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 use a visual application oriented teaching approach, that helps students see and understand what they are expected to learn.

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.

My experience, specifically within the past two years, has been extensive. During this time spent at Webster University I was hired by the Student Literacy Corps, a non-profit organization funded by the university for the purpose of educating students in the St. Louis Public School District in English and writing. In addition to experience in the classroom in developing and implementing lesson plans and developing interpersonal skills with children of many ages, I also studied subjects such as calculus, astrophysics, South African history, and music theory. My experience in school has made me a well-rounded academic, and my experience outside of school has made me a well-rounded educator. I have confidence that I possess the tools necessary to help a child excel in any subject they choose to study. My goal is to help children in any context that I can. Although I have my sights set on be

I recently graduated from Missouri State University with a Bachelor's of Science in Education degree. My subject area is high school mathematics. I have completed two practicums along with a semester of student teaching, all three in a high school math classroom. Along with my practicum experiences, where tutoring students is one of the major duties, I have experience tutoring college level students in their mathematics classes. I believe that all students have a different learning ability and learning style. I am patient and caring about my students, and I find the best way to teach each student so that they will succeed and perform to their highest potential. I believe that student-centered learning is a great way for students to understand material. This teaching approach allows the students to investigate topics and create conjectures about material. Student-centered learning gives s

I like teaching students by explaining the material in a way I think is easiest to understand. I always emphasize how the material relates to what students already knows and how they can use what they know to solve problems. Often students cannot see how what they are learning can ever be useful in real life situations so I also try to give examples of when they might use what we are covering. Most importantly I am still a student myself I find I always learn better with examples so I always try to work through plenty of examples. I am currently a graduate student at the University of Missouri. I am working on dual masters in economics and statistics and just finished year one of two. I have been a teaching assistant for macroeconomics the past 3 semesters and was head teaching assistant last semester. In the fall I will begin teaching my own sections of business statistics.

I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Biological Sciences in 2008, and will receive my Master of Science degree in Biological Sciences in May of 2010. Throughout the course of my college education, I have maintained a 4.0 GPA. As an undergraduate student, I worked as a private tutor with extensive tutoring experience in all levels of mathematics, biology, physics, chemistry, and ACT preparation. As a graduate student, I have been employed as a teaching assistant where I have been responsible for instructing university students in a variety of laboratory courses including Genetics, Plant Anatomy, Animal Behavior, and Zoology. I am a very patient, easy going, and considerate instructor. I believe that the hands-on learning approach is the most effective in helping all children learn. Each child has their own individual strengths and weaknesses. I feel it is important to identif

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 expected to do, and should be able to track their own progress towards demanding goals along the way. When students are asked to excel, they rise higher than they thought they could. 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

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.

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

While receiving my bachelor degree from SIUE, I tutored local grade school, high school, and college students. After graduating from SIUE with a degree in Secondary Mathematics Education, I was employed by Central Community High School for 11 years as a mathematics teacher. I have since received my masters degree in Computational Mathematics. I am currently teaching at Lewis and Clark Community College as an adjunct instructor. I have taught all levels of mathematics courses, including geometry, trigonometry, calculus, statistics, as well as all levels of algegra. I believe that all students can find success in mathematics. I truly have a gift at teaching mathematics. Many students who have never found success at understanding mathematics, have always found success in my class. This is because I have a very traditional style of teaching that is enjoyed and favored by my students a

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 learning sticks when it's fun and stumbled upon! A GOOD teacher can be a gift and set a fire in a child or young adult to take on the world! I love sharing my passion for learning and understanding. I hope it's contagious! 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 wit

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

Throughout my college years, I was involved in coaching high school aged students in baseball as well as younger kids in a baseball camp. During my last year of college, I helped with a after school tutoring program that included students up to the sixth grade. All subjects were covered and tutoring was done in one-on-one as well as small group settings. My bachelor's degree is from a self designed major I had developed to best fit the needs I saw beneficial for teaching in a non-traditional classroom environment. I later accepted an internship that fell in alignment with this self designed major working in the St. Louis Science Center. Since I have been coaching, I knew that I wanted to continue with passing on my knowledge to others. I believe that through teaching the passing of my knowledge can be most rewarding.
