A Little Bit About Me...

I build relationships with my students and so they want to learn. I am patient, have a sense of humor, and possess a unique ability to make students understand complicated mathematical concepts. I am able to engage all students in mathematics and challenge each student to reach and exceed their unique potential in math. I have been extremely successful in bringing low performing math students up to level 3's and 4's on EOC tests and even more important have been able to instill confidence in these students for their future math courses.
I am the Math Department Chair at Tarboro High School and have held this position for five years. I also teach Algebra 2, Algebra 2 Honors, Pre-Calculus, and Advanced Functions and Modeling. I have taught at Tarboro High School for ten years and prior to that, I had a successful business career as a Bond Analyst. I have a B. S. Degree in Ma ... read more

My teaching philosophy is simple and contains three parts. Part one: The concept or topic is easy, regardless of what it is, it just must be broken down to its most basic elements. This is my job to do for the student. Once this is done for the student it will be shown that the perceived “complexity of the subject” is simply a compilation of basic elements of the subject, from here the topic can be built upon to more advanced levels; I am convinced this idea is not subject dependant. Part two: The student must decide that he or she can and will understand the subject matter and be successful in it. This too is a part of my job to encourage, motivate and instill confidence in the student. Part three: Practice, practice, and after that more practice. I will teach and encourage the student to constantly work on his or her new skills in the subject matter and as always review his or h ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Teaching is my passion. I love to teach, instruct or lecture and tutor students regardles of age, race, intellectual abilities and sex. I strongly believe in teaching in a way to make a positive change in the life of my students. I do not only teach, but also let my students see the relevance of what's being taught to life and towards their career in the future. I explain the topics in a simple and understandable way. I always try to relate the topic to some common day to day activities for a better understanding and rememberance. I demonstrate, describe and explain the topics to the students. I ask questions on what I taught and also allow my students to ask questions. At the end of the class, my students are always left with a better mental understanding of any topic disscussed during the class session.
I earned both my Bachelor's and Master's in Applied and Physical Chemistry re ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Building a healthy relationship in a friendly learning environment where students feels comfortable and not intimated is essential to reducing anxieties, thereby allowing the student to express themselves and think freely, without pressure.I understand patience and tone of voice is vital to teaching critical thinking skills and strategies needed to perform the most challenging equations. I have experienced that if a student spends time talking their way through problems, they develop a better understanding of the process of problem solving. I ultimately understand that building self confidence provides a child with the self-assurance to learn independently, and develop a love and passion for learning all things
During college I studied Electrical Engineering for 7 years where I gained an extensive background in mathematics and science while obtaining my Masters Degree. During my M ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Education is the central focus of my everyday life. I have obtained a BS in Management-Health Care/HR and 5 Associate degrees in Business Administration, Administrative Office Technology, Medical Office Technology, Legal Secretary, and College Transfer. I have been homeschooling my son since 2006 and mentoring students through a local church for just as long. In addition, I tutored in 1990-1991 and 1994-1997 while in college to earn extra money. I have assisted students with Mathematics, English, Science, Social Studies, and Mental Health issues. I have published my own poetry and have written a novel which I will publish soon. I am very well-spoken and do well correcting grammatical and spelling errors of students.
I have a natural passion for educating youth of all ages and find joy in helping them succeed. No child is unreachable when it comes to connecting with them. The only t ... read more
