Experience
I earned my bachelor's degree in Biology from the General University of Kansas. When I was there, I began my tutoring experience, having been encouraged by one of my professors to help other chemistry students. That worked out very well for me, and especially for the students I had the chance to work with, so I went on to tutor students in other subjects, including physics, algebra, physical science, and biology. I've worked with college, high school, and middle school students in one-on-one tutoring for more than three decades now. I also obtained my teaching certificate, and have taught mainly at all girls' schools. I also took advantage of the opportunity to teach a forensic science class online, which was a great experience. I have found, through working with students from many different backgrounds, that a commonality all students have is the need for good communication with their teachers, and with me, as their tutor. The parent should also be included in this for students who are still at home. I start by finding out what my student knows already, and jump off from there. I use a variety of teaching methods, working with a student's strengths and learning style to help them achieve the success I know they are capable of.
