Life Science is one of my top subjects! Includes various disciplines: invertebrate zoology, taxonomy, organismal biology, evolution, biodiversity, biogeography. Also museum curation and collections management.

Emphasize understanding of concepts rather than test taking skills.
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.

I'm patient and listen to the student to see what they get and don't get about the premise of the lesson. Then we get to it. Careful reinforcement of the Correct method will ensure Remembrance and Results. Also, Lessons must be approached within the context of the Big Picture. Students need to realize that there are no pointless or forgettable sections. Basically, communication is key followed by practice, reinforcement, more practice. Learning can be at pace, but laziness and whining will not be tolerated.
I have a Bachelor of Art in History, predominantly American. I also pursued Engineering for my first year and plan to go back to College. I have completed through Calculus II and am also experienced in hands-on mechanical. I have limited tutoring experience, but I know I can listen and respond. Any experience came from helping others in classes during College.

During my years attending UMass Dartmouth, I recieved my Bachelor's Degree in Sociology with a minor in Business Administration. But I also gained alot of experience working with children. I tutored elementary age students in the star program and college students at my campus job in the Unity House. I also was the coordinator for the New Bedford Speech Academy.

I tutor elementary to high school students in all subjects.
My teaching style is unique to each student's indivdual needs. I take time to recognize my students learning style and provide the need materials or teaching style based their needs.

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, trigonometry, biology, CPR/first aid, GED prep and various adult education classes. I also have 15 years of practical laboratory experience as a laboratory chemist with increasing levels of responsibility.
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, ... read more

My passion as a teacher is working with children. I have a passion for education that I hope to show through my teaching and share with all of my students. I believe every student learns differently and has strengths and weaknesses. My goal is to get to know my student's leaning styles and help them develop their strengths and use those strengths to improve the areas that are more difficult for them. I believe in Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences and I use the intelligences as often as possible in my lesson plans. I believe that there are many ways to learn and some thing that works for one student might not work for all. Through my teaching style, I will help my student's have a passion for learning.
I have a unique resume of teaching experience. I have worked in a number of settings from pre-school to teaching adults. I have taught in public schools, privat ... read more

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 rein ... read more

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 passion and enthusiasm for science and math can make a critical difference for a student, and I know I can be that person.
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 from Endicott College in 2007 with a BA in Liberal Studies, and a concentration in Elementary Education. While there I completed 2 month long internships in classrooms as well as a semester long internship in a 3rd grade classroom. I hold a preliminary license with the MA DOE in Elementary Education.

We serve students of all ages and abilities in a low income urban setting. My range of abilities working with students is vast.
I have a passion for learning, and that carries over into my teaching style. I believe in using hands-on, engaging lessons and activities as much as possible. I have seen first hand how much a classroom dynamic can change when students are engaged in their work. Regardless of ... read more

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, undergraduates and graduate students in problem solving, creative thinking, and scientific writing for publications and textbooks, presentations and grant applications. As a management consultant and entrepreneur I help people stay organized and multi-task effectively – both practical skills for students. Lastly, as a father of 3 in highly competitive private schools, and as a seasoned AAU coach (U12-17), I take great pride in helping students achieve their life’s goals.
My teaching philosophy and primary goal is to first understand and appreciate each child for their unique abilities, strengths and weaknesses, then to channel th ... read more

After graduating with a bachelor's degree in psychology in 2005 I went on to work as a Special Education aid at the middle school level. I was responsible for a ten year old girl with Asperger's Syndrome, which required me to monitor her throughout the day as well as modify each lesson given in each subject. As math was her weakest subject, I was able to develop a a learning system which suite her learning style. I also taught her not only math but every other subject such as science, social studies, grammar, and reading. Throughout college I also worked as an elementary level tutor for those students with low reading levels

I love teaching and working with all children. I am a compassionate and enthusiastic teacher who likes to insure a comprehensive education for the student. I am a teacher who knows her students, curriculum, methods of multi-modal instruction, and state standards. I enjoy the challenge to develop differentiated instruction in order to meet the needs of the student. I am familiar with writing and implementing the IEP, curriculum models and am able to enhance them with additional learning experiences for students.
I began teaching by volunteering in the public school and subsequently was employed as a second grade teacher assistant for a master teacher. After nearly seven years, the opportunity to complete a Master's degree in elementary education became a reality for me.

More About This Tutor...

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 ... read more
