Physics is one of my top subjects!

Dr. Griffith Garland studied engineering physics as an undergraduate at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, pioneering the program by being a member of the first class to graduate with that degree. She was twice a member of Who's Who Among American College and University Students and graduated summa cum laude. She put herself through college by tutoring students, working as a teaching assistant, and becoming the training manager at the University's computer lab. She went on to study geochemistry at Washington University in St. Louis, where she researched hydrothermal systems on Mars and their implications for life. While earning her Ph.D. at Washington University, she realized that some professors had difficulty conveying material to their students. She decided to be different and completed a Master's of Arts in Teaching, specializing in mathematics and sciences. After graduate sch ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My interest in mathematics and physics led me to my college program of Civil Engineering. Along the way to earning my BS in Civil Engineering, I was exposed to a broad range of mathematics and different areas of physics. I immediately noticed that I excelled in these subjects and took the opportunity to tutor others in these disciplines for two years while in college. Since graduation, I have continued tutoring mathematics and physics for many students, ranging in age from 14 to 40.
Students learn differently, and I try to find each student’s comfort zone for learning. Some teachers may not have the chance to really analyze a student’s learning needs due to the other 30 students in the class. That is why I think I have such an impact on all my students. I am patient and easy going person and like to provide a relaxed environment for the student, which I find enables them to a ... read more

The majority of my formal teaching experience has come in the past four years during my graduate career, during which I taught 3 semesters of college-level introductory and cellular biology labs. Additionally, I have worked extensively with incoming graduate students, developing and teaching workshops on presentations, oral examinations, and general studying skills. I am passionate about biology and the sciences and am a firm believer in an interdisciplinary approach to learning. Having just finished my master's thesis, I have strong outlining and writing skills that are applicable to any field of research.
I am an advocate of self-discovery and prefer to ask questions of my students rather than answer them. I believe that if a student can discover the answer for themselves, rather than being told the answer, they will have a deeper and longer-lasting understanding of the mater ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Tutoring has been an integral part of my undergraduate career, and something that I have thoroughly enjoyed. I love working with students and getting to know them. As a teacher, my main objective is to make the material relevant and interesting. I believe every student has a unique way of conceptualizing the material, and I like to approach a concept from various angles until the student fully understands. From working with the Academic Success Center, I know the value of preparedness and organization. For each tutoring session, I like to organize a lesson plan and create worksheets. In this way, I hope to enable students to interact with the material and work through repetition.
I recently graduated from Clemson University with a 3.98 GPA in Chemistry. As a recent graduate, I have a detailed understanding of both scientific and mathematical concepts, as well as a fresh recollectio ... read more

More About This Tutor...

When I am tutoring, my main focus is to explain the math and science in a way that is easier to understand, mostly by using visuals. I try to get a good understand of the knowledge of math that the students already possesses and what they need to improve. I also try to include many example problems and show how the technique is applied. Finally, the student will be asked to work some problems to better understand the application. Most of my tutoring has been with college students, but I am also comfortable assisting high school students.
Throughout my college career I have Tutored other students, usually adults, but even some younger students. My tutoring experience is mostly based on college physics, algebra, trigonometry, and calculus. Also, I have a good understanding of higher level mathematics involving differential equations and complex analysis. When helping others wit ... read more

I am a recent graduate of Alabama State University, where I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry. Graduating magna cum laude at the top of my class with a 3.65/4.0 grade point average, I was always sought after for help in those tough curriculum classes like physics, chemistry, genetics and molecular biology. In the spring of 2006 I began formally tutoring general and organic chemistry to college juniors and seniors for the physical science/chemistry professor at my university. In the summer of 2006 I picked up another work study job tutoring college juniors and seniors in Physics. I continued both of these jobs until my graduation in May of 2007. I also voluntarily and independently tutored younger, grade-school aged, children in a host of subjects. I have a very strong understanding of math and writing as well.
As an educator, I strive to impro ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Throughout my undergraduate experience, I worked with many of my fellow students to help them better understand chemistry concepts. I have gained experience in all of the major fields of chemistry including organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry and physical chemistry. I have even completed inorganic/physical chemistry research which I presented to other scientists. I currently work as a chemist, which keeps my skills sharp.
I believe I have a great teaching style which enables me to relate concepts in a way that any new student to chemistry can understand. I love using visual aids to help get new ideas across, since I myself is a visual learner. I also like to get the student involved so that I know they are grasping the concepts and not just the answers.

A Little Bit About Me...

I graduated with a 4-year degree in Mech. Eng. in 1997. I was very successful for the next 12 years, in various positions. In 2009, I changed to the IT field. As an engineer and thereafter, I mentored many friends, colleagues, and friends of friends with computers. I am familiar with MS Windows, but I plan to learn about MAC PCs soon. I know I can help any user find a better way to operate the computer. I have read reference books and software manuals to educate myself on technology. Also, my engineering background has benefited me in a way that makes learning about new technologies seems to be a natural and quick process.
For 1:1 tutoring my teaching style will vary depending on the individual's needs and the topic covered. I try to work at the student’s learning pace in an effort to allow the student time to comprehend and retain what is covered within the session. I am no ... read more

As a recent CofC graduate attaining my Bachelors of Science degree in Biology, I have a vast knowledge of Biology and Chemistry courses. I also attained minors in Chemistry and Psychology. In high school I completed Advanced Placement (AP) courses in Biology, English, and Calculus and placed out of 21 college credit hours. With this experience, I gained knowledge about the arrangment and expectations of these classes and examinations. During High School, I tutored Middle School aged children in all subjects in an after-school program. Currently, I work as a Patient Care Technician at the MUSC's Children's Hospital. This position has allowed me to gain experience in communicating effectively and purposefully with children of all ages.
I love working with children. I especially love teaching them about science and mathematics because I find these subjects so interesting. There ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love children of all ages. I believe that every child can learn and excel in school. Unfortunatley, all children learn differently and schools do not adapt well. I will adapt to the learning techniques that best fit the student. My only goal is to meet the goals the students have and to teach them as much as I possibly can.
As a recent graduate of Clemson University, I am very familiar with school and the tools necessary to learn and excel. I graduated with a B.S. in Biological Sciences. This degree has given me extensive knowledge of chemistry, physics, and biology. I also have extensive knowledge of writing research papers, lab reports, and essays. As a tutor, I will be able to provide the knowledge and skills necessary to excel academically.
