Math was never an issue for me, I was always ahead of the curve in my math scores, and when I got the chance to relate that math ability to economics, it all made sense. Economics is second-nature to me. Economics puts calculus into real-world situations. Breezed through it in high school and first couple years of college, realized it would be an excellent thing for me to major in. Economics is all about logic, and being a logical person, economics always came easy. When you think logically, you are thinking economically. In economic problems, you always assume the agents in the problem will act in their best interest.

I am a licenced Chiropractor in practice for over 26 years. Before Chiropractic college I attended the University of West Florida stopping 5 hours short of acquiring my BS in Biology. While attending Chiropractic college I tutored Organic Chemistry at the local community college. 80% of my daily work activity is in educating my patients about how the body works both physically and chemically. I perform several in office chemical tests and have had extensive courses in Chemistry and Biology. I understand the uniqueness of each individual and the need to approach and present material in a manner that creates interest yet imparts understanding of the course objectives. It is absolutely essential that the future generations acquire a good education. I have benefitted greatly from my education and I take great pride in sharing it with others.

During the last eight years I have worked full-time in vocational and adult education environments. In addition to ESL, I have taught VESL (Vocational English as a Second Language), and GED Preparation. I have lived outside of the U.S. for five years. During this time I learned the languages, and engaged in work projects including I.T. Consulting, telecommunications, and graduate studies. My heart is with my students and my assertive style allows students with significant barriers to gain access to employment. Many students have shown their appreciation for quickly passing the GED examinations. I believe each audience deserves the correct teaching style(s). If the student has not reached a high level of education then I hold no opinion of this. I utilize a multi-cultural perspective and my appreciation and understanding of other cultures allows me to assist in the creation of an expe

I enjoy teaching and enjoy working with many different types of students. I believe children have different learning styles, often unique to them. In today's multicultural world, I believe it's important to take the child's learning style and culture into account to help the child find academic success. I am experienced, patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best teaching/tutoring that I can to ensure each student's success. As a graduate of two colleges and universities, I am driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I have earned two college degrees, a BA in Psychology and a MEd in Education in cross-cultural teaching, which has enabled me to gain a diverse understanding of students from different cultures and those who have diverse learning styles. I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers and laboratory re

I have worked with both children and adults. As each tutoring situation is unique, I bring a variety of skills and abilities to each person. I believe in utilizing a multi-sensory, multi-modal approach to teaching and tutoring, incorporating all senses into the teaching and learning experience. It is only through diversified and varied instruction that any type of tutoring session is going to be effective in both knowledge acquisition and information retrieval. I strive to have each student reach their highest level and potential, while at the same time, enjoy the learning experience of each individual tutoring session by tapping into their higher order thinking skills. I have 22 years of tutoring experience, from both my own business, Mr. Tutor, and freelance work. I have tutored both academic subjects such as Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies.

As a former paraprofessional with a Master's Degree in Social Work I have worked with kids in the past behaviorally and academically. I have a solid grasp of English, Grammar, Social Studies, and Mathematics. I enjoy working with children of all ages. I feel my career in social work has allowed me to become more centered on compassion as a means of education, and engaging the child in the learning process while being compassionate. Children typically learn best when in a positive, comfortable situation. I would like them to feel comfortable enough to feel like they can be their best around me.

I believe that all students can be successful, it's just a matter of finding the right lever to make education enjoyable and relevant in their own lives. I successfully use cross-ciriculum education in order to teach students at a higher level of Bloom's, thus insuring greater retention rates. I use scaffolding to build upon prior knowledge in order to keep new information relevant to the student. I have a great passion for education and for helping the students reach their full potential in a way that makes them want to continue to excell in their studies. I have taught in a variety of educational institutions including; private schools, public schools, charter schools, boarding schools, tutoring, and group homes. I have built music programs from the ground up, as well as having taught a variety of ESL/ELD classes. I also have experience in teaching reading and writing and the midd

First, and foremost, I believe that effective learning is both fun and relevant. I have always been able to make a game of it and to make it both interesting and challenging to others. My goal is never to teach them a rote solution, but to challenge them to think about the concepts and have then tell me the answers. This builds their confidence and solidifies their learning experience. I find that if they understand how a concept was derived in the first place, they seldom forget that story and therefore have learned something that will stay with them for a live time. I prefer to use the Socratic Method and draw the information from my students. Again, I think it is best if they THINK rather than learn. Over time I see all my students (and all our five daughters) have responded well to this approach. As an engineering student, I scored A's in 4 Quarters of Calculus, 3 Quarters o

As a veteran teacher, I have had a myriad of experiences teaching students on many different levels and subjects. As is evident, I have always been driven educationally and spent many years teaching advanced math and science to college bound high school students. Even though currently I am teaching Special Education, I am still very much excited to be involved in the math processes. I have privately tutured students in Chemistry, Physics, Geometry, Algebra and Trig. As I am excited to teach and as I love children, my teaching style leans towards the very caring, compassionate and loving side. I enjoy when a student begins to understand something and revel in their success! My goal is always to be their advocate, to meet them on their level and to provide the most comprehensive teaching possible.

For my BA I decided in my Senior Year that I wanted to get a Masters Degree in Education so I switched my major last minute from Elementary Education with Emphasis in sciences and General Education to a understanding of how people learn. I have tutored friends and family in understanding a variety of subjects. Student success is a top priority of my mission and I will be receiving my Masters of Education in May. Teaching students is a passion and an art. I approach each situation by trying to understand what stress factors are experienced by the students, as well as how they need to be approached to learn. Some students need to have a direct approach, others need to try on their own and then step by step correct their mistakes to both build up confidence for doing well and understand where they went wrong. I strive to make sure the student understands the process and not just memorizes t

I received my B.S. in physics and went on to work at a Community College tutoring math. I enjoyed this work immensely and received excellent reviews from the students. While working at the college I also tutored middle school and high school students privately. In High School I took a class on Society and the Child which involved tutoring english and math two days a week for a fourth grade class. I plan on returning to school in 2010 to obtain a Masters in Secondary Educaton, with my focus on Math and Science Education. I have found that there is nothing so rewarding as that moment when a subject 'clicks' for a student. By staying positive and adaptive I believe it is possible to guide students to finding solutions on their own. I work at finding new ways to approach common stumbling blocks and try to show students how applicable math is to everyday life. If it had not been for a few ext

I had the opportunity of tutoring college algebra and basics of statistics during 2003 and 2004 while pursuing my Master of Business Administration degree at Bellevue University in Bellevue, Nebraska. Also had the opportunity of being teacher assistant for geometry during my Junior year while taking my bachelor degree. Currently I manage a retail store for a Fortune 100 company and I just finished a concentration on Finances to add to my MBA degree. I certainly strive for having my students to understand the concept of the subject, rather than memorizing every step of a given process. Understanding the basics will give you the tools to solve or analyze a problem for a possible solution and that will lead you to more successful results.

I believe that there is no substitute for individual instruction and that all students benefit from receiving one-on-one feedback from an instructor. I am friendly, patient, laid back, but also dedicated to helping others achieve their best. I love to find ways to make the learning process fun and/or unique, as my experience has taught me that this greatly assists in retention of the lession. Finally I am optimistic and believe that expressing a positive attitude and encouraging others to adopt positive attitudes greatly improves the learning process. I have a BA in History and an MS in Library and Information Studies, which provided me with study/research skills and knowledge of history and ancient literature. I gained grammatical and writing skills from writing papers, essays, and case studies. I have three years of experience as a substitute teacher where I taught a variety of su
