Anything from Mathematics to Economics and Computers

I involve students a lot during the learning period. I consistently ask them questions about the topic and let them think for a while. I give them as much information as possible so that they do not miss any information while solving problems. I make students write. That is how they learn. I consistently give students concepts and them demonstrate with sample questions.
Holding a Bachelors of Science degree in Mathematics and Economics, I have knowledge of both Mathematics and its application to Economics as well as other real world situations. I have advanced experience on tutoring high school students and college students in courses like PreCalculus, Algebra, Trigonometry, Statistics, Combinatorics and Probability, Econometrics, Calculus I, Calculus II and Calculus III and MicroEconomics and MacroEconomics as well as International Economics. I have also worked as a teaching assis ... read more

With so many years teaching middle school students in classrooms, I specialize in crafting just the right learning environment for students, emotionally safe but a little push outside their intellectual comfort zone. This is achieved through patience, clarity of thought, and modeling a sense of wonder about the world. I have worked with students who receive special education services as well as gifted students, and am adept at differentiating content and delivery to best promote comprehension and retention. Finally, everyone learns best when they feel like they are having fun and making their own discoveries--it's my job to ensure this sense of adventure is part of students' educational experience, offering ever more motivation to learn.
With 7 years of international and U.S-based teaching, tutoring, and training experience, I am at ease teaching multiple subjects to individuals an ... read more

I am very much a hands-on instructor. Long ago, I heard the Chinese Proverb “I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.” These words embody my personal teaching philosophy. I utilize a varied and balanced set of teaching strategies that will meet the needs of all types of learners. First, I determine the student’s preferred learning style (auditory, visual, or kinesthetic) and tailor my lessons accordingly. I then try as much as possible to make our lessons as relatable to the student’s likes and interests. Let’s face it, when the work is difficult and doesn’t relate to anything practical… what’s the point? When I am able to incorporate real-world examples and applications, students respond and things start to click!
My 20+ year teaching career began in high school when I ran an after-school tutoring program. At the University of Georgia I tutored for the che ... read more

What makes me a great tutor is my patience and understanding of a student in need. I believe all children are capable of success but sometimes may need a little extra help to get there. My teaching style is one of comparisons and analogies. Sometimes students just do not understand the mathematical terms. For this reason, I compare problems to something the student is familiar with, allow them to see the connection to the problem at hand and then guide them to solving the problem. This strategy has proven to be very successful and I've often had students tell me "You make it seem so easy!"
I have a bachelor degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry, which has allowed me to gain a deep understanding of both sciences. I was also a Mathematics tutor at Florida A&M University for about two years. I tutored everything from grammar school mathematics up to Calculus II. I have al ... read more

Because my background is in Science, I have a passion for teaching students in a hands-on, real life way! I think it's important for kids to have the opportunity to discover and then make connections to the world. I believe this type of learning helps children physically see how things work, which tends to make more sense to them, versus reading straight from a book or writing things down repeatedly. I feel that they are then able to apply the labs, use of manipulatives, etc. to pencil and paper activites, such as worksheets, tests, standardized tests, etc.
After nearly completing my four years as a Natural Science major at Johns Hopkins University, I realized I no longer wanted to pursue a medical career. It seemed almost too late...to late to choose a new path. However, I had the opportunity to get involved in a MSEd program at Baylor University. Through this program, I ear ... read more

As an undergraduate student I was always in the top ten percentile of my math, chemistry and biology classes, and as a result, I tutored fellow college students in those respective subjects. After earning my bachelor degree in biology, I worked as an educator at the South Carolina Aquarium where I taught interactive classes to kindergarten, middle school and high school students. I also worked for the Leadership Development Program at the College of Charleston where I co-facilitated student leadership classes. And most recently, while in graduate school I held a teaching assistant position and tutored freshman and sophomore college students in topics related to international development.
My teaching style is based on the student’s learning style. Each child is different and may require different teaching methods to facilitate learning. Some children are more visual and may require ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Inquiry- I want the kids to learn through inquiry. Figuring out a problem through experimentation and critical thought of outcomes. I like to start with the basics and go from there. For older students, college and adults, I teach them study skills and notetaking and then go over the subject matter that they learned in class,
I have tutored my own children and have taught them to think cr itically and I tutored for 2 years as a Grad Assitant. I have worked in the Biological Science field for many years and I really enjoy teaching kids about science and it's impact on society

My teaching style is simple yet very effective. I try to understand the student in terms of habits and overall view of learning and development. I believe that effective learning process cannot be achieved via a 'one-size-fits-all' and spending the time to understand the student goes a long way in making them feel comfortable and mentally ready to learn. With that said, I also believe in making the process fun yet effective. There is an abundance of tutors available and who are very knowledgeable in their areas of expertise. However, only a few can effectively transfer knowledge to someone else who is not at the same level. I am one such tutor who knows what it takes to make that successful 'transfer'.
As a professional, I have a history of progression within all organizations that I have been employed. My passion for excellence in education is fueled by the numerous indiv ... read more

My teaching style consists of working with students in the affective and objective domains to make learning personal and enjoyable. That is, I address the student’s confidence and capabilities by establishing rapport and assessing his/her skills level through specific tasks or assessments. In the initial sessions, I determine the student’s interests through simple five-minute inventories or “getting-to-know-you” activities. With regards to academics, the study time always includes explanation or review of the focus skill (lesson) or task; my demonstrating the skill by completing a related task; a shared activity wherein the student and I complete a similar activity together; and, finally, the student’s practice of the skill in an independent activity. I end by giving the student feedback. My goal is to have the student become relaxed, capable, and proud of knowing.

Currently I am a organic chemistry lecturer at a local college but I have always been an advocate of education. I have a PhD in organic chemistry and a BS in chemistry. My background has allowed me to understand a range of topics from math and science to English. I have tutored students for over 11 years and I recently was a mentor to a high school student for two years.
I have loved to teach every since I was a young girl playing school with my younger siblings. Since that time I have observed several different teaching and learning styles. As an instructor, I try to incorporate several different teaching styles to accomodate the students in my class. I set high expectations for my students and equip them with the knowledge to reach their full potential. I believe education is the key to success and everyone should have equal access to the opportunities education can provide.

I have worked with children and adult learners for quite a while now. So, from my experience and formal education, I know that children and adults learn in different ways. The ways in which they process information that is presented on any given subject really depends on the students learning style. I tailor my instruction to the individuals learning style( visual, auditory, kinesthetic ).
I have always had a passion for math and science. This passion has lead me to pursue careers in areas that will allow me to apply my knowledge of math and science. However, while in these fields I discovered that I enjoyed helping and teaching others. So, after realizing this I decided to go into teaching full time. I have scored the open ended portions of math and science standardized tests. After being a scorer I moved into the area of educational training where I trained others to score t ... read more
