Trigonometry Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Pierrepont Manor, NY

I enjoy sharing knowledge with anyone who can benefit from my experience. I love mathematics, statistics and physics and I attempt to pass that enthusiasm to my students. I understand that there are many people who have trouble with math and science skills and becaus of that I try to explain technical concepts with easy to understand examples before submercing the student into computations that are difficult. I think that my best attribute as far as teaching goes is the ability to get the main ideas across to any student by giving each student examples that they can understand and feel empowered by their understanding. While working on my associates degree I tutored pre-calculus and statistics. I also worked briefly with catholic charities tutoring all subjects for high school students in need. I then completed my bachelors degree while tutoring part time at SUNY Oswego and independen

I try to relate to the children as best as I can and make the learning fun for them whenever possible. I am easy going, polite and helpful. I also talk to them about other things besides homework and studying, such as personal problems. My students trust me and this makes it easier for me to help them and to teach them. Most of my students were high school freshmen and sophomores. Currently, I am a systems engineering graduate student at Penn State University. I have earned a bachelor's degree in applied mathematics from SUNY Oswego with minors in applied statistics and philosophy. My last position was as an academic mentor and tutor for AmeriCorps. I have one year of tutoring experience at Hannibal High School in Hannibal, New York. I tutored students in subjects including mathematics, science and history.

After graduating from high school, I was unsure what exactly I wanted to do. I began working as a counselor/activities director for a summer recreational program in 2004 which allowed me to realize that working with kids is what I want to do. As I entered my first year of college, it became clear that math was my forte. After putting two and two together, I realized that teaching mathematics was what I wanted to pursue. I recently graduated from SUNY Cortland with a BS in Mathematics which has allowed me to gain a strong grasp on the theories and methods used in today’s curriculum. I also have been tutoring locally. I realize that math can be very boring to students, but contrary to popular belief it can also be, do I dare say it, fun. I believe that repetition plays an integral part in learning, but only if the material is relevant to the student. I really enjoy working with students no

As a college graduate, I have always wanted to excel in education. This feeling is why I became a Mathematics tutor at my university to help other students reach their goals. I have earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics. I have been a tutor in high school as well as at college and during my summer breaks. I love tutoring and helping children of any age. I believe that not all children learn the same way so I try to come up with different techniques that will help any student. I am caring and understanding and want students to see their full potential. When I see a student understand a problem, it makes me glad that I am helping them strive to be their best.

I really enjoy teaching and working with people of all ages. I believe everyone is able to grasp the concept of math and science when taught effectively and with patience. I am a very easy going and friendly person, and I have been told I explain things with enough detail to understand, but not too much to bog down the information. I am a firm believer in teaching through fun riddles and games, and always relating the problem back to the student's personal life, hobbies, etc. I honestly believe everyone is able to be great at math and science, and a great educator will make a world of difference in pursuing the sciences. As a recent graduate of Rochester Institute of Technology, I am excited to begin helping high school and college students with math and science, as well as technical and essay writing. I have earned a BS in Industrial and Systems Engineering, and a MS in Engineer

I am a strong believer in relational learning and that is why I support the concept of tutoring. One-on-one instructional guidance from someone who knows and respects you is a great motivation for learning to take place. I am a patient, sympathetic, and loving person, but I also like to push myself and others to accomplish the most that they are capable of achieving. I am naturally very encouraging and supportive and always willing to help someone in need. I believe that every child is unique and gifted in certain ways and that by spending time with them and encouraging them in their strengths they will find the challenge and support to succeed. Since receiving a Bachelor's in English and Writing, I have developed many diverse skills in addition to those I learned in school. While working as an editor for a publishing company, I was able to hone my ability to write and communicate c

I believe in the interactive teaching style which a teacher should adjust his/her teaching techniques according to students’ knowledge and their learning styles in order to enhance their understanding. I make my students feel comfortable so that I could learn who they are and develop my teaching style. Some students could learn a subject by, for example, repeating it while others remember it. The key of learning is to find their own styles and I hope I can help them find one. I encourage my students to have an open-mind of learning. Finding a fun way to teach or introducing them how useful the subject can be to them in the future could motivate students to have an eager to learn what they thought once to be difficult. I plan to graduate this June for my Ph.D. in Physics/Biophysics at Syracuse University. Since I have been a graduate student, I had an opportunity to be a teaching assistan

I have been a teaching assistance for the last 2 years at Syracuse University, pursuing a M.S. in Mathematics. I have privately tutored students in the subjects of business math, business calculus, statistics, and calculus. In addition to tutoring, I have had full responsibility of my own classes where I have taught the subjects of business math, probability and statistics, and calculus. Due to this experience, I have excellent communication skills, and can help students of all levels succeed in the study of mathematics. I firmly believe that in order to truly learn and understand a subject, a student must be doing the subject. I make both my lectures and private tutoring sessions very interactive and encourage student involvement. I enjoy when my students who are struggling grasp difficult concepts and understand how than can be applied in everyday life.

As a Syracuse University graduate, I studied at the Maxwell School and the Whitman School of management. Maxwell is recognized worldwide for its expertise in public policy and economics. I have taken 3 courses in statistics, 1 in calculus and 1 econometric course which is statistics and calculus combined. Also, because I was enrolled in 2 separate programs I have taken 15 credits of natural science and 12 credits of english. I feel well polished in many areas of academia and I work well with students, considering there are 8 teachers in my family and I've been around the teaching environment for quite some time. I'm very laid back and patient when it comes to teaching. I can empathize with students who have difficulty in a subject because at one point in my educational career I had trouble and needed help. I do believe that almost every one is capable of learning and progressing, given

I love teaching students specially the youth. I like to share with them my knowledge because I believe that knowledge is power and that education is important in order to achieve success in the future.I believe that setting high expectations for student achievements, optimizing time on task, using guided practice and giving effective directions for activities are important in order to achieve my goal as a teacher. With my sixteen years of teaching experience and the ability to work under pressure, I can say that I have a great rapport with students and the ability to modify instruction in order to meet their needs as well as the ability to diffuse difficult situations. I enjoy tutoring students and helping them build confidence in their ability to achieve academic success. During the last six years, I have tutored students in English, Science and Mathematics.

As I was once a child with a speech impediment, I received many services such as reading and writing and speech therapy throughout my elementary years. I feel it is important to help children and students receive the services they need to succeed as soon as possible. I believe students learn best with hands on experiences and in multiple modalities. I will adjust my teaching style to the learning style of the student. Some students are visual learning and some are auditory learners. Whichever style they may be, I will make sure to provide examples and activities that fit their needs. I have chosen a field that helps children and students because I feel it is important that students receive education from educators that care about their success and that want to make a difference in a child's life. After graduating from Ithaca College cum laude, I completed my B.S. in Speech Language Patho

I love teaching students and helping out where needed. I answer all questions with the best of my knowlege and if I do not know the answer, I will take the time to look one up. I like to help people learn and grow, everyone has a different way of learning. I like helping people in all different kind of ways so they can learn. I have different strategies to help people learn, some people are hands on, while others are visual learners. I was a undergraduate teachers assistant my junior to senior year of college. I helped in the pre-lab disscusion, and helped setting up the lab. I graded papers and administered quizzes. I monitered the students during their lab session and helped when I was needed. I answered questions and helped with any concerns they had in the lab.

My previous experiences provide a unique benefit in the classroom. I do not only have the science knowledge but I bring real world practicality of the material being taught. Students will relate with the realism of how science affects their daily life. During my student teaching placements I have made it my mission to not only teach the curriculum but to help establish study skills that will help students in all areas of their education. I also acknowledge that as a teacher my own educational journey is continuing. I thrive on researching the best strategies to present information to appeal to all learners. I bring a great deal of enthusiasm into the classroom and my passion for science is contagious. I have earned my bachelors degree in Biotechnology. I will be finishing my masters in education May 16, 2010. I am pending a teaching certification in Chemistry and Biology which s

I enjoy teaching/tutoring high school students and adults in need of support to prepare for college. I am an excellent educator and am able to adopt my teaching style based on the need of the student. If a student needs a hands on or a visual approach then I am able to adjust. I have been a teacher for the past 20 years and have learned the best quality is compassion. As part of that compassion, a teacher must listen to each student to determine need and develop an approach of instruction according to the need. Typically I like to give a multiple intelligence survey that helps me figure out how each student thinks. This will help me to use the best teaching techniques to allow the student the greatest chance of success. I have strong High School Math knowledge and have taught Math/Science for the past seven years. As a resource room instructor I had to be well versed in all sciences and
