I am very flexible in my teaching style and usually spend the first session gauging how the student learns. I am very patient and understanding however I strive to help the student discover their full potential. I have used many creative methods to teaching to include relating addition and subtraction to yards down on a football field, teaching trig by building and launching rockets, basically connecting what needs to be learned to what interests the student. Tutored math through calculus at local community college and basic chemistry, biology and math at the local University. Tutored while serving in the military in math and science as well as test prep for all ages, grade levels and developmental levels.

As a doctor of Biomathematics, I have a deep passion for mathematics and applied mathematics. From my undergraduate days as a math major at Columbia University, to the intensive research of my doctoral program, I have developed a finely tuned understanding of mathematics and the applications thereof. I have taught college courses both independently and as an assistant for 9 years, and am very comfortable teaching any level of mathematics. I enjoy one-on-one work, and find this to be the best learning environment for many students. Currently, I conduct part-time research and am hoping to expand my work as a private tutor of mathematics. My goal as a math tutor is to enhance my students’ understanding of mathematics. Often, classroom instruction alone is insufficient when it comes to learning complex subject matter. Some students might benefit from added practice, while others mi

I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Political Science with a minor in Accounting. I graduated from the University of Houston with a 3.8 G.P.A. in my major. I have learned to apply critical thinking via my education throughout my previous career in the hotel industry. I was a member of Toast Masters for a year and learned valuable communication skills and the ability to speak with precision and confidence. I have coached youth soccer for approximately 6 years and currently am the Full Field Program director (a volunteer position) for Harbor Soccer Club in Gig Harbor. In my career as a hotel owner/operator I was responsible for training and assisting in training of all employees for all levels. I enjoy working with youth and take pride in assisting them with confidence building as well as real life applications for learning and adjusting. I realize and understand there are differe

I have tutored and educated staff to raise their knowledge and understanding in an effort to help them appreciate their role and the benefit of their effort toward the goals of the overall department and organization. It has been my privilege to work with many bright, wonderful people who often didn't know "why they were doing what they were doing" or how important their role/work was to the whole. As a manager, I knew/know that 'you can only be as good as your people'. I love to see people succeed and come to believe in themselves and their abilities. I come from a long line of teachers and decided I didn't want to be another teacher--isn't if funny that I have most enjoyed the teacher/mentor role within work environments! Interactive--listening to and learning from student to determine "where they're at". Then, posing questions to enable them to find their own beginning/solution

The cliche saying of "practice makes perfect" does not stray too far from the core of my teaching philosophy, however I do differ on a key point. I believe that practicing anything (whether or not it relates to academics) can only be done successfully if certain foundational skills are present; just as a baseball player, regardless of inherent talent, will fail if they do not know how to hold a bat correctly, so will an English student fail, regardless of the inherent quality of their thought processes, if they do not understand how to properly structure an essay. Practice must thus be accompanied with structured guidance in order to ensure that a strong foundation is in place. I hold an MAT (Master of Arts in Teaching) degree from the University of Puget Sound, am Washington State certified to teach secondary English/Language Arts, and am passionate about helping others to develop an

I have been tutoring as a volunteer and as a job for a combined 7 years now. I have worked in both one on one tutoring with a dyslexic student, tutoring in specialized topics, and group peer tutoring. My longest individual tutoring experience has been with Aidan, who is dyslexic and I have been working with for 4 years. We focus on taking the larger, more daunting tasks and breaking them into smaller sections. Because of his unique learning style, I have learned many creative ways to present the information at hand. I have experience tutoring a wide range of subjects such as high school and college level chemistry and biology, math, world and US history as well as English. My teaching style involves being open and relatable while keeping he conversation related to learning and the subjects of importance. I feel like students respond best when they are in a positive work environmen

Since completing my formal degree training I have worked in several capacities in the field of education. I taught inner-city young adults in Washington, D.C. in all GED subjects. I worked as a Guidance Counselor and Education Services Officer for the Army for eight years. In the past two years I have tutored under the auspices of Tacoma Community College in all GED subjects. Prior to my work with TCC I tutored in the Kid Reach program for three years. I try to match my own teaching style with the learning style of the student with whom I am working, paying particular attention to language and vocabulary usage. I also strive to emulate my favorite math teacher's ability to think out loud in teaching any kind of problem solving task.

My goals is to get the student up to speed so they can succeed on their own. In mathematics, problems can be solved several different ways, so I adapt the method I teach to what is most natural to the student. I believe everyone has mathematical ability, but not everyone approaches problems the same way. If the student has problems in school, it's not because they're incapable. A little personal attention can help them reach their potential. I have been tutoring since my sophomore year at the University of Puget Sound. I tutor mathematics exclusively because it's my area of expertise as well as what I'm passionate about. My first tutoring jobs were referred to me by professors, where I privately tutored secondary school students in-home. During my junior and senior years I worked for the University as a peer tutor, tutoring lower division students in calculus and statistics. Current

My experiences as a home school instructor for my children at the secondary level of education, as a personal tutor for SAT and GRE test preparation, and as a teaching assistant at the university level have provided me with the requisite skills to assist students at various levels of education. In addition to preparing and presenting a full curriculum (including, music, art and foreign language) for my children over a period of four years, I also have two years experience tutoring in basic grammar and writing skills and library research techniques to university students. My teaching style, derived from a one on one approach as both a home tutor and teaching assistant, is simple: provide an open environment in which pupils feel free to ask any question. The most important aspects of tutoring are positive reinforcement, repetition, and assisting students as they develop confidence and lear

I tutored for the Federal Way, WA campus of DeVry University from spring of 2007 to fall of 2008. I tutored students in English, multiple maths, programming, game design, logic, and test prep. I stopped tutoring to devote my time to the final project of my degree. Now I'm an independent video game developer tutoring to make "ends meet" while I'm working on my first commercial game project. I present the information or concepts at hand in several different ways. I draw on the learners personal experiences to make the information or concepts relevant to them. I help the learner tie the information or concepts to their own knowledge base thus establishing ownership.

My drive for knowledge enabled me to complete three degrees by the age of 22. I have high grades in all my classes as well as the extra science and writing classes I take on the side. I have a AAST in environmental science and technology, a BA in marine science and environmental studies, and will have my BS in one quarter. As well as being a full time student except for the summertime I tutor people in need of a little extra help. I have tutors ages from 6-25 and people with disabilities as well. I can help them with every subject, however my strongest subjects to tutor in are Math, Science, and History. I have an understanding that each person learns differently and I am able to cater to those differences in the effort to better help them and encourage there learning.
