I have been teaching in various forms for over ten years. I was a teaching assistant for four semesters in graduate school. I mentored and tutored people during my time as a Naval officer. I worked for Kaplan Inc for about a year, teaching almost all of their tests, including SAT, ACT, MCAT, LSAT, GRE, and GMAT. I taught mathematics and statistics at Parkland College for three years. I am currently employed as a full-time instructor at a government laboratory...but I'd like to teach more, in the late afternoons, evenings, and weekends!

Every student is different. They all have different experiences and learning styles. Sometimes teachers can just try to explain concepts and ideas the way that they understand things. I like to first ask students questions to help me understand where they are, what they specifically do and do not understand. This helps me to figure out how to help the student. Also in my experience, teachers teach only one method of solving a specific problem and that way may not be easy for that student. I like to explain many methods so the student can choose the method he or she understands. Every student can achieve academic success. They just need someone who understands how they learn in order push them forward and give them the confidence they need. While attending Danville Area Community College from 2003 to 2005, I tutored middle school and high school students through a program called AVID (Adv

I enjoy tutoring, because I find that helping students learn, and perhaps come to appreciate something they find difficult, is a learning process for me as well. It is very rewarding to watch someone learn and understand something and to watch them become more independent in their studying. Also, I believe a tutor should be a good listener, so that they can better understand what each individual student needs. I strive to be an excellent listener and to be patient and understanding with my students. As much as I would hate to see them go, I also strive to teach students good study skills and to teach them to become more independent, so that they can teach themselves. As a student, I tutored a variety of math subjects (Algebra, Calculus, Statistics, etc.) to fellow university students. Collectively, I have over five years of experience tutoring math. In August 2010, I earned two bachelor

Having two wonderful elementary teachers, I was inspired to become a teacher. I graduated in 1988 with an Elementary Education degree. I began my career as a teacher's aide but soon decided to be a stay-at-home mom to my two children. In 1994, I began to home teach my three children. I graduated my youngest in 2008. In 2004, I substitute taught for two local school districts. In spring 2008 I renewed my teaching license. I received my first teaching job at a Christian school in Indianapolis where I taught first grade. The school downsized so I resigned allowing the tenured teachers to keep their jobs. (I was the last hired, therefore would have been the first to go). Since that time, I have been a substitute teacher and a tutor. I love teaching. I care deeply for my students and their individual learning needs. I am able to combine an inviting learning environment with good disciplinary

I enjoy the process of teaching itself. I find it a very rewarding experience to introduce others to a new and somewhat unusual way of looking at things when I teach about physics or mathematics. In many ways both can be confusing and to many seem counter-intuitive. This challenge makes it satisfying when students begin to understand the concepts and see them confirmed by real life. By directing students and using a gradual reduction of assistance on problems students build the confidence to tackle any kind of problem. In addition to teaching the knowledge necessary for handling a problem, I believe it is necessary to also teach the techniques for applying that knowledge to any problem. I have taught in many different formats in both mathematics and physics. At Purdue University, I ran a physics laboratory class as well as did tutoring in a help center for physics. Afterwords I ha

As someone who recently graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, I have taken numerous of math/science courses throughout my education career, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math and science. In addition, I have tutored students at various age groups. While I was volunteering at the New Life Volunteer Service from Jan 07 to Dec 07, I tutored middle school students on their math homework. When I worked at the Math Learning Center at University of Illinois at Chicago from Jan 07 to May 08, I assisted college students in the areas of algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus, differential equations and linear algebra. Throughout my tutoring experience, I noticed oftentimes, students wouldn’t be able completely grasp the concepts the first time when I explained to them. To resolve

My pre-medical school coursework allowed me to gain conceptual and hands-on understanding in the areas of inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, and biology. In addition to my scientific training, I enrolled in the Honors program with a concentration on Western Civilization. The curriculum that the Honors program offered took me through the writings of Homer to the films of Roman Polanski. I have gained extensive experience writing research papers, laboratory reports, book reviews, memoirs, fictional stories, and analytical critiques. During the last three years I have volunteered my time tutoring international students English. My class sizes ranged from 20 students to one-on-one sessions. I love teaching and working with children and adults alike. Everyone can learn; it is up to the teachers to find out how their students learn best. I was 14 years old when my younger

My vision is to help all students appreciate higher level of science and math education which I believe is a crucial component in the welfare and prosperity of our modern society. My background in earning a master of atmospheric science, bachelor of science degree in physics, radiation and applied physics with minor in mathematics has helped me grasp a well rounded and vast technical knowledge in the areas of science/math. I have a high level of experience in research, problem solving skills, laboratory skills and applications of science in the real world. I had two years of experience as a physics tutor and enjoyed sharing my passion and knowledge in science and math to my students. Albert Einstein has said, "It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge." The goal of my teaching style would to help bring joy in creative expression and knowledge

Studying in a top-tier university allow me to achieve extensively in education.My strength in academic and communication allow me to provide necessary academic support to individuals on multiple subjects such as statistics, economics and finance. I believe the experience of teaching others is also an experience for me to learn. I enjoy delivering my knowledge to others. From my past experience, I enjoyed not only the moments of sharing my understanding of certain subjects with others, but also helping others to develop better study habits and more importantly confidence in achieving higher level of academic performance. I believe the importance of giving students the fundamentals and then providing necessary guidance.

As a recreation major, I have held a number of jobs working with children of all ages. My first job as a lifeguard and swim instructor helped me understand how to work with children ages three to fifteen and really get a feel for how their brains operate and the proper learning styles to use for each age. Moving on to my job as a camp counselor and staff member at 4-H Memorial Camp in Monticello I really started to familiarize myself with young adults and the way they behave in different settings. I am a very laid-back, out going person but I never stray from the main goal at hand. I strive to help educate children the best way possible, and would like to make a difference in their life. My education growing up was very positive, and going to a smaller school enabled me to have one on one contact with my educators. I hope to allow the child to feel comfortable with me as a tutor and buil

Since I have worked with many different children and people I know that everyone is different. I am confident that I can figure out how someone learns best by trying different ways of teaching until we find the right way. I am very laid back but extremely motivated and I want to push people. I have realized that we all can do more than we think we can as long as we believe and never give up. As long as the child or person sees that someone believes in them then they will believe in themselves. I just graduated from Indiana University a semester early. I have a B.S. in chemistry with a math minor. During my college career I worked in a chemistry lab and this helped me learn and understand all aspects of chemistry and I trained 2 undergrads. I was also taught chemistry at after school programs and tutored students. I started tutoring math to people in high school but through college I t

I have always loved working with young people and helping them achieve their potential. I have worked with mainstream and honors students to behavior disorder and severely cognitively impaired youth. I believe there are no throw-away kids and that given the right environment and opportunities, all students can learn. My goal is to provide the best education possible and make my services become obsolete for each student. I like to assess how students learn best and proceed with that vein of educational style and couple it with projects. That is, I think students often learn best by doing and gaining experience with materials and real-life situations. I look forward to making a difference in the lives of each student placed in my path. I have a BS in psychology with a minor in biology from the University of Illinois. My focus has been on medicine and science, working in adult medical
