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 under ... read more

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 ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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 ... read more

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 ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 have tutored and taught high school and college students in math, astronomy, physics, engineering and statistics.
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 discove ... read more

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 am very creative and can communicate on the learning level of th ... read more
