I will graduate this summer with a doctorate of arts in Mathematics. I have taught a total of 14 undergraduate-level mathematics courses in a broad range of subject ranging from developmental math to linear algebra. As an undergraduate, I worked part time in the Idaho State University tutoring center tutoring mathematics up to the calculus 3 level. I am a very energetic and interactive teacher. I am quite patient with my students and try to use many different techniques to allow for different learning styles. I find that I can effectively motivate my students and get them excited about math.

I like to start tutoring students by determining what the student's strengths and weaknesses are and building a strategy from there. When a student doesn't understand a new concept, I like to go through every step of the process with them to figure out where the stumbling block is, using a variety of ways to explain the concept to assess which strategy works best for each student. Ultimately my goal is to see each student "get it" and overcome obstacles in learning math, so the student can independently understand new concepts enough to use them without much coaching. I have 2 years experience in tutoring high-school and college-level math and computer science (programming and database design) while studying computer science in college from 1996-1998. During that time I also taught small classes in computer usage (email and internet) at the Kennewick Senior Center. I later earned a bache

I love teaching and working with all students. I believe everyone can learn, no matter the difficulties faced in the past or present. I educate on the belief that because everyone is unique, everyone also has a unique way of learning. I am available to help your son or daughter to find academic success in a way that is tailored to their needs. I am patient, easy going, and considerate, while still impassioned to challenge and inspire. My goal is to provide the best education possible, not just in teaching a subject, but also helping your son or daughter to learn to grow academically. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and hands on approach. As a graduate from University of Idaho, I was very much driven to reach a higher level of excellence in education, leadership, and support of my peers. I have earned a BS in Chemistry, which has allowed me to gain an understanding

My experience as a teacher has given me the opportunity to teach math, science, history, literature, reading and writing to a very diverse group of students. These students vary in development, both academically and socially, and I adjust my delivery of instruction to meet the needs of all. I continue to work with students who function above, on and below grade level expectations and together we meet or exceed the classroom teacher’s expectations. In following Constructivist methods of instruction, we use class discussion, open ended questions and cooperative learning to facilitate a highly interactive and inquisitive classroom atmosphere. In my instruction I apply research-based strategies, theories, new techniques, and modern methods of instruction. I put a lot of thought and work in to creating my lesson plans. This can be seen in the detail that I provide on each plan. I pay car

Holding a Master’s Degree in Literacy across the Content Areas, I truly believe that that every human being should have the right and opportunity to be able to read. In my years as a writer of curriculum and as an academic trainer, I have worked diligently to embed literacy strategies in every professional learning experience I create and present. In my most recent position as an ACP Supervisor, I coach and train teachers daily to assist them in improving their teaching practice. I am passionate about literacy! I believe that everyone has a different learning style and requires a teacher/tutor who can be flexible and adapt to his/her learning style. My goal as a teacher is to create lifelong learners who enjoy learning through a variety of hands-0n activites. Learning is fun and occurs through discovery and problem-solving.My job is to facilitate the learning process and allow the studen

I have a passion for teaching and working with children to help them be successful. I always have the goal to make all the students I come into contact leave wanting to be life long learners. This doesn't go without saying that it is an easy task. It is a challenge I am prepared for. I like to know the goals of each student I am working with and their expectations of where they would like to be. I like to keep track of their work so they can look back and see how far they have progressed. Most people can’t recall their first days of school, but I can.While the fashions changed as I entered each grade, I was always filled excitement.It was equivalent to the feeling you get at Christmas, but better!The present you were getting on the warm August day was a new teacher, a new desk, and new friends. It is those same feelings that drew me to wanting to be an educator.I have experiences in vari

Every child learns in a different way and I consider it my responsibility as an instructor to discover the methods that help students dissect and retain information. I have found that excitement for your subject is crucial in making learning fun. I enjoy finding creative ways to help students tackle problems, whether mathematical or verbal. I am patient, friendly, and know the importance of encouragement for a job well done. After a tutoring session, I would want the student to come away feeling challenged and rewarded. I know the necessity of a good education and I would do everything possible to empower my students to be successful in that endeavor. I have always had a deep appreciation for knowledge and education. I hold a BS in Marine Science (Oceanography), through which I took many high level science and math courses. I recently completed an MS in Environmental Science and Pol

I tutored my way through 5 years of college. Most of that tutoring took place in drop-in learning centers at Blue Mountain Community College and Eastern Oregon University. In that time I have tutored every aspect of mathematics from remedial arithmetic to calculus and statistics, and won the 2009 EOU Award for Outstanding Academic Support. I have worked with high school teenagers while student-teaching in pursuit of a Master’s degree in education, but I learned that I am far more effective as a one-on-one troubleshooter than a classroom ringmaster. I am a troubleshooter. In my experience, there is usually one aspect of mathematics that a student has never been comfortable with, one aspect that poisons his or her interactions with all other facets of the subject. I begin by meeting a student on his or her own terms: we talk about the class and we go over the exercises that the studen

I have spent 13 years working at Pacific Northwest National laboratory. During this time I have gained experience with several different types of chromatography systems and various mass spectrometers. I have developed several methods for sample analysis drawing on my chemistry experience. I have authorship on several peer reviewed journal articles and have written one book chapter as well. Since I was in college at Eastern Oregon University I have enjoyed working with children to educate them and foster enthusiasm for the sciences, especially chemistry. As an active member of the chemistry club at EOU I volunteered in dozens of elementary chemistry demonstration in the LaGrande OR area. I also participated in summer chemistry camps during this time. After graduation I have voluteered at area high schools during national chemistry week for the local chapter of the American Chemical S
