A Little Bit About Me...

As a masters degree holding physicist I have an extensive background in both physics and mathematics. Additionally, as a published author and the author of many research papers and lab reports I have considerable grammatical skills, and writing experience. My whole educational career tutoring my classmates and siblings has come as second nature to me, but I have had official teaching assistant and course assistant roles in helping edit student essays, and in introductory physics courses. Additionally, I have tutored students in astronomy, chemistry, history of science, and mathematics at levels ranging from basic arithmetic to calculus. I also have considerable experience with standardized testing, drawing and painting.
I am a calm, patient, and easy-going person who loves learning and loves helping others to learn. I enjoy adapting to different learning styles, and want to h ... read more

I have a natural passion for educating youth of all ages and find joy in helping them succeed. No child is unreachable when it comes to connecting with them. The only true difficulty may be finding their learning style. Teaching is easy when you know your audience. Our country has put our youth in a state of desperation with regard to their level of education, desire to obtain higher levels of education, and the ability to compete internationally. I want to be a part of the solution in reaching our youth and reassuring them that they can still be and achieve anything they seek.
Education is the central focus of my everyday life. I have obtained a BS in Management-Health Care/HR and 5 Associate degrees in Business Administration, Administrative Office Technology, Medical Office Technology, Legal Secretary, and College Transfer. I have been homeschooling my son since 2006 and mentori ... read more

I love tutoring and mentoring. I naturally adapt my style to that of each student. As part of the instruction, I often ask easy questions to help them discover the rules of math for themselves. By doing this, my students quickly find concepts that were difficult for them begin to make sense! I also encourage them to ask about everything in the lesson they don’t fully understand. I am very patient, caring and encouraging. I help my students build confidence, self-esteem and a positive attitude.
I have taught, tutored, trained and mentored students of all ages for more than 15 years. My background includes being a math teacher and adjunct professor. I taught at colleges in New Jersey and at Duke University. The students I tutor are often in grades 5-12, in college or preparing to return to school. I also have several years experience applying math to real world situations, ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a veteran teacher of French at all levels, I have spent years in the classroom motivating and encouraging students to see their own potential and to strive to achieve their very best. I have a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in French, with time spent during my degree programs studying abroad in France, in West Africa and in Quebec. These experiences abroad have allowed me to experience other cultures and to hone my French language skills over the years. I have tutored students of various ages in French as well as in other subjects, such as reading, language arts and math. I love teaching about language (French and English)and helping students discover and master how to communicate clearly and effectively.
I love learning and teaching language, and I enjoy sharing that joy and excitement with students. I am excited about seeing students overcome obstacles and reach their ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that cooperation among teachers, parents, and students is paramount to a student's success. I always facilitate open communication between every party that's invested in the child that I am tutoring. I maintain an easy-going yet structured atmosphere, where students feel comfortable sharing and learning. I use a variety of resources (i.e. websites, calcultors activites, traditional worksheets) to assist my students.
As a mathematics major, I tutored undergrad and grad students who experienced difficulty in their math courses, during the summer and the regular school year. Throughout my nine years of teaching, I've taught a variety of subjects, and I have learned how to build mature learners and effectively prepare students to be successful in their future math classes. As a current high school department chair, I teach Algebra. I've tutored middle, and high school s ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that all students have the ability to learn. The key is that all students learn in different ways. I believe in working through different approaches (hands-on, visual, creative, etc) until finding the one(s) that work for each individual child. I am patient and considerate of student needs. My goal is to make a difference in students' lives so they realize that education is actually not a burden but something that gives them freedom.
I have taught high school English at SouthWest Edgecombe High School for the past two years. In addition to teaching the writing test to tenth grade students there, I also taught eleventh and twelfth graders. During the past three months, I have been working at South Central High School in Greenville as a long term substitute while waiting to move to Raleigh. There, I worked with students preparing for the SAT and in creative writing. I have ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a graduate of the Air Force Academy and Harvard Business School, I know what it takes to achieve excellence in education. I have earned advanced degrees in Engineering and Business. My love of teaching and coaching brought me back to the Air Force Academy to coach and tutor college athletes in math, science, English, and French. I also have extensive writing and speaking experience and have helped many students with college essays and applications.
My teaching style adapts to each individual I work with. I believe that one of the most important things to helping anyone learn is to instill in them the confidence that they can be successful. I believe that there are lots of different ways to learn, and I like helping people figure out what works for them. If someone wants to be successful and is willing to put in the work, I will find a way to help them achieve their goals.

More About This Tutor...

When I approach a student I've never worked with, my first priority is to make them feel comfortable by letting them see that I am a very nice, friendly, and compassionate person that they might like to have as a friend. Next I try to get them to tell me about themselves in some way (what they've been working on, their favorite subjects) to try to encourage them to speak freely with me about what they're thinking. Then, after personal rapport is established, I begin my academic approach to tutoring by finding out how they think based on their interests or common themes, and I try to connect the material to these things. Children have trouble learning, often because the addressed concepts don't relate to their lives. I strive to connect the material to them, demonstrate its influence on their interests, and allow them to greet the academic engagement as some sort of useful tool, not a ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I come from a strong background in community building and civic leadership. I was drawn to teaching by the simple pleasure of working with students and the joy of being able to pass on what I have learned with others. During the last couple of years, I have worked with students of a variety of ages and in a variety of settings. I have experience ranging from teaching high school history, to serving as a volunteer helping guide rising seniors through the complicated college application process. In my Masters of Arts in Teaching, I learned to create lessons to interest and engage all students and I look forward to using my experiences to help students in the Triangle Area.
I believe all growth in the classroom has to come from a positive relationship between the student and the teacher. The excitement of learning can only come in an environment in which the student is comfortabl ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My students have always found me to be extremely enthusiastic, thoroughly prepared, and genuinely concerned about their progress and success. I am very patient and encouraging, and I will keep working with students until they truly understand the material. I have had great success with students of all ages including those with learning disabilities. I know I have made a difference in my students' lives. One student found me a year after I taught his class and told me, "I would not have gotten my GED if it weren't for you, Mr. Uscher." Rewards like that cannot be measured.
I am a very experienced tutor. I have tutored math, reading, writing, history, ESL, and other subjects to students of all ages from elementary school through adult education. I am a specialist in SAT preparation (both math and verbal) with extensive experience helping many students score significa ... read more

I love teaching children through unique and innovative methods, whether it be through songs in order to help with memorization or presenting the students with real life situations to navigate through. I am mainly hands on and very visual. I feel that these are ultimately the best ways to help children learn and to make a difference in their lives.
As soon as I reached high school, I became interested in mentoring those younger than me and this passion still carries me. With the guidance of my mother, who has been a teacher and tutor for over 20 years, I began to tutor elementary school children in Math, Science, Writing, and oral presentation skills. My mother, as the founder of Gillin Tutoring Services, trained me on how to tutor most effectively. As a graduate of Duke University, I have had education in a number of subjects including, Mathematics, English/Literature, Spanish, Sci ... read more

During my time at Duke I enjoyed rigorous pre-medical subjects like biology and chemistry, but my interests also include English and psychology. I graduated cum laude in May 2009 with B.A. degrees in Pre-Med and English/History/Psychology. More importantly, I have tutored biology, writing/grammatical skills, English, psychology, and chemistry to a wide range of students—from college to elementary aged. I hope to put my 4 years of tutoring experience to work for you!
I enjoy being with people! I envision our discussions as part of an exciting collaboration to capitalize upon your strengths and learn in the most effective, efficient, and fun way. We will learn collaboratively to insure you understand what WE have talked about before I leave. I will break down abstract concepts into simple examples and respond to your feedback immediately in a focused yet relaxed atmosphere.

More About This Tutor...

As the child of a school system administrative professional, I have always spent extra time in the school environment. As a high school freshman I began to tutor elementary school students based on the needs highlighted by their teachers. I spent a lot of time working one on one with English as a secound language students. I assisted with their writting, reading, and basic math skills. Additionally I work particularly well with withdrawn children who need special attention.
My teaching style is simple. As it has not been professionally nurtured I have taken my ques from those I have taught. It is simply to provide what is needed. I prefer to spend time with a student and learn what works for them. I believe trial of multiple styles to find success is critical to each student. Additionally, there is nothing wrong with having fun while you learn!

I believe a good teacher can push students to discover their intrinsic motivation for learning. I relate academic content to real world applications relevant to the students' lives.
