Algebra Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Fort Benton, MT

Growing up I always had a love for math and science. This drew me into the field of engineering. While earning a degree in Electrical Engineering from Notre Dame much of my time was spent in study groups and helping others understand areas they had trouble with. I have always had the desire to become a teacher. I realize that every person is different in how they learn and sometimes you have to be creative in how you teach. I am very patient and laid back and I understand that frustration from the student often occurs when learning something new. This is why it is important to have someone there to help them ease those frustrations so that they can continue to learn. This is my goal when I help out others.

I really enjoy interacting with students; when I am working with students, I like to teach in a way that allows the student to participate and provide contributions. Having been a student myself, I find that I learn best when the learning experience is interactive, which is why I try to involve the students as much as possible in a lecture or lab. I also try to provide feedback to queries promptly. During my time as a student, I always appreciated when I was provided feedback on assignments or to questions quickly and therefore I try to do the same. Finally, I try to teach lessons in a way that the material is relevant and familiar to the students in order to make learning process easier for them. While attending The Ohio State University, I majored in Animal Sciences and minored in both Life Sciences and Farm Management. The coursework I completed has enabled me to gain an understanding

Since a mathematics class can often be draining on a student; I try to counter this with my own passion for the material. Students will find that I am easy to get along with and yet, serious about the material. I believe a lot of difficulty can be found when a student tries to just memorize methods without understanding the reasons for the methods. As such, my focus is always on the concepts. Whenever possible, I encourage students to do their homework. Often the best teaching opportunities come when students get stuck working on their own and come with specific questions. When I entered Northwester College, I had the intention of pursuing a degree in Engineering; however, I quickly developed a passion for mathematics. After finishing my B.S., I moved out to Bozeman, MT to work on a Masters in pure mathematics. While in the graduate program I was privileged to teach one class per

I have worked for the last six years on a volunteer, part-time, and full-time basis with a non-profit youth organization called Young Life. During that time I have been intermittently substitute teaching and tutoring with public and private high school and middle school students. I am also a middle school football coach and have served for two seasons at East Middle School in Great Falls, MT. I have a degree in History from montana State University and am currently taking graduate classes part-time. As a history major I have developed skills in research and writing. I also am proficient in math up to geometry in high school as well as english, science, and social studies. I love to work with high school and middle school kids. My teaching style is firm in the sense that I will not do work for the student. I am casual in the sense that I prefer a one-on-one atmosphere to learning and a co

I absolutely love teaching and working with all children. I know from my education classes that children can learn in a variety of different ways. I personally believe that each child has a learning style all their own and it is up to us as teachers to tap into that style and help the student succeed. My goal is not only to provide the best education possible but I also hope to make a difference in the life of the student. In my own personal experience, I know that educators are some of the most important people in a child's life and I know I can help the child love to learn. As a man passionate about reading and grammar, I was driven to achieve a BA in English from Montana State University. Along with my BA in English, I have taken many education classes with the hope that one day I would become a high school english teacher. In addition, I have extensive experience dealing with c

While working on my bachelor's in psychology I taught for 3 years at an after school and summer science enrichment teacher and coordinator. I then decided to take my love of learning further and obtain a master's degree in teaching, therefore earning my elementary education teaching certificate. While working on my master's degree I tutored pre-k through 12th grade students in all subject areas. After graduation I received a position as a fifth grade classroom teacher in Sumter, SC. I successfully completed my 1st year of teaching last May and am looking forward to getting back to work helping students achieve their personal best. I believe that teaching is all about creating and fostering positive relationships. Many students are not connecting with their classroom teachers and are therefore not motivated or engaged in the classroom. I am flexible and patient as a teacher and I strive t

I am an educator that has been credentialed to teach Elementary Education. I have found over the last ten years that I am able to teach students the curriculum that they need as well as teaching the student how to learn. I have come to love math and science and am able to teach these subjects in the style that best suits the student needs to learn. I have, thru exploration, found many tricks and methods to help all students learn math. I have a very good understanding of human nature and am able to accommodate many different learning styles and modalities. All humans are basically learning "computers". We all have the ability to learn everyday. In order to teach someone, a teacher must understand the student as a person and learner. I love to figure out puzzles and to problem solve. Each new student I encounter is a puzzle that I get to figure out. Once I have the information I need
