Aerospace Engineer with tutoring experience

I have mentored/ tutored elementary students in first Lego league competition while as college student. Additionally I worked as a tutor and grader for the U of I. I grading homework of fellow students, giving me good insight in where people often struggle. I also tutored technical courses for undergraduate students. These courses included, physics 1-3, intro Chem, linear algebra, calculus, electrical and aerospace engineering course. After graduating I began working as a full time engineer, but remain available to tutor for individuals.
I teach through examples and Q&A. I strongly encourage students to interrupt with questions as the occur. I have found through my own education, I am unable to focus or concentrate when thinking of another question. Often small benign questions can lead to larger answers or breakthroughs for students.

I first and foremost believe that every child can learn, and I refuse to entertain any idea that says otherwise. I have found that a constructivist approach works best for most children, and I will always try this approach first. I try to make learning as hands on and relevant to the real world as possible.
I graduated from one of the top teaching schools in the nation (according to NCATE), and have a degree in elementary and special education. I specialized in math education, but am also qualified to teach English, science, and social studies. I have worked with children as young as 2 years old and as old as 15 in a formal setting. I have helped children go from hating a subject to being successful and loving it.

There are times when we need someone else to show us our potential and the talents we have. I was blessed to have someone who showed me my abilities in relation to my character and became a tutor for peers and children younger than me starting at the age 11.Prior to graduating High School I completed Algebra 2/ Trig. I am currently seeking my Bachelor's in Information Technology, and will be beginning session to tutor for Mathematics in regards to the ACT. I have also tutored students seeking a GED.
Children are so important and shouldn't be overlooked or neglected. I have a heart for children, and that heart has grown larger now having three of my own. I believed we have to cultivate their minds with positive influences and make learning fun and interactive. I am understanding and patient;I also know that (from the experience with my oldest child) sometimes it takes a little one o ... read more

My idea of the perfect approach to teaching requires the teacher to inspire learning in addition to just relating the required facts. A certain amount of creativity, enthusiasm, and motivation is required of the teacher. I believe that the effective teacher recognizes and respects individuality, that every child is unique, and has his/her own unique ways and pace in learning. I have a strong conviction that all children can achieve their full potential if their individualism is respected and they are providing with a cooperative learning environment and homelike atmosphere.

I love hands-on learning, however some math topics don't always lend themselves to that. Geometry has always been my favorite topic to teach. I tend to be the traditional teacher in showing students how to do problems, but I try to make them understand the background. I bring in real life problems when I can.
I retired from teaching public schools in Alabama after 25 years in 1998. Since then I worked as a contract trainer for 2 student information system software companies. I currently teach at Calhoun Community College in Decatur, AL, ITT-Tech in Madison, AL, and Alabama A & M in Huntsville, AL. As you saw above, I have my Master's Degree in Math Education. I virtually have taught all my career life.
