Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Drummond, MT

I'm a math minor at the University of Montana, and I've been tutoring at the Math Learning Center there since I was a freshman. I have experience tutoring with all of the classes listed, and I learned a lot of them from different institutions so I can help give a new way of thinking about the subject. I try to teach conversationally and help students get comfortable with the process of doing the problems over just giving the answers. I tend to go with asking questions as a default--I've found it really helps learning, especially with classes like math that are more about understanding the process than regurgitating answers--but during those times we all have when you have no idea where to start, I'm happy to explain it out! My main goal is to help build confidence. Math can suck and it's not everyone's thing, but it often sounds a lot more complicated than it is too. My part is to help u

My goal in studying linguistics is to become a professional ESL teacher. I am very much interested in language development at all levels, but especially in nonnative language development. I am a native speaker of English, but I am also fluent in Spanish as well. I love to teach and learn language. I am a professional student currently enrolled in a master of arts program for applied linguistics at the University of Montana. I will be teaching a course in English for Academic Purposes next year at the university. My specialty concerns the teaching of the four primary skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) to nonnative learners of the English language. Therefore I am qualified to teach English grammar, reading, and writing among other things. I have done a lot of tutoring in the past six years and look forward to helping as many people as I can.

I strongly believe that teachers can influence the passion and understanding a student will have for a subject. While my early teachers had varying styles of educating, I remember the teachers that honestly cared about their subject and inspired me to pursue a career in science. As a math tutor, I understand that children develop at different rates and some find math very difficult to learn. However, with the right amount of patience, positive attitude, and extra attention, these individuals will progress at math and may discover new abilities that propel them to succeed in academics and life. I am a dedicated, considerate tutor that will put in the extra effort that it takes to provide high quality teaching. I have a BS in Wildlife Biology, with honors, which gives me an excellent background in math and science. I have worked as a wildlife field technician over the last four years

I believe in a multifaceted approach to the different types of learners, aural, visual, kinesthetic, and reading/writing and aim to incorporate all learning styles in my teaching. I watched my brother struggle through school and learning disabilities all his life, so I tutored him through math and English since 7th grade. I found if you connect with a student and create ways that speak to him, you can foster learning. I helped my brother write flow charts on full-length mirrors to chart plotlines from books. He was a kinesthetic learner and this method of engaging worked for him. If you don’t create an environment that the students enjoy, they’ll keep texting or turn on their ipod again. The door of learning opens by discovering which type of learner a student is, and creating teaching tools that appeal to him/her. Through patience, kindness, encouragement, and some creative assignments,

I have made several practical--as well as scholarly--studies of learning styles that inform my teaching style. I am a facilitative teacher, one who listens attentively and watches closely to determine my students' learning style preferences and abilities in order to help my students build new skills upon those strengths already developed. My greatest joy is the look on my students' faces when they come to understand something that has resisted their comprehension before I began working with them. I was trained and worked as a Master Tutor to pay my way through both my associate's and my bachelor's degrees' schooling, tutoring math subjects from algebra to biometrics and statistics, and English (academic) writing skills. I taught developmental math at a community college and math for elementary school teachers at a four-year teacher's college, both in New York State, for five years. I tau

With over 15 years of corporate work history as a Materials Science Engineer I possess a wealth of experience in research and end-use applications. That experience is enhanced by a foundation in mathematics and advanced sciences from the number four engineering school in the nation. I am currently pursuing my masters in mechanical engineering from the University of Washington. I tend to teach from theory to application whenever possible. Realizing the benefits in industry tends to drive home the potential for actually applying what you learn in some of the more "obscure" sciences.

I was asked to apply for an undergraduate teaching assistant position at The University of Montana. The following year, I assisted in the laboratory sections of Anatomy and Physiology, teaching basic biology and advanced anatomy and physiology (A&P). I now serve as an instructor, teaching two sections of A&P. In addition, I have served as a student advisor, guiding incoming freshman and assisting them in schedule structure and course loads. I have discovered a love and aptitude for teaching. At times it can frustrate and challenge even the most patient instructors. However, there is little more gratifying than the moments when a student finally “gets it”. Such moments of understanding make the hard work worthwhile. The professors who most impressed me were extremely challenging. One exceptional professor jumps out at me. Her passion for teaching was inarguable and her skill

Through working in Outdoor Education I have developed a very complex teaching style. I find that all students learn differently which means that to be a successful educator, I must be creative and present information in numerous ways. I feel as though I have a great ability to connect with different students' learning styles which allows me to incorporate many different teaching styles. I find great joy in seeing students excel in whatever challenge is set before them. I believe it is extremely important that I make sure to instill confidence in students when they do achieve success. I have a B.A. in Accounting as I have a great passion for the financial world. I have always LOVED math as I feel it gives me a great sense of accomplishment when I am able to take a problem that I've been given and find a solution. I have a strong desire to pass this on to others. I have been workin

My teaching style varies for each individual student. To see a struggling student smile when they finally grasp a concept is very rewarding. I make my students think and do the work. The only way to grasp hard business and math concepts is through repetition and patience. Throughout my life I have tutored many individuals that have crossed my path. As a father and working professional, I have always tried to pass along my knowledge to those that would benefit. A well trained associate is better for all concerned. I currently tutor algebra for 6th grade students.

I have been involved in the field of education since 1982, when I directed and co-designed the residential component of Northwestern University’s Center for Talent Development’s first summer program for gifted students, grades 6 to 9. Since then I have held positions as the Associate Director and Acting Director of the Center for Talent Development, the Director of the Center for Academic Precocity at Arizona State University, and the Director of Sussex School, a K-8 independent school. I have advised and counseled children and their parents, taught courses in gifted education, supervised teachers, conducted research with gifted students, published in education journals, and made numerous presentations about education to parents and professionals. I have also taught undergraduate and graduate psychology, community college mathematics and philosophy, GMAT, LSAT, and SAT preparation class

I have just finished my first year in the MFA-Fiction program at The University of Montana where I also worked as a Teaching Assistant in the English department. As a Teaching Assistant, I taught Basic Composition to undergraduates. Teaching one section of composition each semester, I was responsible for lesson plans, running hour long class periods, grading student essays, holding student conferences, and attending various teaching workshops with my fellow TAs. In the Fall, I will teach another section of composition, and in the Spring of 2009, as a Fiction Fellow, I will have the opportunity to teach an introductory fiction writing workshop. In the past year I have realized how much I love teaching. I believe that as a teacher, I am also a constant learner, always adapting my teaching style to the specific needs of each classroom and each student. I am a strong advocate of creativity,
