Todd R. - Clifton Park, NY 12065 (52 mi) - Physics Tutor - $42.50/hr.
I am a certified science teacher currently working full time with experience in grades 7-12. I have taught astronomy to 12th graders, 9th grade earth science and 7-8th grade science. I am also a home tutor for my school district and have experience tutoring all subject matters from 6-12th grade. My undergraduate background was heavy in math and physics so I am also proficient in those subject areas.

Michael S - Mount Holly, VT 05758 (9 mi) - Physics Tutor - $31.50/hr.
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.

Carol K - Argyle, NY 12809 (26.2 mi) - Physics Tutor - $46.50/hr.
My broad-based educational background gives me a firm foundation for interacting with students on a variety of levels. I have taught both French and Mathematics at the college level, have tutored Math, Physics and Chemistry at the college level, and have substituted in high schools and junior highs as well. As a research mathematician with GE, I have explained mathematical concepts to adults with a wide range of backgrounds. No one teaching style works with all students, or even a majority of them. I enjoy the challenge of finding ways to make academic subjects interesting and relevant to different students. I usually use a combination of guided discovery, question-and-answer, and hands-on approaches to teaching and learning.

Robert P - Queensbury, NY 12804 (31.1 mi) - Physics Tutor - $47.00/hr.
I try to adapt my teaching style to the student. I keep trying different methods until we find what works best. This is probably why many of my students have told me that I am great at explaining things so they understand it.
Being proficient at math is similar to being proficient at playing a musical instrument. You can’t learn to play an instrument by going to concerts and watching other people perform. Similarly, you can’t learn math by watching the teacher solve problems. I try to guide students to the correct solution and give immediate feedback while they work. I am a retired engineer who has been substitute teaching for about 4 years including several long term positions. I have a BS in Mechanical Engineering and a MS in teaching with addition coursework in Electrical Engineering and Math. My tutoring experience started in Adirondack Community College’s math lab where

David R - Randolph, VT 05060 (32.8 mi) - Physics Tutor - $36.00/hr.
I earned a BS in Aeronautics and have completed some graduate work in aerodynamics and meteorology. In addition to having given approximately 3000 hours of instruction in aviation subjects, I have authored several textbooks on aircraft design and construction. I've been both a research pilot and a captain on a cargo airline. My teaching style is straightforward - proceed from the simple to the complex. It appears most subjects require this approach. I find it both helpful and important to try and relate situations encountered in day-to-day life to the specific subject problems.

Kaitlin K - Queensbury, NY 12804 (33.3 mi) - Physics Tutor - $49.00/hr.
I very much enjoy teaching both children and young adults. It gives me great satisfaction in helping others achieve a higher level of knowledge and skills. In addition, I feel that tutoring is a two-way street, whereby both the student learns material from the tutor, while at the same time the tutor learns how to better present the material in a way that is conducive for the student's learning. As such I strive to create a teaching environment that is both welcoming, yet challenging. Lastly, when it comes to learning and teaching, I believe in perseverance. Not every student has the ability to comprehend and retain everything all at once. Therefore as a tutor I would strive to instill this quality in my students. Having received both my undergraduate and graduate degrees from Cornell University and the University of California in the area of physical science (Atmospheric Science),

G Michael S - Claremont, NH 03743 (33.7 mi) - Physics Tutor - $36.00/hr.
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.

Karen B - Stillwater, NY 12170 (41.8 mi) - Physics Tutor - $44.00/hr.
I enjoy teaching individuals as well as small groups, understanding each person has specific needs and study habits. My goal is to help you and your child find a study method that works and leads to an understanding of a subject. I strive to get to know you and your child and make a subject easy to understand by breaking down complex ideas and concepts to 'everyday terms'. I attempt to make a positive impact, offer encouragement and help in any way possible. While earning my degree in earth and atmospheric science I was a tutor to underclassmen at my university in the subjects of earth science and geography. I have a firm understanding of earth science, meteorology, geography, physics and geology. As a senior, I completed extensive research in 3 upper level classes, completing a 6 credit independent study class with an A as well as two other independent study classes with A's. I enjoy te

Anders P - Washington, VT 05675 (44.6 mi) - Physics Tutor - $34.00/hr.
I've had a deep enthusiasm for mathematics and physics since an early age, when my father, a professor of physics at Dartmouth College, introduced me to the beauty and elegance of the principles underlying these fields. During my junior and senior years at Hanover High, I took courses for credit in both areas, and continued those studies at Princeton University, although ultimately I settled in a degree in psychology. After graduation, I spent one year teaching high school level mathematics at The Mountain School in Vershire, Vermont, before beginning a career in software engineering. One way to inspire a student in these fields is to touch their sense of awe and amazement, another is to instill an appreciation for the usefulness and practicality of what is being taught. With either approach, it is helpful to gain an understanding of the student's interests, attitudes and learning style.

Sanat B - Halfmoon, NY 12118 (48.4 mi) - Physics Tutor - $47.00/hr.
I love teaching, coaching and mentoring children. My pleasure derives from your child’s success at school or in their lives. I have tutored children at several levels, with varying degrees of leaning capacities. I teach them techniques to learn, remember, apply the knowledge and take different types of tests/quizzes. I spend considerable amount of time in learning students’ educational background and preparing myself to teach such that tutoring does not feel a burden to a kid, and kids show more interest in learning and absorbing relative subject matters. I take pride and strive to make a significant contribution to building career of their choices to all of students I teach. · Well Experienced Tutor, over 25 years, for Mathematics and Sciences
