Over a decade of teaching and tutoring experience.

Having over a decade of teaching and tutoring experience, I have worked in both the public and private sector. I have taught science and math for grades 8 - 12 and have tutored students ages 10 and up. In addition, I ran the library late night / homework help center program at a local high school. In my last position, I specialized in working with students having learning and or emotional difficulties including anxiety, depressions, ADHD, and autism.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a Bachelor of Art in History, predominantly American. I also pursued Engineering for my first year and plan to go back to College. I have completed through Calculus II and am also experienced in hands-on mechanical. I have limited tutoring experience, but I know I can listen and respond. Any experience came from helping others in classes during College.
I'm patient and listen to the student to see what they get and don't get about the premise of the lesson. Then we get to it. Careful reinforcement of the Correct method will ensure Remembrance and Results. Also, Lessons must be approached within the context of the Big Picture. Students need to realize that there are no pointless or forgettable sections. Basically, communication is key followed by practice, reinforcement, more practice. Learning can be at pace, but laziness and whining will not be tolerated.

Informal for large groups as I wanted the students to see me as like them, but with enough capability to inspire them to listen. I learned early on you cannot make anybody learn anything. You must inspire them to want to learn. At the 1-on-1 setting (tutoring level), I work at a very detailed level with the particular student I have with me at the time. Each one is sufficiently different to warrant different teaching approaches to maximum effect and retention.
During my Doctoral candidate years, I worked as both a engineering lecturer and laboratory instructor for 3 different engineering fields. The fields were circuit design, applied mathematics and practical laboratory equipment usage. I also gave lectures in Applied Optics (physics) for Seniors at Clarkson University during my last Doctoral year (1984-85) at campus.

More About This Tutor...

I hold an Honour's degree (equivalent to a bachelor's degree) in Statistics. During my studies, I was a student assistant for courses in end user computer skills. I've also done one-on-one mathematics tutoring to students from grades 8 to 12 for two years. In the final year of my degree I was a junior lecturer for a semester. I taught Statistics to a class of 60 and achieved a 100% pass rate for the course.
From my experience working with learners/students in both a classroom and a one-on-one capacity, I am comfortable working in either area. I am extremely patient and pride myself on making my students feel comfortable with me and I can adapt my teaching style to suit each child as needed. I come from long line of excellent teachers (as both my parents and my mother's father were all teachers and then principals) so it is in my blood. I know how to relate to children and therefore ... read more

Mathematics courses are interactive in nature. Students should work under the professor’s guidance to learn and use mathematical properties. Individual and group work should be assigned both in class and for out of class application. Some lecture and demonstration should occur. Practice in using mathematical properties should be central to the courses. For each course, a course outline should be given to the students which should include the course description, attendance, resources, course format, evaluation and course objectives. With the aid of mathematics, students will consequently use their latent talents to improve themselves and society.
For several years, I have devoted my life in the teaching of mathematics in the university’s teacher training division; many of the students have become excellent teachers of mathematics all over the world. As an associate professor and he ... read more

I have tutored students privately in subjects ranging from languages to math since 2001. One student has continued French lessons four hours a week every summer for five years. I completed a one-year French as a foreign language course in Martinique. I have taught several French for Beginners adult classes. I substitute teach at the local schools, and cover all ages and subjects (some of which I am more qualified for than others, and in the event I am less qualified, I let the students teach me what they know).
I have wanted to teach since I was in second grade, and am currently working toward my license in Massachusetts. I believe that knowledge is an intimate thing, and that learning should be fun, and confidence-building. I use eliciting techniques, bringing student knowledge to the table first, and then build upon it. Knowing a student is important for preparing relevant materi ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My philosophy of tutoring is (1) Tutoring with a method of enlightenment: a chemistry textbook is full of symbols, equations, concepts etc. (2) Open two-way communication: this is based on a mutual understanding and respect for all students irrespective of their grades. Teaching and learning is a dual direction process. I always create a climate during tutoring to translate my teaching enthusiasm into students’ enthusiasm to learn. All these contribute to a successful tutoring.
Being as a teaching assistant, lab instructor is an important training in my graduate study until I obtained PhD of Chemistry. After graduation, I tutored undergraduate students for their chemistry classes. Tutoring is an efficient way to improve students' understanding and mastering chemistry knowledge. Tutoring is not just a repeat what have been taught in lecture, it is to improve capability of solving pr ... read more

In the classroom, I like to encourage my students to get involved in their work and class discussions. I like to challenge them and often try to get them to think outside the box. I am very fair in terms of grading and am always after school for those who need extra help. I also encourage my students to be respectful to each other and to me. A respectful environment is very important to me. Overall, the more I can get the students engaged in their work, the happier I am.
As a former civil engineer, I am able to apply real world civil engineering related problems in my classroom at the secondary level. I really enjoy teaching math and am thankful that I have experience in the outside world to share with my students. I also have experience tutoring, as I have worked with several students in grades 8-12 over the last 4 years. I would like to continue tutoring as I find it very ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that all children learn best when they experience success. Therefore, I make sure to give all my students opportunities to succeed by asking questions that challenge students to think but are not impossible to answer. My teaching style involves a combination of constructivism and direct instruction. Instead of lecturing, I pose questions, calling on students randomly. When I restate what is correct about a student's answer, my students understand that they have successfully contributed to the learning process. I point out any misconceptions that might arise before they do, so my students avoid making common mistakes. I supplement my lessons with visual representations and videos for visual learners, as well as hands-on, inquiry-based activities for tactile learners. I have extensive experience using technology in the classroom and have designed many interesting laborator ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

For the past six years, I have worked as a secondary ed. mathematics teacher and have done a significant amount of tutoring during this time as well. I love being a teacher and a one-on-one tutor because it allows me to make a difference in students' lives, not only academically, but personally as well. Math is not always a well-liked subject, but I take pride in explaining/teaching math in a way that students can understand. I have had great success in the education field and am excited to continue my work through the Advanced Learners experience.
My teaching style is clear and to the point. I try to break down the material to a point the student is comfortable with and build upon their former knowledge as much as possible. I believe all students can learn math as long as they are open to it. Math is not the enemy. It is my job to help students make a connection to the subj ... read more
