...three different ways, always striving to connect the new information to established knowledge. If singing a song or building a Lego model or standing on my head will help make that connection, I will gleefully dive into untraditional methods to make an impact on a student. Across maths and sciences, I aim to have my students understand the WHY behind a process, not just the HOW, which creates a foundation for future knowledge instead of...

...because it is often a subject that students dislike, and through working with them I have been able to help many appreciate that math is needed every day, and is not as daunting as it seems. When I was in school, I didn’t know how to ask for help when I was having trouble understanding the information we were learning. I still managed to earn high grades every year, but there were several moments of...

...while another student may learn best from a more hands on approach such as practice problems. I love helping students understand a concept that they previously struggled with. It gives you a good feeling to know that you have helped and could possibly have an impact on this child's or teenager's education experience. I absolutely love animals. I read in my spare time. I enjoy spending time with friends and family. If you feel that...

...experience has been amazing. Working with the adult students has been so much fun that it doesn't seem like work most of the time.

...of the students there were smart but had behavioral characteristics that hindered their learning process. I started as a teacher aide but enjoyed it so much that I decided to become certified. I chose to receive my certification in grades 4-8 in all content areas. My personal belief is that these are those most critical times of a students educational career. My desire to want to become a counselor blossomed in those first four years....

...I don't see tutoring as a means to finding an answer, but rather an opportunity to learn and visualize the problems and learn more about the problems themselves. I have always enjoyed math because it is one of the only subjects that you can always prove your answer to be correct with concrete evidence. I am a very patient person and won't give up on my students because I know that everyone is capable of...

...their challenges and academic shortcomings with the assurance that they would not be judged. Furthermore, I wanted them to know that we would work to find a viable solution to the challenge before us. This mission has proved be quite successful. I have worked with students in grades K-12 on writing, reading, and occasionally math instruction. Far more often than not, the outcome has been successful. It has been successful because I worked to create...

...or struggling to master a new concept, as a teacher it is my job to be the fertilizer, to help them get pass whatever difficulties they may face. As a tutor I strive to be that same support. My students will do more than memorize information, they will learn and take ownership of the material. With hard work and resilience I believe anything can me mastered, and I will work with my students till they...

...but I also wish to stress the engineering part - I'm very practical. I am a big fan of the KISS principle, and am a big fan of efficiency, not just in technologies, but in our understanding and use of them. Over time, that has made me an efficient mentor, able to explain and expand understanding of questions without creating overreaching or false simplifications. Over the years, I've held several mentoring roles - as a...

...has been my privilege in that time to watch students grow in their confidence and ability. I began tutoring by helping other students in my high school classes. In college, I worked as a private math and physics tutor with the Physics department at the University of Houston. I was then hired by the engineering Department to help fellow student maintain high GPA's and academic eligibility. Subjects ranged from remedial algebra to calculus. I have...

...things about tutoring; that: * Effective tutoring is usually as much about mentoring as it is about teaching. * There should be no limits to the creativity that the tutor is prepared to bring to the table in helping a student (going beyond the presentation of black letters or numbers on a white page). * In addition to solidifying basic skills, it's critically important to build up a student's creativity, confidence, and resilience, in moving...

...each student has his or her own strengths and weaknesses. This allows me to use practice problems from trusted resources along with problems that I craft on my own to ensure that the student's weak points are properly tended.

Since my freshmen year in college,...

I work diligently to ensure that...

...I've used my lifelong passion for math and problem solving to obtain my Master's degree in Computer Science, but I know that without a solid background in math and reading, my advanced degree would have been difficult to achieve. I prefer students to understand, from their unique point of view, why 1+1=2, why x*y=z or why "knock" only has one 'k' sound. Kids have a lot going on in their academic and personal lives, so I...
