I work best with individuals who are self-motivated and determined to succeed. I am the kind of teacher who responds to questions with questions. I understand that a lot of students are just looking for a sufficient answer, but this will not help them understand the material when they are required to take an exam. I am a firm believer in teaching through example as it is the most efficient way to learn the mathematical sciences. Those professors who had the most profound impact on my academic career were always willing to show me various strategies to arrive at the same answer. Therefore, I strive to teach the methods of problem solving as they have widespread application in all of science. As a former academic scholarship student at Western Kentucky University, I have a keen understanding of what it takes to succeed at the highest level even under immense stress.

As a Purdue graduate, I was the recipient of the highest level of instruction in math and science. As an undergraduate I was named on the Dean’s list six times and was inducted into the Phi Eta Sigma Honor Society. I have earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Aeronautical Engineering. In order to be granted this degree I was required to gain a great understanding in many areas of math and science. In addition, I have been on the cutting edge of computer science from the first hand held calculators. I can program in FORTRAN, Assembly, Basic, Pascal, and C languages, on a variety of platforms. After working as an engineer for 20 years, I then pursued a teaching license and have taught High School math for the last decade. I enjoy teaching and working with all children. Not all of us can be the “Star Athlete”, but we can all learn the rules of the game. All children can learn.

With experience and training in psychology and evaluation, I bring a unique approach to working with each child as an individual, quickly assessing learning style, making the most of strengths while coaxing the gradual improvement of what is more challenging. One thing I've learned is that all of us love doing what we are good at and success breeds more success so working with that success, tapping into your child's perception of self as learning, productive, and accomplishing whatever goals they set for themselves. Success breeds success and a good teacher creates an environment that begins at a nexus of challenge sufficient to excite and entertain while also possible. I believe that positive reinforcement is effective and discouragement can be avoided. My experiences are extensive both academically and in real world applications which serve to bring what students learn and study to lif

I always enjoy having fun. I enjoy helping others understand things and have the communication abilities to be a great teacher. I enjoy working one-on-one with individuals and am very trustworthy. I am involved largely in church at home and in Ames and will work diligently and appropriately to ensure my teaching is effective. Like I said, I am pretty laid back, easy going, but also really enjoy helping others in a casual and fun environment. I started my college career pursuing architecture because I enjoy drawing and design. Realizing buildings weren't my passion and agriculture was where I wanted to go, I changed to a triple major in ag systems technology, ag business, and economics. Realizing I have always been good in math and enjoyed being challenged, I changed my major again to agricultural engineering where I acquired a degree in December of 2008. I have tutored a

Great Question. I have been in classes where I found learning a challenge. This is what makes me unique as a teacher. I build a relationship with the student. I do my best to not only explain the material, but how they can possibly use it in the future. I also have the best patience. I will go over something over and over again, searching in my own mind for a different to present the material so it sticks. I have always been a good teacher. I scored very well on the SAT exams, and I have extensive tutoring experience. I scored in the upper 10 percentile on the Mathmatics portion of the SATs. I also have been studying non stop for the CPA exam. I would love to pass on knowledge to someone else. Tutoring is rewarding.

I try as hard as possible to interest and engage the student in science by finding good learning opportunities in the lab, in the field and in the daily news. I am convinced that the natural world is a wonderful place that should be interesting to anyone. Once the student can find something of interest out there,we can use that as an entrance to other aspects of the science. As a student at MIT I earned my BS and MS degrees simultaneously in a five-year period. I worked primarily in the oil industry with major geological responsibilities on the Alaska North Slope and the North Sea. I have published over 50 technical articles and papers in my field. After my oil industry work I taught high school physical science in Kentucky for 10 years, including earth and space science, physics, and chemistry. I founded and coached the Berea Community High School Academic Team, to district and reg

During my undergrad I spent a year in Peru, South America learning and studying Spanish. When I returned from Peru, I completed a Bachelor's Degree in Religious Studies with a minor in Spanish. At present I am completing a Master's Degree at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. I currently work at Huntington Learning Center tutoring elementary and middle-schoolers in math and verbal skills and help high school students prepare for the ACT. I also teach pre-K students Latin at Prospect Latin School. I also currently tutor a 9th grader attending DeSales Catholic High School, assisting him with study skills, math, science, literature, and history. One of the greatest joys in my life in teaching. Previous teachers influenced my life immensely and likewise, I want to influence the next generation. I have a passion for reading and books, and I want to pass along that passion for others. I te

I received my Bachelors Degree in Economics and History with a grade point average of 3.3. Upon graduation, i worked for the West African Examinations Council (WAEC)as subject officer in Economics, History and Social Studies. WAEC is the equivalent of SAT or College Board in the U.S. My responsibilities included:networking with academics in developing curriculum, developing test items, scoring keys and marking schemes in the above subjects. My academic and professional development have provided me with the requisite skills to tutor high school students for two years in preparation for their High School Diploma examination. My teaching style is one based on interractive discussion. I like to learn first what the students know and what their difficulties are, then try to teach through group interraction. I provide one-to-one coaching to students who learn faster by such means. I am passion

My style of teaching is very involved in the students' success. I make every attempt to relate to them and work through any difficulties they may run into in the learning process. I also try to acknowledge accomplishments and communicate with them the level of pride I feel at their successes. I have a strong background in math and science, which I have used to be what I consider to be an effective teacher and tutor for the last ten years. I enjoy teaching and feel a great deal of responsibility for my students and their success.
