Marine Biology Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Tucson, AZ

I graduated at second to the top of my High School Class. I have a 4.0 GPA with ASU. I believe in being strict about studying. I believe in taking education seriously. Why have to back track? Many people could easily get good grades without applying studying or being in class. I always worked very hard to organize studying techniques and times so I understand the challenges that students face a lot of times. Caring and Loving. Visual, providing examples in a real-world context. Teaching in a style that the student understands best!

As a graduate student at the University of Chicago, I was responsible for leading introductory core Biology labs, which covered an array of concepts in biology, statistics, computer usage, and experimental design. Because lab reports were frequent requirements, I also was able to improve skills as a writing tutor I had already developed as a writing tutor (paid student position) in the Writing Lab at Towson University. I also have taught a remedial study- and life-skills course for students on Academic Probation at the University of Arizona. Finally, in my capacity as Academic Advising Coordinator at the University of Arizona, I interacted in a one-on-one capacity with students to develop their intellectual, academic, and career interests. An understanding of the student and his/her background, strengths and weaknesses, and motivation is key to successful learning. This student-centered

As an avid student, and one who continues to pursue greater education, I have found that those who do not continue his or her education will most likely not succeed in the business world. Since graduating with my BA in 2005, I have received 3 promotions and 3 pay increases totaling over 150%! I was a Full Charge Bookkeeper less than 3 years ago, and have served titles as Junior Portfolio Accountant, Lead Portfolio Accountant, Senior Portfolio Accountant, and finally Controller since graduating in December 2005. I have not only helped tutor fellow classmates during my education tenure, but I myself am currently a student striving for my Master's in Business Administration and Accounting. My teaching style first begins with getting to know and understand where the student stands in the specified subject, his or her needs of the subject, and then determining his or her strengths and weaknes

After many years as a Wyoming rancher and three years as an ESL volunteer, I returned to school to become an ESL professional. With my Master of Education degree in hand, I taught a year of ESL classes at Cochise College, then became the Adult ESL Coordinator for Northwest College in Powell, Wyoming. My career path led other directions for several years, then I had the opportunity to return to education as a secondary science teacher in two charter schools. My years as educator have been the most interesting and compelling of my career, and now semi-retired, I'd like to continue part-time. Every student can learn with motivation. Most of my classes were self-paced, and I had great success in motivating students of all types. My most recent position was teaching science to at-risk high school students who averaged 4th grade levels in reading and math. Every participating student earned cr

My teaching style is Socratic in method. I have learned a large variety of techniques to help teach some of the most basic to the most advanced concepts to a large audience of students. I like to mold my teaching style to fit with each individual student. As a teacher of special-needs and emotionally handicapped children, I have learned techniques that make me a formidable teacher in any environment, so long as I am familiar with the material. I work hard for my students, and am not willing to have them do anything that I would not do myself. I attended Northern Arizona University, whereupon I fell in love with sociology. I have a firm grasp of basic and advanced sociological concepts, specializing in historical analysis and research methods. After school, I spent my time working temporary jobs, and found one that I thoroughly enjoyed. At Wyko I aquired a set of technical skills t

I'm a very passionate chemist who has experienced various real-world applications of chemistry hands on. My diverse experience on the subject would enable me to share my enthusiasm with anyone eager to learn. As a native Spanish speaker who went through the struggle of learning English as a second language and having taught ESL in Japan to various age groups, I am the ideal candidate for helping someone acquire the language skills they need. During my year in Japan, I worked teaching eight lessons a day. Each lesson was planned to meet the specific needs of my students so that we could target their weaker skills and approach the lesson from their level. I enjoyed seeing my students (aged three years to fifty years old) progress and master the material presented in each lesson. I enjoyed my teaching experience in Japan as much as I have enjoyed many years of teaching Sunday school.

Working as a tutor has given me the opportunity to demonstrate great leadership among my peers and students while creating a positive environment. During my experience as a tutor I was able to incorporate knowledge that I obtained in my field of study, into my many tutoring sessions. I have also been able to utilize my techniques and skills learned throughout college as an aide to helping students succeed in their education. I have become quite familiar in the areas of chemistry, biology, microbiology, and parasitology and have been able to utilize my knowledge in these subjects to enhance my tutoring skills. I have tutored kids of all ages and backgrounds in just about every subject ranging from English to college math. One of my many passions in life is working with kids, specifically tutoring them. I have found that it is easier to tutor a student when they know that they are surround

I graduated with a BS in Biology and a minor in Chemistry. During my college experience at the University of Arizona, I have participated in two programs that allowed me to teach a wide variety of students of different backgrounds and different ages. I have worked with children as young as four years to 16 years of age. I taught Science-based lessons (Entomology and Marine Discovery). Also,I have tutored high school students in English and different levels of Math. Furthermore, I have an interest in English and literature as well: I have been on a Publications staff for about three years, and was also the youngest editor of the school for about two years. I am eager to help students of all ages and backgrounds. I have had experience teaching that is inquiry-based but have also taught in a more factual style with lecture. I believe that each student has a different style of learning, and

My forte is science and math, which are often students' least favorite subjects, due to earlier difficulty. A solid basic understanding of these subjects is critical to being an independent, engaged adult; and it's just plain cool to understand how the world works! I enjoy removing the fear and guiding the students to increase their competence and self-confidence. I am funny, enthusiastic and know how to use the student's background as a "hook" to pull them into the subject. I have a BA in Psychology, MS in Zoology and BS in Computer Science. I have lifetime Arizona Community College certification in psychology, biology, ecology and remedial math. My experience with special populations includes: three years full-time on the Navajo Reservation; three years part-time at the SALT Center at the University of Arizona working with learning disabled students; and a hands-on nature camp for d

Teaching comes naturally to me; I believe that everyone has the potential to be successful, given the right opportunity. Persistence, mutual admiration, and effort are the qualities that I bring with me, and they are all that I ask of the students that I work with. My goal is to make learning less of a duty and more of a stimulating quest, so that I may leave my students with the inspiration to continue learning throughout their lives. As a student, I had the chance to participate in the Americorps program, where I developed and implemented programs for at-risk youth. My programs encompassed but were not limited to, ecology, animal husbandry, writing, reading, and the arts. Since then I have earned two bachelor's degrees, a BA in Education, and a BA in Elementary Education, with minors in communications and liberal arts.

I feel that my style of teaching is student centered. I am a facilitator to the learning process. Any student who chooses to learn can and will, however some students need more motivation than others. Thus, I take the time to hear about and understand what my students know and more importantly do not know and want or need to know. I also want to know how my students learn best before I start teaching them. In a general classroom setting, I try to ensure I do something for all learners. However, in a one-on-one setting, I am able to tailor my explanations to that student's learning style. Therefore not only helping the learning process, but also encouraging the best that they can do. I became interested in tutoring and teaching as an undergraduate. I began as a basic chemistry tutor, but quickly worked my way up to a lead tutor position. I then took on the responsibility of being

Any tutors goal is to guide a child to a learning experience within that childs comfort zone. An educator, with a calm and patient demeanor can lead a child to their goal. Laughter and discovery are the heart of educating any student. My goal is to lead a student to his or her potential.
