Pre-Calculus Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Only, TN

I have a passion for teaching and helping others. While getting my law degree (more on that below), I tutored math at all levels (K thru College Algebra) at Huntington Learning Center in Jackson, MS. I built a strong reputation at the Center for working really well with students, finding the right approach for each student, and getting great results. Many parents scheduled their child's time around my availability and work schedule. I've worked as an actuary (highly math-oriented) for the Tennessee Department of Insurance and have spent most of my career working in the insurance industry where math is very much at the center of everything. Essentially, I have a lot of real world experience using math for real and practical purposes. I also did quite a bit of training and teaching in the corporate world. That was definitely one of the most enjoyable parts of many of my jobs.

Easygoing. Math is fun! I believe everyone has the ability to understand and apply math, or in other words, to be good at it. My general approach is to focus on the logical foundations of a given subject and then to exercise that knowledge on practical applications. Nearly everything you need to know is right there in your text! It just takes a careful and thorough reading of the material, much like any other subject. I have zero formal teaching experience. However, I do have a great love for the beauty of math and a great interest in helping others reach their mathematic potential. I have spent a great deal of time with Calculus and Probability with a focus on detail and problem solving during the course of my actuarial studies, and my algebra skills are incidentally very good.

For the past 28 years, I have worked in Industry as an Electrical Engineer. I am currently pursuing a Master of Science degree in Mathematical Sciences with the goal of teaching college math, preferably at a Community College. I have experience teaching at the community college level and tutoring in High School Math. While working in industry, I taught many classes including statistics for Six Sigma certification and basic power distribution concepts and calculations. Also, I am a licensed Professional Engineer in Tennessee and South Carolina. I have always wanted to teach Math and have finally been able to take time off from full time work to obtain the required education to do so. I realize that many folks experience difficulty learning Math. In most cases, there are several ways to teach a particular concept. If one method does not click with a student, I will try another method

I have spent over 30 years in business and financial consulting. My lifelong passion has been for mathematics and education. I have reached a point in my career where I can focus on giving back of my talents to students through mathematics education. I have minimal formal teaching experience (student teaching and adult education at the college level). But my career has included extensive education and training of adults from diverse skill levels and cultural backgrounds. I am well versed in the real-life application of mathematics in business, finance, and insurance. My mathematics is current and applicable from middle school through most undergraduate college courses, especially statistics. My teaching style varies with student learning styles. Although drill may be appropriate for some skills, my preference is project or problem based methods that draw on the learner's experiences and

I have and undergraduate in Physics and my MBA with an emphasis in Marketing. That together with 10 years experience in the Non-profit, Healthcare, Manufacturing and Pharmaceutical industries has given me the tools to understand different environments and how to approach different environments. My background has been in reporting, business and financial analysis and that taught me the mindset on how to dissect problems and construct solutions. My teaching philosophy comes not only from experience in my past education but also from being a manager in the workplace. I believe that we have to create the perfect environment for teaching from the onset so students can apply those tools in life. I think the whole goal of school is to give you the tools so you do well and prosper in life. I think we tend to forget in this day and age and end up trying to repair poor habits later on in life

I was at the ITT Nashville and Draughons College campuses for 9+ years and School Chair of the CAD/MM department at ITT for 3 of those years. I have taught multiple subjects during my tenure including almost all of the classes in GenEd and in math, physics, calculus. I am currently pursuing my Master's of Science at UTMartin in MSEd in Theory and Practice and finish next year. My 15+ years in engineering, B.S. in Physics, qualifies me. I have also tutored for Sylvan Learning, Wyzant, And Club Z over the last 5 years which gives me the advantage of knowing how to 1-on-1 tutor. I wish to be part of the best in the field of Education and public service. I would like to pursue new and exciting positions in the educational field I introduced ALEX math based software modules and self-paced tutoring for all Quarter I and II students in mathematics, and supervised the Tutoring pool among stu

I enjoy working with others and have the same satisfaction in watching those that I have helped succeed as if I had succeeded myself. I am very patient and believe showing an individual what to do rather than telling them can help in the learning process. I have trained and supervised brand new accounting staff for a few years so patience and understanding is a must. Throughout my educational experience, I have always exceled in Math, finance and accounting. I have a bachelor's degree in banking and finance from a major University in MS as well as 18 additional accounting hours from a major University in Nashville, TN. I have also worked in the financial industry (primarily accounting) for approximately 7 years. My primary expertise would be in Algebra and Algebra II for high school students and Financial and Managerial Accounting for college students.

I love teaching very much. From my years teaching experience, I have always been a popular tutor/teacher. I am very patient person, sometimes I can explain ten times without feeling boring. I am very humorous, so it's my expertise in motivating my students to work hard and enjoying studying. I always go extra miles to give a comprehensive picture for my students to help them understand more clearly. I have excellent communication and interpersonal skill. I have lived in four countries until now. My ability to adjust to environment and make connections with people is outstanding. As 1st year MBA student, I was very much driven to achieve a level of excellence in education. I had a bachelor degree in Law. During my undergraduate, I exchanged to Korea and managed a marketing project in Singapore. I worked for Siemens before I attended MBA program. My GPA is 3.6 and GMAT 700. I have excelle

While in college, I have worked with numerous tutoring programs both paid and volunteering. I worked for two years as a tutor mentor for the Upward Bound Program, where I managed a group of 12 college students that tutored and mentored 75 low-income and first generation students in grades 9-12. Also while in college, I have have had the opportunity to work closely with numerous Metro Public Schools around the Nashville area. Currently I am working with the Martha O'Bryan Center at a Reading Achievement Program Tutor. I believe that each child has its own learning style, therefore as a tutor you must be able to adapt quickly to the specific needs to every child. I think that the most important thing in tutoring is gaining the attention and confidence that you know what you are doing and talking about. I also live by the belief that repetition is the father of learning.

I first began tutoring during high school, volunteering with Time to Rise in Nashville, TN, a program that supplies students from underperforming schools with supplemental education. After high school, I excelled during college at the University of the South, spending time in Oxford at St Catherine's College, graduating summa cum laude, and being elected into Phi Beta Kappa. The liberal arts curriculum there provided such a broad education that I have maintained competency in nearly every subject. Such an education has come in handy during the four months I have been tutoring, as the students I assist will ask my help on subjects ranging from geology, to English lit, and to mathematics. My own experience as a student has shown me that i was most effectively motivated when I realized the enjoyment I could draw from schoolwork.
