I have been professionally teaching for almost 30 years whether it be swimming to five year olds or flying to heads of aviation organizations. Few things give greater satisfaction than sharing what I have learned with others and watching them grow as they learn. A skilled, dedicated teacher, with a passion for the subject, can get anyone to learn, all the learner needs is a little desire. It is my job as a teacher/mentor to explore and grow that desire. I believe in a relaxed, but disciplined teaching environment of mutual respect between teacher and learner where both can learn from each other.
I have been a professional instructor pilot for 20 years teaching pilots from over 30 different countries in English and Spanish. I have a BS in Zoology, an MA in Information Management, and am working on an MS in Aeronautical Science. I have ten years grammar school, high school (AP) ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am very flexible in my teaching style and usually spend the first session gauging how the student learns. I am very patient and understanding however I strive to help the student discover their full potential. I have used many creative methods to teaching to include relating addition and subtraction to yards down on a football field, teaching trig by building and launching rockets, basically connecting what needs to be learned to what interests the student.

My teaching style involves being open and relatable while keeping he conversation related to learning and the subjects of importance. I feel like students respond best when they are in a positive work environment and are pushed to be their best. This involves teaching through the Socratic method, of forcing individuals to answer their own questions. I believe that tutors and teachers should be providing students with the tools and skills they need to be productive students instead of giving away answers.
I have been tutoring as a volunteer and as a job for a combined 7 years now. I have worked in both one on one tutoring with a dyslexic student, tutoring in specialized topics, and group peer tutoring. My longest individual tutoring experience has been with Aidan, who is dyslexic and I have been working with for 4 years. We focus on taking the larger, more daunting tasks and b ... read more

The cliche saying of "practice makes perfect" does not stray too far from the core of my teaching philosophy, however I do differ on a key point. I believe that practicing anything (whether or not it relates to academics) can only be done successfully if certain foundational skills are present; just as a baseball player, regardless of inherent talent, will fail if they do not know how to hold a bat correctly, so will an English student fail, regardless of the inherent quality of their thought processes, if they do not understand how to properly structure an essay. Practice must thus be accompanied with structured guidance in order to ensure that a strong foundation is in place.
I hold an MAT (Master of Arts in Teaching) degree from the University of Puget Sound, am Washington State certified to teach secondary English/Language Arts, and am passionate about helping others to devel ... read more

Though my primary study has been of a religious nature, I am very skilled in the other subjects of a quality educational foundation, as well. I am especially gifted at math as I scored a 730 in math on my SAT's. In 2003 I worked at Cedarcrest High School in Duvall as Special Education Assistant tutoring students with ADD and ADHD. I have also taught in a private kindergarten in Taiwan. I have had many positive experiences mentoring high school and middle school students in faith based organizations. In recent years I have served as a mentor, guide, and teacher in non-profit settings primarily investing in young adults between 18 and 30. During this time I have also mentored high school interns in my non-profit leadership roles.

I recently graduated from the Evergreen State College with a degree in mathematics. My other fields of study included chemistry, computer science, and physics. I have numerous hours of laboratory experience to support my in class and text book understanding of the materials covered. I've been a tutor at TESC for 3 years now working with students from all walks of life and working on any scientific material I've had any experience with.
I believe that whenever I'm working with a student they have the capacity to learn and internalize the material. I believe that the student can learn the material. My method of mathematical and scientific instruction is based off the Polya style of teaching where the instructor guides their students by questions and reviewing the known information. Thus the student's questions drive the student towards the answer desired. I find great personal reward ... read more

My goals is to get the student up to speed so they can succeed on their own. In mathematics, problems can be solved several different ways, so I adapt the method I teach to what is most natural to the student. I believe everyone has mathematical ability, but not everyone approaches problems the same way. If the student has problems in school, it's not because they're incapable. A little personal attention can help them reach their potential.
I have been tutoring since my sophomore year at the University of Puget Sound. I tutor mathematics exclusively because it's my area of expertise as well as what I'm passionate about. My first tutoring jobs were referred to me by professors, where I privately tutored secondary school students in-home. During my junior and senior years I worked for the University as a peer tutor, tutoring lower division students in calculus and statistics. C ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have worked with at-risk children in the Chicago Public Schools system to teach a wide range of skills, primarily focusing on college readiness skills, essay and resume writing, ACT preparation, and remedial and advanced reading techniques. I am also highly qualified to teach speech and journalism, and have a year of experience in each as well. I feel I can make the most impact on students when I work with them one-on-one, and so I am excited to transition from the full-time teaching to the tutoring field.
I consider myself to be fun and entertaining and very approachable in my teaching methods. I never lose patience with students and believe that making mistakes is equally as important as making progress. All students can become better writers with a little hard work and a bit of desire to do so, and I can give them the tools to produce their best writing to date.

I believe that instilling the confidence to learn is the key to effective instruction. Students need confidence not only in their instructor’s mastery of the subject matter, but also in their own ability to gain their own such master. This is not to suggest that rigor should not be applied, but rather that a student must have an emotional engagement with the learning process and a sense of their own progress, however minimal it might seem at a particular time. Frustration is the primary obstacle to successful learning and overcoming it is the instructor’s chief task.
From 2005 to 2008 I worked as a teacher and tutor for a Seattle-based test preparation firm. I taught classes for the SAT and GRE and tutored the SAT, GRE, and ACT. I believe I met and exceeded the high standards set by this organization. In 2008 I worked as a regional field director for the Obama campaign in several s ... read more

Being a father myself, I am an avid believer in providing our children with a strong education. I believe all children have the ability to succeed at any subject; they just need the appropriate teaching method presented to them for their unique learning style. I am a patient, hands on, thorough educator, allowing my students to discover their own potential in a supportive environment. I am proof that a single good teacher can help a child find their passion in life, I strive to be that educator with all my students.
As a current graduate student, pursuing my master degree in chemistry I am driven to achieve a higher level of understanding during my education. During my undergraduate studies at Western Washington University, I was privileged enough to take part in research and published my work in a major scientific journal.

I began teaching remedial math and English skills to college age students/returning Vietnam vets in Colorado in the 1970's. Since that time, I have tutored kids of all ages in those same skills. Knowing first hand how difficult it is to "re-learn" basic skills, I have a great passion to help kids learn correctly at the beginning. I worked as a free-lance tutor and volunteer ESL instructor from 1995 to 2005 From 2005 to 2010, I tutored on a permanent part-time basis at a Learning Center and worked with hundreds of kids during that period. I am currently a Homework Help volunteer at the library. My experience, empathy and proven ablility to help children learn are my strongest attributes.
As an educator, I strive to discern the individual needs of each student and tailor my approach accordingly. I use my communication skills and extensive experience to explain concepts ... read more

I am patient, considerate, and teach with a style that makes a student feel good about himself/herself. I have straight-forward expectations and work with my student to hone them to a particular subject or situation. I am funny, and I work hard to create activities that are appropriately challenging, but fun. I want my students to miss me when I am not there!

I believe that every child is capable of learning, and once they see how a subject is relevant to their life and goals, they usually want to learn all they can about it. I try to make academic subjects relevant by introducing real-life applications. Once a student is interested in learning, we can move on to study strategies tailored to each child's individual learning style, and develop a plan whereby the student can progress on his or her own time. At that point, tutoring sessions can focus on working through difficult problems and identifying areas where I can provide extra help and expertise.
As a child, I wasn't very interested in science, math, or the outdoors. It took an inspiring high school teacher who challenged me with interesting projects to show me how fascinating biology and ecology were. I strive to be that kind of teacher- not just to show my students how to get t ... read more
