More About This Tutor...

I have recently completed Calculus II and III courses with a 4.0 GPA. I have a Bachelors degree in Finance and love math and learning. I have a family of teachers and believe I could connect with a student and help promote their learning experience. I am highly aware of the value of mathematics and science in the job market now and in the future and would find the job of helping younger students grow in their abilities to be a rewarding experience. I have experience tutoring part -time in a University setting and know I am capable of explaining subject matter clearly.

A Little Bit About Me...

Math is my passion in life! I have tutored family and friends for many years in Math. I would like to become a high school Math teacher someday, and in the meantime, I would like to get more teaching experience. I enjoy making those who have struggled with Math feel like it is not overwhelming after all.

My comments on tutoring Algebra : For first Algebra I lesson I wouldn't charge you. Let's try it and see how it works

I have 3 years of tutoring experience for German and ESOL in Germany as well as in the United States. As a tutor I helped with reading, writing and homework as well as with correcting essays in cooperation with my students. Also, I advised in sentence structures, vocabulary and proper pronunciation and taught aspects of German and American culture.
Depending on the student's needs.

My comments on tutoring Algebra : I can help in all sorts of beginning algebra concepts such as: algebraic expressions, solving basic and multi-step equations, graphing linear equations, solving and graphing inequalities, factoring polynomials, and more.

I am very friendly and try to put my students at ease by reviewing things to see what they already know and making them feel successful right from the start.
I taught lower grades for 33 years in San Jose, CA. I have a master's degree from San Jose State College. I have tutored for many years, have been a substitute teacher in both Camas and Washougal schools, and taught in the Adult Education program at Clark College for 4 years to adults who needed never finished high school and needed to get their GED.

A Little Bit About Me...

I received a BS in Computer Science, software engineering, and a minor in Mathematics. I worked for one year at the TLC, or Teaching Learning Center, where upper classmen would tutor other students taking courses they had already taken and done quite well in. I tutored mostly computer courses (programming, excel, etc), but there were also days when I was asked to tutor Calculus.
I like to start by encouraging the student to demonstrate what they know, and then give them a little nudge of guidance when they come to something that confuses them. If they're really stumped, then I try to teach them first from a conventional standpoint, then switch to a more example-based explanation. There is almost always an example or an analogy that can explain something that is confusing a student. Sometimes it takes a few examples before you find the one that makes sense to that person, but w ... read more

During the last four years, I have spent a large amount of time working with, and around middle school and High school students. I have spent time in the classroom, worked with small groups, and spent one summer working with multiple summer camps up and down the coast. I love working with students, especially individually or in smaller groups. I also have expierence as a help desk specialist, which allows me to work with and around computers. I can help students understand how to use the tools they already have to help with their classroom activities and assignments, such as calculators, and computers.
My teaching style focuses on teaching students how to find the big picture. If they understand what it is they are trying to do, then showing them how to get there becomes easier. Any student can learn math, and have the capability to understand numbers, this just comes harder for so ... read more

I have always ended up in leadership positions which gives me the opportunity to teach. I generally supervise adults and in this role act as teacher for processes, procedures, rules and general good practices. I am a great learner, which I think makes for a great teacher because I want to be sure that whomever I am working with finds the excitement in really understanding a topic. Many of the people I work with tell me I should be a teacher. I do also have two children, girls, seven and five. They are of course much different than adults, much quicker and very capable of absorbing lots of material.
I really like to teach but only topics I really believe in. I am not a good salesperson for the same reason, if I don't believe in something you can see right through me. I have seen too many adults and kids taught the steps to something, do "A" then do "B" then do "C". Thi ... read more

Graduating from three different institutions, I have earned two master and a bachelor degrees – MS in Biology and MA in Special Education, and BA in Biology. Math and Science have my main strengths in earning the degrees. Being deaf since birth, I have learned a lot about deaf people – especially children with their delayed language and math skills. I want to give something back of what I have excelled in education. Many people and children deserve the education and help they need in order to make progress in math.
Teaching for 11 years in deaf education, I have enjoyed seeing a growth in my students’ math academic progress in middle school and high school level. Most children who are deaf have a delay in language learning. A deaf child who uses sign language, English is not their first language. Math, reading, and writing are the three academic subjects that require special goal ... read more

As an English major I have always enjoyed and excelled in the field. I was top of my class in high school. I also aided in the kindergarten class. I changed my major in college because I knew English was my calling. I have a Bachelor's degree from Warner Pacific. I enjoyed my classes and did extremely well. I aided at Clackamas High for a while, where I enjoyed the one on one with the students. In my current job I have trained and taught many associates. I am a perfectionist who pays great attention to detail. I love to read, write and create. I have always wanted to work as a tutor.
I love teaching and working with children. I love English. I love seeing the expression in the eye of a student who finally understands the concepts.

I have always found that one-on-one teaching is my forte. Even when I teach a class of 40 students, I find ways for them to work collaboratively, and so that I can also work with the ones that need the most help. I have been tutoring and teaching for 16 years, and I know all the tricks to being a good tutor, such as explaining a concept in as many possible ways in order to get the student to understand the concept. I have received high accolades as a tutor and teacher. This is what I was born to do. When I teach a class I have high expectations of the students. I believe this is important for them to learn what is expected of them, and so that they can succeed in the subsequent levels of math without falling behind.
I started out as a student tutor in the early 90's in California. I finished my MA in mathematics in 2000 at Cal State Sacramento. I have been teaching the past 10 year ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I recently earned my M.S. in a psychology program that was heavily research based. Throughout my coursework, lab experience, and graduate teaching assistantship I have develop a high level of mastery in statistical analysis. This includes inferential and descriptive statistics as well as probability. Moreover, these experiences have provided me with strong technical writing skills due to drafting laboratory results, research papers, presentations, and other literature reviews in various subjects.
I believe that each person has a different style of learning. Therefore, I try to adjust my teaching style based on the individual. While this is not possible in a classroom setting it is possible in a tutoring situation. Furthermore, I am a big proponent of making the subject personally relevant. Research shows that doing this streamlines the transition from short-term memory into ... read more

Tutoring math has been a passion of mine since I was a child. I always helped my friends in school, and I volunteer tutored at various times throughout the years. I have over 4 years experience teaching high school math, as a licensed teacher in North Carolina. I have the most experience teaching Algebra II, Geometry, and AP Statistics, but I also taught Algebra I and Pre-Calculus. I worked as an engineer prior to becoming a teacher, so I can often relate how certain concepts are used in the “real world.” I am currently pursuing a Masters in Statistics at Portland State University. I would be happy to send my resume and references.
Math can be fun! I have activities for a variety of math subjects (particularly Algebra II, Geometry, and AP Statistics) that can break up the routine a bit. It is most important to make a human connection with the learner. Using his or her inte ... read more
