My greatest learning experiences were the result of inquiries by my students. A student must master mathematical operations with: whole numbers, integers, fractions, decimals, and percents before more abstract mathematical concepts such as algebra, geometry; trigonometry, statistics, calculus, etc. can be understood. A good teacher can assess and strengthen the student's ability to comprehend abstract principles of higher order math problems. I integrate mathematical concepts into meaningful contexts that engage the student’s interests whatever they may be i.e. sports, nature, science, finances, entertainment, transportation, etc. It is essential to know your student as an individual. In the year 2001 I began a teacher preparation program at the University of Northern Colorado. I managed to complete the teacher education program in 2007 with a 3.85 GPA. In fulfillment of my teaching drea

I believe it is best to offer guidance, and allow the student to go through the process of discovery. Things learned independently are much more prized and valuable. Of course, one cannot let them flounder too long so that discouragement sets in. And it is best to find out what they like, and to work with that as much as possible. While in New York, I worked for two years as a teacher of Science at a Junior High school in the Bronx. There I was awarded "Rookie-Teacher-of-the-Year." For one year, I also tutored after school to earn extra money. I have also taught in California and Santa Fe, NM. My passion is to be an International speaker on the topics of Metaphysics and Spirituality.

I believe all students are capable of creativity and learning, and that education is a two-way process, where students and teachers collaborate to advance one another's understanding of the world. My style reflects that teaching and discovery work together to produce superior educational outcomes. Patience and understanding are very natural to me and are reflected by my easy-going demeanor. Often many approaches exist to solve challenging exercises so it is important to demostrate varying methods during instruction. I also enjoy incorporating technology to cement and augment understanding. I understand that a few great teachers can make all the difference to students and I strive to be such an individual. Driven towards excellence in education, I have earned a bachelor's degree in geography with an emphasis in computer information systems. The broadness of geography as a field has ser

With a BBA in Finance from the University of New Mexico I have a high appreciation for education and I enjoy contributing to those who want to achieve degrees. I tutored financial management to my peers for three semesters when I was a University student myself. I have been tutoring math at San Juan College for two semesters and plan on teaching as an adjunct faculty member this fall. In addition to my professional work experience I have thoroughly enjoyed helping students who want to succeed. My teaching style is unique to each student due to the fact that everyone learns in different ways. I do stay consistent in coaching through how to problem solve because I don’t want my students to become dependent upon me. They need to learn how to utilize all resources when studying both independently and in a group setting. At San Juan College I work with students who have struggle with math and

Having earned a Ph.D. in Biostatistics from one of the top statistics schools in the country, I not only know the mathematics behind statistical theory - I have applied statistics in a wide variety of research settings. An ongoing aspect of working as a statistician is using clear communication to explain techniques and results in layman's terms. I believe statistical knowledge is useful to everyone in everyday life and should be fun for the student to learn. I have tutored students on and off since I was an undergraduate. I can tutor all levels of mathematics, including calculus and trigonometry, and statistics. I am familiar with the local curriculum via substitute teaching and tutoring neighborhood students. I enjoy working one on one with a wide variety of students - those with solid backgrounds in mathematics, as well as those who have had difficulties with mathematics their entire
