Medical Genetics Educator

I am able to curb my teaching style around the learner's learning style. I have experience in all forms of teaching.
I am a certified genetic counselor and received my Masters in Medical Genetics/Genetic Counseling from the University of Cincinnati. I worked as a Clinical Research Coordinator in Cincinnati for two years while taking courses towards a Masters in Secondary Education in Biology. I have taught students of all ages including freshman in high school and undergraduate college students in genetics. I specialize in anything medical genetics related including molecular genetics, cytogenetics, risk assessment, psychosocial counseling, ethics in medicine, cancer genetics, prenatal genetics, adult onset genetic disorders, and pediatrics (which includes metabolic disorders, cardiovascular genetics, chromosomal conditions, etc.).

My comments on tutoring Genetics : I have not only taken several courses in genetics (including independent study of the genetics of development), but I have taught a basic genetics course. I have also tutored many students in various areas of genetics.

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

I have worked in academia researching gene therapy for diabetes, in a clinical lab, for biotech companies as well as managing genetic testing for clinical trials. I love science in general, genetics in particular :) and understand how difficult it can be to learn complicated and complex subject matter. I would be happy to help you along your science journey.

I am very much a hands-on instructor. Long ago, I heard the Chinese Proverb “I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.” These words embody my personal teaching philosophy. I utilize a varied and balanced set of teaching strategies that will meet the needs of all types of learners. First, I determine the student’s preferred learning style (auditory, visual, or kinesthetic) and tailor my lessons accordingly. I then try as much as possible to make our lessons as relatable to the student’s likes and interests. Let’s face it, when the work is difficult and doesn’t relate to anything practical… what’s the point? When I am able to incorporate real-world examples and applications, students respond and things start to click!

I believe that science has a undeserved reputation for difficulty as a subject that is directly related to the inability of many teachers to "break it down". Science can seem to be like a foreign language to the uninitiated, but at its essence science is simply a way of thinking about the world and asking questions. Several themes appear again and again in concepts that on the surface may seem unrelated and it is recognizing these themes that is the key to success in building knowledge and confidence. My teaching philosophy is to point out these common threads binding various topics in science and relate it to the real world as quickly as possible, always with the goal of breaking it down to its simplest explanation.

Inquiry- I want the kids to learn through inquiry. Figuring out a problem through experimentation and critical thought of outcomes. I like to start with the basics and go from there. For older students, college and adults, I teach them study skills and notetaking and then go over the subject matter that they learned in class,
I have tutored my own children and have taught them to think cr itically and I tutored for 2 years as a Grad Assitant. I have worked in the Biological Science field for many years and I really enjoy teaching kids about science and it's impact on society

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a bachelor degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry, which has allowed me to gain a deep understanding of both sciences. I was also a Mathematics tutor at Florida A&M University for about two years. I tutored everything from grammar school mathematics up to Calculus II. I have also tutored my fellow classmates in the field of Biology.
What makes me a great tutor is my patience and understanding of a student in need. I believe all children are capable of success but sometimes may need a little extra help to get there. My teaching style is one of comparisons and analogies. Sometimes students just do not understand the mathematical terms. For this reason, I compare problems to something the student is familiar with, allow them to see the connection to the problem at hand and then guide them to solving the problem. This strategy has proven to be very successful and I'v ... read more

I love teaching because of the happiness I feel when I am able to help someone understand a subject that may have appeared impossible to them before. It is truly honorable to be able to utilize my talents to help others. I believe that to be a successful tutor/teacher, you have to be patient and able to see things from the perspective of your student and I am able to do these two things very well. Education is the way to the future. A child can be anything and do anything that may seem impossible with the right kind of educational support behind them.
I have earned a bachelor of science degree in Chemistry which has helped me to have a deep understanding in many areas of science and mathematics. In addition, I have extensive writing skills due to the many laboratory reports and research papers I had to write during my undergraduate education. I also had experience working wit ... read more

As an undergraduate student I was always in the top ten percentile of my math, chemistry and biology classes, and as a result, I tutored fellow college students in those respective subjects. After earning my bachelor degree in biology, I worked as an educator at the South Carolina Aquarium where I taught interactive classes to kindergarten, middle school and high school students. I also worked for the Leadership Development Program at the College of Charleston where I co-facilitated student leadership classes. And most recently, while in graduate school I held a teaching assistant position and tutored freshman and sophomore college students in topics related to international development.

A Little Bit About Me...

Science, and in particular, Biology, has always been a passion of mine. It is my professional goal to increase the science literacy level for my community by sharing my experiences and knowledge with students at the high school level. In addition to completing the course work required to obtain a Biology Education degree, I have taught in a pilot school for a standard based curriculum in which units were presented in nine-week segments, allowing for quarterly benchmark assessment of student achievement. The design was used to support teachers in the implementation of assessments and teaching-learning activities relative to the Georgia Performance Standards (GPS).
I have teaching experience in Anatomy and Physiology (honors), Biology (honors and on-level), and Life Science (honors and on-level). I have served as an AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) and America Reads tu ... read more

I have earned a Doctoral degree in Medicine and a Masters degree in Public Health concentrating in Epidemiology and Bioststatistics. As a research scientist, some of the subjects that I had to do well in were math, biology, chemistry and physics. I supervise various levels of our staff and have been told by my peers that I am a good teacher.
I enjoy teaching and tutoring others. I am from a family of four, and as the eldest child I tutored all my siblings in science subject areas were they had difficulties. I like to help kids that have an interest in science. I try to instill the enjoyment I have for the subject.
