Physics is one of my top subjects!

I am a calm, patient, and easy-going person who loves learning and loves helping others to learn. I enjoy adapting to different learning styles, and want to help each student to the greatest extent I am able to. I try to strike the correct balance between allowing students to work problems out themselves and giving them guidance. The subject areas I focus in are generally considered difficult, but I believe that with guidance, and perhaps a more constructive mindset, the problems can become enjoyable and achievable puzzles.
As a masters degree holding physicist I have an extensive background in both physics and mathematics. Additionally, as a published author and the author of many research papers and lab reports I have considerable grammatical skills, and writing experience. My whole educational career tutoring my classmates and siblings has come as second nature to me, but I ... read more

I have participated in many study groups where I actively contribute information on the topic of interest; there we help each other and teach each other. Also, I'm the oldest sibling of four, I have had many years of helping out with homework and tutoring in reading, writing and math. My education consisted of diverse studies and I learned a great deal of mathematics and sciences. Also, naturally I use proper grammar and have a good hand for writing. I am a very creative person and can come up with unique topics. I'm also very artsy and appreciate a good hands on experiment.

My comments on tutoring Physics : 5 years tutoring experience

I have been tutoring for over 10 years in all types of Math, including Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Precalculus, Calculus etc. I have also been tutoring in Chemistry and Physics. I have experience tutoring at the Middle School, High School, and College levels. I love tutoring students with diverse backgrounds ethnically, educationally, economically etc. I love people and I love teaching!
Different students have different 'keys' to learning. I utilize a flexible approach which seeks to 'unlock' the potential in each individual student.

My comments on tutoring Physics : Took both college-level, calculus-based, general physics courses. Topics: Newton's laws, angular motion, kinematics, inertia, momentum, electrical, magnetic, and basic concepts involving circuit boards.

Tutored on TutorSelect.come before a few years back and successfully tutored over ten individual students as well as a couple of group sessions with in between 2 and 4 students. All the students I tutored were either in high school or college. My topic I predominately tutor and that I most enjoy tutoring is mathematics. I've taken Algebra, Trigonometry, Pre-calculus, all three college Calculus courses, and Differential Equations. I also took both college-level General Chemistry courses and both calculus-based Physics courses. I also was responsible in most of my classes for developing a weekly schedule for tutoring/studying course topics with fellow classmates and friends. I enjoy any math based or related science topics, enjoy problem solving, and working with people. I Aslo helped both of my younger siblings learn math and chemistry related topics.

Professional Exam Prep and Subject Tutoring

During my time as Head Tutor at UNCA, regardless of department, I tutored over 200 students in mathematics and physics. Of those students, at least 80% saw an increase of at least one letter grade and at least 20% saw an increase by two letter grades. Many students I tutored in one subject came back to be for tutoring in the other. For many of my students I served as an invaluable mentor who guided them from their earliest days as a college freshman to the day the walked across the stage and earned their degree. Over the past five years, I have helped more than 100 students gain admission to their dream colleges and have averaged a score increase of approximately 260 points for the SAT and 6.5 points for the ACT. I have personally played a role in the lives of students who have earned admission into such institutions as Stanford, Duke, UVA, Cal Tech, Georgia Tech, UNC, and UPenn. ... read more

No drudgery!

Student-led and interactive. No lectures. No drudgery. I focus on the process of solving problems. Restate the question. Draw diagrams. Figure out what information is missing. How can I get that information? Can it be calculated or is an estimate good enough? What sources are reliable?
I solve problems. I am a bioanalytical chemist and biomedical engineer. This profession requires using math, statistics, biology and chemistry at a high level on a daily basis as I develop products that improve healthcare. I have taught or tutored science and math from elementary to post-college level for over 25 years in diverse settings.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a graduate from top university with a degree in Electrical Engineering and am also able to teach maths and physics to 'A' level. I have been told that my approach to teaching makes it enjoyable for my students. I am happy to travel up to 10 miles from my home and am currently available evenings and weekends.I have given private tuition to a number of pupils with excellent results. I always have the highest expectations of pupils.This is an approach I have found to pay rich dividends in terms of a pupil's academic and personal development.I have almost 4 years of experience of one-to-one tuition. I have a very good success rate with all of my pupils.

I earned both my Bachelor's and Master's in Applied and Physical Chemistry respectively from an accredited University in Nigeria. My basic and core science backgroung throughout my academic pursuit has enabled me to gain understanding and fit to teach many areas of mathematics and science. Having taught and tutored chemistry and science generally both in Africa (Nigeria) and the United States, I understand the best approach to teach and tutor different students from different cultural background. In addition, my experience as a high school mathematics and physics teacher as far back as 2000/2001, 2 years of instructing and tutoring at a community college coupled with 3 years of lecturing and tutoring in a university makes me fit for teaching in all levels of education, in mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology.

I graduated from UNCW with a degree in Chemistry. I graduated with Magna Cum Laude distinction (GPA 3.804). I also, have extensive research experience. I knew that doing independent chemical research would allow me to gain knowledge that can't be taught in the classroom. I have experience tutoring both high school and college students in chemistry and mathematics. Along with my scientific credentials, I have also been very successful in learning and teaching Spanish. I took Spanish all through high school and 2 years in college. In college I tutored fellow classmates as well as other students in this particular language.
I love teaching and interacting with people. I gain great satisfaction from being able to help someone else understand something that they are unable to grasp on their own. I believe that students use different ways to learn. Such as visual versus auditory ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching philosophy is simple and contains three parts. Part one: The concept or topic is easy, regardless of what it is, it just must be broken down to its most basic elements. This is my job to do for the student. Once this is done for the student it will be shown that the perceived “complexity of the subject” is simply a compilation of basic elements of the subject, from here the topic can be built upon to more advanced levels; I am convinced this idea is not subject dependant. Part two: The student must decide that he or she can and will understand the subject matter and be successful in it. This too is a part of my job to encourage, motivate and instill confidence in the student. Part three: Practice, practice, and after that more practice. I will teach and encourage the student to constantly work on his or her new skills in the subject matter and as always review his or h ... read more
