PhD Physics, able to tutor in science, math, engineering

I follow the method of G. Polya in his classic work "How to Solve It". By asking the right questions, one can help the student define his problem, form a plan for the solution, carry out the plan, and examine the result. I also try to work as many difficult problems from the student's text as time permits, in order to show that all problems have a solution, and the student can build confidence in attacking any problem. I try to present the material in as many ways as needed, so that I can match the subject to the student's style of learning.
I was a senior scientist - engineer for 37 years. I retired to care for my comatose wife at home, and she died a few months later. This situation has left me open to new directions. My teaching experience has been 3 years as a graduate teaching assistant, and 2 years as a tutor to friends and family in science and mathematics. My goal is ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am a very flexible teacher. Over the years I have tutored small children, teens and peers in a wide variety of subjects. I am known for my ability to make difficult concepts easy to understand and the way I make dry material interesting. I prefer to work with people individually so that I can match my teaching style to their learning style. I have worked with dyslexic students and gifted students. I have worked with students that needed to work through problems slowly with lots of guidance and students that prefer to figure it out and come to me with specific questions.
I started by tutoring other students in trigonometry and calculus in high school. In college I continued to tutor other students in a variety of courses including general logic, chemistry, physics and English. I have an extensive background in physical sciences: BS in Chemistry, extended coursework in geolo ... read more

I enjoy coaching and encouraging anyone to learn. I am enthusiastic and enjoy seeing "the light bulb" come on. I believe everyone has the capability to excel, and I understand that there are several learning styles. I work to help the student discover their learning style/s and happily adapt to their way of learning. I am patient and thoughtful of the student and their needs. I seek to help the student discover how and what to do and eventually 'own' their ability to learn and be self-driven.
As seasoned home school teacher, I have educated my children for the past 17 years. I have worked with all age groups from kindergarten through 12th grade, teaching and mentoring one on one. I have the experience of teaching all the elementary level subjects for four of my five children. I have also taught the high school level subjects to three of my five children. I have fine-tuned ... read more

I will work with the students and find where out where they are weakest. By doing so I will be able to give them the knowledge required to understand the material they are struggling with instead of teaching them how to solve the problem at that moment which will prevent them from struggling with mathematics their entire school career. I believe that with out understanding what is going on in the background the students will never fully understand what they are doing. Thus having worked with them to make their weak points their strong points they will gain the confidence needed to go into an exam and pass with a strong grade. I want to help the kids that others have given up on because I feel that it's these students that have the greatest potential to succeed if given the proper guidance in life.
I am a recent graduate from Washington State University and I'm currently looking for ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I treat math phobias and anxiety with respect. I teach students to be relentless when conquering their math problems. With the younger crowd, I often turn it into a game. With older kids and teens, I stress the importance of exposure and repetition.
I've taught in a Preschool classroom at my church for 1 year, and I've been a substitute teacher for the 2nd grade classroom at my church for 2 years. I've homeschooled two children for the past 11 years, and I've spent two years as a math instructor at a homeschool co-op. I've also worked as a tutor for Eastern Washington University's Computer Sciene Department for 2 years, and I've mentored several co-workers in software development over the past 28 years.

More About This Tutor...

I love to see students grasp a new concept and revisit their work with greater pride and confidence as a result. Realizing we all learn in differing rates and manners, I find great satisfaction in teaching in several ways at the same time (e.g., varying visual and auditory cues, telling stories and providing mnemonic devices). Having worked with issues such as ADHD, dyslexia and dyscalculia, I recognize and address learning challenges with patience, courtesy, respect -- and optimism. I believe that every successful experience with schoolwork, no matter how small, builds toward a cumulative good outcome for students at every level, and that the right tools exist for each of us to succeed in ways best suited to our unique character.
As a high school honors student, I majored in English and achieved the highest score possible (five -- 5) on the English Exam. In College, I pursued my ... read more

I am a very patient and kind person and those traits shine through when I am dealing with children. I believe all children deserve an education and that all can succeed. However, I do believe that not all learn at the same pace nor in the same manner. As a result, I am empathetic to each student's strengths and areas of weaknesses. I love to help and empower the individual. Teaching is a way to really make a difference in an individual's life as well as contributing to our society.
As a holder of a Masters degree in Science, I was driven by hardwork to acquire as much knowledge as possible. I also have a Bachelors of Science degree in Biology. In completing both, I have acquired strong Science and Math skills. I have learned extensive organizational and writing skills due to completing a research based scientific study and then publishing my report and final conclusions. Af ... read more
