More About This Tutor...

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

I have helped in a 6 grade math class twice totaling over 50 hours. I helped with Mrs. Wilson's class at St. Elizabeth Seton in 2009 and 2011. I helped her teach some students math concepts and helped them with their homework problems. I have also tutored one 6th grader for one semester 2 times a week. I helped her with her homework and understand how to do it the problems that she faced. We also worked hard on the multiplication tables.

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 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 assist others in increasing their knowledge, to develop learning skills and make it an enjoyable process. I listen intently to what each student needs, and focus on meeting specified goals. Each person has the capacity to learn, and by using the strengths and commitment of the student, I will do my best to help the student achieve his/her academic goals.

A Little Bit About Me...

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 discovers they can tackle new problems gives them a leap in self-esteem to propel them to success for the rest of their lives.

More About This Tutor...

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 would only learn from those teachers that gave out assignments to know where I was at in terms of knowledge. I needed that to realize my weak points and was always happy to know I learned from my mistakes through practice and just before a test. A happy attitude from my teachers always made a difference!
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 experien ... read more
