A Little Bit About Me...

A teacher can only be successful if his student efficiently learns through effective communication. I find the best style of communicating Math to every individual. I am very patient and understanding with a talent to discern a student’s heart and mind. I am very encouraging and possess all the skills needed to take the frustration and anxiety out of learning Math and Science.
High personal values get forged and refined in the fire of academic challenge. I value excellence and doing quality work. I have BS degrees in Mathematics and Electrical Engineering, two of the most challenging fields in education. I achieved success by developing personal qualities required to meet the challenge these two technical fields imposed and demanded upon me. The personal success of achieving high goals is the reward of sacrifice and self-discipline. I know exactly what each client needs to ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I’ve graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biology in 2009. My Biology coursework has centered on theory, problem solving and critical thinking. I have taken multiple Biology, Chemistry, Physic, Math and Psychology classes which have enabled me to improve my knowledge and understanding of the subject. I have also taken various computer skills, writing, and test taking classes that can prepare student with confident when entering an entrance or regular exam. I also have a vast knowledge in biological/health science disciplines. As a result of my rewarding, teacher assistant and tutoring during my four academic years in science and math, I am confident that I could make a strong contribution to help students to understand the material.
Throughout many years of tutoring my peers and underclassmen, I have obtained several techniques to help students study effectively. Depend on e ... read more

I try to put the difficult concepts of mathematics and chemistry into words and experiences that the student can understand. In the words of one of my tutees I teach "Barney-Style". In other words I talk in words they can understand whether I'm tutoring a 4th grader or a college student. It is my goal to make the subject less scary and more fun.
From second semester freshman year I have tutored mathematics and chemistry. First it was at the campus learning center at Westminster College, then I went on to pursue a graduate degree in chemistry at Penn State University where I found that I like to teach more than I wanted to be a PhD Chemist, I was a teaching assistant for both Physical Chemistry Lab and General Chemistry for non-majors. It was this teaching experience that led me to tutor for the PSU Ag Science department in both chemistry and mathematics. I have also volunteer ... read more

I always enjoyed teaching mathematics topics such as Calculus to students. That subject in particular is needed for many applied fields in which several (engineering, physics, actuarial science) I have both working and educational experience in. I tutored for three years in various mathematics subjects at Penn State.
I enjoy teaching adults and young adults who may be in high school or college. You can always find a way to relate the material to the student, and that is the key for them not just to understand it but care about it and have motivation. Such distracted or unprivileged students just need someone to sit down with them and break the teachings down for them.
