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

More About This Tutor...

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 participating in an Adult Literacy Program. I assisted them in their GED preparation in Math and helped them set and reach their short-term educational goals. More recently, I worked with incarcerated individuals preparing them for the GED test, improving their testing skills, and promoting a positive environment for learning. I am actively tutoring students in Pre-Algebra on a weekly basis.
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 ... read more

Teaching and tutoring students for 10 years in grades 1-8 in the areas of reading, writing, math, social studies, civics and government, and Spanish has diversified my experience in educating all ages of children.

I am a firm believer in differentiating instruction to meet the needs of each student. There is no one size fits all plan that will work for all children. My strengths include a foundational approach to learning, well-crafted lesson plans, and utilization of technology to enhance student interest. I feel my positivity, friendliness and dedication will result in academic achievement for all students I encounter.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have spent my 13 years as an educator in a variety of capacities. I spent four years as a tutor for an autistic child while I was in school. After receiving my bachelor’s degree in education, I worked for three years as the 4th, 5th, and 6th grade alternative school teacher for the Chandler Unified School District. I then worked part-time as the curriculum writer for a residential alternative facility, also opening and teaching in their middle school program. Following that experience, I spent two years teaching Title 1 English at a middle school. I currently own and operate my own business, earning my master’s of education in the process.
I have spent most of my career working with children who were unsuccessful in a traditional classroom. Discouraged and failing, many of my students had no recent memory of being successful. By showing them that they were capable learner ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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

"We learn more by looking for the answer to a question and not finding it than we do from learning the answer itself." (Lloyd Alexander, 1924) I like this quote because I believe that every student has the skills to learn any subject through practice and hard work. Every student learns differently and I will help your student reach their full academic potential by catering to their specific learning needs and styles. I will be a support system for your learner to help them with all of their academic needs. Ambition and motivation are two strengths I want my learners to develop and they will accomplish this by actively participating in their own learning. ~Strive for the impossible and be extraordinary.

I have had the desire to teach children from a young age when I would play school with my younger sisters. I believe in teaching students the curriculum in an interactive manner. When I teach, I combine hands-on materials, technology, and real-life experiences into an engaging lesson. I want my students to be challenged and feel proud and surprised of themselves once they have reached that final outcome. Not only do I enjoy teaching the grade level content but I also enjoy being a role model for my students. I like to inspire them to be successful citizens when they leave my classroom by teaching them about great character. When they promote to the next school year I want them to feel proud of the growth they have made in my classroom.
I graduated with a bachelors degree in Elementary Education in 2008 from the University of Missouri with honors. My student teaching was a year lon ... read more

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.

The main point of teaching is not only for the teacher to have a good time, but also for the student. If both teacher and student can enjoy each other’s company the possibilities of how much can be learned are endless. Through my experiences, I’ve learned that individuals will work harder if they respect the person who is giving the direction. Teachers have the choice to make their class environment enjoyable, safe, and fun. If they choose not to, then it is not benefiting the child who is there to learn.
As an experienced educator I have had the pleasure working with children in grades Kindergarten through 8th grade. I have a Bachelor’s degree in elementary education and a Masters degree in Physical Education from Arizona State University. The core courses for these degrees included work in English, history, math and science. General education courses included work in educational ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a strong believer in communicating with students according to their own developmental capabilities and learning style. I strive to patiently discover these unique aspects of each of my students and find creative ways of meeting their needs. My goal is that students will not only improve their understanding of a particular subject, but that they will also improve their own study skills and problem-solving abilities. I believe it is important to help students learn to manage their time and homework, which can feel overwhelming to a student, and I often help them work out a weekly schedule with manageable amounts of work. I enjoy helping students connect what they are studying to practical aspects of their own life or the world around them, as I find this helps increase their interest and enjoyment in what they are learning.
