Geometry Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Southport, NC

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

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. 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.

Most of the struggling students i have encountered seem to have a low confidence in themselves that interferes with their studies. I believe this is due to the manner in which students are tested; in order to fully understand a concept, the student has to be able to explain the concept and its application in his/her own words. By starting from the basic concept of the field of study and working up, the student can acquire real knowledge of the subject. This practice involves patience and kindness on the part of the tutor as well as a certain measure of creativity and flexibility in the teaching approach. I started my college education in a community college, where i met many struggling students trying to improve their career opportunities. As a peer tutor at that school and in the jobs i have held since, I have developed a appreciation for the satisfaction that comes from assisting p

Since graduating with my Chemistry degree in 1997, I have volunteered off and on within the classroom, mentoring and tutoring children of all ages. I have several younger siblings and children of my own, so I have taken the many opportunities to go in and out of the classroom as a classroom parent, after school program teacher, guest speaker, and mentor and judge for the Future City competition (an annual engineering competition for middle school children). My industry is nuclear. I have taken many opportunities to speak with students about considering the nuclear field and sharing my own experiences in the industry. My teaching style is adaptive. I believe everyone has the capacity to learn. The approach to learning is what makes the difference. Being a mother, I love children and am very patient. I also know that kids have their own distinct personalities and I address each child as

I encourage learning by incorporating class discussions, including multiple visual aides as well as circulating continuously to offer individual assistance and provide an opportunity for students to ask open ended questions. I am very comfortable in both a classroom atmosphere as well as one on one private tutoring sessions. I have been very successful at accommodating diverse student needs by facilitating all styles of learners, offering individualized and extracurricular support and integrating materials effectively. I am a dedicated graduate student at the Univeristy of North Carolina Wilmington, where I earned a BS in Biology with a minor in Chemistry and am finishing my MS in Chemistry. I have had over two years experience tutoring in the sciences and leading my own classroom through general chemistry and organic chemistry lecture briefings and laboratory experiments.

I first started tutoring while attending NCSSM, a state funded boarding school for the "best and brightest" students in North Carolina. I went on to continue tutoring at NC State University, where I took a formal class on tutoring to better my abilities, and tutored non-physics major students, including one with a learning disability. After gaining a B.A. in Creative Writing and minor in physics, I moved to Florida where I obtained my teaching certificate for physics, grade 6-12. I tutored while looking for a job, helping younger children in math. While I have only specifically tutored math and physics in the past, I have the ability to also tutor entry level chemistry as well as literature and writing. I make a point to have fun with my students, and my teaching style relies heavily upon real world examples that my students can both relate to and enjoy. I stand firmly against simply giv

I have always enjoyed transferring knowledge to either a single student or an audience. It is a wonderful feeling knowing that you were able to provide information that was perceived as valuable. With respect to teaching/tutoring, I am patient, probing, and respectful. I see my goal as a tutor as (1) to identify the specific needs of the student, (2) to ensure that these needs have been addressed for that subject, and (3) to ensure the student gained confidence in their ability to be tested in all areas of that subject. I have found that I am most effective when working 1 on 1 or with small groups. As a retired research scientist from major pharmaceutical company, I have enjoyed teaching coworkers about the technology and scientific skills needed to excel in performing their job. I have given lectures to a variety of audiences, from medical students to college students. My experi

I have found a great place in teaching, especially tutoring, due to my desire to help other people. I enjoy walking students through new information and giving them a firm understanding of the concepts and facts. I believe that there is nothing outside of a students grasp. I present the information straight forward, then use analogies and metaphors to relate the information to the students on a different level, giving them a more solid comprehension of the material. Seeing the student not only succeed, but retain the information and a confidence over the knowledge is the most rewarding experience. I finished high school with a high aptitude for Math and Science. I enjoyed AP Calculus, Ap Biology, Anatomy and Physiology, and Advanced Chemistry. After a year as an Engineering Major, I decided to switch to Music Education. I have a degree in Music Education. In Arizona I received my

I have a B.S. in Chemistry from West Virginia University. Throughout my college years, I helped friends and students understand concepts they were having trouble with, and frequently participated in study groups. I am thorough and try to relate subject matter to the unique individual being tutored. It is sometimes necessary to the present the subject material differently than the child's teacher has. I will be patient and willing to stay until the child understands.

As a graduate from western Carolina University, I earned my BS in Criminal Justice in three years and am close to gaining my MS in Human Services. I have been working in the human service field as a case manager/community support worker. Although it is not thought of as a teaching job, I have had the pleasure of teaching children and adults basic skills, academic skills and assisting with homework. The homework assistance ranged from 3rd grade to highschool. I was able to assist one of my students with improving his reading score in a semester. I would like to think that my education and experience with research, reports and studies could verify my qualifications. I love everything about working with children. I believe that everyone can learn if taught in the manner in which they can understand. I believe a teacher/tutor should try to adapt and change their methods to assist and engage

I am currently a substitute teacher in the New Hanover County school system. I have 4+ years teaching in middle school and high school classes. I have prepared and taught classes during my previous career with the Federal Government to adults. My major in Biology gave me a strong background in the sciences and math. I have always found these subjects interesting as well as essential for success in work. I try and communicate my enthusiasm for these subjects to my students. I relate well to youngsters and teenagers and they respond by treating them as responsible young people. As a parent of two adult sons, I have had the opportunity to work with youngsters at all stages of their development. In addition, I have always been involved in various young activities including Little League baseball, cub scounts, youth soccer etc. I believe that setting a good example of appropriate

I am a licensed high school math teacher with eight years of public high school teaching experience. I have taught algebra I, algebra II, geometry, AP calculus AB, and seventh grade math. I am currently teaching in a private school and have extensive tutoring experience. As a teacher, I work hard to enable my students to be successful, and I expect them to work just as hard. I enjoy working with my students, and particulary enjoy tutoring as it allows me to really get to know my students and tailor instruction to meet their needs. Most problems can be solved in a variety of ways, and if one approach doesn't work with a student, then I show the student another way. I am patient and a good listener.
