Logic Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Elon, NC

I have been tutoring at Forsyth Technical Community College since September 2008. I work on average, over the 5 years, 15 hours a week, but now working 21 hours a week since I am now out of school. I have done private tutoring for about 3 years now, either with people from met from school or from tutoring. I got a BS in both Mathematics and Computer Science in May of 2013. Math and computers have always been my strength, and when getting my degree, I would always help my friends in their classes. It depends on the student and what they are doing. If all they need is practice, then I will let the student do all of the work, interjecting only to give advice or to correct a mistake if the student does not catch it themselves. If needed, I will work out similar problems. If the student needs help understanding, I first go in depth why it works and why you do what you do. I then give

As an UNCC graduate, I got the opportunity to obtain a broad and in-depth knowledge in the field of Electronic Engineering. I earned a BS and an MS in Electronic Engineering which gave me the opportunity of gain an understanding in the areas of math and science, including Calculus, Differential Equations, Statistics, Physics and Quantum Physics. In addition, I have been able to use this knowledge in the past ten years and apply it in the industry, exercising problem solving skills in the engineering field. While I was in college, I worked as a Tutor helping other college students in the areas of Math and Physics. During the last three years, I have tutored students in the area of Math, Physics and Spanish. I have also experience in preparing people for the Spanish Praxis exam. My native language is Spanish and I completely fluent in both Spanish and English. I enjoy teaching and help oth

I am a graduate from top university with a degree in Electrical Engineering and am also able to teach maths and physics to 'A' level. I have been told that my approach to teaching makes it enjoyable for my students. I am happy to travel up to 10 miles from my home and am currently available evenings and weekends.I have given private tuition to a number of pupils with excellent results. I always have the highest expectations of pupils.This is an approach I have found to pay rich dividends in terms of a pupil's academic and personal development.I have almost 4 years of experience of one-to-one tuition. I have a very good success rate with all of my pupils.

I tutored middle school and high school students in math when I was in a high school, specifically algebra I and II, as well as SAT prep. In college, I helped students in calculus, biology, and statistics, as these are the primary focus of my undergraduate degree. I was also a Resident Advisor for 3 years, which lent itself to helping students with coursework as well as college life. Finally, in Michigan, I tutored master's level students in their statistics courses, both individually and in study groups.

I like to give the children more hands on material, to try and reach them at their respective level. For adults, I do help them, but try and guide them to figure it out on their own. I have found in my experience that it is better retained when the client thinks through it them selves. I have worked with children between the ages of 4-10 tutoring in areas like math and spanish. Also, I have helped adults better understand logic course material more fluently at my school NC A&T State University. Held a refresher course for elementary children during summer camps i've worked at for their english. I also like to work with the client and figure out new ways to help them better understand. This has been done through games,relevant age appropriate references, and other means.

I graduated from Ronald Reagan High School with a 4.6 GPA in the second graduating class ('08), then went on the NC State University to study Engineering, where I jumped in between various Engineering programs for three years before simply deciding to take a break and truly figure out what I want to study. While this may deter several people from choosing me, I know that if you met me and/or any of my teachers from any grade level, they/I could certainly set the record straight, as I am quite a smart person, I have simply struggled with getting my life into an appropriate schedule. This is because between high school, my extra curriculars (captain of the drumline for three years and a captain of the lacrosse team for three years), and my parents, my life was completely structured for me, so what little free time I had was easy to budget, this is not the case in high school. I am a ver

Web manager and usability analyst as well as instructor. I have been asked at various jobs to teach training classes to my peers because of my ability to deliver an easy to understand lesson. I've been told I am very good at explaining a topic that someone has no experience with at all. I am on contract with NC States Computer Training Unit. I try to find the teaching style that is going to work for the student. Are they visual? Do they need to touch to learn? Finding out how to teach them and then helping them learn skills for independent study are just as important as the material.

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 college freshman to the day the walked across the stage and earned their degree. Over the past five years, I have helped more than 100 students gain admission to their dream colleges and have averaged a score increase of approximately 260 points for the SAT and 6.5 points for the ACT. I have personally played a role in the lives of students who have earned admission into such institutions as Stanford, Duke, UVA, Cal Tech, Georgia Tech, UNC, and UPenn.

I use active modern teaching styles making sure that the summary of the teaching activity comes from the student and not a recipe from the teacher.The didactical approach depends on the subject I teach and the ability of my student.to learn and his psycho-pedagogical needs. I am trained to teach grade 11 & 12 of High School in philosophy, religion and/or social sciences.I taught these subjects as well as french from 1986 to 1993. From 1987 to date I ve been teaching philosophy, Systematic theology , Missions, and connex human and social sciences, in Universities and Colleges, mostly in Africa, and I taught six months at Pilgrims Theological Institute in Burlington, North Carolina, from November 2008 to April 2009.

My love of mathematics provides me with a passion to help everyone understand and get competent in the field. Having taught and tutored at the various levels, I realize that everyone learns differently. I am a true believer in the concept of Universal Design for Learning, which is a theory that you structure your lessons so that the concepts are available for all learners. I always present concepts mathematically, visually, verbally, along with exercises and activities. I try to relate the topics to everyday life so that the student understands why it might be important and relevant to their lives. I graduated Phi Beta Kappa, Magna Cum Laude with honors in Mathematics from Brandeis University. I proceeded to graduate school, where I studied math and taught calculus for two years. Not wanting to spend my career doing research, I went into the business world, first getting an MBA from Ma

I have a direct and simple teaching method. I love teaching physics and it always came naturally to me but I understand that most people do not feel the same way. I try to help students gain a deep understanding of the subject matter so that the principles and concepts are learnt and not simple formula memorizing. I do this so that when the student comes across a problem that does not fit the general shape of previous problems they can use the concepts learned to solve the problem. In short I try to teach problem solving and not rote learning in my subjects. I have been tutoring,mentoring and teaching students over the last 5 years in Physiology, Physical Fitness, and Physics. I have taught online, one on one and in a classroom setting. I have taught practical application to theory as well as theory of the relevant subjects. I have been involved in research projects as well as published

I have mentored and taught students in different settings for at least 8 years. I have a BS in Technical Management. Basically I am a business manager that is also a computer expert. I currently work as a contractor for a company in Chapel Hill. I am also pursuing my MBA in Finance. My teaching style varies depending on the level of the student and also the students approach to learning. I mostly believe in an interactive way of teaching. I like this style because it engages the student and keeps them interested in what you are trying to teach them

I am by nature an encourager. I am optimistic every child can learn -- the trick is to spark an interest in the subject and communicate the material to them in an understandable way. Learning at its best should be fun and educational, though not necessarily entertaining. Having said that, there are no shortcuts for hardwork and homework and repetitions on problem solving. I have left the corporate after 18 years to pursue teaching. I have two bachelors degrees in physics & mech. engineering. I want to put these to use and make an impact on kids in my community. I have been pursuing a lateral teaching entry position, while substituting. I am mentoring with a local teacher and have finished a course in effective teaching. I am tutoring at my church and reading education material, along with boning up on science material.
