More About This Tutor...

I have been a tutor for this past school year at Saint Xavier University and tutored developmental Math. I have also tutored calculus, geometry, algebra, and trig while i have been attending my undergraduate degree.I have found that the best way to tutor a subject is to get to learn the students learning style and then using real life applications so that the student can get a better grasp of the material and it has worked well when i was at Saint Xavier.

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy teaching; it is my best talent. I understand that math is not a "favorite subject" to a lot of students. Working one on one in a tutoring situation gets past the negative block students have in a math classroom. Several of my private students have worked with me for several years. Their parents said that they felt more confident in the class room and in testing situations because of their work with me. In addition to tutoring in traditional school math subjects, I have also worked with several students on ACT preparation. All of these students achieved a higher score on these tests after working with me one on one.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a University of Chicago graduate in English with a minor in Environmental Studies. I have always had a strong interest in and affinity for mathematics and the sciences, particularly Earth Sciences, and I am very familiar with Environmental Law in particular. I particularly enjoy reading (thus the English major) - poetry above all - and playing chess (for which I am also available as a tutor).

I first question the students in what they already know to see the areas that need less instruction. Then I ask them problems from their school texts and see how they do. This will give me some knowledge of where the student is failing and the area that needs more support. I then ask them at the session's end if they learned something and how that makes them feel. This is most important because if the student does not feel that they are learning and what the knowledge can be used for, they will loose interest and not pay attention in class. This is why many fail technical courses because unlike other subjects, math and science builds upon itself so if you do not learn the basics first, the next topics will be harder to grasp.

I am a recent college graduate. I was award "Top Student" Honors in Genetics for 2007-2008, and "Outstanding Student Honors" for 2008-2009. My overall GPA was 3.8/4.0. I am interested in how others learn, and I took several psychology courses including Educational Psychology and Adolescent Psychology. In the course of my college education, I studied mathematics all the way up to calculus. I also excelled in general chemistry, and completed a heavy concentration of biology courses. I have written several research papers, and have excellent grammatical skills. I majored in communication at Purdue in the course of my Humanities degree. This would help me to communicate with individuals from all walks of life.

Generally, I'm a constructivist, and I believe the best method of tutoring is providing a completely individuated scaffold for any student. While I was raised in old-school education, I believe that some of the newer techniques of education through hands-on, the use of digital technology, and through writing across the curriculum are effective for many students.
I have two bachelor degrees, one in computer science, the other in mathematics with a type 09 cert (6-12). I belong to Mensa and the NCTM, and have excellent English and decent Spanish speaking and writing skills. I have taught and tutored in mathematics and computer science for quite awhile, and I earned a 95% on my PSAT and a 32 on my ACT.

Education has been a strong theme in my life and I know every kid deserves to have the same opportunity that I have had in my life. Even though I don't have any professional teach training, I compelled to help those that I can, using what I have learned.

I am very patient and understanding person, who is willing to do what it takes to make a difference it at least one child’s life.

In my experience I have discovered that it is better for the student, whether he or she is at elementary or university level, to come up to his or her own conclusions and answers. My style of teaching does not involve doing the work for the student, rather I like to say that I provide the necessary information and aid to point the student in the right direction. This in some cases can take a lot of time and patience, but in the end one learns better when he or she does things himself instead of someone doing it for him. I also believe that one of the most important things to do initially when teaching new students is to create a friendly environment, where the student feels at ease with asking absolutely any question pertaining to the coursework. A student will not listen to a tutor who he or she cannot speak to on a friendly level or respect. I guess to boil everything down, my approach ... read more

I have no absolute teaching style that would apply to all students because I feel that each student is a unique individual with their own specific needs. There for it is much more important to adapt individual lessons and teaching strategies to each student individually in order to capitalize on the strengths and weakness of the individual. I prefer to tailor my lessons to each individual situation in order to achieve the most beneficial and desired results possible in order to achieve predetermined goals.
