College Algebra Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Spokane, WA

My experience comes from study groups and my own time as a student. Every student is an individual with different strengths and styles of learning. I believe building on the students strengths and adapting material to be presented to students to best match their leaning styles allows for the most success.

As a math major, I tutored my peers throughout college. While I can tutor almost any math subject and several science subjects, my favorite subject to teach is algebra. I have found that those who struggle with higher math, including calculus and differential equations, often struggle due to lacking a solid foundation in algebra. If I can help you succeed in algebra, it will set you up well for future math and science courses.

I completed my Bachelor of Science degree in Education with a mathematics major from Northern State University at Aberdeen, South Dakota. Being a continual learner, I also completed a broadfield science endorsement in Montana. Twelve years teaching experience has given me extensive opportunities teaching secondary mathematics and science to various cultures in Alaska, Montana, and South Dakota. As a culturally sensitive teacher, I have dealt with many learning styles in a patient manner. As a graduate instructor at Eastern Washington University at Cheney, Washington, I have also taught college level algebra. To listen is to learn; this goes hand-in-hand with asking questions. In order to learn, one has to process information at his own pace. Questions are sometimes more important than answers. I also believe a seed can be planted along the way. In other words, as one proceeds lea

Children and adults learn in different ways. Visual, auditory, kinesthetic are three ways that people can learn, I happen to be mostly kinesthetic. I alter how I teach depending on what my students need and what the resources are. I do use a constructivist teaching style to do this. I do believe that a student rises to the expectations of the instructor. I also believe that the responsibility of learning should be increasingly the students as they take over their own education away from the instructor. While the instructor is giving over the job of education to the student they should still contribute to broadening the students knowledge horizons by offering challenges. When I was a kid I used to ask questions about things. My questions were usually of the natural sciences bent. I was eight. As an adult, knowing I was going to have a daughter, I discovered that I needed to be respecte

I love teaching with children and adults. I know it is a blessing to teach, and I am always proud to do it. I am very patient and easy going. During all these times I was teaching, I made a considerable difference in many people lives. I uses many tactics to make the learning process very easy for my students. I was born in a french country where I studied in French for over 18 years, and I went to France to study for 1 year, and later I moved to the United States. My writing and speaking in both French and English are superior. I taught mathematics in my native country for 5 years, and I taught french at Spokane community college for the academic year of 2006-2007. I can teach mathematics and french.

My teaching experience actually extends back to high school where not only did I tutor fellow students in math and chemistry but I also taught swim lessons as my part time job. More recently I tutored students in the chemistry study center at the University of Washington. Furthermore, anyone who attends a University knows that being a successful active learner involves studying in groups where you teach others and others teach you. As a teacher or tutor it is very important to realize that everybody learns differently. Because of this you have to strive to find the way your student learns and utilize creative ways to make sure the student understands what you are teaching to them. In my experience I have used pictures, words, books, varying explanations, and multiple examples to teach.

I have always felt that everyone can learn. I recognize that for some there are more obstacles to overcome and it may take more time and energy, but I still believe they are capable. I have come across many students that have somehow got it in their mind that they "just can't do math" and not once have I seen this to be true. It is encouraging and exciting to see students grow in confidence and skill as they recognize their true capability. I enjoy tutoring because it provides the opportunity to focus on a child's individual needs and experiences. I am patient and encouraging and have an infectious love for math. My aim is for students to not only acquire math skills but to enjoy it along the way as well. For the past five years I have had the pleasure of teaching at an international school overseas. Due to the size of the school, I taught various levels of math at the secondary

I earned a Bachelors degree in accounting, with clusters in Finance and Spanish. I have work experience in auditing, tax and financial analysis. Currently I am working on an MBA, and plan to begin a doctoral program in 2011 as I prepare to become an accounting professor. I worked as a youth counselor for three summers, teaching teenagers from age 14-18. I love teaching, which is why I have chosen to teach accounting as a career. Anyone can learn any skill that they are willing to work at. I personally prefer to learn by doing, so that is also how I teach. When a student works through examples, discussing how concepts apply, that application of the concept helps to solidify the knowledge. I am patient when teaching, and I believe that a relaxed environment is best for learning. Communication is the key to both teaching and learning.

As a junior and senior finance major, I routinely tutored fellow classmates in several finance and business courses. As a junior I showed many of my classmates how to excel in several areas of business, such as, finance, accounting, human resources, and management. As a senior I tutored many of my friends and colleagues in many finance courses, such as, portfolio management, financial engineering, and personal finance. I've never tutored for pay, which shows how dedicated I am to helping people achieve their academic goals. My teaching style is very simple, it's teaching people the concepts at hand in a manner they can understand, because some texts and instructions can be very confusing and over explained. I enjoy making complex concepts seem easy to my students and love to watch them apply them to any problem. Once, I get my students thinking in the right manner they can solve any

In addition to my education and work experience, my teaching style derives primarily from my experience as a High School football coach. Coaching at all levels from middle school to high school has given mea unique perspective on seeing how different students learn and comprehend things. My particular style would most likely be described as a learn by doing approach by finding connections to similar situations and working through them. As an individual with business field experience and a bachelor degree, I have gained a wide array of experience. I have written all forms of papers, documents, and instructions as well as designed statistics, and testing methods. Statistics, Business Acumen, Organization, and a wide range of computer software are my primary skills.

My teaching style is to assess each person's learning style and build my lessons around their individual style. Some people are more visual others are more hands on. I tailor my lessons and assistance to their individual needs. I have significant work experience as a controller for a large manufacturer with over 500 employees and $75 million in revenue. In addition I have experience as a CFO for a non profit with 30 employees. I have tutored numerous MBA students in accounting, finance, and management courses.

My teaching style is based around being able to adapt to the individual student(s) and help them overcome their areas of improvement. The goal of a good tutor should not just be to get their students finish their assignments, but to help the students understand the fundamentals of whatever discipline they are studying. This MUST be a significant sphere of focus because students need a good foundation to continue their academic progression. Giving students the belief that they can understand any academic concept as long as they stay focus keeps them engaged in the overall educational process. Moreover, students that already have a firm grasp on the field of study learn to do it more efficiently and enhance their knowledge/creativity on the subject matter. I have tutored others ever since I can remember helping out my peers. Teachers believed that I had an ability of not just understan

I love teaching, and I strongly believe that teaching is the student's assistance of discovery. Any student can learn what they put their heart into, and all they need is motivation. I love to motivate and help students to be excited about learning. I am very laid back, patient, and easy going. I have recently have earned a BS degree in Electrical Engineering and a minor in Mathematics in DEC 2009. I have helped and still currently tutor my younger brother through his calculus courses. I work very well in teaching and working with others. I have taught martial arts self defense and discipline for over 10 years in Wind Fist Kung Fu as an instructor. I am very ambitious and I look forward to tutoring students in the subjects of pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, calculus, calculus II, and physics. I am also willing to tutor college students pursuing EE degrees in t
