Physics Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Alder Creek, NY

I love teaching. I always get well prepared before I sit down with someone. A couple of hours of preparation beforehand can make the difference between a tedious, unproductive experience and one that encourages the student and makes the excited about learning. I try to help with sticking points and not to lecture. I have discovered that people tend to remember answer to their questions and if I try to explain a deeper meaning it will only bore them and make them less interested. At the University of Illinois at Chicago I earned a bachelor's of science degree in electrical engineering and worked as a teaching assistant for three sememsters of graduate school. After leaving the university I tutored former students from my labs in math, science, engineering, and programming. I did this as hobby. I enjoy working with students. I am currently helping someone working on a master's degr

As a graduate of the University of Rochester, I have obtained a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science. Aside from this, I also have a minor in Economics, as well as a concentration in English. Throughout this coursework I have written numerous research papers and essays, and as a result I believe I have very strong written, grammatical, and reading comprehension skills. I have a thorough knowledge of English and literature, as well as economics and political science. I believe it is very important to be constructive and patient when it comes to teaching. I believe that I am thoughtful, patient, considerate, and compassionate when it comes to teaching. I feel that it is extremely important not to give the student all the answers, but to assist them so they are able to use reasoning to figure out the solutions themselves. I feel that it is very possible that one person can be able to help

I enjoy teaching and working with children. I am patient, understanding, and considerate. I believe there are many different styles of learning and I strive to incorporate them into my teaching. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to learning. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives. I received my Associates degree in adolescence education and my Bachelors degree in Physics and Mathematics (double major), all while carrying a grade point average of 3.2. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers and laboratory reports, along with essays in many various areas of study. During the last four months I have been a substitute teacher for the Rome City Sch

My teaching experience began almost as soon as my higher education did, beginning as a Red Cross CPR instructor and then a volunteer tutor while an undergraduate. After earning my bachelor's degree, I worked with trouble youth. A desire to extend my learning led me to seek a Master's degree while working as a public school teacher. I continued with my goal to earn a doctoral degree and extended my teaching experience to the college level. I am a strong proponent of critical thinking skills. For me, teaching is much more than being a content expert, but also a patient, yet demanding coach. Rote memorization is never enough; a thorough understanding of the underlying concepts and facts is crucial in achieving true mastery of a subject. The dynamic presentation style from my classroom work is brought to one-on-one tutoring as well.

As a recent college graduate, I have a fresh idea of what goes on in the mind of a student. I know that there are various techniques that work best for one student over another and an educator must be flexible in molding their teaching style towards these strengths. I have found in my classroom experiences that in order for students to reach their full potential they must have interactions with an educator who shows flexibility, enthusiasm, and an all around interest in the students success. I have a great enthusiasm for learning and spreading knowledge and I try to transfer this enthusiasm to all my students. I make every effort to ensure all my students learn in an environment where they can successfully work towards their learning goals. In being a student the majority of my life, I know what it is like to have educational goals and to work towards them. I have attained 2 bachelor deg

In college, I in part supported myself by tutoring in math and organic chemistry. I have earned a BS in Biology and a Doctorate in Medicine (but I am retired from clinical practice). My education has given me expertise in the areas of biology, chemistry, math and anatomy. I have supplemented this knowlege with self study in grammar and creative writing. I have won writing contest and have published many letters to the editor. During the last 6 years I have tutored students seeking to obtain their GED, in all subject areas. Learning and teaching is my passion. In high school it ws teachers with the same passion that made learning fun and encouraged me to achieve academic success. Most any subject can be made interesting if approached the right way. Mostly it is about patience and good respectful communication. I especially cherish working with young children who are usually starving for r

As far back as I can remember, I have always helped the people around me with their schoolwork: classmates, friends, family, anyone who is struggling unnecessarily. I enjoy teaching, and have been tutoring on a professional basis for well over 10 years now. I specialize in college level mathematics, but I have also tutored students in physics, chemistry, computer science, economics, engineering, and any related fields. I have tutored students in elementary school, high school, undergraduate and graduate level college, and occasionally professionals in need of assistance with some aspect of their work. All students have different learning styles, and the greatest advantage of one-on-one tutoring or small-group learning sessions is that the instruction can be adopted to each individual student's needs. I am patient and observant, and encourage students to learn in ways that suit them best.

I have more than 30 years experience working in many aspects of the Information Technology field. My job titles run the gamut of Application Programmer, System Programmer, System Analyst, Software Engineer, Department Manager, Director of IT, and IT Consultant. Industrywise, I’ve enjoyed working in Manufacturing, Distribution, Retail, Product Development, and Health Care. Also, I’ve had an avocation working with youth through the American Youth Soccer Organization as a coach, official, and administrator. Life moves fast, learn and enjoy as much as you can. I teach with enthusiasm and enjoyment. A large whiteboard or table space for legal pads is a must. Students need to visualize concepts to grasp them. All errors are learning experiences, life is 'trial and error'.

I believe that people have different preferred learning styles. Some are visual learners, some audio, some physical, and some use pure intellect. Often, class size prohibits even very good educators from catering to the need of each individual's learning style. It is therefore my job to present subject matter by whatever means necessary for my client's learning to flourish, and to facilitate their mastery of the material at hand. The summer after my 8th grade year was my first experience teaching. It was there that I facilitated the younger children's use of the computer facilities during a summer reading program. After that I tutored Math, Earth Science, Physics, and Philosophy to other undergrads at my college's Learning Center. More recently I have been a coach of my own children's baseball and football teams, and a volunteer tutoring math and science at a local private scho

I love helping people learn chemistry. Chemistry is a subject that seems very hard because it is a dicipline. As a tutor I will help students to develop adequate study skills. I will go over several problems with them to make sure they understand the material well enough to solve problems independently. While an undergraduate at a community college I earned three associates degrees, AS in Biology, AS in Chemistry, and an AS in Public Policy. I continued my undergraduate work at Utica College of Syracuse University and I earned a BS in Chemistry. I tutored on an off throughout my two and a half years at community college in subject areas such as chemistry, math, biology, economics and sociology.

My teaching style would be to help the student formulate the problem, enabling them to arrive at the final solution by themselves. If he/she had trouble with this, I would give hints allowing them to find the correct answer. I am also very good with tips at remembering things, especially in math, which I would tell the student so they could have a better grasp of how to set up and solve all different types of problems using a simple, basic format. I have tutored at Clinton Senior High School in the past as a member of the National Honor Society. I am extremely proficient with mathematics having received a BS in mechanical engineering and a minor in mathematics. I did a lot of my school work in groups at college as well, so I am extremely good at working with others and know how to help people work out solutions to problems in order to figure out the answer. I have also played a great

Having completed my B.A. in Mathematics, with a minor in adolescent education, a Computer Science degree, and graduating with a 3.65 GPA, and a 4.0 in content has fueled my success. Combining that with presently finishing my Masters in Teaching with Technology, three years of teaching mathematics and 5 years of tutoring experience, in which I tutored several subjects I feel that I have a lot to add to the success of students. To go along with my education, I have completed several science courses as well as Spanish courses. A second language is required in order to become a certified teacher, as well as a baseline test aligned with all courses in a high school curriculum, in my current state. I have always loved helping people, especially in the way of education. I believe that everyone learns differently, and therefore strive for diversity in teaching. I will exhaust all possible strat

I enjoy tutoring Math because I feel comfortable in giving students an alternate way of understanding the subject outside of their textbook and teacher. I like to introduce to the student alternate ways of “thinking”. Introducing applications of where math is needed or helpful I believe always helps the student learn. In my opinion this is true for all Physics or Electrical Engineering students. I like to take the time with students one-on-one because that was something I didn’t easily have access to as a college student recognized after how much help it could have brought. I worked a year in the Tutoring Department located at Mohawk Valley Community College. This was an open lab which meant 3-4 students would need help at any one particular time period. Subject Help that I was required for involved Pre-Calculus, Calculus (I & II), Physics, Algebra, Trigonometry and basic electrica

I like to combine both direct instruction and hands-on activities when teaching. I believe that allowing students to apply their learning to real-life situations helps them to both find meaning in their learning and attach the learning to a memorable experience. I get really excited about the subjects that I teach and my excitement carries over to my students. And, when students are excited about what they are learning, they want to continue to learn more about that particular subject. I have been a teacher for over six years. I have taught and/or tutored subjects ranging from elementary reading and math to high school math and science. I am permanently certified in New York State to teach Biology and general science. In addition, I am pursuing certificates in both physics and math.
