Physical science and math are often the most difficult subjects for students, but I believe anyone can understand the "basic idea." The difficulty comes from attempting to connect their intuitive understanding with the symbols on the paper.
Many students think of these subjects as the memorization of formulas. But if they grasp the "basic idea," they can adapt and apply it to any problems they face. Instead of developing a toolbox of formulas, my goal as a teacher is to help the student develop a toolbox of problem-solving strategies. I learn where a student has strengths and exploit these strengths as a pathway to connecting the tangible and abstract, the "basic idea" and the mathematical symbols. I worked as a full-time instructor of physics, astronomy, and engineering/electronics last summer for Upward Bound, a program that provided additional classwork and guidance to selected hig

JoAnna N - Bolivar, MO 65613 (40.3 mi) - Trigonometry Tutor - $40.00/hr.
I love working with students. I get a great sense of gratitude by seeing someone succeed, because I knew I had a hand in making it happen. I feel that children can learn the best through examples. I feel that repetition the key to success. I like to make a difference in every life that I would touch. I have earned 2 bachelors degrees, BS in Agriculture Business and Agriculture Economics. I have gained a knowledge of math, economics and agriculture. I have tutored students through my sorority in economics and math.

Phillip F - Lees Summit, MO 64081 (53.3 mi) - Trigonometry Tutor - $34.00/hr.
Science and technology do not have to be difficult or abstract. I know how to make Chemistry interesting and relevant to everyday life. If students need help with the math that is required for Chemistry, I know how to bring them up to speed. When students are willing to keep trying to learn, I will keep trying to help them. I have enjoyed teaching Chemistry, Computer Programming and Freshman General Science for the past 20 years in Missouri and Kansas. I like to use current events and computerized resources to help students learn. I love science, but more importantly I know how to help students understand concepts rather than memorize. Together we can learn skills to prepare for further study in math and science. By helping each student construct his or her own knowledge, science becomes more relevant and important.
