I have had teaching responsibilities since I began graduate school. At SUNY at Buffalo, I was an assistant for courses in calculus of a single variable, multivariable calculus, and linear algebra; at SUNY at Brockport, I was the instructor of a course in basic algebra. Currently, I am a graduate student and adjunct instructor at Binghamton University. I have taught calculus of a single variable - both differential calculus and integral calculus, linear algebra, and a course for liberal arts majors. I have also tutored students in probability and number theory. Throughout these experiences, I have gained an appreciation for the teaching of mathematics. It is an art that is intended to attract, even captivate, the attention and imagination of students. Students see my excitement about teaching. Most find my enthusiasm infectious. I understand that many students seeking tutors hav

As a freshman forensic chemistry undergraduate student I was tested out of the general chemsirty courses offered at York College. This being the case I needed to find a way to keep chemistry fresh in my mind till the higher level courses were available to me. A professor suggested that I become a lab assistant for the general chemistry classes. This job included preparing all necessary chemicals as well as working closely with the students and faculty. I helped tutor students in both the lab and classroom. I remained a lab assistant for all four years of my college career and helped train many new lab assistants who were also students. Most my experience with teaching has been on the peer level therefore it has always been easy for me to relate to the students I was helping. Having recently gone through a difficult degree I feel my experience with learning good greatly help other student

Education stands atop my own list of the most important plights of mankind. I believe people are at their highest capacity for learning when they are children, and that such open minds should be given the resources to grow and educate themselves. I am very patient and persistent in my methods. I think teaching is an art of framing the student's mind so that they find themselves more engaged in the world through expression and description of it from the human language perspective (whether numerical or verbal). I get along well with kids and as long as the student I am working with has an attitude of openness, I am sure that it will be a successful, possibly even fun, experience. As a Cornell graduate, I have had the opportunity be lectured by academic experts spanning a wide variety of disciplines, and have experienced many different teaching styles. I have worked as a course assistant,

Between my studies at Roberts Wesleyan College in the liberal arts field, where I earned a bachelors degree, and my studies in math and computational science I have an exceptionally broad knowledge base. My work experience further illustrates this having worked briefly as an English teacher in Prague as well as the various sales and customer service jobs I have had including Verizon Wireless, Wegmans, and Radio Shack. I love working with people and teaching them about the things that I am passionate about. I am very patient and throughout and I have learned a lot of valuable techniques such as asking the right questions to confirm that the student has learned the lesson as well as planning out what the important points are that I need to cover. I also try to illustrate points using a variety of learning styles that over time I can customize to individual students.

Firstly, I usually made a plan according to the total tutoring time. Then, I taught the kids using standard class books and assigned them some homework after class. And when necessary, gave exams to test whether they have made progress. I have just obtained my master's degree in Materials Science from University of Rochester, NY, and I got my bachelor's degree in Applied Physics in Shandong University at Weihai, China. I can tutor physics, math, chemistry, and Chinese for high/middle/elementary school students. And I have two tutoring experience. 2006 summer, tutor a girl with elementary math. 2007 summer, tutor a group of middle school and high school students physics and math.

I tutored for the Sylvan Learning Center in 2010. I tutored all math subjects K-12 and occasionally science. I was most successful teaching High School Physics. I also tutored some kids privately on the side before Sylvan, in 2009 and early 2010. I worked for WordsandNumbers in Baltimore MD right after graduating, in late 2005. I assisted with editing K-12 math educational materials. I like to explain the concept while drawing pictures or showing some example problems, then have them work through some problems. I'll explain more thoroughly reiterating some key points after the initial exposure, and then try to pick out weaknesses while watching the problem set progress and work on those weak points. I like to encourage the student by pointing out the things they are excelling at.

I graduated from the University of Buffalo in 2005 with a Bachelor’s Degree in physics and a minor in mathematics. I am extremely proud of my academic achievement there as I earned the title of Summa Cum Laude, and had cumulative GPA of 3.9. Since then I have discovered that teaching is my true passion in life, and I have earned my Master’s from the University of Rochester in 2009. During my education and up to now I have gained extensive experience working with a wide variety of students from all over the Rochester area. I continue to strive to bring my love of science and mathematics to my students and hope to enrich their lives if only in a small way. I believe that the best way to learn anything is to actually do it and have it be relevant to your experiences. That is why I strive to make science and math come alive for my students so they can see that the things they are learning ar

I am a hands-on learner and believe that the best way to teach is to have the students participate. Students should be comfortable in their learning environment, and as a teacher, it is important to adapt your teaching methods to fit the students strengths. I believe that passion drives the learning process; when a student is interested in the subject at hand, they are much more likely to gain the most from the experience. I have a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering, minor in Environmental Engineering, and am currently enrolled in graduate school to pursue a M.S. in Sustainable Engineering. I have extensive research experience in these fields, and am most interested in improving the standard of living of those in need. I have worked on several projects, in the U.S. and abroad, incorporating sustainable energy and improving health conditions. Currently I am on the Technology Innovation Develo

As a past student of a prestigious liberal arts school, I am certainly skilled in my field. I have earned a bachelor’s degree in Physics and Mathematics and a master's degree in Physics, a process that has granted me a great deal of knowledge in the fields of math and science. During my term there, I earned two institutional awards for my excellence in physics, as well as membership in both the national physics and mathematics honor society. While in school, I also served as a teaching assistant, recitation aid, and tutor for introductory physics courses; this has afforded me much insight in addressing the questions and facilitating the learning of my students. At every stage, I attempted to provide aid to any interested student. I enjoy assisting students in achieving their academic goals. I believe that everyone has different strengths, but that a degree of proficiency can be ach

I firmly believe teaching requires structure. In that regard, the learning process requires a sequences of steps. Firstly, the student must understand the problem to be solved or the skill to be acquired. Secondly, examples are required to show how to approach and solve a prolem. Lastly, overarching concepts can be introduced to unitfy that which is new with that which is already understood. This approach has succesfully trained and kept the interest of all individuals that I have mentored. As an individual involved in advanced development activities at Eastman Kodak, I had the opportunity to apply my knowledge of science into product development and I also had the opportunity to train other individuals in the workings of a new product as that product became commercialized and a large staff of engineers and technicians were needed for the product's manufacture.

My philosophy of teaching is based on three principles: Helping students learn, love of my subject matter, and love of life long learning. In graduate school, I was fortunate to have a teaching assistantship in the undergraduate chemistry laboratories. During and after those hectic three hour labs I discovered the joy of seeing the veil of confusion lifted from my undergraduates’ faces. I’ve been gifted with the patience and creativity to discern where the confusion originates and to explain topics in many ways so that any student, who wanted to learn, could learn from me. I saw that I too, would continue to learn from teaching the students—it came full circle. I leveraged my flexibility, creativity, and training to establish a reputation as a productive research professional in a Rochester, NY industry. I am the co-author of 22 US Patents, the recipient of numerous awards for my
