Jonathon E. - Sevierville, TN 37876 (31.7 mi) - Physics Tutor - $35.00/hr.
I have mentored various people since 2000, in all types of subjects, including math, science, social sciences, English, writing, literature, and other related subjects. My academic record is very strong, and I believe empowering those I work with every single time. The only pre-requisites are that you have to be willing to learn, and learn how to learn. I like to use the Socratic method, mainly by asking questions and challenging assumptions. In addition, I like to engage those I teach, challenging them to think about what they previously have not considered. I believe in building on successes, and offering constructive criticism, where appropriate.

Leonel I - Leicester, NC 28748 (4.8 mi) - Physics Tutor - $42.50/hr.
I have a BS in Cybernetics Engineering. As an engineer, my knowledge of math and physics is high. As a student I solved so many operations involving calculus that I memorized the formulas and used them as fast as the multiplication tables.
I am a native Spanish speaker. I was trained as a language teacher by Berlitz, one of the best language centers in the world.
I have a certificate in Drama. I worked for a private elementary school as a drama teacher for 2 years. I enjoy teaching very much. I am a very patient person and more than teaching the students I like helping them figure things out by themselves. I always try to create "real life" situations for them to use the knowledge acquired instead of making them solve abstract operations.

Laura F - Asheville, NC 28806 (8.9 mi) - Physics Tutor - $35.00/hr.
As an engineering major, I learned what it takes to work hard and excel in academics. I graduated at the top of my class with a 3.9 GPA. The engineering degree provided me with a deep understanding of both math and science and has enabled me to tutor and teach in those subjects at most levels. Over the past year I have been tutoring and substitute teaching in a variety of subjects with a focus on math and science. I love working with youth, both in the classroom and outside it. I am inspired by helping create knowledgeable and inquisitive children by providing them with the skills necessary for academic success. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences and that is precisely what I strive to do. Not every child learns the same and with this knowledge I am able to modify my teaching style to fit the learning sty

Scott C - Asheville, NC 28804 (9.2 mi) - Physics Tutor - $41.00/hr.
As a high school student, I was very active in extracurricular activities. I participated in the rotary club, volunteering at local soup kitchens. I was also a member of the Newspaper, Quiz Bowl, Robotics Team, soccer and baseball throughout my high school career. Through volunteering at the Boys and Girls club, I was turned out to tutoring students in Algebra and Trigonometry. I spent my Junior and Senior year tutoring students in these areas of mathematics. I think that in today's public education system, with ever-growing class sizes some students get thrown to the wayside. These students need a more personalized learning plan that offers them head-to-head or small group discussions. I can relate to the child who remains silent because he doesn't think his question is smart enough. Subsequently, that child starts getting left behind little by little until they feel completely lost and

Ellyn M - Asheville, NC 28804 (9.2 mi) - Physics Tutor - $32.00/hr.
I love sharing my passion of science and learning! I tend to break down complex concepts into simple, more manageable components, by utilizing interesting analogies and easily understood associations before moving on to more complex subjects. I firmly believe that doing well in science or math requires comprehension, rather than just memorizing material for a test. Through examples, making problems "real," and consistent review will allow any student to succeed.
As an aside, I was diagnosed with adult ADHD almost four years ago. I desire to help students who are frustrated and feel like they can't achieve in school. I strive to help students excel in anything they want to accomplish! I have a degree from UNC-A (BS in cell and molecular biology). This focus provided me understanding of chemistry, physics, and biology. I am applying to PhD programs in biochemistry. I spent two

Zachary H - Asheville, NC 28801 (10.8 mi) - Physics Tutor - $36.50/hr.
Since childhood, my hunger for knowledge has driven me to study and learn about almost as much as I possibly could. My high estimation of learning has often led me to help others to learn whenever I can. Always drawn to math and science, I pursued chemistry in college and received my B.S. from North Carolina State University in Chemistry in 2002. In grade school and high-school I was always looked to by my fellow students for help and explanation of many topics. This continued throughout college where I gained a job tutoring at another school and also worked at the study labs of NCSU. Science and math are my passions, but I can help equally with humanities. I begin teaching each tutee by first observing their own approach to studying, listening to their explanations and questions about the material, and indentifying their strengths and deficincies with respect to knowledge of the subject

Teresa S - Asheville, NC 28801 (10.9 mi) - Physics Tutor - $35.50/hr.
I taught high school science for four years before returning to further my education and after getting a Master's in Counseling became a school counselor in public school. I worked for 11 years teaching a mental health curriculum that is developmental and research based in grades one through five. I then took my mental health curriculum to the middle school level where I continued to teach in small groups.Presently I am employed in the mental health field and have been involved with Intensive Gestalt Therapy Training. I am currently certified as both counselor and Science Teacher in the state of North Carolina. I teach a child that he or she can learn and help them become aware of their own unique learning style and teach ways of using study aides based on their unique learning style. I like experiential learning in which the child naturally develops a love of learning.Once the child lea

benjamin c - asheville, NC 28804 (11.1 mi) - Physics Tutor - $41.00/hr.
I maintain a high level of patience in dealing with other people. During my studies as an undergraduate and in veterinar school, I have gained extensive knowledge in many subjects. Combined, I have nearly 300 semester hours of biological science course work completed. I am familiar with laboratory procedures and the different styles of writing required for various reports. I also have superb knowledge of what is expected of early studenst to gain entry to and succeed at the higher education level. My teaching style revolves around helping the student rationalize the information. I believe it is highly important the student learns to differentiate between the subjective and the objective, providing them with the tools that they can utilize for the rest of their educational and professional careers.

Christian J - Asheville, NC 27030 (11.2 mi) - Physics Tutor - $36.00/hr.
As a liberal arts student, I was taught to pursue the bridge between science and understanding. My education has fostered in me an appreciation of learning, and a belief that comprehension is attainable through multiple avenues. If a student struggles by one avenue, then I believe it is my job to pave another. A student must be able to not only know an answer, but also understand how they themselves got to that answer. I strive to nurture a love of learning, and try to pass on that passion. I have ADHD and dyslexia, and as such have an understanding of the difficulties that a student can have when trying to learn. For some students, it is not enough to merely teach them, but they must be taught how to teach themselves. I earned my BS in Biology at a liberal arts school. My education has given me a scientific training that is bolstered with an in depth knowledge of the humanities. Through

Shelly G - Asheville, NC 28805 (12.4 mi) - Physics Tutor - $34.00/hr.
As a fellow during my graduate work at Indiana University, I taught undergraduate courses focused on helping students improve their written and oral communication skills. While pursuing a double major during my undergraduate years at the University of Notre Dame, I served as a university tutor, helping students in chemistry, communications, English and Spanish. Additionally, I have served as a volunteer for Head Start, a national government program that provides learning opportunities for preschool children from disadvantaged families. I have worked with children as young as three years old; at the same time, I have taught 30- and 40-somethings returning to the classroom for the first time in 20 years. Each child learns in a different way. I enjoy finding what works for each child. In the current state of education, children often find themselves burdened with an exorbitant amount of wo

John S - Asheville, NC 28805 (13.7 mi) - Physics Tutor - $37.50/hr.
If I were to sum my "style" of teaching up, it would be "patience with determination". Perhaps my best achievment is with my wife who recently graduated from A-B Tech. Kate has always had a block toward anything mathematic. She had one course between her and graduation, college algebra! The bottom line here is that I patiently stuck through this course treatment with her to a successful completion, she completed the course and graduated with a well earned "C" or a 78%. With patience and determination shared together with the student, impediments like a dread for math can be overcome. The civil engineering program that I successfully completed into a 4 year BS degree, was math and science intensive, with about half the courses requiring laboratory work. My highest math course was in differential equations, also I completed physics, chemistry, and electrical course material.

John L - Arden, NC 28704 (14 mi) - Physics Tutor - $55.00/hr.
I have earned BS, MS, & PhD degrees in Chemical Engineering. This accomplishment required a broad fundamental knowledge of mathematics, chemistry and engineering. Opportunities for teaching, mentoring and tutoring arose during the attainment of my PhD and in the subsequent three-decades of my engineering career. Because I was in a management role during much of this period, I developed strong oral and written communication skills. These knowledge bases and skills have served me well during “post-retirement” in teaching and tutoring college level math, mentoring grade school students, and assisting instruction of both youth and adults in the fundamentals of martial arts. I believe in the value of one-on-one tutoring, and I actively listen to the student’s questions and responses to uncover any barriers to the understanding of a problem. I depend upon regular review at the beginning of eac

Richard S - Asheville, NC 28803 (14.6 mi) - Physics Tutor - $37.00/hr.
I have completed courses in algebra, calculus, statistics, physics, chemistry, organic chemistry, cell biology, ecology, and other biology related courses all of which require a high math and science competency. I have also performed extensive research at UNCC and graduated with a 3.1. I have also tutored college students in chemistry and algebra on the side. I come from a family of educators -- a college professor, a principal, an elementary school teacher, and a school counselor and basketball coach. I think all of these members of my family have influenced me in a positive way in regards to teaching. I am a compassionate, patient person and am willing to help when people need it. I have been told by fellow classmates that I should become a teacher. I also have experience in a school-structured summer camp in which training was obtained and a curriculum was followed.

Delaney B - Asheville, NC 28805 (14.8 mi) - Physics Tutor - $34.00/hr.
I believe that a great educator is a great learner. I am always up for learning new things, so that I am able to teach someone else my new skill. I believe in a hands on approach to learning. The more that can be discovered by doing is much more beneficial than just reading from a text. I am a patient and caring person who is dedicated to taking the time to make sure that your child receives the attention that he or she needs. I have wanted to work with kids all my life. I love the way that they learn and think, and how different it is from adults. I studied Biology at Warren Wilson College in hopes of becoming a high school biology teacher. While at college, I did over one hundred hours of service tutoring and mentoring high school and middle school students in Buncombe County. Since graduating in 2009, I decided to take a break from school, and figure out where I wanted to go in life.
