Biology is one of my top subjects!

My teaching style is very individualized based on the needs of the student. Some students need frequent breaks to be able to focus in for 15-20 min at a time while others can stay engaged for an entire hour.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that every person is able to learn, if they want to. You can't make someone learn if they have no interest in it. I try to establish a reason for learning with the student. My first child I tutored is a perfect example. This boy was 14 years old. He really enjoyed carpentry. He hated math because he didn't realize that it would help him with what he loved. With the relation of math to his carpentry he was able to come from a low "D" to a low "B". It worked becasue he was able to mentally visualize and apply it to his carpentry. I feel the other key to his success is that we set the realistic goal of one letter grade of improvement. The extra letter was the icing on the cake.
As a Junior in college I made the decision to become a teacher. The decision was based on the observation that a majority of teachers are over worked and don't have the time to provide the ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Soon after graduating the Vet Med Faculty and obtaining my DVM diploma, I started a career in university teaching at the same faculty, in the Department of Genetics. Between 1991 and 2002, I held a Teaching Assistant, Instructor, and then Assistant Professor position. I assisted and instructed undergraduate and graduate students in classroom and laboratory settings, revised curriculum and graduation requirements for the students, and created materials for lectures, seminars and final exams in Genetics. Also, I conducted and participated in interdisciplinary research projects and managed a laboratory for the diagnosis of genetic diseases in animals. Beginning July 2002, I worked in molecular genetics research at Iowa State University, and then for the past 4 years, in cell and molecular biology research at University of Iowa. During all this time I have tutored students in genetics, biolo ... read more

I don't have a style. When I left high school in rural Iowa I was told I was retarded and would never even be able to write a check. At age 38 when struggling through Iowa State my chem teacher sent me to be tested for learning disabilities and I had multiple learning disabilities but an above average IQ. I don't teach I allow the student to learn in an environment where they are listened to, talked with(not to) and treated like they have value and worth. I treat them the opposite way I was treated. And when they do well we cheer together!
I tutored for two years at the Iowa State University Tutors Office, Iowa State University, Ames, IA. I tutored anatomy, physiology, biology, zoology. I taught for one year at Graceland University, Des Moines, IA
