My approach is a little different using humor to destress students. I believe in each student understanding the underlying concepts via instruction, physical materials and hands-on activities. I have a lot of patience. I love working with different and even difficult and shy students. I am a seasoned veteran tutor, and I enjoy, no love, mentoring, teaching, volunteering, training, or instructing almost as a hobby! I am especially passionate about career education and counseling as well as psychology and mathematics. Oooh and English too! I enjoy playing guitar and writing, also playing and instructing playing soccer.

In 1999-2000, I provided highly individualized, one-on-one instruction in the client's homes while working with a local tutoring company. I am an experienced educator and state certified instructor with impeccable credentials and a heartfelt enthusiasm for teaching. More recently, I have tutored adults participating in an Adult Literacy Program. I assisted them in their GED preparation in Math and helped them set and reach their short-term educational goals. More recently, I worked with incarcerated individuals preparing them for the GED test, improving their testing skills, and promoting a positive environment for learning. I am actively tutoring students in Pre-Algebra on a weekly basis. Although instructors/tutors have a preferred teaching style, I will often mix in some elements of other styles. If I wish to take a more open approach to my teaching, I include a blend of various style

Scored a 32 on my ACT in high school (and a 34 equivalent on my SAT) Have mentored students in a relaxed manner as well as in a strict scheduled manner, can do both. For Math/Sciences I generally use example problems to help learn a core concept then use an application style problem to help the student solidify their understanding, rather than just memorize the process. Strong skills editing a students writing, both creative and technical. I enjoy coding and CAD and have developed a few methods that the student can use to help them debug issues. If we somehow come across something unknown to me, I have a library of reference material and will find the correct answer promptly (and on my own time, not on your dime) Have 2 years of real world experience working with engineering clients while in college.

I encourage questions and believe in a lot of practice. I believe that all students can learn with a patient tutor. Many of my students find math frustrating but I have the ability to break all concepts down to the most basic elements and build from there. I also encourage questions and being comfortable asking questions to facilitate the learning experience. I have tutored math and history for years at all levels from middle school through college. I have a bachelors degree from UNC-Chapel Hill and a masters degree from Rutgers University. I find it very rewarding to teach students and help them overcome their academic challenges. Many students struggle with math due to bad teaching or fear. My success lies in getting to the root of the issue and building from there. A calculus professor once told me that the only way you learn math is by doing math. Therefore, I encourage lots of p

My teaching style all depends on the subject and the student. Everyone learns differently. Unfortunately, the public school system seems to disagree with that. I begin by assessing the type of learner you are and from there I pick my teaching style. I have experience in and outside of the classroom in all of the fields I listed. From a 4.0 G.P.A to sales office growth I have learned a lot and am eager to share my experience in order to help others. English is and will always be my favorite subject. I have done speech writing and presenting to essay competitions. God blessed me with a way with words and I have used it to excel in many areas of my life.

My method is to reach students exactly where there at and use methods that would stimulate all types of learners . Once I was teaching a group of sixth graders who would be entering Algebra soon. I gave them a true life math example. Our equasion; a party with the number of students, quantity of different items and costs. When we devided the items their costs with the number of students we came up with how much each student had to pitch in. In this example I had some items that were to be used and they were able to touch them. I also told them very clearly what was going on while I was writing it all down. This stimulated many different learning types My teaching experience began at a Riverside County Probation Facility for Wards of the court in Banning California. I began there as a Building Maintainance Mechanic and worked my way up to a vocational education teacher. After that I work

As an undergrad I attended Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois, a school well-known for its academic excellence, where I studied Christian Education under a group of highly talented professors. While this degree was not a typical teaching degree, it incorporated a significant amount of educational theory, communication skills, and developmental psychology which I have used as a mentor, Sunday school teacher, and tutor. I then attended Fuller Theological Seminary as a master’s student where I studied theology and youth ministry. This program allowed me to further study the developmental issues connected with adolescents, as well as increase my writing and critical thinking skills through the study of theology, philosophy, and history. I have worked with middle school and high school students in a church setting for 9 years. I began tutoring last year, working with elementary and Jr.

Through the process of entering and attending dental school I attained a great knowledge of the sciences and chemistry subjects. I have also learned vast organizational skills, which I would like to pass on. I have also written many research papers based on science subjects. I enjoy tutoring because I am able to pass on the knowledge that I have learned over the years. This knowledge can help academic and self confidence problems linked the certain subjects. The key to successful tutoring is to link the "trouble course" to feelings of enjoyment. The path to linking the course depends on student personality and interests. The student will experience more motivation and interest once the subject is properly associated to enjoyment. This starts the foundation for increased learning and a way to bypass the “learning block”. Other keys involve patients and proper explanation of the subject, w

I obtained a B.S. in Chemical Engineering which provides me with a strong base in math, physics and chemistry and am a licensed professional engineer (PE) in Chemical Engineering and Environmental Engineering each of which required passing a rigorous 8-hour exam. As a result, I've gained valuable experience in preparing for and successfully passing tests as well as applying math and science principles to solve real-world problems in a practical manner. I have also tutored math and science in the past and helped students succeed by explaining difficult concepts in an easy to understand manner. I truly enjoy teaching students and helping them overcome their problems and empowering them with skills that will allow them to be successful even after our tutoring sessions have concluded. I am especially committed to math and science education and want to help students unlock their full potenti

My core teaching ideals come from the motto, "a child needs love most when he least deserves it". In our society, too many people look for reasons to help others. For me, working with children is my duty to them. It is my duty to understand that each child is different and therefore needs differentiated instruction. As I strive to focus on positive reenforcement with my students, I give them opportunities to set goals and succeed. It is those moments of success that the student's will cling to, not the small facts that I teach that will truly make a difference in each of their lives. Since I was first a high school graduate, I have been fascinated with education and helping young people. Whether it was volunteering as a coach, working as a resident's assistant, giving tours on campus, working at summer camps, or working with students with disabilities I have supplemented my collegi

I am very patient and understanding, and I take great pride in providing my students with various lesson plans to accommodate their various ways of learning. All students can achieve success, and I feel as if it is my obligation as a teacher and tutor to encourage my students to reach their highest potential. I am currently a substitute teacher specializing in math, science, history, English, and German with the company, 'Substitute Teachers Unlimited,' which employs me throughout the greater Phoenix area. I am also a professional actor, voiceover artist, actor/teacher, and yoga instructor!
