At the University of Illinois at Chicago I earned a bachelor's of science degree in electrical engineering and worked as a teaching assistant for three sememsters of graduate school. After leaving the university I tutored former students from my labs in math, science, engineering, and programming. I did this as hobby. I enjoy working with students. I am currently helping someone working on a master's degree in computer science. I love teaching. I always get well prepared before I sit down with someone. A couple of hours of preparation beforehand can make the difference between a tedious, unproductive experience and one that encourages the student and makes the excited about learning. I try to help with sticking points and not to lecture. I have discovered that people tend to remember answer to their questions and if I try to explain a deeper meaning it will only bore them and mak

I believe it is very important to be constructive and patient when it comes to teaching. I believe that I am thoughtful, patient, considerate, and compassionate when it comes to teaching. I feel that it is extremely important not to give the student all the answers, but to assist them so they are able to use reasoning to figure out the solutions themselves. I feel that it is very possible that one person can be able to help make an important impact in a students' education. As a graduate of the University of Rochester, I have obtained a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science. Aside from this, I also have a minor in Economics, as well as a concentration in English. Throughout this coursework I have written numerous research papers and essays, and as a result I believe I have very strong written, grammatical, and reading comprehension skills.

Compasionate and understanding. I like to approach the root cause of the problem. All children have the ability to learn, however not all people have the ability to learn using the cookie cutter approach that most schools use. Patience is one of my key attributes. Understanding the child is key to success as a teacher, and I try to follow that rule at all times. I also believe that organization and routine help continue good study habits into the future. I look forward to working with you and your children! I have a tremendous amount of experience working with children of all ages. My passion is teaching and counseling.

As a recent college graduate, I have a fresh idea of what goes on in the mind of a student. I know that there are various techniques that work best for one student over another and an educator must be flexible in molding their teaching style towards these strengths. I have found in my classroom experiences that in order for students to reach their full potential they must have interactions with an educator who shows flexibility, enthusiasm, and an all around interest in the students success. I have a great enthusiasm for learning and spreading knowledge and I try to transfer this enthusiasm to all my students. I make every effort to ensure all my students learn in an environment where they can successfully work towards their learning goals. In being a student the majority of my life, I know what it is like to have educational goals and to work towards them. I have attained 2 bachelor deg

Helping my fellow classmates in high school in math/science .At the University level I helped classmates in math/science/statistics up to and including graduate students papers. While I am a bookworm ,having over 10,000 volumes .I find it much easier as a business person to convey my understanding of numbers and what meaning they can have to you on activities of daily living . As an engineer/carpenter I can keep rearranging the math/ /statistics concepts to make them more useful to your students , as there is more than one way to convey information. I convey concepts by giving examples of the world around us.By asking you how the numbers can be used to do something around the home or school .

I started off college at Mohawk Valley Community College and earned a Liberal Arts and Science degree. I feel that all college students should be well rounded and should take a wide variety of courses. I then enrolled at Utica College to finish my BS degree. Over those two years, I took 18 science courses and most of them were accompanied by labs. It was stressful and difficult but it was something I was determined to complete. I thought I wanted to go to medical school, but later decided against it. Also during my time at Utica College, I conducted medical research with Aspartame and Omeprazole on mice. I spent some time writing these up to be submitted for journals. The instructor and I are on a hiatus from this project. I completed an internship with the Masonic Medical Research lab in the summer of 2006. I worked in the Molecular Genetics Lab. In the summer of 2008, I began working w

I love teaching and spending time with children to ensure their success academically. I am extremely patient and determined to help all children learn at their own pace and in their own way. All children have unique abilities and qualties when it comes to learning. I believe the key is to find each child's individual talent and personal drive to ensure academic success. Children learn differently and a good teacher will tap into the student's unique abilities to make learning interesting and exciting. All children are capable of success when approached positively. As a student in college I began working in Early Childhood Education and continued until recieving my Certification in Elementary Education. I have an AAS in Human Services, a BA in English and Psychology and hold a MA Certificate in Elementary Education. I taught First, Third and Fifth grade for a total of five years before st
