College Algebra Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Portsmouth, IA

I prefer to use materials that students have been given in their classroom (textbooks, homework, study guides, notes) and provide additional explanation and examples. I always ask students which areas they would like to go over most importantly. I ask them to try an example problem with me, and then one without me until they feel confident in their ability to solve that type of math problem and its concepts. 2006-2012 Self-Employed Private Math Tutor Utah and Idaho Tutor • Guided trigonometry and pre-algebra students through homework assignments, offering additional instruction and examples to help them gain confidence and knowledge • Prepared students for exams by reviewing notes and homework, while addressing their specific concerns and keeping their attitudes positive 2005-2007 University of Idaho Poly Math Center

Hands-on and visual I tutored at Northeast Community College in Norfolk for 4 years. I tutor math, basic electricity, and AutoCAD. I was asked by my instructors to be a tutor, it's not something you can just ask to do. I was on the presidents list my last semester in May of 2015. I got a certification for tutoring by taking an online class for a couple nights.

I try to work with students to find connections between different aspects of the material that we're working on as well as to find connections to other subjects. I find that by relating specific topics to broader perspectives on a subject as well as related subjects, the student can gain a greater appreciation for the coherence and importance of a particular subject area. I have experience working with students who are advanced and seeking supplementary tutoring as well as with students who are having difficulty with a subject. I have tutored mathematics as well as chemistry, biology, physics, and other subjects. I have tutored students from a range of ages and I worked with my first student over four years ago while I was in college.

I led Supplemental Instruction for College Algebra at The University of South Dakota for 1-1/2 year, providing group study sessions, homework help, extra tips, and additional instruction as necessary. I consider Algebra to be my specialty among all math subjects. I prefer personal and small group teaching, but I can also do online tutoring with Webex. I like to get to know my students and their goals. I can help students set those goals, make plans, and achieve. I have lots of experience creating curriculum materials and lessons, and I try to find a real-life application to each lesson. My career path has winded around quite a bit but always focuses on computer science and math education. My education experience has included tutoring freelance, tutoring on USD's payroll, leading group study sessions, providing supplemental instruction for university coursework, leading workshops at a com

I have extensive knowledge in the Sciences with six years of biology classes behind me. I have also tutored fellow students in Biology and Chemistry while earning my bachelor's degree. From there, I taught Biology labs (General Zoology, Marine Vertebrates) while earning my master's degree. And now, I am a college Anatomy & Physiology professor. I am a very laid back, easy going person. My teaching style typically incorporates both written and visual so there is something for all types of learners. The student has the answers, I merely guide or tweak those answers to get the correct expressions. There is always a way to explain a concept to get the underlying comprehension for everyone.

I am a very dedicated and determined person and I expect those that I work with to be willing and determined to put forth effort. Besides that my teaching style depends on the styles of those I am working with since different people have different learning styles and it is necessary for me to adjust my style in order to help each and everyone succeed. I believe that everyone has an immense learning capacity if we, as teachers, can help them tap into that. I also believe in showing how the subjects taught can be useful in life and not just for a class that one has to take, as well as, showing the connections between that class and the other subject areas. I am a recent graduate from a liberal arts college which has allowed me the opportunity to be immersed in a variety of subjects. I graduated with a BA in Honors Mathematics and a BA in Physics and am going to continue my education to

Ever since I was young, I have always found joy in mathematics. Number puzzles, real life applications, and the teaching of math are all fascinating and enjoyable to me. I studied mathematics and economics in college so I could work on more advanced quantitative problems for a career. I later returned to school to get a Master's degree in Operations Research, a mathematical modeling discipline. While I tutored some as a undergraduate student, I really began teaching and tutoring mathematics during the past two years. I've worked with various levels of students, from middle schoolers to college seniors. I am comfortable teaching any level of math up through calculus, including statistics. Practice, practice, practice. Math is not learned by watching, it is learned by doing. Some types of problems can be learned after only a few examples, others take much more time and patience. M

I have a quick and unique approach to teaching to adequately cater for students of all levels of understanding. I enjoy teaching with examples, visualizing and sometimes using fun games. I also adopt a way of getting students interested in the subject matter based on their backgrounds and experiences. I am a holder of bachelors degree in Physics who has considerable command over Mathematics and Chemistry. I have had the opportunity of teaching and tutoring these subjects for over ten years. I am also a self styled piano and organ and organ musician with proficiency in the rudiments and theory of music. I have also tutored this subject for a few years. I have also functioned as a Church organist for several years I am currently pursuing my graduate degree in Atmospheric Science.

I love children and have gained lots of experience helping my mother who is a teacher. I am always positive and believe this helps students learn the best. Given this positive atmosphere, students can achieve their potential. I am a Biology/Chemistry tutor at my school. In high school, I also tutored students in math and science. I did well the MCAT, so I have tutored students in those areas.

I love teaching especially those topics for which I have a passion. I also try my best to see the interdisciplinary aspects of particular subjects. Understanding that all learn differently I practice patience to ensure that the subject matter is understood. I enjoy employing real-world examples that can help reinforce the material being taught. I hold two bachelor degrees, a BSBA in Finance and a BS in Computer Science, which allowed me to experience a breadth of academic classes and experiences. During my undergraduate years I spent three semesters working in the university math department tutoring intermediate and college algebra. In that position I both taught in the classroom and tutored students individually. After graduation I spent two years working with college students in a leadership and character development organization. I have experiences imparting knowledge in multiple sett

I received my Bachelor's degree in Education, Math Grades 8-12 at Baylor University. Through Baylor’s program I tutored Fall ‘03, Spring ‘04, and Summer ‘04. During the ‘04-‘05 school year, I was a Teaching Associate in a local school. I observed, tutored, co-taught, and taught one period of Geometry that year. For the ‘05-‘06 school year, I worked as an Intern in a local school. I taught, tutored, and co-taught all levels of geometry, Algebra 2 Honors, and Pre-Calculus. I went on to get my MS in Statistics from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in December ‘09. Upon graduating, I took an Adjunct Math Instructor position at ITT-Technical Institute in Omaha in June ‘10. I believe that everybody can learn and comprehend math. Math is an intimidating subject for most people, so my goal as a teacher is to show my students that it is more like a puzzle. With all puzzles, you just need to kn

Even though I have never taught as a certified teacher, my teaching style has been a preeminent tool which had braced my tutoring skills. Indeed, my teaching methodology encompasses ineffable patience, great serenity, exceptional aptitude to break down complex concepts into their infinitesimal aspects and ability to choose a solution pattern that best suits the student taking into account a rigorous implementation of international rules upon which academicians have concurred. Not only do I believe there is no standard teaching style compatible with every tutee, but I strongly claim an efficient teaching style should be contingent upon the major needs of the student as well. Furthermore, I firmly contend students learn best when theories are related to real-world problems. My ultimate aim is to awaken the latent genius inherent in every student as to redeem his or her academic performance

I graduated with my Bachelor of Science in Chemistry in 2008 and am now almost done with my Master's in Biomedical Sciences. I was a laboratory teaching assistant for two years and a math tutor in the Creighton University Math Department for 2 years. I also did some private math tutoring for the undergraduates in Calculus I as well. I am easygoing, but enjoy challenging my students to do well. I always try to be prepared and make sure that I am familiar with the material before any tutoring sessions. I am not concerned with time and feel that if it does take longer than the hour assigned to completely help the student understand the material, then I am more than willing to put in extra time to help them.
