College Algebra Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Wing, AL

25 years teaching various age groups in mathematics, fitness and martial arts Math subjects include algebra, statistics, calculus, trigonometry, logic, discrete math; I can tutor any math subject in K - Junior year of college. When students turn to tutoring, they often allow the tutor to do their thinking. This is counter productive to learning. A tutor is a coach, as well as, someome who shares their knowledge and skills. Learning math requires building neuro network connections in the brain. Anyone can learn math, at any age, but just like exercise, the mental muscle must be built with hard work. Learning how to learn sometimes is the first step. I take a diagnostic approach to tutoring. It does no good tutoring algebra is a student doesn't understand numbers and arithmetic. Likewise, a student must have a working knowledge of algebra before they can be successful in

Teaching is so rewarding, there's nothing better than helping someone understand something they have struggled with in the past. I am a very patient person who loves to work with people. I also enjoy helping people overcome challenges. For example: when I worked at the accounting office my specialty was dealing with clients who had or have issues with the IRS. It was my favorite part of the job, especially when the issue was resolved! My teaching style is different for different people, everyone learns differently. The trick is to help people figure out the best way for them to catch on and retain the information. After finishing my masters I hope to teach at the high school or college level. I finished my BA with concentrations in management and accounting at Troy University in 2007,then worked for three years in an Accounting Office. I left there in January 2010 to pursue my Masters in

In 2005 I graduated from the University of West Florida, earning a BA in psychology with a 3.5 GPA. During that time I was vice president of an on-campus meditation group that lead people in meditation and relaxation techniques. I have assisted many people with tutoring for various types of academic and placement tests, e.g, ASVAB, ACT and SAT, as well as college placement tests for english and math. I have excellent proof-reading/grammar/writing skills and an understanding of APA and MLA formatting. I have experience working at a military base college branch as an advisor/field representative and have gained experience with financial aid and degree planning. I love teaching and learning new things and believe it should be a fun experience.

During my years in college, I have acquired a strong passion for teaching others. I believe every person whether child or not can find their compassion for an education. I want every student to find what makes them passionate about learning. I am very determined to help any student find their learning style. Also, I am very understanding of each students abilities and learning style. I hope to impact each student's education in a positive way. During my years of highschool I strived to maintain a high GPA and recieved the Florida Bright Futures Scholarship because of my academic acheivements. My perseverance and strong ideas of education importance has led me to recently graduate from the University of West Florida with a Bachelor of Science degree. My plans are to continue my education to become a Physicians Assistant. However, my time in between schools can be at least one year. I have

My teaching-style is rigorous yet kind. My students say that no one has ever criticized their writing and thought so thoroughly and constructively. I'm known for my patience working with students with foreign-language backgrounds and other disabilities such as a lack of attention and focus. I learned from my professors at Swarthmore College (and a few at Penn) how to project a non-B.S. style, since kids tend to intuitively realize when their teacher has no idea what he/she is talking about. Coming from a family of teachers and professors (who have also been my teachers), I'm confident that good teaching is in my bones. I never use technology just for the sake of using technology. I became a published author of game reviews for a computer magazine at age 15. I worked at the University of Pennsylvania in Chemical Engineering under an Army Research Office grant, then as a software developer

As a graduate student in Sociology at Wichita State University, I was able to explore my passion for human behavior with great detail and rigor. During this time, I was able to use SPSS extensively for statistics and data analysis for Crosstabs, Frequencies, T-tests, ANOVA, Correlations, Descriptives, Linear Regression, Logistic Regression, OLS Regression, and Weights. I also served as a graduate teaching and research assistant, which allowed me to tutor students on how to use SPSS while also applying SPSS for research projects and program evaluation. I believe the fundamental goal of teaching is to foster learning. Learning takes place in many different circumstances and contexts. Although everyone is capable of learning, a student's desire to learn is a vital pre-condition to effectively mastering new concepts and skills. People have multiple learning styles: some learn best in lectu

I love children. I love teaching children new things. I have great patience. I love helping children reach their full potential and discover new things. Children's minds are like sponges and it is a great feeling to help them absorb all the wonderful things we have to teach them. I want to make a difference in the lives of children. In the past I Substitute taught Kindergarten through 8th grade at all subjects for one year. I also taught preschool for one year. I have been an Executive Assistant at a college for the past nine months. I have my Bachelors degree in Political Science and plan on getting my Masters degree and teaching certificate.

While biology has remained my main passion, I have learned that a good understanding of all subjects is necessary to succeed in academics. A scientist cannot replicate an experiment if they can’t read the papers or understand the statistics used. For this reason, when I teach, I emphasize the practice of multiple skills to achieve understanding in any one subject. I focus on teaching techniques that work well with all types of learners, particularly hands-on activities. It is my belief that learning should be exciting, not a tedious chore. I strive to foster this enthusiasm in my students. I have a deep passion for the sciences so my bachelor’s degree in biology was a natural fit. I discovered while working in a graduate program that I also love to teach. I had the opportunity to teach real world science to high school students, which I enjoyed immensely. I learned a lot about different

I try to meet my student’s needs by listening and patiently repeating a problem until concepts are grasped and applied. I am at ease working with students who view math as their worst subject and need to have concepts explained in various ways. In each of the math topics I review with a student I try to merge its mathematical and scientific history into the session to help make it more relevant to each student. I have fourteen years of instructional experience teaching mathematics and statistics at the college and community college level, and two years teaching secondary mathematics. My teaching experience is enhanced with eleven years of industrial exposure in the defense field. I also hold a teaching certificate to teach math and science in the state of Colorado where I taught and tutored at the middle school and high school level.

I feel that through teaching, you can touch lives. Everyone learns in different ways, and it is always my goal to help a student learn which study methods are best for them. I am a firm believer that with enough patience, any student can gain mastery over a subject. I have taken multiple courses in business and accounting at Henderson State University and have knowledge of computer programs such as Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. I have also expanded my communication and team work abilities through my work with the honors service organization, Gamma Beta Phi. In addition to my educational experience, I worked as a clerk for the Days Inn Corporation. I handled customer relations in a tactful and courteous manner as well as operated and maintained all business transactions. The knowledge I gained from this position taught me to communicate effectively with people of all background

There are many buzz words and phrases applied to teachers and teaching styles. While I perfectly respect all of these new theories and methods of both teaching and learning, it must not be forgotten that each student is unique in their style and commitment. Otherwise, they would not need tutoring! Creativity and patience are the keys to discovering the specific style that best suites the student. That being said, I do of course have a "style". My sessions are incredibly interactive and student driven. If a student can learn to voice their questions as well as the newly learned answer, they will not only master the topic on hand, but prepare them for higher education. Communication and interaction will always be key. Tutoring and teaching have always come quite naturally; the ability to see the struggle from the student's perspective, and recognizing the demand for creative explanations t

I have always had a strong desire to learn and to teach. I work hard and I am diligent to complete a task. My joy is to work with children of any age to help them grow and develop and learn. I believe it takes love, grace and patience to teach a child. The student must not only be expected to learn from the tutor, but the tutor must also learn from the student. Learning can be made enjoyable when a teacher has an encouraging spirit and does not give up on their student. I believe that any child's capacity to learn is no different than my capacity to learn, however his or her learning style may be different than mine. I desire to teach and learn and to positively impact my student's life. I have a BA in Philosophy/Religious Studies and I also studied Environmental Science with over 40 credit hours. Due to this wide range of studies, I have strong skills in both reading and writing, as wel

Having always enjoyed Math from an early age, I decided to pursue a Math degree and use my passion for Math to educate future generations. Having graduated in the Spring of 2007, I've taught High School Math for the past 3 years within Escambia County. I believe all children have the ability/aptitude to learn the information given to them, but it's the way that information is presented that will stay with your child forever. I feel it is my job to not only present this same information to your child in a new way, but to, in essence, teach your child how to learn and teach themselves. Almost all Math processes can be broken down into steps, and putting those steps together, like climbing stairs, will get your child to the top.
