A Little Bit About Me...

I have been a substitute teacher in the surrounding school districts. In all school districts I have worked with children from many different backgrounds. My Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and my Master's degree as a certified Reading Specialist, not only provided me with the knowledge to teach students who were struggling with the basic reading skills, but also helped to enhance my skills as a reading teacher within a regular classroom. This also enabled me with the skills necessary to teach children of various ages and abilities. My strong tutoring skills were acquired while tutoring children who had been struggling with the basic subjects. Also, I tutored students who were considered at risk of dropping out of school.
I enjoy working with children and helping them succeed in their growth and development. I think that teachers can either positively or negatively inf ... read more

Teaching is something that has always come natural to me. Whether its giving golf lessons out at the local country club, or teaching my younger siblings math and chemistry. It is something that I enjoy and I will persist until results are shown. My teaching style is to first observe, then diagnose flaws and work from there. I have much faith in the capability of the human brain and believe each individual is capable of greatness. Thus, I never give up on any student and trust that they too will be able to do or learn what I have.
As a graduate of the Department of Engineering at Vanderbilt University, I feel I am very qualified in tutoring Calculus 1 and 2. Not only have I taken the classes both in high school and during my time at Vanderbilt, the engineering curriculum reinforced these theories by integrating Calculus into nearly every core class that I took. My degree taught me h ... read more

As a Substitute Teacher, Capital Area Intermediate Unit, I taught a variety of courses in mathematics and science in several school districts. As an adjunct Chemistry professor (Shippensburg University 2007 to present) I was the primary instructor for a section of general chemistry laboratory course as well as a section of chemistry for non science majors.
I value helping students learn difficult material. Mathematics and hemistry are two of the most difficult subject areas in which a student can study. I recognize this and will use many examples and problems to illustrate the concepts. My main goal is to encourage independent thinking and logical reasoning to augment their problem solving skills, thus encouraging them to do more than just memorize Due

As an online graduate at Kaplan University, I quickly became aware of my priorities. Students seeking help often emailed other classmates for assistance. I was often told there were very few students who responded to their emails; however, I was one of them. I earned my Associate degree through Allegany College of Maryland. I enjoyed ... read more

More About This Tutor...

In 12 years as a high school teaching assistant, I have worked primarily with individual students in a wide range of subjects ranging from art, literature and history, to science and mathematics. This has provided me with interpersonal skills and a pool of knowledge that will be invaluable in a tutoring setting. Flexibility is a necessary skill in an educational system. As a teaching assistant, I must constantly stay well organized under changing conditions and perform a wide range of assignments with confidence. I have to communicate effectively with students who have a wide variety of interests and intellectual capabilities. My calm, soft-spoken nature has been an asset in working with an individual student without disturbing others.
With a Bachelor degree in Chemistry my educational background is very strong in Math and Science. I have spent the last fifteen years in the high s ... read more

With all of my experience and education, I have had the opportunity to work with all facets of children; from those who require a great deal of help, to those who might just need a little more challenge then what their work was providing them. Having worked with large and diverse groups of children I have assisted in English, math, science, and social studies from grade school to high school. I am very dedicated and passionate about what I do; therefore the goal of the child would become my goal; only ending in accomplishment.
Not every method works for every child; with one exception, patience. I demonstrate and exemplify patience. If a child feels as though they are in an atmosphere where they are safe, free of ridicule and bias, then they are willing to perform. This process can be a give take scenario however. So, some flexibility is required as well, but eventually the stude ... read more

As a holder of a Bachelor's in Social Work, I have a great deal of experience mentoring and tutoring students of various ages and abilities. I have worked with adult learners and high school age students with disabilities. I have a strong background in English and Grammar due to an extensive amount of college level paper writing.

I love teaching and interacting with students of all ages and ability levels. I believe that each person is unique and receives information in a unique way.

First, in order for the students to best understand the material, I break it down to their level. For subjects like math, it is simple to develop a step by step method for the students to write down and follow. Once the students have mastered the steps they are motivated to continue with the material because it seems straightforward. It is also important to have the students connect to the material; if they understand how the information is used in every day life then they will become more excited and motivated to learn. Once the students have a firm understanding of the information, they are assigned independent problems. These problems will help the students begin to think on their own and in turn own the material.
In college, I tutored grammar school, high school and college students in various math and science courses. Subjects included algebra, calculus, chemistry, and p ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am currently an undergraduate student enrolled at Harrisburg University. I will be graduating in December 2010 with a BS in Biotechnology. I have extensive composition skills which I have acquired through writing research papers, laboratory reports, and essays in multiple fields of study.

I have tutored students in English, psychology, chemistry, biology, anatomy, Spanish, biotechnology, genetics, and calculus.
School is my passion and my goal is to help students reach their maximum potential. It has been my experience that students often dislike subjects in which they do not excel. It is my goal to help students overcome their learning challenges and find the same passion I do in education. I am patient, considerate, and have a sense o ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I recently graduated from Bard College, a selective liberal arts school in New York. I have taken classes in a variety of subjects including biology, french, history, and writing. I recently completed a 90 page thesis. I have excellent critical thinking and writing skills, which have served me well as a student. As a tutor, I strive to engage my students in thinking complexly about the topic at hand. I have experience tutoring middle school aged children in music, math, and writing. I also have experience working with preschool aged children.
I believe that learning through hands-on experience is the best way to fully comprehend material. I want to interest students in academics. To accomplish this, a teacher must show how math, or reading is useful; how anything can be exciting. I want to make learning fun. And I use a variety of tactics to accomplish this.

More About This Tutor...

I am currently a mid-career scientist who is looking to transition into the teaching profession. I have tutored high school and college students for several years in chemistry, algebra, physics, and geometry. I have a BS in Chemistry and have taken additional coursework in chemistry and education. I have extensive experience as a chemist working in the laboratory, and have several published research articles in the field.
My goal in teaching is to help students understand how the scientific process affects them on a personal level. I try to connect science and mathematics to the world around them by helping them to understand science in the context of other disciplines, including art and politics. Furthermore, I draw on my experience in environmental and pharmaceutical laboratories to increase interest in the coursework.
