Computer Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Kenmore, WA

My philosophy on teaching is not centered just on the concept at hand, but rather on the goal of helping the student develop the skills to expand on that concept and apply them to other problems. When I tutored other college students at the UW, I helped my students explore topics from every possible angle we could think of so that the student can fully develop a solid grasp of that topic, and lay down the foundations needed to be able to apply that learning and understanding to other situations and problems. Thus, even with a limited set of practice problems, I believe that with the right approach, a student can learn to work their way through an unlimited set of problems, given the proper tools and a solid foundation on a subject. As an undergraduate student at the University of Washington, I pushed myself to excel academically. I received a BS in Biochemistry and a BA in dance, allowin

I am a PhD graduate in computer engineering. My research is on applied math. I am proficient in teaching Probability & Statistics calculus, algebra and other math related subjects. I have had experiences teaching Math and computer science to undergraduate students. I am a considerate and patient teacher. I relate theory to practical scenarios when I teach. My objective of teaching is to make sure that the students understand the subject. I have an interactive session with my students asking them questions and allowing them raise their doubts. This way students get a vivid understanding of the subject and are attentive throughout the tutoring session.

I believe that most students want to learn and are capable of learning, but math seems to have developed this mystique that one needs to be extra smart to figure it out. I try to encourage students that they are smart enough to do the math, and that they just need to work slowly and thourougly. I try to show how to apply the process of solving one proble to solving similar problems with the same pattern, and I try to teach showing all steps in problme solving so that those same steps may be applied to the next problem. I tutored programming and math while earning my degree. I currently work as a substitute teacher at Bellevue Christian School. Last year while subbing at BCS I also worked at Mathnasium. During 2008-2009 I taught an Introduction to Computer Programming class, and a Math-lab class at BCS, as well as working as a sub. I also tutored math and computer programming a

I love to introduce students to new ways of thinking about language, literature, culture, and history; there's nothing better than "seeing the light go on". My aim is to help students discover their own unique style and set of skills, and enable them to develop the tools they'll need to write in academic and professional settings. These values include succinctness, readability, and expressiveness. I believe that a methodical and organized approach to writing at each level—sentence, paragraph, and essay—provides the structure and discipline needed for true freedom of expression, and I encourage students in the basics like spelling, punctuation, grammar, and outlining, while emphasizing imagination and creativity of thought. I got my BA in linguistics from the University of Washington, and earned an MLitt and PhD in English language from the University of Glasgow, Scotland. My training in

My interest in educating others sparked when I first conducted a training program for engineers in my work place. Since then I explored the field of learning and development and gained a lot of knowledge on how knowledge flows from person to person. Inspired by my findings, I did my master’s thesis on Knowledge Management. Today, I share my knowledge with my co-workers by presenting new information. I do it in a way that is interesting and easy to understand. If there is one way I can differentiate myself with others, it is the way I share and present knowledge. I am interesting in tutoring under graduates, high school students on math, physics, chemistry, statistics and computer science. I help people to understand complex ideas, gain new knowledge by presenting the information that is interesting and easy to follow. I use a lot of analogy when presenting the information. I choose a

I received my BA degree in Elementary Education from Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, WA, and taught elementary grades 2,3, & 5 for 20 years in Las Vegas,Nevada. While teaching there I also obtained a Master's Degree in Education in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Most recently for the past year I have been tutoring two children in the 5th and 6th grades. I tutored both in English with an emphasis in grammatical skills and using the writing process and also incorporated Social Studies in writing research papers. In my teaching style I strive for excellence with all my students to reach their potential while under my teaching them. I am committed to improving their understanding of concepts and skills taught and for them to learn to take responsibility for their learning, too. It is important that I observe and listen to find what method

Education, youth and adult continuing education are great passions of mine. I believe that every student has the capacity to learn and has room for improvement. I don't believe that education has to be dull and I value creative approaches to learning, all the while keeping a keen eye on the task at hand. I throughly enjoy learning each student's individual personality and strive to find ways to make material approachable, relevant and practical. Sometimes the "trick" is just to relate to what they already know and love. Key educators made a profound impact on my life and it's my simple desire to continue to do the same for others. I place a high value on practical education. I graduated high school at the top of my class and received my AA degree just a few of months later- all while working full-time. I then obtained my BA in Organizational Management and I am now in a local grad

While completing my BS in engineering, I spent two years tutoring math, physics, and optics. During my senior year I was also able to teach a portion of two terms of the freshman optics class. During the last four years I have worked as an aerospace engineer, and as a private contractor. Although these weren't teaching positions, I believe that these experiences have given me unique opportunities to share my knowledge and will be helpful to me in the future for teaching and tutoring. What strikes me most as I look back at my education is how much of an impact a teacher can have when they make their subject relevant to their students. When I am teaching I try to find out what motivates each student as a person, in addition to what is motivating them to take the class. My goal is to find a way to present the material in such a way that the experience of learning is a journey of meanin

I am a strong believer that all students have the ability to learn complicated subjects. My goal is to help students gain a fundamental understanding of the material through an encouraging and positive work environment. I always like to take a step back from specific coursework and ensure that the student understands the big picture. I also like to use comprehendible analogies and examples to help teach complicated subject matter, as well as how to solve difficult problems. At the end of the day, I hope that a student has become a better problem solver, and has gained a deeper fundamental understanding of the material at hand. I am a graduate from Occidental College in Los Angeles. I majored in Biochemistry with a minor in Physics, providing me with a vast knowledge and fundamental understanding of biology, chemistry, and physics. During my junior and senior years, I was asked to s

Through my undergraduate work in Civil Engineering I have gained a great deal of experience in the math and science courses. I started in community college and have worked my way up through many of these courses, providing me with a great sphere of education to draw from to help aid in the success of you or your child. During my undergraduate studies at the Oregon Institute of Technology I tutored for Physics, Calculus, and other higher level Civil Engineering courses. I love helping people achieve their goals. I know that people learn in different ways, and will try my best to adapt my teaching in a manner in which you or your children will receive the best results. I am positive and constructive in my approach to learning, because I know that everyone learns differently, but a good attitude can help produce exceptional results in anyone.

I believe that every student can learn, given the right approach. Sometimes the "right approach" requires explaining the concept in several different ways, or includes a more interactive process with experimentation or discussion. I try to work with each student to find the correct approach. In addition, I believe that one of the most important parts of tutoring is giving the student confidence in their own abilities, and I try to provide as much encouragement as possible. I graduated in May 2009 with a BS in Engineering from Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering, a prestigious technical school in Needham, Massachusetts. Aside from my engineering coursework, I completed an arts and humanities concentration and capstone in Political Science, focusing on third world development and ethno-political conflict. I served as a course assistant for math and science courses throughout much of

My time spent at Seattle Pacific University, equipped me through diverse experiences and rigorous academic programs to meet the need of elementary aged learners at many levels. Through experiences in high-needs urban schools as well as both high-needs and affluent suburban schools, I have worked with a broad spectrum of students. My past three years of teaching in my own classroom I have had the unique opportunity of working with students from many cultural, economic, and educational populations. In my classroom I have found a great deal of diversity with regards to students’ academic needs. I have taken additional classes, workshops, studies, and other experiences in order to diagnosis student needs and develop plans for student improvement. On a daily basis I work with scaffolding and reflect on how to meet the needs of such diverse learners. Throughout my life I have had the pleasure

In college I volunteer tutored at the Crawford Country READ center to a pupil struggling with reading comprehension, writing and mathematics. In addition to this, during my senior year at Allegheny College I was a teaching assistant for a Research Design and Statistics I and II course. Furthermore, I am currently living in Pittsburgh as a private tutor. As a recent college graduate I can understand the difficulties some students may face in grasping course material and feel capable of connecting and conveying information in an effective way. In the past I have worked with students both one and one and within a group setting, and feel comfortable adapting to any particular group or individual's needs. I believe effective teachers must compose a delicate balance of meticulous discipline and natural concern. The best teachers and professors of my academic career were not only intelligent, b

I believe education should enrich and engage a students mind. I work very hard to make connections for what students are learning to what they are passionate about. Through strong encouragement and support, I make an effort to give students confidence while challenging them to move forward and deepen their understanding. I strive to give students the means they need to take pride in their work. I have seen so many students flourish after having someone re-explain a concept in a way that makes sense to them. I am willing to put the time and energy it takes to find the explanation that works best for each student. I believe all my students can succeed in their lives. As a graduate of the University of Washington's English program, I have studied a variety of concepts and theory in literature and critical analysis.
