Logic Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Girdletree, MD

I love to see a person understand something they have been trying so hard to understand. I know that all people are going to learn differently and that I have to determine how a particular person learns. I am a very patient person, and I know that if a person is not understanding a subject, I just need to find another way to explain it. Every student has the capability to learn. I hold a BS degree in Mathematics from Salisbury University, where I regularly tutored my peers in various math subjects, physics, and chemistry. I also studied Spanish, with which I can still carry a basic conversation. I also taught English to Spanish-speaking immigrants through the Worcester County Board of Education for about 6 months.

As an undergraduate, I became a chemistry tutor for two high school students in my junior and senior years. This experience led me to return to college for post-baccalaureate work in order to receive certification in the state of Maryland for education in chemistry. Additionally, I received a physics minor which benefited me greatly when I began my educational career in Maryland teaching various levels of high school chemistry and introduction to chemistry and physics for 7 years. As a part of teaching these courses, I also have had to teach algebra I skills which are necessary in order to be successful in these courses. I also have experience in the classroom working with students with learning disabilities and ADD/ADHD. My educational philosophy is simple: all students can learn—you just have to find out the best way(s) for each student. Once I have assessed how your child learns

After graduating from college, I worked in a Top Secret position in Washington, D.C. I left that position to pursue teaching, and earned a Masters from Boston University. I taught high school classes for several years, and also worked in IT as a trainer and troubleshooter. I was asked to direct a community college basic skills program, and did so for 7 years, rising to a Dean's level. I have more recently taught and consulted for a private primary school. I have recently moved to Delaware after a long time out West. I like a jump right in style that is forthright and honest. I have a sense of humor, and will use it teaching, but only sparingly. I believe that the student's desire to learn is the biggest factor in his or her mastering information. I have a lot of experience working with students who have had terrible education experiences, who have not had support at home, who hav

While an undergraduate at Maryland I tutored students and helped my friends in chemistry and math. When I went to Graduate School I taught lab and two discussion sections, making sure the students understood the lecture material from the Professor. I have knowledge in general chemistry as well as extensive knowledge of Organic Chemistry. I tutored my daughter by helping her understand the underlying reasons for a reaction vs. just memorizing a huge list of organic reactions. My style is to focus on the reason for a reaction so you can extrapolate what will happen with materials your have not seen before. This was the technique used when I took graduate level organic courses at Maryland.

I enjoy working with students in small groups, or one-on-one, I believe that in order to help a student succeed in a subject matter in is first necessary to show him/her a real life application of the skill set you are teaching. If you are teaching successive addition or subtractions, the use of a checkbook, and mock purchases, will allow the student to see the value of learning the skill as opposed to simply thinking of it as one more "rote task" she/he must learn to get a passing grade. I have tutored and mentored in the Seaford School District for 4+ years under the Junior Achievement Program and have worked more informally with my three children and their friends in Math and Science. I have organized and produced "Mr. Science" shows for PTA functions and taught math concepts through the use of Color to show the benefit of learning both Cartesian and Polar coordinates in a fun envi

I have always tried to teach concepts differently than traditional ways and somehow apply these to real life situations. With younger folks, real life situations don’t always work so I try to relate to their specific situation. Teaching children has always been a passion of mine and can be challenging. With the right combination of teaching style and self confidence everyone has a chance to be successful. I obtained my AAS in 1986, from Hudson Valley Community College, located in Troy, NY. Working toward the BS wasn’t easy as it took another 8 years of night coursework. I eventually obtained my BS from the State University of New York Institute of Technology at Utica/Rome, in 1994. I have excellent communication, writing, and problem solving skills. The credit requirement for my degree was 146 credits, which is a little bit more than the average. I have tutored subjects including pre-ca

I have 18 years of corporate training experience in various roles, including platform instruction, designing curricula and developing courseware. I have a real passion for teaching, bringing a solid set of technical skills and exceptional patience to providing students with a productive learning environment. I am very highly rated by my students, consistently ranking in the top five percent among my fellow instructors. I also attended graduate school, partially completing coursework to teach math at the junior and senior high levels. I completed all of the preliminary courses and prerequisites, but unfortunately due to family issues at that time, I was able to complete the Masters program to be certified to teach. I am an experienced technical educator with proven success in instruction, curriculum and courseware design and development, project management, and education center management

As a graduate of Wellesley College, I continaully strived to do achieve a high level of excellence. One of my biggest regrets in life is that I didn't get a teaching certification while I was in college. It is a profession which I would truly love. As the mother of two children, one of schoolage, I realize now that it would have been a great life choice for me. I have helped many people with their skills along the way, and I would love to do it in a tutoring format now. Because I have a passion for learning, I love to share my own knowledge with others. Because of my own children, I understand that every person has their own style of learning and I love to discover that avenue for people to help them to grasp whatever it is they are trying to understand.

I received my first tutoring credential in the early 1970's specializing in prep-school placement tests, college-board prep etc. While attending Grad-School (Temple University) in the mid-70's; I worked as a substitute teacher in the Arch-Diocese of Phila. on a high-school level, primarily instructing History. At seventeen I completed the Evelyn Wood speed reading course, not that that is directly relevant to my teaching style. During the past 20 yrs. I have had a credential in several states, but have tutored only on a volunteer level. My forte is adapting to the individual student. I have an inate ability to deciper the way each student's mind absorbs knowledge and I am flexible enough in my methodology to adjust to the necessary path. Although my approach is always conctructivist, my teaching methods vary from child to child. I was raised in the urban decay of the oldest neighboorho
