If anyone is looking for a tutor, I would be willing to help. I'm a senior in college studying math and physics. I got a 35 on the math portion of my ACT. I have multiple undergraduate research experiences in mathematics. Both of those research projects have been presented at math conferences. One has been published and the other publication is in progress. I have gotten an A every Calculus, Discrete Mathematics, and Logic course I have taken in college. In high school I was a 4 year veteran in scholastic bowl. I also did math team for 4 years and qualified for state three times. I was a member of Worldwide Youth of Science and Engineering (WYSE) team for three years which included a trip to the state tournament. I can tutor on the college level for math and I can tutor on the high school level for computer science, chemistry and history. I try to make my rates very affordable. Let me

Received an A in all Algebra classes, including Honors Algebra in high school, College Algebra (taken in high school, and again in 2003 while attending Millikin). I received a special honor on a project in my high school College Algebra class. I have tutored junior high and high school students in algebra, and also tutored for junior high algebra within the Decatur Public School District while working as a Teaching Assistant at Johns Hill Magnet School. I am a visceral teacher. I like to use illustrations whenever possible, videos, photographs, drawings... I like making connections to things that may seem unrelated - I think this strengthens neuro-pathways and thought processes. I also think that laughter stimulates learning, so I like students to feel at ease - I will make myself look dumb if it will make someone laugh and relax. I am a natural teacher - it's what I do when I'm not

I have a BS in psychology with a minor in biology from the University of Illinois. My focus has been on medicine and science, working in adult medical education for over 12 years. I owned a medical education company for five years, working with physicians who would be considered the top two percent in their fields in the world. We developed curriculum for doctors, pharmacists and nurses to teach them about new drugs and new research, all with the hope of improving patient care. During this time, I honed my grammar skills by writing and editing journal articles and medical monographs. Along with my experience in adult education, I have always had a love for children. Shortly after college, I worked in and then ran a before and after-school program for an elementary school. Over the years, I have helped students in an unofficial tutoring capacity in many subjects, from teaching m

I work best with older individuals. I feel that I can provide the best services to those in high school or older. As someone that works with the public at a bank, I generally have to provide information (sometimes complex information) to individuals from all walks of life. Sometimes I am dealing with a University professor and sometimes someone who never went to high school. My ability to translate my knowledge in different ways to different walks of life will be beneficial to anyone that I am helping learn. I graduated from Eastern Illinois University with a degree in Economics with a Business Administration minor. I started off as a Finance/Account major but switched after I took some economics courses as electives. With that being the case, most of my business admin credit hours came in accounting and finance. Additionally, I had credit hours in statistics and calculus as I fel

I've earned BS in molecular and cellular Biology and Pre-Medicine. My educational background has helped me gain excellent understanding in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and math. I've also solidified my teaching and communication skills through my work as a tutor at Parkland College and my volunteer work at local hospitals and Red Cross. During my work as a tutor I've tutored college students in Biology, Math, Chemistry, and Organic Chemistry. I like to help people in any way I can. I worked as tutor for federally funded TRIO department where I helped economically disadvantaged and first generation college students who had difficulty with the class material. I'm very patient, easy to get along with, and good at developing rapport with my students. I'm good at understanding students’ learning styles and very flexible in changing my teaching styles according to students' needs. I always try

I truly enjoy teaching basic physics and mathematics and have been told I am pretty good at it. One of my greatest strengths is the ability to explain a concept in different ways, as of course, people don’t all learn the same way. There’s nothing more rewarding than finding the right explanation and watching the light bulb come on when a student grasps a concept with which they were struggling. Although I am pretty good at classroom presentation, my favorite interaction is one-on-one or in small groups, when teaching can occur that is tailored to an individual. I am very patient and easygoing and like working with people of all ages. If there’s a student that truly wants to learn, I’ll do my best to teach. I haven’t failed yet. I graduated with a BS in Physics from U of I. Returning for grad school after the Navy, I earned my M.S. in Physics and did advanced work before deciding n

I am a very laid-back, out going person but I never stray from the main goal at hand. I strive to help educate children the best way possible, and would like to make a difference in their life. My education growing up was very positive, and going to a smaller school enabled me to have one on one contact with my educators. I hope to allow the child to feel comfortable with me as a tutor and build a relationship that makes them feel like they are an individual, not a number. As a recreation major, I have held a number of jobs working with children of all ages. My first job as a lifeguard and swim instructor helped me understand how to work with children ages three to fifteen and really get a feel for how their brains operate and the proper learning styles to use for each age. Moving on to my job as a camp counselor and staff member at 4-H Memorial Camp in Monticello I really started to fam

I just graduated from Indiana University a semester early. I have a B.S. in chemistry with a math minor. During my college career I worked in a chemistry lab and this helped me learn and understand all aspects of chemistry and I trained 2 undergrads. I was also taught chemistry at after school programs and tutored students. I started tutoring math to people in high school but through college I tutored chemistry. I love them both. I have also worked as a camp counselor 3 years. I worked with children ages 4-13. I absolutely love working with children up through high school level. Since I have worked with many different children and people I know that everyone is different. I am confident that I can figure out how someone learns best by trying different ways of teaching until we find the right way. I am very laid back but extremely motivated and I want to push people.

Studying in a top-tier university allow me to achieve extensively in education.My strength in academic and communication allow me to provide necessary academic support to individuals on multiple subjects such as statistics, economics and finance. I believe the experience of teaching others is also an experience for me to learn. I enjoy delivering my knowledge to others. From my past experience, I enjoyed not only the moments of sharing my understanding of certain subjects with others, but also helping others to develop better study habits and more importantly confidence in achieving higher level of academic performance. I believe the importance of giving students the fundamentals and then providing necessary guidance.

My vision is to help all students appreciate higher level of science and math education which I believe is a crucial component in the welfare and prosperity of our modern society. My background in earning a master of atmospheric science, bachelor of science degree in physics, radiation and applied physics with minor in mathematics has helped me grasp a well rounded and vast technical knowledge in the areas of science/math. I have a high level of experience in research, problem solving skills, laboratory skills and applications of science in the real world. I had two years of experience as a physics tutor and enjoyed sharing my passion and knowledge in science and math to my students. Albert Einstein has said, "It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge." The goal of my teaching style would to help bring joy in creative expression and knowledge

I believe that instilling a passion for math and science can only come from witnessing it. My tutoring style encompasses core knowledge, study skills, and real-world experience within the field of science. Your child's tutoring session will focus on how to find information needed in order to answer key questions along with providing insight into why science and math are imperative in today's world. When considering a tutor for your child, both academic excellence and teaching experience are critical factors. With double degrees in biology and chemistry, I am well-equipped with the knowledge to sculpt your child's science and math skills. My dedication can be seen through the various academic awards I received, such as graduating summa cum laude and being honored as the top organic chemist of my year. Having taught university-level supplemental chemistry courses for 3 years, I am well-ver
