I engage with a new student for a relationship. I inquire regarding their expectations, concerns, fears, and hopes for tutoring. I then explain my tutoring philosophy. Then, I ask for a diagnosis of how well they are performing the course material subject, and how I can help them best in the first session. I have tutored university, college, and high school students for 15 years with great success. I can help you any math from basic math, algebra, trigonometry, calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, or even business math or applied math. I have taught and tutored students in numerous courses from multiple textbooks, instructors, and software platforms. I can help students know how to approach a math problem. I can assist you with any high school or college level physics course! AP Physics, conceptual, algebra-based, and calculus-based all apply. I have assisted many stud

I love developing and fostering a positive, trusting relationship with my student. By becoming acquainted and appreciating my student's motivations and learning style, I tailor my instruction to best suit my student's needs. I firmly believe that a teacher must be both flexible and intuitive. Whether I am teaching through discovery or through direct instruction, I continually assess and respond to my student's level of understanding in learning the new material. It is through this dynamic learning environment that I am able to make math both accessible and rewarding. I thrive on the "Ah ha!" moments that build my student's confidence. Extremely driven to achieve academically, I graduated magna cum laude with a BS in Applied Mathematics from the University of Colorado at Boulder. While completing my coursework, I gained real world experience applying high level mathematics as a research a

I began working with children who were diagnosed with autism my first year of college (I did this for 7 years). I felt a sense of accomplishment as I watched them grow as people. I realized through these experiences that I wanted to help people learn and become accomplished. Later, I decided to student teach in graduate school. I taught three different writing courses over three years, including this past year as a part-time instructor. While I enjoyed my time teaching in a college classroom, I found myself making the most headway during conference time. In addition, I also worked as a writing tutor at MU's writing center. I felt like I accomplished more working with students in this way instead of standing by a chalkboard. I volunteer for HOBY (Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership Seminar) every year. This program pushes facilitation, which is what I strive to do. I like to try to fac

I began my career as an educator and I professionally taught in Colorado, Ohio, Texas and California. When working on my Ph.D in Educational Research at UCLA, I worked as a master teacher where I trained mathematics and science teachers in the Teacher Education program at UCLA. As an IBM employee, I trained other employees and worked as an instructor and curriculum and course designer. I also created educational conferences which consisted of multiple classes and presenters from around the world. As a Senior Manager at IBM, I provided training for managers. Throughout my career, I voluntarily tutored children and adults in multiple subject areas - mathematics, English, computer science, business acumen, and GED Preparation. I tend to be enthusiastic about the subject matter I teach and that enthusiasm is contagious. My actual teaching style is based on four main factors: (1) the goa

I am a homeschooling mom of 20 years. I have homeschooled my 6 kids K through 12th grade. Three of my children have graduated my homeschool. Two of those have completed college and one is in her sophomore year. I am still teaching 3 of my kids. Over the years, I have taught every grade and every subject. Most years I have been doing both phonics and physics. Over the past year I have been tutoring kids in math and language arts. I firmly believe that it is the responsibility of the teacher to find a way to present material so it is understood by the student. Too many schools criticize a child's ability to learn when the child doesn't respond to the school's one method of teaching. I enjoy finding ways to make concepts simple and fun for the child. I love to awaken in my students a fascination for subjects that they believe to be uninteresting or too hard for them.

Tutoring the children over the last two years has been the most rewarding work for me. When a middle school child actually gets up, goes and gets a dictionary, and looks up the meaning, pronunciation, and spelling of a word, without having direction from me, it makes my heart sing. Never have I had that feeling before, therefore it is my goal to continue to provide any child with the best tools, a positive mindset, and forward ambition to achieve the best opportunities in life that only an education can give them. I believe it is imperative that people of all ages, ethnicity, and socio-economic status have access to the best avenue to attain wealth, prosperity, and an increased quality of life: an education. It is my hope that when my students leave my class that they feel hopeful, excited, and energetic about their futures. Securing a BS in Political Science was a process that allow

I love teaching, especially the dialog and relationship that can be developed in its context! I strive to teach in a person relative manner; I endeavor to incorporate learning style, enthusiasm, and positive reinforcement with the hopes of creating an atmosphere of exchange and desire for learning. I have been very fortunate to have had many in my own life that have made the same investment in me, which has, inturn, influenced me to teach in the same way. I have a very diverse background and have been very fortunate in my path of gaining experience as well as education. In my professional life, I have worked in sales, business development as well as management. In education, my areas of study have been: psychology, interpersonal communication, western civilization, literature and writing, as well as ancient languages, including: Hebrew and Koine Greek. I have taught many classes in these

My teaching style morphs in order to suit the needs of the student. Working with so many different students one-on-one has enlightened me to the particularities of learning. Each one of my students learned in a different way. Some were more visual, others more theorem/rule based. I try to hone in on what their strengths are and build from there. I also have them do a half-hour of the assignment as soon as they finish their lesson. It seems to help them retain the information. In 2004, I graduated from the University of Virginia majoring in Psychology and Studio Art. While there I tutored at Miller School (a private 6-12 institution). I worked with two Korean ESL students who especially needed help in reading and composition. Their parents invited me to Korea for five weeks in the summer of 2003 to continue working with them. Upon my return, I continued to help them in their studies u

As a former Associate Professor of Middle East History at the Air Force Academy, I had the privilege of teaching cadets in World, Middle East, and Military History. Last year I taught cadets English. My exceptional teaching and mentoring at the Academy earned me the Outstanding Educator Award for the Academy's Department of History and Humanities Division. I also served as the Associate Director of Admissions at the Air Force Academy and can provide advice and assistance for applying to high quality colleges and getting a scholarship. My teaching style is learning focused. We will review the material you are having difficulty with or I will present new material for you to learn. I will then give you exercises to reinforce your knowledge of the subject matter. These exercises can range from in-class writing to presentations on the course work.

I am a life-long learner with degrees in Zoology & Philosophy, and I was the Valedictorian of my high school. I have 17 years of experience in the IT industry, mostly as a Technical Writer. I have taught in public school (Science for 6th-12th grades), I have tutored in the subjects of reading, writing, math, and science, and I have taught as a substitute in various subjects. I also have a great deal of volunteer experience with children: mentoring an 8-year-old boy for Big Brothers/Big Sisters, working with disabled children in a therapeutic horseback riding program, teaching horseback riding lessons to kids, volunteering for a children's shelter, and teaching an after-school program to 3rd-6th graders about pet-related subjects.

Throughout my undegraduate education, I tutored people of ages ranging from 6th grade up to the college level in areas ranging from English to math. As a mathematics and physics major, I have a very strong background in both math and science. Now, I am a Graduate Teaching Assistant at the University of Denver also pursuing a PhD in mathematics. So, clearly my strongest area is math, but I have always been an over-achiever in every class that I have taken, and I would feel comfortable tutoring in almost any area. My philosophy of teaching is that a teacher should let students discover solutions in their own way. A teacher is someone who is there just to lead them in the right direction. It is rarely a good thing for a teacher to just provide an answer because often times this is of no help to the student. A teacher must read and understand where a student is coming from in order to ask th

I am a well experienced teacher, with extensive roles in tutoring and other areas. I communicate well with people and especially enjoy working with growing young minds in encouraging and furthering their studies and, ultimately, their personal goals. I am a patient teacher, who believes in a variety of learning styles and abilities. Because of my extensive experience, I will help your child find their best learning strategies and teach them to harness their strengths and improve their weaknesses. I am easy-going, enthusiastic and driven, characteristics I will use to help your student succeed. I graduated from the University of Minnesota with a BS in Biolgoy and a minor in Chemistry.
