Elementary Math Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Pe Ell, WA

I attempt to answer questions and explain concepts with as much detail as possible, while letting students discover answers on their own. I try and let the student arrive at the answer as independently as possible. I explain concepts using technical terminology, lamen terms, analogies, examples, pictures, videos, or drawings, etc. My educational intetests lead me to complete a wide range of subject-disciplines in Mathematics. At the South Puget Sound Community College Math Center, in an open classroom setting, I tutored up to ten students an hour. I also tutored privately for several years around that time, and in March of this year began tutoring again. I'm an expert tutor in the following subjects: elementary math, pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, and SAT prep. I'm also experienced with elementary education, grammar, reading, sentence structute, punctuation, etc. As a tutor, my goals

I believe that no learning occurs without relationships. I strive to connect with all my students. I am a passionate, charismatic, and resourceful teaching professional with a devoted interest in students’ cognitive and social growth. I seek to motivate and inspire children, as well as create a fun and challenging learning environment. I have very high expectations of my students and they quickly learn that they can achieve any task set forth with hard work and dedication. I have been an elementray school teacher in Texas for the last 8 years. I have primarily focused on reading/language arts, however I do have 3 years of math experience. The schools that I have taught in had many struggling students, and I was known to be the teacher that could help bring those students up to grade level.

I am a teacher who believes in student's leading their own learning. In the world of tutoring, that corresponds to guiding students toward their own self-discovery. My goal is to give students the skills and tools which will allow them to become self-sufficient and self-reliant students of the world no matter where they go. Specifically, I will teach them how to ask themselves and others the questions that will lead to the most satisfactory solution. My style is flexible and will match the attitude and expression of the individual and/or particular goals of students and their caregivers. I believe in meeting a student where they are at and respecting their individual values while at the same time improving academic achievement. I am a recent graduate of the Master in Teaching program at The Evergreen State College. I am a certified teacher in Washington state, endorsed to teach reading,

I recently graduated from the Evergreen State College with a degree in mathematics. My other fields of study included chemistry, computer science, and physics. I have numerous hours of laboratory experience to support my in class and text book understanding of the materials covered. I've been a tutor at TESC for 3 years now working with students from all walks of life and working on any scientific material I've had any experience with. I believe that whenever I'm working with a student they have the capacity to learn and internalize the material. I believe that the student can learn the material. My method of mathematical and scientific instruction is based off the Polya style of teaching where the instructor guides their students by questions and reviewing the known information. Thus the student's questions drive the student towards the answer desired. I find great personal reward when

I worked for the Washington State Department of Natural Resources for 14 years as an Endangered Species Research Scientist. I have extensive experience in science, math, technical writing, computer programming, and database management. For the last 18 months I have been laid off and enjoying parenting my 2 children who are 11 and 7. Over the past 10 years I have volunteered in their schools, been active on the PTA, and taught Sunday School. I know I will be an excellent tutor of English, math, science, information technology!

I will be upfront, I was known as a firm, but fair, teacher. I see science as a field primarily learned through doing, and I enjoy performing science demonstrations with my students to help illustrate new concepts. At the same time, I expect students to attempt to solve problems on their own, as opposed to simply memorizing how I solve problems. While it is sometimes difficult at first, I find it gives them confidence to approach future concepts and ideas both in and out of the specific science course. As a high school teacher, I facilitated the instruction of approximately 100 students in Chemistry in accordance with Massachusetts Learning Standards. Developed and implemented course curriculum for the Forensic Science course, including labs featuring gun shot residue testing, urinalysis, and DNA electrophoresis . Supervised the after-school chemistry tutoring program for all high school

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
