Math, Science and Computer help

I would love to help all middle and high school students with their math, science and computer subjects. I am also available to assist adults who need to gain or sharpen their computer skills. I am an expert user of Microsoft Office and have experience in teaching computer subjects such as Introduction to Computers, MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Access at college level. I obtained my BA degree from the University of Pretoria, where I majored in Information Science. I worked as a Paraprofessional in the math and science departments of a high school for the past four years, and have the ability and experience to work with students who struggle with learning and/or behavioral disabilities.

More About This Tutor...

As a first-year college writing instructor, I became aware of the challenges young writers face, such as generating topics, organization, grammatical issues, and lack of writing confidence. I also realized it was essential for me to vary my pedagogical practices in order to meet the educational needs of all students, ranging from English language learners, to individuals who learn better visually, to those who need more hands-on practice. In addition, I also implemented one-on-one coaching sessions and workshops, learning methods that contribute to young writers’ success. Tutors significantly impact student writers with intensive one-on-one instruction. They serve as coaches working with student writers to increase their ability to write successfully in the varying contexts surrounding them. Thus, I believe it is important to provide students with a wide range of resources, including one ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching is a passion of mine. I enjoy teaching students of all ages. I believe that kindness, patience, and understanding are necessary characteristics when teaching students. With the proper motivation and guidance, all students possess the ability to learn. I teach my students with humor and respect. I like to make them feel at ease so they can focus solely on the material with which they need to study and learn. Learning should be a fun and rewarding experience. My students feel good about the progress they have made and look forward to achieving future successes. My goal is to foster independent thinking and help teach students the tools to learn on their own.
I earned my bachelor degree from the University of Minnesota Duluth in Teaching Secondary Mathematics and Secondary Earth and Space Science in 2001. Since that time, I have been teaching secondary classes at the ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching and discovering how to best meet the needs of individual learners who come to the classroom with unique backgrounds, aptitudes, interests, motivations, and personalities. My goal as an educator is to inspire each student to achieve their full potential and to develop a lifelong love of learning. Students describe me as patient, encouraging, and creative in teaching methods. I myself am a lifelong learner and enjoy growing and discovering along with my students.
I am a certified high school teacher with over six years of experience teaching and tutoring in the states as well as abroad. I started college full time at the age of 16 and graduated with an associate and two bachelor degrees before my 20th birthday. I am currently completing a master degree and have maintained a 4.0 grade point average through all 6 years of college. I spent a year living in Mexico a ... read more
