Experience Summary
I started tutoring in high school for extra credit. I have primarily tutored in mathematics and general chemistry! I tutored a girl in Algebra 1 for a year, helped my best friend and her Mom with college mathematics, and worked through college algebra with my husband. In college I was a teachers assistant for general chemistry 1 and tutored in quantitative chemical analysis. Since then I have tutored a gentlemen for the math portion of his GED. Basically, I love the one-on-one opportunity to help people to find that "light-bulb moment" where the math and science is no longer torture, but instead it makes sense! :)
Teaching Style
Very much based on working with what the student knows. I tend to start by having them explain to me what they are doing and what they think. I then provide some guidance and walk through a sample problem with them. I ask that they try another problem like it on their own and ask questions to prompt them as they work.
My Hobbies
Playing at parks, building snowmen, traveling around the continental United States, and hanging out with family!
Other Comments
I rather enjoy tutoring and have primarily done so on a volunteer basis, but now as I look to better transition into married life I am looking to supplement my income with what I love to do! Please feel free to call me with tutoring needs outside of this site! I tutor via skype, phone, and also in-person! :)
