College Algebra Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Madison, AL

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 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 am a very laid back person, but also very disciplined when it comes to my instruction. If there is not a certain level of comfort and respect between the student and teacher, no learning will take place. I care deeply about the success of my students and try to go above and beyond to show them that I am invested in them completely, not just in their math studeies. I have taught for a total of 15 years at Arab High School. I have taught the following in the classroom setting, but I have tutored for even longer in all subjects that I indicated.

As an adjunct faculty instructor at the University of North Alabama, I teach students in a public speaking course through a series of class lectures, individual and group activities, live performances, examinations, and out of class assignments. I work on skills such as audience and situational analysis, research, organization, delivery, body language, and listening. My goal is to make my students more at ease with public speaking by teaching them how to be successful at it in a variety of situations. My activities and assignments are meant to challenge their critical thinking skills while improving their performance skills and help me to offer more individualized instruction. While teaching 9th grade world history in Haleyville, I covered the time period from roughly 1500 to present. I taught them about the rise out of the “dark ages” and world exploration, the Renaissance and

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.

I believe that everyone should have some knowledge of the subject. So I take what little they know and incorporate into the things they don’t. My goal is to find the easiest way to teach the student and show several different ways of doing it. I want to make a difference in each student’s lives while not making learning difficult. As a college graduate, I learned the subject of mathematics. I was a math club member for 4 years. Also I have a BS in Mathematics and Economics. During the past 10 years I have been tutoring on my own at various locations.

As both salutitorian of my high school graduating class, and a Chancellor Scholar at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, I have the drive, determination, and know how to succeed on any academic playing field and compete with the best of the best. I have a BS in Elementary Education with an emphasis in music. After ten years of teaching experience, I consider myself an excellent candidate to tutor in many subjects, including but not limited to Reading, Writing, Mathematics, Music (both vocal and instrumental), and Music Theory. Being that I have spent the majority of my teaching career in a high needs environment, I can honestly say that I teach to the student. However a child best learns is the way in which I teach a subject. No child learns exactly the same, and as a highly qualified educator, it's my responsibility to discover the mode in which a student best learns.

As a versatile educator, I have had the opportunity to teach students who functioned below, on, and above grade level. I have been very successful at accommodating diverse student needs by facilitating all styles of learners, offering individual and extracurricular support, and integrating effective materials in the classroom. I encourage learning by using a number of different manipulative, hands on activities and various forms of technology. By incorporating class discussions, open-ended questions, and cooperative learning, I am able to facilitate student progress rapidly, locate areas of weakness, prepare students for exams, and ensure that students integrate knowledge gained from classroom into the real world.
