A Little Bit About Me...

If a student has interest and confidence, she or he can learn anything! I am enthusiastic about what I teach, and I let students take the lead in solving problems to build independent skills and confidence. I am also a firm believer in understanding HOW things work, not just THAT they work--I combine problem-solving strategies with an understanding of why those strategies make sense.
I'm a recent graduate from Brown University, with experience tutoring at the middle school, high school, and college levels. Math and Biology are my favorite things to teach--I love the subject matter and I love to see it "click" with students. In math, I received an 800 score on the SAT, and a score of 5 on each the Calculus AB and BC exams. I also tutored algebra as a high school student. I'm currently studying up on everything from Trig to Calculus II so that I can take a Multivariable Calculus c ... read more

Marine Biology is one of my top subjects! Conducted five weeks of research focusing on the green crab in Edmunds, Maine. Presented Research at the Eastern New England Biology Conference.

I understand that everyone learns at different speeds and require different tequniches to fully grasp a subject. I feel it is important to identify a students unique learning style, and elaborate on it in order for him/her to reach their full potential. I focus mainly on repetition; practice makes perfect!
I am a recent graduate from Suffolk University with a degree in Biology and a focus in Marine Science. While obtaining my degree, I completed multiple relevant courses including General Biology, Marine Biology, Biology of Fishes, and Comparative Animal and Physiology, all of which I feel comfortable tutoring. Last summer I was a a course assistant for Field Botany, a three week intensive course in Edmunds, Maine. My duties included supervising 13 students in the field, guiding students on educational hikes, tutoring students in their studies, assisting students with their individ ... read more

Marine Biology is one of my top subjects! Also freshwater and aquatic biology.

I have work experience as a wildlife biologist and ecologist specializing in rare and endangered species research and conservation. I also have expertise in natural history collections curation and management having worked at three natural history museums over the course of my career. I am comfortable teaching in a traditional classroom, home, or in the field in an outdoor setting.
Emphasize understanding of concepts rather than test taking skills.

More About This Tutor...

I have tutored students with a wide range of abilities and realize that they have different and unique learning styles. As such, I use a wide variety of teaching methods to reach as many students as possible. By the time students are in their 3rd and 4th year, my teaching style is based more on discovery learning. I provide a framework and act as a guide as my students search out solutions for themselves. I try to encourage my students to be critical thinkers and not passive consumers of information. I draw a connection from the material discussed to current events in the news, and place the material in a historical and cultural context so the students have a broader understanding. I often reflect back on the teachers I have had - the ones who made a positive impression - and what I liked about them. They had a sense of humour, presented material in an interesting way, neve ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I've have always enjoyed working with children of all ages, and find that each child is unique. Each one learns in their own way, and one of my greatest strengths is being able to discover how each child learns best. I am a patient, easy going and perceptive person and believe that I can help any student get the most out of their education. My goal is to become a teacher because I love imparting enthusiasm and knowledge to children; I want to have the opportunity to be a positive role model and influence children in a positive direction, much like the teachers I had while growing up.
I am currently studying to become a High School Biology Teacher and will be taking the Mass. Test for Education License in May 2011. In 2009 I joined AmeriCorps and worked for the Mountain Studies Institute in Durango Colorado. While I was there, I held educational workshops, presentations and forums. ... read more

I believe that that goal of education is to understand the world around us, not to merely memorize facts. I tell my students all the time that I do not want them to memorize anything, but I want them to understand the concepts so that they can logically figure out the answers and apply their knowledge to the world around them. To achieve comprehension, I use engaging activities and discussion, hands-on learning opportunities, and visual supplements to help my students learn. I also believe it is important to learn and apply study skills to each subject in order for students to meet their full potential. I am passionate about engaging and motivating students and love working with students for whom learning does not always come easy.
In addition to five years of experience teaching high school biology, I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology and Secondary Education and a Master’s ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I really love teaching and finding different ways of using analogies and similarities to explain difficult concepts. I have been very successful in teaching the sciences and mathematics courses in an understandable way. I believe that everyone is capable of learning the material, it simply needs to be presented in the correct way. Some students are more verbal learners, others are more visual learners. I use plenty of paper to demonstrate ideas and draw diagrams to help make the material more understandable.
As an MIT graduate, I was particularly driven to excel in science and mathematics courses so as to be able to apply these to engineering and technology problems. I subsequently obtained two doctorate degrees: one in medicine and the second in law. I am currently working on the development and patenting of medical devices to improve medical care for patients. ... read more

My teaching philosophy and primary goal is to first understand and appreciate each child for their unique abilities, strengths and weaknesses, then to channel those abilities toward a better appreciation of the practical value of science and math knowledge. Learning comes easiest when students find benefits to knowledge. Each assignment represents a short term goals, building a student’s confidence with each successful completion. I find by encouraging students to avoid distractions, focus and manage their time effectively, it is much easier to make significant progress on difficult teaching concepts and retain knowledge .
I can offer a student a broad educational perspective with a Ph.D. in the medical sciences and 18 years experience in the Biotech industry. My teaching experience began on the faculty at the UMass Medical School (1993-1999), where I tutored high school, unde ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a BA in Microbiology and an MA in Zoology. I have 7-8 years experience teaching biology, ecology, microbiology and environmental science at the college level. In addition I have many years experience in software engineering, technical writing, software quality assurance, and technical editing.
In the classroom I rely on traditional lecture, supplemented by Powerpoint presentations, animations, and lists and diagrams on the white board. I usually assign a research paper. In the last few semesters I've implemented through Blackboard some online testing, as well as tutorial "homework" quizzes, where the students get feedback directing them to coverage of particular sections of the text. I always try to make students aware of how the detailed, technical concepts of the moment fit into the "big picture," making references both to material previously covered and to material y ... read more
