A Little Bit About Me...

I am a recent graduate of the Master in Teaching program at The Evergreen State College. I am a certified teacher in Washington state, endorsed to teach reading, writing, math and science K-8.

As a high school teacher, I facilitated the instruction of approximately 100 students in Chemistry in accordance with Massachusetts Learning Standards. Developed and implemented course curriculum for the Forensic Science course, including labs featuring gun shot residue testing, urinalysis, and DNA electrophoresis . Supervised the after-school chemistry tutoring program for all high school students. Additionally, I served as a volunteer ESL tutor for one year.
I will be upfront, I was known as a firm, but fair, teacher. I see science as a field primarily learned through doing, and I enjoy performing science demonstrations with my students to help illustrate new concepts. At the same time, I expect students to attempt to solve problems on their own, as opposed to simply memorizing how I solve problems. While it is sometimes difficult at first, I find it gives them confidence to appr ... read more

I have a passion for chemistry, and I have used that passion to inspire and motivate youth to pursue and enjoy chemistry. I have earned a degree in chemistry, but I have extensive knowledge in Biology, Calculus, Algebra and Physics.
I alter my teaching curriculum and style to fit the student’s individual needs and learning requirements. I believe in making the subject fun and exciting! Teaching should be a partnership that involves lots of interaction.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a Social Worker I came in contact with young adults who have dropped out of school because of becoming young parents, drug use, and or a lack of support from parents. My initial contact was to address child abuse and or neglect but I quickly recognized the bigger picture included their inability to process information because of a lack of education. I started a parenting class to give them a safe place to start looking at these issues.
I teach so I can empower the individule to create a goal that can be attained. I have a stregth based approach, which gives the one I am teaching a positive outlook at what they can achieve. My focus is to empower the student to achieve their goals and to make the choice to further their education with enformed guidelines.

I have been professionally teaching for almost 30 years whether it be swimming to five year olds or flying to heads of aviation organizations. Few things give greater satisfaction than sharing what I have learned with others and watching them grow as they learn. A skilled, dedicated teacher, with a passion for the subject, can get anyone to learn, all the learner needs is a little desire. It is my job as a teacher/mentor to explore and grow that desire. I believe in a relaxed, but disciplined teaching environment of mutual respect between teacher and learner where both can learn from each other.
I have been a professional instructor pilot for 20 years teaching pilots from over 30 different countries in English and Spanish. I have a BS in Zoology, an MA in Information Management, and am working on an MS in Aeronautical Science. I have ten years grammar school, high school (AP) ... read more

I enjoy working with students who need to improve their reading and writing skills and basic mathematics skill, and need help building their skills. I believe anyone can learn anything they want, and that with the right help, motivation and encouragement, can achieve their education goals. I adapt my teaching approach to the learning style of the student I am working with. I work especially well with students who need calm, patient and encouraging assistance.
As a college student, I held a tutoring position on campus in the remedial learning lab, assisting college students with basic math,reading and language skills. I worked a halftime schedule there for 5 years and by my 4th and 5th years, I was teaching classes, in addition to tutoring privately and in small groups in the lab. This is work I thoroughly enjoyed. In my working career in healthcare, I again found myself in a teachi ... read more

Interactive--listening to and learning from student to determine "where they're at". Then, posing questions to enable them to find their own beginning/solution/answers. If session doesn't find a promising beginning, start from a base and progress with them. Interaction prevents or indicates "going too fast" or overwhelming them--"the eyes" are engaged or indicate "shut-down". Making the math or education "mean something" provides a reason for learning or further developing the concepts. Encouragement and sincere compliments are very important. Sharing your own struggles or an "ah-huh" moment helps ease the role differences toward a comfortable, encouraging, learning relationship.
I have tutored and educated staff to raise their knowledge and understanding in an effort to help them appreciate their role and the benefit of their effort toward the goals of the overall departm ... read more

I enjoy working with youth and take pride in assisting them with confidence building as well as real life applications for learning and adjusting. I realize and understand there are different learning styles and try to apply the best teaching style for the maximum benefit of the person I am assisting. My teaching pattern would be to explain the issue or subject, show the person I am assisting or tutoring how to complete it, have the person explain back to me how to complete the problem and finally to have them complete the problem alone. My goal is not only to have the youth complete the assignment but to learn how to complete the assignment alone and finally to apply it to real life application.
I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Political Science with a minor in Accounting. I graduated from the University of Houston with a 3.8 G.P.A. in my major. I have learned to apply ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I attended Foss H.S. in Tacoma and was awarded the International Baccalaureate diploma with the highest cumulative score in my class. I then attended the University of Chicago, where I earned a B.S. degree in Geology in 2006. I have a solid background in math, chemistry and physics as well as the liberal arts, and I have experience writing both for the sciences and the humanities. In high school I tutored ESL middle and elementary school students in reading, writing and math. In college I tutored underprivileged students in math and reading at a South Side grade school and spent several months as a teacher’s assistant in a Kindergarten class. Most recently, I tutored ESL students in algebra, geometry, general science and English.
As a tutor, I work through problems/passages with a student to determine weak points to address and to find ways for the student to connect with the ... read more

I hold an MAT (Master of Arts in Teaching) degree from the University of Puget Sound, am Washington State certified to teach secondary English/Language Arts, and am passionate about helping others to develop an appreciation of language in all its forms. I also have a background in history, Spanish, and creative writing, and feel that I am qualified to assist students of any ability level in these subjects. I have experience working with students of all ages in both supervisory and educational contexts, and am trained in numerous methods to help maximize student learning and success.
The cliche saying of "practice makes perfect" does not stray too far from the core of my teaching philosophy, however I do differ on a key point. I believe that practicing anything (whether or not it relates to academics) can only be done successfully if certain foundational skills are present; just ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Though my primary study has been of a religious nature, I am very skilled in the other subjects of a quality educational foundation, as well. I am especially gifted at math as I scored a 730 in math on my SAT's. In 2003 I worked at Cedarcrest High School in Duvall as Special Education Assistant tutoring students with ADD and ADHD. I have also taught in a private kindergarten in Taiwan. I have had many positive experiences mentoring high school and middle school students in faith based organizations. In recent years I have served as a mentor, guide, and teacher in non-profit settings primarily investing in young adults between 18 and 30. During this time I have also mentored high school interns in my non-profit leadership roles.
I love the learning process. My goal is to provide an environment for the student to grow to love the process of learning. I see myself as a guide ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have been tutoring as a volunteer and as a job for a combined 7 years now. I have worked in both one on one tutoring with a dyslexic student, tutoring in specialized topics, and group peer tutoring. My longest individual tutoring experience has been with Aidan, who is dyslexic and I have been working with for 4 years. We focus on taking the larger, more daunting tasks and breaking them into smaller sections. Because of his unique learning style, I have learned many creative ways to present the information at hand. I have experience tutoring a wide range of subjects such as high school and college level chemistry and biology, math, world and US history as well as English.
My teaching style involves being open and relatable while keeping he conversation related to learning and the subjects of importance. I feel like students respond best when they are in a positive work envi ... read more
