I have significant experience teaching and tutoring over the past 15 years, from the time I began college and was a lab assistant during chemistry labs, through supporting myself through college by tutoring, and finally teaching numerous college and university courses over the last 10 years. I am able to express myself and the concepts being taught very well, and students seem to enjoy my style and enthusiasm. Science and mathematics are the most incredible subjects ever created by humans, and the scientific method is the means by which humans remove or greatly reduce their biases, and thereby arrive at the truth of the underlying reality of the universe. I love to see students suddenly understand a concept, or even better, when they suddenly understand an entire subject matter. I am patient and compassionate with my students, because I really want them to experience that moment of under

I have always had a passion for teaching. While attending college I had the opportunity to work with younger children. In high school, I also had the opportunity to work in the elemntary school as an aide for the 3rd grade classes. I am hoping to return to school and get my bachelors degree in elementary education as soon as I can. I always will have a passion for teaching children and hope that I have the opportunity to furthering my goals. I have attended Chadron State College for a few years completeing all of my generals and some elementary education classes. I have also tutored students in Chadron, NE during the Camp Kenwood Summer School. I have tutored students and help them excel in all areas of study and feel that I have made a difference in each of their lives.

I am passionate about helping teens and young adults learn so they can succeed in life. I enjoy the challenge of discovering, with my students, their unique learning styles and catering my lessons for their success. One-on-one tutoring allows us to explore learning methods that aren't available in a traditional classroom setting. A student that discovers they can tackle new problems gives them a leap in self-esteem to propel them to success for the rest of their lives. I am a former professional astronomer with experience working for NASA and the Department of the Navy. I have earned graduate and undergraduate degrees in astronomy and physics from the University of Minnesota. With these I have a firm understanding of many areas of math, science and technical writing. I also have a solid background in computer programming resulting from my three years of experience as a web programmer. I

My teaching style is pertinent to my learners. I believe all people have the ability to learn what is needed to help them.I believe that each child is a unique individual who needs a secure, caring, and stimulating atmosphere in which to grow and mature emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially. It is my desire as a educator to help students meet their fullest potential in these areas by providing an environment that is safe, supports risk-taking, and invites a sharing of ideas. There are three elements that I believe are conducive to establishing such an environment: the teacher acting as a guide, allowing the learner natural curiosity to direct his/her learning, and promoting respect for all things and all people. As a Bachelor of Science graduate, I have given my purpose to help students attain knowledge and experience in the areas: all education college courses, helped pe

I enjoy working with kids of all a ages and skill levels! My passion is working with kids who are special education, or those who need more one on one time. Math was always a struggle for me so I enjoy working with kids who need extra support with math/algebra. I believe each child learns in their own way and it's extremely important to find their learning style and build from it. Each child has the ability to learn we just have to see things through their eyes in order to educate them! I currently work with special education students at a local school. I also work at an after school program to ensure educational activites during the after school hours. I Earned a double major from BHSU in 2008 for Sociology and Human Services with an empahsis in probation and Law enforcement.

I have never been a teacher, but I can speak from a student's perspective. A good teacher is the one that identifies the needs of a student. Challenging the mind is very important, but also showing respect, patience and serious willingness to help. Practice is essential for a student to learn. From my personal experience, I would only learn from those teachers that gave out assignments to know where I was at in terms of knowledge. I needed that to realize my weak points and was always happy to know I learned from my mistakes through practice and just before a test. A happy attitude from my teachers always made a difference! I worked as a tutor for the Computer Science department at New Mexico State University. I helped students learn and understand the concepts of the first computer class (CS101) and enjoyed it quite a bit! I have a degree in Journalism and Spanish. I have experience wri

I am open to helping any student, old or young, gain more knowledge. I am very open to teaching anybody who is willing to give the effort to learn the material. I am a very patient, outgoing, and reliable individual. I am a believer in finding anyway to help a student learn the material. Sometimes it takes a different approach with every student. Every student does not learn the same way. Having a person there to help each child learn can go a long way in their future education. I am willing to do whatever it takes to help somebodys future. In college I excelled in my education by helping other students learn the material from class that they did not understand. I have earned one bachelor degree in Biomedical Science. This education has helped me gain tremendous skills in math, biology, chemistry, and reading. I have wrote many laboratory reports, research papers, and english papers that

I am a successful small business owner in Rapid City and have hired and trained several staff members. During this time, I have worked with many of the areas local teachers. I know children learn on different levels and in diffent ways. It only takes one person to help a child to reach their maximum potential. I like to utilize the discovery method with a little encouraegment. I sure remember the teacher who helped me out, Don't you? I have a degree from South Dakota School of Mines and Technology in Chemistry and would like to help individuals in math and chemistry to further their education. SDSM&T has a very tough curriculum in math, physics, and chemistry. With my real world experience and education from the mines I have a very good understanding of how to apply real world situations to everyday problems.

I have always loved teaching, whether its adults or children. Everyone has their own learning style and teachers need to be able to adapt teaching methods to help all succeed. My personality is very driven, outgoing, yet very patient and understanding. My goal when presenting curriculum based school programs is that the students all leave with at least one idea that they will remember and share with others. Prior to changing my undergraduate major to Geography, I was an elementary education major. I have always enjoyed working with students; however, at the time I wanted to try something different and is how I ended up working as a Park Ranger for the National Park Service (NPS). My experiences with NPS have allowed me to teach in an informal setting, by educating the public about their national parks. I also have the opportunity to present curriculum based education programs in gra

I believe in developmentally appopriate teaching, and that success comes with a committed teacher/tutor who is prepared, patient, and positive. I believe that everyone can be successful in their education, with the right approach and understanding of their personal learning styles and talents. There is more than one way to learn, and more than one way to teach, and I believe being flexible and supportive is the key to unlocking a learner's potential. I graduated magna cum laude from the University of Wyoming, while working full-time and taking classes full-time. This is a testament to my commitment to hard work and excellence. I have extensive experience in the financial services industry, which has given me an indepth understanding and practical experience with using math both in business and in life skills.

My education focuses on geology, the environmental sciences and includes the arts. One of my main interests is encouraging students to explore the wonderful possibilities available in the many existing scientific fields. My experience is diverse; I’ve held many technical field positions with the government, I spent two years in Panama with the Peace Corps encouraging and teaching poor coffee farmers in sustainable agricultural techniques, and I’ve worked as a volunteer for the National Park Service, The Nature Conservancy and others. I taught English in Panama, I was a tutor for the America Reads Program, and twice I tutored undergraduate women through MentorNet, an online forum encouraging women to pursue science degrees. I enjoy working one on one with students, and will adapt my teaching style to how the student learns and to what he/she finds interesting. My goal as a tutor is to as
