I earned a degree in biology with a minor in forensic Psychology. Although Biology was my major, I took math classes from Pre-calculus to differential equations although i did not need it but because I loved math. I am preparing to take my GACE certification, which is a licence to teach. During my undergraduate years, i volunteered at peach county high school in the city of Fort valley; I taught high school students math and science courses and i also tutored math and science courses during my undergraduate years in college. I have currently gotten a job with a tutoring company, all this I know has equipped me to become a better tutor

Math Tutor! Geometry, Algebra, Trigonometry!

My tutoring style is explaining the concept in the simplest possible terms and then practicing a few problems with the student. Then when I see the client has grasped the concept, I move on. I do not believe in rushing the student because I know how frustrating it is when one does not understand something.
I have tutored algebra 1 and 2, college algebra, intermediate algebra, pre-calculus, and geometry. My best subject is mathematics. On the SAT math section, I scored a 700 with the highest score being 800. When I was a freshman high school, I tutored students older than myself in subjects such as Algebra 1 & 2, Geometry. While still in high school, I took College Algebra at Broward College. I got the highest grade in that class -- an A.

More About This Tutor...

I believe that teaching should be as student-centered as possible. This means primarily two things. First, it means students should be as active in their education as possible. I see myself as a guide, who will teach students the skills they need to discover knowledge in the future, rather than as a provider of knowledge. Second, it means that I always take students interests, learning profiles, and abilities into account when planning lessons or tutoring sessions. More generally, I am a teacher who is extremely organized but also very creative with my lesson plans. Through making lessons interactive and interesting, I've found that students get engaged in the material and learn more effectively.

I work hard at finding a way to connect with the student. This requires that I stay aware of the hints that the student is transmitting so that I can present the material in a manner that the student can proclaim "I've got it". I also work with the student to solve problems. Another approach I use is to never answer a question directly. I always ask them questions in a manner that allows them to be guided to the answer. This builds their self confidence and allows them think thru the process to get at the answer and it helps them to take ownership of the content.
Over the past 15 years I have been a trainer for professionals in areas of process management and quality regulations. In addition I have 4 years of experience at the secondary school level teaching chemistry, math and physics. In addition I taught chemistry at the local community college as an adjunct instructor.

Most of my teaching experience is from one to one tutoring. I have tutored over 20 students and always received compliments regarding my reliability, punctuality, style and patience. I have tutored for students with ages raging from 14 to 25 years old and included algebra, geometry, calculus, physics, etc. I worked as an 8th grade math teacher for a Catholic School as well. I lectured algebra and geometry to 3 different groups of 50 to 55 students.
My one to one teaching style is tailored to adapt to the students learning style. However, my experience shows that keeping the student active during the learning process promotes a better learning. I use Microsoft Excel during my lessons. I create formulas, graphs, etc. and the Excel spreadsheet and ask the student to enter the data so that he/she can see how things change with different entries. This interactive process increased t ... read more

My preferred or favorite teaching technique is the student-focused teaching. Such method of teaching helps students meet their full potential one at the time. It considers each student level of learning and understanding by creating teacher-student friendly environment. This method also consists of an interactive learning which gives students opportunity to express and react to their understanding and concerns about what they are being taught. In brief this technique is more like one-on-one coaching. And when it comes to tutoring, I know from experience that this is the number one and very successful technique. With such technique, I believe I will make a difference in many students learning life.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a multidisciplinary-trained individual with comprehensive scientific background in mathematics, chemistry, biochemistry and molecular biology. Having obtained two advanced degrees, MS in Chemistry from Yale University and MS in Biotechnology from Georgetown University, I developed an extensive theoretical knowledge, demonstrated excellence in preparation of research papers and laboratory reports, and advanced my effective teaching, communication, and interpersonal skills. My tutoring career started back in high school when I volunteered to assist my peers with their mathematics and chemistry homework and prepare them for exams.
My teaching maxim is that the ability to explain a concept to other people means you have truly understood it. Hence, after I have taught a concept to the student, I encourage him/her to explain it to me because I strongly believe that this approach fac ... read more

I love teaching. Whenever a friend needed help, I was always there to help them out with their school work. I am a good tutor and I'm patient and considerate. My goal is always to make sure that they understand the subject rather than just having them complete homework.

Both degrees have helped me gain knowledge in math, science and in information technology. My grammatical skills are good due to writing a lot of research papers and lab reports.

My greatest strength as a tutor is that I know what it is like to have no knowledge of a foreign language. Thus, I am able to diagnose the particular difficulties a student is having and provide appropriate guidance in resolving those difficulties. I believe in repetition and drills, both written and spoken. In addition, I also believe in using the target language as much as possible. I will encourage students to use what knowledge they have of the target language in order to communicate with me. I used to be afraid to speak foreign languages, but several of my teachers were able to create a comfortable enough environment such that I was no longer afraid. I hope to do the same.
My education in international relations and international public affairs has allowed me to gain knowledge in the social sciences and foreign languages. As an undergraduate student, I studied and worke ... read more

Throughout many years of tutoring my peers and underclassmen, I have obtained several techniques to help students study effectively. Depend on each individual student and their study habit; I can adjust a specific agenda and curriculum to help strengthen their weakness and excel their strength.

I refer to my teaching style as "structured, yet relaxed". I believe that it is my role as an instructor to provide the overall structure of the class. I am very flexible in order to deal with a variety of student’s .As an instructor; it is my role to present information in a way so students learn. One of my teaching goals is inspiring the students to take the time to read into a subject, and to learn to look at it from different angles before giving their opinion

After evaluating over 7,200 college English papers, I know the language skills that students need to develop in high school. I have taught college composition courses full-time for five years and part-time for nine, helping a wide variety of students become better readers and writers. During both my M.A. and Ph.D. programs in English, I was awarded a graduate teaching assistantship allowing me to study Composition & Rhetoric pedagogy while teaching one or two freshman-level classes of my own. I have conducted hundreds of individual writing conferences, and I have experience with gifted students, ESL students, remedial students, and students with learning difficulties. I enjoy helping people become more effective, confident writers.
