Highly Qualified Mathematician

My teaching career began in 1991 as a College Lecturer. Since then I have taught mainly in junior college (including IB diploma, Cambridge A Level and AP programs). Additionally, I taught various branches of Mathematics to undergraduate and graduate programs of Heriot Watt, Southampton, SNDT, Mumbai and Pune universities. Teaching Operations Research, AP Statistics, AP Calculus, IB Math HL, IB Further Math, Probability, Algebra, Discrete Math and Calculus is my forte.
I am very passionate about teaching and have zeal to see students succeed in whatever education they pursue. In these 24 years, I worked with students of varying abilities. It’s a challenge worth taking helping high need students achieve success and build confidence to become able global citizens. I have good experience of working with challenged students. You need to support them emotionally and academically and mot ... read more

I prefer to use a hands on approach to education. I like to have the kids get engrossed in the subject matter by reading aloud and taking part in discussion sessions. It is my belief that all children have the capacity to succeed in school with the proper tools. The tools that I provide are first and foremost, respecting the students without any bias. Secondly, I have worked with and have the capability of working with children of all ages. This allows me to relate to and effectively educate all students. A competent teacher makes a lasting impact in a child’s life which is why my favorite quote is as follows. "A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops." ----Henry Adams-----
I am adamant to maintain a high level of excellence in education. I have earned a B.A. degree in history and an M.A. in secondary education with a concentration in social studi ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have always had a passion for education and learning. I have always excelled in mathematics from elementary to collegiate levels. I LOVE math. I love to do math and I love to teach math. I was even on a math competition team in middle school. I have a strong statistical background from my Psychology studies and have taught Middle Grades Math to 8th graders. I taught Standard 8 Plus and Algebra 1 to 8th grade students in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School system. I also tutored Psychology students in Statistics at the collegiate level during my time as a teaching assistant.
I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others and showing them something new. I feel a sense of reward when a student of mine realizes that they have a new concept. When the lightbulb comes on it is the best feeling in the world. I believe that given the right tools and the right environment all students can ... read more

I worked at Elohim Center tutoring the kids at an after school homework center in Hartsville, SC. I also worked at Hartsville School of Performing Arts for a short time period. However I provided assistance to the teachers and mentored the children that had potential, but didn't have the extra push in life to motivate them to be more. I worked at Billie Hardee Home for Boys in Darlington, SC as a volunteer I provided teen age boys the assistance in tutoring them with math, reading, and science. I have earned a BA in Criminology and an Associates in Sociology. As a soldier helping people is not a job or a career, it's my choice in life to give and be rewarded through the final product of a completed task.
I love teaching and working with children of all ages. I believe and know that children can learn, but they have their own ways of learning. I am available not only to help your ... read more

After graduating from the University of South Carolina, I began teaching 7th and 8th grade English and Writing Skills at Kelly Mill Middle School in Blythewood, South Carolina. I have been teaching here for the last five years. Though I have primarily worked with middle school students, I have extensive student teaching experience in AP English and other levels of High School English.

All through school I have had a passion for learning. This passion continued into college where I earned two degrees from Columbia College. While earning two Bachelor of Arts degrees in Dance and Religion, I have gained knowledge in critical thinking through applying learning to life, English and grammar through writing papers and reports, and many daily skills acquired through general education courses. Since I began tutoring my senior year of high school I have tutored students in special education, daily skills subjects, elementary math, high school math, and dance as well as teaching English, math, and Bible to students in Kenya, Africa.
I love working with children and have a passion for making the future greater by helping our children be more successful. With a background in dance I have a very creative teaching style with a knack for discovering new ways to learn. I am ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I feel as though I am highly qualified and competitive for a teaching position because of my abilities to relate to children of all ages. As a volunteer basketball referee at Northside Baptist Church, Upward basketball program since 1998, I work with children between the ages of 7 and 13. I teach them about basketball and sportsmanship. As a parent of a 17 year old son, I constantly mentor him and his friends on life, school and everything in between. I really enjoy talking to these young men and giving them information about the importance of education. This seems to have a positive impact on the decisions they are starting to make. I am very eager to get into the school system as a full time teacher. I enjoy working with children and desire to be a role model for the youth of today. I look forward to asset the school district and impacting my community through leadership ... read more

I began tutoring as a volunteer with the America Reads program in high school. I continued volunteering with the Boys and Girls Club during college. After an opportunity to assist a professor in administering a freshman course, I applied to teach high school in Pasco County. I taught world history and psychology for one year before returning to school for my Master of Arts degree in History. I continued tutoring on the side, but spent most of my time assisting professors in the Department of History at Winthrop University as a Graduate Assistant where I edited exams and papers for undergraduate students. During the last year of my program, I worked with an SES program in South Carolina, tutoring both reading and math.
I strongly support the belief that all children are capable of learning if given sufficient opportunity. As a classroom teacher often facing as many as 37 students at ... read more

Every student is different. It is up the instructor to identify these differences then tailor their teaching styles to what best helps the student. I believe that patience is the key and using positive reinforcement to create a positive learning atmosphere is the key to success.
I love to help others to get ahead in life. I am a recent college graduate, so I can communicate effectively with younger students. While in school I worked full time and went to school full time, this has taught me how to use time management skills effectively. I have eight years of military leadership experience and I am currently employed by Wells Fargo.

I love working and being with children. I believe that all children learn new things in their own way. I am very patient and out-going. My main goal is to motivate and provide the best teaching possible.
I have been pursing my degree in Early Childhood Education at the University of South Carolina. I chosen to take a hiatus from the University so that I can gain more experience working with young children in an educational setting. During my time at the University I gained valuable knowledge and experience with developing lesson plans, assisting teachers and interacting with young children. I want to use my academic experience and love for children and their parents. I am also looking for an environment to increase my knowledge and grow professionally. I also will be receiving my Associates Degree in Arts, May of 2010.

A Little Bit About Me...

Learning about the students I teach and listening to their experiences helps me to consider ways of making course material relevant and fostering critical thinking skills. I am passionate about finding the most effective ways of stimulating and sustaining growth among those who enter my classroom. As a teacher, I am attentive to the fact that learning is a complex process and work to be flexible, adapting my approaches according to the needs of my students. I believe it is crucial for teachers to cultivate learning partnerships with students. Teaching is empowering students to take responsibility for their learning, inspiring courage to grow intellectually, cultivating curiosity, providing opportunities to develop relationships, clarifying values, uplifting the spirit, and influencing action.
I have been employed as a dedicated educator for the past four years. During this tim ... read more

I graduated with an M.Ed. in Higher Education and Student Affairs from the University of South Carolina in May of 2010. Directly after graduating, I began a career as an Academic Advisor in the Moore School of Business Undergraduate Division at the University of South Carolina. I currently still hold this job. I also taught a University 101 course to 25 incoming freshmen in the Fall of 2010. This course included helping the students get acquainted with resources on campus, learn study/time management strategies, and much more. Also, while in graduate school, I worked about 5-10 hours per week as an Academic Success Coach in the Academic Center for Excellence (ACE) at the University of South Carolina.

I am an honors graduate with a degree in Special Education and dual certification in Elementary Education. I am currently working toward a masters degree in learning and technology. My teaching experience prior to entering public education included teaching in an international school (Qingdao, China)and teaching in private schools in the United States. I am experienced with helping students to reach their academic and personal goals regardless of any challenges.
Because every child learns in a unique variety of ways, I incorporate a wide range of learning methods into each lesson. Tuning each component of a carefully crafted lesson to the needs of each individual student - is a juggling act that is challenging and rewarding to me. Intuitively supporting learning’s synergistic nature, I enjoy the daily balance of presenting new principles, while skillfully solidifying what ha ... read more

My passion is the teaching of children. I beleive each child has his or her own learning stlye. I teach to that style, but also offer the child a chance to experience alternative learning modalities as well. I belive children enjoy learning kinestically best. I offer the best posssible environment for learning. That environment includes liberal exploration as well as designed structure. I am a firm beliver in being a student's "guide on the side" and not the "sage on the stage".
As a liberal arts graduate, I had the opportunity to receive a well-rounded education. I have since established a successful career in education, specializing in the middle level.

As a graduate student earning a Master's degree, I have always worked very hard. In high school, I graduated with honors and throughout the journey of both degrees, I have always maintained at least a 3.5 GPA. I have always excelled in math. I enjoy reading and I would like to have an opportunity to shine that light on everyone through tutoring. I have tutored friends and family members for quite some time and I am currently tutoring.
I enjoy teaching and enjoy sharing my knowledge with everyone. Everyone can learn and I believe some learn different than others. I believe in patience and different teaching styles. For some, hands-on techniques works better while for others, a traditional learning style along with dedication may suffice. Whatever the approach may be, a supportive and fun atmosphere helps enhance the learning experience.
