Fred M.
Private tutor in Calgary, Canada
Education
I have an extensive educational background. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Plant Science and Ecology and a Master's of Science in Soil Science from the University of Saskatchewan. In addition, I attended the University of St. Thomas, Houston, and earned an Alternative Certification-High School Composite Science. I am a licensed professional educator in agricultural and environmental sciences with the North Dakota State Board of Education. I also hold an appointed science chair at Wimbledon Public School.
Experience
My experience includes teaching science at Wimbledon-Courtenay Public School. During that time, I taught students in grades eight through twelve. I am an associate teacher with the Houston Independent School District. I am also a Special Education Assistant for the Calgary Board of Education. I passed the TASP and Test of Educator Standards with very high scores. I like working with adolescents and motivating them to pursue higher education. I have taken numerous courses from algebra and geometry to biology, French, and more. I am the author of four published scientific papers. Two of those papers are in collaboration with other scientists.

Hobbies
I respect the ideas, suggestions, and opinions of others, irrespective of age; and willing to reach consensus and mutual understanding. I love soccer, reading, and watching nature. My teaching philosophy is to find out what a student already knows(n), in a given subject area, before adding increments of new knowledge(n +1+2+......+ etc.). A constant check for understanding and feedback is required to confirm that knowledge has occurred.
