Math and Business Tutor

I have completed all College level Math classes for an Electical Engineering degree. Math is my area of expertise. I also have several other areas that I have tutored and been able to help students (see my course list). My experience includes 25 years of real world experience in the engineering and business fields which when balanced with my book based knowledge has allowed me to improve the tutoring experience by providing concrete, real world examples within several study areas.
Open to what style works best for the student. I can teach directly through examples, check work that the client has completed, ensure preparation for any test is adequate, etc.

When I graduated with my Bachelor of Science degree in 2002, I accepted a job at a small school in upstate NY that needed a PE teacher. I quickly learned to just relax and "go with the flow" of how the students learned the material and what kind of different activities that we could do to "drive home" the concept of what we were studying. I also learned to be very flexible. I wore many many different hats that first year of teaching which has given me to experience I needed in my recent years of teaching. I am passionate about sports, athletics, history and teaching as a whole!
As I mentioned in the above paragraph, I meet the child where they are in their learning style. I can adapt to how they learn best and then use different activities and tools to again, "drive home" the concept of what the child may be struggling with. I love teaching anything!

Throughout my educational career, I have always had a passion for teaching math and science. Knowledge of the subjuects come easy to me and I have been able to successfully convey the various concepts to other students and peers. I have a researcher background where I have developed my technical writing skills. I have taught and tutored environmental sciences, math, and history.
Enabling a student to percieve an idea or to help them solve a problem is my passion. Using thinking outside of the box methods, I open up a new way of percieving concepts. I love to teach based on hands on methods. I truly believe it's the best way to learn. Therefore, I try to incorporate this method through creative measures.

Through the course load of my college career my studies also incorporated normal life span development, personality development, abnormal development, prevention, group behavior, cultural variations, and ethical and professional issues. I have developed specific knowledge and skills that incorporate broad application to many working environments. Overall, the classroom courses provided me a blend of theory and application. I had the opportunity to explore internship opportunities throughout the community in a wide variety of settings to provide experiences in applying knowledge and skills.

Teachers who can consistently employ all three qualities throughout their careers will be succe ... read more

In my experience with teaching, I find that the best way to connect and convey the information is to provide aural, visual and experiential exposure to the material. Everyone does not learn at the same pace or through the same exposure to material. It is also important to be perceptive to the possibility of student frustration as this is almost always a road block that will arise and if not identified can lead to lower absorption of the material or complete lack of understanding and drive altogether.
As a re-founding member and President of the Syracuse University chapter of the National Society of Pershing Rifles (www.pershingriflessociety.org) I was responsible for the planning and instruction of between 12 and 20 students in the areas of Leadership, Project Management, Exhibition Drill and Wilderness Survival. Throughout my engineering curriculum I was very often tasked with ass ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a History graduate, I fascinated and intriqued with the how powerful lessons of American History can relate to students of all walks of life. At Delaware State University, I double majored in Animal/Poultry Science as well as History because of the natural science aspects of the curriculum. I am a seasoned researcher, writer, and speaker. Infact, I know 2 other languages; French and Spanish.
I love all sorts of positive ideals of teaching, especially when the teacher gives students the power to teach themselves by relating everyday experiences, such as sights and sounds with different lesson planners. I understand how the human works in a classroom, some students will grasp concepts because of their up bringing and the results of having a balance home. Others will sometimes wander off, mentally because of attention. There are other cases, but I believe every child needs a fair c ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have always wanted to teach. When I was a child I would round up the kids in my neighborhood and make them do lessons that I created. I do remember they did not like that. I went to college and earned a BS in Biology always knowing that I would eventually teach the sciences. I was an excellent student and have always found pride in myself on my ability to communicate with clearity. I have one year of tutoring experience at the k-12 level. Attaining a degree in the sciences has helped me to develop key writing as well as key listening skills. I am very capable of tutoring in most subjects.
I would say that my teaching style is very interactive. Anyone can give instructions but I love feedback from a one on one situation as well as a group environment. I base alot of my instruction on analogies; when a person can relate an experience or another word to a term being tought, t ... read more

I believe that each student brings something different to the classroom. In my classroom, I want to foster the students' ideas and thoughts. I want the students to have a sense of pride in their thoughts. I am aware that students have different learning styles, so I am capable of altering my own style to make sure each student grasps the concepts that I want them to learn.
During my undergraduate career, I student taught ninth grade English at Glasgow High School. I taught five 9CP courses and 1 SAT Prep course. So I have experience working with students and I am very skilled in teaching English Language Arts concepts.

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy being around the students. I wake up every morning wanting to go to work. There are so many students that learn in many different ways and I have always structured my lessons to try to reach all of those students. I have many hand-on activities and also power-point lessons. The day that the teacher sits behind a desk and has the students reading from books are long over. I am very active in the classroom and try to make learning interesting and exciting. If I can change the mind of one student it makes all the time and energy worth wild.
In 2002 I went back to school to earn my bachelor's degree so I could continue on with my Masters. Two years later I graduated with my Master's of Education in Counseling. A situation came into play at the school and I was asked to "fill-in" for a 7th grade Language Art Teacher. She never returned and I taught the classes from Octo ... read more

I earned my Masters Degree in Business Management/Business Administration later in life. I always felt that it was very important to try to improve one self and to help those who are in need of help. I think is very important to strive to ensure that every child has the chance to be the best that they can be and have the best education they deserve.
I love teaching and working with all children. I have always wanted to be a teacher, but life happened and I was married living half way around the world in another country constantly moving. I beleive all children can learn it just may take someone to give them a little help and direction.

The University of Delaware has integrated me into the education field with a variety of experiences. I will earn my degree in May of 2011, becoming certified in Elementary Teacher Education and Middle School Social Studies. Over the past few years, I have strengthened in my ability to work with students of diverse needs and present effective instruction for the particular learner. This increases the student's motivation and desire to learn. From the opportunity to study abroad in Spain and Italy, I was exposed to different cultures broadening my understanding of human nature. Part of my course work has included developing unit plans, lesson portfolios, assessments and materials for students.
As an educator, my understanding and approach to learning comes from placing myself in the perspective of the student. Therefore, student's opinion on coursework needs to be heard in order to c ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe each child has their own learning style. Through a variety of approaches and materials each child can find success in reading and math in their elementary school years. I enjoy finding each child's path to success.
I have taught Special Education for 26 years and third grade for 6. I have tutored using the Reading Assist program and various other methods for reading. I also have many techniques for teaching math to young learners. I enjoy working with children one on one or in small groups. I have retired from teaching but would like to continue working with children part-time. I have been substituting the past couple of years since retiring.
