I am not young enough to know everything

I agree with the concept that each person learns a bit differently, and even more so that as a tutor, I should try and find the most effective style for my tutee. My academic career also taught me the importance of setting time limits for each action item; and switching tasks to keep the mind sharp.
You will see from my resume below that I have strong experience in math, science, engineering and computers. It is worth mentioning that I am also skilled in english (5 on my AP World Lit exam) and art (voted most artistic in my senior high school class). I have also tutored at least 4 students in the past, and found it to be a successful and rewarding experience. Katharine P.

Anything can be achieved with dedication and the right help

I have been a math resource tutor at my high school for the past year. I really enjoying helping people using my strengths in the math and sciences. I have also experienced tutoring first hand. I was tutored in AP BC Calculus and AP Physics, so I know from experience what works and what doesn't. I may not be a teacher but as a means of cost effective tutoring, I can help you out wherever you need it.
I am direct without being overpowering. I have learned how to help the student come to the right answer compared to explaining why the answer is what it is. Talking them through the thought process of the problem is the first step to solving the problem on their own.

I have had experience working with middle school students with various learning disabilities, so I have a lot of patience, and I used creative ways to help students learn and recall material for testing. I worked hard to make sure students understood and retained information, and helped them learn various ways to comprehend and remember things.
Relaxed, personalized, result driven

A Little Bit About Me...

I am currently writing my thesis in order to finish my Master’s degree in applied physics. My research is on experiment fluid dynamics where I am studying the affects of viscosity on glycerin. I have incredible math and science skills that I would love to teach others. I worked at a community college were I learned different methods of teaching or tutoring others.
I believe that by letting the student try to answer the problem by them self is the best way of learning. I will try to guide them down the right path, but even a wrong answer can teach you a lesson. I also believe that practice is the best way to become good at science or math, like a basketball player practice basketball to become better, so must a student.

More About This Tutor...

I have learned that in teaching physics and mathematics it is important not only to have a grasp of the broad principles and concepts but to see how they are related and build upon one another. Furthermore, I have seen the success in teaching and practicing physics and mathematics from a problem solving point of view and tend to teach by providing examples to be worked upon and solving problems that typify common physics exam questions. I enjoy teaching to people from all different types of educational background and capabilities and see any subject material as accessible to all provided they are taught in a way most suitable to the individual and strive to find that for every one of my students.

More About This Tutor...

I believe a basic knowledge of Physics and Mathematics is necessary for a Physics student who wants to further his knowledge and study a higher level course. In my teaching, I always start from the basics and build upon it. Whenever I need to give examples, I refer to daily events which happen in our real lives. This makes the subject real, practical and more understandable. Depending on the goal of a course, I can give conceptual teaching, or go deep into the Calculus of Physics. In my opinion a teacher must not only be knowledgeable, but also patient and friendly with an easygoing personality. This is the key for successful teaching.

More About This Tutor...

Mathematically, I teach from a logical, or procedural approach. As students work their way up to Calculus and further, it is important to understand the process of problem-solving and not focus on the numbers alone. Many sciences can become abstract, I like to relate topics to things students may encounter everyday or already understand in order to get a foundation before complicating topics with smaller detail. I am very positive and try to push students as fast as they absorb the information. I feel it is hard to enjoy a subject if you do not understand it or see how it effects you. For this reason, I try to bring real-world uses for topics and bring these subject to life.
I graduated from the University of Missouri in Columbia. I received dual Bachelors' of Science in Computer and Electrical Engineering. These have a advanced my understanding of physics, mathematics, and ... read more

I have been fascinated with tutoring for the past three years ago. I began tutoring one of the professors at the University of IL at Chicago in a foreign language. Since then, I have been tutoring various age groups from eight years old to fifty four years old. I received my Bachelor degree in Biology from University of IL at Chicago. While studying Biology, I was able to take various courses in science such as Math, Physics, General and Organic Chemistry, Physiology and biology.
I believe a great teacher needs to have proper skills and talents for teaching. I learned a lot while growing up from a great teacher; my mother. My mother was a teacher for thirty years teaching elementary grades. I learned a great teacher needs to be respectful, patient and to be able to illustrate the lesson in an easy, simple way. I try to provide simple analogies for each concept. This enables the stu ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My liberal arts background, my in-depth knowledge of physics, my many years of business-world engineering experience, and my passion for teaching serve me well as a tutor, regardless of topic or level. I taught physics at the college level, then moved into software engineering as a telephony systems engineer at AT&T (and Lucent) Bell Laboratories until retirement in 2001. I have taught at the high school level, but only in a limited capacity. I have been a science fair judge at the Chicago Science Symposium for the past seventeen years. People say that I have a knack for making complex concepts sound simple. That's one advantage of a liberal arts background.

I love working with kids because they have such a unique and unbiased view of life. They say what they are thinking and they have no hidden agendas or ill conceived motivation. They are eager to learn, to talk, to share what's on their minds. They are in a position to be molded and shaped constantly and m ... read more
