I like to build a relationship with each student and find out what type of learner he/she is and use methods which will help a child succeed. I believe that a student is not going to be motivated unless he or she is connected with the material. I try to find their interest and strengths and help them make those connections. I like...

Outside of class and tutoring, I enjoy golfing,...

...real world examples that can help my students really understand. Personally, I learn best when I can receive the information from multiple sources. So when I teach, I like to do 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...

...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 tool I have at my disposal if necessary for explaining any types of concepts.

...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.

In my free time I practice my trumpet, play ice hockey and volunteer at my local animal...

In my spare time, I enjoy competing in all types of sports, reading a good book and...

...private tutoring experience at both 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.

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 can to guide students through the challenges they will encounter when studying chemistry and...

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 hard to understand. I believe that there...

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.

...to have been a singular experience early in that person's education which robbed him or her of the necessary confidence to really feel comfortable with the subject. Because math at its 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...

...basis for careers I have chosen. Here is a little of my Philosophy of Teaching..... Learning is, of course, the main purpose of education. I feel that the concept of learning 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,...

Working as an instructor while attending classes taught me how valuable a student's time is and showed me how difficult balancing work, school, and family can be.

Currently, I am residing in Arizona in the next phase of my academic journey. Looking back,...
