Materials Engineering Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Hubbardston, MA

I teach with lots of examples for clear understanding. I try to get all the class attention during teaching by asking question and verbal complements. I encourage the slow learners and help students during my office hours. I taught in Wesley Girls High School in Ghana during my teaching practice. I have been a teaching assistant for two at Umass Dartmouth, and have been awarded excellence in teaching, by the physics dept.

I have taught in both public schools and a school for multiple handicapped children. I am also experienced with high achieving physics students. I believe in learning through experience, and finding a venue that the learner understands to set the experience. I also believe in test taking , essentialist philosophy, because test taking to demonstrate comprehension is necessary to communicate understanding and advancement to college and beyond. My teaching experience spans college freshmen physics to middle school math. I converted to education after 20 years as a materials engineer in a number of industrial manufacturing companies. I have completed a state certified certificate program and did my student teaching in physics at a local high school. I am most experienced with secondary students grades 9-12 but have recently tutored college math, physics and chemistry students. I have

As a graduate teaching assistant in 1992, department of engineering selected me as the teaching assistant of the year. Teaching was fulfilling and rewarding to me. I offered additional tutoring sessions at no cost to help students comprehend the material. I have limited experience as a substitute teacher. I substituted a few times when I lived in Connecticut in 1995 and then a few times in Maine in 2000. Mostly, my career as a principal mechanical engineer dominated my time for the last 16 years. As a teacher I strive to understand the best means of communicating information to a student. Listening to a student's current understand helps me determine the optimal approach to advancing their knowledge. All students are capable of learning, albeit at varying paces and varying levels, it is a matter of determining the most efficient means of connecting with each student. When a

I stress teaching fundamental principles through an interactive teaching style where students actively participate in learning and solving problems. It is important that students understand fundamental concepts. Relying solely on rote memorization of facts will not lead to success science and math. For younger students I use hands-on demonstrations and visual aids as tools to teach basic scientific principles in a fun and active environment. For more advanced students I teach how to apply fundamental principles to solve problems. I work through typical example problems with them to illustrate practical application of principles. I then ask students to solve problems themselves to develop and ensure understanding. I have 28 years experience as a successful professional scientist as well as many years experience teaching and tutoring Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Astronom

I enjoy teaching, educating and mentoring students to be all they can be and excel in their coursework. I also enjoy just working with students to encourage them and show them how learning can be fun! I am a very patient and caring person who also offer mentoring and career development to students in many subjects. I use creative teaching and learning by practicing methods to have students enjoy a subject or course material. I also teach students to be able to learn the material in a way that they can be comfortable to teach themselves. I challenge and practice over and over with my students until they learn the material. I am a certified tutor for the state of CT with over 10 years of tutoring experience from pre-K to college level in the subjects of math, science, engineering and reading. I have BS, MS and PhD degrees in engineering and have been tutoring in many states, CT, MA, MD, V
