High School Physics Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Chattanooga, TN

I like to be interactive- when I'm teaching I prefer to work through a problem with a student together the first time, letting the student more or less watch me. The second time through, we approach the problem with a little more weight placed on the student. The third time I ask the student to attempt the problem on his/her own, and I'm available for questions. I have tutored classmates and friends throughout college and after in science and math disciplines. My younger sister struggled in school and I assisted her with all disciplines from grades K-12. I studied Chemical Engineering at West Virginia University and got my degree in four years. Classes I took included four semesters of calculus, including multivariable and differential equations, two semesters of physics, inorganic and organic chemistry, and several chemical engineering specific classes. I feel comfortable with most mat

I beleive students learn the best by having their ending in mind first. I like for my students to understand the purposefulness of work and how it will help them reach their goal. I also believe that differentiating instruction is a must; children need their learning style catered to for the most effective learning results! This is my 5th year teaching high school Chemistry and Introduction to Physics to grades 9th-12th. Most of the students I teach are in the 9th grade. I have been at the same school for my entire small teaching career. I absolutely love educating and get the most satisfaction when I see students light bulbs come on!

I worked for the mathematics departments at my high school and university as an aid and as a tutor. As a result, I tutored many students in a variety of mathematics courses. I enjoy working one-on-one to help people understand a topic of which I am very passionate. I am currently working and saving money so that I can go on to get my masters in mathematics. In the meantime, I want to continue to practice the skills that I have gained through tutoring and teaching.

I am a 2012 graduate of Washington University in St. Louis, graduating Summa Cum Laude with a B.S. in Chemistry and concentration in Biochemistry. I have worked as a TA for the sophomore Principles of Biology (II) course as well as the Organic Chemistry Laboratory Course. I have been a tutor & academic mentor for Organic Chemistry since the summer of 2010. Additionally, I was an MCAT tutor & problem solving group leader for my University's MCAT course during the 2011-2012 year. I scored a 37R on the MCAT (PS - 14, BS - 12, V - 11) and a 2260 on the SAT ( Math 770, Verbal 730, Writing 760). I initially started tutoring because of my love for the subjects, and as I worked I understood that one has to be able to cater to different approaches to understanding various topics.

My teaching style is prescriptive, student based. I teach based on how the particular student can grasp and understand what is being taught because students have their own methods and mental tools to open themselves to what is being taught, so that they learn. I, the teacher, learn from the student how he/she understands what is being taught and fit the subject into a student's frame for understanding. In 2010, I contracted with the Hamilton County Board of Education, HCBE, and successfully taught 3 courses: 2 Algebra II courses and 1 Introduction to Calculus at Red Bank High School. During the 2010-2011 school year: I am a subsitute teacher for HCBE, where I teach different courses in 15 schools for HCBE, both middle school and high school. I have taught at the college level, and have professional experience as an Electrical Engineer and computer consultant. I specialized in compute

I attended MTSU and received a bachelor’s degree in Biology. After college I worked at a food-microbiology lab in Nashville for a year. I plan to teach science in Africa with the Peace Corps for two years. I am very capable in most areas of math and science. I am also outgoing and easy to get along with. First I would like to get to know the student and parents, focusing mainly on the student's interests and goals as well as how they feel about the particular subject they will be tutored in. After that I would have the student show me where they currently are in class and what they need help with. Then, depending on the particular circumstances, I would create a plan to get the student caught up and self-sufficient as quickly as possible. Even though fast results are what I hope for, the student would set the pace of the sessions. No topics would be overlooked and they would all receive

As a graduate of the nation's top-ranked engineering school for undergraduate engineering education, I feel fully qualified to teach and share my knowledge in math and science. I received my double major bachelor's degree in 2007 in chemical engineering and biochemistry & molecular biology. I feel that this rigorous academic program has prepared me for any math or science challenge today. In high school, I had the opportunity to volunteer as a private math tutor and enjoyed the rewarding experience of watching my student grow, learn, and achieve his dream to achieve a GED. The large workload of my college education has given me the skills necessary to multi-task and quickly learn and deliver results demanded in the current marketplace. I feel confident that I could share this skill set with students so that they too can achieve their dreams. I am very patient and will work with any stude

I have earned two masters degrees, Ms in environmental Science and MS in Environmental biology. my course was interdisciplinary to much an extent during my bachelors and has thus exposed me to various fields of life sciences. I have written several research papers and have completed a master’s thesis research. This has enabled me to build good writing, research and lab skills. during my masters I had been tutoring junior students in labs and lectures for two years. Teaching has been a passion for me since I was in middle school. I was blessed with good teachers who could very well explain me the basic concepts of science. It was here that I realized how important it was to have a good tutor, those who could captivate your interest. There have been times when I helped friends and class mates with Physics, chemistry, geography and biology during middle and high schools. I believe learning

As a Georgia Tech graduate, I've always enjoyed challenging myself to learn new things and to take different approaches. I am currently working on a Masters degree in Business Administration while working full-time as a Mechanical Engineer at a local Chattanooga company. While in college, I was a teaching assistant for the Thermal-Fluid Science class. More recently at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, I have taught the Physics I lab. I enjoy tutoring and showing people different approaches to a problem. I understand that not all students learn the same way and it's important to show them how an answer can be reached in many different ways. I am always willing to let the student show me his/her approach and correct them accordingly. I am patient and understanding and always thorough.

I do have a preferred teaching style, but I will accommodate the student’s preferences. My preferred teaching style is to guide students, not lecture or do their homework for them. Your ability to learn material will be greatly increased by exposure to critical decision making steps as you work problems. I will guide students to these steps as efficiently as possible and wait for a rigorous effort from the student. This will result in either a correct approach or an inappropriate or incorrect approach. After that point I then congratulate the student for a correct answer, or thank them for their effort and try to break down the decision making process so that they can learn from the experience and gain a real understanding of the problem. I hold a BS in Nuclear Engineering from Georgia Tech. I have two and a half years of experience, most of which is at the collegiate level. I am profic

I always find myself trying to lead others to figure out material on their own as a I set guidelines for them as they do so. I believe this is the best way for them to learn the material. I do not like to tell my students the answers, inhibiting them from thinking things through. I try to find different ways of teaching material in order to keep them motivated, as well. I am a recent graduate of kennesaw State University, with a Bachelor's Degree in Biology. I believe that I am competent in various areas of biology and chemistry, and will be able to convey that competence. I have taught and tutored at my church and in other volunteer programs since high school. I also currently give drum lessons at a Stephen's Music Company.
