Algebra I Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Weston, CT

I have a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a minor in Chemistry. I love being able to help students feel comfortable with the material they are studying. I have tutored numerous times throughout college, and would like to get back into tutoring students because I find it to be rewarding. As a student who went from living in Germany and being taught that there are many ways of getting the right answer, to moving to America where everything is taught in one way, I have learned to incorporate my tutoring skills to the need of each individual student. I try to figure out what works best for every individual and help them focus on their strength and improve their weaknesses. My teaching style depends on the student. I am comfortable with trying different study methods in order to figure out why my student is having trouble with a particular subject.

In Algebra 1, students are really learning the" art of problem solving". Compared to previous math, problems get more complicated, both in structure and presentation. Logic skills are required, in addition to the arithmetic skills taught up to this point. Complications arise when the foundational math is not strong, and/or there is difficulty in understanding the questions (often presented as word problems). Whether you need remedial help, or are looking to get ahead, I can help! I have been told I can explain concepts in a way that is easy to understand and easy to remember. Starting with your current math, and going back as far as needed, we build skill and confidence in algebra 1. I have proven strategies and have helped many. One client said it best, "It's simple. My daughter's grade went from D's and C's to A's. Diane knows how to help kids learn and do well in school." Please take

If help is needed in an AP class, a textbook or the Princeton Review book of that subject is needed.

I've been tutoring math for three years. I explain the solution slowly and clearly, also give some similar example for student to practice. The only way to improve the math is keeping doing practice. Once you are familiar with the rule of that kind question, you will not be afraid to face math any more.

Former Math professor.... There are three important things that seem very simple that I have learned about tutoring. a) Everyone is scared So much of learning is about dealing with these really harmful notions of self-doubt. I know a guy with a Nobel prize - really, a made in Sweden genuine Nobel prize and he claims that he wrestles with self-doubt when he learns something new. Sometimes my job as tutor is just to get rid of the self-doubt and assure you that you are making progress towards understanding. b)Most of the learning takes place in these short "Aha!" moments and they might be only seconds away. Teaching is really about facilitating learning. The key to good teaching is to find the obstacles, misunderstandings, irrelevancies, etc that are stopping you from the moment of clarity when the subject opens up and you say "That's it?". Sometimes people quit trying when the

I am very patient and I make sure the student thoroughly understands a topic before moving on. I motivate the student to succeed and teach good study skills and test taking skills. Normally, I use the student's textbooks and classroom materials during our lessons. For standardized tests, I use prep books, such as Princeton Review. Students do best when they are encouraged and receive positive feedback. My students are extremely satisfied after our lessons, and I receive wonderful feedback from children and adults I tutor. For the past 10 years I have been tutoring, working with students and helping them in various subjects. I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Binghamton University, SUNY in 2005. My GPA was 3.8, and I was on Dean's list every semesterOne of the subjects I tutor is college statistics and a student of mine went from an F to a B. Also, I prepare students for SATs/ACT, and my la

Teaching through example. I will not do your work for you, but rather show you the roadmap to success and see that you follow the proper steps. 1st 30 min lesson is FREE! Throughout my career and also my time in school, I have always been able to not only achieve success in various levels of mathematics, but also articulate to others through teaching and working through examples so that they can achieve similar success and have a clearer understanding of how to complete their work independently. I also have over 25 years of chess experience, including both playing and teaching. I was taught at the high school level by someone who has coached many individuals and teams to various local, state and national championship victories. I also run an annual Sudoku seminar locally, where I walk through examples of puzzles with full crowd participation, and discuss tips and tricks to get you

My teaching style is show the child what they have to do and then have them do it with my help and then have them do it without my help. I have been working with children both in the classroom and out to excel their knowledge of mathematics. I have been a tutor, a teacher aide, and have student taught at the high school and elementary level. I have both experience in one on one tutoring as well as group (5+). Group tutoring is always been something that I like due to the other children helping each other out. Student to student teaching is something that I believe highly in and have learned a lot about this with a program called AVID tutors.
