I completed all course work for a masters of physics at University of Alabama at Birmingham, only lacking the thesis. G.P.A. at the end of the course work was 3.65. Along the way, as I finished the graduate course work (and in order to pay the rent) I did ad-hoc tutoring with a number of undergrad students along with a more formal semester of 'coaching' a class of undergrads in their regular physics class. This entailed going over problems with them, showing them how to correctly formulate solutions. On top of this, I worked, formally, as a graduate teaching assistant for 2 years, and I taught in the Birmingham public schools (high school level) as a physics teacher. All told, quite a lot of teaching involved with all levels of students. My teaching style is easy to describe; I consider myself a 'coach' and as such I don't (and wont) give the students the answer to a particular prob

I enjoy teaching and helping students learn something new and am willing to be patient with any leaner until he has mastered a new skill. I believe that all children learn differently. Therefore, teaching a child using the learning style in which they learn the best is the key to academic success. I have earned a BS in Chemistry and a Minor in Biology. Over the past two years I have tutored students in chemistry and biology as a professional tutor and on a volunteer basis. Through my research experiences on the UAB campus I have gained valued skills in drafting research papers and scientific reports.

For the past fourteen years, I have been a dedicated and enthusiastic elementary teacher in the Alabama public/private schools. I earned a Masters degree in Early Childhood Education with a GPA of 3.9. I have many hours of professional development training in a variety of subjects such as technology, reading interventions, math investigations,writing curriculum and research based programs. Providing students with a positive environment and a developmentally appropriate curriculum has been rewarding.I know how to make learning skills/concepts fun and meaningful to the learner. Most of all I enjoy helping students and families achieve academic success. I am a kind, considerate, respectful professional with a love for teaching. Effective teaching means evaluating the student many ways such as observing,using research-based assessments,running records, and written work. Also, it is necessary

Children are one of the greatest joys in life because I get to watch them learn and understand the world around them. Children are sponges that soak up all the knowledge present to them. My teaching style is hands on. I want children to learn not just by a book but by practical application. When children discover material through experiences they are more likely to remember and be better prepared for life. I am driven by knowledge, the more knowledge I have the more I can relate to people from all walks of life. I have always been fascinated most by science and psychology. I studied biology, chemistry and psychology in college and earned a bachelors degree in Psychology. Through this I have acquired grammatical skills on how to write research papers and lab reports. I taught a study tactics course for a year and a half that focused on chemistry. This gave me the advantage to not only t

I've always been a highly focused and disciplined individual in regards to academics; ever since high school I've taken a serious liking to chemistry and math, not only because of their importance in daily life but also for the mental challenges they pose. During my time at the Hazleton campus of Penn State University, I had the opportunity to tutor other students in these two subjects. I was well-rounded by the time I finished my ChE degree, having gained valuable experience from using computer software, writing lab reports, and collaborating with others on research projects. I've never lost my enthusiasm for teaching - I still enjoy going online at Yahoo Answers and assisting people across the country with problem solving. Few things bring me more personal joy than helping others become better learners and seeing them smile when they overcome their struggles. I never use a one-size-fit

I do not have a particular teaching style because I don't believe that a single method works for everyone. Therefore, I operate from an Occam's Razor perspective -- whatever is the simplest solution is the best. I believe I am very empathetic and perceptive, which would enable me to determine what works best for each student. Admittedly, I have no direct (structured) teaching experience. However, I have nearly five years of experience in the journalism field, and during that time I've mentored a number of fledgling college and high school journalists. And while journalism and political science are my two specialties -- given that I have degrees in both -- I also have a fair amount of expertise in the tangential fields of English and History.

As a mother of two young children, I want to see all children exceed. Children learn through positive reinforcement and by slowly building confidence, as his or her work improves. Childen should not be made to feel inferior, but need approriate teachings to fit his or her personalities. All it takes is a little confidence to start off with, keep encouraging and praising, and this can be achieved when the tutor works with the child based on his individual strength to learn. Each child is different, and building rapport with the student and having him or her undersand we have all been tutored in some area of school- it doesn't make you 'less smart', but rather smarter.

With my degree and certification, I am highly qualified to teach students in grades K-6 in all subject areas. In addition to my degree, I received training for AMSTI and ARI which are in use in many schools statewide. I have a great deal of experience working in inclusion classrooms. Having taught students in each ability grouped program of education, I am aware of the importance of adjusting teaching methods for each student. Beyond my experience in an elementary environment, I have been tutoring high school and college students beginning 9 years ago. I have experience tutoring high school and college students in Algebra I & II, Trigonometry, Chemistry, and Geometry. I feel very comfortable tutoring adults and children alike. As a mother and a certified teacher, I enjoy teaching, tutoring, and working with students of all ages. Through receiving my teaching degree, I recognize the impor

Many students struggle with relationships and well as their academics. I believe in creating a safe, nuturing environment were a student is able to work at his own pace, at his own level, and feel a bond with his teacher. Setting realistic and obtainable goals with the student is a key factor to success. Measuring and documenting progress allows student, teacher, and family to see a visual record of growth. Addressing multiple intelligences and multiple learning styles are essential for struggling students. Finding a student's best mode of learning increases self-esteem and time on task. I have 20 plus years of teaching experience. I have worked with students from pre-school age to adults. I have taught students with a variety of disabilities and functioning levels from severely impaired to gifted.

My teaching style is interactive. I believe in fully engaging the student in the teaching-learning process. Students are more receptive to learning when they take ownership in the educational process. I am very patient and goal oriented. I know all children can learn and if given the proper set of learning conditions they can achieve educational heights that often surpasses their pre-conceived notions of learning barriers. Knowledge is power and I seek to aid and assist the learner in harnessing that power so as to become a life-long learner and ultimately a productive citizen. For twenty-five years I successfully taught a comprehensive curriculum to elementary students (grades three through eighth). My areas of academic interest are: Language Arts, Mathematics and Social Studies. I had an opportunity to visit several countries I taught in social studies (i.e., West Africa (Ghana a

My teaching style really is centered around the type of student I am helping. Some kids need a visual experience where others need a lot of repetition. I first get to know the student and figure out how they learn the best and then I go from there. I am very patient and understanding and will do whatever it takes to get the student to reach their potential. As a graduate from Auburn University and a post graduate now at UAB I have a very driven personality to succeed in life and pursue high goals for myself. I came from a less challenging background, (high school) and I know that it is a competitve world out there especially for kids in the science and math fields. I know that my background in science and math has given me the skills to help others in math problems, science questions, ways to study for this type of material and also how to write laboratory reports.

I enjoy working with students of all ages, although most of my experience has been with middle school age and older. I use a couple of different techniques to help students understand math, including using visual aides, problem solving techniques, role reversal (where they explain a lesson to me), blackboard/whiteboard work, and games. I believe it's really the responsibility of the tutor to understand the student's learning style and adjust the teaching to fit the learning style. I have tutored students in math and science (mainly math) for over 13 years. I have helped students in various levels of mathematics - basic math, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and pre-calculus. After working with me on a consistent basis (2/3 days/week) many of the students have received honors in their math courses, including "Most Improved" and "Highest Average". I am also proud to say that a couple
