Email: juntak5@yahoo.com -- I have been teaching and/or tutoring statistics-related and research methods at undergraduate and graduate levels for many fields-of-study, especially Economics/Finance, Nursing, Sociology, Psychology, Education, and social sciences majors for several years. In addition, I help students with designing and writing analysis and method sections of their undergraduate and graduate level thesis/dissertation and editing their research/term papers. I use Microsoft Excel and SPPS for statistical analysis and have basic knowledge of eViews, Stata, SAS, and Minitab. However, SPSS is my strongest strength and most familiar with. I will also be very helpful, and useful to students who are currently writing-up their Master's Thesis, or PhD dissertation on their Graduate studies in School. I can be your proof-reader, and help you write some porti

I have over 10 years of experience in the education field with a special love for tutoring Mathematics. My experience is extensive as I ran my own tutoring business for 3 years doing mostly freelance work in college. The unique thing about my experience is that I have tutored ages 8-28 through my many recipients. I have a knack for getting children and adults excited to learn whether it is through motivation outside the subject area, or showing them that they can in fact do this. My teaching style is upbeat and positive. If I cannot be excited for my subject areas. Why should any student I tutor?

Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering - VMI 2007 Currently a Biomedical Engineering Graduate Student at VCU I am very proficient in most maths, sciences, and especially tissue engineering concepts. I can help with virtually any science or math problem, if it's a higher-level issue I would just ask that you give me a day or so to review your particular problem.

I am a graduate from Randolph College formally known as Randolph Macon Woman's College. Currently I am working on obtaining an additional degree in Chemistry. I have taken classes in advanced mathematics, biology, chemistry and physics. As a person labeled LD I understand and have developed techniques to learn material. These experiences helped me tutor others in math and science. I believe that anyone can learn any subject if you give them the proper tools. Setting goals and meeting them is only part of the battle, Knowing what when wrong and how to fix it is the other half. Living with an LD gives me an appreciation of the time it can take to learn; and that not everyone can learn in the same way. I prefer a hands-on and organized teaching style where I can make connections to real world examples. However, I do know that each child is an individual and learns differently.

As a flexible and understanding tutor, I will be fully engaged in trying to help my students learn their new material and pay attention for any gaps in their basic knowledge of the subject that I can help to fix. Since I am laid back and patient, tutoring will be a low stress environment, which is something that I believe is essential to learning effectively. While I am a friendly and easy-going person, I also will be focused on keeping my students working to achieve the goals planned for our sessions. I am ready to help you succeed! I love learning and understanding new concepts and ideas. So while attending Emory & Henry college I was excited about tutoring at the local school to help Children gain a better grasp on the things they were learning in class. After graduating with Bachelors degrees in Math and Physics, I wanted to continue to learn more and keep passing on what I had learn

As a Citadel graduate I was taught how to be a great leader. I have great organizational skills, analytical skills, and I know how to work with diverse groups. I understand the importance of helping others in the best way possible to help them achieve their personal goals. I love working with all age groups. I understand that everyone has a different style inwhich they learn things. What I try to do is learn everyones learning style and teach in according to what will make the most logical sense to help them learn new subjects. Teaching others is very interesting to me.

My teaching style is tailored to the individual. The first thing I do when I'm trying to teach someone something is determine their learning style. If they don't know it I help them figure it out. I do find that most people learn best by diving in and doing it themselves first, while I serve as a "safety net". Whenever I was teaching new helmsmen or junior officers how to steer survey lines, I would direct them how to do it the first few times, and then when they felt ready to try it themselves, I stood back and let them, not stepping in until the absolute last second. Letting them make and try to correct their own mistakes seemed to be the best teaching tool I had. As a NOAA Corps Officer, I helped teach new personnel many facets of our day-to-day operations, from instructing new officers on getting their Officer of the Deck qualifications to preparing new survey techs for their hydrogr

I have earned a BS in Computer Science, with a very strong math minor. It would have been a double major, but third-year theoretical math stopped being fun (and computers were still fun). However, math up to and including first year calculus was both straightforward and mostly fun. I have worked with computers, systems administration and programming, since graduation, but I have lost none of the math I learned as high as high school algebra and geometry and basic calculus. I enjoy teaching and explaining many things to individuals and small groups, of all ages, although my tutoring experience is somewhat limited. I can communicate in different styles with different people, based on how I see they can learn most effectively. Seeing the "Aha!" expression when a student has grasped a topic, especially when he or she has been frustrated, is one of my greatest rewards. Especially in math, I b

Extensive background in people oriented environments from engineering, academia, counseling, and law enforcement. My stong points include caring and compassion for success of others and positive motivation to achieveable dreams. Twenty years experience in engineering related occupations, ten years in teaching and academia, and some form of counseling since undergraduate school in early 1980's. I love seeing the light go off in their heads written on their faces. My experience has included helping children that failed previously with other teachers prove to themselves they can succeed. My teaching style includes positive re-enforcement and focused repeatition of the subject matter until success has been achieved. Small levels of success lead students to get excited about the possibilities.

I have earned two bachelor degrees, BS in Accounting and BS in Chemistry, which has enabled me to gain knowledge in many areas of math and science. I have taught at the high school level for three years, which included courses in Chemistry and Physics. I have also performed private tutoring for college students. I believe a good educator must understand that all students have different learning styles. It is my job as an educator to help each student reach acaemic success and to provide the best education possible.

Visual explanation and simple repetition are the most successful tools to help a child learn. I am patient and calm with students but not afraid of discipline. Before college I was a summer camp counselor for three years and part-time babysitter; jobs that taught me how to work with children. I hope to improve a child's life through improving education. In the past year I have graduated with a double major and passed the Society of Actuaries' Probability exam. My experience in finding effective study techniques and quickly understanding new material allows me to explain subjects to others as directly as possible. I am determined to make the most of each hour of every day.
