More About This Tutor...

My teaching experience spans college freshmen physics to middle school math. I converted to education after 20 years as a materials engineer in a number of industrial manufacturing companies. I have completed a state certified certificate program and did my student teaching in physics at a local high school. I am most experienced with secondary students grades 9-12 but have recently tutored college math, physics and chemistry students. I have BS and MS degrees in engineering.
I have taught in both public schools and a school for multiple handicapped children. I am also experienced with high achieving physics students. I believe in learning through experience, and finding a venue that the learner understands to set the experience. I also believe in test taking , essentialist philosophy, because test taking to demonstrate comprehension is necessary to communicate understanding ... read more

My tutoring experience consists of friends over the years, however it has always been something I was very good at. I decided to make a career change after working at Fidelity Investments for five years now to something I have a passion for, teaching children. I passed the MTEL exams and am working towards my license. I'm very excited to begin this journey and would be extremely appreciative for an opportunity to share my knowledge and experience. I believe my MBA in Business, BA in Management, minor in Leadership as well as my HR Cert has provided me with the level of education needed to tutor. Every subject I can tutor: Economics, Finance, Math and English, I received honors in College for as well as completed MBA coursework in the subjects.
I am a very well organized person who can multitask and prioritize extremely well, however to me this important but yet secondary aspec ... read more

As a Worcester Polytechnic Institute underclassman, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I have earned two bachelor degrees, BS in Mathematics and BS in Physics, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math and science. In addition, I have experience researching, and the results of my senior thesis will be published in ZAMM (Applied Mathematics and Mechanics), a distinguished German Journal. During the last five years I have tutored students in various areas of applied mathematics and physics, as well as the other physical sciences.
I enjoy teaching and working with HS or College level students. I believe everyone can learn mathematics and physics, however, everyone learns differently, and it is important to cater to individual students needs. I am proficient with computational mathematics programs such as Maple and ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Students have different learning styles, so I try to adapt my tutoring style to best suit the needs of the student. I have a unique ability to explain complicated concepts on a simple level. I try to make sure that the student really understands the concepts, rather than just teaching him or her to mechanically do the work. When working on problems, I generally use an interactive approach, in which I ask the student questions designed to direct his or her thinking in the right direction. In this way, the student is deeply involved and is encouraged to think and to use what he or she does know to figure out what is needed. This also gives the student confidence in his or her own ability.
As a graduate of two of the finest engineering colleges in the country, I have received an excellent education, earning a BS in Electrical Engineering from Cooper Union and an MS in Electrical E ... read more

I have a BA in Microbiology and an MA in Zoology. I have 7-8 years experience teaching biology, ecology, microbiology and environmental science at the college level. In addition I have many years experience in software engineering, technical writing, software quality assurance, and technical editing.
In the classroom I rely on traditional lecture, supplemented by Powerpoint presentations, animations, and lists and diagrams on the white board. I usually assign a research paper. In the last few semesters I've implemented through Blackboard some online testing, as well as tutorial "homework" quizzes, where the students get feedback directing them to coverage of particular sections of the text. I always try to make students aware of how the detailed, technical concepts of the moment fit into the "big picture," making references both to material previously covered and to material y ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I graduate May 2009 from Simmons College with a BS in Biochemistry. My courses taken during my undergraduate career were heavily focused in the sciences. I’ve taken upper level chemistry, physics, biology, and math courses. I tutored a student in zoology for a brief period of time. I was also a teaching assistant for Organic Chemistry I and II labs. I often met with students outside of lab to help clarify information and help answer questions on particular concepts and problems. I am furthering my own education by attending the University of Glasgow in the fall. There I will be studying veterinary medicine, which again is heavily focused in the sciences.
I believe knowledge and success go hand-in-hand. That’s one of the main reasons I enjoy teaching and tutoring students of all ages. I’m grateful for the people in my life that have taken the time to teach and show me vario ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

During my studies at UMass Amherst, I have had extensive coursework in Physics, gaining a solid grounding in mathematics in the process. For the past two years I have worked at the Learning Resource Center at UMass, as both a tutor and supplemental instructor for Physics classes. As a tutor I aided students one-on-one with courses ranging from all areas of Physics to Math. As a supplemental instructor for Physics, I conducted classes alongside the students' lectures, giving students an opportunity for extra practice with the material and to have difficult topics presented from a different angle.
I have always enjoyed helping students better understand and even enjoy the classes they may be having trouble with. I believe that even with daunting subjects like Physics and Math, any student can learn if they just discover how to relate to the course and make it more familiar. Helping t ... read more

I have been a physics and mathematics tutor for my fellow students at the University of Waterloo, in Waterloo, Ontario. Also, I served as a physics T.A. at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute before I transferred to Waterloo. Finally, I was a substitute teacher for two years at Belmont Middle School and Belmont High School, in Belmont, New Hampshire.
My teaching style is simple but effective. With mathematics and physics, the student retains an idea, with the added benefit of a solid intuition if he or she is fortunate enough to work through a problem using his or her's own insights. Guiding the student with the systematic offering of penetrating questions seems to be one of the most powerful methods to aid in the understanding of mathematical and physical phenomena.

A Little Bit About Me...

I currently teach high school science. In the past four years I have taught classes such as physical science (an introductory course to physics and chemistry), biology and anatomy & physiology. I currently have a BS in Animal Science and a Master's of Art and Teaching in General Science. I also hold certification to teach Biology in the state of New Hampshire.
I enjoy teaching high schoolers for a variety of reasons. Mostly because of how honest I can be with them. I enjoy teaching hands-on, real life application of the sciences in a way that students can understand the concept as well as the usefulness to them out in the real world. My goal is not to be the student's friend or even their favorite teacher, but to be fair and prepare them for what life might throw at them outside of the classroom. I want them to have the tools and discipline to succeed in the real world.

I like to discover what my students already know about the topic and to expose any misconceptions. Brainstorming activities work well for me. I like to help define the topic in common terms, not the classic dictionary method. I use presentation, discussion, videos and hands on activities. Most of what I do is inquiry based.
I have a passion for teaching but waited until I gained some "real world" experience. I found that this has helped me relate to my students since I am able to make meaningful connections to their learning.

I like to get to know my student. Being a little older, I find it easier to do this. This getting to know the student, includes understanding their needs and what they know. Once I get to know the student, learning can progress. I am good at summarizing the information they need. This summery is short, specific, and most important, clear. Its explaining material clearly and at the rate the student can understand, that makes a good tutor. The students are happy to learn, and this good feeling make learning even better.
I have been tutoring for many years. I started at Sylvan Learning Centers, where I was there for two and one half years. I am proud to say I was successful in that I helped many students and that I was able to do this over a wide range of student needs. Some of this included teaching the SAT preparation course, both the English and math sides. I have also had studen ... read more

My teaching style is to review the fundamentals. If I find deficiencies, I address these first. I then introduce the subject core using applications that the student can relate to. I get students to participate in solving problems by working through the steps in turn. I keep track of student preparation for accreditation by giving home work assignments. I keep notes on lessons and student progress. While offering words of encouragement, I keep the student informed about the progress and indicate that there is still time for excellence.
As an Engineering major I tutored students in Math for 2 years to pay for my education. The subjects that I have taught include Calculus, Trigonometry, Algebra, Geometry and Arithmetic, grades 8 through 12. I am familiar with GED requirements. At the University level I have taught undergraduates at George Washington University in Basic Circuits Theor ... read more

I believe the best way for someone to learn something is through application and repetition. As both a tutor and youth lacrosse coach I have had success by teaching my students how to approach problems rather than simply giving them answers. I am extremely patient and am very willing to take alternative approaches in helping a student learn.
During my undergraduate career at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, I obtained a wealth of knowledge in the fields of math and science. I did this by striving for excellence in the classroom and participating in cutting edge research with professors in the Entomology and Organic Chemistry departments. My extensive knowledge of the subjects I’ve studied has allowed me to assist my friends in understanding complex and difficult problems. This past year I privately tutored classmates in both Statistics and Organic Chemistry.
