Experience Summary
I have a bachelor's degree in computer science. This helped me out also in math, since the requirements for the degree required many math classes, including 3 calculus classes. I have tutored and helped students with math before that were a junior high to high school level. I also have lived in a foreign country where Spanish was the native language. I was a computer instructor for a year, teaching high school students Java, C#, Visual Basic, Web design and SQL.
Teaching Style
I believe everything needs to be broken down into pieces. It makes tackling larger problems a lot easier. First, I start with definitions/terminology. This is a necessity to begin learning other concepts with any subject. Second, any rules, equations, procedures or the "how to" come into play. The learn how to use the definitions or formulas they learned. Third, examples are necessary. Thought provoking ones which allow the students to follow a clear path of logic to understanding important concepts.
