I have an extensive background in math and science. I took AP Calculus in high school, and physics,statistics and calculus in college. I have also taught middle school science,K-12 art,and biology, chemistry and algebra to high school students, and subbed for geometry, algebra and algebra II, as well as numerous other subjects. My tutoring experience began back in university, where I tutored several fellow students in English, writing and math. For several years I tutored a number of students in different subjects from English to pre-calculus.
I have six children of my own and know that every child learns differently, even when they come from the same family. I believe the majority of children can master the material they are presented in school, but it is a matter of time. Many children take a little more time to understand the concepts and master the skills needed to move o ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Children have an inate desire to learn: My task is to "train them up in the way they should go, so that when they are old, they will not not depart from it." Having three children of my own, ages 16, 12, and 8, I have always had an active part in teaching them. They have taught me patience, love, and perseverance to the task at hand. Teaching is my gift! Inspiring my students to learn is my passion. Adapting my teaching to their learning style has always proven to be an effective technique.
Having taught and tutored middle school to community college level students for more than seven years, I work to inspire them to be active learners. My BA in Mathematics and additional graduate studies in Mathematics Education serve to provide a rich understanding of this subject. Also, my seminary years afforded me ample opportunities through research papers, book reviews, journal entries, and ... read more

As most people know, there are a variety of learning styles, and each student is a unique person with his or her own way of learning and being motivated to succeed. As a teacher, I always strive to know each student as an individual and discover how best to teach that student. I have had a wide variety of teaching experiences in many different subjects and settings and with students from Pre-K to 12th grade. I am flexible enough to adjust my teaching style to meet the unique needs and abilities of the students with whom I am working. Most of my students would say that I have a terrific ability to take a difficult concept and teach it in a way that makes sense to them.
I graduated summa cum laude from the State University of NY College at Cortland with a BA in Secondary English Education in 1989. Following that, I held a variety of positions in education including teaching in pre-s ... read more

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE River City High School, Sacramento CA Algebra teacher 08/08/2005-12/18/2005 Teacher Assistant Math department UCDavis 09/30/2003 – 08/05/2005 TA for classes Calculus 16A, 16B, 16C and 21A, 21B, 21C (groups and individual consultations)
About my role as a teacher, I think that the main principle should be “teaching for understanding”. A teacher creates learning opportunities that engage students in thinking about important mathematical concepts. Facts and skills support such learning but are not the ultimate goal. A teacher not only draws on past knowledge of mathematics but continuously builds on and refines that knowledge during meaningful interactions with students and colleagues. Thus, her or his practice as a teacher is constantly evolving

A Little Bit About Me...

As a graduate from UNC with a degree in English, I have gained an in-depth understanding of the English language. Through this rigorous program, I was consistently expected to provide strongly written and grammatically accurate essays that proved I had achieved an above-average analytical understanding of many forms of literature. My verbal and written communication skills were honed while serving in editorial and leadership positions at the university. I have invested time in helping others prepare essays that seek to analyze and investigate all types of prose from poetry to academic journals. I am currently a Preschool teacher and will begin a graduate program in Elementary Education this summer.
My teaching style is founded on being patient and intentional towards every learning student. I am very intentional about making sure that students feel comfortable expressing how they d ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My teaching technique strictly focuses on the task at hand mainly for proper concentration. I value and encourage student questions because it demonstrates my knowledge and expertise about the material being taught. I do not tolerate immature and irresponsible behavior from a student because it hinders a student's progress when he/she is unwilling to listen or seriously apply my teaching towards the objectives he/she want to accomplish. I take into consideration a student's level of understanding for the material being taught and teach him/her accordingly. I believe that because of my experience with various types of mathematical content, I am confident students will reap the most advantageous benefits of my teaching!
Throughout my academic years, in the public school system and higher education, I excelled in mathematics. As a senior at Harding University High School in Charlotte, ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Earning a degree in Communications accelerated my skills in writing through Journalism, research papers and Rhetorical studies. Additionally, writing is something I enjoy and practice on a daily basis. It has been a number of years since I have tutored a child however, I would like to incorporate my vocational experience as well as my collegiate studies into my teaching practices.
I would love the opportunity to teach grade school children. It was during my formidable years that I can recall a young lady who impacted my education in a very significant way. Additionally, I also have very fond memories of several children who I mentored through tutoring. My innate enthusiastic nature has facilitated a strong desire with the children to participate in the learning process in many unique ways. I gain tremendous joy and satisfaction through observing this process.

A Little Bit About Me...

I really enjoy seeing people learn new things. It has been my experience that when someone struggles to learn a new subject, the best method is to relate the subject in question to something more familiar. Patience and persistence are two very powerful tools. I believe in tutoring because it forces active participation. Once a pupil feels they can participate without fear, they can and will learn more effectively.
I am a graduate of Hamilton College, one of the top liberal arts institutions in the United States. I have a bachelor degree in history with a focus on American colonial and British imperial history which has honed both my critical reading and writing skills. In addition, I am 18 credits shy of completing graduate degrees in both business administration and sports administration. In the past I have worked with children as both a sports coach, and as an instructor fo ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Having earned a bachelor's degree in Theology and Apologetics with superior academic achievement,I have challenged myself academically, and developed excellent writing and argumentative skills. I have written extensive research papers, and successfully defeated many opponents in classroom debate. I served as a tutor for Homeland Park Elementary for one year during my college career.
There have been numerous studies showing that different types of learning exist, and it is my belief that each individual student needs to be taught through adaptive teaching methodologies. I believe that everyone is unique, and each student needs to develop their own style of learning. It is the job of the educator to discover those different styles and implement a teaching method that is most advantageous to the student.
