Throughout my education, I have come to learn and adapt to many different types of learners. I understand that students many require alternative teaching methods to accommodate to their personal needs and I enjoy the challenge. Personally, I am a visual learner, however I always make my best attempt to address auditory and tactile learners. In doing so, I have seem the motivation in students increase which has been shown in their test scores and overall grades. As a recent graduate from Slippery Rock University, I have earned my BS in both Elementary Education as well as Special Education. I have worked with the university to tutor fellow college classmates and helped potential teacher candidates succeed in mathematics. I have also gained my certification in middle school mathematics. At the completion of my student teaching experience I received exemplary marks not only from my co

I am an upcoming May 2006 graduate from Allegheny College, majoring in English. Given my background at a small, liberal arts college and being a former biochemistry major, I have a great understanding of language arts, math and science. I have completed a 60 page research project as well completed numerous written projects throughout my college career, that have undoubtedly strengthened my writing skills. In high school, as well as in college, I have tutored students anywhere from the middle school level to the high school level in all subjects. I have worked with students from youth development centers to rural students. In addition to tutoring, I worked this past summer as an intern for SummerBridge Pittsburgh where I taught reading and writing to a group of accelerated eighth graders. Currently I teach GED courses to local residents. I feel that my various experiences are a str

My approach to teaching is more of a "why" approach. It is more important for students to know why something is or works rather than just how. This approach works well for middle and high school students. It allows students not only to understand the ideas taught but to apply them to other areas as well. I also like to use visual aids as well as conversation. I have found that many of us vary widely in learning styles. Some are visual learners, others are audio learners, and still others are a combination. I work well one-on-one but also enjoy small groups. I look forward to working with you or your children to produce results they can be proud of. I have a BS in business and can tutor in any business related fields. In addition, my original college major was physics. I can and have taught physics, math, (up to differential equations) and physical sciences. I have also been an ame

My experience in teaching is broad and varied. I have taught medical students, other physicians, technologists, as well as teaching at military facilities. In additiom, I have two school age children myself and I believe that I am their primary teacher. This varied teaching experience allows me to tailor my teaching methods to the students and has allowed me to gain a great fund of knowledge. I believe that learning is best achieved in a comfortable, nothreatening enviroment. People learn best when they understand the importance of the material being taught, something I strive to convey to my students. While I can easily teach a didactic lecturing style, I feel that an interactive approach often better meets the needs of the students. Ultimately, education is a reflection of the students success and the teacher is merely a means to that end.

I love working with students and helping them to learn and understand. I believe that any student can understand any subject and that all students are able to succeed. I am an innovative, flexible, and patient individual. I am excited to work with students helping them to succeed in all that they do. As for a specific teaching style, I beleive that teachers should adapt how they teach. This ability to change is what allows all students to learn no matter past experiences in a given subject. As someone who is working full-time and going to school full-time, I am driven to succeed in everything that I do. I have earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry and am currently pursuing a Master’s Degree from Liberty University so that I can teach. I have three years experience tutoring students in various levels of mathematics and the sciences, thus ensuring excellent com

I believe that all children should be given the opportunity to learn and succeed. I feel that it is my job to create a safe, secure, and fun environment in order for learning to take place. I believe that all students can suceed and as an educator I need to find the best way to teach in order for all of my students to succeed. I love children and want them to be the best that they can. Currently, I am an online math tutor. I tutor students at the elementary and middle school level. Prior to becoming a tutor I was a Middle School Math teacher at an alternative school. I have also tutored Elementary students in Reading and Math in previous years.

In physics, chemistry, and mathematics, I believe it is very important that the student must learn the fundamental principles and concepts for long-term retention and application. Therefore, my teaching style will be based on: "DID YOU GET IT?" and not based on "rote learning" or "getting the result and moving on." I believe that a bright child should not be deterred from learning and achieving the fullest depth of his or her potential because of the shallowness of the perceptions of society. In my experience and observations, every child has a different style of learning. Bottom line: My goal is to make students learn with enthusiasm; ask plenty of questions; and retain what they learn! I bring advanced college degrees, 20 years of real-world experience, and a deep insight into the barriers of culture, race, and language. I have a Bachelors degree(Chemical Engr.) and Masters (Chemica
