Computer Programming Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Swepsonville, NC

I graduated from Mount Union College in May 2006 with a BA in History and a double minor in Adoloescent to Young Adult Education and American Studies. Throughout high school I was a teacher's assistant helping with students in class during my study halls as well as working one on one with students for extra study skills. In the past few years I have tutored students in elemtary math, middle school reading and writing, and even my own students before and after school in social studies. I currently teach Civics and Economics which is an EOC course and I have taught this for 6 years now. Throughout those 6 years I have been able to successfully teach my students how to pass standardized tests and overcome testing anxiety. I love tutoring students because through my experience I have learned that one on one time can be really beneficial to all students. During this time I am able to really t

Web manager and usability analyst as well as instructor. I have been asked at various jobs to teach training classes to my peers because of my ability to deliver an easy to understand lesson. I've been told I am very good at explaining a topic that someone has no experience with at all. I am on contract with NC States Computer Training Unit. I try to find the teaching style that is going to work for the student. Are they visual? Do they need to touch to learn? Finding out how to teach them and then helping them learn skills for independent study are just as important as the material.

It depends on the student and what they are doing. If all they need is practice, then I will let the student do all of the work, interjecting only to give advice or to correct a mistake if the student does not catch it themselves. If needed, I will work out similar problems. If the student needs help understanding, I first go in depth why it works and why you do what you do. I then give concrete examples to demonstrate it so that the why makes sense and comes together with the actual application. Then I have the student practice to make sure they truly understand. If needed, I will become creative and come up with different ways of looking at problems so that they can make sense. But no matter what I try to have fun. The best way to learn is to have fun, and if you aren't enjoying yourself you probably won't be receptive to learning. I have been tutoring at Forsyth Technical Comm

As an UNCC graduate, I got the opportunity to obtain a broad and in-depth knowledge in the field of Electronic Engineering. I earned a BS and an MS in Electronic Engineering which gave me the opportunity of gain an understanding in the areas of math and science, including Calculus, Differential Equations, Statistics, Physics and Quantum Physics. In addition, I have been able to use this knowledge in the past ten years and apply it in the industry, exercising problem solving skills in the engineering field. While I was in college, I worked as a Tutor helping other college students in the areas of Math and Physics. During the last three years, I have tutored students in the area of Math, Physics and Spanish. I have also experience in preparing people for the Spanish Praxis exam. My native language is Spanish and I completely fluent in both Spanish and English. I enjoy teaching and help oth

All who wish to learn have but to ask for help. I believe anyone can learn anything they want and that no one deserves to be told otherwise. In tutoring math, the individual needs to have their homework present and, if available, old/recent tests so they may learn from the past as well as the present. Math adds unto itself, so understanding previous rules and equations are necessary for applying them to future classes. Once the basics are covered properly, seeing to the need for current classes will become much easier and enjoyable. I tutor by example, or refining what has been taught, in such a way that the individual can understand math in day to day events, or how its applied to his/her interests. Though I am a student of Biotechnology, helping others in the field of mathematics has been of interest in that its a common “language” worldwide. Prior to completing my General Arts d

I have mentored and taught students in different settings for at least 8 years. I have a BS in Technical Management. Basically I am a business manager that is also a computer expert. I currently work as a contractor for a company in Chapel Hill. I am also pursuing my MBA in Finance. My teaching style varies depending on the level of the student and also the students approach to learning. I mostly believe in an interactive way of teaching. I like this style because it engages the student and keeps them interested in what you are trying to teach them

I have earned two bachelor degrees (computer science and secondary education) and an MBA with an emphasis in Accounting. I possess 8 years of total teaching experience, as well as over 16 years of relevant work experience in business and accounting. This has enabled me to gain superior understanding in many areas of business and finance. I have trained numerous staff members and subordinates in private industry. I believe teaching come very natural to me, and I love to see young people excel. I love teaching and working with young people. I am patient, laid back, and use humor wherever possible. I seek to utilize real world examples to relate to the subject matter with which the student is struggling. I try to show support to the struggling student. I believe a few good caring teachers can make a world of difference in a young person's life.

I am a very patient person, a trait which I believe is very beneficial for a tutor to possess. I am always patient when teaching, and in doing so have succeeded in getting my point across. I like to pass on small tricks and acronyms that I have came up with for many things, some of which I have still retained to this day for my own personal use, not just for school work. Since I am an engineering student, I have always been interested and excelled in math and science, so I have tutored many kids in all areas of science and mathematics. I have also tutored in Spanish and French. Last year, I worked with a young man who had dyslexia. I have helped kids of all ages, whether at the elementary, high school, or collegiate level.

While in high school, I tutored another student for several months. On the California Achievement Test in Advanced Mathematics my score was 800. This qualified me for the advanced calculus course. In the third year of the course, things changed. We started from scratch, and learned point set topology as the basis for calculus. In the following two weeks, we proved half the theorems from the previous two years. While working for U.C. Davis, I volunteered to teach a course on computer programming, to eighth graders. While on the staff of Duke University, I taught classes on how to use computers. During my several decades of employment, I have often needed both to teach, and to learn from, my peers. First, find out where students stand. And, where they're going. In college, friends asked for help with their calculus homework. But, methods from my courses, did not work

My teaching style is a mixture of direct instruction and discovery based learning whose components depend on the student(s) at hand. I've been known to make generalized lesson plans and improvise as I go, because every class is different, and too strict of a plan is destructive and boring for the students. Students typically need things explained to them in many different ways to garner a solid understanding of any topic, but especially upper level math and physics. Therefore, I pride myself on using any props, explanations, or examples that I can come up with to get the point across. At the same time, I tailor each lesson to the speed of the student(s) and the time constraints of the situation, varying the amount of direct vs. discovery learning accordingly, and making sure that the lines of communication between myself and the student are wide open so I can continually assess their

I developed some tricks and techniques on my own which have really helped me in solving problems very fast. I will be happy to share some with the student if he/she is willing to learn. The student needs to be hard working because I am not there to give them a magic formula to solve problems. They will be able to learn to apply their analytical abilities and solve problems with proper reasoning. I have rarely used textbooks in Math, the only reason I used books was to find more problems to solve. I am a highly skilled math student, with a degree in computer science from Clemson University. I have about 2 years of private tutoring experience in Math where I taught the student from Freshman to Junior year in high school. I really love sharing my ideas with students and help them learn the subject efficiently.

Children have many different learning styles, and as an educator it is my job to discern which approach works best for each individual. In teaching math, I believe that all children learn best with a hands-on approach. Providing real-world examples and manipulatives that children can pick up, touch, and move around should be used at all levels – from kindergarten through high school. Doing so helps the student see the problem as more than abstract numbers on a page. I am also driven to help children maintain their natural curiosity and desire to learn. Learning is a life-long process; and there is nothing more rewarding than helping a child succeed and keeping that drive alive. Having spent 20 years in the Information Technology field, I recently made the decision to change careers to pursue a life-long dream of teaching. I began college as an education major, but due to life circu

As a first generation college student, I know the importance and significance education plays in one's life. I just recently earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science, which has allowed me to utilize those skills and apply them to real-world problems. I am currently pursuing my masters of science in Computer Science as well. Through many research papers and oral presentation and extensive exams, I know that I am capable of assisting any student with their written and oral skills. In the past, I have tutored in the areas of mathematics and history. It is my pleasure to be of assistance to any student in any subject matter. I love being able to help others in subjects where they are weak. I have a pretty flexible and open schedule and I am readily available to assist your child.
