In addition to my degree in physics and electronics,I have several years of experience working as a scientist/researcher. I have also been a teaching assistant for graduate students while at MSU. Even though I have not taught in a classroom,I volunteer several hours a week tutoring kids at the local library.
I enjoy teaching children. I encourage questions from kids while teaching, believing that there is no such thing as a 'silly question'. I also believe that students have different learning curves and a good teacher can bring out the best in every child.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love working with all types of children and young adults. I love being able to see them grow and learn new concepts and ideas. I am a very patient, fun, loving person who will show your child compassion and give them the best education possible. I am able to work around the child's individual needs and learning styles in order to obtain the best education possible.
During my college years at Carthage, I tutored several of my classmates for a variety of classes throughout the years. I have earned my bachelors degree in Biology and am familiar with Chemistry as well. I enjoy teaching and helping others and seeing them succeed in their academic careers.

I have earned a BS and an MS in Aerospace Engineering. My most recent coursework was focused on Aerospace Propulsion systems- work which relies heavily on my background in Math, Physics, and Chemistry. I have always been a teacher at heart. It was often to the detriment of my own homework completion rate, as I would be much more interested in both solving the problems and helping my classmates understand how it worked that I was concerned with getting the solution written down for myself.
My teaching style is entirely dependent on who I'm teaching. I try to prod and ask leading questions, while also looking for how it is I can relate the subject matter to the student. I consider it a failure of mine if I am ever forced to recommend a student memorizes something that they ought to understand on a deeper level. I consider it a great success and point of pride when I find a new way to ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a recipient of higher levels of education, I know the career opportunities that such an education opens up later in life. And I am motivated to share my knowledge and inspire others to access those opportunities as well. The first thing I do is to determine the level of learning that a student is open to and start there. That helps me to adjust my teaching according to the needs of the students. I am a patient teacher and I allow the students to reach their potential through gentle guidance.
Obtaining a Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering has exposed me to advanced courses of Math and Science, two subjects which have always fascinated me. I have pursued and achieved excellence in these areas all through my school years and my post graduation career as an industrial engineer has only advanced my knowledge in these areas. English language has been a strong interest of mine ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a compassionate person who will do whatever it takes to help students succeed. I always encourage my students to ask as many questions as they need to so that they have a firm understanding of the material. I love seeing the growth in the individual student. Students who have had me as a teacher report that they thought they were incapable of doing math but after taking my course their confidence has exceeded their expectations.
I am a certified 6 - 12 Secondary Mathematics teacher. I have been teaching for 10 years with my last four being at the college level. I have been awarded the Who's Who a number of times. I just received my master's degree in mathematics from Marquette this spring.

A Little Bit About Me...

I began teaching and serving as an Advisor while still an undergraduate at Shimer College. I was given the honor of designing and teaching advanced tutorials in the Humanities. I also created and taught an Introduction to the Philosophy of Science. More recently, I have been an established substitute teacher serving in the History and English departments for 3 years at New Trier. I have a unique ability to engage students, either providing in-depth lectures or guiding them in the direction of their interests or toward possible solutions of their topic. This past summer I began tutoring students grades 1-9 in Reading and Mathematics as the teaching Supervisor of a summer school/camp program. I am now currently certified as a K-12 Substitute Teacher.
My passion is developing the full potential of my students by providing them with the skills that foster the ability to solve pro ... read more

More About This Tutor...

In my view, education is an ongoing process. I believe successful learning is mutual between teacher and student. In my view it is also imperative to foster a culture of respect in the classroom, to stay true to the subject matter, and to keep up with new developments in the field. But at the same time, I advocate being somewhat slow to embrace every new teaching trend since they may come and go. Finally, as a professional educator I endeavor to treat students/parents as clients and other teachers/administrators/ staff members as colleagues. True education as way of life never ends!
In the mid-to-late 1980s I led workshops and served as a chaperone for U.S. and international foreign exchange program students aged 16-19 under the auspices of American Field Services (AFS). Then in the late 1980s and mid-1990s, I taught the basic speech course (public speaking) at several urban ... read more
