For math problems, I usually work problems and explain each step, and then have the student attempt to work a similiar one when they feel like they understand the problems. I try to be as helpful as possible while still focusing on the goal of total understanding for the student, as well as the ability to work a similiar problem independently with confidence. For paper writing, I would have the student brainstorm some ideas, and then together we could discuss the pro's and con's of the topic and organization choice, and provide tips on how we could better the assignment. I am willing to give as much or as little help as a parent would prefer, as good grades are one goal but the students mastery of the material is the most important. I have not tutored publicly before, but have tutored friends children/ family members for standardized tests such as the high school history and english stat

I taught them and their friends over the years. I taught sunday school children. I am very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I have a BA in accounting with a minor in math. I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers in many areas of study. I like to get the kids invovled. We, of course, cover the required instruction but I like to have fun. It is important the kids think they have a say so. I love teaching and working with kids. I believe all children can learn but each in a different way. I am available to help your child find academic success.

My experience as a teacher is rooted in family values. I was taught to believe that I could excel in what ever I put my mind too. After graduating from high school at the age of 16 and starting college as the youngest in my class, I quickly fell in love with chemistry. After, graduating with my BS, and latter my MS, I have worked between academia and industry for a number of years. This experience has allowed me to develop a hands on approach to teaching. Teaching is a profession that is not well recognized, however my reason for teaching lays within my family values. I believe that the youth is the future. This core belief of mines allow me to dedicate myself to understanding how children learn and ultimately how I can best serve the children.

Science and math is best taught using self discovery and inquiry. I use these methods extensively. Patience is necessary as you first model, then assist, and finally use practice so the student gains fluency in the skill. I plan lessons around individual learning style and ability. Tough love is needed so a student will reach potential as is recognition of progress. I used my tecnical skills in the real world for 35 years. Hence I bring real world applications that are relevant and familiar to the student. This experience gives me a large portfolio of examples and approaches to explain what are often abstract concepts. Finally, the use of humor and today's digital tools help connect the student to the subject. I retired from a technical/executive career in the chemical industry. My last position was as VP of Operations and Innovation. I have a degree in Chemical Engineering, some gr

First as a student of mechanical engineering at IRIMEE, India, and then as a MBA student at Tulane University, New Orleans, I mastered the art of excelling in subjects. Excelling in subjects takes more than putting in the hours and practicing. It is also the approach that matters. I believe that I can share the recipe for success with my students and help them succeed in their academic endevors. My personal favourites have been Physics and Mathematics, and over the last 5 years or so, tutoring and mentoring children pursuing AP and IB curriculum at the High School level has been satisfying for me and rewarding for the students. I teach for sucess. There are two components to it. The first is to get the fundamentals. The next step is to master the art of excelling in exams. I believe that many children get the first part but do not get help on the methodology to excel in exams.Yet there

Teaching is a learning process, and I love teaching youn children particularly science because it is the build block of our nation. I feel bad when a child says to her parents I can not do maths or science. This why I want to go back to the teaching field to foster the needy child in maths and science. With the knowledge in teaching couple with skills , I will be a very useful candidate in helping learner to understand materials, and be competitive the world. I was very much driven to obtain 18 yeard level experience in education.I have teaching certificate,BS in biology and master in business administration and health care management.Four years teaching experience in maths and science in high school, middle school, and college.Two teaching assistance and lab tutor at Rust college.

As a high school student, I excelled at my schoolwork. I was retained as a tutor for middle school students in math and science subjects. When I entered college, my major in engineering has required that I take a lot of upper level math and science courses. These rigorous courses have strengthened my math and science skills. I am very well versed from algebra all the way to Calculus two. I love helping people. I feel that a student can always teach a student better than a teacher. Their teaching style is a lot forgiving and the student is less intimidated knowing that someone else has been where he/she is currently. It also takes a great deal of patience to teach someone something and a forgiving nature. I excel at both of those.

I am a proud graduate of Tuskegee University, in Tuskegee, AL with a BS in Physics. During my years in college, my curriculum enabled me to gain an outstanding amount of knowledge in my field of physics as well in engineering and math. Our partnerships with local high schools gave me the opportunity to have first hand experience with tutoring students that were in need of assistance in the areas of physics, algebra, trigonometry, calculus and differentia equations. My style of teaching is very easily understandable. I believe it’s important that teachers observe their students learning style and adapt accordingly because ever student learns differently. I most commonly use visual learning and memorable events to help make relationships between the subject matter and was for the student to learn the material. Innovative ideas such as games and puzzles entertain the student as well as prog

My passion is teaching, encouraging, and motivating students. I believe that all students have the potential to succeed in life and reach their dreams and goals. I feel that education is the key to success. I am aware that not all students learn the exact same way. I am willing to adapt to each child's individual learning style whether it be hands on, visual, etc. I am very patient and understanding and my main goal is to help students improve their academic achievement. I'm hardworking, dependable, and responsible and absolutely love to see students learn and strive high. I received a bachelors degree from The University of Memphis in integrative studies in the fall of 2009. Upon graduation, I was required to complete two semesters of student teaching. Also, during my four years of college, I tutored three different students, one in reading and the other two in English. From August 2009

One understands the best if he or sheis challenged by a problem and gets engaged in it. As a teacher, I challenge the students by raising a question or writing a problem and asking students to share their ideas with me . This provides the students with the opportunity to think about the problem on their own, to determine their own strategy. During the discussion, they also have the advantage of seeing other ways of approaching the problem.They have tried and experienced many different ideas on their own and as a result, they become sharper in grasping the materials. I have earned BSC in physics with minor Math.Since I like numbers I joined Penn Foster college and earned my degree in electrical engineering in 2008. I taught Physics and Math both in the classroom and small group of students for more than 8 years.

I challenge the students by raising a question or writing a problem on the board and asking students to share their ideas with me . This provides the students with the opportunity to think about the problem on their own, to determine their own strategy. During the discussion, they also have the advantage of seeing other ways of approaching the problem. When the problem proves too challenging, I usually give them small step by step hints and direct them to the answer. I also make sure that we spend enough time discussing all the ideas suggested by students, not limiting the discussion to the ones I know are correct or most effective.

With my degrees in Civil Engineering and M.A. in Education major in math I worked in various fields such as engineering & design, construction, estimating, and teaching. However, I have more years experience in the teaching field because I enjoy teaching and find it more fulfilling and challenging. I spent my teaching years in the Philippines and here in the U.S.A so cultural diversity is not a problem for me. In my teaching experience, I dealt with children of diverse background and naturally each child learns in different ways. I believed as a teacher that you have to be flexible in your teaching style in order to help your students learn. Each of them have their own learning style, therefore innovation in teaching style is a must. In my teaching, I always make it a point to help my students by presenting to them different methods in solving math problems so they can choose which metho
