SAT - Math Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Vail, AZ

One of my many passions in life is working with kids, specifically tutoring them. I have found that it is easier to tutor a student when they know that they are surrounded by positivity. With this I am referring to the feeling of comfort and knowing that it's ok to be wrong. I notice more confidence in my students when I establish a friendship with them. In addition to this, letting my students know that even at different ages, we can still relate to one another. I love incorporating visual images, tangible objects, color, laughter, and fun in my tutoring sessions. I strongly believe that repetition is important when learning something new. I have found that every students learning style is different and I have been able to easily adjust to this. Working as a tutor has given me the opportunity to demonstrate great leadership among my peers and students while creating a positive environme

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

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 Advising Coordinator at the University of Arizona, I interacted in a one-on-one capacity with students to develop their intellectual, academic, and career interests. An understanding of the student and his/her background, strengths and weaknesses, and motivation is key to successful learning. This student-centered

My teaching style devotes about half the time to direct instruction, but I make that a firm upper limit. The student must do the active learning in a classroom, and I foster this by Socratic questioning, discussions, and project work. Tutoring demands an even lower percentage of direct instruction than does classroom teaching, and as a tutor I encourage the student to direct his own session as much as possible. I gained my BA in History only after years of serious and devoted study, and I bring a respect for whatever subject I teach to the classroom. After gaining my teaching certification with my MS, I taught history and geography in Alabama. After my Latin American Studies MA. I taught Latin, Greek, and Spanish. My tutoring was for middle and high school students in these and other fields, and I am currently a tutor for the University of Arizona's SALT Center, a program which serv

I have very strong writing and communication skills and will be able to give my students my very best. I am an excellent tutor and will make sure my students have a thorough and complete understanding of the subject they are struggling in. I have a natural ability to break down and clearly explain the material to my students in a way that they will be able to comprehend and internalize. I believe all children have to ability to learn and master any subject just so long as it is explained to them in a way they can understand; if they are having trouble, the burden falls on the instructor

I have always been interested in helping students like me who struggle in the math and science courses. As such, I have started tutoring during my high school days and armed with several years of experience, I intend to help more and more students as I go onwards to getting my Master's degree in Microbiology. I am currently majoring in Microbiology with minor concentrations in Chemistry and Japanese. I have performed tutorial sessions on arithmetic subjects like algebra, geometry, and calculus. Also, I am familiar with the physical and life sciences like general biology, microbiology, genetics, general chemistry, organic chemistry and biochemistry. I make tutoring fun and "doable" even for the hardest of classes, according to my students. I have tutored several students who have struggled through anxiety regarding the harder subjects of the math and sciences but successfully received the

Teaching is an art form that involves love, patience and understanding. Each student learns differently and requires different teaching styles. I have had students that need help being focused and I have had students who need to relax to open up the brain waves to learning. My teaching style includes evaluating each students strengths and weaknesses so that I can focus in the correct areas for each. As a high school student, my first job was at Kumon Math and Reading Center where I helped tutor Math students for 2 years. Once in college, my tutoring experiences were limited to summers but was able to help one student pass her summer school math class so that she could graduate. In the last 5 years I have helped many students improve their grades as well as helping a student with cancer complete all of her coursework while she was out during treatment. I am proud to say all of my st

I prefer to work with small groups of students or individuals as it is easier to meet each student's needs. I am very concise and methodical, but am also sensitive enough to pace myself according to the student's needs. Of course, experience is the best teacher, so I usually review the points that the student has questions on, provide an example of the principles in action, and then help the student work through some problems until he or she understands satisfactorily. As such, I have found that I am very good at teaching math and math-based science as well as languages. 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 sessi

My tutoring began in when I was employed with Nazareth Colleges' Partners for Learning program. This program worked with several schools in the Rochester, NY area to provide in school and after school tutoring and teaching assistance to children grades 6-12. I specialized at one school, Hope Hall in Gates, NY, where I worked with students who had a variety of learning challenges. I assisted students with subjects such as: English, Spanish, French, math, language arts, science and social studies. I worked with Partners for Learning for two years from 2005-2006 while I was finishing my undergraduate degree. I have also been employed as a substitute teacher in my hometown of Rochester, NY. I truly and honestly enjoy working with children of all ages to help them achieve their highest potential.
