I have had a very large variety of teaching experiences. During my teaching practicums at Indiana State University, I was able to teach a number of subjects.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe in problem-based tutoring for algebra, and construct problems based on the textbook problems whenever possible. I let the student try the problem first, watching closely for any mistakes, and then teach the rules as necessary, and summarize mistakes after each set of problems. However, I can also teach all the rules beforehand if a student has been absent from class. For chemistry, I reviewed class notes with students and then explained the fundamentals whenever there was a question, and then did practice problems with the students.
I have two years of tutoring experience in college chemistry with the University Learning Center at Penn State. I tutored over twenty students in college chemistry. I am currently tutoring and mentoring a student in High School algerbra and chemistry for free.

More About This Tutor...

I began college as an engineering major, so I have background in advanced mathematics and physics. I went on to change my major to psychology where I gained knowlege of social and behavioral sciences, as well as research technologies and statistical analysis. Since graduating college with a B.A. in psychology, I have worked as a psychology researcher, accounting assistant, and in 3 different roles for an international pharmaceutical company. Through my job experience, I have gained knowledge in different business disciplines and areas such as Lean/Six Sigma and Supply Chain/Logistics planning.
I love teaching all ages and skill levels. I adjust my teaching style to the individual - some people are visual learners or oral learners or hands-on learners. I teach by example and try to encourage my students to understand "why" rather than just "how."

The most important thing to me is making sure each child is able to learn in a manner in which they feel comfortable. Each person's learning style is as unique as the individual themselves. So, I like to get input from the student as to how they would like lesson plans and exercises to be implemented. I don't believe that there are children who can't reach their fullest potential as long as there is a teacher who is willing to put in the extra measures that are necessary.
Due to my undergraduate experiences at NCAT, I was able to develop new skills while enhancing the ones that I already possessed. While at A&T, I earned a degree in African American studies, in which I learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing graduate level research papers. Basic education requirements enabled me to gain and understanding in many different subjects such as math and science. During my ... read more

Science has always been very fascinating to me and I love to share what I have learned in the sciences. I think that it is important that all students have a good grasp of biology, chemistry and math to ensure a good understanding of how the earth works.

I believe that all students are worth my time, my ears, my voice, and my compassion. I believe that all students cc an learn, all students want to learn, all students can have fun with learning, and all students have something to teach me. I believe that children should be looked at as individuals with different interests, learning styles, and needs. I believe children learn best with a connection to prior knowledge. I believe that children learn from prior experience and hands on opportunities.

More About This Tutor...

First of all, I love to teach. I believe that a good tutor must treat each student as a unique individual. While hands on manipulatives may be very helpful to one student, another may flourish under the power of logic. Understanding how a student makes sense of a topic can be crucial in deciding which strategy or technique may be the best. I value the importance of the emotional and physical well being of the student.If a student is anxious or hungry, these conditions will need to be dealt with for a session to succeed. I am a friendly person with a great faith in the abilities of young people, lots of patience, a sense of humor and a relaxed demeanor.I believe in accentuating the positive to help build confidence.

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching children is a passion of mine. All children are different, therefore they learn in many ways. I believe it is essential to include various activities in the classroom that allow students to gain knowledge and information they need. I believe that integrating technology, music, dance, and physical activities help students learn. Using manipulatives and hands-on activities will allow students to not only learn the material, but discover that learning is fun! I believe that with positive classrooms and encouragement, all children will find joy in learning and reach their potential. With each student I come into contact with, I make it a point to help them become life long learners and apply what they’ve learned to their everyday life.

I believe that students need guidance and structure in order to reach their highest potential. In the classroom, instruction can only be differentiated so much. Individual tutoring would allow me the chance to really meet a student at their level and understand their learning style.
I am currently in my first year teaching in Indianapolis. I am a licensed Biology teacher although I have a strong math and science background. I would love to have an opportunity to work with students on a one-on-one basis.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a parent of two children in special education, I understand that children learn in different ways. I am very patient with children and understand firsthand how learning can be a challenge. I believe that all children can learn, but not every child learns in a non-traditional way. I believe that assessing students continually is the key to knowing what a child needs to in order to master subject material. By exploring all mediums available, learning can be achieved and increased confidence and self-esteem will follow.

A Little Bit About Me...

Throughout my college career, I have worked in many different fields. The field that has given me the most satisfaction is tutoring. For the past year, I have been tutoring high school and college students in Chemistry. I have also tutored students in Biology and Algebra. I am currently pursuing my Masters at IUPUI.
I notice that many high school instructors do not teach the basics of science. I believe it is important to cover the basics of the periodic table and elements for one to enjoy Chemistry. I try to make learning fun. I make note cards and sheets for my students. I am very compassionate and easy to talk to.
