Pre-Algebra Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Redmond, OR

I am a very warm, caring instructor who is able to gauge a students' needs, whether it involves study skills, organization or overall comprehension. My tutoring philosophy involves working with your child's current assignments. Together we will develop study skills which will help him/her not only immediately, but also in years to come. I will NOT give your child 'extra' work, unless requested by you or your child. Bottom line, I make tutoring sessions as painless and effective as possible, which in turn creates excitement for learning! I hold a Master's degree in Education, as well as teaching certification in English. During the last seven years, I have taught students of all educational backgrounds in various capacities.

Learning is like a puzzle or a code, and I enjoy the reaction of students when they finally solve the puzzle, or decipher the code. I try to show the student the practical application of the subject, and then make them enjoy their time learning. I love seeing the joy of the "Aha!" moment. I hope to establish enough of a relationship with my students to be able to identify what methods will work best. I helped my three children with their homework, and learned the benefit of using a style most suitable to their individual personalities. My teaching experience has all been in volunteer roles. I taught Sunday School class and Youth Group at New Hope Church in Bend for grades 5 through 12. I have recently applied for and been accepted as a mentor in the Deschutes County COPY (Central Oregon Partnership for Youth) program, and have gone through a 6-hour mentorship training program as a

As an advanced student in highschool algebra, my teacher chose me to tutor one struggling athlete and one girl trying to raise her B to an A for acceptance to an Ivy League University. In discovering their different learning styles, I was able to teach my students in a way they understood. Seeing the light in their eyes as they figured out a problem gave me a passion for teaching. Your student is capapble of learning; it is my responsibility to discover their learning style and present the material in a way that he or she understands. In addition to completing accounting courses for my B.S. in Accounting, I completed two courses in Child Development and Education, and all college level math courses through Calculus. I have tutored students in math since 1989. At Juniper Elementary in Bend, OR, I was a Good News Club teacher and volunteered as a reading specialist working to improve r

I believe that the most important element of teaching and tutoring is the ability to vary one's teaching style to meet the learning style of a student. I am patient and comfortable explaining things multiple times and in multiple ways. I believe I have the creativity to help any student find a way to make sense of his or her material. I believe firmly in experiential education, in which subject matter becomes alive to the learner through activities or other practical approaches. I believe that students with all ability levels can master the subject matter with the proper support and the right approach and I believe that I am perceptive enough to be able to find such an approach for any student. I have worked as a tutor since I was sixteen years old, first as a peer tutor, and then in various contexts following my college graduation. I have experience working with learners at varying leve

I am a graduate from Georgia College & State University with a Bachelor of Science in chemistry. As a chemistry graduate, I am very familiar with the subject. In addition to my own academic achievements, I tutored mathematics and chemistry at Georgia Military College for 3.5 years.

I like to make students feel comfortable around me and realize that I have a genuine concern for their academic achievements. I believe all students learn differently, so it is always my goal to find the method in which the student learns. I believe that all students can reach their academic goals given the proper opportunities.

I have over 35 years experience teaching at the university level including courses in statistics, research methods, medical sociology, writing, and numerous other topics. I have also conducted management training to public service managers and employees focusing on management skills and employee development and compliance. My teaching style will vary according to the task at hand. For example, in teaching or tutoring basic, knowledge-based subjects, my approach is more structured and gear towards building knowledge and mastery of the subjects at hand. In preparing students for educational success, my style is adjusted to the student. That is, every student is different and unique, and will demonstrate his or her own natural learning abilities. In this respect, I work closely with students to discover those intangibles that motivate and inspire them to learn. I can definitely teach

So far, I have gained insight into the inquisitive and intellectual critique of humanity in studying anthropology at the undergraduate level. My studies opened me to living as well as working abroad, excavating archaeological sites in Chile to teaching PE and history in Honduras. I tutored students ages 7-53 in subjects such as English as a second language, history, cultural anthropology, and Spanish. Teaching in Honduras culminated my tutoring experiences in a formalized, calendar based lesson planning. I had dabbled in tutoring with different organizations like Oak Street Study Buddy in Plattsburgh, NY as well as RAICES, s Spanish language learning club at college. I tutored university students while teaching in Honduras. I am a firm believer in demanding excellence from my students. Also, without a goal one cannot achieve anything; therefore we set challenging goals, and utiliz
