Experienced high school and middle school math tutor

I have taught high school math for the past 4 years involving Algebra I and Algebra II ( at various levels) and Geometry and Pre-Calculus. I have worked as a tutor for the past 6 years in these subject areas as well. I have also worked with middle school students who were taking basic math or Pre-Algebra courses. I took a course at UNH to learn strategies and techniques involved with tutoring.
When tutoring, I try to meet the students needs by utilizing methods of teaching which take into consideration the student's learning style. I explain concepts using visual representations as well as numerical/algebraic models. I am a very patient teacher who will find various ways of explaining math concepts, until I find one that works for the student. I teach students the "why" behind the process rather than explaining the process of finding a solution by only listing a number of ste ... read more

My comments on tutoring Pre-Calculus : I hold a Ph.D. in Mathematics and an M.S. in Statistics and have experience teaching undergraduates and graduates.

My diverse skills and experience in mathematics, statistics, and computer programming should be advantageous in this circumstance. I have worked with mathematical software and statistical models since 1989 and love doing collaborative statistical and mathematical research to solve challenging problems. I hold a PhD in Mathematics and a Master’s Degree in Statistics. I recently worked as an independent machine learning consultant. In this capacity, I dealt routinely with HMM (Hidden Markov) models, neural networks, and LSA and LDA analysis of text data. This work consisted of programming in C++, Perl and Python and also required mastery of mathematical theory such as forecasting, Markov chains, stochastic processes, Bayesian statistics, and operators on Hilbert space. One of the tasks I accomplished was to improve and then implement in C++ an algorithm which used a projected subgradient m ... read more

I am an interactive teacher, helping students discover a process or algorithm with some topics. With other topics, I enjoy introducing students to software such as Geometer's Sketchpad. Tutoring is an individualistic endeavor,and I fit my teaching to the student's learning style.
I have taught secondary math in the public school setting for several years, community college courses since 2006, as well as tutored students of all backgrounds, age, and abilities in mathematics of all kinds, from prealgebra to calculus and statistics. I work well with students, finding out their background and history of their learning experience.

More About This Tutor...

As a recent graduate of a high ranking tech school with my BS in Business Administration and Materials Engineering I am very familiar with the academic setting and learning styles of various students. My areas of study require me to be familiar with high level mathematics and science in addition to an understanding of communication skills in both technical writing, such as lab reports, and business communication techniques. Throughout my academic career I was constantly tutoring my peers and have many years of formal and informal experience as a peer tutor.
Being a recent graduate of a university I am able to relate to students and understand the academic setting. I enjoy teaching and am motivated to help students achieve results in the form of grades and understanding. I think each student has their own learning style and finding that is important to the teaching process.

Over the past several years I have helped students achieve their potential in a wide variety of educational settings. I have taught several different subjects including social studies, math, reading, and French to students ranging from kindergarten to seniors in high school. Although my undergraduate degree is in history and my teacher certification is in social studies, I am fluent in French and am very good at mathematical subjects including geometry, trigonometry, and algebra.
I am very comfortable working with students of all ages. I am extremely patient and easy-going with a good sense of humor. I believe in enabling students to become proficient life-long learners. I try to encourage my students to look beyond the textbook in order to achieve greater enrichment in their lives. Learning should not stop at the school doors. In order to be successful in life, students need to le ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Throughout my 25 years working in business, I have enjoyed many opportunities to train, mentor and coach colleagues one on one. Many have been from another culture which adds to the delight of the learning experience as we work together. I originally trained as a tutor in the Rockingham County GED program in Exeter. I worked with a series of adult learners tutoring each in English and Math. I also tutored a high school teenager for whom English was her second language. We primarily discussed math and geography. My strength is working one on one. Additionally I teach children in Sunday school and in preparation for field trips as we travel around New England studying early American and church history.
I love math and thick it is fun! I enjoy facilitating the ah ha moments when a learner gets it! I direct the student by asking questions and encouraging them to develop an understa ... read more

More About This Tutor...

In the years prior to high school I struggled with math but I had a few excellent teachers (my mother included) that lifted my confidence and taught me that I can achieve my goals through perseverance, encouragement and mentoring. I realized that math is simply a step-wise pattern of correctly followed operations. While in high school and college I tutored underclassmen and classmates alike by correlating math to something they enjoy such as food or money. Obtaining a B.S. in Chemical Engineering has further exposed me to a variety of science, computer, and business courses which all use mathematics.
As a female in a predominantly male field I’ve had to formulate a self-teaching method since most of my professors were male and seemed to think and teach in similar ways. My goal when tutoring is to help the student discover which learning methods work best for them whether it’s memor ... read more

As both a teacher and a student, I have developed my knowledge of the many branches of mathematics. Over the past eight years I have instructed students in large groups, one on one, and online. Each of these experiences has honed my ability to determine the cause of students' difficulties and to find ways to help them improve their understanding of the subject at hand.
I feel that a tutor should focus on command, connection and clarity. A tutor must have excellent command of the subject material if they are to improve a student's understanding. A tutor must try to make a connection with his student for progress to be made. Finally, a tutor must be able to instruct with clarity if the student is to succeed. I strive to bring these three things to each session that I tutor.

More About This Tutor...

As an undergraduate I worked at the mathematics tutor lab in our department. As a PhD student I both taught and assisted in the teaching of mathematics courses at the university level. Also I have experience with privately tutoring elementary, jr. high and high school students.
I help point to the truth, aiding the student in discovery. I try to avoid being overly didactic, and prefer to work by asking questions. The most satisfying thing about teaching is being able to witness and participate in the process of comprehension.
