I help guide the student along, having them discover much of the information in a trial and error fashion. I tend to use the questions they are struggling with the most, making similar examples, then walking them through these problems and breaking down the problems until the student understands the how the process works. I have been tutoring for over seven years, starting with my peers in tenth grade. I have tutored a wide range of subjects, from Geometry through Calculus III, from general computer knowledge through utilizing the advanced functions of Microsoft Access. I have tutored people ranging from my peers to people three times my age, to as young as third graders. My motto has evolved into "Helping those who feel they can not be helped"

I am a graduate of Appalachian State University and have earned a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. Through years of hard work and striving to achieve a high level of excellance, I have found that teaching and education is a long time passion of mine and look forward to many years of growing. Math and Science have always been my strong suit in life but also had a love for Psychology in college. I have tutored children from K-12 and have enjoyed every bit of it. As of recently have worked with children K-2. I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am available to help your child find academic success. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to learning. I b

For 34 years I have taught almost every science, but my focus for the last 28 years has been chemistry - both high school and college courses. Since 1993 I have served as an AP Reader and a College Board Consultant, grading the AP Chemistry Exams and teaching teachers how to establish their AP program. Over 94% of my AP students have earned a "3" or better, with over 50% scoring a "5". By teaching teachers, I have a better understanding of what goes wrong in some classrooms, so I am able to help students bypass those barriers. While my focus in my classroom is the "lab experience", I make certain that students are competent problem-solvers. I have been tutoring extensively so I believe that I can get the maximum performance from my "tutorees". I bring my passion for teaching to both my classroom and to my tutoring sessions. Different students come with different needs, so I listen first

About my role as a teacher, I think that the main principle should be “teaching for understanding”. A teacher creates learning opportunities that engage students in thinking about important mathematical concepts. Facts and skills support such learning but are not the ultimate goal. A teacher not only draws on past knowledge of mathematics but continuously builds on and refines that knowledge during meaningful interactions with students and colleagues. Thus, her or his practice as a teacher is constantly evolving PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE River City High School, Sacramento CA Algebra teacher 08/08/2005-12/18/2005 Teacher Assistant Math department UCDavis 09/30/2003 – 08/05/2005 TA for classes Calculus 16A, 16B, 16C and 21A, 21B, 21C (groups and individual consultations)

I have earned a PhD in Chemical Engineering and completed 20 hours toward a MA in Teaching. In response to a desperate need for math teachers in urban schools, I completed an alternative certification program offered through Chicago Public Schools and National Louis University while teaching high school math. Through my education I have gained an extensive knowledge of Math, Chemistry and Physics and advanced Engineering concepts. I have also been trained in SAT and ACT test preparation, so I am very familiar with grammar, reading comprehension and strong essay writing techniques. Over the last 15 years, I have tutored students ranging from Jr. High through college in all these areas. Society continues to foster the traditional belief that success in math and science is inherent, only to be grasped by those born with a particular talent level.

I love to teach children. They learn in different way. Some of them can not concentrate in a class room, while some learn very fast. I am willing to help both groups. My goal is to provide the best education. I believe in teaching through discovery and in providing constructive approach to learning. The children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate learning experiences. I want to make a difference in all my students' lives. My favorite subject in the school was Mathematics. This why I studied Mathematics in Sofia University (Bulgaria). After graduation I started to work as a math teacher in High school, then in Middle school for a total of 23 years (Bulgaria). All these years I have worked enjoying my job. For many years I conducted lessons with small groups of students who studied facultative Mathematics. When we came in USA I started to study English and read and

Through my experience working with students, especially as a substitute teacher, I have learned that each student has unique and individual learning needs. Some students are able to retain and comprehend information when presented orally; others are visual learners, while some students work better by learning through example. My goal is to discover what learning style best meets the needs of each student and then utilize the appropriate techniques to reach the highest possible success rate. I am a patient teacher who understands the importance of consistency while remaining flexible. I also understand how frustrating learning can be to struggling students and try to make learning fun and applicable to everyday life. Students need to know that others believe in their success in order for them to achieve success. Graduating from a liberal arts college, I had the benefit of studying various

My method of teaching varies with the subject. A spanish tutor and a chemistry tutor can go about things quite differently. I like leading students to find answers on their own so that they understand the paths they are taking. That method is especially helpful in hard sciences and math. In the liberal arts (poli-sci, literature, religion, philosophy, etc.) I like to work in the Socratic method. I'll challenge the students on topics and concepts with questions that need some thought. I want them to discuss issues with me, and that allows me to help expand their understanding and discover weak points in their knowledge. Since high school I've been working with my peers to help clarify subject matter, as that was my favorite method of study. In college I tutored under-classmen in Spanish, chemistry, and political science. Since graduating, I've worked with college freshmen as a writing tu

I believe it is essential to help build a child’s self-esteem for learning in order for them to achieve academic success. As an experienced educator, I have the ability to recognize strengths and areas of growth needed in all learners. I teach my students how to set personal and academic goals. It is important to me to adapt various teaching styles and methods in order to meet the needs of my students. With this positive and goal-oriented approach I am able to create successful and joyful learners. My passion is teaching. I have a Masters in Education, M.Ed with a Specialization in Curriculum and Instruction. I double majored in Education and Cognitive Studies at Vanderbilt University.

A management person with the world's largest transportation company presents many daily challenges, not the least of which is motivating and training an employee staff of as many as 90 employees. During my fourteen years at UPS, I've conducted many workshops, conducted one-on-one training, mentored/developed junior managers, developed training agendas. I've also spent time working with children of all ages as a coach on the baseball & football fields, volunteered for Junior Achievement-a program that connects business leaders with public education classrooms, managed adult sports teams, and been a youth group leader in church. Last but not least, I was an NCO in the Marine Corps. Personality plays a big part in the teaching process. It is important for the teacher to remain positive and encouraging.
