Experience Summary
During my undergraduate years, I worked extensively as an Advanced Peer Tutor and Classroom coach at Cabrini College in the Mathematics Department. As a classroom coach, I attended two math courses a week and then held office hours for those students. In the class, I reviewed homework assignments for the professor and helped students with questions during exams. I have a BS in Biology, but as an Honors Student I gained a depth of knowledge across a variety of disciplines. As state previously, I tutored College Mathematics: Algebra, Geometry, Statistics, and Calculus. The other subjects I am skilled in are Biology, Chemistry, and Writing. I also baby-sit two elementary-aged children, and assist them in their homework.
Teaching Style
In my office hours, I would tutor students individually on the areas in which they had difficulty. My teaching style is sculpted to fit each individual student. Sometimes students would benefit from me working through each mathematical question on the board and working through them step by step. Other times students learned better by doing most of the work on their own, with helpful reminders along the way. My goal as a tutor is to give students the confidence to learn the material and give the most guidance in the beginning, and slowly give less guidance as they become more proficient with the subject.
