Although instructors/tutors have a preferred teaching style, I will often mix in some elements of other styles. If I wish to take a more open approach to my teaching, I include a blend of various styles which is very effective. Teacher-centered, where the teacher is expert and authority in presenting information works well with students who need little direction from the instructor, and/or those who accept responsibility for their own learning. While in other situations, I will take a learner-centered approach thus viewing my role as more of a facilitator of student learning. In 1999-2000, I provided highly individualized, one-on-one instruction in the client's homes while working with a local tutoring company. I am an experienced educator and state certified instructor with impeccable credentials and a heartfelt enthusiasm for teaching. More recently, I have tutored adults participating

My approach is a little different using humor to destress students. I believe in each student understanding the underlying concepts via instruction, physical materials and hands-on activities. I have a lot of patience. I love working with different and even difficult and shy students. I am a seasoned veteran tutor, and I enjoy, no love, mentoring, teaching, volunteering, training, or instructing almost as a hobby! I am especially passionate about career education and counseling as well as psychology and mathematics. Oooh and English too! I enjoy playing guitar and writing, also playing and instructing playing soccer.

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

Teaching is one of my gift which i started early while was in elementary school.I love to see a child successful in his education.I know the best strategies for different kinds of children to listen their teachers with a concentration with the purpose of achieving the best education for your child with the innovative approach and technologies. I have earned a bachelor degree in statistics and minored in mathematics which helped me to work in many financial and technology companies.I was working for bank for 7 years in different 7 positions and working on database software.In addition to these, i was tutoring college 1st year students in mathematics, statistics and economics.I was also tutoring high school students from grade 9-12 in Mathematics and Physics.

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 concepts to

I just graduated from Arizona State University with a BS in Biochemistry (Medicinal Chemistry) and received a minor in Biology. I have logged over 100 credit hours in ASU’s science departments while meeting the Dean’s List requirements. Growing up, my parents always emphasized the importance of giving back to your community and I also believe a career in science and education is the best way to do that. My hard work and dedication has not just been applied to academia, but also to my extracurricular activities. I have been a leader of a student-run university service organization for the past two years and a member of several others. I have donated my time in spearheading countless organizations and community volunteering events. I aspire to be a tutor who is engaging with the student. Teaching AT the student is something I will not do. I will require my students to utilize their o

I am a meteorologist and have worked in many sectors including Radio, TV and Aviation. I currently run an online retail business using the eBay platform. I also have substitute teaching experience on the Middle and High School levels. Through the 1990's I consistently was called each week to sub at various schools in the Hartford, CT area. I have tutored privately on occasion since graduating college. My math background consists of levels through calculus, any earth science and physics. I can also can be of assistance to computer related courses depending on the topic. I like teaching one-on-one but I do have classroom experience from substitute teaching. I teach by example and encourage the student to ask as many questions as possible. I typically will not go to another topic until the current one is understood. In terms of teaching math, my style incorporates less use of a calculator a

My teaching style is dependent on the student. With some students I find that they just need initial guidance from me before I let them be independent with their assignments. With other students I have found that they need me to hold their hand, so to speak, during the whole process. When that is the case I make sure that the student does not feel inadequate by having me walk them through each assignment. Since I am a graduate student I also implement various ways I learn with the students I teach. I will use auditory and visual modalities of teaching in order to help them develop various senses while they learn. Currently I am in two graduate programs in the medical field, naturopathic medicine and acupuncture. I feel very confident in my math and sciences.

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 as po

My interests and abilities in mathematics, physics, soccer, cycling, and triathlon is a result of developing in a gender-free environment. My upper-level college mathematics courses were my first experience with just how much women were underrepresented in the sciences. I was genuinely intimidated and surprised by the lack of females in my classes. During those years, I questioned my ability more often than not. Although I did not earn straight A’s, I did learn that I am equally as able to succeed in mathematics as the males that continue to surround me. I can now take on challenges and overcome gender stereotypes that would limit most women. I was fortunate to learn that gender, race, religion, etc. does not dictate where one succeeds. I enjoy making mathematics understandable to anyone. Often times I work with students who are overwhelmed by mathematics “foreign language” and are just

I enjoy teaching kids as it also gives me an opportunity to learn a lot from them. In a way by asking doubts they make me think in a different way thereby improving my skills also. I believe that each child has it in him/her to achieve great heights, and sometimes they require a tutor to give them the push to achieve it. I strongly believe that I can give the push they need and make them achieve their goals in life. As a Mechanical Engineering graduate, I have always been interested in learning the different concepts of mathematics used in the design of machines. I have a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering which helped me in understanding many areas of maths and science. I also have a Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering from Syracuse University which further advanced my goals.

During the five years I tutored college students in Illinois, I learned alot of teaching styles that my students liked. I always try to explain the subject in a way that makes it easy for the student to learn fast. Sometimes I use visual aids to explain difficult lessons. I also try to explain the subject in different ways and let the student decide which way is easier. I have always liked learning chemistry and math. They were my favorite subjects, and I always get "A" on these subjects. I tutored college students in Illinois for the past 5 years. I enjoyed the tutoring experience and my students liked my teaching style.

My teaching style insures that no student goes without understanding what was taught. If we can relate every theoretical problem to something practical, everybody can understand even the most complex problem. I believe its the way we teach that will make the difference. I am very grateful to be a part of developing future generations. I strive to make every student successful with his/her mathematical abilities. In my daily work, I solve mathematical and analytical problems everyday. I graduated from Arizona State University with a Masters Degree in Electrical Engineering. I have always been interested in teaching mathematics, and it has always been my hobby. I have excelled in teaching mathematics and have a very good knowledge of Calculus, Algebra, and Trigonometry.
