Pre-Calculus Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Foley, AL

When working with math students, I take easy and manageable step-by-step approaches. During sessions, I believe that it is important to work out problems together as well as making sure that a student can solve a problem without my assistance. My classical training on the violin focuses a great deal on technique, intonation, and theory. I stress the importance of warm-ups and scales to improve a student's tone and shifting techniques. 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 experi

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 have a Bachelors degree in Biomedical Sciences. I have taken courses such as Biology, Chemistry, Genetics, Immunology, Microbiology, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Physics and Comparative Anatomy, and Mammailian Physiology. I also taught the labs for the Microbiology for three years and also taught the labs for Comparative Anatomy for a year. I worked with hundreds of students and throughly enjoyed that time with my students. 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 m

From both my tutoring and teaching experience, I have concluded that each individual learns differently; therefore, I believe it is essential for teachers to discover each student’s learning style and teach them accordingly. I also strongly believe that learning should be a rewarding, pleasant, and even fun experience. Furthermore, I know that each and every student is able to learn; however, often times it is necessary to instill a desire to learn in them. This can be done by illustrating a passion for learning. Once a student realizes the rewards of acquiring knowledge, helping them learn becomes a quite simple task as they have become lifelong lovers of learning. Coming from a family of educators, I knew from an early age that I would become a teacher myself; therefore, all the steps taken to prepare for my professional life have been to enable me to be the best teacher I can be.

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 presentations. I am the author of two books on Organic Analytical Chemistry. I was also honored by being appointed a Science Fellow in Monsanto. I am currently scheduled to teach Organic Chemistry I this summer at the University of West Florida. 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 Chemistr

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 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 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

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

I believe that every child can learn. My job as a teacher and tutor/mentor is to discover which way will work best with each student. I am very patient and easy going. I believe in a reward system for all students. If students have something to work towards earning, then they are more likely to work harder at achieving their goal. I believe that I can and will make a difference in your child's life. I began my college experience as a biology major. During my studies I found that my true love was not in the field of biology, it was in the field of teaching. I have experience with a varity of learner levels including regular education and special education. My experience also includes a variety of age levels between elementary and middle school. I am currently a middle school teacher and I have taught a variety of subjects. I have taught reading, science, history, language arts,

Having always enjoyed Math from an early age, I decided to pursue a Math degree and use my passion for Math to educate future generations. Having graduated in the Spring of 2007, I've taught High School Math for the past 3 years within Escambia County. I believe all children have the ability/aptitude to learn the information given to them, but it's the way that information is presented that will stay with your child forever. I feel it is my job to not only present this same information to your child in a new way, but to, in essence, teach your child how to learn and teach themselves. Almost all Math processes can be broken down into steps, and putting those steps together, like climbing stairs, will get your child to the top.

I have a BA in Philosophy/Religious Studies and I also studied Environmental Science with over 40 credit hours. Due to this wide range of studies, I have strong skills in both reading and writing, as well as in math and science. During my college experience I tutored my peers and for the last two years I have been a Sunday School Teacher and a Youth Pastor. I have also spent time as a volunteer tutor for homeschooling students. I have always had a strong desire to learn and to teach. I work hard and I am diligent to complete a task. My joy is to work with children of any age to help them grow and develop and learn. I believe it takes love, grace and patience to teach a child. The student must not only be expected to learn from the tutor, but the tutor must also learn from the student. Learning can be made enjoyable when a teacher has an encouraging spirit and does not give up on their st
