I don't just teach history I have lived history!

I believe that education is the key to success for young students. As a teacher, I hope to motivate students in ascertaining their inner strengths and abilities and discovering what truly inspires them. I aim to provide a stimulating learning environment that encourages students to trust their own opinions, while fostering confidence in order for students to realize their full potential. Through my teaching experience thus far, I have found the method of facilitating rather than dictating to be a highly beneficial style of teaching. I have learned that if students construct their own learning experiences they will not only retain information longer, but they will also become more confident in their abilities. Being devoted to this assertion confirms that I have made the right career choice for myself. I love working with children and will continue to strive to be a positive influence ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Logical lecturing periodically within explanations poised by pupils based on material being studied.
I have never formally tutored anyone but I have helped my younger siblings and classmates with homework before and I am confident in my abilities to communicate information in a logical and well ordered manner so that a pupil will be able to understand, comprehend, and apply the information in a testing setting.

More About This Tutor...

I believe the best way to improve Mandarin is through speaking it. Therefore, I will stress on the oral portion more. I think reading and discussing about articles on different subjects is a good way to help students feel comfortable about speaking Chinese. I think geology is a subject that needs to be verbalized and visualized. Therefore, I will rely on graphics and dialogues with my students to help them familiarize themselves with geologic concepts.
I was born in Taiwan and grew up in Shanghai. I tutored English in Shanghai and tutored Mandarin at Wheaton College. I'm confident in not just teaching Mandarin but relating the language to American culture and Chinese culture. I am a third year student majoring in Geology at Wheaton College. I spent one year as a teaching assistant in the geology department at Wheaton.

Fun & Engaging Experienced Math & Science Teacher ??

I love to teach/tutor math and science and to bring joy and excitement to the learning process. I use a variety of strategies including math manipulatives and kinesthetic movement to help my students understand the concepts and relationships inherent in mathematics. My goal is to inspire your child to learn on their own and to develop the skills to be self sufficient in their math and science learning, and so I hope the time comes when my services are no longer needed and your child is self sufficient.
I am a middle school math and science teacher in a top school district with experience in grades 5th through 8th. I have experience working with a wide variety of students ranging from students with difficulties in understanding mathematics and students with learning disabilities to advanced learners.

I believe that my extensive experience in organic chemistry, both from the academic perspective and from the industrial side give me an advantage in helping students make a "real world" connection between what they learn in textbooks to how it can and is applied to everyday industrial science. In helping students grasp the many difficult areas of chemistry, I believe that I am making an impact on the next generation of scientists. As far as teaching style goes, chemistry is a very demanding subject, but one that is manageable given the proper focus and teaching. I believe that my job is to facilitate a framework for learning - provide constructive ideas for how to learn the material rather just recite facts and figures out of a textbook.
As an undergraduate student at Dayton and as a graduate student at Notre Dame, I was responsible for teaching undergraduate chemistry labs in gene ... read more

More About This Tutor...

For as long as I can remember, I have always wanted to teach children and enrich their lives in as many ways as possible. I started helping my mom out when she taught preschool at the age of three. After school during elementary, middle, and high school, I would always go to school and help my mom in the classroom or during the day when I could. I constantly went to school functions and volunteered to help out at the fun fairs that my mom’s school would put on. My professional experiences have also encouraged me further to become a teacher. In high school I participated in two elementary internships. I went to Illinois State University to obtain my bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and learned different teaching strategies and philosophy by observing different classrooms. I have also taught lessons and tutored children in an afternoon reading program. Upon completing my s ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a current graduate student of Texas A&M University working towards my PhD in Particle Physics here at Fermi National Accelerator Lab I have had the good fortune to not only experience the passion and interest that research in physics provides, but develop an extensive and diverse teaching experience. With an emphasis on making physics fun and understandable I have had experience in many of the basic physics courses as well as helping develop an outreach course to present the upper level physics ideas (big bang, black holes,...etc) to the mass public in an approachable and understandable way.
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 pro ... read more
