Physics Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Cross, SC

My teaching motto is simple, practice makes perfect. The more you practice solving physics problems the easier it gets. Furthermore, I believe if one is having a tough time solving the problems, one must understand the physical concepts and be comfortable with the mathematics required to solve the problems. As a graduate student at Rice University, I taught labs for the undergraduate students and was also an exam grader. Furthermore, upon the completion of my doctorate degree in physics, I taught physics for six and a half years at the university level. Following this, I taught mathematics on the high school level and have been a tutor on the high school and middle school level. Thus, I have several years of experience in a teaching or tutoring capacity. As an undergraduate, I completed my degree with a 3.5 grade point average and had all A's and B's during my graduate education.

I love children of all ages. I believe that every child can learn and excel in school. Unfortunatley, all children learn differently and schools do not adapt well. I will adapt to the learning techniques that best fit the student. My only goal is to meet the goals the students have and to teach them as much as I possibly can. As a recent graduate of Clemson University, I am very familiar with school and the tools necessary to learn and excel. I graduated with a B.S. in Biological Sciences. This degree has given me extensive knowledge of chemistry, physics, and biology. I also have extensive knowledge of writing research papers, lab reports, and essays. As a tutor, I will be able to provide the knowledge and skills necessary to excel academically.

I love working with children. I especially love teaching them about science and mathematics because I find these subjects so interesting. There are few things more rewarding then seeing it all "click." I like to use diagrams and real life situations to explain subjects. Breaking things down into laymen's terms and reducing intimidation by putting things simply helps most students to grasp difficult topics. I'm a pretty good artist and like drawing diagrams. I also have acquired numerous study aides during my years in college. Most of all, I feel it is important to teach kids HOW to study and not just WHAT to study. As a recent CofC graduate attaining my Bachelors of Science degree in Biology, I have a vast knowledge of Biology and Chemistry courses. I also attained minors in Chemistry and Psychology. In high school I completed Advanced Placement (AP) courses in Biology, English,

I believe I have a great teaching style which enables me to relate concepts in a way that any new student to chemistry can understand. I love using visual aids to help get new ideas across, since I myself is a visual learner. I also like to get the student involved so that I know they are grasping the concepts and not just the answers. Throughout my undergraduate experience, I worked with many of my fellow students to help them better understand chemistry concepts. I have gained experience in all of the major fields of chemistry including organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry and physical chemistry. I have even completed inorganic/physical chemistry research which I presented to other scientists. I currently work as a chemist, which keeps my skills sharp.

For 1:1 tutoring my teaching style will vary depending on the individual's needs and the topic covered. I try to work at the student’s learning pace in an effort to allow the student time to comprehend and retain what is covered within the session. I am not interested in helping others learn what I know (and love) to find out later that I was "too fast" for them to use the information after the session. Covering any topic outside their natural pace is a complete waste of everyone's time. I graduated with a 4-year degree in Mech. Eng. in 1997. I was very successful for the next 12 years, in various positions. In 2009, I changed to the IT field. As an engineer and thereafter, I mentored many friends, colleagues, and friends of friends with computers. I am familiar with MS Windows, but I plan to learn about MAC PCs soon. I know I can help any user find a better way to operate the co

As an educator, I strive to improve the student's study habits, test taking skills and overall understanding of the subject. I am patient and encourage questions from the student. Also, I believe that "hands on" practice is the best way to really learn a subject. I like to break things down into smaller parts and let the student practice and grasp each concept instead of just showing them how to do it. Repetition is important to the learning process, so I frequently use practice problems to reinforce the daily lesson. I also like to identify the source of the problem and fix it even if I have to go back a few levels from what the student is currently learning. Although my natural style of teaching is patient and persistent, I am capable of adapting to many different styles to ensure that the student learns.

Tutoring has been an integral part of my undergraduate career, and something that I have thoroughly enjoyed. I love working with students and getting to know them. As a teacher, my main objective is to make the material relevant and interesting. I believe every student has a unique way of conceptualizing the material, and I like to approach a concept from various angles until the student fully understands. From working with the Academic Success Center, I know the value of preparedness and organization. For each tutoring session, I like to organize a lesson plan and create worksheets. In this way, I hope to enable students to interact with the material and work through repetition. I recently graduated from Clemson University with a 3.98 GPA in Chemistry. As a recent graduate, I have a detailed understanding of both scientific and mathematical concepts, as well as a fresh recollection of t

I am a very patient but straight foreward individual who love expressing ideas with various examples. I am hands on and a visual learner. Therefore, I make sure along with telling or giving directions each person will also get the picture with it. Each person is different with their learning abilities and I strive to help them understand through various learning styles. I have earned my graduate certificate in Accounting and a bachelors in Business. I have always loved teaching. While attending high school, I helped assist with adult education classes at night. This allowed me to help others understand how to solve mathmatical problems by using other methods. I also worked as a substitute teacher for a few years working with K - 8th grade students. Never stopping with teaching others to understand, I currently work with younger and older adults teaching the basics on business plan

Students learn differently, and I try to find each student’s comfort zone for learning. Some teachers may not have the chance to really analyze a student’s learning needs due to the other 30 students in the class. That is why I think I have such an impact on all my students. I am patient and easy going person and like to provide a relaxed environment for the student, which I find enables them to ask more questions and feel more confident. My interest in mathematics and physics led me to my college program of Civil Engineering. Along the way to earning my BS in Civil Engineering, I was exposed to a broad range of mathematics and different areas of physics. I immediately noticed that I excelled in these subjects and took the opportunity to tutor others in these disciplines for two years while in college. Since graduation, I have continued tutoring mathematics and physics for many stu

I am an advocate of self-discovery and prefer to ask questions of my students rather than answer them. I believe that if a student can discover the answer for themselves, rather than being told the answer, they will have a deeper and longer-lasting understanding of the material. I believe each student learns differently and I try to learn what works best for each student and adapt my style accordingly. I also have a passion for teaching effective study skills so that students can continue to learn on their own. I prefer to provide the tools to learn rather than the answers, and in this way leave a lasting impact on my students. The majority of my formal teaching experience has come in the past four years during my graduate career, during which I taught 3 semesters of college-level introductory and cellular biology labs. Additionally, I have worked extensively with incoming graduate

Throughout my college career I have Tutored other students, usually adults, but even some younger students. My tutoring experience is mostly based on college physics, algebra, trigonometry, and calculus. Also, I have a good understanding of higher level mathematics involving differential equations and complex analysis. When helping others with mathematics, I have developed many good friendships and even learned many good teaching techniques. When I am tutoring, my main focus is to explain the math and science in a way that is easier to understand, mostly by using visuals. I try to get a good understand of the knowledge of math that the students already possesses and what they need to improve. I also try to include many example problems and show how the technique is applied. Finally, the student will be asked to work some problems to better understand the application. Most of my tut

I make an attempt to not give away answers but guide students with their own ability to come to conclusions. I try and foster independent learning and study skills. I have a confident knowledge of the subject and can answer questions when necessary. I do not do students homework. I use examples and guide students. I'm very patient and have experience working with large diverse groups of people from different backgrounds and learning styles Everyone is capable of learning but in different ways. I strive to provide students with quality education. I was an teacher assistant for a chemistry lab for an organic lab for one semester at the University of South Carolina. I made sure students understood concepts and graded reports. I tutored general chemistry for 2 years at the Student Success Center at the University of South Carolina. I learned how to effectively foster independent learni
