...can obtain a career that doesn't feel like work. My name is Malik Laidlaw and from my beginning stages of school I vowed to pursue the life of an educator because I knew from an early age that a student can only become as good as the teacher motivates them to be. I stand for understanding, simply because you wouldn't leave an artist to paint if the artist didn't understand the purpose of a brush.

...and Calculus. My students covered the range from those heading to the Ivy League and those At-Risk of dropping out. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to work with such a diverse group of students and subjects. I went to University of Michigan and Eastern Michigan University, graduating with a double major in Math and Physics, with a strong engineering emphasis. I have spent the past 10 years working as a Project Manager in...

...sharing knowledge about biological sciences with students. During my time as a graduate student at James Madison University, I instructed an introductory biology laboratory course each semester and mentored five undergraduate students on their research projects in a microbiology research lab. I enjoyed working with my students in a structured classroom setting; individually during office hours; and one-on-one in a microbiology research lab. In addition to teaching college students, I also was a classroom aide...

...for encouraging others to understand the world through math and science. I think it's vitally important to remove the intimidation factor associated with mathematics in particular. In my current position as a network administrator I spend a lot of my time explaining complex systems and applications so that all users have a working understanding. The majority of this work is one-on-one instruction. I look forward to the opportunity to give students that extra insight they...

My name is Aprill and I would love to be your tutor. I have over 10 years of teaching experience and I absolutely love to break down Chemistry to the basics. Too many people are afraid of Chemistry and my goal is to make Chemistry a people-friendly experience. Contact me and you will learn what you need to know.... The glass is half-full. If someone doesn't understand the subject matter, you give them a people-friendly version of the problem to solve.

I am a Middle School Science Teacher. I am dedicated to my students and their success. I have a B.S. in Biology and an M.T. in Secondary Education from VCU. ... I believe that there are struggles and inequalities in our society that can only be alleviated through education. It is my philosophy as a teacher to provide students with the skills and tools they need to succeed in a rapidly changing world that is often cruel and unfair. I believe that many of the aspects that make a great scientist can be incorporated in the classroom, which will create an effective learning environment. Some of these traits include the ability to observe and discover, the ability to create and innovate, being engaged with your work, being safe in the laboratory, and encouraging others to take part in your work. It is important for me to observe my students in order to discover things about their personalities, their personal struggles, how they learn, and what their interests are. By learning these things about my students, I will be able to help them discover how the world works by creating lessons that interest them and pertain to their lives. I believe that it is important to continue to reflect on my lessons, modify them, and do research to find new innovative ways to teach more effectively. Being innovative in the classroom is a trait that I can pass on to my students. Every student has the ability to create, think critically, be innovative, and be inventive if given the proper tools. By using new teaching methods and new technology tools, I will be able to provide students with the skill set they will need to succeed in our technology-based society. In order to make students excited to learn, I must walk into the classroom excited to teach. I also need to make sure that what I am teaching is engaging and will keep the students' interests and attention. Engagement with material is a crucial part of retention and understanding. In order to make engaging lessons, I will have to learn about the students' lives so that I can incorporate things that affect them personally but also relate to the curriculum. It is also very important to create a safe working environment when working with chemicals or breakable materials. This idea of safety can be transferred to the fact that it is important to create a safe atmosphere in the classroom that will make the students feel comfortable with coming to school and will allow them to flourish in their academic setting. Providing a warm environment where students are allowed to express their feelings and struggles is a vital feature of a safe classroom where students will want to come to learn. Scientists often encourage and influence each other's work to promote further scientific investigation. This is a practice I will implicate in my science classroom in order to promote further scientific learning. Encouraging students and reinforcing their successes and hard work is a practice that I will use in order to promote positive feelings about learning and performing in school. It helps students who have negative connotations about school or about science to think differently and see themselves as someone who can be successful with hard work and perseverance.

...in lower-division subjects, such as basic biology and chemistry, and also upper-division courses, such as immunology, molecular biology, and quantitative biological methods. My favorite subject is biology, but my in-depth knowledge allows me to appreciate the chemistry and physics involved when analyzing biology materials. I have over a year of tutoring experience, which includes working at Lake-Sumter State College in a certified learning center, as well as independent tutoring in college chemistry. I have tutored...
