ANY Concept can be understood!

I'm PhD physicist with more than 20 years of tutoring experience at all possible levels and with variety of students ranging from gifted kids of elementary school to PhD students of Wash Uni as well as active tutors themselves.<><><><> I'm really patient (even with my own kids!) and start with putting myself in my student's shoes. I'm using variety of tools to deliver knowledge: verbal, visual, graphical, math formulas, examples from everyday life! From my point of view there is no concept or problem which cannot be approached by anyone with any experience at least to some extent. Sure that might take some time and efforts but that's it. Sounds too weird? But I can tell you that there is a way to explain Big Bang or String Theory (some advanced theories in Physics) or Topology (Advanced Math) to elementary school students ... and I've done something similar or even got grant for thi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

The first 3-4 years of school lay the foundation for the rest of a child's academic career. Let me assist in helping your child build a strong foundation. I am a certified teacher with several years of elementary experience. When my daughter was born 2 years ago, I decided to take some time off to be a mommy. During that time I was the part-time Director of Education for SYLVAN LEARNING CENTER. I am experienced with providing assessments to determine the level your child is working at.I am also comfortable meeting with or speaking with your child's teacher so that we are consistent with the classroom expectations. *Sylvan Certified Instructor (I worked for Sylvan 8/010 - 10/12) *BA in Early Childhood Education *MA in Applied Educational Psychology/Early Child Development *Experience with designing learning plans & performing assessments to determine performance level *Will co ... read more

I am a listener first and foremost. I want to know what my students expect from me and in what areas s/he regard as most essential to her/his success. I believe all people can learn and understand. It is a pleasure to watch students grow in skill and comprehension and move toward confidence.
I love teaching. I earned my BA before I was old enough to vote. While my classmates were in his/her senior year, I was teaching. Eventually I earned my M.Ed. in Reading, then started School Administration and Adult Education. In all these fields I find similar necessary skills: patience, co-operation among staff and colleagues, knowledge of subject matter, communication with the community and parents and a well defined curriculum. Moreover, I am a published author and a former writer with St. Louis Globe Democrat - Suburban Journals. As a favor to my students, I often evaluate papers for subm ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My goal is to help children in any context that I can. Although I have my sights set on being a pediatric neurologist, my vision encompasses more than this end. I have worked with children from ages 3 to 16 starting from the time that I was a sophomore in high school to the present. I have served a diverse array of roles, such as summer camp counselor, patient care associate at St. Louis Children's Hospital, and a mathematics teacher at an inner city school in St. Louis. My goal is to help a child with whatever they need help with, whether it is social, academic, or personal, and I am ambitious to find more ways to help others by using my talents.
My experience, specifically within the past two years, has been extensive. During this time spent at Webster University I was hired by the Student Literacy Corps, a non-profit organization funded by the university for the purpose of educa ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I work diligently to ensure that I am very versatile when tutoring as I believe students learn differently. I am very polite and patient when assisting a student who is struggling in getting a concept. When applicable, I try to make learning a fun and enjoy applying learned material to the student’s life. I enjoy assisting students in reaching their goals, and feel all students can learn. I feel education is more important than ever and enjoy working closely with students by giving them personal support and encouragement to be successful in learning.
In addition to currently being a substitute teacher for the Missouri State Schools teaching a variety of subjects, I have tutored elementary students in all subjects for one year.

More About This Tutor...

I have 24 years of teaching experience in grades 7-12. These experiences have been at public and private school settings. The subjects I have taught include various levels of mathematics, physical science, American history, world history, Spanish and physical education. In addition, I have tutored students periodically during this time span, mostly in mathematics. I have also tutored adults on occasion.
As an educator, especially in mathematics, I want my students to not just arrive at the right answer, but understand the process, as well. I want students to have a solid foundation in number theory. I also want them to see the connection between the more elementary levels of mathematics and the more abstact higher levels. I usually spend some time and effort working on the organizational skills of the student, especially if I notice a weakness there. Many times the lack of those ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I believe education should be student centered. Learners need to develop their ability to think logically and creatively so they may enjoy the learning process. I give immediate feedback and positive reinforcements so that students are motivated to participate actively in their education. I use a variety of activities and materials to explain content. Students possess different learning styles and achievement can be accomplished if the learner understands the material. I lead students in activities that allow them to find the meaning in what they are learning. I set high expectations for my students and give them the resources and support they need to reach those goals. This enables the students to develop a positive self-perception.
I have earned a BSE from Missouri Baptist University in education and hold a valid Missouri Teaching Certificate. My training at Missouri Baptist Univ ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I like teaching students by explaining the material in a way I think is easiest to understand. I always emphasize how the material relates to what students already knows and how they can use what they know to solve problems. Often students cannot see how what they are learning can ever be useful in real life situations so I also try to give examples of when they might use what we are covering. Most importantly I am still a student myself I find I always learn better with examples so I always try to work through plenty of examples.
I am currently a graduate student at the University of Missouri. I am working on dual masters in economics and statistics and just finished year one of two.

For some children, some subjects are hard to understand. Children can get frustrated just by not being able to understand the subject matter. My approach is to alleviate that frustration by going through the steps slowly and demonstrating these steps several times. In addition, I allow students to go through the steps on their own with my assistance so that I can catch any mistakes that they make. I am patient, and I find creative ways for children to learn. For example, I might relate a math concept to some aspect in everyday life. I utilize tools that I learned in school that helped me learn things easier.
Throughout my education, I learned easy ways to teach myself concepts. I have a BS in Biology and a Master’s in Public Administration. These degrees as well as my research experience have taught me analytical and writing skills. I have taken Calculus I, Calculus II, Tri ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Since I have been coaching, I knew that I wanted to continue with passing on my knowledge to others. I believe that through teaching the passing of my knowledge can be most rewarding. Although I have worked with students in various fields and of various ages, I get the most satisfaction from watching a student succeed from diligent hard work and personal commitment to learning the task at hand. I feel that tutoring in a one-on-one setting best exemplifies this.
Throughout my college years, I was involved in coaching high school aged students in baseball as well as younger kids in a baseball camp. During my last year of college, I helped with a after school tutoring program that included students up to the sixth grade. All subjects were covered and tutoring was done in one-on-one as well as small group settings. My bachelor's degree is from a self designed major I had developed to b ... read more
