Experienced math tutor

I encourage questions and believe in a lot of practice.
I believe that all students can learn with a patient tutor. Many of my students find math frustrating but I have the ability to break all concepts down to the most basic elements and build from there. I also encourage questions and being comfortable asking questions to facilitate the learning experience. I have tutored math and history for years at all levels from middle school through college. I have a bachelors degree from UNC-Chapel Hill and a masters degree from Rutgers University. I find it very rewarding to teach students and help them overcome their academic challenges. Many students struggle with math due to bad teaching or fear. My success lies in getting to the root of the issue and building from there. A calculus professor once told me that the only way you learn math is by doing math. Therefore, I encourage lot ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As part of my lifelong love of learning and teaching, I began tutoring when I was just fourteen years old. While in high school, I usually tutored math (mostly algebra, geometry, and trigonometry) and general science. Once I moved to college, I began to work with middle school as well as high school students again in mostly math and science. However, I have a BA in politics and history; therefore I am extremely confident in many liberal arts subjects. I have also earned an MBA which helped to hone my grammatical and communication skills. I am currently an on-call teacher for two local school districts. I teach all levels, all subjects.
I love to teach. I have experience with 5-50 years old and, if pressed, could not name a favorite group. I believe that everyone can learn; some of us just process information in different ways. As a tutor it is my job to discover how a student proc ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a university-level professor, I understand that only about 20% of my students will prosper from a strictly lecture-style course. I have explored other means of learning with my students by encouraging them to read and interpret primary sources (sources written or objects used/produced by historical agents), discuss what they've learned in class, and conduct history investigations of their own. As a former museum professional, I am a strong believer in hands-on learning. In this respect, I encourage a student to own his/her learning, by constantly interacting with me and their fellow students as we attempt to better understand the material. I encourage my students to become better writers by holding "free-writes" in class, and going over how to structure an historical argument, and how to present evidence. I have worked with students of varying abilities, some of them with extreme dysl ... read more

My love for teaching is inclusive of all learners of all ages. Given that personal motivation is the key to true learning, I consistently strive to seek out and direct my student's interests through thoughtful questions and discussion. All the while I try to tailor my student's interests to meet the needs of their required course work. My questions can be described as both creative and thought-provoking. I never sacrifice intrinsic learning for the ease of 'busy work.' I always strive for simplicity and straight-forwardness in my instruction. I know at some level everyone has a personal desire to learn. I am most knowledgeable in earth/space science, basic mathmatics, and social siences.
From the start of my professional career I have been drawn to the education and edification of others, in particular the youth. I feel I have an intrinsic ability to understand them and motiv ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Although I do not have a degree in Education, I have years of experience as a teaching assistant, teacher, tutor and curriculum designer. My experience mostly focuses on helping students improve their writing skills, but I also work with students with their reading comprehension since they go hand in hand. I have taught composition at the community college level which enables me to help students with papers at all levels from basic exposition to research methodology and citation format.
I enjoy working with young people and making an impact on their academic success. I don't know if I have a particular teaching style, but I believe that education is not a "one size fits all" proposition and good educators must adapt their style to fit the needs of their student which I strive for every time I meet a new student.

I am a team builder and have worked with youth for the past 15 years, teaching them how to get along and function successfully within a team environment. This experience has provided me with tools that I use to entice students with various ways to learn. It has been very useful to use reality to capture interest. Basic education is the key to a successful life. We know that college is not for everyone however, we know that in order to be a successful contributor in society one must have the basics.
I have earned two degrees, a master's in public health, and a bachelor's in health sciences, with an emphasis in school and community health. I have worked in research the past ten years, developing teams and training them to fruition. Additionally, I have served on a reading group in an under-privileged community, mentoring and tutoring elementary youth with their school work and ... read more

More About This Tutor...

When I graduated from High School and went into the job market I continued to be interested in working with children. This interest lead me to taking psychology and education classes from various colleges over the years and ultimately obtaining a B.I.S degree from A.S.U. In addition, I have worked in the field of education for over the last 12 years and I obtained an Elementary Montessori Teachers certification. My interest in working with children has lead me to working on a post-B.A. from Rio Salado. I still plan on obtaining a masters degree in ether Education or Psychology. In addition, over the years I have worked with many different types of children on a whole group setting all the way to one on one tutoring.
My style of teaching depends upon the child's way of learning. In my role as a Montessori teacher I typically presented lessons to the child in way that would best suit ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I like to present material, but expect interaction with students to reach a mutual understanding of the material. Students are expected to develop to a level of independence that will allow them to work without assistance.
While a student I acted as a teacher's assistant teaching Argumentation and Debate for one semester, and tutored Basic Statistics for one semester. As an accounting professional I trained new employees in Accounting, both in classroom and individual environments. While this experience was on an "as needed" basis, since I have worked as a Controller for over twenty-five years I believe I have at least three years of accumulated experience teaching accounting.

I find that teaching works best if you tailor the material to your audience - i.e. you don't want to lose them OR bore them. Use what they know as a foundation to build on to teach new concepts. If material is difficult or unfamiliar to your class it's important to be prepared in advance with several approaches to get the material across. Review material periodically to reinforce confidence in the students and always make sure they have a firm grasp on material before moving on.
