I am often described as laid back. I focus on the key components of learning and students are surprised when they understand more than they thought that they did. With music, I enjoy beginners equally as well as more accomplished students. I also enjoy a good joke now and then. In public schools, I have taught all grades 7-12. I have taught high school physics, high school chemistry, high school biology, 7th grade science. I received a minor in chemistry that required me to also take the calculus series in high school. I have also taken some higher levels of math in college such as Differential Equations. I have also taught all levels of band from beginners to high school. I perform in two different groups. I enjoy playing jazz the most. I have a background in psychology that qualifies me to function as a counselor in public schools.

I am a life-long learner, both academically and professionally with a diverse professional experience. I have an MS degree in Public Health and a BA in Biology. I have professional experience as a cell biology lab technician, sales representative, medical science liaison, product manager, and as an adjunct faculty member at a local community college where I taught biology, microbiology, botany, and human anatomy laboratory courses. I come from a family of teachers. My first teaching job was as a ski instructor when I was 15 years old. I learned very early in my teaching career that the most important element to learning was infecting my pupils with joy of learning and the power of that knowledge - which is my primary teaching style. I also learned that hard work is often the difference between success and failure. Students seeking additional instruction by way of a tutor are properly

I've enjoyed working with children, a native American, and adults. Some can learn more than what is required and I have raised the bar. To prepare myself, I would review as necessary. I pay close attention to what is going on in the mind of the student and on student's paper, working on my paper in parallel, and making student corrections promptly. I like to give motivation and discuss, give insights and examples from my experience, and suggest better ways to solve a problem. I believe learning is an organic process involving physical changes to the brain. This requires work: memorizing definitions and formulas, understanding the use and meaning of formulas, practicing on paper and verbalization, and periodic practise for retention. I studied high school math at my own rate as suggested by a math teacher. Math was cool. Found my mothers high school algebra book and worked all problems

I believe that children are born smart. Some of them have special learning challenges and some have been taught to believe that they are not smart. By treating children as though they are intelligent and providing encouragement and learning opportunities, I have seen children grow and progress in almost astonishing ways. The sparkle in a child's eyes when they finally "get it" is the best paycheck. After finishing my Masters Degree in Education I taught one year in a private school then opened my own business tutoring primarily homeschool students during the school year. The students I have worked with are primarily ages 11-18, but my experience with my own children includes the primary grades. I have tutored most subjects including reading, writing, science, history and math (through algebra).

My tutoring style is based on three principles: patience, excitement for the subject and alternative explanations. Through my tutoring experience and having children of my own I have been able to develop the patience to allow students to work through problems and gain their own understanding even when the process is lengthy. I enjoy math and the physical sciences and believe that bringing that excitement to the tutoring situation helps to motivate the student and give them the energy to succeed. Over many years and experiences I have gathered an assortment of alternative approaches for many of the more difficult concepts. I have found that presenting the same material in a different way can facilitate understanding tremendously. During my undergraduate education at the University of Utah I worked for Upward Bound and for Student Services as a tutor for both High School and College S

By day I work as a process engineer in a manufacturing facility. I love my job and the unique problems I get to solve every day. I also love teaching and have previously worked at tutoring centers tutoring high school students in math, science and ACT test prep. I love math and science and I love sharing them with students. Because I have spent time at commercial tutoring centers, I know how to identify what type of learner your student is and what tools I can use to help them understand the abstract concepts math and science utilize. I also have the ability to tutor 2-3 students at a time in different subjects so feel free to ask about tutoring for multiple students in one session. I understand my role as a tutor is not just to get the student's homework done, it's to make sure your student knows the concepts and can perform when it's test time. They will not just improve their

My approach to tutoring is patience, demonstration, and repetition. We identify the question, then work together to find a similar problem,and its solution. The goal throughout all of this is to help them learn to solve problems for themselves, and not hate it. Repetition is the key, along with patience and encouragement Summary of Experience for Mathematics Tutoring I tutored Algebra and Problem Solving at the college level for a little over 4 years. All of my students passed their courses with a C, or better. I enabled them to understand mathematics, without their original anxieties. I love mathematics, and probably some of my passion for it became beneficial to them. I also taught algebra to my 5th grade daughter, so I can definitely work with younger students. I like the one-on-one approach to teaching, so the course can be customized to accommodate each individual’s

I enjoy the challenge of teaching, I love enriching the lives of both children and adults. My experience has taught me that each person learns in his own way. I am patient, understanding and willing to implement a varity of approaches to learning to find how your child learns to provide the best opportunity for academic success. It is my goal to open up the world for the student so that they not only understand the “how?” to learning but the "Why?" And the way learning a subject can enrich their lives regardless of their cultural background, nationality or belief system. The bachelor degree that I earned in Business Management required a substantial academic effort on my part. Writing the essays, business evaluations and case studies was at times overwhelming to me but I was able to complete them in a satisfactory manner. The fact it was difficult helps me to project myself into the vari
