I have been a private math tutor since 2008. I have been a tutor for WinShape Homes since 2008 as well. I taught math at a Unity Christain School from 2097-2008. I taught pre-algebra, algebra, algebra II, geometry, and Precalculus. I taught remedial math for 2 semesters at Shorter University, and I taught in the adult education program teaching GED math at GA Northwestern Technical College. I have a gift for working with students who struggle. I know where they are going to trip up and I am prepared to answer the questions that they do not even know they will have! I know at least 3 or 4 different ways to explain different concepts so if your student does not understand one way, I have another way. I like to use manipulatives, worksheets, and other supplements when time permits. Once I learn what type of learner your student is I will gear the sessionsnd my teaching approach to the way t

I have taught for a total of 15 years at Arab High School. I have taught the following in the classroom setting, but I have tutored for even longer in all subjects that I indicated. Algebra I (A and B split also) Geometry Algebra II (with and without Trig) Analytical Pre-Cal Algebraic Connections I am a very laid back person, but also very disciplined when it comes to my instruction. If there is not a certain level of comfort and respect between the student and teacher, no learning will take place. I care deeply about the success of my students and try to go above and beyond to show them that I am invested in them completely, not just in their math studeies.

While growing up the motto “if it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing right” was instilled in me. This has proven to be a motivating factor that has pushed me to excel in school and life. I realize that each individual has their own learning style, and I am flexible in motivating my students to help them excel in their own way. I feel that every student can become more familiar with the material being taught with one-on-one sessions helping to make a more clear understanding of the subject matter. As an engineering graduate, I know that hard work, dedication, and diligent study habits are often required to succeed in school. These qualities are some that if carried on throughout life will help to always achieve excellence. I graduated from Mississippi State University with a bachelor degree in biomedical engineering. I graduated with a 3.6 GPA, which allowed me to walk with honors. Throughou

With so many years teaching middle school students in classrooms, I specialize in crafting just the right learning environment for students, emotionally safe but a little push outside their intellectual comfort zone. This is achieved through patience, clarity of thought, and modeling a sense of wonder about the world. I have worked with students who receive special education services as well as gifted students, and am adept at differentiating content and delivery to best promote comprehension and retention. Finally, everyone learns best when they feel like they are having fun and making their own discoveries--it's my job to ensure this sense of adventure is part of students' educational experience, offering ever more motivation to learn. With 7 years of international and U.S-based teaching, tutoring, and training experience, I am at ease teaching multiple subjects to individuals and enti

As a McGill University graduate, I was very driven to excel in my science based courses. I have earned a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics and Chemistry which has enabled me to gain a thorough understanding in many areas of math and science. For the past few years I have enjoyed spending my time tutoring youth and young adults in basic science, mathematics and in the French language, and teaching adults the English language. For a few years I have also had the opportunity to tutor young children in French and music. I love teaching and working with children of all ages and abilities. I'm a firm believer in creative learning through fun and interesting activities. I am also a firm believer that everyone learns at different paces and through different means: using visual, auditory, and tactile learning to find what works best. I am patient and understanding and strive to find the best

Effective teaching involves making sure that the student stays engaged in the learning process. Incorporating different teaching tools such as videos, figures, and real life examples not only enhances the likelihood of the student “getting” the material but also increases their probability of actually retaining it. Seeing the material from different angles serves as an excellent means of reinforcement. Patience is extremely necessary in working with someone to help him or her reach his or her highest potential. Hence, I am here to foster a specialized learning plan that best suits the student’s need. Throughout my years of employment, I have had significant experience in the areas of science and medicine. Currently, I am an Anatomy and Physiology instructor at a community college. My laboratory experience includes being a laboratory technician for BioLife Plasma Services and resear

I served both as a tutor at the Center of Teaching and Learning (CTL) and as an academic peer advisor for the college of Arts and Sciences at the University of Alabama. At the university, i gave lectures in science courses including chemistry, physics, and mathematics. I know when a student is confused or bored and i know how to change the teaching style to keep them focused. More importantly, i relate scientific concepts to everyday activities which have proven to be very effective in the art of teaching. I obtained a bachelor of science in chemistry from the University of Alabama. But more importantly, i was deeply involved with cutting-edge scientific research throughout my undergraduate experience. In essence, I didn't just study to pass my exams, I studied to understand the material so that I can be able to teach someone else. I have also tutored introductory physics I and II at the

I have a passion for learning as well as sharing my knowledge with others. I obtained a BA in Mathematics and am currently working on MAT in Mathematics. While in college I was part of a tutoring/mentoring program and helped my peers with math. I also had an opportunity to prepare high school students for the Alabama Grad Exam during a summer session with the Upward Bound Program. I currently help children in my community with any problems they may face in mathematics. Teaching has been a desire of mine since I taught math at a local high school for two years. I am a firm believer in giving accurate, detailed information and being prepared for any questions that someone may have. I don't expect everyone to learn at the same pace, and I make sure that I provide various methods to solving certain problems. I believe that anything is possible, even learning Math.

I have had two years experience as a Graduate Teaching Assistant at the University of Alabama - Huntsville (U.A.H.), where I worked as both an instructor and a tutor. My tutoring experience ranged from assisting in computer-aided mathematics courses (Remedial and Pre-Calculus Algebras) to working in the tutoring lab (Business Maths, Pre-Calculus Trigonometry, Calculus sequence). As an instructor, I taught the Pre-Calculus Trigonometry recitation courses, which helped students in the lecture sessions with the reinforcement of problem-solving skills and conceptual knowledge. I have both a M.S. and a B.S. in Mathematics from U.A.H., graduating with honors with my undergraduate degree. Patient, understanding, and thorough would be the three words I would use to describe my teaching style. I am patient, because I understand that with a subject like Math, one has to know that it may take a

I have a BA and MS degree in Psychology, which required me to gain an advanced understanding of statistics and mathematics. As a substitute teacher for Shelby County, I frequently substituted for high school math teachers and assisted students in understanding their algebra assignments. I also have 3 years experience working as an income tax preparer. Lastly, I have knowledge of various software packages on both Apple and PC computer systems. I love to see the light-bulb go on inside as children grasp material they are struggling with. At first, I teach and watch to see their facial expressions and comprehension in order to figure out what they are struggling with. Then, I approach the topic from a different way, tailored to their specific struggles. I continue to reassess their comprehension and approach the topic from different angles until I break through. Take algebra, for example. O
