Expert Math Tutor

I attempt to answer questions and explain concepts with as much detail as possible, while letting students discover answers on their own. I try and let the student arrive at the answer as independently as possible. I explain concepts using technical terminology, lamen terms, analogies, examples, pictures, videos, or drawings, etc.
My educational intetests lead me to complete a wide range of subject-disciplines in Mathematics. At the South Puget Sound Community College Math Center, in an open classroom setting, I tutored up to ten students an hour.

More About This Tutor...

I'm patient and recognize feelings when somebody doesn't understand. I really believe that understanding Maths or Physics is easy when the required background is present. It's like a chain where chapters are links required to continue to the next one. If you loose one it's hard to get other. That's why the first step is knowing the student's level. Once this is done I review what he is learning then I can make a plan to update him. When this level is reached the Student is ready to continue alone. Then follow up is important to asure that the person is able to become self contained. Main scope is the student will have a complete understanding of themes currently treated and those that will come in the future.
Experience: covers a broad range of Student's ages. From 1st Grade up to 12th Grade. My main theme are Maths but also I do very well in Physics. I completed Engineering St ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Although I lack experience teaching, I have a complete understanding of calculus and the physical sciences to offer. I have a BS in Biology and have 14 years experience in analytical chemistry. I have taken 2 years of calculus and would enjoy tutoring for it very much.
Calm and empathy, able to make the student arrive at a solution themselves through a logical thought process. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to learning. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. A few good educators can make a world of difference in a child's education. I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives.

I believe that whenever I'm working with a student they have the capacity to learn and internalize the material. I believe that the student can learn the material. My method of mathematical and scientific instruction is based off the Polya style of teaching where the instructor guides their students by questions and reviewing the known information. Thus the student's questions drive the student towards the answer desired. I find great personal reward when working with students. After explaining information and working on helping a student understand the material there's sometimes that moment when you can watch the student go from not knowing what's going on to sudden understanding. Moments like that make my day.
I recently graduated from the Evergreen State College with a degree in mathematics. My other fields of study included chemistry, computer science, and physics. I have numer ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a high school teacher, I facilitated the instruction of approximately 100 students in Chemistry in accordance with Massachusetts Learning Standards. Developed and implemented course curriculum for the Forensic Science course, including labs featuring gun shot residue testing, urinalysis, and DNA electrophoresis . Supervised the after-school chemistry tutoring program for all high school students. Additionally, I served as a volunteer ESL tutor for one year.
I will be upfront, I was known as a firm, but fair, teacher. I see science as a field primarily learned through doing, and I enjoy performing science demonstrations with my students to help illustrate new concepts. At the same time, I expect students to attempt to solve problems on their own, as opposed to simply memorizing how I solve problems. While it is sometimes difficult at first, I find it gives them confidence to appr ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My goal as a math tutor is to enhance my students’ understanding of mathematics. Often, classroom instruction alone is insufficient when it comes to learning complex subject matter. Some students might benefit from added practice, while others might need extra theoretical explanation. I aim to identify each student’s individual learning style and goals in order to develop a tutoring program to best serve them. My strongest skills as a tutor are patience, communication and a thorough understanding of subject material. I strive to use these skills to help my students achieve the success they are all capable of.
As a doctor of Biomathematics, I have a deep passion for mathematics and applied mathematics. From my undergraduate days as a math major at Columbia University, to the intensive research of my doctoral program, I have developed a finely tuned understanding of mathematic ... read more

I believe that each student has a unique way of learning and it is my job to get to know their needs so I can be of use to them. I am very patient and will not hold judgment because I know math can be difficult. Making each problem a step by step process and adding a little fun will hopefully make each student be more successful.
I have earned a BA in Psychology which has not only helped me to understand different learning styles but has also helped me to better convey information to a variety of people. I was considering a degree in animal science which required me to take many college math courses. I have always had the patience and interest in math and have completed coursework up to Introductory Calculus. I have been tutoring in math for the past year because I truly enjoy being able to share the knowledge I have to help others succeed.
