A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is best characterized as unique, practical, and demonstration oriented, and I believe that the combination of these characteristics make me an above average instructor. My words are selected carefully; I specifically chose the words unique and practical based on my methods for introducing topics. In general, I find it most effective when I introduce obscure and/or hard to grasp scientific concepts via ordinary everyday things and ideas that students are used to thinking about. This makes difficult topics seem more approachable and significantly easier to grasp.
My first opportunities to teach began as an undergraduate, where I was tutoring my peers in most basic science topics. My most significant undergraduate teaching experience was an opportunity I created for myself leading weekly review and problem solving sessions for undergraduate Organic Chemistry courses. ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I recently graduated from Texas A&M University earning a BS in biology with a 3.75 GPA. I have taken course work in many disciplines of biology as well as chemistry, biochemistry, physics, algebra, statistics, and English. The curriculum emphasized the importance of integrating concepts rather than memorizing individual points. I developed strong organizational and writing skills. I believe that the ability to articulate your thoughts concisely on paper leads to a better understanding of the material and ability to communicate with others. I have unofficially tutored fellow classmates in algebra and physiology. I was given the opportunity to tutor children grades 1-4 in a local after school program in reading, spelling, and mathematics.
My most recent job was as a nursery caregiver at a church, where I was also a teaching assistant for Bible study. I enjoyed working with the childr ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I come from a family of educators -- a college professor, a principal, an elementary school teacher, and a school counselor and basketball coach. I think all of these members of my family have influenced me in a positive way in regards to teaching. I am a compassionate, patient person and am willing to help when people need it. I have been told by fellow classmates that I should become a teacher. I also have experience in a school-structured summer camp in which training was obtained and a curriculum was followed.
I have completed courses in algebra, calculus, statistics, physics, chemistry, organic chemistry, cell biology, ecology, and other biology related courses all of which require a high math and science competency. I have also performed extensive research at UNCC and graduated with a 3.1. I have also tutored college students in chemistry and algebra on the side.

Since working with the disabled folks I have learned patience is a virtue. I also learned that each person is very unique and learns in different ways. I will meet your child's individual needs and try to show them a subject matter from a different point of view. I strongly believe that if a subject matter is presented in a more fun, exciting way to the student, it becomes more interesting and the child is given the chance to not only memorize material, but more importantly to internalize it.
As a graduate from an accredited college, I have learned and excelled as a science major. I have earned a BA in Biology, which has enabled me to obtain a well rounded education, which focused on math and science. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills throughout my educational experience in writing laboratory reports, research papers, and on my own study I, myself conduc ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I've devoted my life to working with youth. My teaching style is to make the material as interactive as possible. Not all students learn in the same fashion. As a teacher my job is to use a method that best suits each individual student. My style is patient and easy going while making learning fun. I strive to provide the tools and techniques to allow each student to work toward their potential. As we all know from our years in school, there were a small number of teachers that really made a positive impact by how they taught and facilitated the class. I strive to be one of those teachers.
I have spent the last 30 years working with children and families in providing education, information and entertainment. I've been a full time teacher, a substitute teacher, and a tutor for children grades K-12. My company creates education product for the family market. I have earned a masters d ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe in the value of one-on-one tutoring, and I actively listen to the student’s questions and responses to uncover any barriers to the understanding of a problem. I depend upon regular review at the beginning of each session to both assess the student’s progress and grade my own effectiveness as a tutor and mentor. I also employ real-life examples to aid in understanding as I have found that most young people learn and retain far more when practical applications are used to reinforce theory and practice. Finally, in addition to improving grades and preparing for the next level of education, my goal is to equip the student with tools for continued success.
I have earned BS, MS, & PhD degrees in Chemical Engineering. This accomplishment required a broad fundamental knowledge of mathematics, chemistry and engineering. Opportunities for teaching, mentoring and tutoring arose d ... read more

I believe that a great educator is a great learner. I am always up for learning new things, so that I am able to teach someone else my new skill. I believe in a hands on approach to learning. The more that can be discovered by doing is much more beneficial than just reading from a text. I am a patient and caring person who is dedicated to taking the time to make sure that your child receives the attention that he or she needs.
I have wanted to work with kids all my life. I love the way that they learn and think, and how different it is from adults. I studied Biology at Warren Wilson College in hopes of becoming a high school biology teacher. While at college, I did over one hundred hours of service tutoring and mentoring high school and middle school students in Buncombe County. Since graduating in 2009, I decided to take a break from school, and figure out where I wanted to go in ... read more

One of the most important task in tutoring is building up a students self confidence. Some students have a learning barrier due to their lack of confidence in a given subject, so I believe a part of a tutors job is to build the confidence of a student, allowing them to believe they are able to do whatever they put their mind to. I use hands on and visual learning techniques which involves draw pictures, using surrounding objects or using examples students can readily relate to. My main goal is to make it FUN. Once a student finds a subject fun they usually put forth the effort to progress in the program. To tutor for me, is fun and it is a journey that the student and the teacher take together, this is why I enjoy it.

Each child learns in a different way. I enjoy finding what works for each child. In the current state of education, children often find themselves burdened with an exorbitant amount of work that seems endless and impossible to conquer, and parents often find their children stressed and frustrated by a lack of comprehension. Learning should be an adventure into a previously unknown world, not a job. I strive to make that possible for each and every child.
As a fellow during my graduate work at Indiana University, I taught undergraduate courses focused on helping students improve their written and oral communication skills. While pursuing a double major during my undergraduate years at the University of Notre Dame, I served as a university tutor, helping students in chemistry, communications, English and Spanish. Additionally, I have served as a volunteer for Head Start, a national g ... read more

I earned my BS in Biology at a liberal arts school. My education has given me a scientific training that is bolstered with an in depth knowledge of the humanities. Through my education and personal interests I have studied music, poetry, literature, math and natural history. I have striven to integrate these arts with my scientific background. My interests and education have given me extensive training in both math and english; including practice in scientific writing (lab reports and grant writing) and artistic writing (poetry, poetry analyses, and music analyses.
As a liberal arts student, I was taught to pursue the bridge between science and understanding. My education has fostered in me an appreciation of learning, and a belief that comprehension is attainable through multiple avenues. If a student struggles by one avenue, then I believe it is my job to pave another. A student ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Since childhood, my hunger for knowledge has driven me to study and learn about almost as much as I possibly could. My high estimation of learning has often led me to help others to learn whenever I can. Always drawn to math and science, I pursued chemistry in college and received my B.S. from North Carolina State University in Chemistry in 2002. In grade school and high-school I was always looked to by my fellow students for help and explanation of many topics. This continued throughout college where I gained a job tutoring at another school and also worked at the study labs of NCSU. Science and math are my passions, but I can help equally with humanities.
I begin teaching each tutee by first observing their own approach to studying, listening to their explanations and questions about the material, and indentifying their strengths and deficincies with respect to knowledge of the s ... read more

My teaching style revolves around helping the student rationalize the information. I believe it is highly important the student learns to differentiate between the subjective and the objective, providing them with the tools that they can utilize for the rest of their educational and professional careers.
I maintain a high level of patience in dealing with other people. During my studies as an undergraduate and in veterinar school, I have gained extensive knowledge in many subjects. Combined, I have nearly 300 semester hours of biological science course work completed. I am familiar with laboratory procedures and the different styles of writing required for various reports. I also have superb knowledge of what is expected of early studenst to gain entry to and succeed at the higher education level.

I have dedicated the last six years to studying chemistry at the College of William & Mary, first as an undergraduate student and then as a Master's student. I obtained a BS in Chemistry in the spring of 2009 and, having finished my graduate research, have moved back to Asheville to finish writing my thesis in order to complete my Master's in chemistry. In addition to my extensive coursework, I have three years of chemical research experience. Over the past three years, I have successfully tutored a number of students in high school and college in a wide-range of chemistry related subjects, from general chemistry all the way through physical chemistry and more advanced subjects.
I believe that one-on-one instruction is extremely important in the educational process. The large lecture format currently utilized in both high school and college often discourages students from asking ... read more
