I have over 15 years of experience as a classroom instructor and as an online tutor in various subjects. I am very patient and work well with children and adult students as well. I have a Master's degree in Psychology. I use principles of human’s learning behavior, cognitive process, and memory mechanism in teaching and creating a curriculum.

My interest in numbers and abstract, critical thinking has prompted me to study math at Pensacola State College. I graduated high school summa cum laude with honors in the subject. I was also a member of Mu Alpha Theta, the national math honor society. What I hope to achieve by tutoring is to build students' appreciation for numbers and to help them gain confidence. I am also a violinist and have played the instrument for over ten years. I have experience playing for weddings and church services ever since high school and have performed as a soloist on many occasions. Being a part of the Escambia County Youth Orchestra and All-County Orchestra and performing at the professional level have taught me the importance of intensive practice, preparation, and being punctual. When working with math students, I take easy and manageable step-by-step approaches. During sessions, I believe that i

I try to tailor the teaching method to the student. I have taught college level courses for twenty-five years and have enjoyed it greatly. Most of teaching has been at private colleges with small class size. Student evaluations have ranged from good to excellent. Students have particularly found me helpful in office visits. I have also tutored high school students in math and science.

Taught high school algebra for 2 years at Leflore high school. I have also tutored college algebra 1 and 2 to college students for the past 3 years. Last math class taken was differential equations where calculus 3 was the prerequisite. BTW I'm a great tutor, cheap, and always willing to help anyway I can.

I have tutored business calculus 1 and 2 during one semester, and I've also led a Supplemental Instruction lecture in principle of biology during another semester. Supplemental Instruction is a branch of academic support at Auburn in which I attended a professor's principles of biology lecture and set up my own lecture to provide extra help for students who desired some assistance with the material outside the main lecture.

I worked first hand with professor and teaching assistant and have learned what they are looking for. I believe in teaching concepts and helping students fully understand ideals rather than students just memorizing facts. This way no matter what the professor asks they will know how to answer questions and ace exams. If they just memorize things, they can get confused and get answers distorted. I believe in hands on learning and teaching. I would make "Jeopardy" games to quiz students and also have fun at the same time. By quizing on concepts that are being taught, it gives insight to what the student is understanding and therefore, I can adjust and clarify things that the student is not understanding. I enjoy teaching and helping students. I have a Bachelors degree in Biomedical Sciences. I have taken courses such as Biology, Chemistry, Genetics, Immunology, Microbiology, Organic Chemis

I have always wanted to teach but enjoyed the research that was available working for a large chemical company. I had the opportunity to teach Organic while I was working and enjoyed it but the time constraints were tough. I am now retired from industry and will be teaching in the Chemistry Department at the University of West Florida. I am very enthusiastic about chemistry and that comes through in my teaching and tutoring. I have made a very good living doing something I love to do and that is reflected in my teaching style. After finishing my PhD I went to work for Monsanto as an organic analytical chemist. My speciality was the use of mass spectrometry to understand organic chemical reactions and the products and impurities that were formed. While working for Monsanto I also taught College chemistry classes (Organic I and II and the labs). I have over forty publications and forty pre

I have always been a quick learner when it comes to mathematics. It is something that comes almost natural to me. With that said, I understand that this is not the case for everyone. I feel that a good majority of people hate math because they don't understand math, and because they don't understand math right away, they don't try to understand it. I had a wise professor once tell me, "Math isn't difficult; there is no such thing as difficult math. It just seems difficult because you haven't learned it yet". I think math can be easy for anyone, they just have to learn it first. I started tutoring math when I attended Faulkner State College. I then attended the University of South Alabama where I tutored math and physics. I have tutored all levels of math and also tutored not only physics, but lab activites as well.

I have one BS in Electrical Engineering, and while an upper-class student tutored younger students. As a senior, I also tutored Intro to EE students on request 2-3 times per week. I currently teach Leadership basics to enlisted Marines during the week. I have a heavy math and science backgrounds based on my major, but also have self-studied psychology, history, and technical writing. I can tutor in almost any subject at the high school level, and engineers or math/science courses at the collegiate level. In my military experience, I see all sorts of learning styles and ability levels. I am able to break down hard concepts of math/science/engineering so that regardless of learning style, we can work towards understanding. I find that many students struggle because no professor has taken the time to relate it to the student in a way that they can internalize and retain. I firmly believe th

As a young man raised in a military life style, I have always been extremely motivated and possitive in striving for excellence. I graduated from Florida State University with a Bachelors of Science in Finance Degree where I received specific knowledge, skills and abilities. After college I was able to put my wife through pharmacy school while working with a private investment firm as the Senior Portfolio Analyst. I have also held positions that required diversified skills to deal with customer service, analysis, mentoring, managing and leading a team of piers. My teaching style is standard in the extent that I believe everyone can learn specific material, they just have to figure out a way to relate to the material. Growing up I was tutored by my parents with the style of trial and error. I believe this works only with certain individuals, while others may require a step by step ex

I enjoy a Socratic method of questions to teach. Each student has her/his own style of learning and the Socratic allows me to home in on that style and give the student ownership of the larned material. I have ben told I have the parience of job and a "down-to-earth" way of explaination. After graduating with a dual degree, I taught in Texas for 27 years in the fields of English, Geography, Health/PE, History, and Math. I have presented multiple times on the state level in math. After moving to Pensacola, I have tauht two years in the Florida K-12 sytem, presenting in Tallahassee in an area social studies conference, and three years in the community and junior college system. Recent tutoring includes math up to college Algebra, some physics and chemistry.

I can claim over four years of tutoring, article writing, and editing experience. You will gain someone with passion and flexibility. I have received consistently positive feedback from copy editors, students, and supervisors. I've earned a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry and a Minor in Materials Science and Engineering. On top of those credentials, I've completed additional coursework in Numerical Methods, Differential Geometry, and Polymer Physics. My intention and goal in tutoring: For students to experience the thrill of understanding a facet of the world, self improvement, marketable job skills, and the sweetness of sincere achievement. I will make it a priority to invest time and energy into helping anyone who needs assistance. Having said that, I will not bribe students with undue flattery, irrational ego boosts, alleging that "everyone's a winner just for trying
