As a recent graduate of Syracuse University (December 2009) with a BS in Mechanical Engineering, I am very familiar with the concepts taught in most Mathematics and Physics courses. I was a peer tutor for two years at Syracuse tutoring in the following subjects: Calculus I, II, and III, Probability, Statistics, Differential Equations, Physics I and II, Thermodynamics, and Fluid Mechanics. This has enabled me to hone my tutoring style to a point where it is concise yet readily understandable (something that is especially easy since I was very recently in the same position many of the students are right now). As a recent student, I am very familiar with what it feels like to be in the position a lot of the students are in right now. At the same time, I understand the best method about how to approach understanding the material in the easiest manner possible. The key is patience and practic

Generally in my experience I have a higher level of understanding of basic principles than my peers. This puts me in a position of frequently helping others understand subtleties of the material. There are many different ways of understanding any one concept, it is just a matter of finding one that relates to the particular student's experience or thought process. I simply try to find a way for the student to understand the material, and clarify any of the questions they may have. I graduated from the University of Vermont with a BS in Physics. I am currently a graduate student at SUNY Albany in the Physics Ph.D program. I have officially been a physics lab TA for one year, however before that I have helped many friends and acquaintances in physics and general math. I received a 770/800 on the GRE math test, and so far after 1 year of graduate study I have a 4.0 and have pa

A graduate of a top 20 university (University of Notre Dame), I have taken significant coursework in several relevant areas, particularly in mathematics. I have taken additional coursework at the graduate level at Boston College in the area of statistics. Besides my educational background, I have nearly 4 years of experience as an educator, ranging from serving as a tutor for my fellow students at Notre Dame in Calculus to acting as a Teaching Assistant and tutor for undergraduates at Boston College in statistics. Most recently, I tutored high school students in mathematics, helping them to significantly improve their grades. One of my students, for example, improved his score by over 60 percentiles!

I am very patient and have a gift for breaking concepts and instructions down into smaller manageable steps. My technique is to lead the student to discover the answer rather than "telling" it to them. To help the learner understand and remember, I'll use examples in the form of stories, diagrams or demonstrations. I have 15 years of experience as an educational program coordinator and have about 18 years of teaching experience with preschoolers, elementary students, teens, college students and adult learners. My expertise includes study habits, English/composition, note taking skills and psychology.

My approach to teaching/tutoring is simple. 1) Make an assessment of the student’s needs. This is a critical part of the methodology. The assessment of needs is based upon the student’s own statement of his abilities as well as empirical evidence of his performance and capabilities. 2) Develop a plan and design goals to meet those needs. Explain to the student the plan and the goals of how we are going to meet his/her needs. 3) Assess performance and adjust the plan and goals as needed. 4) Throughout the process, keep in mind that both the tutor and the student should have an enjoyable and rewarding experience. I obtained a B.S. in engineering from Webb Institute in 1968, entered the U.S. Coast Guard and thereafter obtained a JD in Law from SUNY, Buffalo. I tutored underclassmen in calculus while at Webb and taught seventh and eighth grade math and science in a small

My teaching style is centered around full-filling the needs of student, especially in a tutor setting. Being focused and showing a genuine care and consideration for the student shows them that you not only respect them but want them to be successful. Positive re-inforcement is a main focus of mine and it has proven successful in the previous students I have worked one-on-one with. Also coming prepared, knowing what the student has difficulties with and what the student can catch onto easily is very important in planning what specific areas need to be addressed. As an extremely motivated female, I am seeking employment through tutoring because I feel I have gained a great plethora of skills necessary to be successful in a variety of career fields, especially related to the job oppertunity offered through your company. I developed skills of patience, understanding, and responsibility.

I believe in challenging a student to do more than they were aware they could do - I have consistently found that individuals give themselves less credit than they deserve. I believe in making a lesson relevant to a student - keep it abstract and it will remain difficult, but bring it home and they will own it. I am excellent at distilling the basic lessons within a topic into take-home messages that give the student more than merely a list to memorize; they get actual working knowledge that will not erode so quickly from memory. I can communicate at many different levels, and am sincere about sharing my love of learning. I believe in the scientific method as a key to intellectual and technological progress, and in the inherent robustness of truth. But the foundation of my philosophy is that each individual, as well as his or her community, is improved through learning. Each individual i

I have successfully tutored several students who have attended ivy league and top tier schools, including Massachusetts Institute of Technology and University of Pennsylvania. I believe my experience as a professional writer working for nationally circulated magazines enhances my teaching skills. My first biography will be published this summer by ABC-Clio/Greenwood Press. My teaching philosophy revolves around the notion that students need respect, encouragement, and guidance to succeed in all of their academic endeavors.

As an undergraduate at Rhode Island College, I studied Physics and Mathematics. During this time, I was on the Dean's List for all 8 semesters, and earned the departmental award in Physics. When I was not working on my studies, I tutored both college students in the Physical Sciences Department, and high school students for the Upward Bound Program, which seeks to prepare inner-city high school students for their first year of college. I was lucky enough to have a number of great teachers throughout my schooling, and this has helped me realize what a difference these extraordinary educators can make. In taking courses with them, I have found that the most important things are to be patient and respectful. I realize that not every student has the same learning style, and in my tutoring experience I have been able to adapt and achieve success for all of my students.

I believe in the "practice makes perfect" approach, especially when it comes to math, science, and language study. That said, I also believe that practice can be interesting, fun, encouraging and reinforcing. I would hope to help a student figure out how to learn and approach new challenges with confidence and enthusiasm. Sometimes what a child needs most is to simply understand that he or she is capable of achieving. Instilling self-affirmation is an extremely important part of teaching, and that would be my goal in working with your child. I began teaching as a college sophomore at MIT. For 9 years, I taught primarily Multivariable Calculus, but also single-variable Calculus, Linear Algebra, and several writing courses. Since graduating, I have been involved in various volunteer tutoring efforts. My minors are in Math, German, and Writing. I happen to be a black female, the first to

I am passionate about teaching maths and physics as I am confidant in teaching them and I have enthusiasm and drive in solving problems from my past experience. I have 2 years of tutoring experience in SUNY Albany EOP where I helped the students who faced challenges in solving maths and physics problems. It was really exciting and fun in tutoring the undergrads at UAlbany. As a maths teacher I am very flexible to students needs. I care about each student's learning ability and the challenges they face. Definitely I can make a difference in students understanding the subject as I love to tutor. I will try to understand where the student is actually facing the challenge. And finally as fundamentals are key to success I would focus on them repeatedly.
