize various teaching methods that encourages a differentiated learning. I understand that children all learn differently and have different ways of learning and retaining information. I am big on modeling and giving examples for the students to apply what is being taught. The environment in which the student learns is important and it's also important to give the stude ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My core values are integrity, compassion, loyalty, commitment and dependability. I take pride in integrating these character qualities into my curriculum. I love the Direct Teaching Method, which speaks directly to a child's Learning Style (visual, tactile, auditory, etc.) I start out a session with an activity to capture the child's attention. The guided lesson in reaing, writing, math and language arts is conducted through comprehensive explanation and demonstration. I use games, manipulatives, story mapping, flashcards, just to name a few. I conclude the session with a check for comprehension and a discussion with the parent/guardian.
I am currently a substitute teacher in three school corporations in Hamilton/Boone Counties in Indiana. I am beginning my fifth year as a private, in-home tutor for children grades K-8. I have served in Zhitomir Ukraine, working at a camp for child ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I truly enjoy working with children! It gives me great worth and value in enriching the lives of the children I come in contact with. Building the self esteem in children, and developing rapport with my students has proven to give me an upper hand in achieving growth in the academic areas I tutor. I firmly believe in meeting the child where they are at and growing from there. I also believe in making learning fun! The tutoring experience should NOT be one of drudgery! When children feel they are cared for no matter their shortcomings, they succeed. When learning is made enjoyable, they succeed. That is why I know I make a difference in the lives of my young students: I become not only a tutor, but also a mentor, a friend!
Being that I have graduated from both Concordia College and Ivy Tech Community, I have found that I am well prepared in providing services to young children. I ha ... read more
