A Little Bit About Me...

I am a believer in learning and understanding concepts and principles of the subject being studied. Asking why and how we come to a conclusion rather than memorizing or mindlessly going through steps generates long term success. I believe that this is the best way for a student to prepare for any question or scenario that may be asked or given as well as preparing for future expansion in the subject.
I am a pre-med student at MTSU, and I will be graduating with a second degree in Science this year. I have experience tutoring grade school students in math and reading subjects. I also have experience teaching college students in science subjects. Before attending MTSU, I was a professional ballroom dancer and instructor for five years. I have experience teaching ballroom dancing to children as young as five and adults as young as 70!

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a recent gradtuate of Middle Tennessee State University where I majored in Chemistry with a minor in secondary education. I have recently filed to obtain my license to teach chemistry. My degree in Chemistry required me to take 17 hours in math, thus improving my understanding of the subject. I have also written many papers as well as written laboratory reports and even spoke at an Americal Chemical Society meeting. During the last year I have tutored students in General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry. I have also tutored a few people in Algebra and Trigonometry.
I know that all students learn differently. I try to cater my teaching to fit the individual student. I know what may work with one student will not work with another student. I am patient, conciderate and caring. I want my students to gain some knowledge of the subject they are having trouble with. I think the main ... read more

In my course Curriculum, I was not required to take Calc 1,2 or even 3 but I took all those because I love math. Over the last 6 years in college and high school, I have tutored people in Precalculus, Calculus 1,2, Chemistry, Physics, Organic 1 and 2.
My interest for helping people emerges from the fact that I want to be a physician. I always wanted to become a physician so I can help people and that is the reason i love tutoring students to achieve what they want. I am a very patient with my students as I realize that every student has their own speed of grasping the new material. I work with my student to make them dream, dream higher than ever before and make them believe in themselves by achieving their set ... read more

The greatest benefit of teaching, to me, is seeing the look in a child's eyes when he or she finally reaches that understanding of what you are teaching them. The challenge of finding a new way to help a child reach this understanding is what drives me to teach. As each child learns differently, a teacher must be constantly brainstorming new teaching methods in order to reach every student and address each of their individual learning styles.
Growing up with more than five teachers in my family, I have always had a deep understanding of the importance of education and a drive to teach others. I recieved my Bachelor's in English from the University of Southern Indiana with the intention of completing a Masters and becomming an instructor at the college level. However, upon completion of my Bachelors, I immediately began teaching at Nashville State Community College as an adjunct ... read more

In college I was a Biochemistry lab assistant for 2 years, teaching labs, grading lab reports, and offering assistance to students in the completion of their lab reports and assignments. I also have a firm grasp of high school mathematics, especially geometry for which I earned a 104 average for the school year. Both of my parents are writers, hence I have always valued the use of proper grammar. In my professional work, I have found that using proper grammar is essential to communicating clearly and effectively.
I think learning happens best when the principle is related to a real life situation and the learner can understand the relevance and see the principle in action. When applicable, I like to use activities or examples from everyday life to highlight the prinicple being taught.

Upon graduating college, I decided to pursue a career in the banking industry. Within a few months as a personal banker, I was promoted to office manager, becoming responsible for the daily operations and profitability of the branch. My new position gave me the opportunity to instruct and lead a great team of employees and to help improve the lives of my customers—but beyond this the position was neither mentally nor emotionally stimulating. In 2006 I decided to go back to school and take the courses needed to take the MCAT and apply to medical school. I am currently working as a nurse assistant at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center and in the process of applying to medical school. I hope to matriculate in August of 2009.

I enjoy finding out a student’s area of difficulty and address it directly. Students have different learning styles, it easy for me teach in a variety of styles so that to make sure my students understands. I do also apply almost everything I teach to real world situations, for example most young students may think that learning about triangles will not benefit his/her career in business. As his/her teacher I will show the student how one can use triangles to determine where to built a manufacturing company equidistant (meaning the distant between each raw material supply place to the manufacturing place is the same) to three raw material supply areas, which are not in the same place.

Over the past ten years I have been a student (BS), an engineer, a teacher, and a student again (MS, PhD). My interests in education have led me from the high-need classrooms on Chicago's West side to Vanderbilt's Peabody campus to engage a PhD program in educational policy. I have a wide body of experience ranging from coaching gymnastics and circus arts to university level chemistry and teacher education courses. Over the past several years, I have found the teaching-learning cycle to be incredibly rewarding.
Through my work with elementary, high school, and college students, I understand the anxieties that often surround math, science, and high pressure assessments. In tutoring and in the classroom I work to develop individualized scaffolding to build the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to successfully engage the material. As a great fan of history, art, politics, ... read more
