Physics is one of my top subjects!

As a masters degree holding physicist I have an extensive background in both physics and mathematics. Additionally, as a published author and the author of many research papers and lab reports I have considerable grammatical skills, and writing experience. My whole educational career tutoring my classmates and siblings has come as second nature to me, but I have had official teaching assistant and course assistant roles in helping edit student essays, and in introductory physics courses. Additionally, I have tutored students in astronomy, chemistry, history of science, and mathematics at levels ranging from basic arithmetic to calculus. I also have considerable experience with standardized testing, drawing and painting.
I am a calm, patient, and easy-going person who loves learning and loves helping others to learn. I enjoy adapting to different learning styles, and want to h ... read more

No drudgery!

Student-led and interactive. No lectures. No drudgery. I focus on the process of solving problems. Restate the question. Draw diagrams. Figure out what information is missing. How can I get that information? Can it be calculated or is an estimate good enough? What sources are reliable?
I solve problems. I am a bioanalytical chemist and biomedical engineer. This profession requires using math, statistics, biology and chemistry at a high level on a daily basis as I develop products that improve healthcare. I have taught or tutored science and math from elementary to post-college level for over 25 years in diverse settings.

Professional Exam Prep and Subject Tutoring

I am a professional tutor for middle school, high school, and college level mathematics, physics, and SAT/ACT Prep. My tutoring expertise is based in four and a half years of experience as the Head Tutor for the Physics and Mathematics departments at the University of North Carolina at Asheville (UNCA), three cumulative years of SAT/ACT Prep experience, and a deep passion for helping students embrace their unique potentials and reach new heights.
During my time as Head Tutor at UNCA, regardless of department, I tutored over 200 students in mathematics and physics. Of those students, at least 80% saw an increase of at least one letter grade and at least 20% saw an increase by two letter grades. Many students I tutored in one subject came back to be for tutoring in the other. For many of my students I served as an invaluable mentor who guided them from their earliest days as a colleg ... read more

My comments on tutoring Physics : Took both college-level, calculus-based, general physics courses. Topics: Newton's laws, angular motion, kinematics, inertia, momentum, electrical, magnetic, and basic concepts involving circuit boards.

Tutored on TutorSelect.come before a few years back and successfully tutored over ten individual students as well as a couple of group sessions with in between 2 and 4 students. All the students I tutored were either in high school or college. My topic I predominately tutor and that I most enjoy tutoring is mathematics. I've taken Algebra, Trigonometry, Pre-calculus, all three college Calculus courses, and Differential Equations. I also took both college-level General Chemistry courses and both calculus-based Physics courses. I also was responsible in most of my classes for developing a weekly schedule for tutoring/studying course topics with fellow classmates and friends. I enjoy any math based or related science topics, enjoy problem solving, and working with people. I Aslo helped both of my younger siblings learn math and chemistry related topics.

My comments on tutoring Physics : 5 years tutoring experience

I have been tutoring for over 10 years in all types of Math, including Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Precalculus, Calculus etc. I have also been tutoring in Chemistry and Physics. I have experience tutoring at the Middle School, High School, and College levels. I love tutoring students with diverse backgrounds ethnically, educationally, economically etc. I love people and I love teaching!
Different students have different 'keys' to learning. I utilize a flexible approach which seeks to 'unlock' the potential in each individual student.

A Little Bit About Me...

Though I am a student of Biotechnology, helping others in the field of mathematics has been of interest in that its a common “language” worldwide. Prior to completing my General Arts degree, I had aided two individuals in math, an adult and a high school student in college algebra; and recently aided a coworker this past year in the same subject. In addition, I had later acquired 70+ credit hours towards an Electrical Engineering Degree, which further honed my math skills into the range of college level calculus, trigonometry, differentials, and basic statistics. Furthermore, I have experience in working with the public for 10+ years in customer support/service environments.
All who wish to learn have but to ask for help. I believe anyone can learn anything they want and that no one deserves to be told otherwise. In tutoring math, the individual needs to have their homework pr ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I like helping people. I love working with children and am a very easygoing person. I feel all children given the right push can succeed in whatever they put their mind to. I like to teach young minds and mold them into educators of the future.
I have much experience in mathematics and science. My degree was attained through Chemistry, Physics and Atmospheric Science classes. My mathematics background is strong. I got a 790 on my math portion of my SAT, completed college Calculus I, II, and III, differential equations, and even a bit of statistics.

I am a very energetic person and try to bring that to everything that I do. I am also very concerned with providing students with an understanding of the concept behind what they are learning and what the real-world applications of those concepts are. I feel that it is the key to engage students by making them see the benefits of their education in the long run.
I have recently graduated from the University of Richmond with a degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. I am looking forward to helping others expand their knowledge in the area of science. I have tutored high school students in chemistry and biology, and have gain knowledge of both fields through my degree in biochemistry, enabling me to be versatile in subject matter.

More About This Tutor...

I have several teaching styles, and I typically adjust my style to better fit the student. For those students that crave discipline, I try to be very proactive and actively assign homework for them to finish prior to learning. For those students who have better self control, I try to stand back a little bit to let them develop their own creativity. Regardless of the teaching styles I may use, I am always accessible and patient. I always try my hardest to help the student to exceed.
I have always known that I enjoy teaching others. In fact, I started teaching others almost as soon as I finished myself. While my degree is in Environmental Science, I have extensive background in both biology and chemistry. I was a peer leader and tutor for organic chemistry. Furthermore, I currently work for Duke University as a laboratory manager. One of my key responsibility is teaching undergraduat ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My general teaching style is whole-person and learner-centered, with an approach tailored to each student's individual needs, aptitude and attitude. I blend traditional and modern teaching methodologies that engage mind, body and senses in the process of content discovery and mastery. In my math/physics tutoring practice, these methods include drills, common-sense reasoning, humor, micro-lecture, guided imagery, teacher-student role reversal, kinesthetic investigation, and use of table-top manipulatives and color-coded equations, graphs and diagrams. I select specific tools and techniques in consultation with my students, incorporating their individual preferences and their own sense of what best helps them learn. Enthusiasm rules!
My professional tutoring experience began in 1986, when I started work as a graduate teaching assistant in physics. Since then I have taught physics and ... read more
