I know how to help students learn mathematics.

I have lots of middle school experience and can use hand's-on conceptual models or straight forward drill work to help students understand. I am committed to working through concepts until my students get it.
Math teacher with science and English background and 13 years experience middle school, high school, and some college tutoring/teaching. I most recently taught pre-algebra and geometry and have taught algebra many times. I tutored through college at all levels. I like using simpler examples to introduce concepts and then help students build a strong understanding of harder skills.

Chemistry is one of my top subjects!

Hello! Is your child struggling with the math and science Regents exams? If so, perhaps I can be of help. I am just getting back into the tutoring scene after being on hiatus for a few years to develop my professional career. I graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 2013 (current age: 28) with a degree in Chemical Engineering, and by day, I currently work as an industrial engineer in the Horseheads-Elmira area. I have worked as a private tutor off and on since I was in high school (2005-2009). While I have taken a full spectrum of math and science courses in the past, I believe my best strength in tutoring is in helping with Regents preparation. Unlike more difficult exams such as the AP, I strongly believe that the Regents are very beatable tests. They’re not filled with trick questions, but rather, test your ability on a very specific set of ideas. As a private tutor, ... read more

My comments on tutoring Chemistry : I received my BS in Biological Sciences with a minor in Chemistry with honors in 2010. I have taken and received A's in 2 inorganic classes, 2 organic classes. I have taken and received high marks in biochemistry.

I have tutored one-on-one as well as to large groups. My focus is on college level science classes. I feel that bringing creative and unique methods to learning helps student overcome their dispassion or fear. My sessions aim to be positive and motivating. Although I have won numerous awards for my creativity, and presentation methods, the greatest reward have been the smiling faces of my students after the course when they brag about their final grades. Let me show you that you can succeed in science.

I have worked tutoring since I was in College. I used to help students in different subjects, specially english, spanish, math and chemistry. As a native spanish speaker I enjoyed assisting international students improve thier fluency and proficiency in the language. I completed a Food Science degree at San Francisco University in Quito, Ecuador, where I'm from. After graduating from University, I started working at a Confectionery Company in Quito. Working for the Research and Development Department, helped me gain important experience in the Food Industry. Among the main responsabilities at work, I had to run lab trials to come up with a desired formulation for new products in many categories such as chocolates, candies and chewing gum. In addition, I designed their manufacture process and carried out shelf life studies. During my time there I also trained and tutored workers in the p ... read more

I believe that students must be able to perform through practice problems to fully demonstrate understanding of information. Therefore, I will check to see what a student understands about a particular topic, give some instruction, and then test their knowledge with appropritae questions.
I have taught high school science for nine years at Penn Yan Academy including: The Living Environment, Chemistry, Environmental Chemistry, and Access Science for Special Education students. I have permanent teaching certificates in Chemistry 7-12, and Biology - General Science 7-12.

I have worked really hard in my life to acheive the success I am enjoying now. I am originally from India and as many of us are aware India is churning out advanced degree individuals at a lightening pace. The educational system I grew up in was a very hard and intense system compared to the US standards, I personally feel for America to be competetive the education system should improve to competetive levels with countries like India and China. I have an extensive background in sciences (physics, chemistry and biology)and math, and since I never used a calculator till I was in college most of my approaches are tricks and tips which are very easy to undertsand and apply.
I am patient and understanding, if students have questions, I will go out of my way to help them grasp the concept. I love teaching, because I think there is always a hard way to learn things and an easy way, i ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I recently earned a BS in studio art and my interests extend into math, sciences, and reading. This desire for knowledge spurred me to begin a second major in chemistry, enabling me to continue my math and science courses. Additionally I have an associates degree in graphic design. I tutored chemistry at the college level, and have helped my younger siblings with their middle school and high school homework. I have also assisted with elementary age students for years.
I enjoy working with students of all ages. I believe that every student has amazing potential that can be reached with the right help. I am easy going and patient, understanding that we all learn a little differently.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a graduate of a small, liberal arts college, I feel that I have a unique perspective on learning. With over 50 credits for my BS in Biochemistry as well as my “core” (including English, Philosophy, Religion, and History), I consider myself far more well-rounded than other graduates. Because of the small, family-oriented atmosphere I learned in, I appreciate and embody hard work, perseverance, and strong interpersonal relationships. As a student, I became very involved in and took leadership roles in extracurricular activities such as: Chemistry Club – president; Biology Club – vice president; Mens Club Volleyball – co-captain and secretary; and Read for the Stars – co-founder, secretary, and fundraising chair.
Teaching is really what I take pride in and consider myself proficient at. As a co-founder of Read for the Stars, I helped developed a program for at risk, elementary lev ... read more

Once in a classroom I realized that I was meant to teach. I love working with students who are challenging and those who challenge me. I believe that I can become a better teacher only by continually challenging myself and my students. The key phrase “engaging students” seems less than what is required in the classroom. I want my students to be engaged but I want them to encompass and enjoy what they are doing as well. I love technology and new method topics; I have a very strong math and science background as well as excellent written and verbal presentation skills. I was a hands on learner and often use hands on methods to teach when possible. I have taught every level from kindergarten to college level and feel comfortable doing so.
I am interested in tutoring because I love teaching regardless of the subject matter. I’ve been lucky enough to be given the opportunity to try se ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have taught high school math for over twelve years. I tutor math and chemistry students. I hold degrees in engineering (BS Civil Engineering, MS Environmental Engineering) and education (MA Educational Administration). My engineering training has taught me the level of hands-on mathematics required to succeed in college degree programs. I strive to prepare all my students for success at this level. Good mathematical mechanics must be augmented by a thorough conceptual understanding. I excel at identifying and correcting student deficiencies.
To serve students in a tutorial setting, I first determine a student's current level of understanding. As specific gaps in understanding are identified, targeted instruction is used to fill in those gaps. Many times work on fundamental concepts or mechanics is required to achieve true and lasting success in the content area. Students ... read more

I was let go from a local company earlier this year. I have decided to make a career change and my goal is to teach math at the high school level. I have a year of college to be certified. I'm a full student at CCC, and will take the Pedagogy requirements at Elmira College. I intend to tutor and substitute teach this winter and spring during college. In industry, I was a Mechanical Engineer and spent time in management. I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering with a MBA. I spent ten years in the Army and National Guard. I am divorced and raising four children. I am active in the local Boy Scout troop.
Coming from a large family and having a large family myself, I have always been around children of all ages and enjoyed working with kids to develop themselves and prepare them for a meaningful place in our society. I am very patient with children and will use differe ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Throughout college, I was a substitute teacher at the local elementary and middle school where I worked with the children in the classroom environment. I also worked one on one with children that were having a difficult time in their classwork. I was also a tutor to the middle school and lower high school students during my Junior and Senior year of high school. I earned a BA degree in Biochemistry and am very comfortable in tutoring middle and high school students in the sciences.
I have always been a patient teacher and have learned that each child has there own learning style. To better tutor a child, they need to be able to learn in their own style. I understand this and will do my best to target their style to allow them to learn in a way that is easy and fun for them. I try to apply what is being learned into every day life to keep the interest in the subject, I feel th ... read more

During my undergraduate career I discovered my passion for teaching. I also discovered that being an educator in the sciences is particularly tricky because it deals with some of the most abstract information with seemingly little real world application. Most people struggle with the sciences and, in their frustration, often give up. My philosophy for teaching has always been to do whatever it takes to keep my students interested and engaged. This usually involves a lot of class participation as well as being creative with my lessons. People learn in a multitude of ways and I am always trying new methods of teaching in order to get through to my students.
Throughout my education I've had a drive to teach. While earning my BS in chemistry with minor in biology I assisted many fellow students by acting as both a laboratory assistant and as a tutor in general chemistry and organic che ... read more

I enjoy working with students individually, because it really is true that no two students learn in exactly the same way. I like to first see what my students know and then take corrective steps after establishing a base. I am patient and attempt to make learning fun for my students.
I recently obtained a Bachelors of Science in Biological and Environmental Engineering from Cornell University. As an engineer I have very strong analytical and problem solving skills. However, I also have very strong writing and grammatical skills which I have utilized not only in technical papers and reports, but also in various liberal studies courses I took throughout my undergraduate career.I have experience tutoring middle and high school aged students in language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. As well as experience with college aged students in technical courses such Sustaina ... read more
