I am a calm, patient, and easy-going person who loves learning and loves helping others to learn. I enjoy adapting to different learning styles, and want to help each student to the greatest extent I am able to. I try to strike the correct balance between allowing students to work problems out themselves and giving them guidance. The subject areas I focus in are generally considered difficult, but I believe that with guidance, and perhaps a more constructive mindset, the problems can become enjoyable and achievable puzzles.
As a masters degree holding physicist I have an extensive background in both physics and mathematics. Additionally, as a published author and the author of many research papers and lab reports I have considerable grammatical skills, and writing experience. My whole educational career tutoring my classmates and siblings has come as second nature to me, but I ... read more

I tutored middle school and high school students in math when I was in a high school, specifically algebra I and II, as well as SAT prep. In college, I helped students in calculus, biology, and statistics, as these are the primary focus of my undergraduate degree. I was also a Resident Advisor for 3 years, which lent itself to helping students with coursework as well as college life. Finally, in Michigan, I tutored master's level students in their statistics courses, both individually and in study groups.

Professional Exam Prep and Subject Tutoring

During my time as Head Tutor at UNCA, regardless of department, I tutored over 200 students in mathematics and physics. Of those students, at least 80% saw an increase of at least one letter grade and at least 20% saw an increase by two letter grades. Many students I tutored in one subject came back to be for tutoring in the other. For many of my students I served as an invaluable mentor who guided them from their earliest days as a college freshman to the day the walked across the stage and earned their degree. Over the past five years, I have helped more than 100 students gain admission to their dream colleges and have averaged a score increase of approximately 260 points for the SAT and 6.5 points for the ACT. I have personally played a role in the lives of students who have earned admission into such institutions as Stanford, Duke, UVA, Cal Tech, Georgia Tech, UNC, and UPenn. ... read more

No drudgery!

I solve problems. I am a bioanalytical chemist and biomedical engineer. This profession requires using math, statistics, biology and chemistry at a high level on a daily basis as I develop products that improve healthcare. I have taught or tutored science and math from elementary to post-college level for over 25 years in diverse settings.
Student-led and interactive. No lectures. No drudgery. I focus on the process of solving problems. Restate the question. Draw diagrams. Figure out what information is missing. How can I get that information? Can it be calculated or is an estimate good enough? What sources are reliable?

My comments on tutoring SAT - Math : 10 years tutoring experience

I have been tutoring for over 10 years in all types of Math, including Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Precalculus, Calculus etc. I have also been tutoring in Chemistry and Physics. I have experience tutoring at the Middle School, High School, and College levels. I love tutoring students with diverse backgrounds ethnically, educationally, economically etc. I love people and I love teaching!
Different students have different 'keys' to learning. I utilize a flexible approach which seeks to 'unlock' the potential in each individual student.

More About This Tutor...

I love tutoring and mentoring. I naturally adapt my style to that of each student. As part of the instruction, I often ask easy questions to help them discover the rules of math for themselves. By doing this, my students quickly find concepts that were difficult for them begin to make sense! I also encourage them to ask about everything in the lesson they don’t fully understand. I am very patient, caring and encouraging. I help my students build confidence, self-esteem and a positive attitude.
I have taught, tutored, trained and mentored students of all ages for more than 15 years. My background includes being a math teacher and adjunct professor. I taught at colleges in New Jersey and at Duke University. The students I tutor are often in grades 5-12, in college or preparing to return to school. I also have several years experience applying math to real world situations, ... read more

My experiences as a tutor and instructor have given me some of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I believe that tutoring provides a unique opportunity for an instructor to help a student with not only the subject matter, but also with study strategies, priority setting, and building self confidence. I have tutored a wide range of students, from students who are self-motivated and exceptionally talented, to those who struggle due to lack of interest or learning disabilities. As a tutor, I recognize that each student requires different teaching strategies and different motivational techniques. Patience, understanding, and commitment are key elements of my teaching style, ensuring that each student knows that I believe in their ability to succeed and value their educational success.
As a graduate student I had the pleasure to both teach and tutor. I was a Teacher's Assis ... read more

I like helping people. I love working with children and am a very easygoing person. I feel all children given the right push can succeed in whatever they put their mind to. I like to teach young minds and mold them into educators of the future.
I have much experience in mathematics and science. My degree was attained through Chemistry, Physics and Atmospheric Science classes. My mathematics background is strong. I got a 790 on my math portion of my SAT, completed college Calculus I, II, and III, differential equations, and even a bit of statistics.

I believe all growth in the classroom has to come from a positive relationship between the student and the teacher. The excitement of learning can only come in an environment in which the student is comfortable and relaxed. Accordingly, I relate to each student on a personal level and try to make each lesson as interactive as possible. When a lesson is interactive, the student will be more engaged. Furthermore, lessons are better remembered when reinforced by hearing, speaking, and moving.
I come from a strong background in community building and civic leadership. I was drawn to teaching by the simple pleasure of working with students and the joy of being able to pass on what I have learned with others. During the last couple of years, I have worked with students of a variety of ages and in a variety of settings. I have experience ranging from teaching high school history, t ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have just finished all coursework at Duke University for BA in Mathematics. Next semester, I will work at Jordan HS as a student teacher in AP Statistics and Algebra I classrooms. I participated in the Budapest Semesters in Mathematics program in Hungary from Jan 2010-May 2010. Last summer I worked at NASA Ames Research Center doing mathematical modeling and statistical analysis of data for the Intelligent Spacecraft Interface Systems Lab. I have tutored math and literacy for grades K-12, and also taught at summer science, movie making, and drama camps. I am a native Chinese speaker.
I believe a good teacher can push students to discover their intrinsic motivation for learning. I relate academic content to real world applications relevant to the students' lives. Learning with a purpose is where I try to focus my students. Working with children in the past has given me experience ... read more

When I approach a student I've never worked with, my first priority is to make them feel comfortable by letting them see that I am a very nice, friendly, and compassionate person that they might like to have as a friend. Next I try to get them to tell me about themselves in some way (what they've been working on, their favorite subjects) to try to encourage them to speak freely with me about what they're thinking. Then, after personal rapport is established, I begin my academic approach to tutoring by finding out how they think based on their interests or common themes, and I try to connect the material to these things. Children have trouble learning, often because the addressed concepts don't relate to their lives. I strive to connect the material to them, demonstrate its influence on their interests, and allow them to greet the academic engagement as some sort of useful tool, not a ... read more

My teaching philosophy is best summed up by the Confucian aphorism "I hear and I forget, I see and I remember. I do and I understand". In engaging students, I attempt to make the subject matter appealing and relevant to their lives, and highlight areas of common misconception. I encourage active participation in the student asking questions when in doubt. To build confidence in problem solving, I will be working problems in a style consistent with the students way of thought. Am most flexible in tailoring my teaching style to the individual's abilities and requirements.
I am a graduate student working towards a PhD in Physics at Duke University. My previous experience in teaching has ranged from individual to group tuition at the high school and college level for subjects ranging from Mathematics to Chemistry and Physics. I have won teaching awards for teaching Physics to students ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As soon as I reached high school, I became interested in mentoring those younger than me and this passion still carries me. With the guidance of my mother, who has been a teacher and tutor for over 20 years, I began to tutor elementary school children in Math, Science, Writing, and oral presentation skills. My mother, as the founder of Gillin Tutoring Services, trained me on how to tutor most effectively. As a graduate of Duke University, I have had education in a number of subjects including, Mathematics, English/Literature, Spanish, Science (particularly, Biology and Chemistry) as well as the arts.
I love teaching children through unique and innovative methods, whether it be through songs in order to help with memorization or presenting the students with real life situations to navigate through. I am mainly hands on and very visual. I feel that these are ultimately the best ways ... read more
