Physics Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Stoddard, NH

I have a passion for teaching but waited until I gained some "real world" experience. I found that this has helped me relate to my students since I am able to make meaningful connections to their learning. I like to discover what my students already know about the topic and to expose any misconceptions. Brainstorming activities work well for me. I like to help define the topic in common terms, not the classic dictionary method. I use presentation, discussion, videos and hands on activities. Most of what I do is inquiry based.

My teaching experience spans college freshmen physics to middle school math. I converted to education after 20 years as a materials engineer in a number of industrial manufacturing companies. I have completed a state certified certificate program and did my student teaching in physics at a local high school. I am most experienced with secondary students grades 9-12 but have recently tutored college math, physics and chemistry students. I have BS and MS degrees in engineering. I have taught in both public schools and a school for multiple handicapped children. I am also experienced with high achieving physics students. I believe in learning through experience, and finding a venue that the learner understands to set the experience. I also believe in test taking , essentialist philosophy, because test taking to demonstrate comprehension is necessary to communicate understanding and a

I have been a physics and mathematics tutor for my fellow students at the University of Waterloo, in Waterloo, Ontario. Also, I served as a physics T.A. at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute before I transferred to Waterloo. Finally, I was a substitute teacher for two years at Belmont Middle School and Belmont High School, in Belmont, New Hampshire. My teaching style is simple but effective. With mathematics and physics, the student retains an idea, with the added benefit of a solid intuition if he or she is fortunate enough to work through a problem using his or her's own insights. Guiding the student with the systematic offering of penetrating questions seems to be one of the most powerful methods to aid in the understanding of mathematical and physical phenomena.

I enjoy teaching high schoolers for a variety of reasons. Mostly because of how honest I can be with them. I enjoy teaching hands-on, real life application of the sciences in a way that students can understand the concept as well as the usefulness to them out in the real world. My goal is not to be the student's friend or even their favorite teacher, but to be fair and prepare them for what life might throw at them outside of the classroom. I want them to have the tools and discipline to succeed in the real world. I currently teach high school science. In the past four years I have taught classes such as physical science (an introductory course to physics and chemistry), biology and anatomy & physiology. I currently have a BS in Animal Science and a Master's of Art and Teaching in General Science. I also hold certification to teach Biology in the state of New Hampshire.

I am a very well organized person who can multitask and prioritize extremely well, however to me this important but yet secondary aspect of teaching is next to assisting children develop their social, communication, developmental and learning skills. Creativity in this job is a must and I feel you need to be on the same level as your students to engage them in what you want to teach them. Not all students learn in the same fashion so I feel teaching the same facts but in different ways to target your audience is very key in education. From reading, to visual arts and verbal communication, I feel that they are all just as important as the next one and I would encompass them all into my style of teaching. My tutoring experience consists of friends over the years, however it has always been something I was very good at. I decided to make a career change after working at Fidelity Invest

I enjoy teaching and working with HS or College level students. I believe everyone can learn mathematics and physics, however, everyone learns differently, and it is important to cater to individual students needs. I am proficient with computational mathematics programs such as Maple and Matlab, and I thoroughly enjoy creating 3D visual displays to help students learn. My experience includes preparing lessons and teaching for Calculus II, Calculus III, Calculus IV, and Vector and Tensor Calculus for Engineers. As a Worcester Polytechnic Institute underclassman, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I have earned two bachelor degrees, BS in Mathematics and BS in Physics, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math and science. In addition, I have experience researching, and the results of my senior thesis will be published

In the classroom I rely on traditional lecture, supplemented by Powerpoint presentations, animations, and lists and diagrams on the white board. I usually assign a research paper. In the last few semesters I've implemented through Blackboard some online testing, as well as tutorial "homework" quizzes, where the students get feedback directing them to coverage of particular sections of the text. I always try to make students aware of how the detailed, technical concepts of the moment fit into the "big picture," making references both to material previously covered and to material yet to come. I have a BA in Microbiology and an MA in Zoology. I have 7-8 years experience teaching biology, ecology, microbiology and environmental science at the college level. In addition I have many years experience in software engineering, technical writing, software quality assurance, and technical edi

Students have different learning styles, so I try to adapt my tutoring style to best suit the needs of the student. I have a unique ability to explain complicated concepts on a simple level. I try to make sure that the student really understands the concepts, rather than just teaching him or her to mechanically do the work. When working on problems, I generally use an interactive approach, in which I ask the student questions designed to direct his or her thinking in the right direction. In this way, the student is deeply involved and is encouraged to think and to use what he or she does know to figure out what is needed. This also gives the student confidence in his or her own ability. As a graduate of two of the finest engineering colleges in the country, I have received an excellent education, earning a BS in Electrical Engineering from Cooper Union and an MS in Electrical Enginee

I believe knowledge and success go hand-in-hand. That’s one of the main reasons I enjoy teaching and tutoring students of all ages. I’m grateful for the people in my life that have taken the time to teach and show me various things. I enjoy doing the same, passing along any knowledge that I’ve gained because information should be shared. I try to structure my teaching style to be a bit informal, so the student feels comfortable learning and asking questions. I also try to structure my teaching around the students learning style so that they can get the most out of the session. Lastly, I try to show any tricks for remembering certain information that either I was taught by my own professors or that I came up with during my own studies. I graduate May 2009 from Simmons College with a BS in Biochemistry. My courses taken during my undergraduate career were heavily focused in the scie

I enjoy helping students reach their full potential. I am respectful and considerate of each student. My teaching style consists of a combination of direct instruction and guided discovery. Each student learns at a different rate. I provide the appropriate methods of instruction for academic success. A have a Bachelor of Science degree in biology with minors in education and chemistry. My understanding of science has been strengthened by completing 30 graduate credits in biology related fields and 23 graduate credits in chemistry. I have over 20 years of teaching experience in chemistry, including honor and advanced placement chemistry.

I have always enjoyed helping students better understand and even enjoy the classes they may be having trouble with. I believe that even with daunting subjects like Physics and Math, any student can learn if they just discover how to relate to the course and make it more familiar. Helping the student to see why something works the way it does, brings about a better understanding of the material rather than just memorizing facts and equations. Patience has always been an important factor in how I teach material, since every student comes from different educational backgrounds and experiences, and it is important to give the student time to learn, rather than forcing through subject matter. During my studies at UMass Amherst, I have had extensive coursework in Physics, gaining a solid grounding in mathematics in the process. For the past two years I have worked at the Learning Resource Cen

I have been tutoring for many years. I started at Sylvan Learning Centers, where I was there for two and one half years. I am proud to say I was successful in that I helped many students and that I was able to do this over a wide range of student needs. Some of this included teaching the SAT preparation course, both the English and math sides. I have also had students who I tutored in their home. This included some advanced math students. I have spent time working at institutions where I was able help some very low level students too. My strength is in mathematics, but have also been successful tutoring other subjects. I like to get to know my student. Being a little older, I find it easier to do this. This getting to know the student, includes understanding their needs and what they know. Once I get to know the student, learning can progress. I am good at summarizing the informati

I have earned two Masters degrees, MS in applied Physics and a MS in radiological sciences. In addition, I have a BS in nuclear physics. I have gained enough experience in teaching physics at the University of Massachusetts, Boston and Lowell. I have always felt a great joy teaching new things and feeling that the student is learning something that will serve him for the rest of his career. My students think of me as their favorite teacher which has been reflected by the fact that my sections have always been full. I always do my best to help everybody in the class. I think that I can make them love physics by being very clear and trying to make things very simple for them.

I'm a recent graduate of the University of Vermont with a Bachelor of Arts in Physics and a minor in Pure Mathematics. I feel comfortable tutoring both high school and college mathematics and physics. I have experience tutoring 2 students at the middle-school level, and I have also taught swim lessons (references available upon request). I like to get the student engaged and make as much of the session as possible into a quiz for the student: I like to use flashcards and I have no problem spending unpaid time outside of the session producing learning materials for the session. I like to build the subject matter up from elementary examples to more thorough applications, and I like to do this by getting the student actively engaged in problem solving during the entire session.
