Experienced math tutor

I encourage questions and believe in a lot of practice.
I believe that all students can learn with a patient tutor. Many of my students find math frustrating but I have the ability to break all concepts down to the most basic elements and build from there. I also encourage questions and being comfortable asking questions to facilitate the learning experience. I have tutored math and history for years at all levels from middle school through college. I have a bachelors degree from UNC-Chapel Hill and a masters degree from Rutgers University. I find it very rewarding to teach students and help them overcome their academic challenges. Many students struggle with math due to bad teaching or fear. My success lies in getting to the root of the issue and building from there. A calculus professor once told me that the only way you learn math is by doing math. Therefore, I encourage lot ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Although instructors/tutors have a preferred teaching style, I will often mix in some elements of other styles. If I wish to take a more open approach to my teaching, I include a blend of various styles which is very effective. Teacher-centered, where the teacher is expert and authority in presenting information works well with students who need little direction from the instructor, and/or those who accept responsibility for their own learning. While in other situations, I will take a learner-centered approach thus viewing my role as more of a facilitator of student learning.
In 1999-2000, I provided highly individualized, one-on-one instruction in the client's homes while working with a local tutoring company. I am an experienced educator and state certified instructor with impeccable credentials and a heartfelt enthusiasm for teaching. More recently, I have tutored adults partici ... read more

I love to teach. I have experience with 5-50 years old and, if pressed, could not name a favorite group. I believe that everyone can learn; some of us just process information in different ways. As a tutor it is my job to discover how a student processes information and adapt my lesson to accommodate them. Learning can be both fun and serious, as long as it is productive.
As part of my lifelong love of learning and teaching, I began tutoring when I was just fourteen years old. While in high school, I usually tutored math (mostly algebra, geometry, and trigonometry) and general science. Once I moved to college, I began to work with middle school as well as high school students again in mostly math and science. However, I have a BA in politics and history; therefore I am extremely confident in many liberal arts subjects. I have also earned an MBA which helped to hone my grammatical a ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

From the start of my professional career I have been drawn to the education and edification of others, in particular the youth. I feel I have an intrinsic ability to understand them and motivate them to see the bigger picture in their life. My own education and years of experience in education have equipped me with the skills and drive to help my student's reach their full potential and goals. My college education was never 'standard' but guided the development of my exceptional writing skills and tone. In addition to completing my bachelor degrees, my experience of living and teaching abroad in The Netherlands broadened my understanding of the world and its many cultures. There, I not only learned to speak but teach in Dutch.
My love for teaching is inclusive of all learners of all ages. Given that personal motivation is the key to true learning, I consistently strive to seek ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a university-level professor, I understand that only about 20% of my students will prosper from a strictly lecture-style course. I have explored other means of learning with my students by encouraging them to read and interpret primary sources (sources written or objects used/produced by historical agents), discuss what they've learned in class, and conduct history investigations of their own. As a former museum professional, I am a strong believer in hands-on learning. In this respect, I encourage a student to own his/her learning, by constantly interacting with me and their fellow students as we attempt to better understand the material. I encourage my students to become better writers by holding "free-writes" in class, and going over how to structure an historical argument, and how to present evidence. I have worked with students of varying abilities, some of them with extreme dysl ... read more

I like to present material, but expect interaction with students to reach a mutual understanding of the material. Students are expected to develop to a level of independence that will allow them to work without assistance.
While a student I acted as a teacher's assistant teaching Argumentation and Debate for one semester, and tutored Basic Statistics for one semester. As an accounting professional I trained new employees in Accounting, both in classroom and individual environments. While this experience was on an "as needed" basis, since I have worked as a Controller for over twenty-five years I believe I have at least three years of accumulated experience teaching accounting.

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy working with young people and making an impact on their academic success. I don't know if I have a particular teaching style, but I believe that education is not a "one size fits all" proposition and good educators must adapt their style to fit the needs of their student which I strive for every time I meet a new student.
Although I do not have a degree in Education, I have years of experience as a teaching assistant, teacher, tutor and curriculum designer. My experience mostly focuses on helping students improve their writing skills, but I also work with students with their reading comprehension since they go hand in hand. I have taught composition at the community college level which enables me to help students with papers at all levels from basic exposition to research methodology and citation format.

A Little Bit About Me...

After earning my bachelor's degree in History and Political Science, I went on to complete the teacher's certification program through the University of Phoenix. I began teaching middle school Language Arts, Reading, Writing, and Social Studies at a small private school in Tucson, AZ in 2001. I have worked with students at various levels in all subject areas both as a teacher and as a tutor.
I love children and believe that every child can learn. In my classroom, I provided a multitude of diverse learning experiences for my students - from experimentation to cooperative learning. I support the multiple intelligences theory and always attempted to accommodate students' various learning needs. For example, when finishing a novel, students were given options for completing a book project: traditional book report, building a model of a favorite scene and presenting it to the class ... read more

My style of teaching depends upon the child's way of learning. In my role as a Montessori teacher I typically presented lessons to the child in way that would best suite their approach to learning. For example, if that particular child was a more hands on type learner I would make materials or present the lesson in a manner to include something that he or she could manipulate. My goal in education is to provide the best type of learning to match your child's way of learning. I attempt to do the best that I can for any child that I work with. I do believe that all children really want to learn especially in the right circumstances.
When I graduated from High School and went into the job market I continued to be interested in working with children. This interest lead me to taking psychology and education classes from various colleges over the years and ultimately obtaining a B.I.S de ... read more

I'm a certified Air Force Instructor with two years of experience as a Unit Training Manager. I have 3 years of experience teaching adults how to build computers and install/configure operating systems and applications.
I find that teaching works best if you tailor the material to your audience - i.e. you don't want to lose them OR bore them. Use what they know as a foundation to build on to teach new concepts. If material is difficult or unfamiliar to your class it's important to be prepared in advance with several approaches to get the material across. Review material periodically to reinforce confidence in the students and always make sure they have a firm grasp on material before moving on.

This experience has provided me with tools that I use to entice students with various ways to learn. It has been very useful to use reality to capture interest. Basic education is the key to a successful life. We know that college is not for everyone however, we know that in order to be a successful contributor in society one must have the basics.
