A Little Bit About Me...

As a masters degree holding physicist I have an extensive background in both physics and mathematics. Additionally, as a published author and the author of many research papers and lab reports I have considerable grammatical skills, and writing experience. My whole educational career tutoring my classmates and siblings has come as second nature to me, but I have had official teaching assistant and course assistant roles in helping edit student essays, and in introductory physics courses. Additionally, I have tutored students in astronomy, chemistry, history of science, and mathematics at levels ranging from basic arithmetic to calculus. I also have considerable experience with standardized testing, drawing and painting.
I am a calm, patient, and easy-going person who loves learning and loves helping others to learn. I enjoy adapting to different learning styles, and want to h ... read more

I tutored middle school and high school students in math when I was in a high school, specifically algebra I and II, as well as SAT prep. In college, I helped students in calculus, biology, and statistics, as these are the primary focus of my undergraduate degree. I was also a Resident Advisor for 3 years, which lent itself to helping students with coursework as well as college life. Finally, in Michigan, I tutored master's level students in their statistics courses, both individually and in study groups.

My comments on tutoring GRE : Chemistry, Biochemistry and Biological Sciences

I solve problems. I am a bioanalytical chemist and biomedical engineer. This profession requires using math, statistics, biology and chemistry at a high level on a daily basis as I develop products that improve healthcare. I have taught or tutored science and math from elementary to post-college level for over 25 years in diverse settings.
Student-led and interactive. No lectures. No drudgery. I focus on the process of solving problems. Restate the question. Draw diagrams. Figure out what information is missing. How can I get that information? Can it be calculated or is an estimate good enough? What sources are reliable?

More About This Tutor...

I try to be as prepared as possible when I teach. I try to have the clearest lesson plan possible. Once this is in place, I try to be as energetic as possible in order to engage the student with the material in question. Additionally, I believe that a teacher must remain patient with all students. If one is prepared, patient and passionate, then success is much more likely. I also try to always remain flexible and ready to adapt to the needs of the student or students. If possible, I try to get to know the student or students in order to have a better bond with them. I always respect students and expect the same in turn.
I began teaching at the University of Florida (where I earned an MA) as a Teaching Assistant for large lecture courses. I did have my own students whom I interacted with in a more personal environment. I taught philosophy there. Before this, I earned my BA in Engli ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I love tutoring and mentoring. I naturally adapt my style to that of each student. As part of the instruction, I often ask easy questions to help them discover the rules of math for themselves. By doing this, my students quickly find concepts that were difficult for them begin to make sense! I also encourage them to ask about everything in the lesson they don’t fully understand. I am very patient, caring and encouraging. I help my students build confidence, self-esteem and a positive attitude.
I have taught, tutored, trained and mentored students of all ages for more than 15 years. My background includes being a math teacher and adjunct professor. I taught at colleges in New Jersey and at Duke University. The students I tutor are often in grades 5-12, in college or preparing to return to school. I also have several years experience applying math to real world situations, ... read more

I am a graduate student working towards a PhD in Physics at Duke University. My previous experience in teaching has ranged from individual to group tuition at the high school and college level for subjects ranging from Mathematics to Chemistry and Physics. I have won teaching awards for teaching Physics to students at Duke. Previous students have gone on to pursue professional degrees in top institutions.
My teaching philosophy is best summed up by the Confucian aphorism "I hear and I forget, I see and I remember. I do and I understand". In engaging students, I attempt to make the subject matter appealing and relevant to their lives, and highlight areas of common misconception. I encourage active participation in the student asking questions when in doubt. To build confidence in problem solving, I will be working problems in a style consistent with the students way of thought. Am m ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have always had an interest in English, writing, and Communications. I have tutored students in both English, reading, and writing. In my undergraduate program I earned a BA in English and spent time working as a writer and Sports Editor for my college newspaper, worked as an intern at a newspaper, and worked in Public Relations as Communications Manager for a nonprofit organization.
I believe that any child can learn and that we all have various learning styles. We just have to find the style that is best for optimum learning. Some of us are visual learners and some are auditory learners, and many of us learn with a combination of styles. I believe that by working with students to finding their unique and individual learning style a tutor is the most effective.

A Little Bit About Me...

I developed some tricks and techniques on my own which have really helped me in solving problems very fast. I will be happy to share some with the student if he/she is willing to learn. The student needs to be hard working because I am not there to give them a magic formula to solve problems. They will be able to learn to apply their analytical abilities and solve problems with proper reasoning. I have rarely used textbooks in Math, the only reason I used books was to find more problems to solve.
I am a highly skilled math student, with a degree in computer science from Clemson University. I have about 2 years of private tutoring experience in Math where I taught the student from Freshman to Junior year in high school. I really love sharing my ideas with students and help them learn the subject efficiently.

I have done student teaching at the high school level in Math, specifically, Geometry and Trigonometry. I created innovative new ways to use the materials on hand to reawaken students' natural mathematical curiosity and to exemplify the concepts of the courses. I have done one semester of long term substitute work in which I taught underprivileged children Physics and Physical Science. I had to design the curriculum from the ground up because they had rotating substitutes before I took over. Beyond that, I have taught numerous and varied college labs and recitations in the UNC physics department, and I have tutored for those same classes. I have also recently started tutoring high school students in the area.
My teaching style is a mixture of direct instruction and discovery based learning whose components depend on the student(s) at hand. I've been known to make generalized ... read more

I try to make things as fun as possible, and I try to help the student understand by putting the subject in a way that suits their interests. I like to joke around with the students, because it puts them at ease, and it develops a relationship with them that is hard to come by. Without that relationship, the teaching is harder, and the learning is harder. I still get the curriculum across, but in a way that the student understands.
I have taught all levels of high school English and all types of academic achievement within those levels. I am currently a middle school teacher. I have worked with AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) as well. I have worked with students either one on one or via the whole class to improve reading, writing, and test-taking skills. I am also pursuing a certificate in Social Studies, as I have a degree in Political Science.

I have my Masters and my Bachelors degrees in Chemistry. I have won 2 department teaching awards due to my success in motivating students and presenting the material in exciting ways. I have a strong background in Chemistry and Biology and my ability to speak foreign languages at various levels of fluency would be an asset for your student.
I enjoy working with children and students of all ages. I believe that tutoring students requires patience and dedication to ensure that your students believe that I genuinely care about their success. My teaching style involves establishing the core concepts and expanding outwards so my students can apply their knowledge towards understanding any type of problem. By establishing strong fundamentals, any student can be successful.

More About This Tutor...

As a student, I was always committed to learning and to achieving my goals. As a teacher and tutor, I strive to help others share the same love for learning and for understanding as I do. Now, I help others set goals, and work toward achieving them. I have worked with all ages, all ability levels, and various sized groups and have enjoyed each and every experience. In the past, I have primarily tutored in the subject of Mathematics, but am also trained by the Literacy Council to tutor reading and writing, and have enjoyed volunteering with that organization as well. I believe that I can help anyone enjoy and understand math, and help them feel better about themselves for it.
First and foremost, I believe it is important to establish a trusting relationship with those you teach. Throughout my experiences in the field of education, I have found the most fruitful of those relationshi ... read more
