Experienced Earth/General Science Teacher For Hire

Elyse W.

I am passionate about helping students not only understand their academic material but also develop the confidence and skills they need to succeed. I hold a Bachelor’s in Geology from Castleton State, and a Master’s in Education from Long Island University where I gained both theoretical knowledge and practical skills in earth and space sciences and the foundations of education. This background has allowed me to develop a well-rounded approach to tutoring, ensuring I can cater to a wide variety of student needs.

I have been tutoring for over 15 years, working with students ranging from middle to high school across various science subjects, including life science, earth science, and general science. My experience includes both one-on-one tutoring and small group sessions, as well as volunteer teaching roles. I’ve also taught in a public school classroom settings, which has helped me refine my ability to manage diverse groups and tailor lessons to individual student needs.

My teaching philosophy is centered around active engagement and building critical thinking skills. I focus on breaking down complex concepts into digestible parts and using real-world examples to make learning more relatable and enjoyable.

I am particularly skilled at tutoring science because of my background in geology and public education. I have worked with a variety of students with different learning styles, from those needing extra support to those seeking enrichment. Whether a student requires help with catching up on missed work or improving performance for a standardized test, I tailor each session to meet their specific needs and goals.

My years of experience have taught me the value of patience, clear communication, and adaptability. I am excited about the opportunity to help students grow academically and feel confident in their abilities, setting them up for success both now and in the future.
