After college graduation, I taught Algebra, Algebra II, Geometry, Earth Science, Biology and Chemistry for one year at a private school in Fresno, CA. I then moved to San Jose, CA and taught at Valley Christian High School. I taught Algebra and Algebra II for one year and then taught Biology and Honors Biology for two years. I also taught Algebra in summer school to students that required more of a smaller, one on one environment to learn. During this time, I earned my California teaching certificate. I then moved to Wilmington, NC and taught for two more years at Waccamaw Academy in Whiteville, NC. Because of the long commute I faced every day, I got a job working for a Pharmaceutical company in Wilmington. During my nine years there, I obtained my MS in Chemistry from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. After only one year with the company, I became a trainer for al

As mentioned in my earlier description, I have eighteen years experience as an educator. I have taught students of all ages from early childhood through college and non-traditional adult education. I believe in making learning fun and engaging by relating concepts to points of interest for the individual student. Tutoring differs from teaching in that "style" is replaced by method. Some of the methods I have used in the past are rhythm and music, neumonic devices, and of course, drill and practice. I have been told that I am gifted with presenting material in novel ways.

My tutoring experiences have been all throughout my life helping friends and family better understand mathematics. I've tutored for pay just once, one night a week for one year. This was while I was a student at Hampden-Sydney College; I worked through the College tutoring Calculus. Recently (in the past month), I've been helping a niece who is in the fourth grade and a friend who is a freshman in high school. I'm passionate about what I do because I've been through classes in subject matter that I struggled in or was disinterested in and I want to be able to help others feel more comfortable in math where they might be weak or unsure. I also realize that sometimes the issue is motivational not a matter of comprehension. Having also dealt with feeling a lack of motivation I desire to light a spark in those who I help to reach for their best.

My favorite part about teaching is the moment that something "clicks" within a child's mind. I am a problem solver naturally so I try to lead children down a path of discovery instead of just teaching the answer. I believe this helps children gain an understanding of how things work or why they are a certain way so that they are able to apply these same processes to other problems. I have earned two bachelor degrees, BS in Business Administration with a concentration in International Business and BA in Spanish. I have 10 years of professional experience involving customer service, Spanish translation, tutoring, and training. As an ex-patriate, I was afforded the opportunity to learn Spanish fluently and have witnessed first hand its importance in business and life today. I also have elementary age children that I assist in the everyday learning processes.

As a North Carolina Teaching Fellow, I tutored elementary through high school students in reading and math as I went through college. I have been teaching 7th grade math and science for the past eight years. The seventh grade curriculum has allowed me to master the misconceptions students have in areas of basic math, algebra, physics, earth, and life sciences. I have experience working with a wide range of students from students with special needs to gifted students and everyone in between! While teaching, I have tutored high school biology, AP biology, algebra, algebra 2, and geometry students. I love making learning fun and rewarding for students. My forte is in breaking down math and science concepts to basic understandable chunks, relating new information to prior knowledge,and teaching learning and test taking skills that can be applied to any subject. I believe students learn

Teaching comes easy to me because I was taught very well. In high school I was the president of the FTA club where we would go to local elementary and middle schools to educate children of all educational capacity and mental handicaps. Patience is a valuable skill I had to develop early on, as well as many others, in working with children. My teaching method is to first take the teaching subject(s) and break them down into correlating groups. Then I would see how I would explain that to someone who knows absolutely nothing about the subject. Then explain the material in a slow and efficient manner and repeat if necessary. I love working with children, young adults, and adults. I achieved the Eagle Scout Award in the Boy Scouts of America program and was selected by American Legion Post to attend North Carolina Tarheel’s Boy’s State in the summer of 2000. I graduated from the University

I like to work through each type of problem step by step creating a blue print of what the student should be doing to solve each type of problem. I then repeat this with another problem of the same type. I like to go through every type of problem like this while they write the steps of how to do the problem down and then try to solve each problem step by step. I like to emphasize that they write neatly so they can see clearly what they are doing and what they have done so they can quickly go back through the problem and check for mistakes. I have recently graduated from UNCW with a BS degree in chemistry. I have taken mainly math and science classes for the past three years. I have participated in many study groups and helped many other students who were in math and science classes by tutoring them.

At North Carolina State University, I was a teacher assistant for two years, explaining to the students how computers and intel assembly work. After I received my Bachelors, I was in University of North Carolina -- Wilmington's Watson School Program for a little over one semester, gaining field experiences in both becoming a teacher and a tutor. The different sets of experiences should prove valuable to me. My personal approach to teaching varies between student and student, situation and situation. Generally, I make sure I understand the specific lesson the student has to learn, and then ask them building block questions to make them come up with the answer. This is similar to AVID training, where the answers have to come from questioning each other. If technology is around, I prefer to also use that to explain the problems.

I enjoy teaching a lot. My favorite subjects are math and Russian. I feel, that I have a unique approach of explanation and I know how to make these subjects interesting to the students. I believe that all students can be good at math and foreign languages. Most of it depend on the teach.A teacher must love what he or she does, make the subject easy to understand and interesting to learn. I'm from Moscow, Russia. Moved to United States five years ago. I'm fluent in Russian and English. I have a business degree in marketing, graduated from University of North Carolina Wilmington. I have a strong understanding in many areas of math.

As a student in high school, I was intrigue by the concepts of math and science. I entered college seeking more knowledge in these subject areas. I received a BS in Chemistry in 1999 and later decided in my life that I wanted to share my passion of the subject areas with others. This is when I decided to pursue a teaching career. I received a dual certification in middle school mathematics and science in 2006. I have taught for the past four years as a certified teacher in the state of North Carolina in the Clinton City and New Hanover school districts. Currently I am pursuing a Master of Arts in Teaching and my expected date of completion is August 2010. Teaching has allowed me to personally understand the unique learning styles of individual learners as they face the challenges of standardized testing, a rigorous curriculum, and their social development. Teaching is not only a edu

I believe educating is a matter of connecting with students in order to learn how to break down complex concepts so they can understand. It really is a challenge I love and I get a great deal of satisfaction when I see that eureka moment. I believe the reason that some people do not enjoy science is that they never had a teacher who was excited about making these concepts accessible. Discoveries can be made by the student when the educator finds the "keystone" principal that ties all the information together. I received my BS in Biology from UNCW and for the last 15 years I have been an Environmental Chemist. Now, I am pursuing my true calling as an educator. It was a regular part of my job to teach and train new grad students and employees and also to do community outreach. In the latter role, I was guest lecturer on three occasions at Brunswick Community College and taught fourth

I am graduating from the University of NC Wilmington with a BS in Chemistry and minor in mathematics in May of 2010. I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education, since i came from a third world country where education is not available. so my experience and bachelor degree enable me to gain the understanding in many areas of math and science. Coming to this country and be able to go to school is very important for me, and i found it very difficult seeing many children not able to go to school because they have not motivation,even if they have the opportunity to go to school and be what they want.I believe education is very import in the 21st century and everybody should go to school and learning new experience and explore the different opportunity available for them, so i would like to help students learn about the value of education and help them gain the kn
