College Algebra Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Buckland, MA

I like to get a sense of what the student already knows and try to build on that knowledge. I have tutored on a volunteer basis with the Holyoke Tutor/Mentor Program for more than a year. I have also tutored privately. My experience has been with adults, however, I would like to add experience working with secondary school students. I can help with SAT's, MCAS, and just provide support for a student who needs some extra help.

I have 8+ years of tutoring experience. My experience includes working with 8th graders, high schoolers, college kids, and adults. I've tutored from algebra I to precalculus, and have lots of experience tutor chemistry and physics as well. All of my students have shown improvement gradewise and had a better understanding. My goal is to give the student a solid base so that in the future, they don't need a tutor anymore. Problem-solving/self help is what I try to teach every student along with the actual material covered. I am very patient and can explain every topic a number of different ways. Whether something needs to be proven numerically or with a picture, I can cater the right style to the student.

I am completing my MA in Secondary Education from the University Phoenix (Online), needing only a student teaching assignment in the field of secondary mathematics to complete all the degree requirements .

My experience with tutoring, employee training and working with my own two children has shown me that there are many different learning styles and paces. It is exciting to find that key for each person and watch their growth and development through learning. Up front, I believe it is important to understand the goals of the student and their family and then focus on providing the support necessary to see them achieve and exceed those goals. Following my graduation from the University of Connecticut I pursued a career in the insurance industry but have also spent time working as a youth group leader and worked as a part-time tutor for several years.

I enjoy getting the student excited about what they are learning by showing them the practical and useful side of what they are being taught. I believe that when learning is fun and students enjoy what they are learning they will do better. I try to use a hands on approach so that the student learns by doing. I provide lots of examples and change my teaching methods according to each students needs. As a tutor at Springfield Technical Community College, students would specifically request my services as they felt my teaching methods were easy to understand.

I have 28 years experience as a successful professional scientist as well as many years experience teaching and tutoring Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Astronomy to students ranging from elementary school through college. I have received teaching commendations from Pensacola Junior College for the quality and organization of my lectures. I am extremely well read in the sciences and have a deep understanding of fundamental scientific principles and associated mathematics. My goal is to use my experience and understanding to help students succeed in their science studies. I stress teaching fundamental principles through an interactive teaching style where students actively participate in learning and solving problems. It is important that students understand fundamental concepts. Relying solely on rote memorization of facts will not lead to success science and math. For yo

I would best describe my method of teaching as a give and take experience. Through diologue, I am able to lead the student through the thought process that will derive the correct answer. Giving bits of information can provoke a new approach to the task at hand. I also feel it is important to individualize each person being tutored, as everyone learns differently. Some learn best through the use of things such as pnuemonic devices, while others may need repitition to effectivily remember the material. Gaining knowledge is a passion of mine and sharing this information is something I truly enjoy. My journey through the undergraduate sciences has given me the skills needed to be an effective tutor. Holding a 3.6 GPA, I was able to work with students in group settings, teaching as well as learning. As a member of the chemistry society, we also offered peer tutoring where I was an acti

As a student of life I believe that the best thing we can do for our children is to teach them how to learn. With that particular tool in their toolbox, there is no limit to what they can accomplish. In school it led me to become valedictorian of my high school class and Phi Beta Kappa in college, and it has allowed my learning to continue throughout my adult life. If we want our children to reach their true potential, they need to learn how to learn. I have a BS in Chemistry, an MFS in Forensic Chemistry and a strong aptitude in math and computers. Early on in my career I spent 1 1/2 years as a substitute teacher in the areas of math and science, including several months as a long-term substitute in chemistry. For the last 20+ years I have been employed as a chemist/scientist/supervisor in both government and corporate settings. As a scientist I routinely mentored the chemists who
