High School Trigonometry Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Asheville, NC

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 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 am open to all teaching styles, people learn in different ways so the teaching style that helps you this best is the teaching style I will use. I believe in helping people that need help. So in college I began tutoring and started to do a bunch of community service projects. I have two years in tutoring experience. I tutor subjects such as algebra, pre-cal, biology, microbiology, world religion, psychology and the list continues. I have not had the experience in tutoring chemistry yet, I am currently taking organic chemistry and when I get finish chemistry courses that my college major requires I will begin to be a tutor for the subject. I have earned my A.S. degree I am working on my Bachelor's Degree from Clemson University in Microbiology(Biomedicine). GO TIGERS!!

As a liberal arts student, I was taught to pursue the bridge between science and understanding. My education has fostered in me an appreciation of learning, and a belief that comprehension is attainable through multiple avenues. If a student struggles by one avenue, then I believe it is my job to pave another. A student must be able to not only know an answer, but also understand how they themselves got to that answer. I strive to nurture a love of learning, and try to pass on that passion. I have ADHD and dyslexia, and as such have an understanding of the difficulties that a student can have when trying to learn. For some students, it is not enough to merely teach them, but they must be taught how to teach themselves. I earned my BS in Biology at a liberal arts school. My education has given me a scientific training that is bolstered with an in depth knowledge of the humanities. Through

Since childhood, my hunger for knowledge has driven me to study and learn about almost as much as I possibly could. My high estimation of learning has often led me to help others to learn whenever I can. Always drawn to math and science, I pursued chemistry in college and received my B.S. from North Carolina State University in Chemistry in 2002. In grade school and high-school I was always looked to by my fellow students for help and explanation of many topics. This continued throughout college where I gained a job tutoring at another school and also worked at the study labs of NCSU. Science and math are my passions, but I can help equally with humanities. I begin teaching each tutee by first observing their own approach to studying, listening to their explanations and questions about the material, and indentifying their strengths and deficincies with respect to knowledge of the subject

I am an encourager by nature, build individuals and enjoy teaching. Very patient, easy going, respectful, creative, and try to apply visuals or explain an visual to assist those being taught to understand the subject matter. Always optimistic and upbeat. Try to share enthusiasm I feel in teaching for those to learn. It is always my goal either in academia or ministry instruction, try to broaden ones knowledge, thinking and thought process. Building confidence is key, once one has confidence and encouraged, they learn more and normally thirst for more. I want to make a difference, to help those grow as individuals and students. Being educated and experienced in civil engineering for over 25 years, I have through those years mentored and taught interns. Currently unemployed and considering acquiring teaching certificate to permit me to teach (K-12) math. Experience in teaching adults

I began tutoring informally about 15 years ago, by helping classmates in my high school algebra, trigonometry and calculus courses. Since, I have gained experience in group & private tutoring settings and have worked with students of all levels of understanding, as well as those with developmental disabilities. While earning my BS, MS and PhD in Mathematics, I worked in other aspects of education- as a teaching assistant and instructor, both at the college level. Currently I am an assistant professor of mathematics and during the school year hold open tutoring hours in the college’s Enrichment Center. I have taught/tutored extensively in mathematics (from middle school topics to college senior level courses) as well as some physics topics. With the many different learning styles of students I try to be dynamic in my teaching, to adapt to a particular students’ needs. In tutoring mathem

As a fellow during my graduate work at Indiana University, I taught undergraduate courses focused on helping students improve their written and oral communication skills. While pursuing a double major during my undergraduate years at the University of Notre Dame, I served as a university tutor, helping students in chemistry, communications, English and Spanish. Additionally, I have served as a volunteer for Head Start, a national government program that provides learning opportunities for preschool children from disadvantaged families. I have worked with children as young as three years old; at the same time, I have taught 30- and 40-somethings returning to the classroom for the first time in 20 years. Each child learns in a different way. I enjoy finding what works for each child. In the current state of education, children often find themselves burdened with an exorbitant amount of wo

I'm most interested in tutoring on the high-school or college level, but I do have experience teaching young children as well. I believe that the biggest impediment to learning a subject is anxiety, often from a bad classroom experience, so my approach focuses on beginning at the learner's level and making sure to check every concept before moving on to the next one. This works. I offer a patient, learner-focused teaching style that is able to use a broad variety of examples and experience from everyday life and my experience to illustrate points. I'm practiced in complementing a primary teacher's style to fill in gaps and get results. I have an enthusiasm for language that, I am told, is infectious. I have Bachelor's Degrees in English & Spanish, a Master's Degree in English, and am rated 'advanced low' on the Arabic Oral Proficiency exam. My Spanish training includes 42 college l

Today's learners enjoy a more relaxed and informal style of teaching. I strongly believe students should not feel intimidated or hesitant to express their feelings about their knowledge of the subject matter. My desire is to develop a sense of confidence in their ability to understand and to tackle new problems and topics. I have 2 children in school and enjoy helping them become the learners they truly are. I earned a B.A. in Mathematics at UNC-A and completed one year of graduate school in Mathematics at UNC-CH while teaching Pre-Calculus at the university for 2 college semesters. I completed all coursework to sit for the CPA exam and successfully passed the exam in 1994. I am currently working on a volunteer basis for the Asheville City Schools Foundation as an Academic Coach and Mentor in Math at the Asheville Middle School.

As the son of two life-long public educators, the importance of a quality education has always a major theme in my life. Upon entering college I choose mathematics as a major due to the proficiency I have always had in the subject. During my studies I realized that I had an innate ability to not only grasp and understand difficult mathematical concepts, but also to explain them to others. Thus I began to tutor fellow peers and other scholastic students in subjects ranging from Pre-Algebra to Calculus II. I have continued tutoring for the last two and a half years. I am a huge supporter of the idea that anyone can learn anything that they desire. With that being said, it seems that there should be no problem with students learning mathematics; but there is. Many children have no desire to learn mathematics because they see no relevance for it in their daily lives. I very much enjoy

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 sequence. More recently, I have privately tutored students in Statistics, Calculus, Algebra, and GRE preparation in Asheville, NC. 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 any

My teaching style is based on patience and the understanding that not everyone understands mathematics the same way. As such, I attempt to explain mathematics slowly, simplistically and by focusing on the general concepts. I believe this enables the student to understand the material at their own pace. This also helps foster an environment where the student is given sufficient opportunity to ask questions and stay actively involved in the learning process. I have had extensive experience tutoring in group settings as well as tutoring individuals. While attending community college and working, I tutored for high school students preparing themselves for college in group settings. Since graduating to the university level, I have been tutoring students and individuals from the community on a one-to-one basis. Thus, I am able to understand the dynamics of what each person needs most in order

I maintain a high level of patience in dealing with other people. During my studies as an undergraduate and in veterinar school, I have gained extensive knowledge in many subjects. Combined, I have nearly 300 semester hours of biological science course work completed. I am familiar with laboratory procedures and the different styles of writing required for various reports. I also have superb knowledge of what is expected of early studenst to gain entry to and succeed at the higher education level. My teaching style revolves around helping the student rationalize the information. I believe it is highly important the student learns to differentiate between the subjective and the objective, providing them with the tools that they can utilize for the rest of their educational and professional careers.
