A Little Bit About Me...

I have had a variety of experiences as a teacher. I, at first, worked as a substitute for about 3 years. Then I worked as a 3rd-grade teacher in a private school for one year. Because of enrollment that position was cut. I went back to subbing for a time. From 2004-2009 I have worked for the Dallas School District as a personal tutor. I primarily worked with middle school-high school students. I tutored them both at home and at a computer lab on an internet program. That position was cut because of budget cuts. I am able to tutor in all basic subjects.
I enjoy the process of helping students to learn. It is a great experience to see their minds grasp a new concept or idea. I realize that each student is an individual and as such may have a different learning style than another. My goal is to facilitate that learning so they feel and are successful in conquering the lessons to be l ... read more

I have tutored several high school and a couple of college students in first year chemistry. These include the typical areas of chemistry such as: electronic structure of atoms, the periodic table and properties of the elements, chemical bonding, nature of liquids, solids, gases, phase changes, stoichiometry, acid/base reactions, kinetics, metals and non-metals, complex and coordination compounds, electrochemical cells, redox reactions, organic chemistry, nuclear reactions and polymers.
I enjoy helping children, young adults, and older people too, understand chemistry and science. I like coming up with new approaches to assist in grasping complex concepts and breaking these concepts down to easier ways to look at them. My approach is to allow the student to explain area where they are having trouble or need help. This gives me an idea of their understanding of the specific area. My ... read more

Getting my Ph.D. in English has given me the ability to communicate clearly both verbally and in writing. During the last seven years I have been tutoring students at all grade levels, from elementary school through high school, as well as teaching classes in English at several universities. I have tutored children in test-taking skills (including math, vocabulary, and critical reading skills) for the SAT and for private school entrance exams. I have also helped students with their writing at all grade levels, on such common problems as grammar, clarity, and learning how to elaborate on one's ideas.
I have always seen teaching as a matter of reigniting a natural curiosity which all students have, and directing it toward an academic subject. My priority as a tutor is to help students feel confident about their own ability to master the material. For each student this requires a diff ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a Masters degree in anthropology (with minors in zoology and philosophy) and a Bachelors degree in zoology (with a chemistry minor) from Oregon State University. I have tutored high school students in math, science, reading, and writing for the Upward Bound program, was a teaching assistant in college biology laboratory and biological anthropology courses at OSU, and later a teacher of bioanthropology at Klamath Community College, OSU (online and on campus) and Western Oregon University. I was laid off in December 2009 due to budget cuts, but continue to present lectures and write scientific literature. I also home school my daughter in reading, writing, mathematics, and natural science.
I am very passionate about teaching at every age level (e.g. my daughter is 7). I am patient and kind and believe that instilling self esteem is one of the most important aspects of lear ... read more

I enjoy learning and try to pass along some of my enthusiasm to my students. I will work with the student to find the best methods for us to approach the material so he or she will have the greatest success. I believe that creating a structure assists in the learning process, but the structure may be different for different people. This is not to say that I impose a rigid schedule or formula to the tutoring sessions, but I do work to create of flow for the the study session which will consistently show the student his or her progress each time.
After returning to college to get my teaching certificate I taught 5th grade for one year. I then taught at a high school in Salinas, California for four years. As an elementary teacher I taught all subjects except science. I taught various history and social studies classes to the high school students including World History, honors U. ... read more

I enjoy working with children. I am patient and versatile. I accept the challenge of adjusting teaching methods and adapting activities to accommodate students with a variety of needs in order to meet the objectives of a behavioral or educational plan. Every student is unique, having different needs and different learning styles. My goal is to help your child succeed in their academic world.
While working as an Instructional Assistant in public schools, I tutored many students with learning disabilities who were struggling in school. I obtained a bachelor degree in Liberal Studies with a focus on the special needs of students in elementary and middle school. In an effort to help my students to succeed, I have tutored students in reading, mathematics, science, and social studies. I have also assisted students in the management of attention difficulties, organizational and stu ... read more

I am most familiar with conversation, as a means of relating information and testing understanding. I think that a through understanding in any subject comes about when a student can recognize the important concepts, and how they relate to each other, and speak those concepts in words which they understand--while gaining the vocabulary and proficiency as each subject demands. Most of all, I am an interested learner, in a variety of subjects, and I am excited to share my interest with others. I have a good sense of when I am being understood, and when I am not. I ask for questions, both so that I can explain myself, and so that that subject might be brought to greater depth.
My undergraduate experience has given me both breadth and depth in academic subjects. The curriculum I've studied at St. John's includes 4 years of language (2 Ancient Greek, 2 French); 3 years of laboratory sci ... read more

More About This Tutor...

While working on my PhD. I was a graduate teaching fellow for the Dept. of Ed. Teacher-Scholar program. I supervised undergraduates in organic chemistry labs, graded exams, led recitation sections and graded homework for both organic and general chemistry lecture courses. I developed and presented a chemistry class for HP technicians, and was the HP Education Liaison for the University of Oregon. As an undergraduate at the University of Montana – Billings I was a teaching assistant in the general and organic chemistry labs and tutored both chemistry and physics at the college level. I have also tutored high school students in chemistry, physics and algebra. I was a substitute teacher for all grades in La Veta, CO.
My basic teaching style utilizes a multimedia approach since different students learn in different ways (audio, visual, or hands-on). I like using simple “demo” exper ... read more

As an undergraduate at CSU, Sacramento I volunteered my time to tutor a student from the time she was in 6th grade through 8th grade. Tutoring was done mostly in math. I have a BA in Environmental Studies with a minor in Biology. I also have extensive experience using computer software, such as Microsoft Office and ArcGIS. During my college experience I was a part of many student study groups which involved asking help from others as well as offering guidance in subjects we felt strong in. I enjoy helping others learn and have a lot of patience during the learning/teaching process.
I like to use visual learning methods as well as memorization and recognition methods. Seeing a diagram is sometimes not enough. Actually trying to simulate a diagram/problem on your own after seeing it once promotes better understanding. As pertaining to math, depending on the level of the learn ... read more

I have recently completed my Masters degree in Public Policy from Oregon State University where I worked as a social science researcher with the department of sociology. I utilized several methods in my research, including both qualitative and quantitative research methods. I have extensive experience with SPSS and other statistical software in the analysis of quantitative data. Besides my graduate experience, I have a B.A. from Gonzaga University where I majored in Political Science and History. These concentrations have given me extensive writing, oral, and verbal skills.
I have a passion for higher education and helping young men and women reach their academic goals. I facilitated several ethics courses at Gonzaga University and helped tutor fellow graduate students in research methods and statistical analysis at Oregon State University. My teaching style is focused on the i ... read more

Since earning my degree in Math in 1984, I have worked in the Software development field. The last 15 years I have been an independent consultant. I have 2 college age children and 2 elementary age twins. My college age children have both taken math through calculus so I have had many opportunities to tutor them over the years in advanced math. I also did formal math tutoring all through college. I am also a very good writer and would feel comfortable tutoring writing and reading. I have taught Sunday school for 4 years so I do have experience with creating curriculum and teaching in a class setting.
I have always loved to teach and have been told by my children that I should have been a teacher. When it comes to math I have found that most people who have trouble with math have simply missed some fundamental along the way. It is extremely rewarding to figure out what that is and f ... read more

I have a PhD in Zoology from The Ohio State University and over the past 25 years I have taught at Columbus Technical Institute and Portland State University. I have taught courses in General Biology, Human Anatomy, Human Physiology, Ecology and a graduate course in Limnology. At Portland State I was also involved in a research program to improve student outcomes. This project attempted to improve student's experiences in a cost effective manner, establish an infrastructure that helps implement technology, and evaluate the effectiveness of educational technology on student learning.
I enjoy teaching. There is something about the educational process, transfer of knowledge to students, that I have always found satisfying. It has been my experience that learning is an active process rather than a passive one. Thus I have seldom “taught” students anything. Rather I have enabl ... read more
