SAT - Math Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Las Cruces, NM

“Learning” is often measured by the amount of information a student has absorbed. Learning, in an exciting sense, really happens when factual knowledge is accompanied by the ability to apply knowledge, to synthesize, to make predictions and judgments, and ultimately, to make defensible normative claims.Based on this,I mostly use Student-centered approaches. I act both as a facilitator and a delegator depending on the types of student I'm working with. My basic approach to teaching mathematics is to try to infuse the students with the same enthusiasm that I have for the subject and to speak with them as if I were explaining the subject to just one person rather than formally presenting to the class as a whole ?2008-2009: Part time teacher in Physical Science (Physics and Chemistry) in Government Technical High School (G.T.H.S) Molyko – Buea ?2008 – 2009; organized private classes in P

My teaching style generally varies based on who I am tutoring/teaching. I generally treat my students as adults and under the assumption that they will go to college. I also tend to go a little beyond what is covered in the subject (especially in math) as a preparation for whatever course may come next (i.e. I would probably give a prealgebra student full fledged algebra work in order to prepare him/her for the next year). I am a sophomore mathematics major at the University of Texas at El Paso. I have taught a GED class for adults facilitated by the Housing Authority of the City of El Paso (HACEP) and the YWCA. I have 6 years of tutoring experience and other programs under which I tutored include the National Honor Society, Beta Club, and JROTC.

I used to work at several private schools in Jordan. Many of the schools were applying American teaching styles to their system. I am capable of tutoring all levels of mathematics, physics, and many computer subjects. I work with a hands-on approach. There is a lot of logical thinking and step-by-step processing in math and science. So, the student and I work together through each problem until they understand the process.

No two students are the same which is why it is so important to have a flexible teaching style. My first lesson is usually spent analyzing a students attention level, skill level, and learning style. Some students learn through repetition, others like lots of different examples, and there are always a few who want to know why and how something works, eg. theory, proofs, and real world applications. I like to try a lot of different things and see what works with an individual. I have also taught middle and high school students, so I have also learned how to teach in an entertaining way. Upon entering college in 1998, I had already taken Calculus while most other students were typically taking Algebra. This presented a good opportunity, but it is one thing is to know the material well and it is another thing to know how to teach. Since I have a younger brother, I developed these skil

I absolutely love teaching and especially enjoy working with upper level students, although I love working with children as well. I believe every student has been given unique gifts and talents, but needs others to help them discover those abilities. As a teacher, I don't expect all my students to be "math geniuses" because their talents may be in a different field, but I do expect all my students to excel in what they do and give their all. I encourage my students to make every effort to do their best because they CAN succeed at whatever they put their minds to. My goal as an educator is to instill confidence in every student and guide them to academic success so they can carry that confidence into all areas of life. I am very passionate about educating others and have used my two Education degrees (Bachelor’s and Master’s) to work with students of all levels, especially in math. In my

My educational background is in biology and medicine.My teaching experience has been in a pediatric office based clinical setting. I have participated in training medical students, residents and nursing students.I also have extensive experience working with young children, adolescents and their families. I have a great deal of experience counseling and addressing school failure and behavior problems. I am currently enrolled in Texas Teacher's ACP and am undergoing the process of becoming officially certified to teach in Texas. . I love children and have a knack for connecting with them. I am enthusiastic, patient and conscientious. I believe real learning is a product of both mastering the basics and adapting whichever style suits a child's particular strengths for memory and understanding.

I enjoy teaching kids and particular the satisfaction that the kid gets when they finally understand the subject. I believe I must make myself fit to the students needs and not the student to my way of teaching, because there are many ways to have a kid understand the subject. Education is the tool that will open the doors of opportunity and will enhance your individual worth. I worked as substitute teacher for the Denver Public Schools during my senior year of university. I have also worked and certified as instructor in the US Army in several fields to include math and science.

No two people are alike, so my teaching style is to find out what a person's style of understanding is, and to frame my teaching around that. Some people need to hear it out loud, some need to write, some need a picture. In whichever case, I consider the material to be learned once the student can explain it back to me. I worked as a research assistant at Arizona State University until I graduated with my Bachelor's Degrees in psychology. This allowed me a great deal of hands on experience in applying mathematical and scientific principles in gathering data and doing statistical regressions. I have also worked as tutor independently for about the last 5 years, primarily in math and science for high school and college student. i have also helped with test prep for sat and ASVAB.

As a graduate of the University of Texas at El Paso with a BS in Mechanical Engineering, I have developed refined skills in the fields of mathematics and science. I have also developed exceptional writing and public speaking skills through the reporting and presentation of research projects. I also have many years of experience tutoring various subjects such as mathematics, physics, writing and economics privately, as well as teaching physics workshops in college level physics. I have also been appointed to plan and coordinate a mathematics and science program for Destiny Family Christian Center. Of all the subjects I have tutored I have never had a student fail, and students have always shown improvement in the tutored subject area. I believe that education is built from the foundation up. In the first tutoring session, I evaluate the student to see whether or not all the fundamentals o

As an Engineer with 7 years of experience I have achieved excellent technical skills, which I have used when teaching Math and Science. I have tutored for 3 SES providers, including at-risk schools, where I gained experience on didactics and a cariety of pedagagogical skills. Also, since I have been substitute-teaching since 10/2010, I have gained knowledge and skill in pedadogy for a variety of subjects such as Math, Chemistry, Physics, English, Social studies, Communications and Web design. Finally, because of my experience as a Sales Representative, I have excellent communication skills in Englsih and Spanish. My teaching style is aligned to the Congnitive theory of Learning, in which I attempt to apply all of the following: 1. A review and connection to previously learned material and to material across disciplines 2. Presentation of material using language and ideas correspon

I ascribe to Gardner's 8 Stages of Intelligence theory, which purports the belief that every student is gifted, intelligent and capable of learning in a manner that conducive to their own unique style. As a teacher, I use myself as a tool to help facilitate the learning process. I have a social work background which, in my work has always been integrated with some component of teaching, both in and out of the classroom. I can teach most K-12 subjects, college prep courses and provide tutoring services including assessment and curriculum development. I tend to be rather versatile in my teaching methods as I adapt to the learning style of the student. It's what I have found most effective in improving the quality of their educational experience. I play tournament chess and enjoy coaching chess club as well.

Through my experience as a tutor I learned that each student is different. I strive to recognize that difference and use it to emphasize learning strategies. I provided customized teaching for each student based on their prior mathematical knowledge and progress. As a tutor my goal is to expand student’s abilities in logical, abstract, and scientific thinking and to promote deeper understanding and farther exploration of the subject. I motivate students to be proactive in their math courses. I think that the best tutoring is when you can put a student on their own feet in the shortest amount of time; where student would not require your help any longer but understands how to learn efficiently and productively on their own. I recently graduated with BS in Electrical and Computer Engineering. While in school I worked as a tutor for 2 years. I tutored college students in mathematics and sci
