Logic Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Hixson, TN

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 approach the problem with a little more weight placed on the student. The third time I ask the student to attempt the problem on his/her own, and I'm available for questions. 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 mat

Throughout my entire life, I have always been driven to do the best of my ability. This is especially the case when it comes to academics. While I was a college student, I learned the importance of teaching other colleagues the skill and technique to master a course. At college, I earned a BS in Biology with a concentration in Chemistry, giving me a deeper understanding of science. Even though my degree was in science, the subject of mathematics has always been a strong area for me as well. Throughout my tutoring experience, I have tutored students in mathematics and sciences, embracing the inner teacher inside of me. While everyone has a passion in life, my passion is to teach and to help shape a child’s academic future. One of the best ways to have an impact on a child’s life is through tutoring. My favorite aspect of tutoring is the opportunity to work one on one with a child and lea

I have tutored K – college-aged students in various subjects. Most recently, I served as a math teacher under the federal Supplemental Education services program. / At Mind Matters Learning Ctr I worked w/ parents to understand their concerns, & corresponded w/ teachers to pin-point areas of need. I also developed entire HS & college course curriculum. / I focus on helping students embrace education as a “means” to a fulfilling future. For my older students, I have a knack for breaking complex info into a language students can better understand. I also incorporate “real-world” examples to incorporate relevance. For elem. students, I create fun games & activities based on curriculum standards.

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 Office Cha

I find that the best way to tutor my students is to find out what they are struggling with the most in a subject and then helping them with the basics in that subject. I work with the student on the basics and then build up to more difficult material. I am patient with students of all ages. I believe that knowing the basics of a subject is always important. In college, I always had to know the basics to build on that knowledge. It can take some time to start at the bottom, but it's worth having the permanent knowledge over learning it short term just to pass the test. I have been tutoring since high school. When I was in high school, I tutored my brother in elementary level math. When I was in college, I tutored students in chemistry and math. I have a bachelor's degree in chemistry and have also had numerous math courses. I can tutor in any math subject up to calculus 2 and up

Due to my experience with a broad range of young learners, each working at a different academic and or cognitive pace, I follow a modified Socratic approach to both my classroom and one on one instruction by placing the emphasis on the student as we identify areas for growth. I then sculpt an academic program that we both/all have helped to design, thus accessing an invaluable font of enthusiasm and insight addressing how best to approach the needs of each individual student. This is especially true for those students who don't feel heard, suffer from academic performance anxiety or are struggling with the manner in which the material has previously been presented to them. Over the course of the past 10 years I have spent time working with students struggling to develop their academic skills, particularly in the areas of language arts and the social studies.

I am passionate about education and ensuring that children can grasp the concepts that will make them successful later in life. In say this, I believe that all children have the capability to learn, just not necessarily in the same manner. Through my years of experience in teaching, I have learned to adjust styles to fit the needs of the student. I utilize positive approaches to learning, and have found that visual approaches really cement the data being related to the student. As a Dual Master's degree graduate, I was very driven to achieve a level of excellence in education. I have earned two associate degrees, a bachelor's degree, and two master's degrees, which has given me a broad spectrum of experience in math, science, grammar, and business. During the last six years, I have taught college-level courses for Columbia College, and have tutored numerous students from elementary throu

My teaching style is prescriptive, student based. I teach based on how the particular student can grasp and understand what is being taught because students have their own methods and mental tools to open themselves to what is being taught, so that they learn. I, the teacher, learn from the student how he/she understands what is being taught and fit the subject into a student's frame for understanding. In 2010, I contracted with the Hamilton County Board of Education, HCBE, and successfully taught 3 courses: 2 Algebra II courses and 1 Introduction to Calculus at Red Bank High School. During the 2010-2011 school year: I am a subsitute teacher for HCBE, where I teach different courses in 15 schools for HCBE, both middle school and high school.

I have had the opportunity to help students both in a one-to-one and a small group setting. I quickly learn the student's learning abilities and the areas that need improvement. I use kinetic, visual, and auditory teaching methods. Since I have been tutoring at all levels and in most subjects for eight years, I have insight for where a student is and where the student wants and needs to be. I truly enjoy all aspects of education and have been a teacher at a number of levels and in different cities for eight years. I have taught students in K-12 as well as in college/university. My teaching and tutoring experience has been both one-on-one and small group settings.

First I would like to get to know the student and parents, focusing mainly on the student's interests and goals as well as how they feel about the particular subject they will be tutored in. After that I would have the student show me where they currently are in class and what they need help with. Then, depending on the particular circumstances, I would create a plan to get the student caught up and self-sufficient as quickly as possible. Even though fast results are what I hope for, the student would set the pace of the sessions. No topics would be overlooked and they would all receive as much time as the student needs to master them. I attended MTSU and received a bachelor’s degree in Biology. After college I worked at a food-microbiology lab in Nashville for a year. I plan to teach science in Africa with the Peace Corps for two years. I am very capable in most areas of math and scienc

The past five years has provided me with an amazing amount of knowledge and experience. Completing a Master's degree in special education, teaching elementary students with disabilities, working as an adjunct professor and being the Director of Early College at Northwestern Technical College are just a few examples of those experiences. Each of these positions allowed me to grow and mature as a teacher. I have learned patience, creativity, knowledge and new skills from each of my past students. These experiences have also taught me how to better communicate with the students’ families and other educators in order to provide for each of their individual needs. Also, being certified k-12, I have learned a large amount of the Tennessee state curriculum in many different subject areas. My Master’s degree is in special education with a concentration in emotional and behavioral disturbance. I
