Algebra I Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Crescent, OR

I am a firm believer in demanding excellence from my students. Also, without a goal one cannot achieve anything; therefore we set challenging goals, and utilize every resource in our capacity to achieve those goals. To take the student on the most challenging course as an educator sometimes we must take the course with them. Rather than teach to the student, we immerse ourselves into the lesson as a learner and play the inquisitive intellectual, prodding ideas and eagerness from our students. We as educators cease not to be students, and when we succeed in educating our students we are rewarded with playing the role of student and listening and learning from the student-generated inquiry.. So far, I have gained insight into the inquisitive and intellectual critique of humanity in studying anthropology at the undergraduate level. My studies opened me to living as well as working ab

My teaching style will vary according to the task at hand. For example, in teaching or tutoring basic, knowledge-based subjects, my approach is more structured and gear towards building knowledge and mastery of the subjects at hand. In preparing students for educational success, my style is adjusted to the student. That is, every student is different and unique, and will demonstrate his or her own natural learning abilities. In this respect, I work closely with students to discover those intangibles that motivate and inspire them to learn. I can definitely teach young people the skills they need to be successful in their education and in life in general. I have over 35 years experience teaching at the university level including courses in statistics, research methods, medical sociology, writing, and numerous other topics. I have also conducted management training to public service

I am a patient and laid back type of tutor. I like to make students feel comfortable around me and realize that I have a genuine concern for their academic achievements. I believe all students learn differently, so it is always my goal to find the method in which the student learns. I believe that all students can reach their academic goals given the proper opportunities. I am a graduate from Georgia College & State University with a Bachelor of Science in chemistry. As a chemistry graduate, I am very familiar with the subject. In addition to my own academic achievements, I tutored mathematics and chemistry at Georgia Military College for 3.5 years. My tutoring experience has given me the skills to help students of various backgrounds reach their academic goals.

I strive to understand the underlying concepts in every piece of mathematics I do. I wish to inspire a similar understanding in my students by asking questions that provoke them to reach for, and obtain the answer for themselves. Answer keys, or too much help is never beneficial in the long run and math is a requirement for every college degree. It is never too early to start building a strong foundation based on a thorough understanding of core concepts. After several changes in intended career direction and four years of general education with an pre-engineering emphasis, I have earned my associates degree and transfered to the University of Oregon as a pre-math major. I expect to have my bachelor's degree in two years and am doing so with tutoring as an occupation in mind.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a primary focus in International Business, a secondary focus in Marketing Management and a Minor in Speech Communication, along with a certification for Economics through Lunds Universitet in Lund, Sweden, where I spent a semester abroad. I have just returned from Lausanne, Switzerland where I spent the past year teaching English, interpersonal skills and nonverbal communication to two Suisse/French children, ages three and five, who had no previous knowledge of the English language. My academic and professional training combined with my passion for helping others, has equipped me with the necessary tools required for a highly successful and rewarding teaching career. My teaching style involves a large degree of listening and patience. I strongly believe that each student requires a unique teaching style, tailored to his

I have worked as a tutor since I was sixteen years old, first as a peer tutor, and then in various contexts following my college graduation. I have experience working with learners at varying levels: special education, advanced, learning disabilities, and standard and have worked in classrooms, treatment programs, and wilderness programs. I am particularly comfortable working with students struggling either because of their behavioral issues or learning or developmental disabilities. I have an extensive academic background and attended a liberal arts college, in which I studied all disciplines but especially honed my writing and research skills. I can tutor in several areas, including English, History, Sociology, Psychology, and mathematics and the sciences, depending on the level. I believe that the most important element of teaching and tutoring is the ability to vary one's teaching st

As an advanced student in highschool algebra, my teacher chose me to tutor one struggling athlete and one girl trying to raise her B to an A for acceptance to an Ivy League University. In discovering their different learning styles, I was able to teach my students in a way they understood. Seeing the light in their eyes as they figured out a problem gave me a passion for teaching. Your student is capapble of learning; it is my responsibility to discover their learning style and present the material in a way that he or she understands. In addition to completing accounting courses for my B.S. in Accounting, I completed two courses in Child Development and Education, and all college level math courses through Calculus. I have tutored students in math since 1989. At Juniper Elementary in Bend, OR, I was a Good News Club teacher and volunteered as a reading specialist working to improve r

My teaching experience has all been in volunteer roles. I taught Sunday School class and Youth Group at New Hope Church in Bend for grades 5 through 12. I have recently applied for and been accepted as a mentor in the Deschutes County COPY (Central Oregon Partnership for Youth) program, and have gone through a 6-hour mentorship training program as a requirement of the program, in addition to fingerprinting and a criminal background check. My Bachelor of Science degree gave me a strong math background, and I have significant experience in writing technical documents, and proofreading reports. Learning is like a puzzle or a code, and I enjoy the reaction of students when they finally solve the puzzle, or decipher the code. I try to show the student the practical application of the subject, and then make them enjoy their time learning. I love seeing the joy of the "Aha!" moment. I hop
