After college graduation, I taught Algebra, Algebra II, Geometry, Earth Science, Biology and Chemistry for one year at a private school in Fresno, CA. I then moved to San Jose, CA and taught at Valley Christian High School. I taught Algebra and Algebra II for one year and then taught Biology and Honors Biology for two years. I also taught Algebra in summer school to students that required more of a smaller, one on one environment to learn. During this time, I earned my California teaching certificate. I then moved to Wilmington, NC and taught for two more years at Waccamaw Academy in Whiteville, NC. Because of the long commute I faced every day, I got a job working for a Pharmaceutical company in Wilmington. During my nine years there, I obtained my MS in Chemistry from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. After only one year with the company, I became a trainer for al

I know firsthand that great teachers make great students. It took several years to discover my learning style because I had to find it on my own. I want to be able to help students find their own learning style. I believe that subjects are best learned when broken down, and repetition is key. I also believe practice makes perfect. I know that a student needs to know the basics first, then can move on to more complex ideas. In earning my bachelors of science degree at the University of South Carolina Aiken, I gained a true love for biology. I excelled in entry-level biology classes, as well as higher-level science classes such as ecology and evolution. I am also proficient in writing, English, and math. During my college career, I have tutored mostly in sciences and math.

My experience tutoring began during my high school years, where I would tutor Spanish and English to my peers, especially focusing on written and oral language skills as well as literary analysis. While earning my undergraduate degree from Boston College, I worked as a tutor and mentor at a local elementary school. There, I assisted with math, phonics, writing, and science coursework, as well as any other assignments given to the students. Additionally, I volunteered at a local union, where I taught English as a second language to adults in a one on one setting. I hold a B.S. in Environmental Geoscience, and possess a strong knowledge in the earth sciences and environmental issues. Because I have tutored adults, children as young as four, and all ages in between in a range of subjects, I have a very accommodating teaching style. I know how important it is to adapt teaching techniq

I believe that all children have the potential to learn and am a strong advocate of customized teaching. I am so drawn to the mathematics and sciences because I learn from working through problems and finding methods to solve them. When I tutor I tend to emphasize to the student to find a study method that works for them and adapt it to whatever they need to learn. I try to suggest to the student options for solving a problem and letting them discover the way they understand the best. As a student throughout high school and college I have enjoyed learning and often joke with my friends that I would go to school forever if I could. I have earned a Bachelor's of Science degree in Chemistry at a very academic and research oriented school. I am currently continuing my education through an online Master's of Science in Forensic Toxicology program with the University of Florida. I very m

My tutoring experiences have been all throughout my life helping friends and family better understand mathematics. I've tutored for pay just once, one night a week for one year. This was while I was a student at Hampden-Sydney College; I worked through the College tutoring Calculus. Recently (in the past month), I've been helping a niece who is in the fourth grade and a friend who is a freshman in high school. I'm passionate about what I do because I've been through classes in subject matter that I struggled in or was disinterested in and I want to be able to help others feel more comfortable in math where they might be weak or unsure. I also realize that sometimes the issue is motivational not a matter of comprehension. Having also dealt with feeling a lack of motivation I desire to light a spark in those who I help to reach for their best.

My favorite part about teaching is the moment that something "clicks" within a child's mind. I am a problem solver naturally so I try to lead children down a path of discovery instead of just teaching the answer. I believe this helps children gain an understanding of how things work or why they are a certain way so that they are able to apply these same processes to other problems. I have earned two bachelor degrees, BS in Business Administration with a concentration in International Business and BA in Spanish. I have 10 years of professional experience involving customer service, Spanish translation, tutoring, and training. As an ex-patriate, I was afforded the opportunity to learn Spanish fluently and have witnessed first hand its importance in business and life today. I also have elementary age children that I assist in the everyday learning processes.

I am a former United States Naval Officer that has extensive tutoring experience at various education levels. I have a degree in Electrical Engineering with background in Nuclear Engineering subjects. When I was in college I used to tutor fellow students in subjects like Calculus, Algebra, and Trigonometry. I also work for the university as a tutor doing similar work for three years. I am currently employed in Wilmington, NC. I volunteer locally at multiple schools for mentoring and tutoring of young children in Math, Reading, and test preparations. I love to work with people and feel joy when they conquer the challenges of the classroom to reach their full potential. If you need the help I will be there for you. I look forward to working with you.

At North Carolina State University, I was a teacher assistant for two years, explaining to the students how computers and intel assembly work. After I received my Bachelors, I was in University of North Carolina -- Wilmington's Watson School Program for a little over one semester, gaining field experiences in both becoming a teacher and a tutor. The different sets of experiences should prove valuable to me. My personal approach to teaching varies between student and student, situation and situation. Generally, I make sure I understand the specific lesson the student has to learn, and then ask them building block questions to make them come up with the answer. This is similar to AVID training, where the answers have to come from questioning each other. If technology is around, I prefer to also use that to explain the problems.

I love making learning fun and rewarding for students. My forte is in breaking down math and science concepts to basic understandable chunks, relating new information to prior knowledge,and teaching learning and test taking skills that can be applied to any subject. I believe students learn best when they see the relevance of what they are learning in their own lives, so I strive to provide real life examples and experiences to help students see "why they have to learn this." Experience has taught me that no two students learn the same way. Therefore, my strategies incorporate approaches that appeal to multiple intelligences. As a North Carolina Teaching Fellow, I tutored elementary through high school students in reading and math as I went through college. I have been teaching 7th grade math and science for the past eight years. The seventh grade curriculum has allowed me to master

I achieved the Eagle Scout Award in the Boy Scouts of America program and was selected by American Legion Post to attend North Carolina Tarheel’s Boy’s State in the summer of 2000. I graduated from the University of North Carolina Wilmington in 2007 with a bachelors of Science degree in Chemistry. My degree required supplementation with Math and Biology, taking such classes as calculus I&II, multivariative calculus, matrices, human/animal anatomy and physiology. For four years I tutored other college students in algebra, trigonometry, geometry, calculus, and chemistry. I currently work with Measurement Incorporated where I score exams, essays, open-ended test items, and performance assessments. Teaching comes easy to me because I was taught very well. In high school I was the president of the FTA club where we would go to local elementary and middle schools to educate children of all edu

I enjoy teaching a lot. My favorite subjects are math and Russian. I feel, that I have a unique approach of explanation and I know how to make these subjects interesting to the students. I believe that all students can be good at math and foreign languages. Most of it depend on the teach.A teacher must love what he or she does, make the subject easy to understand and interesting to learn. I'm from Moscow, Russia. Moved to United States five years ago. I'm fluent in Russian and English. I have a business degree in marketing, graduated from University of North Carolina Wilmington. I have a strong understanding in many areas of math.

I have learned from math education courses to pose problems that are just beyond the level of the student so that they stretch their mind. I use a constuctivism approach where the student builds on what they know to find solutions to current problems. This is how they learn new ideas. I also will approach a problem from different angles to reinforce ideas. I have math books and a lap top computer with a wireless Internet connection to assist in tackling new ideas. I have a lot of patience and I find that I bond with the students over time. I have many years of professional experience as an engineer and computer programmer which involved much practical application of mathematical principles. I have worked as a substitue teacher for about 5 years and I have taken about 30 semester hours of math education courses at UNCW. I have taken 18 hours of graduate courses in math and I am qualified

I am graduating from the University of NC Wilmington with a BS in Chemistry and minor in mathematics in May of 2010. I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education, since i came from a third world country where education is not available. so my experience and bachelor degree enable me to gain the understanding in many areas of math and science. Coming to this country and be able to go to school is very important for me, and i found it very difficult seeing many children not able to go to school because they have not motivation,even if they have the opportunity to go to school and be what they want.I believe education is very import in the 21st century and everybody should go to school and learning new experience and explore the different opportunity available for them, so i would like to help students learn about the value of education and help them gain the kn
