When I was in high school I had a lot of anxiety about math. I went back to college late in life and I was terrified that I would have to take a few math courses to graduate. It wasn't long before math was my favorite class and I changed my major. When I was in school I helped a lot of my classmates with calculus. After I graduated I got a job as a tutor working with high school students on preparation for college entrance exams and mathematics. I found that to be very rewarding.

I believe the most effective way to learn is through self discovery of the concepts. This should be done in a very positive environment in which the student is encouraged and motivated to fully understand the material. I don't believe in memorization, but understanding. I have always loved helping others. In college I tutored 2 seperate high school students in chemistry and one in algebra, for a total of about 2 yrs experience. In college I also participated in "Students teaching AIDS to Students". I volunteered at a preschool in Costa Rica where I taught sanitation and health. I have traveled to Africa multiple times to volunteer and conduct research. I am very experienced in the fields of science and math and love passing this knowledge on to others. I plan on using my PhD to educate students in Africa about health and science

My degrees have taken me places that I never thought they would. I was excited to teach English in a school in Costa Rica for one year. There I was able to learn Spanish quickly as well as help elementary school children learn English. I taught grammar as well as science. I also tutored on the side in all subjects. Previous to this experience I tutored a fourth grader in geography, history, and spelling. In college I used many skills that helped me to prepare for teaching. A short list of these skills is math, creative writing, computer skills, memorization, and art work. Due to the fact that I was a science and art major I wrote many essays and made many different types of projects. For two semesters I did microbiology research, where I learned critical thinking and lab technique. I enjoy teaching children and have been assisting children in their homework for many years.

Although I earned a mathematics degree, I struggled to gain complete competence in algebra and geometry. I believe that my initial struggles have enabled me to become a better teacher because I constantly offer several ways of solving a problem to my students. I do not have to pause and wait for them to comprehend the material the first try. I can simply try re-phrasing or a different method. Also, I am intrinsically patient and a people-pleaser. I love seeing children succeed and value their success. As a mathematics graduate, I am very detail-oriented and organized. Throughout college I tutored college students in calculus, business math, and statistics. I also tutored high school students in Algebra 1 and 2, Trigonometry, and Geometry. My easy-going and patient teaching style created many referrals that made me a successful and lucrative tutor. During the past six years I hav

I teach straight forward using the math laws which makes math logical and easy to understand. Algebra is the key to understanding all other levels of calculus and physics which is applied mathematics as well as chemistry. While I was attending Weber State University, my part-time employment was to be a mathematics tutor for recent high school grads who did not pick up math from the elementry levels. I would tutor 8 hrs a day in between my classes for two years Student Support Services in Ogden UT where the college is located. I am at present a test evaluator for Kelly Services grading the Massachusetts math test for MCAS in Longmont CO.

Through the completion of my Biological Sciences major, I became well-versed in a variety of subjects, ranging from biology and chemistry to calculus, statistics, and public speaking. I was able to hone in on a range of study skills that have proven to be successful for all age groups. I have led study groups and assisted fellow students of all ages in their academic studies, and look forward to the opportunity to work with you and help you reach your goals. I am excited to bring my background and interest in teaching to tutor people of all ages, and I will strive to help students develop life-long skills for success. I look forward to working with you! I am passionate about helping students reach their academic goals. Through my own development of study skills through my education, I believe my methods will give students the confidence and grades they want and need to bring their aca

Since my sophomore year of high school, I have been helping my peers in subjects related to science and math. I helped the biology teachers create quizzes, grade papers, and provide after-school academic assistance to students. During my first semester of college, I participated in the Triunfo/Triumph Tutoring Program through El Centro Student Services at Colorado State University. This program targets K-5 grade students in the Poudre School District who need mentors to guide them with their studies. Throughout the remainder of my undergraduate experience (and even currently as a graduate), I am helping me peers understand concepts taught in college chemistry (general and organic), biology, and various levels of math. Teaching style varies with the subject. For math, I derive how to arrive at the answer without memorizing a process. Once the student has grasped a concept, I provide

I believe that education comprises steps from the known to the unknown in directions that cultivates curiosity. Therefore my first steps are to (1) become well acquainted with my students, including learning their interests and assessing their prior knowledge of relevant subjects, and (2) establish mutual respect in the classroom. Another habit to establish early is the need to have fun. I keep high school students cognizant that employment in the world is very competitive. To meet this challenge, they should actively explore their interests, especially with extracurricular activities. My ultimate goal is to inspire students to become self-driven learners because education continues throughout one’s lifetime. The majority of my educational experience was acquired along with my teaching license at Colorado State University. This experience includes practicums in Fort Collins schools and 1

I taught and tutored students at a Learning Center in Fort Collins for several years. The math curriculum covered basic, intermediate, and advanced math. I also taught study skill subjects. I've helped high school and college students with homework support in physics, chemistry, and advanced high school math. I have also substituted in math and science classes within the Loveland school district. My teaching style is pretty much dictated by the student and their preferred learning style or combination of styles. For example: a student may just lack confidence, some need help with basic subject skills, or may have a difficult time conceptualizing processes or procedures particularly in math and science.

I am a retired statistician, with degrees in physics, aeronautical engineering and business. The following is a summary of my tutoring experience: As a student at M.I.T., I designed and taught a 6-week class on "Airplanes and Space Flight" to area high school students at "M.I.T. High School." When my sons were in middle school, I designed and taught a 6-session course on Statistics to 10 students. I provided group tutoring in pre-algebra and algebra to students at a private school in Virginia. I tutored math and physics at The Tutor Center in Loveland, the Larimer County Workforce Center, and the Thompson School District. I will be teaching an enrichment course on statistical literacy to senior citizens in Larimer County. I am particularly adept at explaining mathematical concepts and techniques to students. I find a way to build on what the student already knows. I find a wa

While at Devry Institute of Technology, I was ranked in the top 3% of National Engineering students. This degree required advanced mathematics including Calculus, differential equations, and network synthesis. It also included computer programming and electronic circuit theory and design. In my career I have taught Windows, MS Office, robotics and programming to adults, helped teenagers graduate from high school, and helped my 7 year old daughter learn math. I believe that everyone, children and adults alike, can learn through patience, creativity and organized lessons. I make it fun and interesting, and possess many years of interesting real world experiences to draw on to help students understand and learn.

I believe that children need positive and supportive individuals in their lives. I am a teacher who makes learning exciting and relevant through real-life simulations, hands on experiences, and celebration of accomplishments. I believe children are naturally creative, inquisitive, and energetic. I can help students focus their energy to further enhance their creative and inquisitive abilities. I truly love teaching. The greatest feeling I have is when a struggling student reaches understanding. Knowing I am able to use a variety of teaching techniques to help students find academic success is why I believe I succeed as a teacher. I am a caring, creative, enthusiastic person who loves to make a difference. As a current middle school teacher and former high school teacher, I have discovered several teaching techniques to attain the highest level of success in the middle school and h
