A Little Bit About Me...

Engaged style that is geared towards personalization to the student. Teaching method can range from following along in the book, or with working on problem areas (depending on needs). I enjoy not simply teaching how to do it, but the why and how it works.
- Five year tutoring experience. - Tutored all ages, from basic arithmetic to Algebra 2. - Taught several math classes, but majority of experience with one on one tutoring. - Taught a variety of students with numerous math needs, helping achieve better test scores, easiest and faster homework, quicker arithmetic calculation, and helping math to not be such a daunting subject.

I believe in being hands on and visual, many students have problems in math and science because they are unable to visualize the words written in their books. I am extremly organized so that my time is best spent on the most difficult areas for each individual student.
I have a BS in Biology and Genetics from North Carolina State University. I have recently taken a refresher course in Anatomy and Physiology to go back to school for radiology. I have taken college level math courses through Calculus II, I have taken General Biology, Microbiology, Biochemistry, Organic Chemistry, and multiple courses in Genetics. I have helped tutor in high school for the Chemistry AP exam and helped fellow students in college.

Competent Math Tutor @UNC Asheville. Have your child excel.

I am employed as a Math Tutor at a company in Asheville. Before this, I lived in Raleigh where I worked for several distinguished companies as a Math Tutor. I have taught SAT Math prep at Cary Academy during the last two summers and at Roxboro Community School where I worked primarily as a Spanish Teacher.
I like to use examples and cater my lessons to what the student needs to work on (i.e. homework, test-prep). I also differentiate my style based on whether the student learns best through audio, visual, or kinesthetic means. I am a great listener and am able to identify where the student needs help and how to best bolster their academic ability and confidence.

Effective, caring tutoring from an experienced tutor

I have been tutoring in math since I was in Jr High. Initially my students were sisters and brothers, then nephews and nieces, and finally I began tutoring as a second career. My background includes 30 years as an engineer and engineering manager, as well as teaching math at the community college level and volunteering as an adult literacy tutor. I love applying math to real world problems, and I do my best to come up with pertinent examples to help a student learn a new concept.
I summarize my approach to tutoring with "3 E's": Enthusiasm, Engagement, and Encouragement. I try hard to make each session fun and to engage the student in seeking the solution, rather than just teaching him or her a method.

I enjoy teaching very much. I am a very patient person and more than teaching the students I like helping them figure things out by themselves. I always try to create "real life" situations for them to use the knowledge acquired instead of making them solve abstract operations.
I have a BS in Cybernetics Engineering. As an engineer, my knowledge of math and physics is high. As a student I solved so many operations involving calculus that I memorized the formulas and used them as fast as the multiplication tables. I am a native Spanish speaker. I was trained as a language teacher by Berlitz, one of the best language centers in the world. I have a certificate in Drama. I worked for a private elementary school as a drama teacher for 2 years.

I hold a bachelor degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing. I majored in Elementary Education for two years before I switched majors. I started a master degree program in International Relations in 2009 and decided to return to school in the fall for a master's degree in social work. I have experience in private school and public school systems. I completed course hours for college in public school systems as well as working for public and private schools.
I have experienced various types of teaching styles while in school. I have learned a long the way every student is different and learns in a different way. In high school and all even through college math had always been my hardest subject. My second year in college I had a math professor that had a different approach to teaching math and for the first time in my life I finally understood math! Findi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

In all my varied teaching situations, I strive to make the material exciting and relevant to the students. I am a lifelong learner too and my curiosity about the world encourages students. I have always gone above and beyond with preparation time to find interesting texts, thought provoking guest speakers, and games to diversify the classroom time. When possible and relevant, I take kids outside for hands-on experiences. As a parent, I have developed more confidence for guiding children to discover things for themselves. I encourage questions and also observe children to see how they might best learn so I can adapt my approach accordingly.
Most recently, I served as faculty for a study-abroad program in Tanzania for Earlham College. In addition to implementing all programmatic activities, I designed and taught a rigorous conservation course. Quality education has always been ... read more

I have worked with a large spectrum of skill levels & motivations, & have developed skills to meet all levels. I have extensive experience working with learning disabled children, & many of my strategies are geared to diverse learners. I have mainly tutored upper level/motivated students, but I try to fuse my methods together. I discuss problem solving techniques, word problem approaches, patterns, non-calculator skills, & vocab in order to promote self-confidence and understanding of their weaknesses/strengths. I encourage them to ask questions, interrupt for clarification, & to feel comfortable with me. I am known amongst peers as having excellent rapport with students of all social groups, and being respected by them, not just liked.
I graduated Brandeis with degrees in Psych. & Engl./Amer. Lit, with a Sec. Ed. minor; I also was a TA for a humanities course as a senior. Tho ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a high school student, I was very active in extracurricular activities. I participated in the rotary club, volunteering at local soup kitchens. I was also a member of the Newspaper, Quiz Bowl, Robotics Team, soccer and baseball throughout my high school career. Through volunteering at the Boys and Girls club, I was turned out to tutoring students in Algebra and Trigonometry. I spent my Junior and Senior year tutoring students in these areas of mathematics.
I think that in today's public education system, with ever-growing class sizes some students get thrown to the wayside. These students need a more personalized learning plan that offers them head-to-head or small group discussions. I can relate to the child who remains silent because he doesn't think his question is smart enough. Subsequently, that child starts getting left behind little by little until they feel completely lo ... read more

Attending UNC Asheville helped me to realize the irreplaceable value of a passionate, knowledgeable, and empowering teacher. After I received my minor in Mathematics, I applied to become a math tutor for a high school student. I have tutored this student for a year and a half now in Math, writing, and Spanish. Also, throughout this last semester of my undergraduate career, I participated in a Peer Mentor Program through UNC Asheville in which I taught, with a Literature professor, both in and out of the classroom.
I enjoy teaching students of all ages and academic experiences, whether it is the high school student who doesn't want to attend school anymore or the most avid learner in the university setting. I truly believe that every person is capable of learning if they are presented the material in a way which can motivate them to internalize the value of an education. I do not th ... read more

I enjoy teaching students at all age levels and abilities. My approach to learning is "hands-on." I include materials that are relevant to my students' lives to improve their understanding of the subject. I also strive to make learning fun, as I believe learning is a life-long endeavor.

I approach every student as a unique individual with his or her own struggles. In general, I teach mathematics in a direct and simple way. I do not treat the subject as a game or a bag of tricks. Once the fundamental concept is understood, then I push the students knowledge of applications. However, it is sometimes helpful to open up topics with simple examples. I believe anyone can advance her or her knowledge of mathematics with only a little patience and a larger amount of eagerness to succeed.
For the past seven years I have studied mathematics. Most of those years were spent at Wichita State University. I received my M.S. degree in mathematics while studying dynamical systems under Christian Wolf. I worked as a graduate teacher by instructing courses in Algebra, Trigonometry, etc and by tutoring in all mathematics courses offered at the university through the Calculus s ... read more
