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

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. 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.

Statement of Teaching Experience and Philosophy I had my first teaching job as a pre-university student. I taught agriculture and helped part-time with physics. I then learned the key components of a lesson plan; the topic, the objective that addresses in measurable terms what shall be accomplished (the student shall be able to use VSEPR model to predict molecular shapes, for example), the why (the utilitarian value of what is learned) and how (the activity to be undertaken), the assessment that provides a feedback on the extent to which the objective was met and, finally, the summary and conclusions. Since then I have taught in various times and capacities, some of which were voluntary, often teaching either physics or chemistry. I have not forgotten the words of a certain presenter who was charged with the responsibility of seeing to our induction in teaching shortly after I was hired

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

While at Salisbury University, I studied Environmental Issues and firmly believe in the theory I learned that education in the beginning for everything. I have always loved learning, and as a result, I also pursued a minor in Chemistry, for the sheer love of science. Immediately after college, I spent the summer teaching riding lessons at a camp in Colorado. In the evenings, I took off my cowboy boots and spent my time acting as co-counselor in a cabin full of elementary to middle school aged girls, depending on the session. Since returning from Colorado, I have spent my time as a substitute teacher. I have taught students in Pre-K, all the way up to 12th grade. During my time teaching, I have been selected for two long-term positions. I’ve always enjoyed teaching others, whether I was a kid tacking up my pony and giving informal riding lessons or leading fellow undergrad students thro

I use a "Consultive Style", i.e. I ask good questions to ascertain where the student needs help. I also try to identify what they may find difficult and how we may best address this issue. I also demonstrate where the subject we are studying may prove very helpful in careers and/or lives. I have tutored and mentored High School Football Students in all levels of Mathmatics, Physics, and other Sciences. I have conducted numerous Training Classes in the Business Administration Field such as Marketing, Cost Accounting , and Statistics. I attended Lehigh University on an Academic Scholarship. Lehigh offers a great , broad based engineering education. I love helping young people develop. My four children are grown and ALL of them attended college. I attended Duke University on a Corporate Stipend. I love helping young people develop. In fact, my two favorite activities are helping young

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. 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.

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 gained a solid understanding of many disciplines of math and science through my study of Physics. I have honed my writing and general English skills through the writing of laboratory reports, essays, and the completion of a thesis project. I have more than six years of experience tutoring students in math, science, history, and English. I try to guide the student to find a personal understanding of the concept. It is one thing to explain a point of difficulty to the student, but it is preferable for the student to be led to an intuitive understanding. It is my goal in teaching to facilitate the student in finding this type of understanding.

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
