As a graduate of a 'Public Ivy' institution, I have had a very well-rounded and intensive education. I earned two degrees from IU: a BA in Spanish and a BS in Biology and Chemistry. My experience involves subjects such as: Biology, Genetics, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Chemistry (General and Organic), Analytical Chemistry, Physical Chemistry and Physics. I have had many students that were of the middle school, high school, and college levels. I also have some experience tutoring elementary-aged children. In all, I have between two and three years of experience. While I enjoy working with a younger population, I have had more experience with middle school, high school, and college students. I am very patient and easy-going, but I also expect that my students perform the tasks asked of them in the time given, as to further reach our goals. I have a descriptive way of teaching, but I am al

Teaching is a calling which I have loved all my life for which a variety of techniques and strategies are required as each child learns differently. Adaptability, love of learning and children, organization, patience, knowledge, and consideration are all necessary qualities to be a good professor, teacher, or tutor. Good educators do make a world of difference in the process of education, no matter what level of learning. I have been teaching for twenty-nine years in subjects of English, Literature, Art History, Drawing, World Civilization, and the Humanities. I have earned three degrees, a BA in Social Sciences/English, a MH in Humanities, and a PhD in Fine Arts, which have enabled me to teach a variety of areas. Throughout my teaching career I have taught research, essays, and grammar skills. For the past year, I have tutored students in English and Social Studies in the AVID Tuto

I have four years experience as an Associate Instructor of Political Science and Political Philosophy at the college level. In this capacity I frequently tutored students individually, helping them to grasp complicated concepts. Many students struggled more with the basics of term paper writing than the material itself. I was able to help them improve their academic writing skills significantly. Students learn better when they see the relevance of the material they are studying to their own lives. In many subject areas this relevance is not obvious, and students may tune out as a result. I always use concrete examples that students can relate to when explaining a concept. For example, when discussing paternalism with college students I will often cite government regulation of tobacco and alcohol use to illustrate how the concept translates into laws that directly affect them. I am eas

I am a very patient and considerate person which I believe aids in helping all types of students. I try to help the students find their own success without spelling everything out for them. I believe that I can make even the smallest difference in a student's educational pathway. I am a recent graduate from Kent State University and have a combination of two very different subject areas. I have earned a BS in Biology (Molecular Concentration) and a Minor in Spanish. My minor in spanish has aided greatly in my overall grammatical skills and writing research papers. A few science classes that I have taken that shows the variety of subjects are:Cell Biology, General Microbiology, Vertebrate Anatomy, Immunology, Molecular Biology, Organic Evolution and Writing in the Biological Science. Over the past two years I have been a mentor/tutor for the Science Learning Community at Kent State and ha

I have learned that the best way to teach is to let the student know how much you enjoy the subject and then work to make them feel the same way. I also know that you cannot predict what methods will be best for all people. I prepare extensivesly with sample tests, worksheets, as well as fun learning activities. When it comes to the tutoring session, I am not uptight about my style, I can sense when a method is or is not working and then use any or all of the methods that help the student retain the knowledge. When that happens, you know that there will not be much of a need for you anymore, but it is a great feeling to help someone enjoy learning as much as I do personally. I have tutored students for many of the college science classes. I have also been a tutor for an elementary school in Bloomington. I am also an experienced test prep tutor, having helped students prepare for ever

I love teaching and working with all children. I believe that all children can learn, but each in their own unique way. My life has been based on a respect for people of all ages and abilities. Based on this, I believe that teacher and student in any situation can stand to respect and learn from each other in different ways. I believe in having an open, positive discussion in order to develop knowledge in specific areas while enjoying the experience. I believe that a good educator can change the world through the education of a child. I strive to do my part to help students develop himself or herself to realize potential. As a college graduate from a private, liberal arts institution, I was very much driven to achieve high levels of excellence in many areas of the world of education. I have earned a Bachelors degree in finance, which has enabled me to have a great understanding of many

I love helping others overcome obstacles to understanding, and showing them that they have the ability to do what they thought was impossible. I believe in building upon a solid foundation so that the student really learns and understands the concepts of a subject (and doesn’t just shoot for a passing grade). I like to discuss the material and include additional background information because that helps make the subject more interesting. Where formulas, memorization and/or calculations are involved, I will explain, practice, check for understanding and practice again. I believe that I am a patient and enthusiastic teacher who has had many satisfied students in the past. I worked as a synthetic organic chemist at Eli Lilly pharmaceutical company for five years. I spent the next 20+ years as a stay-at-home mom and homeschooler, teaching my three children from kindergarten until they gr

I began college as an engineering major, so I have background in advanced mathematics and physics. I went on to change my major to psychology where I gained knowlege of social and behavioral sciences, as well as research technologies and statistical analysis. Since graduating college with a B.A. in psychology, I have worked as a psychology researcher, accounting assistant, and in 3 different roles for an international pharmaceutical company. Through my job experience, I have gained knowledge in different business disciplines and areas such as Lean/Six Sigma and Supply Chain/Logistics planning. I love teaching all ages and skill levels. I adjust my teaching style to the individual - some people are visual learners or oral learners or hands-on learners. I teach by example and try to encourage my students to understand "why" rather than just "how."
