A Little Bit About Me...

I find that demonstration though example is the first step to understanding. This allows for an initial exposure to the material and plants seeds of knowledge. Adjuvant to demonstration, motivation and enthusiasm to learn the material must be taught. All the homework in the world cannot replace this! Regrettably, students often struggle due to poor instruction or vague textbooks which erode a student’s motivation. Fortunately this can be overcome with a little outside assistance. My long term goal of teaching is to foster a mature understanding of the subject matter. To master a subject it must be learned from multiple angles before the bigger picture is illuminated. Once a subject is illuminated it must be continually revisited for long-term retention.
To me education is a way of life. My academic career has been driven by a thirst for knowledge. I have earned a B.S. in Bi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is patient, encouraging and uplifting. I like to encourage students to try things that they feel that they are incapable of. I like to provide lots of examples and demonstrations with my teaching in order to insure that students fully understand what is being addressed. I set high expectations and try to nurture a love for learning and for exploration in art.
I hold a bachelor's degree in art education and a master's degree in arts management. With these degrees, I have taught in the public schools and have held positions in the education departments of several major museums. I have taught a wide variety of course and all age levels. I am certified to teach both visual arts and computers, business, and marketing. I am an art teacher in the Chicago Public Schools currently. Besides teaching art, I also teach a computer course for Columbia College.

A Little Bit About Me...

Obtaining a Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering has exposed me to advanced courses of Math and Science, two subjects which have always fascinated me. I have pursued and achieved excellence in these areas all through my school years and my post graduation career as an industrial engineer has only advanced my knowledge in these areas. English language has been a strong interest of mine since an early age and I have actively cultivated that interest. My reading, writing and grammatical skills have only improved over the years with all the reports, theses and presentations that I had prepared during the course of my education. I have previous and current experience of tutoring students in Math, English and Science.
As a recipient of higher levels of education, I know the career opportunities that such an education opens up later in life. And I am motivated to share my knowledge an ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I truly believe mathematics is the universal language. Math can be used to explain everything from bookkeeping to sophisticated engineering problems. I tutored mathematics to college students at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee for two years. During these two years, I learned how to teach problem-solving skills to students from basic algebra all the way through the calculus series. I am currently published in a scientific journal of applied mathematics in biology, which enriched my math experience by forcing me to explain a math problem to biologists. My math communication skills and teaching ability make me an excellent candidate to help students struggling in this area.
I am believer in providing a bottom-up approach to mathematics. I first present a difficult problem to the student to find where their current level of expertise lies. Once I identify potential issues the stu ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I often helped people with their math regardless if it was 3rd grade or college level. I'm always offering my help to friends around the area or even online. I was hired as an on demand tutor at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh recommended by a professor of mine for an intro to abstract math course. Here is a list of math courses I completed at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh: Calculus I Calculus II Calculus III Intro to Prob & Stat Mathematics for Comp Sci Intro to Abstract Math Intro to Linear Math Math Stats I Intro to Number Theory Intro Num Analysis Linear Numerical Analysis Math Modeling Differential Equations Intro to Real Analysis
First I like to try to ask them where they are having trouble or watch them do some problems to see where they are having troubles. Where I find the problem I would show them the correct ways to approach a problem an ... read more
