I have tutored on a volunteer basis with the Holyoke Tutor/Mentor Program for more than a year. I have also tutored privately. My experience has been with adults, however, I would like to add experience working with secondary school students. I can help with SAT's, MCAS, and just provide support for a student who needs some extra help. I like to get a sense of what the student already knows and try to build on that knowledge.

I am completing my MA in Secondary Education from the University Phoenix (Online), needing only a student teaching assignment in the field of secondary mathematics to complete all the degree requirements . I currently hold a BA in Computer Science from Hood College. Prior to pursuing a career in education, I spent 30 years in the aerospace industry managing engineering development programs. During my degree pursuit, I have spent time in middle school and secondary school classrooms both as an observer, and substitute teacher. I believe my combination of a strong content knowledge, advance degree in education, and extensive aerospace experience places me in a strong position to make a valuable contribution to secondary education. My passions for knowledge and the sense of fulfillment I get from learning along with the desire I have for sharing that passion are the foundation of my educ

I believe the best way for someone to learn something is through application and repetition. As both a tutor and youth lacrosse coach I have had success by teaching my students how to approach problems rather than simply giving them answers. I am extremely patient and am very willing to take alternative approaches in helping a student learn. During my undergraduate career at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, I obtained a wealth of knowledge in the fields of math and science. I did this by striving for excellence in the classroom and participating in cutting edge research with professors in the Entomology and Organic Chemistry departments. My extensive knowledge of the subjects I’ve studied has allowed me to assist my friends in understanding complex and difficult problems. This past year I privately tutored classmates in both Statistics and Organic Chemistry.

I have a passion for teaching but waited until I gained some "real world" experience. I found that this has helped me relate to my students since I am able to make meaningful connections to their learning. I like to discover what my students already know about the topic and to expose any misconceptions. Brainstorming activities work well for me. I like to help define the topic in common terms, not the classic dictionary method. I use presentation, discussion, videos and hands on activities. Most of what I do is inquiry based.

I started teaching right out of college. Taught high school and college part time for 6 years. Left teaching for the computer business where I worked for 36 years. Retired from HP in 2001. Went back to teaching. I taught at Mount Royal Academy in Sunapee, NH for 7 years. I taught College Algebra and Pre-Calculus at River Valley Community College i Keene, presently as an Adjunct faculty member. Most Math books recommend teaching for about half the class and then let students work some problems in class. I find this works well, it allows questions and the class becomes interactive. I encourge questions while I am introducing a subject and find it gives me a chance to use different examples to get a poinnt across. Any assignments I give outside the classroom can be addressed in the next class.

I am a very well organized person who can multitask and prioritize extremely well, however to me this important but yet secondary aspect of teaching is next to assisting children develop their social, communication, developmental and learning skills. Creativity in this job is a must and I feel you need to be on the same level as your students to engage them in what you want to teach them. Not all students learn in the same fashion so I feel teaching the same facts but in different ways to target your audience is very key in education. From reading, to visual arts and verbal communication, I feel that they are all just as important as the next one and I would encompass them all into my style of teaching. My tutoring experience consists of friends over the years, however it has always been something I was very good at. I decided to make a career change after working at Fidelity Invest

No one teaching style works with all students, or even a majority of them. I enjoy the challenge of finding ways to make academic subjects interesting and relevant to different students. I usually use a combination of guided discovery, question-and-answer, and hands-on approaches to teaching and learning. My broad-based educational background gives me a firm foundation for interacting with students on a variety of levels. I have taught both French and Mathematics at the college level, have tutored Math, Physics and Chemistry at the college level, and have substituted in high schools and junior highs as well. As a research mathematician with GE, I have explained mathematical concepts to adults with a wide range of backgrounds.

One of the things I enjoy more than anything is helping someone to understand not only the specific principals of the subject matter, but the WHYS and WHEREFORES so that as that student encounters real world examples he/she will quickly be able to adapt and be successful. I am a patient teacher who "has been there" and wants to help anyone I can. I have been working as a company CFO and VP Finance in excess of 40 years. There is virtually nothing I do not know regarding accounting and finance. This will provide students with real world experience as well as the principals required in a course study. I also have expert experience in Excel and Word. In addition, during this time I have been instrumental in tutoring employees who have worked for me. This numbers in the hundreds over the years. I no longer work full time and am highly motivated to help others in my chosen subjects.

I teach a variety of classes ranging from children to adults at my church in Worcester MA. I love teaching and above all love the feeling of knowing my influence in someone's life through teaching.I love to use examples that my students can relate to to ease their understanding of the material. I am available to help your child find academic success. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives. After graduating from a Technical High School, I taught 6th grade class from 1998-1999 in my home country. As an new immigrant in 2001, with 2 1/2 years of College in Electronics, I was very much driven to continue my education here in the US. My former studies were in

I am a graduate of Worcester State College. I hold a degree in both Sociology and Mathematics. I have taught math for middle school students from various backgrounds. As a result of this, not only do I know my material I am also prepared to work well with any individual or scenario. I feel that math can not simply be taught by numbers or words. Sometimes you need to go the extra mile and be very creative to truly understand it. Working with kids is something I truly enjoy. There is nothing that brings a joy to me more than a child that smiles after figuring out a solution. All children can succeed, they just need to be taught in a certain way. My objective is to remain patient with these students and to find the best way to teach them. I don't want these students to simply receive good grades and forget the material. I want them to truly grasp the concepts, embark the ideas and hopefully

I strongly believe that every student has the ability to learn and succeed if given the appropriated learning experience. Therefore, I strive as much as possible to demystify sciences subjects like mathematics, physics, and chemistry and make learning a fun. By so doing, student will love learning and succeed in their academic pursuit. I had my undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering from University of Nigeria at GPA of 3.43/4 (transcripts translated by World Education Services WES, USA). I successfully secured the prestigious Japanese Government Scholarship for a postgraduate study in environmental engineering at Hokkaido University Japan where I successfully graduated at GPA of 3.94/4 (transcripts translated by WES USA). I also conducted an advance science research which have been published in a science journal and presented orally in several professional conferences in Japan.
