Logic Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Saint Louis, MO

Tutoring has been a somewhat informal yet ever-present aspect of both my collegiate life and professional career. While focusing on pursuing my civil engineering degree at Purdue University, I realized the value that peers with non-engineering degrees saw in my unique gifts with mathematics. Although I never pursued formal teaching certifications, I have worked with several people, both recently and in the past, to realize their full potential to understand both basic as well as advanced level mathematics concepts.

I use a visual application oriented teaching approach, that helps students see and understand what they are expected to learn. I have been studying Mathematics in depth since high school. I have since earned a B.S. in applied mathematics from Southern Illinois University. I have been tutoring math since high school, and have developed very effective methods for doing such. I am very good at my work, and I tutor all age groups. I charge the most competitive rates in the area

I have been teaching since I started college. I taught in the tutoring center at SIUE as a freshman. Since then I have taught a wide variety of classes at Lewis and Clark Community College and St. Louis Community College. I also have had students that I have tutored for many years until they moved off to college. Even then I sometimes was called for tutoring when they were back home. I also have helped with middle and high school math contest teams I listen intently to what students ask to decipher their level of understanding. I wish for the students to truely understand and not merely mimic. Math is thinking. Too often I see people who at first are struggling with math treating it as a mimicing subject. Some repetitive practice is needed, but understanding prior to the repetition is better.

I have always had a knack for the sciences and left the Midwest to follow my love of Marine Biology. While in school, I revisted my interest in the arts (painting, piano, and animation). It was then I realized I was passionate about so many topics and didn't want to limit myself to one thing! I've worked with kids throughout my entire life, whether I was teaching swim lessons, piano lessons, or tutoring. I took Spanish for 4 years in High School use it every chance I get. If I had the time I would take on degree after degree! Speaking to children of all ages comes naturally to me. My parents both love being teachers and have been in the game for over 30 years a piece! I traveled to schools to give presentations on my marine mammal experiences to grades K-8. I currently work for the Education Department at the Saint Louis ZOO where we strive to keep learning a blast! I believe l

I have recently obtained B.S. in Biology with emphasis in Chemistry from University of Missouri St. Louis. I have proven in my academics to be diligent and conscientious. I am a hard-working, goal-driven individual with a passion for the field of biology, enjoying the experimentation process enormously. I thrive in laboratory environment and am dedicated to effective research. While continuing my education, I have been a very active and responsible member of the community, participating in a myriad of volunteer services, but now turn my serious attention to my field of expertise in the biological and chemical sciences. I love to focus on the inner city, the students that society and education has turned their backs on. I love to teach by reward, such as earning points for completing a project that results in a reward. I love to teach the old methods and new methods that has been and

Not everyone learns in the same way. I try to discern how the student I am tutoring learns best, whether it's by just doing examples, or visually by physically relating the material to something easier to understand. After I have found out how best to teach my student, I am able to move forward and help them to the best of my ability. In my tutoring experience, I have always been respectful and curteous to my students. I believe that students are much more likely to confident in their learning if they feel as if they are respected their teacher/tutor. I also make sure to be supportive even when the student is struggling and then compliment them when they make great strides. As a senior civil engineering student at Washington University, I have received an outstanding education, especially in math and science. I will graduate in May with a B.S. in Civil Engineering. In the fall, I

Tutored inner-city and disadvantaged students in elementary English and math for 1 year. TA’ed undergraduate finance class, options pricing, for 1 year. Co-lead two Bible studies groups for one year; one of which was composed of students from a primarily Caucasian student fellowship as well as students from an all-Asian fellowship. During my junior and senior year in college, I TA’ed a finance class called options pricing for two semesters. Options pricing was a difficult subject. I worked very hard to receive an A- for the course, which turned out to be my favor. I had insight to the intellectual hurdles other students had to overcome to master the material. So, teaching them came very naturally. In addition, I abandoned the lecture format for a very interactive teaching format. This allowed the students to ask many questions and allowed me to gage the level of comprehension from

While attending Southwestern Illinois College, I volunteered as a tutor, instructing college level Algebra, Geometry, and Calculus. Also gave instruction in Biology and Chemistry. While pursuing my degree in electrical engineering, I expanded my knowledge in Math and Science. I also gained insight from a student prospective. I enjoy helping others to succeed. I believe in taking a personal interest in students success; reviewing each quiz and test taken to see where strengths lie and where improvements needed to be made. I also believe that people have different means of learning, from reading and lecturing; to seeing and gaining hands on experience. I also believe that no student is beyond help; they simply have not yet found thier means of gaining and retaining the knowledge.

During my senior year at Kalamazoo College I tutored in the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT), as well as designing the curriculum for and delivering a free class in the same topic. I graduated as the top Philosophy student in my class after serving as an Honors Teaching Assistant in Philosophy of Law, and then continued on to undergo summer training with Teach For America. I currently teach algebra, study skills, and civics in a cross-categorical special education setting in an urban school district. I am also tutoring for the LSAT in my spare time. I believe that the most important element determining the degree to which a student will achieve is the level of expectations that are set for them. High, clear expectations with consistent feedback on progress is absolutely critical to making the most significant academic gains possible. Students should know exactly what they are expec

To me, the very ability to understand and visualize Mathematics, has more importance than the very art of solving problems at the budding stages. Certainly grades are awarded on the basis of artwork , but if the student has not understood the basic fundamental theory behind any problem, then not much credit can be given to slick solutions that most students commit to memory before every math test. I strive to lay more emphasis on background and source of a problem than just laying down the answers. I am very passionate about this subject and make sure every student (including mine) loves it as much as I do. I am currently a Doctoral student and a teacher at SLU, and and I strive to create the same academic environment that I had undergone in my previous years as a mathematics student. Competed my Masters in Pure Mathematics in 2007 , I have coached and tutored mostly college students

I focus on beginning with a student where they are at on a certain topic. I mold a lesson to integrate as much as possible with the student's pre-existing life interests. In nine years of teaching high school, my evaluators always compliment my use of fun and humor in keeping students engaged. I have been teaching and coaching athletics for nine years, mostly high school science, but also reading, SAT/ACT preparation, and other topics. I have also published two children's books and three young adult fiction books. My B.S. is in Biochemistry from the University of Missouri-Columbia.

I began my education career in Special Education working with students diagnosed with an emotional disturbance. After five years I went into administration as a principal of a private school that provided the same type of services for students with an emotionally disturbance. After working with in the same area for seven years I change the direction of my speciality and focused on all students needing support in the general education setting. I served as a special education coordinator for the Kirkwood School District's five elementary school. This included but not limited to supervising teachers, creating academic programing, modifying curriculum, and creating individualized educational programs for students. I believe every child has a right to an education and to be educated in an environment that is nurturing and conducive to their individual learning style. As a teacher it is

I am a natural at teaching since even my off duty activities are educational. For years, I was a library docent and volunteer and now I am a volunteer at the St. Louis Science Center. I have tutored one on one and at various middle schools and I taught at a high school program for delinquent students who were reentering the educational system. I taught any subject needed. I am currently enhancing my math knowledge for the purpose of improving my teaching skills and job opportunities. I can work alone or be a team player. I am flexible in my teaching style. I will use visual aids and the blackboard normally. I give workshops or quizzes to assess the progress of the student. I expose the student to educational technology that is used by industry and I teach traditional methods but if I find these fail I use other time proven teaching methods for mathematics like high speed math, etc. I hav

I believe that one of the most important aspects of a successful teaching relationship is understanding both the student's personal learning style and what motivates him or her. I care deeply about the success of the students I work with and am able to adapt my teaching techniques to meet each student's personal needs. I strive to not only give my students greater knowledge, but greater confidence as well. I do that with the hope that our sessions not only help them to develop in our areas of interest, but also help them to become more successful students overall. After graduating from Duke University with a BS in Economics and a Minor in Psychology, I moved to New York City to work in a large financial institution. During my two years there I volunteered as a mentor and tutor to a 7th/8th grader, a college counselor to a high school senior, and a career mentor to a middle aged woman who
