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.

Life Science is one of my top subjects! Certified biology teacher with dual degrees in secondary education - biology and in animal science /. Pre-veterinary medicine. I have extensive background knowledge in a variety of biologically based classes such as genetics, anatomy & physiology, and ecology. I have also taught 9th grade biology and 7th & 8th grade general science.

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.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching and working with children of all ages. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I would love to be a part of your child's academic success. Not only am I patient, easy going, and kind but I am determined to do whatever it takes to get your child to stretch for their maximum potential. Although learning math and science require doing practice problems, I will be looking for the best way to teach and motivate the child according to their natural tendencies. The right teacher can make a huge difference in the education of children. I pledge to do my best in all of my students' lives.
I am a graduate of Purdue University with a degree in Engineering. Not only have I excelled in math and science throughout the educational process, I also did very well in all other subjects, never receiving less than a 'B' letter grade in any class. More impor ... read more

Read More About Patricia M...

I graduated Cum Laude from Ball State with a double major in Visual Communication and Genetics. Both my parents were teachers and I often tutored my friends. I taught Swimming to children every summer for from 2001-2005, so I have experience with young children having a hard time paying attention. I have strong skills in science and math.
I like to work one-on-one with students. I can get a better feel for their learning style and therefore teach for that specific student. I like to teach by relating the subject to real life situations. All students can learn anything, it just sometimes takes a more personal approach before it really clicks. That is what I want to provide for a student.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am an advocate of hands-on teaching whenever possible. Praise works wonders in getting results from reluctant learners. I am patient and empowering as a tutor, and attempt to discover the best methods for each individual student's best learning possibilities.
I have been teaching children since 1990, when I worked as a Naturalist for the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. I did this kind of education for 3 years. I then created my own educational company and presented workshops on natural resource topics for children and adults from 1997-2002. More recently, from 2006-09, I worked both as a substitute school teacher and a contract tutor. I am presently presenting weekly tree programs at my local Boys and Girls Club.
