Computer Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Woodinville, WA

I place a high value on practical education. I graduated high school at the top of my class and received my AA degree just a few of months later- all while working full-time. I then obtained my BA in Organizational Management and I am now in a local graduate degree program. Because of my heavy workload I was able to develop effective and efficient study methods. I have been tutoring, mentoring and coaching children, teens and adults for the past nine years with great success to them academically, socially and emotionally. I also have a great desire to teach adults and have tutored many in computer skills Specifically, I have tutored students in English (literature, grammar, writing, etc.), mathematics, science, and liberal arts. Education, youth and adult continuing education are great passions of mine. I believe that every student has the capacity to learn and has room for improve

As it has evolved over the years, my teaching style has become a mix of facilitation and direct instruction, with the goal always being the student's making his own discovery. I was trained in the Socratic style, which seems to match well with inquiry-based learning, and that is how my classes usually end up. I introduce activities, then gradually release them to the students to lead. Over the last 15 years, I have worked in various different areas. First, I taught adult ESL, and had occasional tutoring gigs with Russian speakers learning English, and some English speakers learning Russian. Currently, I work as a special education teacher. Part of my job is to work in small ratios with honors students who have disabilities. This "study skills" class often requires one-on-one tutoring.

I am a PhD graduate in computer engineering. My research is on applied math. I am proficient in teaching Probability & Statistics calculus, algebra and other math related subjects. I have had experiences teaching Math and computer science to undergraduate students. I am a considerate and patient teacher. I relate theory to practical scenarios when I teach. My objective of teaching is to make sure that the students understand the subject. I have an interactive session with my students asking them questions and allowing them raise their doubts. This way students get a vivid understanding of the subject and are attentive throughout the tutoring session.

My interest in educating others sparked when I first conducted a training program for engineers in my work place. Since then I explored the field of learning and development and gained a lot of knowledge on how knowledge flows from person to person. Inspired by my findings, I did my master’s thesis on Knowledge Management. Today, I share my knowledge with my co-workers by presenting new information. I do it in a way that is interesting and easy to understand. If there is one way I can differentiate myself with others, it is the way I share and present knowledge. I am interesting in tutoring under graduates, high school students on math, physics, chemistry, statistics and computer science. I help people to understand complex ideas, gain new knowledge by presenting the information that is interesting and easy to follow. I use a lot of analogy when presenting the information. I choose a

What strikes me most as I look back at my education is how much of an impact a teacher can have when they make their subject relevant to their students. When I am teaching I try to find out what motivates each student as a person, in addition to what is motivating them to take the class. My goal is to find a way to present the material in such a way that the experience of learning is a journey of meaningful discovery that corresponds to the course content. While completing my BS in engineering, I spent two years tutoring math, physics, and optics. During my senior year I was also able to teach a portion of two terms of the freshman optics class. During the last four years I have worked as an aerospace engineer, and as a private contractor. Although these weren't teaching positions, I believe that these experiences have given me unique opportunities to share my knowledge and will be

I tutored programming and math while earning my degree. I currently work as a substitute teacher at Bellevue Christian School. Last year while subbing at BCS I also worked at Mathnasium. During 2008-2009 I taught an Introduction to Computer Programming class, and a Math-lab class at BCS, as well as working as a sub. I also tutored math and computer programming at the University of Washington – Bothell. In addition, I have also worked at Lake Washington Technical College, and taught / tutored pre-algebra, algebra, business math, and industrial / technical math, as well as introduction to computer programming fundamentals. At the same time I also tutored C programming at Bellevue (Community) College. I believe that most students want to learn and are capable of learning, but math seems to have developed this mystique that one needs to be extra smart to figure it out. I try to

As an undergraduate student at the University of Washington, I pushed myself to excel academically. I received a BS in Biochemistry and a BA in dance, allowing me to grow into a well-rounded individual. My science training allowed me to develop critical thinking skills that I have been able to apply to everyday problems, and share with the students i tutored for three years. As a tutor, I helped other students gain a better grasp of microbiology, physiology, anatomy, biochemistry, and genetics, and hopefully inspired them to also aim for excellence in their studies. My experience as a tutor also helped me to develop leadership skills; I organized and lead Biochemistry review sessions for groups of 20-30 students for two years. My philosophy on teaching is not centered just on the concept at hand, but rather on the goal of helping the student develop the skills to expand on that concept a

I teach with a lot of involvement and attention to each child's needs. I am passionate about what I do. I love children and I teach my own son maths in a fun and creative way. I once taught a child struggling in maths and he was able to ace in his exams after my efforts. Every child has potential and needs to gain confidence in his/her abilities. I can bring out the best in your child through hard work, compassion, and through intelligent and creative ideas. I was a graduate assistant at YSU for a year during my Masters degree.I taught engineering and mathematics coursework and gave exam papers. I also corrected/checked exam papers. I completed my Masters degree in Mechanical engineering. Because of this exposure I am excellent with teaching Mathematics, algebra, advanced mathematics and also physics, chemisty and biology for elementary, middle and high school level. I have mentored n

I've been teaching most of my life, first as a rank one student to my classmates and friends and later as a physics and math instructor. I enjoy showing the easy ways to go through complicated looking problems and concepts to my students and I like to witness their academic accomplishments which build the confident to be successful in life as well. As a mom, I've learned to be patient and easy going. As a teacher, I try to find the best approach for individual students. Some of them need more guided practice and examples, while some benefit from independent work. My pace and level of difficulty in teaching will be determined by the student background and potential and it usually goes from slow/easy to harder/faster.

For me, teaching is the most rewarding experience you could ask for. I love to teach, whether its an elementary student, high school student, or even someone in their college years. Patience is the most important thing to keep in mind when tutoring. Many people just keep talking a pushing when a student just isn't getting it. Instead, I try to listen more and see what the underlying issue is. I have found that is the best way to really succeed. The concept of "staying positive" is also extremely important to me. You have to be optimistic in order to learn, and that is the type of learning environment that I strive to promote. I recently graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a Bachelor in Business Administration with a concentration in Accounting, which has enabled me to gain substantial knowledge in many areas of business and math. I also received a minor in Sociology. This mino

As a psychology major I was fascinated with how the mind works in all arenas. I learned the various methodologies used in teaching people and found in my tutoring that finding a way to present even the most difficult material in a manner to make it understandable is greatly satisfying. Through tutoring and teaching others I gained a higher comprehension of the material at hand and learned more about both myself and people in general. I firmly believe that there's no such thing as an idea or topic that can not be taught to someone who wants to learn regardless of academic leveling. For as long as I can remember I have loved to learn. Through college I tutored in psychology, english, the arts, statistical math, and certain classifications of sciences. My favorites were psychology and english because of the freedom you can give due to interpretaional material.

In my teaching style I strive for excellence with all my students to reach their potential while under my teaching them. I am committed to improving their understanding of concepts and skills taught and for them to learn to take responsibility for their learning, too. It is important that I observe and listen to find what method of learning suits my students best. Some need a very structured approach, while others need to learn through a hands-on discovery approach. I believe that communication is essential and possible with my students even if we don't speak the same language, with cooperation from the parents as also very important. My approach is to treat each other with respect and embrace diversity. It is my goal to make a positive impact on all my students.
