My comments on tutoring Pre-Algebra : How many students start to have real mathematics trouble here? The reason is poor teaching! Most middle and high school math teachers are good at MATH, not at TEACHING it. I am excellent at explaining inequalities, solving for one variable, functions and graphing, multiplying, adding, subtracting and dividing exponents.
Teaching middle school and high school science from 1983 to 2004, including every science subject listed in the TutorSelect list. I have worked as an educational consultant for national science laboratories, helping them train their scientists to work better in the school classrooms where they volunteer. I have worked for museums and for outdoor education programs, but have found the most satisfaction as a classroom teacher with all kinds of students. I have worked teaching teachers, but they were very difficult students.
Multiple ways of presenting material; musically, visually, building models, finding answers by testing a hypothesis; experimenting, measuring, observing, seeing, touching.
