I will be upfront, I was known as a firm, but fair, teacher. I see science as a field primarily learned through doing, and I enjoy performing science demonstrations with my students to help illustrate new concepts. At the same time, I expect students to attempt to solve problems on their own, as opposed to simply memorizing how I solve problems. While it is sometimes difficult at first, I find it gives them confidence to approach future concepts and ideas both in and out of the specific science course.
As a high school teacher, I facilitated the instruction of approximately 100 students in Chemistry in accordance with Massachusetts Learning Standards. Developed and implemented course curriculum for the Forensic Science course, including labs featuring gun shot residue testing, urinalysis, and DNA electrophoresis .

I alter my teaching curriculum and style to fit the student’s individual needs and learning requirements. I believe in making the subject fun and exciting! Teaching should be a partnership that involves lots of interaction.

I teach so I can empower the individule to create a goal that can be attained. I have a stregth based approach, which gives the one I am teaching a positive outlook at what they can achieve. My focus is to empower the student to achieve their goals and to make the choice to further their education with enformed guidelines.
As a Social Worker I came in contact with young adults who have dropped out of school because of becoming young parents, drug use, and or a lack of support from parents. My initial contact was to address child abuse and or neglect but I quickly recognized the bigger picture included their inability to process information because of a lack of education. I started a parenting class to give them a safe place to start looking at these issues.

I enjoy working with students who need to improve their reading and writing skills and basic mathematics skill, and need help building their skills. I believe anyone can learn anything they want, and that with the right help, motivation and encouragement, can achieve their education goals. I adapt my teaching approach to the learning style of the student I am working with. I work especially well with students who need calm, patient and encouraging assistance.
As a college student, I held a tutoring position on campus in the remedial learning lab, assisting college students with basic math,reading and language skills. I worked a halftime schedule there for 5 years and by my 4th and 5th years, I was teaching classes, in addition to tutoring privately and in small groups in the lab. This is work I thoroughly enjoyed. In my working career in healthcare, I again found myself in a teachi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Welcome! I believe it important to make any material a student is learning ‘realistic’. I am a father and understand the need for patience, accepting individual needs and developing a child's sense of purpose. I strive to present real-life examples that apply to the material being studied, and then focus on practice. While repetition (using worksheets or going over the process from different directions) is important, my goal is to explore the concept so that the student is capable of addressing the problem AND understands the theory behind it. I am convinced that any student can learn any material, provided the tools to learn, study and find resources. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Bill Adams

Interactive--listening to and learning from student to determine "where they're at". Then, posing questions to enable them to find their own beginning/solution/answers. If session doesn't find a promising beginning, start from a base and progress with them. Interaction prevents or indicates "going too fast" or overwhelming them--"the eyes" are engaged or indicate "shut-down". Making the math or education "mean something" provides a reason for learning or further developing the concepts. Encouragement and sincere compliments are very important. Sharing your own struggles or an "ah-huh" moment helps ease the role differences toward a comfortable, encouraging, learning relationship.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a tutor, I work through problems/passages with a student to determine weak points to address and to find ways for the student to connect with the subject matter. Once I determine a student’s interests and academic strengths, I present new concepts in ways that make more sense to the student and hopefully interest him or her more. Because many students falter due to lack of motivation, I also believe that it is vital to a student’s continued success to explain how an understanding of the subjects he/she is studying will allow him/her to reach goals for high school, college, and beyond. My ultimate goal is to help a student come to regard academic success as something of which he or she is capable.

I am a teacher who believes in student's leading their own learning. In the world of tutoring, that corresponds to guiding students toward their own self-discovery. My goal is to give students the skills and tools which will allow them to become self-sufficient and self-reliant students of the world no matter where they go. Specifically, I will teach them how to ask themselves and others the questions that will lead to the most satisfactory solution. My style is flexible and will match the attitude and expression of the individual and/or particular goals of students and their caregivers. I believe in meeting a student where they are at and respecting their individual values while at the same time improving academic achievement.

A Little Bit About Me...

Though my primary study has been of a religious nature, I am very skilled in the other subjects of a quality educational foundation, as well. I am especially gifted at math as I scored a 730 in math on my SAT's. In 2003 I worked at Cedarcrest High School in Duvall as Special Education Assistant tutoring students with ADD and ADHD. I have also taught in a private kindergarten in Taiwan. I have had many positive experiences mentoring high school and middle school students in faith based organizations. In recent years I have served as a mentor, guide, and teacher in non-profit settings primarily investing in young adults between 18 and 30. During this time I have also mentored high school interns in my non-profit leadership roles.
