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

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 to show how math and science can enrich one's life and these subjects are nothing to fear.
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 ... read more

Science is FUN and Science is FACT

I am a passionate and patient teacher. It gives me a great satisfaction to make students understand the concepts and my real reward is through seeing the improvement in their performance. My style is to first analyze the student's needs. I then openly discuss my ideas with the parents and the student. Once they concur, I propose a class schedule and meet them either at their home or a public place.
I have overall 10 years of teaching experience. I came to United States to do my Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry. As a graduate student, I worked as a TA for the Department of Chemistry. I was trained on an intense 4 week program focused on undergraduate teaching methods offered by the Teaching College of U of Nebraska. I taught various undergraduate courses (both laboratory and recitation) at the Department of Chemistry, UNL. I have been living in Seattle for the past four years, and I have ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I hold a graduate degree in Engineering which gives me expertise in both math and science. I can teach elementary, middle and high school students. Infact, I believe a solid foundation in math and science is built early on and it is important to focus on development of these skills accordingly. With this mindset, I have the patience to deal with children and the motivation to make sure they understand concepts. I have also taught college students. During the last 2 years, I have tutored undergraduate students and also mentored and advised them on career choices. I have taken both GRE and GMAT and scored well on these tests. Therefore, I can guide students on test preparation as well.
My teaching style is interactive in which I urge students to solve problems. I guide students by teaching them concepts step by step, then encourage them to apply them. This helps them master concepts ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

This is my favorite quotation because it expresses what, in my opinion, is the essence of science -- it is beautiful and poetic in its own right. The statement applies particularly well to chemistry, since there are so many everyday applications of this "central" science. In these few words, Spencer eloquently sums up the role of chemistry as a scientific discipline, in society, and in University classrooms. I have come to appreciate it more throughout my teaching career. After having taught lots of students, I have experienced the satisfaction of imparting some of this poetry to them.
Qualified, trained, and certified chemistry teacher; good communication skills; ability to work with secondary and post-secondary students; eager for immediate employment in a secondary school. have enjoyed teaching ever since I was a doing my bachelors degree for a private institute at allahabad, In ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I've been teaching most of my life, first as a rank one student to my classmates and friends and later as a physics and math instructor. I enjoy showing the easy ways to go through complicated looking problems and concepts to my students and I like to witness their academic accomplishments which build the confident to be successful in life as well.
As a mom, I've learned to be patient and easy going. As a teacher, I try to find the best approach for individual students. Some of them need more guided practice and examples, while some benefit from independent work. My pace and level of difficulty in teaching will be determined by the student background and potential and it usually goes from slow/easy to harder/faster.

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 intellig ... read more

I enjoy tutoring and working with students in the academic environment. I believe students can learn and do well as long as they are taught in the correct ways. I am a very patient, supporting and outgoing person. With my tutoring experience, I am able to explain and break down the difficult concepts to the most basic level. I understand that students have various learning styles. However, I believe to improve their learning skills, all students should frequently review the basic concepts and practice the problems that they are having difficulties with. I am available to not only help students learn but also to give them the support they need.
I have recently completed a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering with an additional major in Mathematics. I have a solid understanding of different math subjects, including algebra and calculus. During the last three years, I have tu ... read more

I am often frustrated by many school teacher's lack of enthusiasm and understanding for mathematics. Contrary to many, I do not believe math should be simply memorization and calculations. There is beauty in understanding and this is what I strive to impart on the students I work with.
I have always loved and excelled at mathematics and I enjoy sharing my passion with others. I began tutoring my fellow students in high school and when I entered college I began tutoring in Seattle University's Math Lab, a free, walk-in service on campus. I have worked privately with students at all levels and especially enjoy the experience of one-on-one learning.

I believe that every child is capable of learning, and once they see how a subject is relevant to their life and goals, they usually want to learn all they can about it. I try to make academic subjects relevant by introducing real-life applications. Once a student is interested in learning, we can move on to study strategies tailored to each child's individual learning style, and develop a plan whereby the student can progress on his or her own time. At that point, tutoring sessions can focus on working through difficult problems and identifying areas where I can provide extra help and expertise.
As a child, I wasn't very interested in science, math, or the outdoors. It took an inspiring high school teacher who challenged me with interesting projects to show me how fascinating biology and ecology were. I strive to be that kind of teacher- not just to show my students how to get t ... read more

I believe it is as important of learning subject as the learning skill. So I not only teach students the subject, but also teach them study skills. I love to use multimedia and all kinds of resources to create a fun learning experience for students. I tailor my classes differently based on different student's learning styles. I am patient and detail oriented. I provide students first-class tutoring service based on their individual needs.
Graduated with a master's degree, I have been teaching for 5 years. I believe in education and I have a passion for teaching. I have expertise in the following three fields: the first is Mathematics. I teach SAT math, GRE math, GMAT math, college algebra, geometry, trigonometry and some statistics. I am good at both in class teaching and software assisted online learning.

As it has evolved over the years, my teaching style has become a mix of facilitation and direct instruction, with the goal always being the student's making his own discovery. I was trained in the Socratic style, which seems to match well with inquiry-based learning, and that is how my classes usually end up. I introduce activities, then gradually release them to the students to lead.
Over the last 15 years, I have worked in various different areas. First, I taught adult ESL, and had occasional tutoring gigs with Russian speakers learning English, and some English speakers learning Russian. Currently, I work as a special education teacher. Part of my job is to work in small ratios with honors students who have disabilities. This "study skills" class often requires one-on-one tutoring.
