A Little Bit About Me...

First we get to know each other. Often I can create examples to illustrate problems based on the student's interests and experience. If you had any trouble on a recent test or homework assignment, we can begin by reviewing any problems you might have had on those. I will show you why the correct answers are right, and why the wrong answers are wrong. I am an excellent listener, and I always find a way to make the lessons fun.
I am a former high school math teacher, and a semi-retired Certified Public Accountant and a Certified professional tutor qualified to teach all math and science subjects through the high school, SAT, ACT, and advanced placement levels. I can also tutor college freshman levels in Calculus, Chemistry, Astronomy, and Physics. In addition, I also tutor all college level accounting, economics, taxation, auditing, etc. subjects.

More About This Tutor...

As a practiced 7 year High School Math Teacher, I have experienced students continue to struggle in math. Therefore, I developed a step-by-step approach to tutoring in which the student becomes an organized, motivated individual with enhanced study skills. In addition, I am especially knowledgeable in the education field and use several styles of instruction based upon the students’ unique needs. I have studied such styles from my education at Penn State and Temple Universities. I have provided professional development for staff about curriculum and instruction in the area. As I continue my own education, I continue to take pleasure in tutoring and include techniques to make the experience enjoyable and relaxed.
Since I was a high school student, I always loved math and helping others understand the material. It was then that I realized that I wanted to teach math the way my f ... read more

More About This Tutor...

After college I worked for three years.During that time I applied and received a scholarship to the Medical College of Pennsylvania, from which I graduated in 1994. I completed an Internal Medicine Residency at MCP in 1997. After residency I worked as an attending physician in Pittsburgh from 1997 to 2000, and in Berlin, Maryland, from 2001 to 2004. In January, 2004, my wife became severely ill, and I decided to take time off to raise my two young daughters. I taught at the Dawn Training Center in Wilmington, DE, from May to October, 2006. I also have extensive experience teaching junior housestaff and Nurse Practitioner trainees.
I have a fairly informal teaching style, and I tend to use a lot of humor. I try to connect the information I am trying to convey to what the student already knows, rather than simply provide facts to be learned by rote and regurgitated on an exam.

More About This Tutor...

As an educator in math and science, subjects viewed by many students as “hard” or “boring,” I strongly believe that these fields need not be viewed this way. Teachers who have a strong background in math and science, such as myself, can more easily relate class work to everyday life and career prospects, making the subject more relevant and interesting. I believe that when teaching any subject, one must start with a clear set of objectives and goals which are to be realized by the end of the teaching session. It is the responsibility of the educator to modify his or her lesson plans to best meet the needs of the student. At the same time, the lesson must not just provide the information needed, but allow the student to immerse themselves in the subject matter and strive beyond basic understanding.

I have simplified the text material so that students gain a better understanding of the subject matter. My presentation of the material was clear and I made good use of examples and illustrations. I feel it is important for a teacher to enjoy the sharing of knowledge and help people to expand their horizons. While general techniques, skills and methods are certainly important, the enthusiasm created by a teacher is an important characteristic to possess. Students have indicated that they have benefited from my enthusiasm for which I used various sources such as alternative textbooks and the Internet to cover relevant material in the class.
Presently I am a Supplemental Faculty in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Delaware. I have taught courses in the areas of calculus, linear algebra and differential equations which has given me a very good feel to teac ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I believe teaching should be an evolving, natural thing that constantly takes into account all the strengths and weaknesses presented, so that the student can learn the best way for him or her. It helps to get to know each student a bit so that the style needed is discovered and as many barriers as possible are brought down. I also try to keep engagement up by bringing in tangents of interest that the student can relate to in order to make it more understandable and applicable to his or her's life. Education should be a dynamic, stimulating experience for everyone.
My experience comes from a variety of places which accounts for my adaptability. I obtained an associates degree in Business Administration and went on to use that to get some experience in the business sector. I earned my Bachelors degree in Studio Arts and went on to get my Masters in Elementary Education. Since then ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As an active member of Mensa International and someone who's consistently done well in number-related fields, I've come to love teaching what I can understand. I perceive the world in a very unique way and I excel at using my perspective to help my students understand what others typically have difficulty imparting to them. I aim to one day be a professor and I love to inspire learning in and out of the classroom.
As an undergraduate at UConn, I pursued a number of fields from computer science to communications and philosophy, giving me a wide range of experience in a multitude of subject areas. In my senior year, I became a substitute teacher for grades 7-12 in all subjects. I am currently a graduate student in criminal justice, writing papers and doing research almost continuously.

A Little Bit About Me...

After having the opportunity to tutor one-on-one and as a whole class, I have discovered that each student learns in a unique way. Some of the students were visual learners, while others needed more tactile experiences. Other students benefited from auditory learning. As a tutor, it is my responsibility to evaluate each student and determine what methods will work best with that individual.
As an undergraduate at Muhlenberg College, I had the opportunity to serve as a peer tutor in mathematics to incoming freshmen. I enjoyed the experience of helping other students succeed. I have a bachelor's degree in Physical Science which allowed me to gain knowledge in the fields of mathematics and physics. I decided to further my education in the field of Applied Mathematics. I tutored for one full year as a teacher's assistant at Delaware State University. I had the opportunity to tut ... read more

My teaching style depends on circumstances. When lecturing in an auditorium to two hundred freshmen, I had to keep to my lecture notes and prepared demonstrations, depending on the students’ initiative to ask the TA’s in the recitation sections about any difficulties. In a smaller class I could engage the students more, still keeping on topic but asking questions of the students and encouraging their questions. When tutoring I often have to keep a despairing student engaged and interested with a mixture of techniques. I sometimes let him explain what the teachers said until it’s clear in his mind. Walking her through a series of problems while showing how the principles apply, helps. A casual and conversational manner usually eases the panic the students usually feel by the time they get tutoring. Usually a few sessions will get the student past a hard spot and restore his confiden ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style changes with my perception of a student's needs. My goal is to show students the path by which they can come to answers themselves. In discussing the subject matter with a student, I can gain a solid understanding of what he or she is capable. Using my patience and ability to effectively describe complicated concepts with analogies and visual aids, I have had great success. I care deeply about students with whom I interact, and I feel greatly rewarded when I have helped a student exceed expectations.
I have enjoyed each experience I have had with teaching, beginning with an informal position as a study group leader in the Genetics course I completed at Penn State University. While working on my MS at the University of Tennessee, I taught lecture and outdoor laboratory sessions for the Ornithology course, which included about 30 students. As the coordinator of the ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I graduated from a Pennsylvania Systems of Higher Education college with a B.S. in Mathematics and a minor in Physics. The entire time I was enrolled I was a tutor in the Math Assistant Center as one of the top tutors. I was always told I should be a teacher but for now I am on a quest to get my PhD. I enjoy tutoring anywhere from beginners algebra in middle school all the way to college classes like Ordinary/Partial Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, Abstract Algebra, and some physics.
Every job I've ever had has been one where I teach. I had a job 3 years teaching ballroom dance, 2 years I coached T-ball, and for 4 years I've tutored math. I just recently graduated and I can't see myself not helping someone learn and love math. Math isn't a subject that everyone loves but I believe that can change with the right teacher. I'm not a tutor that gets frustrated and just tells th ... read more
