My comments on tutoring Pre-Algebra : How many students start to have real mathematics trouble here? The reason is poor teaching! Most middle and high school math teachers are good at MATH, not at TEACHING it. I am excellent at explaining inequalities, solving for one variable, functions and graphing, multiplying, adding, subtracting and dividing exponents.

Teaching middle school and high school science from 1983 to 2004, including every science subject listed in the TutorSelect list. I have worked as an educational consultant for national science laboratories, helping them train their scientists to work better in the school classrooms where they volunteer. I have worked for museums and for outdoor education programs, but have found the most satisfaction as a classroom teacher with all kinds of students. I have worked teaching teachers, but they were very difficult students.
Multiple ways of presenting material; musically, visually, building models, finding answers by testing a hypothesis; experimenting, measuring, observing, seeing, touching.

I attended school in Europe with a diverse background in all things cultural. I have multiple degrees from New Mexico Tech and have the coursework completed for two Masters in Education and Biochemistry. I am a licensed K-12 Teacher in NM and have been a teacher for over 15 years. I have taught all subjects and all grade levels and am quite proficient in Science & Mathematics.
I believe that learning happens when students are DOING things and having fun. I have a very hands on and fun teaching style where I make things real and relevant. I also have many ways of demonstrating and explaining things which helps student understanding and increases subject comprehension.

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy teaching young adults, watching "the light bulb go off" as they come to understand concepts that had been eluding them. Math is a subject that centers around understanding and applying a surprisingly modest number of concepts. As such, I focus on the concepts and their relationships, preferring to look at the concepts through varying problems from various domains, rather than through repetitive drill. Learning how to think logically and methodically is an essential skill I look to pass on to my students.
During my career as a researcher in the field of software engineering, my work depended on mathematical thinking. I have spent considerable energy, from my time working toward my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in engineering and through my subsequent career, communicating ideas through writing, lecturing, tutoring, and creating and teaching courses. Watching my own childre ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy helping others and believe that teaching is a constant learning experience for the teacher/ tutor as well as the student. If at any point I reach a topic that I have not used in some time, I am willing to purchase a textbook or topic material in order to refresh myself, to better help the student. In most cases, I prefer to purchase material for myself in advance, so I am prepared for the student prior to meeting.
As a graduate from New Mexico Tech, I believe my education to be advanced and very useful. NMT has very high expectations for its students, and demands an obscene amount of drive and focus. The math department in particular, is very challenging; therefore, I feel that my hard work and achievements present much to offer any student. All of my prior tutoring experience has been volunteer work for family members and friends in various fields; mostly mathematics, but ... read more
