ACT Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Kearny, AZ

My approach is a little different using humor to destress students. I believe in each student understanding the underlying concepts via instruction, physical materials and hands-on activities. I have a lot of patience. I love working with different and even difficult and shy students. I am a seasoned veteran tutor, and I enjoy, no love, mentoring, teaching, volunteering, training, or instructing almost as a hobby! I am especially passionate about career education and counseling as well as psychology and mathematics. Oooh and English too! I enjoy playing guitar and writing, also playing and instructing playing soccer.

I graduated with my Master's in Chemical Engineering in 1985 and have used that experience and my life experience to excel at the tutoring that I have done over the last 15+ years. I have tutored all levels of mathematics, high school and college Chemistry and SAT/ACT preparation and study. My education has been invaluable to my ability to help students excel. I am relaxed, calm, and patient when tutoring. I use graphical, verbal and/or written methods dependent on the skill set and approach that is best for each student. I believe that every student has an innate ability to learn. It is the tutor's job to find out the approach that will yield the best results with each individual student.

My method is to reach students exactly where there at and use methods that would stimulate all types of learners . Once I was teaching a group of sixth graders who would be entering Algebra soon. I gave them a true life math example. Our equasion; a party with the number of students, quantity of different items and costs. When we devided the items their costs with the number of students we came up with how much each student had to pitch in. In this example I had some items that were to be used and they were able to touch them. I also told them very clearly what was going on while I was writing it all down. This stimulated many different learning types My teaching experience began at a Riverside County Probation Facility for Wards of the court in Banning California. I began there as a Building Maintainance Mechanic and worked my way up to a vocational education teacher. After that I work

As an undergrad I attended Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois, a school well-known for its academic excellence, where I studied Christian Education under a group of highly talented professors. While this degree was not a typical teaching degree, it incorporated a significant amount of educational theory, communication skills, and developmental psychology which I have used as a mentor, Sunday school teacher, and tutor. I then attended Fuller Theological Seminary as a master’s student where I studied theology and youth ministry. This program allowed me to further study the developmental issues connected with adolescents, as well as increase my writing and critical thinking skills through the study of theology, philosophy, and history. I have worked with middle school and high school students in a church setting for 9 years. I began tutoring last year, working with elementary and Jr.

I obtained a B.S. in Chemical Engineering which provides me with a strong base in math, physics and chemistry and am a licensed professional engineer (PE) in Chemical Engineering and Environmental Engineering each of which required passing a rigorous 8-hour exam. As a result, I've gained valuable experience in preparing for and successfully passing tests as well as applying math and science principles to solve real-world problems in a practical manner. I have also tutored math and science in the past and helped students succeed by explaining difficult concepts in an easy to understand manner. I truly enjoy teaching students and helping them overcome their problems and empowering them with skills that will allow them to be successful even after our tutoring sessions have concluded. I am especially committed to math and science education and want to help students unlock their full potenti

Through the process of entering and attending dental school I attained a great knowledge of the sciences and chemistry subjects. I have also learned vast organizational skills, which I would like to pass on. I have also written many research papers based on science subjects. I enjoy tutoring because I am able to pass on the knowledge that I have learned over the years. This knowledge can help academic and self confidence problems linked the certain subjects. The key to successful tutoring is to link the "trouble course" to feelings of enjoyment. The path to linking the course depends on student personality and interests. The student will experience more motivation and interest once the subject is properly associated to enjoyment. This starts the foundation for increased learning and a way to bypass the “learning block”. Other keys involve patients and proper explanation of the subject, w
