I was a senior scientist - engineer for 37 years. I retired to care for my comatose wife at home, and she died a few months later. This situation has left me open to new directions. My teaching experience has been 3 years as a graduate teaching assistant, and 2 years as a tutor to friends and family in science and mathematics. My goal is to show how math and science can enrich one's life and these subjects are nothing to fear. I follow the method of G. Polya in his classic work "How to Solve It". By asking the right questions, one can help the student define his problem, form a plan for the solution, carry out the plan, and examine the result. I also try to work as many difficult problems from the student's text as time permits, in order to show that all problems have a solution, and the student can build confidence in attacking any problem. I try to present the material in as man

My educational intetests lead me to complete a wide range of subject-disciplines in Mathematics. At the South Puget Sound Community College Math Center, in an open classroom setting, I tutored up to ten students an hour. I also tutored privately for several years around that time, and in March of this year began tutoring again. I'm an expert tutor in the following subjects: elementary math, pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, and SAT prep. I'm also experienced with elementary education, grammar, reading, sentence structute, punctuation, etc. As a tutor, my goals are to teach students to be independent and to build confidence and moral. I develop individual lesson plans to accommodate different learning styles, monitor student progress, and help improve grade level. I'm also accustomed to working with students with learning difficulties. I attempt to answer questions and explain concepts

I believe it is as important of learning subject as the learning skill. So I not only teach students the subject, but also teach them study skills. I love to use multimedia and all kinds of resources to create a fun learning experience for students. I tailor my classes differently based on different student's learning styles. I am patient and detail oriented. I provide students first-class tutoring service based on their individual needs. Graduated with a master's degree, I have been teaching for 5 years. I believe in education and I have a passion for teaching. I have expertise in the following three fields: the first is Mathematics. I teach SAT math, GRE math, GMAT math, college algebra, geometry, trigonometry and some statistics. I am good at both in class teaching and software assisted online learning. Second, since my native language is Chinese, I teach Chinese language. I teach Chi

As an educator, I strive to discern the individual needs of each student and tailor my approach accordingly. I use my communication skills and extensive experience to explain concepts in such a way that each student can understand. Building confidence is my strong suit, and kids sense that I really care about them. I'm patient, compassionate and have a sense of humor. I firmly believe that every student can learn, and I have a track record to prove that. I began teaching remedial math and English skills to college age students/returning Vietnam vets in Colorado in the 1970's. Since that time, I have tutored kids of all ages in those same skills. Knowing first hand how difficult it is to "re-learn" basic skills, I have a great passion to help kids learn correctly at the beginning. I worked as a free-lance tutor and volunteer ESL instructor from 1995 to 2005 From 2005 to 2010, I

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 believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. A few good educators can make a world of difference in a child's education. I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives. As one of the top graduate, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I have earned bachelor degrees maths, Physics, Accounting, and French. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers and l

I've been teaching most of my life, first as a rank one student to my classmates and friends and later as a physics and math instructor. I enjoy showing the easy ways to go through complicated looking problems and concepts to my students and I like to witness their academic accomplishments which build the confident to be successful in life as well. As a mom, I've learned to be patient and easy going. As a teacher, I try to find the best approach for individual students. Some of them need more guided practice and examples, while some benefit from independent work. My pace and level of difficulty in teaching will be determined by the student background and potential and it usually goes from slow/easy to harder/faster.

I have recently completed a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering with an additional major in Mathematics. I have a solid understanding of different math subjects, including algebra and calculus. During the last three years, I have tutored students at my college in algebra, trigonometry, pre-calculus and calculus. Thus, I have had experience in working one-on-one with students and keeping track of their progress. I enjoy tutoring and working with students in the academic environment. I believe students can learn and do well as long as they are taught in the correct ways. I am a very patient, supporting and outgoing person. With my tutoring experience, I am able to explain and break down the difficult concepts to the most basic level. I understand that students have various learning styles. However, I believe to improve their learning skills, all students should frequently review

I enjoy tutoring students of all ages. When a student reaches the moment of understanding and a smile comes across his or her face, my heart is filled with a certain level of satisfaction that is indescribable. My hope is to facilitate this process of understanding the best that I can. Thus, my teaching style is relatively lax and often humorous in nature in order to mitigate any intimidation that may accompany learning. I try different approaches to explain a concept, often referring to common everyday examples to simplify more technical ideas. I understand that not every student learns in the same manner or at the same rate, so I will cater my teaching style to the individual student. As a pre-dental student from Seattle University, I have created my own goals for a successful education. I am on track for earning two degrees, a BS in Mathematics and a BS in General Science. My g

Qualified, trained, and certified chemistry teacher; good communication skills; ability to work with secondary and post-secondary students; eager for immediate employment in a secondary school. have enjoyed teaching ever since I was a doing my bachelors degree for a private institute at allahabad, India (this involved working with more than 50 students and guiding other lab assistants also). It was extremely rewarding to see that students could be motivated to learn and understand material for which they initially had little interest. This is my favorite quotation because it expresses what, in my opinion, is the essence of science -- it is beautiful and poetic in its own right. The statement applies particularly well to chemistry, since there are so many everyday applications of this "central" science. In these few words, Spencer eloquently sums up the role of chemistry as a scientific

As a graduate from college with a degree in geology, I am familiar with challenges that students may face in succeeding in school. The process of college taught me many learning skills that ultimately helped me succeed. During college and high school, I took many math and science classes, however, I have also taking several writing classes, and completed a senior thesis, which greatly improved my writing. Since high school I have been involved with several tutoring opportunities, including tutoring elementary level math, as well as, volunteering with environmental education organization. Through out my academic career I have faced many challenges, and many times have had to turn to tutors and peers for help, as a result I am familiar with the dilemmas children can face. Through my experience with children, I believe that all children find success if the material is presented in a manner

I believe that every student can learn, given the right approach. Sometimes the "right approach" requires explaining the concept in several different ways, or includes a more interactive process with experimentation or discussion. I try to work with each student to find the correct approach. In addition, I believe that one of the most important parts of tutoring is giving the student confidence in their own abilities, and I try to provide as much encouragement as possible. I graduated in May 2009 with a BS in Engineering from Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering, a prestigious technical school in Needham, Massachusetts. Aside from my engineering coursework, I completed an arts and humanities concentration and capstone in Political Science, focusing on third world development and ethno-political conflict.

While completing my BS in engineering, I spent two years tutoring math, physics, and optics. During my senior year I was also able to teach a portion of two terms of the freshman optics class. During the last four years I have worked as an aerospace engineer, and as a private contractor. Although these weren't teaching positions, I believe that these experiences have given me unique opportunities to share my knowledge and will be helpful to me in the future for teaching and tutoring. What strikes me most as I look back at my education is how much of an impact a teacher can have when they make their subject relevant to their students. When I am teaching I try to find out what motivates each student as a person, in addition to what is motivating them to take the class. My goal is to find a way to present the material in such a way that the experience of learning is a journey of meanin

I believe that an empowered student can accomplish anything with proper guidance. By building their confidence in the subject matter and ensuring that their study time is constructive, I can help set students up for success come test day. When tutoring, I always meet the student where they are, take as much time to go over concepts as they need, and work creatively to share information in a way that is appropriate to each student's individual learning style. I have experience working with students from extremely diverse backgrounds (ESL, gifted, learning "disabled," etc.), and am confident that I can provide any student with the skills they need to pass their math and science classes with flying colors. As a future medical student, I have completed extensive coursework in math and the sciences. With a Bachelor's degree in nutrition, I have a firm grasp on biology, chemistry, anatomy,
