I am a University of Chicago graduate in English with a minor in Environmental Studies. I have always had a strong interest in and affinity for mathematics and the sciences, particularly Earth Sciences, and I am very familiar with Environmental Law in particular. I particularly enjoy reading (thus the English major) - poetry above all - and playing chess (for which I am also available as a tutor).

I have two bachelor degrees, one in computer science, the other in mathematics with a type 09 cert (6-12). I belong to Mensa and the NCTM, and have excellent English and decent Spanish speaking and writing skills. I have taught and tutored in mathematics and computer science for quite awhile, and I earned a 95% on my PSAT and a 32 on my ACT.
Generally, I'm a constructivist, and I believe the best method of tutoring is providing a completely individuated scaffold for any student. While I was raised in old-school education, I believe that some of the newer techniques of education through hands-on, the use of digital technology, and through writing across the curriculum are effective for many students.

Teaching Philosophy: Every student has equal opportunity to succeed if provided the necessary resources to motivate and guide him or her, regardless of status. It is my philosophy to tailor my instructions to the level of my students. It is my demeanor to patiently listen and respond to every student concerns or questions so that everyone benefit from the content of my instruction.
My degrees- BS in Math Sciences, MS in Statistics and MA in Economics, have provided my the solid background in mathematics that would benefit my prospective students. In the past, I've tutored math and science in extramural classes in Nigeria and also taught about 5 private students during my undergraduate days. I've had the opportunity to teach high school students during my national service. My teaching skills were further honed by my experience teaching graduate and undergraduate classes ( ... read more

I have no absolute teaching style that would apply to all students because I feel that each student is a unique individual with their own specific needs. There for it is much more important to adapt individual lessons and teaching strategies to each student individually in order to capitalize on the strengths and weakness of the individual. I prefer to tailor my lessons to each individual situation in order to achieve the most beneficial and desired results possible in order to achieve predetermined goals.
I am a recent college graduate from St. Xavier University where I recently received a BS degree in mathematics. I am currently pursuing a graduate degree mathematics at UIC. I have over 5 years of tutoring experience. I have worked as a freelance tutor for years as well as for local business and organizations.

A Little Bit About Me...

While pursuing my honors degree in mathematics at the University of Chicago, I supported myself through numerous tutoring jobs. I have taught mathematics to students of all ages and abilities, including college-level calculus, set theory, logic, number theory, trigonometry, geometry, algebra, and arithmetic. I have also tutored my fellow students in various topics of physics. While conducting several research projects in pure mathematics, I spent the summers teaching public school teachers in Chicago new ways to improve their classroom instruction. I also have extensive experience in the humanities. My second degree is a BA (honors) in film theory, which is complemented by many classes in philosophy, literature, and art history.
The advantage of one-on-one tutoring is the productive, personal relationship that arises between tutor and student. As a tutor, I use this relationship to ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As an Electrical Engineer, I am very capable in all areas of Math and Science. I have tutored family memebers for many years in these subjects and have acted as an independent contractor for high schools in the area as well. I feel my approach to the subjects and personal disposition, make the subject matter easier to grasp. My college level courses gave me a deeper understanding of all math related topics, which makes it easier to convey these topics in understandable terms.
I love to see people grasping the simplest approach. I begin with an overview of what, exactly, is the goal and why we are doing it. I feel step by step methods, with easy to remember techniques, are best to achieving the final result. "Hands on" is definitely the approach, once the goal and methods have been established. Reiteration and practice help make problem solving achievable, and reasonably fun.

I believe that all students learn different ways whether it's visually or verbally. I believe as a upcoming educator, it is up to us as teachers to find out which way of teaching works best. I am a very hard working, hard driven person that makes sure that the student understanding of the concept comes first. I am a very patient person and will make sure that I make learning fun and interesting.
As a recent graduate from Illinois State University, I have learned different types of math. I have earned my bachelor degree in Mathematics and am currrently working on my MA in Secondary Education for Mathematics. In addition, I have tutored, taught a class, and observed for over 30 hours in Mathematics.

Teaching and having one-on-one training, I have learned that each student learns in his or her own unique way. This takes patience, being creative and also to motivate either a student or an entire class. With my experience in operations management I have had the ability to share my experience as a leader and teach one-on-one on computers, systems on the job and with One Point Lessons. One Point Lessons is less than 15 minutes of one topic on a sheet that illustrates what is addressed. This is a topic that can be on systems, installations, the functions on a machine, cleaning methods and it is usually prepared by operators, supervisors and management.
I have found an approach that have been effective in a classroom or group activities that has encouraged active participation in the learning process. A successful individual or a student learning experience grasps an understanding of ... read more

I schooled at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, IL and received a Bachelors of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering due to my exceptional mathematics skills. I am a highly talented mathematician or a superb mathematics scientist because I have been intensively studying and exploring mathematics since the age of 2 that by the time I was 10 years old, I already understood calculus! I have made several discoveries in mathematics that have never been discovered by anyone else and due to my math skills, I am also a Math and Physics tutor at Richard J Daley College, have 2 years 9 months of experience there and have always received exceptional feedbacks and appreciations.
I tutor mathematics by professionally and enthusiastically assisting, challenging, and persuading students in maximizing their abilities to proficiently relate and utilize mathematics concepts and for ... read more
