Physics is one of my top subjects!

My background is Physical Sciences and I have extensive experience also in teaching and instructing students. I instructed students during their undergraduate physics and engineering studies especially in the lab projects in science and I also trained Ph.D. students during their research work in the lab. I worked with high school students during their internship at National Cancer Institute in Frederick MD teaching them a broad range of subjects, from calculus to chemistry and biology. I also tutored K-12 students in few subjects such as Math and Physics.

Engineering student at UMD, well versed in many subjects.

I am currently enrolled as a student at the University of Maryland, College Park, in my junior year studying mechanical engineering. Prior to my studies at UMD, I took several classes at Frederick Community College, while in high school. While on my way to this level, I have taken many interesting classes and seen both effective and ineffective methods of communicating the critical content of these subjects. I am very familiar with both high school and college level math and science, and still use many of those principles in my current studies. I do have limited tutoring experience, mostly from tutoring friends and family.

College: Calculus I Calculus II Statistics Electrical Circuits General Physics I General Physics II First, I'd like to tell you about myself. I am currently a student at Mary Baldwin College. I plan to double major in mathematics and physics and then transfer to a graduate college, where I will be studying for my masters in engineering. My passion for math comes from my desire to be an engineer in the future, and since then I have disciplined myself to getting good grades in math. In high school, I took every possible math class that was offered and graduated with honors and a 4.9 GPA. I am currently taking calculus and physics and hope to keep getting good grades in both subjects.

In 12 years as a high school teaching assistant, I have worked primarily with individual students in a wide range of subjects ranging from art, literature and history, to science and mathematics. This has provided me with interpersonal skills and a pool of knowledge that will be invaluable in a tutoring setting. Flexibility is a necessary skill in an educational system. As a teaching assistant, I must constantly stay well organized under changing conditions and perform a wide range of assignments with confidence. I have to communicate effectively with students who have a wide variety of interests and intellectual capabilities. My calm, soft-spoken nature has been an asset in working with an individual student without disturbing others.

I believe that teachers are a major influence in every student's life. As I move forward to pursue my master in education degree, I realize more and more the difference I can make in helping students reach their academic potential. I am patient, friendly, and dependable. I will work my hardest to make sure my students get the knowledge they need to have success. Because all children learn differently, my goal is to be as knowledgeable and flexible as possible so that I can provide the best learning environment for each student.

Teaching is something that has always come natural to me. Whether its giving golf lessons out at the local country club, or teaching my younger siblings math and chemistry. It is something that I enjoy and I will persist until results are shown. My teaching style is to first observe, then diagnose flaws and work from there. I have much faith in the capability of the human brain and believe each individual is capable of greatness. Thus, I never give up on any student and trust that they too will be able to do or learn what I have.
As a graduate of the Department of Engineering at Vanderbilt University, I feel I am very qualified in tutoring Calculus 1 and 2. Not only have I taken the classes both in high school and during my time at Vanderbilt, the engineering curriculum reinforced these theories by integrating Calculus into nearly every core class that I took. My degree taught me h ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have assisted a number of students; Grades 1-12 as well as college-aged and continuing education in various math and science courses. My previous career included 27 years in the television industry at various local production facilities in Oklahoma, Texas, Maryland as well as the Washington DC bureau of the ABC Network. I love tutoring all ages, and find that adults, while a bit harder to reach in the beginning are usually the most enjoyable to work with.
I like to take the "mystery" out of the subject. Math can be especially scary to students who don't have a strong foundation in general mathematics and reading comprehension. I am currently volunteer tutoring an adult friend in general math and I am proud to say that her understanding of the basic principles have increased dramatically in only a couple of sessions. I like to teach students how to take each problem apart into i ... read more

I recently graduated from Cornell University with a BS in Chemical Engineering and am currently pursuing a BA in Mathematics at Hood College. This past year I was a teaching assistant for Statistics at Hood College in the Psychology department. I worked with a variety of students with very different backgrounds including those who do not consider themselves "math people" at all.
I have tutored many different kinds of students, adjusting my teaching style to see what works best for them. I am very patient and can explain things in more than one way. I try to see how the student learns and understands best so that I can adjust and we can make the most of our time. It can be very frustrating for the student to not understand immediately, but breaking down the problem into multiple doable steps can give the student a sense of accomplishment as well as hope to try another problem.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am well aware that most of my students will not pursue the hard sciences as a career in academia or industry but I believe that everyone has the ability to grasp scientific concepts that will be relevant in their chosen fields. For this reason I approach every course I teach as an opportunity to help students demystify the myth that science is difficult. I believe that leaning is a dual effort between teachers and students and hold all my students to a high standard, academically and ethically. I hope that at the end of any science course that I teach, students would have gathered some confidence in their ability grasp scientific concepts and to analyze information.

I like to make the students think logical instead of methodically deriving the answers. I try to concentrate on teaching problem solving skills, as this would strengthen their base. I tutor my peers and help them understand the programming concepts that pose a challenge for many. I was also involved in Society of Women in Engineering organization, where we visited middle schools to mentored girls to pursue science subjects. I believe teaching is a gift and sharing knowledge is the best way to accept this gift. I am patient, easy going, and considerate with kids. I love listening to them and believe they are great teachers to us at times. I like to hold intellectual conversations with them and also play games such as chess, scrabble, suduko.

I refer to my teaching style as "structured, yet relaxed". I believe that it is my role as an instructor to provide the overall structure of the class. I am very flexible in order to deal with a variety of student’s .As an instructor; it is my role to present information in a way so students learn. One of my teaching goals is inspiring the students to take the time to read into a subject, and to learn to look at it from different angles before giving their opinion
I have a master’s degree in wireless communications and a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering. As a masters student I have tutored the undergraduate students in advanced engineering math. I was a teaching assistant to the faculty in my masters program and was responsible for handling the class along with the administrational responsibilities.

I enjoy teaching. In particular, I love to devise new ways to present a particular topic based on the power of reception. I always believe in presenting things with pictures, examples, and whenever required in a slow pace. I have seen in many times students answer some questions just superficially but they become very excited when I explain to them the real ... read more
