I have been in Education for over 20 years. Most recently I have been a substitute teacher in all subject areas and grade levels. I have a strong Science background and I am a published author so I am proficient in Reading/Writing. For the past 10 years I have taught K-8 students computer applications across all disciplines. For instance, utilizing EXCEL in Math lessons, or using WORD or POWERPOINT to promote Language Arts skills (Writing, Drafting, Editing, and Publishing). I have several years experience working with autistic and other developmental disabilities in children. I very much have a "hands-on" teaching style. I am a visual learner myself, so my teaching style reflects that methodology. I explain the concept, demonstrate the process, reintroduce the steps and then allow my students to practice, practice, practice while offering guidance, suggestions, and positive reinforcem

I am a recent graduate of the University of Rhode Island with a BS in Wildlife Conservation Biology. My academic background includes much coursework in biology, chemistry, physics, other sciences, and math. I won a scholarship due to my high GPA in the sciences, and was also a Coastal Fellow - doing a research project with the Audubon Society of Rhode Island and presenting my results in a scientific poster during a special presentation. I graduated With Honors. I have also worked as a teacher and have taught math and science to both high school and middle school students. I believe understanding of science and math is essential in today's world. I also believe this understanding is not beyond the grasp of any student, as long as they are given patient instruction, the relevance and importance of the subject is provided, and interest is suitably generated. I believe an educator with passi

I have a lot of patience which allows me to take my time when going over a concept to a student. I never feel the need to rush or come back to a topic later. I will cover it thoroughly. As an undergraduate student I double majored in Biology and philosophy. Biology has provided me with a strong understanding in chemistry, biochemistry, ecology, evolution, and physics. Along with that, my philosophy degree has provided me with the ability to clearly communicate my ideas to another person.

With normal class size groups... the goal is to provide a lesson with real educational content but to deliver it in a totally entertaining format... usually organizing the students into groups to a) provide support for the challenged and b) excitement for the total class as each group competes against the others. one-on-one teaching requires that the objective(s) be well established and then carefully focus on the individual student's best learning method, be it: verbal, written, reading, hands-on, or all of the above. In general a good teacher will be well planned and offers a delivery which teaches in concentrated bursts, with a brief break every 20 minutes. Over 20 years of engineering experience, primarily, automated electronic test for manufacture of electronics. Over 2 years of Masters level engineering in bone density measurement, spectroscopy and neutron detection

I have a desire to see others succeed.After I received my Bachelor's degree in Biology, I went on and achieved my certification in Phlebotomy also. While working toward my certification in Phlebotomy, I served as a tutor for my fellow classmates. I liked it so much that I went on to achieve a Certified Tutor Level (I) certificate in math and sciences. At the Community College of Rhode Island I was employed as a tutor for such courses as Dosage Calculations for Medical Administration, Biology, Anatomy and numerous Math courses. I have been told many times that I made the difference in a student's life. I never cease to be humbled by those words. To me,there is no right or wrong teaching style. I have worked with students of all ages and academiic levels. I believe that after I have met a student and had the oppurtunity to get their feedback on what they like and dislike about the s

I truly enjoy teaching. I am very easy going and I can make subjects easy to learn. Since I have an engineering background, I have the tendency to break complex problems into smaller parts. This makes it easier for the student to follow through. All my students in the past have enjoyed learning from me and I am certain that this will not change. I truly believe that anybody can learn math and science; it is a matter of time and perception. In other words, at what angle can the student learn the subject at hand and how quickly can the instructor find the student's vantage point. While pursuing my Engineering degree at Roger Williams University, I noticed that there were not too many students from low income families attending college. That is why I joined Bridge to Success Program on January 2001. BTS was a program, sponsored by Roger Williams University at the time, which focused in assi

After graduating from Rhode Island College in 1976 with a B.A. in Secondary Education and major in Biology, I took a teaching job at Bishop Feehan High School in Attleboro, MA. Here I taught classes in Biology, Chemistry and Environmental Science for 5 years. I then returned to Rhode Island College where I earned a Master of Arts degree in Biology with specialization in Microbiology. During my graduate work I assisted in the laboratory sections of their General Biology and Microbiology courses. Upon graduation, I took a job at the University of Rhode Island in the Microbiology department and, after 2 years, started a new career in the Diagnostics industry where I remained for 22 years before being laid off. I enjoy working with students and helping them learn what can sometimes be difficult concepts in the scientific disciplines. I believe that all students have the ability to under

For as long as I can remember I have always loved to teach. I enjoy helping others learn new material as well as gain from them ways to cope with different learning styles and comprehension levels. I have experience with all age groups from 6-7 yrs to 18+ yrs. I exercise patience and understanding as I have learned that everyone's learning style is unique. I am an easy person to work with and I believe that one can learn anything with the right amount of care and dedication -- two main qualities that I strive to provide to each student. I love working with numbers and figuring out solutions to challenging problems. Earning my degree in Computer Science has allowed me to do both of these as well as provide me with extensive knowledge about computers. It has allowed me to enhance my skills in both math and science. Since high school I have tutored students in basic math, Pre-Algebra and Al

To teach is to "impart knowledge or skill to somebody by instruction or example" while education is defined as "to develop mentally, morally, or aesthetically especially by instruction". I aspire to be an educator, as defined above. While I believe in the content of the sciences, I am interested in evoking the thought process to utilize the scientific method as a problem solving technique applicable to all areas of life. Through life, didactic specifics of chemistry may wane, but the development of thought PROCESS -- that, to me, is true education. On a personal level, I use humor and positive energy that reinforces my strong belief that everyone has the ability and the right to learn. I have 9 years of experience in teaching chemistry and physics at the high school level. Additionally, extensive experience teaching/tutoring a myriad of other subjects, such as, earth science, algebra
