I plan on what fits my students best. Learning should...

...concept, since this is conducive to the student's learning. I am currently in the process of obtaining a Bachelor of Science degree in pure mathematics at Rice University in Houston, Texas. I tutor a wide range of subjects including U.S. History, algebra, calculus, chemistry, comparative politics, economics, and test preparation. Although I enjoy tutoring in all of these subjects, I especially like tutoring math-related subjects such as high school algebra, calculus, and linear algebra. Outside...

...the same, taking material from textbooks, power points, silly videos, or even TV shows to further understanding. I also believe that teaching a concept really helps the learning process. I encourage my students, once they have mastered a topic, to try to teach or explain it to someone else. Being able to do this really means you fully understand. When I am not tutoring, I like to go long boarding or play my electric guitar....

...must also mention I work a great deal in developing the writing skills of my students, especially involving the use of the Six Traits of Writing. In tutoring, I work with a student's most effective style of learning. Anything can be learned if it reaches a student through their best learning modality. I know from experience anyone can and does learn. It is simply a matter of finding your own style, and I can help...

...worked with children since high school and in my last occupation, I worked with children who suffered from behavioral problems. I value education and as part of working with students, I aspire to pass on that passion for education in order to achieve the most that life has to offer. After a long day, I always look forward to coming home to my German Shepherd as she has abundant energy and love.

...any steps for any problems you are facing. You will learn the process of thinking, not just solving. Instead of showing you how to do one single problem at a time, I will show you different ways to look at a problem and figure out the best approach to solve it. I am also bilingual since Spanish is my first language. I can read, speak, and write in Spanish very well and that is another...

...of the things I loved was that I was able to teach a wide variety of subjects from Math to Psychology to History. My favorite subjects are Math, History, and Social Sciences. I grew up in Chicago and recently moved to Phoenix in order to escape the winters and enjoy the sunshine. So far I have not been disappointed. In my free time I practice my trumpet, play ice hockey and volunteer at my local...

...at ASU I had the opportunity to work at the Downtown Student Success Center for two years as a supplemental instructor. Most of my students were pre-med or studying to become nurses. My favorite subject to teach was Anatomy/Physiology, but I also enjoyed most math and sciences courses especially General and Organic Chemistry. In my spare time, I enjoy competing in all types of sports, reading a good book and taking a ride on my...

...the college and high school level, and three years experiences as a high school mathematics teacher, I bring a wealth of personal and professional experience with me. As much as I love mathematics (I can quite literally say I have made it the focus of my entire life!) I am also an amateur wood carver, primarily working with walking and hiking sticks, and I am an intermediate swing dancer, having competed and taught classes across...

...work together to find out what works for you. Learning is not just observation, it is also participation. By engaging students in interactive discussions, I encourage curiosity and intellectual exploration. I help students learn how to think not what to think. By learning to think critically, students are able to maximize their potential to excel in math and science and do well on exams. I am willing to work hard to be the best teacher...

...I received my B.S. in Cognitive Science with a specialization in Neuroscience from the University of California San Diego. Between my undergraduate education and medical school education, I tutored high school students in a variety of subjects, including Algebra, Chemistry, Biology, and Spanish. My favorite subject to tutor is Chemistry, because it is one that students struggle with a lot, and it makes me happy to see a student grasp a concept they have worked...

I have a MEd in Secondary English Education, a Masters in Literature, and 15+ years of tutoring or teaching experience. I believe we all need to find our WHY. Mine is to help students who struggle with English and school. I teach students reading and writing skills, but I also teach them to find the joy in education that is often lost when they struggle.

...reach their potential. I offer flexible hours, I am easy to get along with, and I have effective methods. I take pride in helping others learn. I have a BS in mechanical engineering so there isn't a high school or college math class I haven't taken. I'm a Physics dork as well! Outside of tutoring, I love the outdoors, sports (especially the Cardinals and Suns!), and science-fiction. I look forward to working with you!

I look forward to simplifying learning and making it fun! I am a high school math teacher. I am teaching Geometry and Personal Finance this year, but I have also taught Algebra I, Algebra II, and College Algebra. I also co-teach the SAT and ACT prep courses for my school.

...core is quite rigorous, losing heart early can lead to a snowball effect where a student will have trouble with a new concept because it is directly based on one on which he or she had previously given up. When I tutor, I go out of my way to try to alleviate any anxiety that my pupil might have by emphasizing how logical and consistent math is supposed to be. There's (almost) always only one...

...should be molded around three steps. First, learn and understand the material presented. Second, independent thought is essential to the development of every student. Being able to form unique independent ideas to solve problems is the next step in the formal learning process. Finally, the use of learned concepts in new situations is essential for the student to prove understanding. By using understood information, students should be able to apply what they have learned to...

...and overcome their fears. My time as an instructor has helped me to demystify the learning process and as a life-long learner I have picked up more than a few tricks along the way. Whenever possible I try to break down lessons into their core concepts to form a strong foundation for future progress utilizing repetition, mnemonics, and productive study habits. I want to give my students the tools they need to succeed so that...

My plans include not only finding healthier and safer ways to improve the lifestyles, but inspire others to take charge of their...
