My comments on tutoring Algebra : Tutoring for 28 years

My teaching style is to listen to the student and let them try to work the problem out. If they can't figure the problem out, I give them a similar example to follow and let them use that problem as a model. There is normally a protocol or steps to follow in math. I lead them through the steps using that example. Then they go back to their original problem and normally can do it better. Other subjects require reading like history or economics. I ask them to go back and look more carefully at their reading if they can't get the answers to their questions. In English, I teach them grammar rules and the structure of the 5 paragraph essay.

Most people can’t recall their first days of school, but I can.While the fashions changed as I entered each grade, I was always filled excitement.It was equivalent to the feeling you get at Christmas, but better!The present you were getting on the warm August day was a new teacher, a new desk, and new friends. It is those same feelings that drew me to wanting to be an educator.I have experiences in various grade levels and a broad range of content knowledge.During my undergraduate career I was lucky enough to be given a great foundation.I have been able to practice hands on what I had learned in the classroom and it has given me the confidence in my ability to be an educator.
I have a passion for teaching and working with children to help them be successful. I always have the goal to make all the students I come into contact leave wanting to be life long learners. This doesn't go w ... read more

My experience as a teacher has given me the opportunity to teach math, science, history, literature, reading and writing to a very diverse group of students. These students vary in development, both academically and socially, and I adjust my delivery of instruction to meet the needs of all. I continue to work with students who function above, on and below grade level expectations and together we meet or exceed the classroom teacher’s expectations. In following Constructivist methods of instruction, we use class discussion, open ended questions and cooperative learning to facilitate a highly interactive and inquisitive classroom atmosphere.
In my instruction I apply research-based strategies, theories, new techniques, and modern methods of instruction. I put a lot of thought and work in to creating my lesson plans. This can be seen in the detail that I provide on each plan. I p ... read more

Every child learns in a different way and I consider it my responsibility as an instructor to discover the methods that help students dissect and retain information. I have found that excitement for your subject is crucial in making learning fun. I enjoy finding creative ways to help students tackle problems, whether mathematical or verbal. I am patient, friendly, and know the importance of encouragement for a job well done. After a tutoring session, I would want the student to come away feeling challenged and rewarded. I know the necessity of a good education and I would do everything possible to empower my students to be successful in that endeavor.
I have always had a deep appreciation for knowledge and education. I hold a BS in Marine Science (Oceanography), through which I took many high level science and math courses. I recently completed an MS in Environmental Science a ... read more

I have 2 years experience in tutoring high-school and college-level math and computer science (programming and database design) while studying computer science in college from 1996-1998. During that time I also taught small classes in computer usage (email and internet) at the Kennewick Senior Center. I later earned a bachelor degree in math at Portland State University in 2004, participating in study groups there. My recent work experience was in help desk, drafting, and geographic information systems.
I like to start tutoring students by determining what the student's strengths and weaknesses are and building a strategy from there. When a student doesn't understand a new concept, I like to go through every step of the process with them to figure out where the stumbling block is, using a variety of ways to explain the concept to assess which strategy works best for each student.

Since I was in college at Eastern Oregon University I have enjoyed working with children to educate them and foster enthusiasm for the sciences, especially chemistry. As an active member of the chemistry club at EOU I volunteered in dozens of elementary chemistry demonstration in the LaGrande OR area. I also participated in summer chemistry camps during this time. After graduation I have voluteered at area high schools during national chemistry week for the local chapter of the American Chemical Society. I am currently mentoring a PhD student from UCLA for the next two years who is working under my direction to complete an intelligence community post doc assignment.
I have spent 13 years working at Pacific Northwest National laboratory. During this time I have gained experience with several different types of chromatography systems and various mass spectrometers. I have develo ... read more

We all have different views, and I would like to find that gateway into the minds of children so that they can see and understand more. I use different methods for each individual. It depends on each person what they like and want in order to find the motivation in themselves. It is satisfying to see people realize that they can achieve more than they first thought.
I have earned a bachelor of science degree in General Science, which means I have a very good understanding of many topics including: Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, Physics, Computers, and Arts. I have experience in being a leader of 10-16 people in the military as an officer. I enjoyed teaching people of their oppurtunities in furthering their education. During late nights I tutored friends in Calculus and Biology.
