Experienced math tutor

I believe that all students can learn with a patient tutor. Many of my students find math frustrating but I have the ability to break all concepts down to the most basic elements and build from there. I also encourage questions and being comfortable asking questions to facilitate the learning experience. I have tutored math and history for years at all levels from middle school through college. I have a bachelors degree from UNC-Chapel Hill and a masters degree from Rutgers University. I find it very rewarding to teach students and help them overcome their academic challenges. Many students struggle with math due to bad teaching or fear. My success lies in getting to the root of the issue and building from there. A calculus professor once told me that the only way you learn math is by doing math. Therefore, I encourage lots of practice to ensure that concepts are being understood by ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy seeing students develop an understanding of mathematical concepts and methods. I try to avoid lecturing, but have students come up with the methods of solving problems by themselves (with occasional hints or pointing in the right direction by me). I also emphasize problem solving and developing problem solving skills. One of my mentors taught me the mantra, "When you can solve one problems, you can solve hundreds just like it." I try to encourage students to organize the information they know and the mathematical tools they know and then to take a step-by-step approach to solving the problems. I also recognize that different explanations work with different students and, as much as possible, work with individuals.
I have 36 years experience as a practicing actuary, including 21 years in consulting. As a consultant, I developed the ability to explain mathematical conce ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a strong interest in mathematics in the areas of algebra, geometry, and statistics. I have completed 9 credits of statistics and 6 credits of algebra. I can also tutor in business and psychology. I have been working with in academia for the past 3 years and am working towards becoming an adjunct-faculty at the local college.
I find enthusiasm and interest in the subject taught is very important. If I can convey the interest and fun that I get from working problems and show it through my teaching, students who fear or hate math or any subject tend to rethink their position from a disabled frame of mind to one that exudes confidence in their approach.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a highly qualified/certified fourth-fifth grade teacher. I have a Masters in Elementary Education in grades K-8. I have six years of successful experience teaching students in these grades. During the 2009-2010 school year, my students' third and fourth grade AIMS scores contributed to the school reaching its goal as a "Performing" School, which is recognized by the "Arizona Learns" standards. During the 2006-2007 school year, my elementary students' AIMS scores contributed the 38 percent of the increase needed for the school to reach its goal of making "Adequate Yearly Progress". As a teacher, I was publicly recognized in the spring of 2007 by the School District's Governing Board for that accomplishment.
I absolutely love teaching children of all ages. Every student is capable of success and I do not take the responsibility of reaching a child's absolute maximum ligh ... read more

My teaching style is highly interactive. I developed and taught an undergraduate seminar at UCLA that was based on role-playing and critical thinking of historical events through intense discussion among students. As a tutor, I ask my students a lot of questions in order to tease out their knowledge and opinion on the subject. I believe that I do not have any right answers but I do have access to resources that will enable students to find the answers that are right for them. My teaching style leads to measurable results by focusing on the process of learning.
Due to my strong researching and writing skills, I was able to graduate from UCLA with a double major in three years. I have taught college-level classes at UCLA as well as tutored both high school and college students for the past 3 years in English composition and the writing process. My interest in Political Science and Gl ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Since I was first a high school graduate, I have been fascinated with education and helping young people. Whether it was volunteering as a coach, working as a resident's assistant, giving tours on campus, working at summer camps, or working with students with disabilities I have supplemented my collegiate career with teaching experience. This was most evident by the 19-month teaching/tutoring mission which I went on for my church. I love teaching and I intend to do so for my entire life!
My core teaching ideals come from the motto, "a child needs love most when he least deserves it". In our society, too many people look for reasons to help others. For me, working with children is my duty to them. It is my duty to understand that each child is different and therefore needs differentiated instruction. As I strive to focus on positive reenforcement with my students, I give them ... read more

I find it very rewarding to be a part of a childs education. I have an enormous amount of patience and a desire to see individuals do well and help them reach their goals and exceed their expectations. I have been working as a Substitute Teacher for the past four years and have held quite a few long term assignments at the request of several licensed educators. I am currrently working as a private tutor for two sixth graders who attend an online acedemy and are working on extra credit assignments to elevate their grades for the end of the acedemic year.
I love children and enjoy seeing their faces light up when something "clicks". I believe in being both consistent and flexible because all children want to know that your are going to be there for them and no child learns the same way. I am extremely comfortable around children of all age groups and especially like teaching child ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Every child has his/her own unique style of learning. Some children are visual learners while others are auditory learners. My job is to identify each child's best learning method in order to maximize their success. I am patient, structured, and am an encourager. I believe all children can learn. I have high expectations, while at the same time never demand more than a child can give. My job is to foster a love of learning and reading, never to frustrate a child. I love all levels of education, especially the upper elementary grades through high school.
I graduated from an Ivy-League school with honors. I earned a masters in social work from the University of Chicago, with an interdisciplinary emphasis in economics, public policy, social work, and law. I have a J.D. from the George Washington University Law School. I have practiced law as well as taught and tutored junior h ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I believe that the possibilities of learning are incredible, especially with understanding the tools of both teaching and learning whether that is textbooks, computers, or something else. It is important to ascertain how a student learns, and adjust to them. I’ve discovered in my teaching of children that it is critical to create a foundation of understanding then build upon it through repetition of the basic ideals while adding to what is already established. Children are amazingly open to new ideas, and take on new challenges with excitement, so it is my job as instructor to guide them in their journey. I also feel that early learning is fundamental to the way individuals learn later in life, so helping children learn how to overcome obstacles becomes a way of expanding their educational possibilities.
Throughout my higher educational career, I’ve been driven to learn as much ... read more

I very much enjoy teaching and helping students with positive activities. Success is very imperative, and fun and interesting methods encourage the student's performance. Encouragement is very important to help the student attain a positive attitude about their abilities. Tieing in current event helps the student relate to the real world as it applies to them, and the value of being informed. The students must know that you care about them as a person, and are willing to help them attain their goals.
