Geometry Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Custer, SD

I am a fan of the Socratic method of teaching, where students are led to an understanding of the material through a series of questions designed to help them think their own way to the answer. 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

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

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 grades K-5 about different aspects in NPS. My experiences have also pushed me to start a Masters of Science degree in Biology to further my knowledge. While I was an undergraduate, I was also a teaching assistant for physical geography labs. 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 succe

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 writing for English and Spanish media, particularly for TV and radio. Teaching was my second career choice and sometimes I regret not taking that path. Not only could I tutor those areas, but also Math because I like the challenge of finding only one answer to problems. I enjoy working with people a lot! 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 wo

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 am 54 and have homeschooled my own kids. My oldest is a commercial pilot and her brother is an engineer in Florida. The youngest is 11 so I have kept current in a wide range of subjects. I am current with my ability to teach, having completed three degrees within the last two years. I substitute teach at the Lead/Deadwood school. I have taught over 500 pilot students in high performance jet aircraft so I am well versed in math and science. This job also required extensive writing skills. I am skilled in teaching all subjects up through grade 10. I am also comfortable with college level physics and astronomy. As a father of 6 kids I have extensive patience and I have learned through experience how to transfer learning to even unwilling students. Instructing in a Jet Fighter has also given me a wide range of experiences that are helpful in relating to all types of individuals, even young

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 have helped me improve my grammatical skills. During my last two years in college I have helped tutor students in math, biology, and a little bit of basic chemistry. 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 th
