Gretchen's Bio & Tutoring Experience

While studying as an undergraduate I was employed as a science and social studies tutor for high school students for three years. Since then I have had several years of experience mentoring high school students in various areas of environmental science, biology and chemistry. In addition I am currently employed as adjunct faculty at Everest College teaching science and also tutor high school students in a variety of sciences.
I have worked with students from all backgrounds ranging from low income areas lacking text books in schools, to immigrants, to advanced level students in accelerated programs. The majority of my former students have gone on to earn advanced degrees, with several attending ivory league universities.
My previous experience has provided me with the tools and skills to teach students from all backgrounds and have equipped me with the ability to teach material from a variety of approaches based on the student's needs and abilities. I believe that everyone learns and excels in different ways and it is important to find a teaching approach conducive to the student's learning abilities. My younger sister is learning disabled and I spent a great deal of time helping her with her schoolwork. Through that experience, in addition to my other teaching experiences, I have developed many techniques and approaches in teaching.
I am an energetic, passionate person and also have great patience. I believe knowledge is power and I find nothing more rewarding in life then providing people with knowledge.
