More About This Tutor...

I have an MS in mathematics from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, a math-science-engineering college located in Terre Haute, IN. I have successfully tutored high school and college students from basic math through statistics. My high school students have improved their math qualifying exam scores substantially. Additionally, I have been an adjunct professor at Franklin University of Ohio, Ivy Tech, Harrison College and National College.
My teaching style is to involve the student at his or her level of knowledge and to encourage them to succeed on a personal and professional level. I encourage competence and confidence at all levels of math and science working with the student to remove any math or science-phobic areas that they may have. Student rating and comments included 1) “Great teacher and great outside resources”, 2) “He is a very knowledgeable person in this field ... read more

As an engineer, I love math, and I love tutoring math. Every student has a different way of learning, and I try to find the best way for every one, playing and learning, real problems applied, flash cards, drawings, etc. I truly believe every body can learn, understand and become to love math in the way that I do. I may encourage few of them in become an Engineer, too, and help to improve this country. I'm willing to tutor students after school hours during the whole school year, on holydays, weekends, summer, or spring times. I also can practice students for the Istep test, Core 40 exam, in Algebra I, Geometry, and algebra II.

More About This Tutor...

Teaching is a calling which I have loved all my life for which a variety of techniques and strategies are required as each child learns differently. Adaptability, love of learning and children, organization, patience, knowledge, and consideration are all necessary qualities to be a good professor, teacher, or tutor. Good educators do make a world of difference in the process of education, no matter what level of learning.
I have been teaching for twenty-nine years in subjects of English, Literature, Art History, Drawing, World Civilization, and the Humanities. I have earned three degrees, a BA in Social Sciences/English, a MH in Humanities, and a PhD in Fine Arts, which have enabled me to teach a variety of areas. Throughout my teaching career I have taught research, essays, and grammar skills. For the past year, I have tutored students in English and Social Studies in the AVI ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have always loved mathematics, but never thought I would end up being a teacher. I initially used my strong analytical skills in the business world. As I continued to work with young people through my church and professional jobs lead me to human relations positions, I yearned to combine this talent in relating to young people to my passion for math. I completed a career transition four years ago and it has been everything that I expected. I especially enjoy one-on-one tutoring because it allows me to ensure that the student has completely grasped the concepts before moving on. My specialty is AP Calculus and PreCalculus/Trig. In three years time, I have improved the pass rate on AP Calculus exams from 0% to 50%.
I am a strong believer in student-directed learning. While I am happy to explain concepts and answer specific questions, many students merely ask “Can you show me ... read more

I first try to determine what level of knowledge my "students" had. Then, building on that, I would add layers until the group I was with understood the material. I would check with them frequently to make sure they understood what we just covered and I allowed questions at any time. If necessary, I would back up and try a different approach. My goal was to make sure they understood the material, whatever it took.
While I have no "official" teaching experience, I was frequently required to teach other members of the various teams I was on as well as people from other groups. This involved everything from tutorial presentations to a large and diverse group down to individual tutoring at the table in my office. Most people told me I was pretty good at it.

More About This Tutor...

I graduated from Purdue University in May of 2007 with a BS degree in Applied Physics. The Applied portion means I took an additional 10 courses on top of the normal physics load. This has given me an in-site on math, physics, chemistry, computer programming, astronomy, and a bit about electronics. I know how to be thorough in my work with a high attention to detail. I have tutored in math, physics, and chemistry in the past.
I approach teaching as a challenge; as I know not every student learns the same way. I first start by finding a common ground; a level of knowledge if you will. Essentially I find what they know and where do they need help. From there I like to find out something the student has an interest in; thus allowing me to relate subjects to something they find interesting. I also like to constantly reinforce what the student has learned with questions and exam ... read more
