Joseph N - Dover, DE 19904 (40.2 mi) - Civil Engineering Tutor - $54.00/hr.
I am a currently a working civil engineer specializing in bridge design (steel and concrete structures). I received scores of 760 in Math on both the SAT I and II, and a score of 800 in Math on the GRE's. I have taken several high level calculus, engineering mathematics, and statistics classes at the University of Delaware, aside from receiving a 5 on both the Calculus and the Statistics AP Exams. I have tutored elementary students in the past, and was part of a 'teaching scientists' after school company briefly in college. I believe in talking through problems using visual ideas and simplified concepts. I prefer teaching with graphics and concepts, and then relating them to formulas and equations. While I expect hard work from my students, I also have the patience to help them understand at their own pace.

Bryan U - Merchantville, NJ 08109 (42.2 mi) - Civil Engineering Tutor - $46.00/hr.
When a student is challenged with a physics problem, they feel overwhelmed because they do not understand how to approach the problem. For example, making a sandwich you first use the bread to contain the other ingredients such as the meat, vegetables and condiments. This basic understanding of ingredients on how to make a sandwich is applicable to the atom. An atom is made of protons, electrons and neutrons. This is why I have enjoyed teaching because once one can understand the way in which a student absorbs information, the teacher and or tutor needs to provide the information in that manner. I know and have demonstrated the ability to do so. Selected to work with students in Physics lab courses, teaching concepts and techniques, answering questions, and providing help. Adeptly described physics material to students who are unfamiliar with physics, meeting students’ needs. Utilize

Ronald H - Philadelphia, PA 19139 (46.1 mi) - Civil Engineering Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I start with a word problem, since this is the type that most often challenges students. I review the language used, and translate that into equations. I start with sums, then subtraction, multiplication then division. As the students sees me go through several examples, I then give them similar problems. In a short time they experience the success for themselves, and tackle problems theretofore difficult. Apart from continuing my education to the MA level in mathematics, I worked as a civil engineer for 20 years, doing water construction projects. This work gave me much experience in jobs where calculation accuracy is critical. When not working, I tutored and continue to tutor in the neighborhood library. Algebra is a strong area for me.
Further, I have traveled to France, Spain, Turkey and Egypt where my language skills have increased, and ability to communicated has been enhanced.
