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

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

A Little Bit About Me...

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 learners, they regained their confidence and motivation. I used simple structured lessons to explain methods and concepts. I emphasized the relevance and meaning of all work, and allowed time for inquiry and discovery. Students were assessed only after thorough preparation. Strengths were emphasized; difficulties were embraced as a challenge. By creating opportunities for success, my students were willing to work through their struggles.
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 ... read more

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 and communication skills. I am currently an on-call teacher for two local school districts. I teach all levels, all subjects.
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 proc ... read more

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 out and direct my student's interests through thoughtful questions and discussion. All the while I try to tailor my student's interests to meet the needs of their required course work. My questions can be described as both creative and thought-provoking. I never sacrifice intrinsic learning for the ease of 'busy work.' I always strive for simplicity and straight-forwardness in my instruction. I know at some level everyone has a personal desire to learn. I am most knowledgeable in earth/space science, basic mathmatics, and social siences.
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 motiv ... 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.
As an Arizona State graduate, I have developed a strong ethic in leadership, independence, mastery, superior work habits, proficiency in my field, and would like to bring all of t ... read more

Both my education and work experience lend themselves to this position as reading tutor. In school, I worked with all ages in relation to my museum studies coursework, to better understand historic events, places, eras, and people. In designing museum programming and educational initiatives, I worked with young children up to senior adults in the process. My university-level history and women's studies background has exposed me to a wide range of contextual information, and I am eager to utilize this while helping others become more literate.
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 c ... 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.

I graduated from Arizona State University East. It is a more technical school when it comes to elementary education. As a student I was required to do more service hours than at the main campus. I then student taught in Mesa Arizona followed by teaching 3rd grade in Mesa as well. I taught full time for one year and shared a teaching contract with another teacher for the second year.I also lead numerous programs through the parks and recreation here in Arizona. Programs involved tutoring, teaching science programs and leading young adults in teaching these programs as well.
Am I allowed to quote the above example? I am just kidding but for the most part I do agree with all of those things. I am apatient and easy going person who is super-excited to to see students connect their learning with experience.

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
