GRE Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Tucson, AZ

An understanding of the student and his/her background, strengths and weaknesses, and motivation is key to successful learning. This student-centered approach has gained favor in recent years, and using this approach in an interactive way allows the student to develop critical-thinking skills at an optimal pace. As a graduate student at the University of Chicago, I was responsible for leading introductory core Biology labs, which covered an array of concepts in biology, statistics, computer usage, and experimental design. Because lab reports were frequent requirements, I also was able to improve skills as a writing tutor I had already developed as a writing tutor (paid student position) in the Writing Lab at Towson University. I also have taught a remedial study- and life-skills course for students on Academic Probation at the University of Arizona. Finally, in my capacity as Academic Ad

I graduated from the University of Arizona with a B.S. in Mathematics and a minor in Philosophy. Currently, I am finishing my M.A. degree in Mathematics Education. I have over 6 years of math tutoring experience, and about 3 years of formal math teaching experience. I have tutored students various levels of math such as algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, and introduction to proof writing. I have also tutored beginning physics. My teaching style is very simple. I want to make sure that students understand the concept, so they can succeed in their math classes. I have the ability to model concepts by providing students specific examples. I believe that everyone has the ability to do mathematics. But in order to learn mathematics, they need to get their hands dirty and work on many problems. I am also a very personable, entertaining,

I have been teaching and tutoring people of various ages and backgrounds since high school. I began tutoring as a senior, assisting freshmen who were preparing to take the AIMS test. While in college, I was a service learning intern at Mountain View High School. This internship required me to teach reading circles for students with low reading and writing skills. After graduating from college, I worked as a museum educator at the Arizona Capitol Museum in Phoenix. My position required me to have a thorough knowledge of history and politics and to communicate the information to children ranging in age from five to eighteen. I have an equally strong background working with individuals and large groups. Thanks to my experiences as an educator, I have the patience and skill to teach effectively regardless of subject matter or difficulty level. As a tutor, I believe it is crucial to get stud

I have a BA in Psychology, MS in Zoology and BS in Computer Science. I have lifetime Arizona Community College certification in psychology, biology, ecology and remedial math. My experience with special populations includes: three years full-time on the Navajo Reservation; three years part-time at the SALT Center at the University of Arizona working with learning disabled students; and a hands-on nature camp for deaf middle-schoolers. My favorite experience has been the opportunity to design the curriculum, code the programs, and teach the student counselors for the U of A's Computer Science week-long summer enrichment program for teens. My forte is science and math, which are often students' least favorite subjects, due to earlier difficulty. A solid basic understanding of these subjects is critical to being an independent, engaged adult; and it's just plain cool to understand how th

While studying Physics at Iowa State University, I first discovered my love for teaching and tutoring and have been doing it almost continuously since then. I worked for the ISU Academic Success Center helping groups of 1-4 students learn calculus and calculus-based physics for 3 semesters. They always left my sessions understanding the subject better and gave me the highest reviews possible. Later, after briefly attending grad school, I went to Mexico and taught for a year. In my time there, I worked at both a private language school and as a 9th grade teacher at a private school. During this time, I learned a great deal about the English language as well as how to run a small class. Since returning to the US, I have also tutored my cousins in Spanish and ACT preparation. I now feel very comfortable tutoring for math and science as well as English, Spanish, and test preparation.
