ACT Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Organ, NM

I absolutely love teaching and especially enjoy working with upper level students, although I love working with children as well. I believe every student has been given unique gifts and talents, but needs others to help them discover those abilities. As a teacher, I don't expect all my students to be "math geniuses" because their talents may be in a different field, but I do expect all my students to excel in what they do and give their all. I encourage my students to make every effort to do their best because they CAN succeed at whatever they put their minds to. My goal as an educator is to instill confidence in every student and guide them to academic success so they can carry that confidence into all areas of life. I am very passionate about educating others and have used my two Education degrees (Bachelor’s and Master’s) to work with students of all levels, especially in math. In my

I have good analytical and diagnostic skills. I am able to take students at their present levels of cognitive ability and help them to progress and also reinforce concepts that the students might have missed and need to master for complete understanding. I am patient and encourage students to ask questions and offer suggestions. I firmly believe that teaching basic skills and study habits will create successful lifelong learners. I have always loved teaching. I never had a desire to divert from teaching and become a counselor or an administrator. I have taught students from kindergarten to community college. I do not have a certification in math but I have taught k-8 math in special education classes and in mainstream classes through inclusion. I am familiar with many hands-on techniques and with drawing and writing explanations of the operation that was practiced. I have taught m

My teaching style is aligned to the Congnitive theory of Learning, in which I attempt to apply all of the following: 1. A review and connection to previously learned material and to material across disciplines 2. Presentation of material using language and ideas corresponding the appropriate age group 3. A build-up approach where the material is introduced in a sequential manner "building on previous material". 4. Use of a veriety visual, auditive and kinesthetic media to present material all learner types, plus a varied approach to reach students withe different learning abilities 5. Use of technology (computers, the internet and games) to reach students As an Engineer with 7 years of experience I have achieved excellent technical skills, which I have used when teaching Math and Science. I have tutored for 3 SES providers, including at-risk schools, where I gained experien

Although I listed only 2 years of prior instruction, I have taught over 5 years of business/finance related material. On a school level basis, I personally have a child with ADHD that I tutor at home. I am especially proficient in English/Language Arts. My research and writing skills are exceptionally keen due to the number of research papers and job related inquiries I perform. My current job involves auditing of financial records, therefore I am exceptionally precise and would not object to tutoring in elementary math. I have tutored family members in English, science, mathematics, and history. My teaching style is very flexible. Because I have worked with children, teenagers, and adults, the ability to adapt to the learner's ability level is especially important. Not all people learn at the exact pact, therefore, flexibility is essential as well as non traditional teaching methods. So

Through my experience as a tutor I learned that each student is different. I strive to recognize that difference and use it to emphasize learning strategies. I provided customized teaching for each student based on their prior mathematical knowledge and progress. As a tutor my goal is to expand student’s abilities in logical, abstract, and scientific thinking and to promote deeper understanding and farther exploration of the subject. I motivate students to be proactive in their math courses. I think that the best tutoring is when you can put a student on their own feet in the shortest amount of time; where student would not require your help any longer but understands how to learn efficiently and productively on their own. I recently graduated with BS in Electrical and Computer Engineering. While in school I worked as a tutor for 2 years. I tutored college students in mathematics and sci
