College Algebra Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Oakland, IA

I have experience working with students who are advanced and seeking supplementary tutoring as well as with students who are having difficulty with a subject. I have tutored mathematics as well as chemistry, biology, physics, and other subjects. I have tutored students from a range of ages and I worked with my first student over four years ago while I was in college. I try to work with students to find connections between different aspects of the material that we're working on as well as to find connections to other subjects. I find that by relating specific topics to broader perspectives on a subject as well as related subjects, the student can gain a greater appreciation for the coherence and importance of a particular subject area.

Dear Student, Hi. I am a math & statistics tutor and have been tutoring these two and other subjects for last 20 years. I did masters in Math from Lucknow University India in 1983 and then again another Masters from Canada ( University of Western Ontario ) in Statistics 1n 1989. I had physics, chemistry as minor subjects during undergrad. I have always been an A+ student and also was recommended for Gold Medal in Canada when I was doing Masters. During 1989-90 I also taught several undergraduate math & stats class as a sub when my professors were on leave. I also tutored math & statistics other college students when I was studying at University of Western Ontario. In 1991, I started working as a statistician at Addiction Research Foundation in Toronto. I worked there for 10 years and during that time I continuously tutored University of Toronto Students. We moved to Om

Hands-on and visual I tutored at Northeast Community College in Norfolk for 4 years. I tutor math, basic electricity, and AutoCAD. I was asked by my instructors to be a tutor, it's not something you can just ask to do. I was on the presidents list my last semester in May of 2015. I got a certification for tutoring by taking an online class for a couple nights.

I led Supplemental Instruction for College Algebra at The University of South Dakota for 1-1/2 year, providing group study sessions, homework help, extra tips, and additional instruction as necessary. I consider Algebra to be my specialty among all math subjects. My career path has winded around quite a bit but always focuses on computer science and math education. My education experience has included tutoring freelance, tutoring on USD's payroll, leading group study sessions, providing supplemental instruction for university coursework, leading workshops at a computer camp, writing workshops for that camp, and ultimately teaching math full time in a high school. My computer science field experience includes several part-time jobs, freelance web development, personal projects, an internship with NASA, and ultimately working full time as a Web developer. I prefer personal and small group

I am a very dedicated and determined person and I expect those that I work with to be willing and determined to put forth effort. Besides that my teaching style depends on the styles of those I am working with since different people have different learning styles and it is necessary for me to adjust my style in order to help each and everyone succeed. I believe that everyone has an immense learning capacity if we, as teachers, can help them tap into that. I also believe in showing how the subjects taught can be useful in life and not just for a class that one has to take, as well as, showing the connections between that class and the other subject areas. I am a recent graduate from a liberal arts college which has allowed me the opportunity to be immersed in a variety of subjects. I graduated with a BA in Honors Mathematics and a BA in Physics and am going to continue my education to

I am a holder of bachelors degree in Physics who has considerable command over Mathematics and Chemistry. I have had the opportunity of teaching and tutoring these subjects for over ten years. I am also a self styled piano and organ and organ musician with proficiency in the rudiments and theory of music. I have also tutored this subject for a few years. I have also functioned as a Church organist for several years I am currently pursuing my graduate degree in Atmospheric Science. I have been exposed to standard research experience and methodology through my association to senior scientists as a research assistant.e I have a quick and unique approach to teaching to adequately cater for students of all levels of understanding. I enjoy teaching with examples, visualizing and sometimes using fun games. I also adopt a way of getting students interested in the subject matter bas

I am a very laid back, easy going person. My teaching style typically incorporates both written and visual so there is something for all types of learners. The student has the answers, I merely guide or tweak those answers to get the correct expressions. There is always a way to explain a concept to get the underlying comprehension for everyone. I have extensive knowledge in the Sciences with six years of biology classes behind me. I have also tutored fellow students in Biology and Chemistry while earning my bachelor's degree. From there, I taught Biology labs (General Zoology, Marine Vertebrates) while earning my master's degree. And now, I am a college Anatomy & Physiology professor.

I received my Bachelor's degree in Education, Math Grades 8-12 at Baylor University. Through Baylor’s program I tutored Fall ‘03, Spring ‘04, and Summer ‘04. During the ‘04-‘05 school year, I was a Teaching Associate in a local school. I observed, tutored, co-taught, and taught one period of Geometry that year. For the ‘05-‘06 school year, I worked as an Intern in a local school. I taught, tutored, and co-taught all levels of geometry, Algebra 2 Honors, and Pre-Calculus. I went on to get my MS in Statistics from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in December ‘09. Upon graduating, I took an Adjunct Math Instructor position at ITT-Technical Institute in Omaha in June ‘10. I believe that everybody can learn and comprehend math. Math is an intimidating subject for most people, so my goal as a teacher is to show my students that it is more like a puzzle. With all puzzles, you just need to kn

Practice, practice, practice. Math is not learned by watching, it is learned by doing. Some types of problems can be learned after only a few examples, others take much more time and patience. My role as a tutor is help guide students through a problem while doing as little of the actual calculations as possible. I try to make my students see that many problems, while different in appearance, are actually the same as ones they've already solved before. I always strive to get that "ah ha!" moment from my students, where they understand not only how to do a problem, but why we used that method to solve it in the first place. Ever since I was young, I have always found joy in mathematics. Number puzzles, real life applications, and the teaching of math are all fascinating and enjoyable to me. I studied mathematics and economics in college so I could work on more advanced quantitative

I love children and have gained lots of experience helping my mother who is a teacher. I am always positive and believe this helps students learn the best. Given this positive atmosphere, students can achieve their potential. I am a Biology/Chemistry tutor at my school. In high school, I also tutored students in math and science. I did well the MCAT, so I have tutored students in those areas.

Even though I have never taught as a certified teacher, my teaching style has been a preeminent tool which had braced my tutoring skills. Indeed, my teaching methodology encompasses ineffable patience, great serenity, exceptional aptitude to break down complex concepts into their infinitesimal aspects and ability to choose a solution pattern that best suits the student taking into account a rigorous implementation of international rules upon which academicians have concurred. Not only do I believe there is no standard teaching style compatible with every tutee, but I strongly claim an efficient teaching style should be contingent upon the major needs of the student as well. Furthermore, I firmly contend students learn best when theories are related to real-world problems. My ultimate aim is to awaken the latent genius inherent in every student as to redeem his or her academic performance

I graduated with my Bachelor of Science in Chemistry in 2008 and am now almost done with my Master's in Biomedical Sciences. I was a laboratory teaching assistant for two years and a math tutor in the Creighton University Math Department for 2 years. I also did some private math tutoring for the undergraduates in Calculus I as well. I am easygoing, but enjoy challenging my students to do well. I always try to be prepared and make sure that I am familiar with the material before any tutoring sessions. I am not concerned with time and feel that if it does take longer than the hour assigned to completely help the student understand the material, then I am more than willing to put in extra time to help them.

“Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel”. This metaphor best represents my perspective on education. The purpose of education is more than merely teaching the necessary curriculum but to further give children a desire to learn and to teach them how to develop their own minds. Education should nurture the inquisitiveness and curiosity in individuals and should help to prepare them for real life experiences. Overall, I am very easy going and fun to be around. I love to find any and all ways to make learning enjoyable. I am very passionate about teaching and helping young minds grow! I currently hold a Bachelor's degree in Healthcare Administration, and I will have a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education with an endorsement in Early Childhood come May 2011. During my first degree, I tutored many kids at the Elementary level that was set up through the Uni
