Teacher Cert Exams Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Springfield, TN

Having graduated with a degree in mathematics and extensive work in engineering, I was positioned me for pursuits along technical and analytical exercises while bringing in insight beyond the rigidity of science alone. I have applied these skills in areas of I.T (electronic data interchange long before it was common place), research (developed database of metellurgy alloys for NASA), as well as public health (perform statistical analyses of unintentional injury (for CDC effort) and trauma for the state of TN). I have privately tutored many who have come to me, admitedly because of their own "struggle" with math. Testimonials of a few are available. I emphasize the learning of concepts and understanding to the extent that the student is able to teach them back to me as a validation to themselves that they have grasped the idea of the moment. Learning is progressive. Each student has h

My teaching style varies with student learning styles. Although drill may be appropriate for some skills, my preference is project or problem based methods that draw on the learner's experiences and interests. I work from students' current skill levels, provide challenging problems, model successful learning skills, encourage students' to express creativity and intuition, and employ formative and normative assessments. I firmly believe that more advanced mathemtaics can be taught to younger and more diverse students. I believe that all students, of all skill levels, can learn mathemtaics if creatively taught.
