I have been tutoring AP Calculus and College Calculus for almost 10 years. I am patient, flexible, and versatile as a tutor. I understand that we all have different learning styles and that there is no one single approach that will work for everyone. I will show you multiple methods to solve a problem and help you find the one that works best for you. I have worked with adult learners, returning students, English language learners, and students with special needs. I have even taken formal coursework in education. I look forward to working with you and your individual educational needs! I have experience tutoring and teaching Math, Science, and Computers at various levels up through professional.

I was a Physics and Math teacher for 33 years. I have a Bachelors in Mathemetics and a minor in Physics. I have a level 2 teaching certificate in both Mathematics and Physics. I am a retired teacher who was blesssed to be a teacher. While employed as a teacher I did a lot of tuturing after school and that was one of the most rewarding experiences in my career. I did teach and tutor basic stochimotery chemistry also. A lot of my ex students come back from college to be tutured in Physics. To make students academically competative I believe a a 4 step approach. a. definitions b. derivations ( understanding the math behind problem solving) c. conversions ( factor label) d. problem solving ( direct and indirect solutions) Physics involves Magnitude, Metric System, Vector Analysis, Motion 1, Motion 2, Dynamics ( Force) Energy Systems Teaching with a systemic approach give a through understa

I am a student from Rutgers University pursuing double major in Electrical and Computer Engineer. As an engineer, I have taken all the Calculus courses and also on top of that required Chemistry and Physics. I was awarded Most passionate about Mathematics award and also was named young scholar of new jersey. As an Engineer in making I go through this process everyday where sometimes I have to learn and sometimes I have to teach. I work in a team, and try to make connection between material and some real life example. Just to show an example, the pythagorus theorem is really useful to work around were we make use of the hypotenuse to walk less from point a to b rather than going through the path.

I have been a teacher at Blue Mountain High School for three years. Prior to that I taught at Reading High School for two years. In addition, I was a mathematics aide for a year at Schuylkill Valley High School. In all my experience, I have taught everything from Algebra I to Calculus. Earning my Master's degree last year, gave some more strategies to use and develop both in and out of the classroom. I have tutored friends and relatives over the past 15 years and I love the one on one interaction with the student. I teach as if each student was my own child. I treat students the same way I would want my own children treated. Therefore, I teach with the same inspiration. I am convinced that students think math has to be hard, but I approach math with a different attitude. There are definitely some aspects of math that can be troubling, these are the concepts we need to work harder on and

I love teaching and working with students. My teaching style most closely aligns with the demonstrator style. I show my students how to properly do a task or work through a problem and then I'll help them master the task or problem solution. It's important that my students can independently solve similar problems by using and adapting demonstrated methods. My teaching is performed with patience, persistence, and compassion. I am very easy going. As a Lehigh University graduate, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I earned a BS degree in Computer Science and have worked as a software engineer and tutor. Some of my mathematical skills include algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus, probability & statics, discreet math, and differential equations. I am an excellent computer programmer, have a good understanding of physics, and I learned to write wel

I believe in constructivism. Students learn more when they make their own learning. They need to see the real world application of the material and how it applies to them. I try to create tasks that are hands-on, use authentic materials, and encourage students to collaborate with others and think outside of the box. I have taught high school in three different countries: Germany, UK and USA. I am passionate about foreign languages and social studies, and I care about my students. It is my intention to broaden their horizons and help them reach their potential as students and as human beings.

I tutored Calculus through the Peer tutoring program at my high school and at my College. I enjoy math and enjoy watching others learn it as well. Because of my love of math and hands on work I chose Mechanical Engineering as my major with a minor in Architecture. I am doing very well so far and enjoying it also. I am a visual learner and the best way to teach would be to give the learner something he can visually grasp. First if possible demonstrate visually then combine that with numbers and show the proper steps to solve the problem algebraically. Then offer different situations and examples for them to practice.

I teach and tutor with enthusiasm and passion, and my love of the subject eminates throughout my instruction. Whatever the student's past experiences in math, I will make the course fun and easy to learn. I have accumulated literally thousands of different ways to teach each topic in every course, which means that I will discover the way each student learns best, and enable him or her to achieve success in the course beyond their expectations. I am patient, flexible, resourceful, and a pleasure to work with. You'll see. I graduated from Carnegie-Mellon University with a BS degree in mathematics and teaching certification in PA. I taught secondary math in the Allentown School District for 7 years, served as department chairman at Kildonan School in NY for 12 years, taught math at Blue Ridge School in VA for 5 years, taught math at Poly Prep in NY for one year, taught math at CFS, the

When teaching or tutoring a student I have found that there are several factors in how it should be approached. The most important of the factors are the subject matter and the students learning style. The learning style of the student has to be considered when teaching. Helping a student learn requires finding the most effective method. You want to make sure they understand the subject matter while exposing them to other possible ways to approach difficult problems. You can provide tools not only for the problems they are having but preparing them to handle future difficulties. Teaching can be rewarding as you help the student help themselves by discovering their own strength and weakness as well as was to improve. Over the twelve years I attended college I acquired six degrees while maintaining high academic standards. I received a Master’s of Science Degree in Forensic Science, a

As a Mathematics major, I have the drive to solve problems. I have been tutoring for seven years and when I'm not doing it, I miss it. I enjoy helping students 'solve their problems' by teaching them how to approach each problem or equation and reach the end solution. While in College, I was recommended by numerous professors for the tutoring program and was able to continue my tutoring career. Throughout the past seven years, I have tutored Pre-Algebra, Bio-Calculus, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus. Teaching is a difficult task. Everyone learns at a different pace and on their own level. Some students are quick learners and their teacher only needs to go over the lesson once; other students need to hear the subject content in a different form to understand it. Having said that, I can't explain my teaching style as a cut and dry formula. The skill level of each student and the way they proces

My studies have given me practical experience working with children of different abilities and readiness. I sincerely believe it is the teacher's responsibility to adapt lessons to the student's learning style. I strive to create connections to student past lessons and keep difficult concepts in easy, relative terms that simplify information for the student to digest. I prefer teaching lessons through discovery learning and constructivist approaches, and will ask as many questions to my students as my students will to me. Personally, I am considerate, professional, and genuinely caring to each of my student's success. I have never given up on a student's abilities to learn, and I convey an attitude of perseverance to my students. As a Penn State graduate, I earned a B.S. in Earth Sciences with a minor in Chemistry, assisting a paleoclimatology laboratory on campus for three years. I t

I decided early on in my college experience that I wanted to major in mathematics. I worked hard for four years taking a variety of math classes that ended with my senior seminar project that showed how math can be used to project how deadly a disease can be. I earned my BS in Mathematics with a 3.9 GPA in the spring of 2009. I tutored younger college students for about a year in subjects like Calculus 1 and 2, Trigonometry, PreCalculus, and Algebra. I love teaching other people and I really get a sense of satisfaction when they are able to understand what I have taught them. I tend to teach by using examples as I think it is easier for the student to understand a concept by seeing a visual picture or example. I am a patient teacher who works hard to make sure the student understands the concpet correctly.
