My teaching style is very flexible depending on specific students need. Tutoring students for the past six years in a variety of levels and disciplines. I have a bachelors degree from the University of Rochester (2005). Experienced in working with kids who have ADD/ADHD. I can cater to specific needs and learning styles and am able to help with homework, studying, test preparation, etc. In the past I have helped students go from failing to honor roll and have obtained most of my clients through referrals.

I understand that many students seeking tutors have had years of frustration in math classes. Often, I find that they do not understand the concepts. They are confined to memorization and rote. Students who I teach will learn to appreciate what they are learning. I have had teaching responsibilities since I began graduate school. At SUNY at Buffalo, I was an assistant for courses in calculus of a single variable, multivariable calculus, and linear algebra; at SUNY at Brockport, I was the instructor of a course in basic algebra. Currently, I am a graduate student and adjunct instructor at Binghamton University. I have taught calculus of a single variable - both differential calculus and integral calculus, linear algebra, and a course for liberal arts majors. I have also tutored students in probability and number theory. Throughout these experiences, I have gained an appreciation

I enjoy assisting students in achieving their academic goals. I believe that everyone has different strengths, but that a degree of proficiency can be achieved by anyone in any subject, provided they are taught using their strengths. I consider proficiency to include recollection and inference. I find that students learn best when they hold a genuine desire for learning and retain information better when they discover it firsthand. Thus, my job is but to facilitate their discovery of the material. I am there to provide a diversity of instances when a concept does or doesn’t apply, to guide their learning. This style of teaching aids in the retention of the material and provides the student with a greater sense of accomplishment. As a past student of a prestigious liberal arts school, I am certainly skilled in my field. I have earned a bachelor’s degree in Physics and Mathematics a

I have recently experienced the opportunity of graduating from my dream college this past summer at Yankee Stadium with my fellow NYU friends. I started working with children early in my college career as a soccer camp coach during my summers at University of Rochester. I have acquired great customer service through working with Wegmans for about two years as well. Starting my junior year in college I was given the chance to become involved with tutoring at a high school in Brooklyn, NY. I was mostly working with students after school and helping them work on their homework that dealt with areas such as Math, Science, and English. While working with children in the high school in Brooklyn I have come up with a particular way for a student to become engaged in his work and to perform well. When a student has a question about a certain problem I usually perform the solution while he or she

My philosophy of teaching is based on three principles: Helping students learn, love of my subject matter, and love of life long learning. In graduate school, I was fortunate to have a teaching assistantship in the undergraduate chemistry laboratories. During and after those hectic three hour labs I discovered the joy of seeing the veil of confusion lifted from my undergraduates’ faces. I’ve been gifted with the patience and creativity to discern where the confusion originates and to explain topics in many ways so that any student, who wanted to learn, could learn from me. I saw that I too, would continue to learn from teaching the students—it came full circle. I leveraged my flexibility, creativity, and training to establish a reputation as a productive research professional in a Rochester, NY industry. I am the co-author of 22 US Patents, the recipient of numerous awards for my

I am a hands-on learner and believe that the best way to teach is to have the students participate. Students should be comfortable in their learning environment, and as a teacher, it is important to adapt your teaching methods to fit the students strengths. I believe that passion drives the learning process; when a student is interested in the subject at hand, they are much more likely to gain the most from the experience. I have a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering, minor in Environmental Engineering, and am currently enrolled in graduate school to pursue a M.S. in Sustainable Engineering. I have extensive research experience in these fields, and am most interested in improving the standard of living of those in need. I have worked on several projects, in the U.S. and abroad, incorporating sustainable energy and improving health conditions. Currently I am on the Technology Innovation Develo

Throughout my academic career, I have been motivated to achieve at a high level, regardless of the discipline I was studying. This motivation has allowed me to obtain two bachelor degrees, a BS in Business Administration and a BA in Psychology. My specialization in two distinct areas has allowed me to adapt to a variety of research and writing methods. Starting at an early age, I was able to gain experience teaching skills to others as a member of the Boy Scouts of America and eventually achieved the rank of Eagle Scout. I have also mentored adolescents in a variety of areas while working as a youth counselor. I have always aspired to adapt my teaching techniques to each student on an individual basis. I have been successful in doing so by utilizing a vast array of methodologies to instruct and provide examples which are relevant to each unique student. I believe there is no greate

I love working with people and teaching them about the things that I am passionate about. I am very patient and throughout and I have learned a lot of valuable techniques such as asking the right questions to confirm that the student has learned the lesson as well as planning out what the important points are that I need to cover. I also try to illustrate points using a variety of learning styles that over time I can customize to individual students. Between my studies at Roberts Wesleyan College in the liberal arts field, where I earned a bachelors degree, and my studies in math and computational science I have an exceptionally broad knowledge base. My work experience further illustrates this having worked briefly as an English teacher in Prague as well as the various sales and customer service jobs I have had including Verizon Wireless, Wegmans, and Radio Shack.

I finished my degree by going to summer and night school; I graduated in 1979. I was the first in my family to go to college and I am very proud of that. I have become a much better writer and am much more aware of grammar through writing reports, technical papers and SOPs. For a couple of years I volunteered for Literacy Volunteers because of my love of reading. I like working with children. They are so appreciative and excited when they learn and figure out a new word or anything. I am easy going and very supportive. GIven a good learning atmosphere, good support, encouragement and enthusiasm and children can learn. Everyone learns in different ways; in a one-on-one situation that can be discovered and lessons designed to best help the child.

While earning my bachelors degree in chemistry at Ashland University, I tutored several students who were taking general or organic chemistry. I also taught polymer science labs in graduate school to fellow research assistants during my first year of study. I taught chemistry labs and classes for one summer to high school students in an Upward Bound program. I have the ability to tutor mathematics also and studied math throughout my undergraduate college experience. I enjoy tutoring high school and college students. It is great to see a student who is struggling in school begin to excel in their classes and begin to enjoy science and math. I would like to help to others to understand the scientific field using my knowledge and experience to spark their interest. My hope is that my students would be encouraged to further their education in science or to apply the skills they learn t

Firstly, I usually made a plan according to the total tutoring time. Then, I taught the kids using standard class books and assigned them some homework after class. And when necessary, gave exams to test whether they have made progress. I have just obtained my master's degree in Materials Science from University of Rochester, NY, and I got my bachelor's degree in Applied Physics in Shandong University at Weihai, China. I can tutor physics, math, chemistry, and Chinese for high/middle/elementary school students. And I have two tutoring experience. 2006 summer, tutor a girl with elementary math. 2007 summer, tutor a group of middle school and high school students physics and math.

I have 20 years of Finance, Information Systems and Engineering experience. As a person that put himself through college, both undergrad and grad school and then taught at a local Community College, I bring a unique perspective on the value that education can bring to a person's life. From an industry perspective, I have both developed and trained employees and received training prepared by other employees. I prefer a one on one or a classroom style envionment. One on one training allows me to focus on the student and understand the areas that he or she may be having difficulty with which allows me to tailor my curriculum to the student's needs. I believe in hands on work by the student such that he or she can demonstrate back to me that the concepts have been understood.
