I’m a humble and dedicated tutor. I hold a BA in Economics and an MSc in Economics [Development Policy Analysis] both from Mekelle University. I have over 5 years of college level teaching experience at Dilla University.Specifically, I offered courses such as linear algebra, statistics, introduction to economics, microeconomics and macroeconomics to undergrad students. I believe any subject is simple – but sometimes you may need someone to show you the way. This is one of my top motivations to appreciate tutoring. In my opinion, people have different learning styles. Consequently, I utilize different methodologies to explain concepts and to resolve problems. My teaching philosophy revolves around the Chinese axiom “Give a man a fish and you have fed him once. Teach him how to fish and you have fed him for a lifetime ".

I am from South Korea and have been studying in America for 4 years. During 4 years, I was struggling to learn English and studying hard to follow my classes. As a result, I learned the efficient way of studying English(useful for people who are from other countries) and maintained A- grade during my high school. I taught Korean students who needed English help and American students who needed math help(especially for ACT math). I got 29 ACT overall score and 33 ACT math and 28 English ACT. Studying at St. Olaf College, I explored the joy of teaching. As a native Korean speaker, I taught American friends who are interested in Korean culture and Korean. During my freshman year at St.Olaf, I maintained A- grade and got a dean's list for the second semester. I enjoy teaching in general and understand the struggle of learning. Especially, math is a definitely challenging subject and somet

I specialize in understanding individual challenges and struggles and adapting my teaching and providing clarifying examples. My explanations are thorough and enhanced by my focus on listening to people. I'm currently a student at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota and I've covered many subjects in my 15 years of education. I've learned many of them well enough to teach them to my younger sister, who has ensured I review every subject two years after I complete it, rather than forget it forever. I have also helped many of my classmates understand various concepts as we learned them, which allowed me to improve my own understanding and my ability to explain things in ways that differed from the ways that didn't work coming from teachers.

I have experience as a tutor at an international boarding school. I was a math tutor and helped students with the three levels of mathematics which are offered as subjects for the International Baccalaureate program: mathematical studies, standard and higher level mathematics. Due the variety of levels of mathematics which was taught at my high school, my experience as a tutor has helped me learn how to find different approaches to explaining the material. Working with students with different backgrounds in mathematics, answering their questions and helping them with a variety of problems has been a great way to master the material and to become comfortable with dealing with different levels of mathematics. Over the last academic year I have been working as a volunteer for Project for Pride in Living in Saint Paul. I have been working with elementary school students to help them with

I have been tutoring for more than five years. I have a strong track record of many students becoming successful in their math and Spanish studies. They have earned their grade desired, and mastered the concepts very well after receiving services from me. I teach students how to become problems solver which in the long run, will last a lifetime. For Spanish, I help with writing essays, understanding Spanish literature, and Spanish grammar at all levels.

Since I am a visual learner, whenever applicable I like to visually bring the material to life. It is important to me that the student understand the concepts and be able to convey that understanding without having to refer to the textbook. With this in mind, I will go through the concepts with the students and follow that up with asking them to explain everything back to me. I have found that one of the best ways to learn a subject is to teach that subject. I learned far more in calculus as a teacher’s assistant than I ever did as a student, so I try to capitalize on that as much as possible. I am a graduate of St. John's University in Collegeville, MN, with a Bachelor of Arts degree in mathematics. The education I received along with three years of experience as a college level calculus teacher's assistant give me the tools necessary to be an effective tutor in the field of mathem

I like teaching by doing. I believe it helps the student when they can see what they are learning put into use. I am very patient and do no mind repeating things or explaining them in another way that the student understands. In my Spanish classes, I would often lead study groups of several students. I have received a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and a Bachelor of Arts in English. I have worked for several years as an electrical engineer. One of my responsibilities as an engineer was to train recent college graduates. I wrote and taught new employees the basics of engineering. I would assist them on their first few projects.

I have extensive experience in teach chemistry to students. In the past while at the University of Wyoming I had extensive one on one tutoring sessions with both college students and HS students (AP students). I have also tutored in math, and physics in the past also. First, I love helping people learn. I strive to show students and people that chemistry, math and science is all about a thought process and is something that everyone can learn. Teaching sciences is about helping and showing students how to approach the problems, and problem solve not to just solve problems individually. I also believe in using and finding many methods/examples to find how the student learns best.

My tutoring style usually depend on the person I am tutoring, however the following is my basic beliefs, which guide my teaching methods. I believe that you can make any subject matter easy by focusing on the basics and relating the subject matter to things the student can identify with. This allows the student to not become overwhelmed and more acceptable to the subject matter. In addition, I believe that the students should be challenged and encouraged to reiterate what you teach them. This allows the tutor to become more aware of the students needs and helps the tutor refine their methods. During my time at the University of Minnesota, I have been employed at several different tutoring organizations. First I worked with K through 6th grade age children at Village Parks. While there my focus was to educate students in different cultures and languages, through games and physical activit

Chemistry is a science of experiment, and highly affects the lives of everybody. My students have different back ground and are from different parts of the world. I believe that every student can learn chemistry in different ways. Above all my unique ability is to appear at any time that the students need help, including my prep time. I am very talented teacher in all sciences and mathematics which makes me different from many other teachers. Since I became a teacher I have tutored students in mathematics, biology, general science, chemistry, and physics other than teaching. I am also tutoring students at University of Minnesota and Saint Paul College since 2007. As a chemist I earned my associate degree and bachelor degree in teaching chemistry and mathematics. I was a teacher for about 10 years in Ethiopia since 1996 at different levels of education, which is from middle school to coll

I love helping people succeed. I have an ability to show someone a new way of looking at things, which is sometimes the only thing keeping a person from understanding. I also have a great ability at reading someone and noticing when they don't understand. Sometimes people are too embarrassed to speak up and ask for help, even when I'm there for that exact reason. I think that everyone has the ability to learn anything, they just sometimes need someone to explain things to them in a new way. I also worked part-time as a supplemental tutor for students of many ages. At two different tutoring centers I taught reading and mathematics to elementary aged students. I also taught reading, writing, Algebra, Geometry, and study skills to high school aged students. I also helped students of all ages with homework from school in many subjects including; Algebra, Geometry, Calculus, Chemistry,

I believe that an education is the most important foundation for a person. I am very patient and have found students learn best when each new piece of information is linked to prior knowledge. Each student learns at a different pace and in a different way. During my time at the University of Minnesota I earned two BS degrees in Mathematics and Statistics. I have a very strong background in math and science. While attending college I gained a lot of experience in education. I privately tutored, facilitated Peer Assisted Learning sessions, and also was a teaching assistant at a Saturday program instructing 4th and 5th grade girls on special topics in math. After graduation, I joined Teach for America and taught high school Algebra 1 and Geometry for seven months.

As a grad student I did a great deal of lab teaching and physics tutoring as part of my teaching assistantship. I also taught a semester of undergraduate astronomy at both the University of St. Thomas and at Normandale Community College near the end of my graduate school years. I own an engineering consulting company (www.processdiscovery.com) that provides training, mentoring and consulting using Design of Experiments (DOE). Here my students are engineers and researchers. In addition, I run a church-based program called the Alpha Course for 6 years. During those courses, and I lead and teach one of the small groups. The students are middle-age to older adults. Education has to be interactive to be effective. I try to apply a Socratic approach when I work with students - to not provide answers but to draw out answers from the student by directed questioning. In the areas that I
