Hello, my name is Lauren and I absolutely love tutoring! I have tutored since I was in high school (about 5 years of experience total)and more recently have worked as a Peer Tutor at Westminster College, as well as teaching private voice and piano lessons. As a biology major, I'm most experienced in science and math related areas, particularly general biology, general chemistry, statistics, algebra, and geometry. I am also very qualified to tutor ACT and SAT test prep, as I scored extremely high in all areas of the two tests, earning a 34 on the ACT and a 2190 on the SAT. I'm also qualified to tutor in several humanities areas, especially writing-a skill strongly emphasized by Westminster's intensive and selective Honors Program. I have also taken AP tests in English Literature (5), Human Geography (5), European History (4), and American History (4) and IB tests in English (6) a

I focus on the learner. Students learn in a variety of ways, and I respect their personal learning method. Generally, I ask questions to guide students through processes. Also, I treat learning as an active process, so I do what I can to keep them engaged in the study. I like using concrete examples from real life, and making it interesting for the student. When a student is learning, I'm happy. So I keep them learning. Since junior high, I have tutored those who needed it. In high school, I helped put together a tutoring program at a nearby junior high and elementary school, in addition to my continued tutoring of classmates and friends. I graduated from the University of Utah in math education, following a 6-month student teaching experience at a junior high. From 2008 till now, I've been a substitute teacher, teaching in junior highs and high schools. And I've kept up my tut

Since the summer of 2001, I have been teaching college courses in the junior college level. I have taught Psychology, American History, Geography, Strategies for Success, Critical Thinking, Economics, Let's Talk Business, and Basic Mathematics. I was working mostly as an adjunct instructor as well as an independent contractor. I was promoted to a newly created position called Tutoring Center Coordinator which required that I act as a facilitator and liaison between students and instructors to maximize targeted tutoring. I created a system that incorporated Skype to tutor distance learning. I intrinsically enjoy teaching! As the Academic Dean at a junior college, I had to teach Department Chairs and Instructors a method of learning that we called Inspire. I was chosen to facilitate because this system mirrored my own teaching style already. I believe that students learn the best when al

I have yet to complete my senior year of studies at the University but I will be done by Spring 2011. I am working towards my first Bachelors Degree, BS in Physics and will continue with school after until I get my MS in Chemical Engineering. Physics and Chemistry have always come easy to me and I know that because of this I can help others understand these sometimes tougher subjects easier. My teaching style might be a bit unorthodox but it is something I have acquired from past teachers and tutors. I have not helped or tutored in a while but I believe I have an easy and simple approach to it. When it comes to physics and chemistry, the math can be learned over night, the concepts are most critical. You can't read a problem and interpret the question word for word. You have to find a way to relate it to real life and what you see everyday. A spinning disk becomes a truck tire, a sound d

I am an extremely patient and positive teacher. I believe that the fundamental gift a teacher can give to their students is the gift of confidence. In my experience the primary obstacle to a student's progress is usually their own disbelief that they can do it. As a teacher, if you can persuade the student to overcome this doubt, the rest of the job simply requires patience and resilience. I am an aspiring condensed matter physicist with extensive knowledge of chemistry and mathematics. I have experience in the industry working as a researcher and engineer which gave me a deep insight into applying the physical principles I learned in school. I have taught English as a second language in a formal setting and tutored numerous friends and colleagues in matters ranging from introductory physics to technical writing.

I begin each lesson with the understanding that different students have different approaches to understanding the same concept. I am therefore always prepared to use different approaches to help students who need extra help. Moreover, since I teach science and mathematics, I use day-to-day illustrations and innovative materials to facilitate students' learning. I am very patient and willing to discuss lessons with students who need extra help after school. I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Geology with Physics and Chemistry backing. I recently graduated from a doctoral degree program in Environmental Management with focus on hydro-chemical modeling of water resources using multivariate statistical methods and mass balance methods. I have taught Environmental Science, Physics, Chemistry, Physical Science, Algebra and Geometry for three years at the Passaic County Community College's

I think the most important part of instruction is to give the student a framework for learning. I help them solve problems by asking leading questions so that they can develop the intuition for solving problems on their own, of course introducing and explaining basic concepts when necessary. Along the way, I explain insights, tricks, and tools that I use to solve problems. I constantly emphasize and repeat these insights, tools, and tricks until the student remembers them. In this way the student is building and strengthening his intuition. Since graduating from MIT with a degree in Math, I have worked at the National Bureau of Economic Research in Cambridge, MA and Siemens AG in Munich, Germany. For the last two years, I have been a graduate student at the U in physics. I plan to earn my Ph.D. in 2009. I started tutoring college level calculus and physics the year before entering gra

I was a Teaching Assistant for one semester of Physical Chemistry at the University of Utah. This is literally the most difficult course in the Chemistry department for undergraduates. I was responsible for 6X 1 hour sessions per week over the course of a semester. I also would handle questions outside of class. I think largely the greatest barrier to learning is a background context for the material. Many adults are still scared of Algebra because of some past experience as a kid. I first address the pupil's concerns and history with the subject. My commitment is to create a relaxing and enjoyable environment. Next I find the best way that the student learns. Most people prefer one modality over another in terms of retention of the material. If we are looking at physics, some people work best with what they hear, others with what they see or they can put their hands on. I personal

My teaching style varies depending on the type of students I am teaching to because I believe that each student has a particular learning style that they find easier. I think that it is important to find the types of learning that each student finds easiest to understand, and tailor the course so that it works well with their particular learning abilities. This can easily be done in a classroom setting as well as an individual basis. In either case, while I am teaching I think that it is important to understand the topic we are on before moving to the next one. Slowing down to completely grasp each idea helps students to gain confidence in their learning ability, and actually helps the classroom or individual to progress much faster overall. Giving students a hope for their future ability to learn is one of the best things I can do for them. In preparation for college, I knew that in ord

My teaching style incorporates an initial understanding of the student. I believe that it is crucial to understand the needs, wants, and habits of the individual to get the most out of each session. I am able to create an atmosphere which makes the work seem interesting and even fun at times, giving the students a new perspective on the many times 'boring' subjects to them. I also consider myself one who is able to push the student to their full potential. When a student surprises oneself with an ability to overcome a challenging problem and find a solution on their own, I know I have done my job. I want this result with every single student I work with. Being a recent graduate of the University of Portland with a degree in International Business and Finance, I have already had the opportunity to use my skills by working in Financial Services in London.
