I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am available to help your child find academic success. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. A few good educators can make a world of difference in a child's education. I strive to make a difference wherever I am at and with any student under me as well.
As a Union University graduate, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I have earned a bachelor's degree in Finance with a minor in Mathematics after studying for a year as a Pre-Med Chemistry major, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math and science. In addition, I have learned ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My background in sociology and tutoring combined with my client service experience has provided me with a unique ability to understand and communicate across all age levels and learning types. Typically a stagnant learning experience is accelerated merely by another person being able to express the same statement in several possible ways. Personalities are dynamic and highly influence the way in which an individual understands and, more importantly, retains information. Energy should be focused not simply on the subject material, but on understanding the complexity of the personality and tailoring the teaching method to the individual.
As a graduate from a small private high school (graduating Salutatorian) and elite college (graduating Cum Laude), I was afforded the great opportunity to work closely with both my professors and peers. The intimate settings and ongoing relations ... read more

I am also a poet and an inspirational and motivational speaker. I have written poems for my coworkers for twenty years at my employer. I would say that my style of teaching is creative. I stress the fundamentals, making sure of the foundation, but remain creative in the approach that reaches the student. For example, I made music videos to explain International Standards Organization 9001 principles for my audit students. My techniques have been very well received! Learning is fun! I make it so!
As a Chemical Engineer I have a diverse set of skills upon which to draw upon for a variety of subjects. As a substitute teacher, I have been called upon to engage students on a one-on-one basis in the classroom at both the middle and high school level. I know first hand that most students just need a little more coaching outside the classroom to raise their level of excellence. I co ... read more

I received a bachelors degree from The University of Memphis in integrative studies in the fall of 2009. Upon graduation, I was required to complete two semesters of student teaching. Also, during my four years of college, I tutored three different students, one in reading and the other two in English. From Augus ... read more

Science and math is best taught using self discovery and inquiry. I use these methods extensively. Patience is necessary as you first model, then assist, and finally use practice so the student gains fluency in the skill. I plan lessons around individual learning style and ability. Tough love is needed so a student will reach potential as is recognition of progress. I used my tecnical skills in the real world for 35 years. Hence I bring real world applications that are relevant and familiar to the student. This experience gives me a large portfolio of examples and approaches to explain what are often abstract concepts. Finally, the use of humor and today's digital tools help connect the student to the subject.
I retired from a technical/executive career in the chemical industry. My last position was as VP of Operations and Innovation. I have a degree in Chemical Engineering, so ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a high school student, I excelled at my schoolwork. I was retained as a tutor for middle school students in math and science subjects. When I entered college, my major in engineering has required that I take a lot of upper level math and science courses. These rigorous courses have strengthened my math and science skills. I am very well versed from algebra all the way to Calculus two.
I love helping people. I feel that a student can always teach a student better than a teacher. Their teaching style is a lot forgiving and the student is less intimidated knowing that someone else has been where he/she is currently. It also takes a great deal of patience to teach someone something and a forgiving nature. I excel at both of those.

More About This Tutor...

I have enjoyed working with children for a long time. In high school, I volunteered at a Summer Reading Academy for elementary school students. I have a bachelor degree from the University of Pennsylvania, majoring in Cognitive Science and minoring in Linguistics and Computer Science. One summer, my internship was working at a Teach For America training campus. I will obtain my master degree in business (MBA) from the University of Memphis in December 2010. I consider my strengths both math and writing.
Teaching, in my opinion, is a matter of patience. Each child can learn a skill, though the amount of time it takes to learn that skill may vary from child to child. Some children simply need a few more extra hours per week to pick up the essential skills they will need to be successful in life. Education is so very, very important. My belief is that each child can succeed in life if ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I was very much driven to obtain 18 yeard level experience in education.I have teaching certificate,BS in biology and master in business administration and health care management.Four years teaching experience in maths and science in high school, middle school, and college.Two teaching assistance and lab tutor at Rust college.
Teaching is a learning process, and I love teaching youn children particularly science because it is the build block of our nation. I feel bad when a child says to her parents I can not do maths or science. This why I want to go back to the teaching field to foster the needy child in maths and science. With the knowledge in teaching couple with skills , I will be a very useful candidate in helping learner to understand materials, and be competitive the world.
