A Little Bit About Me...

My ultimate aim would be to teach the student how to successfully learn on his own. I would first determine the set of circumstances unique to each student. For example, are they far behind their class or just having problems grasping some concepts? I would modify my teaching style depending on the situation, but in general I identify facts that need to be memorized and concepts that need to be understood. We would work through material, in a textbook, for example. Finally the student must apply logic and related skills (algebra, for example) needed for problem solving. Problem solving ties facts and concepts together and brings a deeper comprehension of and familiarity with the subject.

A Little Bit About Me...

When I was a high school kid, I finished the highest math class during grade 11. Since I was so good at mathematics, my teachers suggested me to tutor my classmates in math and science. Later, my study in the University of Connecticut has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math and science, especially mathematics. During my college life I have also tutored students in mathematics, and physics.
Since my parents were both teachers,to be a math teacher is my dream all the time. Although I have earned one bachelor degree in accounting, I still hope I can be an excellent teacher someday. I love teaching and working with all children and I believe all children can meet their goals if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning methods. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. Just give me three months, I am available to help your child find academic succe ... read more

Teaching can be an instantly rewarding experience as one is able to watch the moment of a student's realization of a concept. All students can learn, but the job of an educator is to understand how they learn most effectively and what they want to learn. I believe the integration of technology and computing is essential to increasing the performance of students in science. Students are able to rise to their potential when they participate, ask questions, give full effort, pay close attention, interact respectfully with others, and challenge ideas. Providing a learning environment that encourages all the preceding characteristics is my ultimate objective as an educator.
Throughout my academic career, I have worked as a mentor and tutor in the subjects of chemistry, biology, and mathematics. Over the past eight years, I have tutored undergraduate students and taught chemistry labora ... read more

I believe that every individual has potential if taught by the right teacher for them. Thus, I have high expectations of all students I teach and expect them to show a willingness to learn! I instill motivation and confidence in my students and expect them to become well disciplined. I am able to employ a variety of teaching and learning techniques so that I can determine which ones work best for individual students and I tailor lessons to suit them. I enjoy helping students develop cognitive skills: encourage students to investigate ideas and understand fundamental concepts. I also encourage students to ask questions (no matter how stupid the questions seems to them-no question is stupid!.

Personally, I have seen (and experienced myself) the benefits of students learning underlying principles of math material via hands on, sequential learning processes. It is of the utmost importance that a student understands the separate components of a theory or process in order to comprehend the larger picture. Therefore, I believe rote learning seriously prohibits true understanding for many students. Most students need to build the understanding by performing the work themselves beginning with the basic tenets of that theory or process.

My experiences have taught me that a cookie-cutter teaching style is not suitable for every individual. My responsibility is to quickly identify the students weaknesses and turn them into their STRENGTH! I am a every interactive teacher. It is my strong belief that anyone can succeed with the proper motivation, reinforcement and tools. My tutoring style emphasizes the student as an active participant in the learning process. With an approach that is clear, reliable, friendly, and personal, I look forward to helping a student succeed in their academic career. I do not have one specific teaching style, but rather have several styles that I implement based on each students specific needs.
I understand that finding the right tutor can be confusing and time consuming. My specialty is to offer a customized experience to each student. I recently graduated 'Summa Cum Laude' fro ... read more

In the nine years of my graduate and undergraduate education, I have been a teacher, tutor and mentor. As an undergraduate, I was the math and science tutor for student athletes; I helped students to successfully complete Algebra I & II, Geometry, Chemistry, Biology and Physics. As a graduate student, I taught in both lecture and one-on-one settings, and was a mentor for 9 students. I have volunteered my time at science camps for middle school and high school students where I developed and led hands-on activities. In recognition of my passion for science and my teaching skills, I have been an invited lecturer in both high school and college courses. Outside of an academic setting, I worked as a private piano teacher for four years.

Math is fun. Teaching math is more fun. I love playing with numbers and helping children also play with numbers and solve problems in the most easiest manner. I really wonder why does the clock move fast when I am in a math class.
I have been in a school environment as my favorite pass time was to spend with children. Math is my favorite course. I helped students achieve good grip on calculations and solving problems. In Short- Teaching kids gives me peace and satisfaction in life.

My teaching style is rooted in several things. Firstly, I strongly believe in breaking down concepts and ideas such that they are easily digestible. This not only makes things easier to comprehend but also can give the student a different perspective on a topic and lead them to understanding. Secondly, I feel that a positive attitude helps with no matter what you do, especially when teaching. A great attitude can rub off on at pupil and help them build confidence, something that is key in becoming successful in anything, let alone academics. Finally, I believe that the mind is much like muscle and most effective when properly conditioned. This involves challenging the student and providing a steady learning regiment. These principals are what provide a sound foundation for my teaching style.

Friends and colleagues often tell me that I should have been a teacher instead of an entrepreneur based on my clarity of expression and passion for instructing. I instinctively augment my spoken word with drawings, gestures or other “reference systems” to help learners grasp the necessary background and repeat processes on their own. I prefer incremental check-ins to make sure students understand intermediate steps and apply theoretical concepts to real life situations whenever possible. Most of all, I have boundless enthusiasm for these topics which further engages my students in the process of learning.
Though my educational background tells of a ‘numbers’ background (economics, MBA), I consider myself a strong communicator and leader, too. I was fortunate to attend a leading high school, which gave me the foundations to excel at Colby College (undergraduate, magna cum laude) ... read more

I enjoy teaching children, students of all ages and those willing to learn. As a high school student, I was involved in inner city teaching and I helped hartford students in their studies after their school. I appreciate higher education and I truly understand what it takes to teach as I myself teach my own children with their homework from their own schools after they come home. I earned the Barbara Allen Woods Award for German Excellence at the University of Rhode Island.
I taught school for four (4) years to ages kindergarten - seventh grade. I also tutored inner city children ages 5-12 for two (2) years. For the last eight (8) years I have been tutoring ages kindergarten- third grade. I took courses in psychology and children. I have a J.D. Degree, Masters Degree and Bachelor of Arts Degree.
