I have taught for years in the public school system in Kansas. I have also served our great nation in the military, and am proud to a United States veteran. I am an avid learner, and have been my entire life. That allows me to have a unique perspective on tutoring others, for I have struggled in many areas of my education, and know how to get the point across better than most.

I am currently a Physics Faculty at Wichita State University. Before that I had been working as a Graduate teaching assistant in the department of Physics, New Mexico State University, where I taught integrated Lab physics courses to both physics and non – physics majors. This position enabled me to provide these students with a “head start” in mastering conceptual skills in general physics courses. My Labs were integrated rather than traditional. I used a variety of techniques such as computer simulations, PowerPoint presentation, group discussions, videos presentations, online tools and a variety of homework schemes to beautifully unveil the various concepts in Physics. With a teaching experience of more than seven years, a PHD in Applied Mathematics with Emphasis in Physics , a Master of Science in Physics (Minor: Computer Science, Teaching and Administration),Master of Arts in Educ

Every child can learn! I believe that all children learn in different ways and it is a teacher or tutors obligation to find the way each child learns best. My goal with every student I work with is to get them excited about learning and exciting about wanting to know more. I am a patient, energetic and enthusiastic person who enjoys working with children. If a child is given the appropriate help then they will succeed. I had wonderful teachers growing up that helped me learn and I want to be that person for the next generation. I have worked almost continuously at Wichita Collegiate School over the last 8-9 years. During high school I worked in the Early Childhood after-school program and summer programs. Since graduating from Colorado State University I have substituted in multiple age groups and for a variety of course work areas. In addition, I have received an Associates De

I am a fun loving person who has always enjoyed life and learning. Given my varied background, I am proof that if you study hard and apply yourself, you can do anything. So what better way to pass on my enthusiasm than through teaching? I have experience mentoring others in a professional environment to achieve their career aims and objectives and my personable, friendly style will be suited to working with children. I have a Master of Science in Physics from Imperial College London, which internationally is ranked as one of the top twenty universities. This scientific background has provided me with my problem solving, analytical and numerical skills. The competencies I have learned and developed from my education has opened up many doors for me and I would like to take this opportunity to assist others in achieving their goals. I have experience in report writing and data analysis, in

I am a very relaxed person and possess an easy going teaching style. I consider myself very approachable and encourage those I am tutoring to ask questions. I specialize in math and biology and am able to teach to students with varying aptitudes in these subjects. My math teaching style consists of working practice problems and teaching different ways of solving problems since each student is different, not the same method works for each student. In science I try to relate the subject in terms of everyday life. I am very extroverted and always want people to feel comfortable around me. I think it is very important to have the students be comfortable to avoid the stress and anxiety that can accompany learning a difficult subject. During my four years obtaining a bachelor's degree in biology, I spent five semesters being a tutor in college algebra, statistics, pre-med biology, and sp

"Teaching" was the way I supported myself through college. I was a lab instructor, university experience teacher, cultural anthropology tutor, nutrition educator, and even a gymnastic instructor. I was thankful to find the College of St. Mary's Masters of Arts in Teaching. It is a solid program that has given me the opportunity to have a formal education in teaching. In my program I have over 100 practicum hours in a middle school science classroom, I tutored AP chemistry, and I have had exposure to reading comprehension strategies in many of my classes. Right now I student teach at Wichita North High. My classes are anatomy and physiology, biology, and honors biology. I have a passion for education. I am a lifelong learner that loves getting my student excited about learning. This is often easier said than done. Through instruction in my teaching program and field experiences I hav

Since I've been tutoring I've helped around 50 students individually and have developed different teaching styles to suit different students. I am aware that each person learns material in a different manner so the teaching style must be adapted to suit their individual needs. I am patient and friendly and more than capable of explaining material so that students are able to grasp it. I have been tutoring my entire college career. All of my students received the grade that they were wanting and quite a few students even recommended me to their peers. I began tutoring one student a semester privately and was eventually recruited to tutor for a University program. While tutoring for the program I tutored 7 students one on one and ran a help room where I assisted many more. I have a BS in Aerospace Engineering so I am quite familiar with most math and science subjects. I also graduated f

After obtaining a BA in Business Ad, becoming a CPA, and working ten years as an accountant/auditor, I focused my skills towards teaching. I taught accounting and business math 4 yrs at a business college and community college. In addition I have used extensive grammatical skills in writing audit reports and business letters. I also have many years volunteering in various children's programs. Most recently is five years as Children's Teacher/Supervisor of a weekly preschool program of 35 children ages 2-6, Teaching, in some form, has been a part of my life for the last 20 years. During that time I discovered for myself that students learn in different ways. I believe in a positive and encouraging teaching style utlizing varying explanations. I love instructing one on one and seeing the lightbulb turn on when a student gets it. I am reliable, easy going, and eager to make a differ

I absolutely love teaching. I have considered continuing my education and pursuing a secondary education teaching degree. I believe I am patient and kind, and provide a learning experience that is most beneficial to all. I think that students can have fun while learning, and I try to combine fun into my teachings. Although so many students don't believe it, anyone can solve a math problem! They just need to understand how to look at the problem the right way. I'm able to give the one on one attention that a teacher isn't able to. As a Civil Engineering student at the University of Michigan, I took classes that led to proficiency in math and science, as well as general classes that have given me a well-rounded education. I have been tutoring in Physics and Calculus for the past six years. I have also been playing guitar for 10 years, and have been giving lessons for four years.

I actually started tutoring while I was still in college, helping out one of the science/math teachers, and proctoring classes when she needed me to. I have a BS in Natural Science with a biology emphasis, from which I've gained knowledge in most areas of science and math. Besides helping to teach in college, I also was a tutor for three years, in several subjects including Chemistry, Algebra, Calculus I and II, Physics, and more. I also was a member of the English Honor Society, where I proof-read papers for students once a week. Since I have tutored for several years, I've found that every person learns slightly differently. The key to how I teach is to figure out how that person best learns. There is no such thing as a stupid person, just one who hasn't been taught in a way that they can understand yet. I am a firm believer in never giving up on someone, particularly when I know that

When I am teaching a subject, I attempt to pinpoint exactly where the pupil is misunderstanding the content. Then, I explain to the student in a way I believe will come across more natural. I truly believe in the variety of learning styles that all people possess. I believe they should be considered strengths and not weaknesses. The past four years, I have had experience with a diverse population of students working in the Wichita Public School District. In the classroom, I teach and coach students on all subjects, including: Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, P.E. and Computer Technology. I have held tutoring sessions after school with young students as well as grown adults. At the University of Kansas, I earned a Bachelor of Science in Journalism from the William Allen White School of Journalism. I also served a year of AmeriCorps where I participated in a vari

I have held informal teaching positions throughout my entire life. I have tutored everything from pre-algebra to Calculus to Piano. I'm currently employed as an after school tutor for middle school students, 6th grade to 8th, and independently tutor on Saturdays. My style is relaxed and informal, but effective. School already provides enough structure, and with a relaxed mind, information can be processed more easily. 1 hour sessions multiple times a week is the best way for the information to sink in.

I don't believe in an unteachable student. One of the greatest pleasures I have in teaching is having a breakthrough with a student that has had difficulty. I believe every student has the possibility to meet and exceed expectations with the right teacher! I believe that not every student is the same. The solution and teaching style that works well with one student may not work at all for another. Additionally, not every student learns things at the same rate. I believe in taking as much time as is necessary to help a student achieve the fantastic results they deserve. From very early on I have been drawn toward teaching. As a student I was a tutor for many of the classes I took. I tutored Chemistry I, Beginner and Intermediate Algebra as well as a number of Accounting classes. When I graduated I immediately began looking for positions that would enable me to teach. I was very lucky to b

I graduated cum laude from Baylor University, in May 2009, with a bachelor's in Professional Writing. My G.P.A. was 3.8 on a 4.0 scale. During my time at Baylor I discovered a love for history, and graduated one class short of a history minor. I worked as an editing transcriptionist at Baylor's Institute for Oral History. Working with Seeds of Hope Publishers, as a volunteer editorial assistant and junior journalist, was also a wonderful opportunity to hone my editing and composition skills. I feel confident and comfortable offering my services in the subjects of English, Composition, History, and Science. Being a big sister has always been my favorite job; therefore, I have always sought out opportunities to mentor. I believe that each child is unique and learns at his or her own pace, and in her or his own special way. Each person understands concepts differently, and I believe that, t
