Physics is one of my top subjects!

Individualized attention to the whole student's needs brings the best success.
Dr. Griffith Garland studied engineering physics as an undergraduate at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, pioneering the program by being a member of the first class to graduate with that degree. She was twice a member of Who's Who Among American College and University Students and graduated summa cum laude. She put herself through college by tutoring students, working as a teaching assistant, and becoming the training manager at the University's computer lab. She went on to study geochemistry at Washington University in St. Louis, where she researched hydrothermal systems on Mars and their implications for life. While earning her Ph.D. at Washington University, she realized that some professors had difficulty conveying material to their students. She decided to be different and completed a Master ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have earned my graduate certificate in Accounting and a bachelors in Business. I have always loved teaching. While attending high school, I helped assist with adult education classes at night. This allowed me to help others understand how to solve mathmatical problems by using other methods. I also worked as a substitute teacher for a few years working with K - 8th grade students. Never stopping with teaching others to understand, I currently work with younger and older adults teaching the basics on business planning.
I am a very patient but straight foreward individual who love expressing ideas with various examples. I am hands on and a visual learner. Therefore, I make sure along with telling or giving directions each person will also get the picture with it. Each person is different with their learning abilities and I strive to help them understand through various learn ... read more

As a recent graduate of Clemson University, I am very familiar with school and the tools necessary to learn and excel. I graduated with a B.S. in Biological Sciences. This degree has given me extensive knowledge of chemistry, physics, and biology. I also have extensive knowledge of writing research papers, lab reports, and essays. As a tutor, I will be able to provide the knowledge and skills necessary to excel academically.
I love children of all ages. I believe that every child can learn and excel in school. Unfortunatley, all children learn differently and schools do not adapt well. I will adapt to the learning techniques that best fit the student. My only goal is to meet the goals the students have and to teach them as much as I possibly can.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love working with children. I especially love teaching them about science and mathematics because I find these subjects so interesting. There are few things more rewarding then seeing it all "click." I like to use diagrams and real life situations to explain subjects. Breaking things down into laymen's terms and reducing intimidation by putting things simply helps most students to grasp difficult topics. I'm a pretty good artist and like drawing diagrams. I also have acquired numerous study aides during my years in college. Most of all, I feel it is important to teach kids HOW to study and not just WHAT to study.
As a recent CofC graduate attaining my Bachelors of Science degree in Biology, I have a vast knowledge of Biology and Chemistry courses. I also attained minors in Chemistry and Psychology. In high school I completed Advanced Placement (AP) courses in Biology, Eng ... read more

For 1:1 tutoring my teaching style will vary depending on the individual's needs and the topic covered. I try to work at the student’s learning pace in an effort to allow the student time to comprehend and retain what is covered within the session. I am not interested in helping others learn what I know (and love) to find out later that I was "too fast" for them to use the information after the session. Covering any topic outside their natural pace is a complete waste of everyone's time.
I graduated with a 4-year degree in Mech. Eng. in 1997. I was very successful for the next 12 years, in various positions. In 2009, I changed to the IT field. As an engineer and thereafter, I mentored many friends, colleagues, and friends of friends with computers. I am familiar with MS Windows, but I plan to learn about MAC PCs soon. I know I can help any user find a better way to operate ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Throughout my undergraduate experience, I worked with many of my fellow students to help them better understand chemistry concepts. I have gained experience in all of the major fields of chemistry including organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry and physical chemistry. I have even completed inorganic/physical chemistry research which I presented to other scientists. I currently work as a chemist, which keeps my skills sharp.
I believe I have a great teaching style which enables me to relate concepts in a way that any new student to chemistry can understand. I love using visual aids to help get new ideas across, since I myself is a visual learner. I also like to get the student involved so that I know they are grasping the concepts and not just the answers.

More About This Tutor...

As an educator, I strive to improve the student's study habits, test taking skills and overall understanding of the subject. I am patient and encourage questions from the student. Also, I believe that "hands on" practice is the best way to really learn a subject. I like to break things down into smaller parts and let the student practice and grasp each concept instead of just showing them how to do it. Repetition is important to the learning process, so I frequently use practice problems to reinforce the daily lesson. I also like to identify the source of the problem and fix it even if I have to go back a few levels from what the student is currently learning. Although my natural style of teaching is patient and persistent, I am capable of adapting to many different styles to ensure that the student learns.

More About This Tutor...

Throughout my college career I have Tutored other students, usually adults, but even some younger students. My tutoring experience is mostly based on college physics, algebra, trigonometry, and calculus. Also, I have a good understanding of higher level mathematics involving differential equations and complex analysis. When helping others with mathematics, I have developed many good friendships and even learned many good teaching techniques.
When I am tutoring, my main focus is to explain the math and science in a way that is easier to understand, mostly by using visuals. I try to get a good understand of the knowledge of math that the students already possesses and what they need to improve. I also try to include many example problems and show how the technique is applied. Finally, the student will be asked to work some problems to better understand the application. Most of ... read more
