A Little Bit About Me...

I am a peer mentor and educator at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. I have worked with children in Bright Lights and the Nebraska Human Resource Institute. I am a undergraduate student, majoring in biochemistry, at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. I am a Regents Scholar at the University. I have completed a minor in math. I also work in student government, and I hold leadership positions on multiple boards on campus.
Fun and interactive. I make sure that a firm understanding is held before moving on to a more complex topic. I go at the pace desired by the student, and I want the learning environment to be comfortable.

More About This Tutor...

Most of my experience has been as an engineer. I have worked on projects in Europe, Asia, and all over North America. I got involved tutoring high school students while my sons were in high school. Recently, I completed an MA in Education, and taught science and math for about a year and a half in a couple of Louisiana High Schools. I have a broad background for providing real-world examples of implementations of math and science.
I enjoy seeing expressions of accomplishment when students truly grasp various concepts. I expect and demand "excellence," recognizing that "excellence" is a term relative to the student. It seems to me that students retain information most successfully when it has been presented so as to be personally relevant, so I attempt to tailor examples to the student's background.

After teaching 2 years at a large public High School, I spent 5 years as a Research Chemist in the pharmaceutical industry. This experience gives me a practical understanding of research and science that I could not have achieved had I limited my career to teaching alone. For the past year I have been teaching at the LPS Science Focus Program where I have greatly diversified my experience. While in teachers college I decided to pursue a degree in Biochemistry to strengthen my content knowledge. Having a science degree in addition to a teaching degree is a definite advantage.
Good teaching requires knowing both where a student is currently and where they need to go next. It is important to understand that each student may take a slightly different path in getting from "here" to "there." My goal is to focus on the strengths and find ways to overcome the weaknesses.

I see teaching as a dialog between teacher and student and adjust the speed and depth of my teaching to best help the student succeed. Most importantly I want to the student to leave with a greater understanding of the subject than when they entered.
I taught recitation for Honors Differential Equations, Differential Equations, Calculus 3, Calculus 2 and Introduction to Computer Science as an undergraduate at Georgia Tech and physics and astronomy labs as a graduate student at the University of Tennessee. I was consistently rated highly as a teacher by students.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style varies with skill level. Some children need reinforcement schedules while others just need help puting their foot in the right direction. I let my students know that learning is a team effort, instilling that they are not in this alone and that their success is exciting for myself as well. I believe that this approach helps instill a positive outlook on studying and learning, which will help my students succeed without my help later on in life.
I graduated with a Biopsychology degree or otherwise known as Behavioral Neuroscience. This degree enabled me to study organic and inorganic chemistry, biology (immunology, biochemistry etc.), math (statistics, calculus) and 1 year of physics. My favorite class, however, was a psychology class called learning and behavior. That class has honed my teaching skills and I enjoyed using those skills while tutoring adolescents in ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been working with the UNL's OASIS and WHT program as a tutor for Science, Math, Calculus classes. I have tutored up to 400 level courses. I have also worked as a tutor in Mumbai India for underprivileged students where i tutored calculus, physics, biology and chemistry classes. I have worked as a tutor with UNL for about a year now and in Mumbai India i have worked as a tutor for a year too.
I like to use examples in every thing that i explain and try to relate it to situations we face daily. i believe this helps the students to understand the topic completely. i am patient with my students. i help them understand the topics not just from exams point but also, so that they remember those concepts throughout their career.
