More About This Tutor...

I have a real passion for making learning as fun as possible. I also firmly believe that there isn't one approach to learning math that works for everyone. I pride myself on being able to identify how everyone best learns, and customizing an approach that fits each individual student's needs. This is why many people struggle in a traditional academic setting with math where teachers don't always have the luxury or the ability to meet each student's needs. I understand this, and I can definitely help.
I have a passion for teaching and helping others. While getting my law degree (more on that below), I tutored math at all levels (K thru College Algebra) at Huntington Learning Center in Jackson, MS. I built a strong reputation at the Center for working really well with students, finding the right approach for each student, and getting great results. Many parents scheduled their ... read more

Calculus and Probability

I have zero formal teaching experience. However, I do have a great love for the beauty of math and a great interest in helping others reach their mathematic potential. I have spent a great deal of time with Calculus and Probability with a focus on detail and problem solving during the course of my actuarial studies, and my algebra skills are incidentally very good.
Easygoing. Math is fun! I believe everyone has the ability to understand and apply math, or in other words, to be good at it. My general approach is to focus on the logical foundations of a given subject and then to exercise that knowledge on practical applications. Nearly everything you need to know is right there in your text! It just takes a careful and thorough reading of the material, much like any other subject.

I am a native Chinese speaker who has experience of tutoring Chinese for three years. I taught international students Chinese when I was in my college in China. Now I am a student in Vanderbilt university. I have some friends from America and other countries. They are interested in Chinese. I teach them for free every week. I love teaching Chinese. I believe that interest is the best teacher. I have lots of experience living and traveling in different cities in China. I will tell you stories of diverse aspects of China. You will have a great chance to know Chinese culture. That will help you form a high personal motivation of learning Chinese. Besides that, I love to practice Chinese with my student in different scenes. This will makes you impressive and helps you understand the usage of Chinese. What I said above is the way I usually use when I am teaching Chinese. But, I know every stu ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have always wanted to teach Math and have finally been able to take time off from full time work to obtain the required education to do so. I realize that many folks experience difficulty learning Math. In most cases, there are several ways to teach a particular concept. If one method does not click with a student, I will try another method until we find on that works. I also like to teach using practical examples that students may actually experience in their life to help students understand the value of learning math.
For the past 28 years, I have worked in Industry as an Electrical Engineer. I am currently pursuing a Master of Science degree in Mathematical Sciences with the goal of teaching college math, preferably at a Community College. I have experience teaching at the community college level and tutoring in High School Math. While working in industry, I taught many c ... read more

My teaching style varies with student learning styles. Although drill may be appropriate for some skills, my preference is project or problem based methods that draw on the learner's experiences and interests. I work from students' current skill levels, provide challenging problems, model successful learning skills, encourage students' to express creativity and intuition, and employ formative and normative assessments. I firmly believe that more advanced mathemtaics can be taught to younger and more diverse students. I believe that all students, of all skill levels, can learn mathemtaics if creatively taught.
I have spent over 30 years in business and financial consulting. My lifelong passion has been for mathematics and education. I have reached a point in my career where I can focus on giving back of my talents to students through mathematics education. I have minimal formal teac ... read more

I have and undergraduate in Physics and my MBA with an emphasis in Marketing. That together with 10 years experience in the Non-profit, Healthcare, Manufacturing and Pharmaceutical industries has given me the tools to understand different environments and how to approach different environments. My background has been in reporting, business and financial analysis and that taught me the mindset on how to dissect problems and construct solutions.
My teaching philosophy comes not only from experience in my past education but also from being a manager in the workplace. I believe that we have to create the perfect environment for teaching from the onset so students can apply those tools in life. I think the whole goal of school is to give you the tools so you do well and prosper in life. I think we tend to forget in this day and age and end up trying to repair poor habits later on i ... read more

I was at the ITT Nashville and Draughons College campuses for 9+ years and School Chair of the CAD/MM department at ITT for 3 of those years. I have taught multiple subjects during my tenure including almost all of the classes in GenEd and in math, physics, calculus. I am currently pursuing my Master's of Science at UTMartin in MSEd in Theory and Practice and finish next year. My 15+ years in engineering, B.S. in Physics, qualifies me. I have also tutored for Sylvan Learning, Wyzant, And Club Z over the last 5 years which gives me the advantage of knowing how to 1-on-1 tutor.
I wish to be part of the best in the field of Education and public service. I would like to pursue new and exciting positions in the educational field I introduced ALEX math based software modules and self-paced tutoring for all Quarter I and II students in mathematics, and supervised the Tutoring pool amo ... read more

I believe that each child has its own learning style, therefore as a tutor you must be able to adapt quickly to the specific needs to every child. I think that the most important thing in tutoring is gaining the attention and confidence that you know what you are doing and talking about. I also live by the belief that repetition is the father of learning.
While in college, I have worked with numerous tutoring programs both paid and volunteering. I worked for two years as a tutor mentor for the Upward Bound Program, where I managed a group of 12 college students that tutored and mentored 75 low-income and first generation students in grades 9-12. Also while in college, I have have had the opportunity to work closely with numerous Metro Public Schools around the Nashville area. Currently I am working with the Martha O'Bryan Center at a Reading Achievement Program Tutor.
