Pre-Algebra Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Mountain Home, UT

My style of teaching/tutoring involves one on one and small group sessions. I feel we work from using the student’s strengths to build math vocabulary, math concepts, math relationships, developing math knowledge and algorithmic skills. I want the students to feel comfortable communicating using math to get help. I strongly believe that to understand math you have to put forth effort to try and do math. I want the learning environment to be relaxed and comfortable. Depending on what type of math and the concepts that need help different tutoring techniques will be used such as: building relationship, hands-on activities, and interactive virtual manipulatives. I have had experience tutoring and teaching Algebra I and II from a being a teacher. I feel very comfortable with all types of math. I have worked in small and large group environments to one-on-one.

I am a senior in high school. I have taken a range of different classes and I am able to help students understand what is being taught. I helped many of my friends get better grades so that can graduate with a better GPA. I have never really solo tutored anyone but I feel that I will be able to help in some sort of way. I have taken many science classes and I did very well in them. Also I did very well in English, social sciences, and history. I have also taken classes up through Accounting 4 and i am pretty good with business classes. I have helped in a Homework help lab and tutored kids having trouble in classes before so i have a little experience with helping students. I got A's or B's in all of my classes so I do know most of the material so i will be able to help students. Also I studied how to teach kids in ways that they will understand because most kids learn in differe

I was a tutor for math and science while attending college. My work consists of graphing, defining requirements through mathematics, statistical analysis, and many other technical services. I have worked as a ventilation engineer, an industrial hygienist, and am currently a manager for a consulting company. My math skills brought me to Washington, D.C. to present a statistical analysis to the National Mining Association for comments to a proposed regulation. I believe that stepping through any problem and trying to find a "hint" to help work through similar problems will contribute to a student succeeding.

Although I have my Biology Degree, my teaching experience in actually in Math. Loyola University required Math classes all the way through Calculus and I enjoyed that end of it so much that I started tutoring at McHenry County College Crystal Lake, IL. This worked into a math teaching position there. After moving to Utah, I continued to teach Math at Utah Valley State College, Wasatch Campus. I believe I have a great Pre-Algebra and Foundations of Algebra program. I've been told I make class a fun and relaxed learning environment. I am an expert at removing the "deer in headlights" looks on faces from the first day of class. I have a concise, step by step methodology that helps students learn more efficiently. I like to apply algebra skills to real life calculations (word problems, etc.) I start with the question, "What if there were no calculators, then what?". We start with the basics

Every child has a different learning style and it's the duty of the teacher to discover that way and pursue the methods that will help that child. Encouragement is the best teacher and confidence is the foundation of success. I know what helped me succeed as a young student and I believe I can provide that for students on a one on one basis. I know how to believe in kids and how to develop that belief in themselves. As a graduate and undergraduate student I taught multiple courses in both landscape design and architectural construction. I've proven myself as a high performer in Academia due to a strong work ethic where I graduated magna cum laude from Notre Dame. I had to decline an offer to pursue a PhD at the University of Cambridge in the UK due to a lack of funds.

From teaching and tutoring various children I have learned each child has a different understanding of the same subject. I have adapted to help each child I have worked with the achieve their individual understanding and success. Recently, I have helped tutor students in photography classes and I found many teachers push their own style onto the students. I have taken a determined stand against this type of teaching. Each student has a voice and I am willing to hear it. I have recently graduated from UNLV with a BA in fine art with minors in art history and criminal justice. I have taken classes in education and am pursuing a master's degree in art history so I can teach on the college level. I have taught and tutored many individuals in art, English, and math. I was on the math team in high school and have gone to nationals for Science Olympiad so I can also tutor in the science

My rigorous education has given me substantial insight into the "total package" needed to learn and succeed at a high level. The ability to learn material is critical, and I excel at teaching difficult concepts and skills to a range of different learning "types". However, the ability to organize, prioritize, and focus is equally critical to academic success, and my experience with a wide range of subjects from art and literature to science, social sciences, and business as well as a range of different personalities allows me to teach virtually any subject with a sympathetic understanding of how each individual's personality learns best. Some people learn well step-by-step, others learn better through self-experimentation. My familiarity with a range of learning styles allows me to find the best way to teach each individual. I was in the top 10% of my class at an elite college prepara
