Let the young teach the young

Even though I am young, I do know how to convey teaching skills with the "up-to-date" mind set of today's generation. The main experience I have is helping fellow school mates and family with the problems they are having with school work. I did finish high school with a diploma. I have been to many schools and have had many teachers. I have been able to learn many techniques of solving a single problem.
I am fun and relaxed, but know how to get down to the point. I make my teaching easy to understand.

My comments on tutoring ACT : chemistry and math

I received a B.S. in Chemistry and an minor in Mathematics and eventually took enough hours to hold a teaching certificate to teach secondary Math and Science. I taught Chemistry for 16 of my 19 years and also Math, Physics, and Digital Electronics for a few years. I learned a great deal about various teaching modalities through my years of teaching and I believe I can be a successful tutor in Chemistry. Presently, I am enrolled in a Masters program in IT/Project Management and the knowledge I have gained in this program will help me in the area of tutoring. I find nothing better than seeing a student succeed.
I understand that everyone learns differently. I learn best through visual and hands on , yet I know a large number of people learn orally. I have developed through my 19 years of teaching experiences ways to teach to all the different types of learning styles. While I ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I worked at Moorpark College as an ESL and Writing Tutor, helping students discover ways to identify and clarify ideas, refine a topic, outline ideas, and develop the skills needed to work independently. I have my BA from Scripps College in both English and History. I have significant experience tutoring within the humanities, but also German, math and the sciences. I started college as a Biology major, so I have a firm grounding in mathematics and the sciences, which I have bolstered to prepare for graduate school in Architecture. I was a Jumpstart (AmeriCorps) team leader, which involved implementing early childhood curriculum and promoting skill building for at-risk preschool children.
I have helped children prepare for preschool through games and activities, and community college students brainstorm ideas for transfer essays. I am very organized, responsible and trustworthy. I ... read more

As a former Associate Professor of Middle East History at the Air Force Academy, I had the privilege of teaching cadets in World, Middle East, and Military History. Last year I taught cadets English.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a PhD in Microbiology and dual majored in college to obtain a BS in both Biomedical Science and Health Chemistry. As a result, I have a wealth of knowledge in the areas of science and mathematics. I also have extensive experience writing and editing grant proposals and research papers and understand well the mechanics of the English language. I have mentored numerous colleagues in areas ranging from biological and chemical concepts to experimental techniques to presentation of results in my 14-year career as a laboratory scientist.
I enjoy sharing knowledge of science with people of all ages. Many people find science to be intimidating, but I believe that once a person gets past the vocabulary barrier, the concepts of science are less overwhelming. One of my strengths is distilling scientific knowledge from the incomprehensible to concepts that anyone can understand. Most pe ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am a recent college graduate who plans to attend medical school at some point in the future. In completing my pre-medicine requirements, I successfully completed a large number of science courses. I am also interested in writing and editing and I often assisted younger students with their papers throughout college. During the spring semester of 2006 and 2007, I was a teaching assistant for the chemistry department at St. Olaf College. My duties included setting up laboratory experiments, preparing to teach concepts relevant to those experiments, assisting students with questions, and grading their work.
I have realized that the best test of whether you understand something is to be able to teach it successfully to another person. Though being prepared is not a direct part of the tutor-student interaction, it is absolutely necessary for the tutor to be prepared far beyond the basi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Essential to learning is an environment that allows students to personalize and experiment with new-found knowledge, to enjoy the learning experience and to know that their instructor cares about their progress. Teaching methods are always tailored to student needs, and to meaningful activities for each student’s life and goals; activities engage students' cross-disciplinary and leisure interests, as well as their unique personalities and learning styles. We learn to “survive” in a second language, to make friends and talk about daily activities; and we learn to raise the level (written and oral) to academic and professional needs in both linguistic and social aspects of the culture.
I have taught and tutored second languages (French and Spanish) and English here and abroad with every age level, (including K-12, university and continuing education classes), have served as Director ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As an educator with a BA in English and an MA in Education, I have dedicated my life to teaching. I have a passion for all types of literature and writing. As a result, I have taught high school English for 12 years and expository writing at the University of New Mexico in the evening for nine years. During that time, I earned an administrative license qualifying me to be a principal. Instead of immediately becoming an administrator, I moved to Alaska with my husband for several years and explored the wild outdoors. I have moved back to the lower 48, and I have returned to education as a substitute teacher. My qualifications as an English instructor and tutor remain in tact.
I love to patiently impart my knowledge with curious students one-on-one or in a group. I encourage individuals to do their best and show each person how to take personal interest in his or her work, particul ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a bachelor degree in Chemistry from Colorado College and I have also taken a large number of math courses at the undergraduate level (Calculus 1, 2, and 3, Linear Algebra, number theory, and mathematical models in biology). I have worked as a college tutor for 2 years while completing my degree and I currently teach middle school science.
I believe in inquiry based learning where students learn new things by forming questions that they want to answer. When working on a problem I encourage students to come up with questions that they want to answer, to make lists of things they need to know, and then to think of an attack plan to complete the math or science problem. I am an extremely patient teacher and I work hard to make sure that every concept is understood before moving onto the next one. I believe that each student learns differently and I am very willing to tailor my t ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

At the outset of the personal computer revolution I sold and supported Tandy computers. As part of the support function I instructed clients in the use of their computers. A whole new world blossomed for me. Teaching clients to use their computers turned out to be a long term and very rewarding experience. During my thirteen years as The Computer Tutor I encountered a multitude of student learning difficulties. By working with the individual students, creative solutions were structured and successfully executed. Tutoring the non-traditional students to achieve their goals was by far the greatest reward. Their resulting change in demeanor was very heart warming. What more can a teaching professional ask? Having a very positive impact on a student’s life and be paid for it.
Three teachers impacted my life not only as a result of the content of their classes but in their d ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

While teaching at a charter school for at-risk students, I have worked with all levels of academic abilities as well as behavioral issues. I believe in different learning styles and tailoring instruction to the student’s interest and abilities. Not everyone learns in the same way or at the same speed, but everyone can learn.
I have been teaching at a charter school for at-risk students for 10 years. I have taught both English and History, as well as administered all required state testing. In 2005 while I was one of two English teachers in the school, my school won the Gains Maker Award for three years of continuous improvement in writing. Also, I have a Master’s Degree in Curriculum & Instruction. I have worked with all levels of academic abilities as well as behavioral issues.
