Computer Programming Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Ware, MA

As I carry out my personal philosophy of education, I seek to make learning lifelong and to encourage children to become contributing and active members of our society. To that end, it is my hope to make it possible for all children to gain understanding of material, to think critically about what they are learning, and to be able to apply their learning to everyday life and to their futures. I believe it is the role of the teacher to help students recognize their abilities and lead them towards life choices that use those abilities to the fullest. Often, we, as adults, have forgotten what we learned in school. This saddens me and motivates me to teach children skills and techniques that will benefit them now and in the future. My interest in academia is rooted in my desire to help children learn and to make that learning lifelong. It is my goal to make learning fun, purposeful, and m

I have a BS in Chemistry, an MFS in Forensic Chemistry and a strong aptitude in math and computers. Early on in my career I spent 1 1/2 years as a substitute teacher in the areas of math and science, including several months as a long-term substitute in chemistry. For the last 20+ years I have been employed as a chemist/scientist/supervisor in both government and corporate settings. As a scientist I routinely mentored the chemists who worked with me and as a supervisor I was responsible for the training of new hires. I was the designated Lab Math trainer for 4 years and have provided training in numerous software applications as needed. I have also been teaching adult classes at my church for the last 10 years. As a student of life I believe that the best thing we can do for our children is to teach them how to learn. With that particular tool in their toolbox, there is no limit to

I was more of an instructor than a teacher. I was a day camp counselor at Solway House parent/child resort in Saugerties N.Y. I instructed kids how to swim, dive, play various sports and gave dancing lessons to the guests. As a high school student I tutored 7th and 8th graders in an after school community center. I was one of a few staff at the University of Connecticut to instruct graduates and staff in the use of the various electronic facilites available to them. I feel children are very self-aware and are very vulnerable to positive and negative feedback. Therefore, no matter how little progress is made, praise them. If no progerss is made or if an issue needs to re-addressed, praise them..."That was great, but let's try it this way!" I feel that you are positive, smiling, and they believe that you believe in them, 9 out of 10 kids will follow you!

As an undergraduate engineering student and tutor for engineering and other courses, I developed a strong background in the techniques and skills necessary in many levels of math, science, and technical writing. Additionally, the rigorous demands of engineering school have taught me the persistence, organizational ability, and other academic skills required of any tutor or student. My graduate study in special education, volunteer work, and experience as the brother of a child with special needs has given me a great deal of experience working with students with disabilities and knowledge of issues which they face in academic settings. During the school year, I work as a learning specialist for college students with learning disabilities. This has helped me to understand more about differences among students' learning styles and improved my ability to be an effective tutor for stude

I enjoy teaching, educating and mentoring students to be all they can be and excel in their coursework. I also enjoy just working with students to encourage them and show them how learning can be fun! I am a very patient and caring person who also offer mentoring and career development to students in many subjects. I use creative teaching and learning by practicing methods to have students enjoy a subject or course material. I also teach students to be able to learn the material in a way that they can be comfortable to teach themselves. I challenge and practice over and over with my students until they learn the material. I am a certified tutor for the state of CT with over 10 years of tutoring experience from pre-K to college level in the subjects of math, science, engineering and reading.

Math can be fun, especially when applied to exciting applications. For my work at NASA and the MITRE Corporation I use concepts from Calculus I-II almost everyday. Inspiring students to become excited about math and science is one of my life-long goals. Step by step visual diagrams can be effective tools for describing complex ideas. From my experience as a teacher and student I have had great success creating simple graphics to accompany otherwise dense math equations for circuits, data structures and statistics. This teaching style coupled with a fresh knowledge of math material as a graduating senior make me confident that I can be an asset to your team this summer. I will be returning to my home in Connecticut May 18th and would welcome the opportunity to and discuss starting work at Advanced Learners!

I believe every student deserves a quality education and every student has gifts and can be challenged to succeed with those gifts. A teacher can positively impact each child with thoughtful dedication, perseverance, creativity and hard work. My goal is to bring consistency, diligence, and warmth to my job in the hope that I can encourage such traits in the students as well. I provide my students the following: explicit instruction, creating an encouraging and friendly classroom climate, offering a variety of reading materials. Discerning and teaching curriculum that resonates with my students and helps them to learn the building blocks for their successful academic future is my goal. “Excellence Award” from Educational Testing Service for Elementary Education (K-8): Content Knowledge for exceptional score in top 15%.

Students have different learning styles, so I try to adapt my tutoring style to best suit the needs of the student. I have a unique ability to explain complicated concepts on a simple level. I try to make sure that the student really understands the concepts, rather than just teaching him or her to mechanically do the work. When working on problems, I generally use an interactive approach, in which I ask the student questions designed to direct his or her thinking in the right direction. In this way, the student is deeply involved and is encouraged to think and to use what he or she does know to figure out what is needed. This also gives the student confidence in his or her own ability. As a graduate of two of the finest engineering colleges in the country, I have received an excellent education, earning a BS in Electrical Engineering from Cooper Union and an MS in Electrical Enginee

In the classroom I rely on traditional lecture, supplemented by Powerpoint presentations, animations, and lists and diagrams on the white board. I usually assign a research paper. In the last few semesters I've implemented through Blackboard some online testing, as well as tutorial "homework" quizzes, where the students get feedback directing them to coverage of particular sections of the text. I always try to make students aware of how the detailed, technical concepts of the moment fit into the "big picture," making references both to material previously covered and to material yet to come. I have a BA in Microbiology and an MA in Zoology. I have 7-8 years experience teaching biology, ecology, microbiology and environmental science at the college level. In addition I have many years experience in software engineering, technical writing, software quality assurance, and technical edi

For as long as I can remember I have always loved to teach. I enjoy helping others learn new material as well as gain from them ways to cope with different learning styles and comprehension levels. I have experience with all age groups from 6-7 yrs to 18+ yrs. I exercise patience and understanding as I have learned that everyone's learning style is unique. I am an easy person to work with and I believe that one can learn anything with the right amount of care and dedication -- two main qualities that I strive to provide to each student. I love working with numbers and figuring out solutions to challenging problems. Earning my degree in Computer Science has allowed me to do both of these as well as provide me with extensive knowledge about computers. It has allowed me to enhance my skills in both math and science. Since high school I have tutored students in basic math, Pre-Algebra and Al

Being able to help others understand math gives me such a great feeling of accomplishment. I feel like I am helping them to solve a riddle and know from personal experience the vast opportunities that understanding math can give to you. I believe that the majority of students are not given the proper tools or techniques to understand math and that it needs to be individualized. Math is its own language and needs to be translated into that of the student in order for them to teach themselves. I believe that what I can offer is a starting point for them to be able to visualize math in their own terms. Throughout high school and college I showed proficiency for mathematics as well as an ability to help teach those around me. After college I became a pension analyst and have studied for several actuarial exams. In my current position one of my responsibilities is to educate new hires or coll
