More About This Tutor...

I have tutored classmates and friends throughout college and after in science and math disciplines. My younger sister struggled in school and I assisted her with all disciplines from grades K-12. I studied Chemical Engineering at West Virginia University and got my degree in four years. Classes I took included four semesters of calculus, including multivariable and differential equations, two semesters of physics, inorganic and organic chemistry, and several chemical engineering specific classes. I feel comfortable with most math and science courses and I have some experience with statistics as well. I'm proficient in Microsoft excel and some statistics programs including minitab and JMP.
I like to be interactive- when I'm teaching I prefer to work through a problem with a student together the first time, letting the student more or less watch me. The second time through, we appro ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I constantly evaluate my success in communication of the course material to the students. I believe that everyone who is motivated to learn, will learn, and will learn the skills imparted well. I think about my own teaching style and its impact on student learning. I continuously tailor my teaching of information to the student to accommodate the learning needs of the students.
I have a master’s degree from the University of Tennessee in physics. I have extensive experience in mentoring various University and Air Force Academy cadets and engineering interns during the summers of 2005 to 2009. I have established professional experience in developing interesting presentation skills; writing detailed and informative technical papers/reports concerning work efforts. I possess strong interpersonal and communication skills able to relate to all people and work with technical specialists ... read more

More About This Tutor...

An important goal of teaching science is to help students apply their knowledge in new and different situations. Students are expected to apply their skills and knowledge to new situations and context. My teaching strategies provide a sequence of activities that helps students move from situations of familiarity to novelty. This goal of ---- transfer of learning ---does not magically happen; it is the result of conscious instruction that incorporates interactive, student-centered, scientific activities that develop and enhance critical thinking, problem-solving, and other analytical skills.
Having a general science degree at the secondary level (6-12), I have the ability and the opportunity to teach several “core” science courses such as chemistry, physics, physical science, and biology to different grades at the high school level. Over the past six years, I had the opportunity to ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy helping people of all ages understand the complex processes of our natural environment. I believe it is the role of teachers to lead their students to solutions, rather than just providing answers. I'm very patient and personable and love to help others succeed. I chose environmental science because of its interdisciplinary nature. In order to fully comprehend environmental issues, one must seek an understanding of all natural sciences, sociology, calculus, English, geography, law and policy, and many other disciplines.
I recently graduated from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga with a B.S. in environmental science and a concentration in sociology and anthropology. I have served as the editorial assistant for the Applied Environmental Education and Communications journal for the last year and a half. I have also worked as a research assistant in the West Offi ... read more

Being a student who had reading comprehension in early grades, I understand the shyness and frustration many students have with this difficulty. I respond to them with compassion, and often open up to them with a short story of my own experience. This way the student feels that I understand them and are more willing to learn the material I am trying to teach them. In the beginning I will sit down with the student and their parents to see what is their area of difficulty. If available, with permission, I will contact the student's teacher(s) to see what areas he/she needs to be tutored on to bring them up to their grade level. Once this is established, I will compose a lesson plan and go over it with the child's parents so that they can see what we will be working on and when. This way I am keeping contact with all parties involved and the student is getting the maximum benefit out of the ... read more

I am a born teacher, and come from a family full of them. For better or worse for those around me, I am always ready to help with research skills and writing, reading comprehension, assimilating mass amounts of information into a comprehensible format (with/for my coworkers and friends). I believe that anyone is capable of mastering standardized tests as well as any task thrown at them by the most grueling of professors. I believe in starting with the basic building blocks, making sure that those are mastered first, while allowing a student to create their own ideas and reach farther than the assignment dictates as they become ready. Everyone, children and young adults, can amaze themselves when given the right tools to accomplish an educational goal. It's not the students who succeed easily that make a lasting impression, but the ones who struggle mightily to get through a basic fi ... read more
