I have tutored at a Learning Center at Shippensburg University for the past two years. I have accumulated over 100 hours of tutoring for all collegiate math courses at the 100 level, all at the 200 level, all at the 300 level, and one at the 400 level. I have participated in over 20 hours of tutor training. Typical subjects include finite mathematics, calculus I, calculus II, calculus III, discrete mathematics, calculus-based statistics, complex analysis, precalculus, mathematical modeling, calculus-based physics, euclidean/non-euclidean geometry, asbstract algebra, linear algebra, and many more. At the Learning Center, I have achieved CRLA level II certification. In my experiences, I have found the best way to fascilitate the learning of mathematics is through visual instruction via a whiteboard and/or blackboard. After the student sees an example of a problem done, I like to sit do

I currently possess a bachelor’s degree in biological science from Keystone College as well as my PA Instructional Certification for Secondary Education in Biology, which I obtained from Drexel University. I meet NCLB’s Highly Qualified Teacher requirements, which means I am highly qualified to teach biology to any student in grades 7-12. I completed my student teaching at Lackawanna Trail High School where I taught 7th grade life science and 10th grade biology. Soon after this experience, I was hired as a full-time substitute biology teacher at Montrose Area High School where I taught 6 classes of biology including 10th grade college prep biology and 11th & 12th grade AP biology. I am a firm believer that teaching style should encompass diversity of instruction and assessment because the students themselves are very diverse. I will begin each lesson with an agenda and an intended learn

I love teaching and working with all children and adults. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am willing to change my teaching strategy to help all students. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I have learned many teaching skills through my experience in a physical therapy clinic setting. I am extremely focused on succeeding in life, and I want to help other succeed in life, too. As a senior student at Misericordia University, I was and still am driven to achieve a high level of excellence in my classes. I will receive my Master's in Physical Therapy in May of 2011. I have performed extensive study in a gross anatomy laboratory and I have taken and excelled in many science courses. Also, at Misericordia University I was selected to be a gross anatomy teaching assistant working under the supervis

I am a graduate of Marywood University 2010 with a degree in Mathematics/Secondary Education. For two years I participated in an Academic Excellence program at Marywood. My position was a math tutor at a "drop-in" center. It was here that my peers could come at anytime to be tutored in any mathematics subject. I recently completed a semester of student teaching at Valley View High School, where I taught 9th grade algebra and 10th grade geometry, and at Dunmore Middle School, where I taught 8th grade algebra and pre-algebra. I successfully completed both. I am willing to go above and beyond to help a student achieve success. As a teacher and tutor, there is nothing more satisfying as when the “light bulb” finally goes off for the student. I believe my enthusiasm for teaching and learning works in my favor. I think that excitement is contagious and when a few students get excit

I love teaching and working with all age groups. I am patient and easy going. I believe all children can learn, but each does so differently. My goal is to find the best way for each individual. This often entails different approaches at times. I provide mainly a constructivist and sometimes "expert" (focus on facts) approach to learning. However, I have found that a variety of styles may be needed to help a student learn. I believe in using a variety of learning materials to help reach students: such as audio, visual or other technology available that may help them be successful. If students have the appropriate atmosphere and materials they need, I believe they will be successful. I've always highly valued education. As a former teacher, my quest to achieve high levels of excellence in education continued. For the past nine years, I've taught several levels of science courses

I went to school for Communications/Advertising. This is where I achieved a Bachelors Degree and went on to pursue a full time career as a graphic designer. However, I have always excelled in math. In High School & College, I achieved all A's. Also, I tested out of a math class in college because I knew the material so well. While still in school, I tutored fellow students in math. However, I also have tutored 2 separate high school students in math. The first student was a sophomore and needed help in Algebra I & II. The second student was a freshman and needed help with Basic Algebra. I like to believe I have the ability to speak with all children and teenagers in a way they can understand. I feel like I can take something that may look like an unsolvable 1,000 piece puzzle and turn it into something that will start looking like a 200 piece puzzle. I have always had a

I believe anyone can learn and their quality of knowledge improved by finding a level and rapport that works for each individually. I work patiently, with humor, and at a pace with students that helps them to feel not only comfortable but appreciated for their efforts. I consider a key ingredient to be to first find what base levels of knowledge the student has before plunging into the subject at hand. Once this base has been assessed, then it is much easier to explain the principles and methods required to solve most any problems. I try to combine the characteristics of those I have worked with and educators in my past, that I found to be the easiest to learn from, and as well to not feel patronized or talked down to. I retired from IBM February 2010 after 31 years and my new goal is to be an educator. I did custom circuit logic design for numerous products and conducted education

I have three degrees, Masters in Biochemistry, B.A. in Biology, and an Associates Degree in Business Administration. Currently, I am involved in marketing for a law firm, and am responsible for writing Excel programs for customer tracking, website SEO, and generally raising the profile of the business, and analysis. I have been responsible for training many people, and am particulary good at training young people for the SAT. I am applying for the job I found on-line of full time science instructor, and I believe I can bring a practical as well as theoretical background to this position. I take pride in discerning each student's learning style and then teaching them in the most effective manner. I am a firm believer that all people are teachable, and that no real method is ultimately the best, but that the approach should be tailored to what the student is good at.

I have valued teaching since I was in elementary school. I believe that a teacher has one of the most important professions, as they teach and guide the future of our country. Since I realized my continued success in not only learning mathematics, but being able to teach others that did not understand mathematics, I decided that teaching was the right path for me. I believe that mathematics may be one of the most disliked subjects for most students, and my goal as a teacher is to change that opinion. People seem to be intimidated and afraid of mathematics, but I believe that with my help, students will gain confidence in completing mathematical problems. I have been tutoring in Mathematics since I was in Massapequa High School. There, I tutored fellow peers and friends. At the University of Scranton, I was involved in the school's professional tutoring center as a mathematics tutor of al

During my four years of experience at the University of Scranton, I have tutored numerous high school and college students in algebra, geometry, and calculus. I am going to obtain my bachelor's degree in secondary education on May 31, 2009, with a concentration in mathematics. I have just completed student teaching, where I taught and tutored students in Algebra I. I have completed an Honors Program thesis on technology use in the classroom, and have found ways to implement the technology into my lessons. I have helped students of all ability levels and have received nothing but high praise from my tutees. Teaching is my calling. I devote my time to helping students of all ages and ability levels understand mathematics. I plan to take a pre-assessment and see what the student needs the most help in. I then devote the time needed to that area and continue to give hints and utilize techniq

I try to tailor my style to the student. Each student I had tutored when I was in college I had basically spoke with them, got to learn what they strong points were, their weaknesses, and areas that needed more base learning. I tailored lesson plans to help fill in their educational gaps, created small weekly assignments, and also helped with their current homework/lesson plan. I believe everyone learns in different ways. Some are more visual, others are more auditory so I tried to not only explain but also show by using whatever tools necessary/applicable (graphs, pictures, charts, etc.) My love of mathematics began while I was in elementary school--I looked forward to those classes and took as many as I could from my high school, Wyoming Area. I had, at one point in middle school, helped to tutor some students in one of my classes. While in college at Susquehanna University, I ha

As a tutor at Eastern University I came to the realization that not all students learned in the same way. I have a different teaching style as compared to the teachers putting things into real life examples, or even making things hands on so my students understand better. The students knew that I wanted them to succeed and would stop whatever I was doing to help them do homework, study, etc. I can relate to the students while still respecting them and encouraging them to shine to their highest potential I recently graduated from Eastern University as a double major in accounting and finance.My courses in investments, finance, accounting and business have given me a solid base upon which I plan to build my career. I have a strong knowledge of QuickBooks, Excel, Word, PowerPoint etc. During my college career I was a tutor for the entire business department tutoring all accounting and finan

As a graduate in Accounting, I was given the tools to be able to teach and comprehend a lot of math skills. I was able to take both Business and Math Courses in college including: Business Management, Calculus, Business Accounting, and Algebra. During the last 4 years I have privately tutored students in math and 98% of them went from being F students to B-A students in both math and business courses. I love to teach students of all ages. I love the looks on their faces when I help them get something that they never thought they would learn. I am very patient and love to show them a few short cuts on different things that way it makes it easier for them to learn and comprehend. The teachers and tutors of this country are the ones responsible of forming our children and make them ready for the real world and what they can do in it.
