I understand that many students seeking tutors have had years of frustration in math classes. Often, I find that they do not understand the concepts. They are confined to memorization and rote. Students who I teach will learn to appreciate what they are learning. I have had teaching responsibilities since I began graduate school. At SUNY at Buffalo, I was an assistant for courses in calculus of a single variable, multivariable calculus, and linear algebra; at SUNY at Brockport, I was the instructor of a course in basic algebra. Currently, I am a graduate student and adjunct instructor at Binghamton University. I have taught calculus of a single variable - both differential calculus and integral calculus, linear algebra, and a course for liberal arts majors. I have also tutored students in probability and number theory. Throughout these experiences, I have gained an appreciation

Hello! Is your child struggling with the math and science Regents exams? If so, perhaps I can be of help. I am just getting back into the tutoring scene after being on hiatus for a few years to develop my professional career. I graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 2013 (current age: 28) with a degree in Chemical Engineering, and by day, I currently work as an industrial engineer in the Horseheads-Elmira area. I have worked as a private tutor off and on since I was in high school (2005-2009). While I have taken a full spectrum of math and science courses in the past, I believe my best strength in tutoring is in helping with Regents preparation. Unlike more difficult exams such as the AP, I strongly believe that the Regents are very beatable tests. They’re not filled with trick questions, but rather, test your ability on a very specific set of ideas. As a private tutor,

Having graduated from a Masters in the Arts of Teaching (Adolescent Science - Physics) program in the summer of 2009, I am not only well versed in the structure of New York State Regents Exams but am also up to date with many modern teaching and assessment techniques. I have had two student teaching placements, a year and a half of substitute teaching, and numerous experiences tutoring math and science to individuals and groups both professionally and as a volunteer since 2003. Further, having a Bachelor’s of Science in Materials Science and Engineering, I have also had experience with the applications and tools of math and science in varied contexts such as medicine, engineering, computer science, communications, forensics, and others. It is my goal that the efforts of students produce more then just good grades. I assess their needs, the way they think, and what ends they may apply

I am interested in tutoring because I love teaching regardless of the subject matter. I’ve been lucky enough to be given the opportunity to try several different content areas such as Special Education 7th grade Science in a Push-In model, ESOL, Home and Careers, Career and Financial Management as well as substitute teaching in many areas K-12, in addition to teaching technology in multiple districts. My background as a manufacturing engineer gives me a vantage point of what is required in the real world for success and survival in the working world. Even though teaching is my second career, it is truly what I love to do. Working one to one with students to help them find success in school, while enjoying learning, is my personal goal. Once in a classroom I realized that I was meant to teach. I love working with students who are challenging and those who challenge me. I believe that I ca

I have taught high school math for over twelve years. I tutor math and chemistry students. I hold degrees in engineering (BS Civil Engineering, MS Environmental Engineering) and education (MA Educational Administration). My engineering training has taught me the level of hands-on mathematics required to succeed in college degree programs. I strive to prepare all my students for success at this level. Good mathematical mechanics must be augmented by a thorough conceptual understanding. I excel at identifying and correcting student deficiencies. To serve students in a tutorial setting, I first determine a student's current level of understanding. As specific gaps in understanding are identified, targeted instruction is used to fill in those gaps. Many times work on fundamental concepts or mechanics is required to achieve true and lasting success in the content area. Students that

During my time at the Rochester Institute of Technology, I was a student grader while working towards my B.S. in Computational Mathematics. I obtained my degree with Highest Honors, and an overall GPA of 3.88. I graded mostly college algebra and early calculus. I was required to do the same homework and quizzes the students did, and create answer keys. Then, I would go through each problem and either give full credit for a correct answer and work, or partial credit if needed. By following their work, I was able to see where they made mistakes, and write in notes on what they needed to do. I will be returning to RIT for a second bachelor’s degree, in Industrial Engineering, which also requires a strong math background. As a tutor, I will examine the student’s work process and correct them where they start to go wrong. One of the reasons I did so well in school was because I always

Even as a student i helped my fellow students to understand and grasp the subjects they were having difficulty with. i can generaly spinn the information into a subject matter that interests the individual or just explain it in an easier to understand manner, offted they just get lolst in the language of teaching. i minnored in math, and majorred in science and agriculture in high school, ansd took veternary technology in colledge this involved mostly biologies and lab technigues. i have never taught professionaly, but have assisted fellow students. the methods i useed to help them were ither to incorporate the subject matter into a sumject that they had a personal interest in, or manny time i found that they just didnot understand the language of the subject so i reexplained it in simpler terms and they got it just fine.

After my first year teaching in Micronesia, I developed a true passion for teaching. I loved being in the classroom and working with children. I have developed patience and leadership qualities through teaching experience and coaching youth soccer. I am a practical teacher and like to use real life problems to help students understand the material. I like to relate the material to students interests. I have a deep understanding of mathematics and physics developed through a rigorous biomedical engineering curriculum. I also minored in optics which enhanced my skills in math and physics. After university I volunteer taught with the non-profit WorldTeach. I spent one year in Micronesia teaching high school mathematics. The following year I continued to volunteer with WorldTeach in Colombia.

I have worked really hard in my life to acheive the success I am enjoying now. I am originally from India and as many of us are aware India is churning out advanced degree individuals at a lightening pace. The educational system I grew up in was a very hard and intense system compared to the US standards, I personally feel for America to be competetive the education system should improve to competetive levels with countries like India and China. I have an extensive background in sciences (physics, chemistry and biology)and math, and since I never used a calculator till I was in college most of my approaches are tricks and tips which are very easy to undertsand and apply. I am patient and understanding, if students have questions, I will go out of my way to help them grasp the concept. I love teaching, because I think there is always a hard way to learn things and an easy way, it all

I have just obtained my master's degree in Materials Science from University of Rochester, NY, and I got my bachelor's degree in Applied Physics in Shandong University at Weihai, China. I can tutor physics, math, chemistry, and Chinese for high/middle/elementary school students. And I have two tutoring experience. 2006 summer, tutor a girl with elementary math. 2007 summer, tutor a group of middle school and high school students physics and math. Firstly, I usually made a plan according to the total tutoring time. Then, I taught the kids using standard class books and assigned them some homework after class. And when necessary, gave exams to test whether they have made progress.
