Experienced Math & Science Tutor

After college graduation, I taught Algebra, Algebra II, Geometry, Earth Science, Biology and Chemistry for one year at a private school in Fresno, CA. I then moved to San Jose, CA and taught at Valley Christian High School. I taught Algebra and Algebra II for one year and then taught Biology and Honors Biology for two years. I also taught Algebra in summer school to students that required more of a smaller, one on one environment to learn. During this time, I earned my California teaching certificate. I then moved to Wilmington, NC and taught for two more years at Waccamaw Academy in Whiteville, NC. Because of the long commute I faced every day, I got a job working for a Pharmaceutical company in Wilmington. During my nine years there, I obtained my MS in Chemistry from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. After only one year with the company, I became a trainer for al ... read more

I have usually excelled in most of my classes; therefore, I have years of experience tutoring my peers as well. I am also a self-motivated, punctual, and highly organized individual.
Children have the ability to learn in a variety of ways. I learn the appropiate way to aide a student in their studies by observing their technique of solving a problem and helping them explore the problem. I show students how to break down the problem in various ways to help them better understand it. ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I was hired full-time to teach in the sciences at a private college in Michigan. The subjects I taught included Anatomy and Physiology, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Nutrition, Chemistry and more. Over three years, I advanced to Dean of Health Sciences, and while I set up and administered programs in that area, I continued to teach in the sciences. After I moved to Wilmington, I taught for Miller-Motte College and one semester at Hoggard High School in Chemistry and Earth Science. I took an exciting 2-year position in Seattle, Washington where I developed curriculum for home care aides and weatherization technicians and I continued to teach in the sciences, both in class and online.
Tutoring is not just about improving grades, although that is the most obvious result. It is about allowing the student to feel the pride of success, and learn how to transfer newly learned skills in on ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

After receiving my teaching degree in May 2004 I was a substitute teacher in Washington State for 6 months. Then I spent the next 27 (Jan. 2005- Apr. 2007)months working as a Teacher Collaborator in the United States Peace Corps. Upon successful completion of the Peace Corps I moved to London, England and taught 6th grade from 2007-2010. During that time I did 1-1 tutoring with 10 children for a total of 100 hours. Tutoring was primarily in Math.
I find that teachers are most effective when they get to know the children. What interests/motivates them. Using that information I create lessons that are specifically suited for them. By using a variety of resources I help students maximize their potential by realizing that learning can be fun.

I have completed all courses for my Associates Degree and was a trainer at my previous position. When in high school, I was a college preparatory student and graduated with a high school Diploma as well as 12 Advanced Placement courses and completed my International Baccalaureate diploma.
I love teaching all grades and levels. The most important aspect of teaching is to know your student. Each individual learns in different ways, some are tactile learners, some are visual, and some are auditory learners. Incorporating all aspects into my teaching style assists the retention of the material. It also has to be relatable to the student, so we have to use relevant examples that they understand. All children can learn any subject if you can spark their interest. There is no better feeling than seeing the light turn on and the sense of accomplishment in a child's eyes.

A Little Bit About Me...

For me, there's nothing better than seeing that light of understanding and excitement come over someone's face when they solve a problem (like math) or suddenly comprehend a subject they were having trouble with (like how to write a paper). And it doesn't matter what the age is; anyone can learn. I'm very patient, but I don't take nonsense from anyone either. They have to be as serious about learning as I am about teaching.
My educational background (I’m an Ivy League grad), high levels of achievement, work experience, mentoring and teaching activities gave me the skills to be an effective tutor. As a senior employee, I mentored new employees. As a graduate teaching assistant, I worked with college students in helping them understand complex subjects. At my daughter’s elementary school, I worked with students on improving their reading skills. My strongest skill set is in English c ... read more

I believe educating is a matter of connecting with students in order to learn how to break down complex concepts so they can understand. It really is a challenge I love and I get a great deal of satisfaction when I see that eureka moment. I believe the reason that some people do not enjoy science is that they never had a teacher who was excited about making these concepts accessible. Discoveries can be made by the student when the educator finds the "keystone" principal that ties all the information together.
I received my BS in Biology from UNCW and for the last 15 years I have been an Environmental Chemist. Now, I am pursuing my true calling as an educator. It was a regular part of my job to teach and train new grad students and employees and also to do community outreach. In the latter role, I was guest lecturer on three occasions at Brunswick Community College and taught ... read more

Teaching has allowed me to personally understand the unique learning styles of individual learners as they face the challenges of standardized testing, a rigorous curriculum, and their social development. Teaching is not only a education of academics, it is the teaching of social, behavioral and academic development. We must understand their interests and what motivates the learner to excel in and outside of the classroom. Learners that are capable of understanding their own capabilities make it possible for the learner to participate in the learning process.
As a student in high school, I was intrigue by the concepts of math and science. I entered college seeking more knowledge in these subject areas. I received a BS in Chemistry in 1999 and later decided in my life that I wanted to share my passion of the subject areas with others. This is when I decided to pursue a teaching ... read more

I achieved the Eagle Scout Award in the Boy Scouts of America program and was selected by American Legion Post to attend North Carolina Tarheel’s Boy’s State in the summer of 2000. I graduated from the University of North Carolina Wilmington in 2007 with a bachelors of Science degree in Chemistry. My degree required supplementation with Math and Biology, taking such classes as calculus I&II, multivariative calculus, matrices, human/animal anatomy and physiology. For four years I tutored other college students in algebra, trigonometry, geometry, calculus, and chemistry. I currently work with Measurement Incorporated where I score exams, essays, open-ended test items, and performance assessments.
