ALL STUDENTS HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BE SUCCESSFUL ACADEMICALLY.

My approach to teaching is more of a "why" approach. It is more important for students to know why something is or works rather than just how. This approach works well for middle and high school students. It allows students not only to understand the ideas taught but to apply them to other areas as well. I also like to use visual aids as well as conversation. I have found that many of us vary widely in learning styles. Some are visual learners, others are audio learners, and still others are a combination. I work well one-on-one but also enjoy small groups. I look forward to working with you or your children to produce results they can be proud of. I have a BS in business and can tutor in any business related fields. In addition, my original college major was physics. I can and have taught physics, math, (up to differential equations) and physical sciences. I have also been an ame

My experience in teaching is broad and varied. I have taught medical students, other physicians, technologists, as well as teaching at military facilities. In additiom, I have two school age children myself and I believe that I am their primary teacher. This varied teaching experience allows me to tailor my teaching methods to the students and has allowed me to gain a great fund of knowledge. I believe that learning is best achieved in a comfortable, nothreatening enviroment. People learn best when they understand the importance of the material being taught, something I strive to convey to my students. While I can easily teach a didactic lecturing style, I feel that an interactive approach often better meets the needs of the students. Ultimately, education is a reflection of the students success and the teacher is merely a means to that end.

Ever since I was quite young I have enjoyed mathematics. I went into the field of engineering to apply this love of mathematics and logical thinking to systems and products useful to our everyday lives, first as a Corrosion Engineer then later with a Master’s degree in the Biomedical field. I now use my love of the subject to encourage students, especially female students, in the elementary grades and tutoring at the local community college in all math related subjects, from business math through calculus. My students would describe me as very patient. I listen to my students so that I can understand just what the roadblocks may be to their learning. I strive for each student to gain a full understanding of their course material and will try different approaches as necessary to reach this goal. This is not generally feasible in the traditional classroom setting and is what I conside

I love working with elementary and middle school aged children. I believe that each student is unique and requires their own approach to learning. I also believe that understanding how to set goals and achieve success is essential to learning. Growing up in a community of dedicated educators, I find joy in helping others learn in the same caring and understanding environment. A University of Notre Dame graduate, education has always been a top priority. I have earned two bachelor degrees, on in pre-medicine and the other in psychology. In the pursuit of these degrees, I have developed an understanding of math and science. Over the past three years, I have had the opportunity to mentor a South Bend, IN middle school student. During this time, we worked together on her reading and comprehension skills, as well as improved her math abilities.

Teaching is my passion. I strongly believe that every moment is a teaching moment, whether or not it is intended to be. I feel that my job as a tutor and as a teacher is to bring out the knowledge within. I understand that every learner is different and for this reason I begin with an assessment of each student. I then try to use their learning habits as a start for future lessons. I believe in learning through experience as opposed to memorization and so every opportunity I try to create a hands-on environment. I also am intentional in personalizing lessons so that they make sense and are fun to the learner. I also stress retention of information through constant review and skill-building. I am a very patient, encouraging, and enthusiastic tutor. I am an upcoming May 2006 graduate from Allegheny College, majoring in English. Given my background at a small, liberal arts college a

I love working with students and helping them to learn and understand. I believe that any student can understand any subject and that all students are able to succeed. I am an innovative, flexible, and patient individual. I am excited to work with students helping them to succeed in all that they do. As for a specific teaching style, I beleive that teachers should adapt how they teach. This ability to change is what allows all students to learn no matter past experiences in a given subject. As someone who is working full-time and going to school full-time, I am driven to succeed in everything that I do. I have earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry and am currently pursuing a Master’s Degree from Liberty University so that I can teach.
