I have been a tutor for the last few years, and I officially became a level 1 and level 2 certifiet tutor through the college reading and learning associations. I have worked with students and peers in basic math, and algebra subjects as well as biology and advanced science courses. I am a recent college graduate with a degree in Biology and minors in chemistry and psychology. I graduated with honors and I am also a former student athlete. I know a great deal about how to work with students as my mom is n elementary school teacher and I have volunteered with her classes multiple times and I have also given pitching lessons to younger kids in my hometown. I have also had experience working with my peers and college aged students as I worked as a course tutor throughout my time in college.

More About This Tutor...

I believe in being hands on and visual, many students have problems in math and science because they are unable to visualize the words written in their books. I am extremly organized so that my time is best spent on the most difficult areas for each individual student.
I have a BS in Biology and Genetics from North Carolina State University. I have recently taken a refresher course in Anatomy and Physiology to go back to school for radiology. I have taken college level math courses through Calculus II, I have taken General Biology, Microbiology, Biochemistry, Organic Chemistry, and multiple courses in Genetics. I have helped tutor in high school for the Chemistry AP exam and helped fellow students in college.

I am a firm believer that every child can learn and succeed, particularly when working with an educator that connects with them and is willing to take the time to adjust to their specific learning style. I love working with students and helping them to achieve their potential. I am an engaging, patient and considerate instructor. I have seen the difference excellent teaching makes in my own life and I hope to make a similar impact on the lives of my students.
As a Princeton University graduate and current Ph D student at the University of Michigan, I am committed to both my own education as well as the education of others. My undergraduate degree in Art & Archaeology provided me with a solid humanities background and strong reading, writing and analytical skills. In addition to my humanities skills, I also have a strong math background. Following college, I worked with Teach for ... read more

As a graduate from an accredited college, I have learned and excelled as a science major. I have earned a BA in Biology, which has enabled me to obtain a well rounded education, which focused on math and science. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills throughout my educational experience in writing laboratory reports, research papers, and on my own study I, myself conducted. For the past six years I have worked with challenged children and adults all subject areas. I am very hands on, so I like to take my students outside and let them touch and feel things we are learning about. I can teach all subject areas and will probably begin a Masters program for teaching next fall.
Since working with the disabled folks I have learned patience is a virtue. I also learned that each person is very unique and learns in different ways. I will meet your child's individual ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

During my 37 year work career, I participated in the design, construction and operation of various types of energy plants. I graduated Cum Laude from N.C. State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering. I also obtained a Master’s Degree in Business Administration from Duke University while working full time. I was a registered professional engineer in North Carolina for over 20 years while actively practicing engineering. I have very strong capabilities in math, science and general business and most importantly have the ability to translate and communicate the concepts in these areas so that they are easily understandable by students and other non-technical personnel.
I am a very practical and "hands-on" person and have a strong passion for explaining technical concepts to students so that these are understood and appreciated. I personally believ ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love working with children as well as adults. I am very patient and understand the difficulties of school work. Not all children learn from the same style of teaching or at the same rate, and I believe that a dedicated teacher can make all the difference in a child's education. Because each child is different, I can modify my approach to fit the needs of the child in a fun, productive manner.
Having graduated from Appalachian State University in 2009 with a BSc. in Biology/Ecology, as well as an internship at the Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota, Florida, I've returned back to Asheville to find employment. I have had experience working with children and teenagers as a senior counselor at Cedars Camps for over 3 years as well a counselor for children at The Florida Aquarium. I have also worked for several years as the Teaching Assistant in Geology at both Principia College ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I do not have a particular style of teaching. I prefer to talk to the individual I am tutoring and together discover the best way to teach them the subject material. I believe that everyone learns information at a different pace and that some information is easier to process than other information. I believe that individuals should be comfortable while learning in order for them to actually learn. I would never force someone to learn "my way" and would work with them on developing a way that works for both of us. I would also focus on teaching proper study habits so the individuals can apply them and possibly not need a tutor in the future.
I have wanted to help others learn for as long as I can remember; even as early as the fourth grade I was helping my classmates with assignments. I have always loved learning and helping others to learn. I earned a BS in Psychology in coll ... read more

Although I have been self employed for the last 6 years, I went back to school last year to add Science and Math for middle school to my certification. I passed the Praxis for both of those subjects spring of 2010. I was not able to get a full time teaching position this year. I went back to working for myself but would love to tutor. I have tutored for 3 years while I worked for Tryon Elementary school. I had great success with the students I worked with, in particular concerning math. I am very qualified to work in a tutoring capacity.
I believe in good classroom management and organized lesson plans. I set appropriate boundaries and expect the students to follow the rules that are set before them. That being said I try to make the learning as fun as possible but organized. I also try to bring in anything that they are interested in to make them enjoy the subject they are ... read more

My teaching style is best characterized as unique, practical, and demonstration oriented, and I believe that the combination of these characteristics make me an above average instructor. My words are selected carefully; I specifically chose the words unique and practical based on my methods for introducing topics. In general, I find it most effective when I introduce obscure and/or hard to grasp scientific concepts via ordinary everyday things and ideas that students are used to thinking about. This makes difficult topics seem more approachable and significantly easier to grasp.
My first opportunities to teach began as an undergraduate, where I was tutoring my peers in most basic science topics. My most significant undergraduate teaching experience was an opportunity I created for myself leading weekly review and problem solving sessions for undergraduate Organic Chemistry courses. ... read more

I recently graduated from Texas A&M University earning a BS in biology with a 3.75 GPA. I have taken course work in many disciplines of biology as well as chemistry, biochemistry, physics, algebra, statistics, and English. The curriculum emphasized the importance of integrating concepts rather than memorizing individual points. I developed strong organizational and writing skills. I believe that the ability to articulate your thoughts concisely on paper leads to a better understanding of the material and ability to communicate with others. I have unofficially tutored fellow classmates in algebra and physiology. I was given the opportunity to tutor children grades 1-4 in a local after school program in reading, spelling, and mathematics.
My most recent job was as a nursery caregiver at a church, where I was also a teaching assistant for Bible study. I enjoyed working with the childr ... read more

As a teacher I feel that I will bring more than just the standard teaching requirements to the table. Throughout my own education at Kent State University, I had many experiences and opportunities that inspired me to be passionate and committed to educating students for the future. I hope to be a role model for my students by making a difference in their lives while showing them how important they are to me. I also understand that in order to complete these goals, collaboration and self reflection make all the difference. I am always open to critique my teaching in order to better assist my students.

One of the most important task in tutoring is building up a students self confidence. Some students have a learning barrier due to their lack of confidence in a given subject, so I believe a part of a tutors job is to build the confidence of a student, allowing them to believe they are able to do whatever they put their mind to. I use hands on and visual learning techniques which involves draw pictures, using surrounding objects or using examples students can readily relate to. My main goal is to make it FUN. Once a student finds a subject fun they usually put forth the effort to progress in the program. To tutor for me, is fun and it is a journey that the student and the teacher take together, this is why I enjoy it.
I Have earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry, Concentration in Biochemistry, but having attended a liberal arts college, I have also gained a well rounded ... read more
