I am currently completing my doctoral research in Biology in hopes of becoming a research scientist. This training has allowed me to familiarize myself with multiple aspects of Biology including basic Biology, Microbiology, Cellular Biology and cancer biology. My duties as a Ph.D. candidate within the lab include oversight and mentoring roles of...

...Wellesley College. I was a dual magnet student in math/science and performing arts at North Springs Charter High School in Sandy Springs. While at Wellesley, I was a statistics teaching assistant for two years. I collaborated with professors to design innovative teaching strategies for students to remember and understand mathematical concepts and worked both individually with students and in small groups. I also was actively involved in Science Outreach and a founding member of SLAM...

I believe that all students can achieve their full academic potential when given the right amount of encouragement and support.... As I have tutored over the years, I have had the opportunity to test my beliefs and values brought to me through my experiences. Tutoring and teaching have allowed for my teaching philosophy to take its current shape. My philosophy is deeply rooted within the Conceptual Framework of the "Transforming Educator." According to the Framework, the Transforming Educator is a teacher who continues to evolve by engaging in processes of understanding, practicing, and reflecting so that they can impact the learning for all students within their classroom. Educators must be able to engage students in learning, collaborate with others and work with students of diverse backgrounds in order to maximize student achievement. In order to be a Transforming Educator, a teacher must engage all students in learning. I teach with the understanding that most of my students are adolescent youth. Adolescent learners are students who learn best when they are provided with experiences which are interactive, purposeful and meaningful. An adolescent I seek to help should receive constructive feedback, feel safe to take academic risks within the instruction, and receive opportunities to self-manage their own learning. A Transforming Educator must also be able to collaborate with others in order to promote student learning. Effective collaboration can be achieved when expectations and requests are effectively communicated with both students and parents in order to enhance student learning. A Transforming Educator must be able to work with students of diverse backgrounds in order to facilitate student learning. Student populations will have a mixture of backgrounds, abilities, and multiple intelligences within the classroom. I believe my current philosophy allows for me to help students reach their full academic potential when I tutor.

...an undergraduate provided me the opportunity to have a great appreciation for Mathematics, Science and Engineering courses. I have been peer tutoring, high school tutoring and mentoring since the age of 14. I enjoy working with organizations to diminish the educational learning gaps as much as possible through tutoring and mentoring, summer camps and college preparatory activities for K-12 youths. My experience with research and qualitative data spans from interning with Proctor and Gamble in...

...and believing one of the best ways to learn is through experience, I have lived and worked throughout the world. In 2003, I was one of only two PSU students to participate in a direct exchange to Paris, where I lived for a year with a French host family, took business courses in French, and interned at an event planning company, which allowed me plan a full event in Barcelona. From 2005-2006, I taught high...

...in addition to my psychology and core courses. My education courses were taken in conjunction with tutoring assignments at local schools. My tutoring experience helped me develop a passion for education; it is exciting to see students learn and grow academically. I believe that all students are capable of learning. I want my students to feel free to ask questions about the material being studied, but also to be challenged by the assignments. My favorite...

...understand the concepts. My favorite ways to learn something are to see examples in real applications and to see analogies in the world around me. Of course, everyone is not like me, so I strive to figure out what works for other students, even if they don't know themselves. In the end, however, even a solid understanding of any subject isn't enough. What it really comes down to is practice, followed by more practice. My...

I am an avid reader and I believe that the greatest skill any of us learns is reading. I also have an ESOL endorsement and reading endorsement, both of which have...

...student's needs. However, for math and science I have found a successful style usually involves finding example, homework, or test problems the student did not understand. After identifying these problems I can review or teach the necessary concepts to the student, then go back and help the student solve the problems correctly. I love the help students understand concepts they struggled with previously! I think a lot of dislike among students for math and science...
