My education includes degrees in Biology, Environmental Science, and Education. Some of my coursework included botany, zoology, chemistry, physics, ecology, scientific methods and writing. As an environmental consultant for the past 23 years, I’ve conducted scientific studies, written reports, managed a team, and worked with the public. I've also taught science at the college-level. Two favorite classes were “Spring Flora” and “Trees and Shrubs”. Both were freshman courses that introduced mostly non-science majors to their first experience with the natural sciences. Overall, I'm enthusiastic about teaching and believe that my real-life experience provides a unique learning opportunity. I love science and love to teach! I believe that teaching is an intentional effort. It’s not just about presenting information, but also about motivating. I set high standards, but also emphasize that scie

I have a strong background in math and science, which I have used to be what I consider to be an effective teacher and tutor for the last ten years. I enjoy teaching and feel a great deal of responsibility for my students and their success. My style of teaching is very involved in the students' success. I make every attempt to relate to them and work through any difficulties they may run into in the learning process. I also try to acknowledge accomplishments and communicate with them the level of pride I feel at their successes.

Every person is unique so I try to hone my tutoring style to the learning style of the individual student if possible. In that I bring a certain energy and enthusiasm for learning to my teaching which exudes to the students. I am excited with each student's success and strive to work hard with each person to encourage them and to applaud and celebrate their successes. I try to instill my love of learning to help pave the way to achieving their goals. While my degree is in English and teaching certificate from the University of Kentucky, most of my career has been spent in the area of corporate training for a Fortune 100 company. I conducted classes for new employees and managers and used my writing skills to provide training and testing materials. For the past four years I have done substitute teaching for levels Kindergarten through twelfth grade. In addition, I have tutored for the pas

I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics from Metropolitan State College of Denver in 2006. During my years there I offered my tutoring services to my friends and fellow classmates. After graduation I pursued a career in wine where I built tasting and education programs for upscale restaurants and wine stores. In 2008 I returned to the field of Mathematics where I taught at Eaglecrest H.S. All in all I have over 10 years of teaching and tutoring experience. I believe that each student has his/her unique learning style and therefore individualize my explanations and teaching approach to fit the style and pace of each student. I employ a proactive teaching style to facilitate the progress and eventual success of my clients. I make certain that all your math related questions are answered or explained during each session.

As in sports coaching, I believe that an academic tutor's main goal is to put the student in a position to be successful. My approach is different for each student based on how they best learn. I believe that real world examples are well retained and make a connection for the student between study and application. My years of corporate experience have provided a deep library of such examples. I have been a guest speaker at Middle Schools on economics and have worked with youth as a sports coach for fifteen years. My career has been in Marketing where I have risen to the top of organizations in part due to my development of young talent to its highest potential.

My teaching style focuses on collaboration with the student, ensuring that knowledge is recieved organically, and not forcibly. Having been a student myself, I understand the importance of appealing to a child's sensibilities and multiple intelligences; not every child learns in the same way. As such, I am committed to incorporating a variety of methods (such as visual, auditory and written) to reinforce the concepts as simply as possible. I subscribe to the idea that, in order for children to reach their potential, they must be challenged to strive. I am a graduate of Walnut Hills High School, finishing in the top 3 percent in my class, and was a recipient of the Yale University Award for Outstanding Intellect and Character. I received my Bachelor of Science degree with honors from the University of Cincinnati in 2002, obtaining a degree in Biochemistry. I have previous tutoring experi

I always wanted to become a math teacher, but in order to become one in a communist regime; you had to be a member in the Romanian Communist Party. So, I obtained a BS in Mechanical Engineer (172 credit hours). I was working as a designer in Romania and had in parallel a private math and physics tutoring business. At NEIU I finished a lot of credits hours toward my second BA in Secondary Education Mathematics. Meanwhile, I found a job as a Mechanical Engineer at Mercury Products. Three years ago I have relocated with my husband's company in Dayton, Ohio. Meanwhile, I found an Estimator job at PTC and I was laid off due to the economy. So, I pursued my Alternative ATL at Antioch McGregor University and finished it this year. I really enjoy, generally speaking, helping people, but mainly help them pursue a future degree for themselves and a better life. I keep telling to my students that t

I love working with children, and I love watching children succeed because I believe that everyone deserves a chance at furthering their education, and no one should feel overwhelmed or that they cannot achieve this feat. I feel that through hands on and engaging teaching styles students find the information interesting and learn better. With the right education, support, and skills any one can achieve their goals in education. I have recently received my bachelor's degree in zoology from Miami University; I have a BA with a more well-rounded background of other subjects as well as biology, anatomy, and science. I have tutored students, mainly younger ones in reading, science, social studies, and math from the ages of kindergarten through 4th grade.

My teaching goal is to prepare students to become responsible persons, self-motivated and independent individuals able to solve actual problems and to provide leadership in the technical world. I teach the students not to stop their thinking process once a numerical value has been calculated. I stress the meaningful interpretation of the predicted results and in agreement with physical units and the maximum allowed limits of the actual application. The most important things that I can teach are critical thinking, analytical skills, intellectual independence, and an ability to pose and answer questions that will not only allow students to understand the material that I teach, but will also follow them to other courses and beyond. I left Russia in 1993 when I was a Full Professor in the Department of Mathematics of the Moscow Inst. of Chemical Engng Industry, Russia. After that I worked a

In high school I tutored middle school and elemetary school aged children in reading, math, and chemistry. In college I tutored other peers in history, psychology, Spanish, and math. My current position is in psychology/engineering research. I have learned a wide variety of subjects due to my past experience and my everyday working experience continues to be a great learning environment. I also currently work part-time as a Pharmacy Technician for the past 3 years. I loved my time spent tutoring in the past. I love teaching and working with others, especially children. I first like to start with finding out where the child is confused by going over and re-teaching past assignments that were misunderstood. I like to go over past tests and make sure they understand what they missed and teach them the correct answer. I believe that this is very important so they can grasp future material. I

Throughout my entire life, regardless of the endeavor, I have been driven toward education--both of myself and my responsibility to teach others. I have tutored young children, children with attention disorders, high school and college students, and adults in subjects including math, science, language arts, grammar and computer skills. I was a corporate trainer for Darden Restaurants, teaching all aspects of that industry, and am currently the principal instructor for an equestrian program in Ohio. I have continued tutoring in math, science, and English since 1998, and plan to continue as such. My teaching style revolves around a desire to make complicated subjects as simple and accessible as possible. In teaching so many different types of learners, my methodologies are as varied as my students. A teacher's primary responsibilities are to listen, adapt and teach to the needs of a g
