...teaching career began in 1995 at Broward Community College in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I taught Algebra there, as I have almost every year since: 5 years at college, 6 years middle school, and 7 years high school, here in Connecticut. At the middle school, I served as the head of the math department, IT, and SSAT testing, including English, verbal, and more. Along the way, I taught every math course from 5th Grade to Calculus....

Hello, my name is Sue, and I have been a mathematics educator since 1985 in public schools and community colleges. My current position as a full-time high school math tutor keeps me up-to-date on every level and topic of the high school math curriculum, from PreAlgebra though Beginning Calculus.

...in many different capacities. While I don't think I'm the smartest person, or that I'm the most gifted, one thing I am exceptional at is seeing patterns. This has allowed me to assimilate teaching styles and methods from others and use them as my own. It has allowed me to look at other leaders in the school and pull from different leadership qualities and traits. It is from the people around me and the people...

I also play for the UConn Mens Rugby team. My favorite thing about math is relating it to things that...

...courses through the University of Hawaii and the University of California. I also spent a great deal of time reading literary classics, as well as books on history, science, music and art.

...others out. I feel that knowing a subject and knowing how to teach said subject can be quite different. Being able to relate to different types of people and understanding different learning styles is extremely important and listening for comprehension, as a teacher/tutor, is a necessary skill that I don't see enough of. Knowing how crucial it is, I try my best to really listen and understand the learners point of view in order to...

...really enjoy teaching others what I know related to science, mathematics, and physics. Science is an exact way to describe how the world works and a way to explore opportunities to make it better. The reason I enjoy sharing what I know is that I also refresh myself, and in the process I get to meet new people and create new connections with people who share similar interests, which is most rewarding.

...them insight on what that person can truly do is intrinsically rewarding. I want to continue tutoring people in the hopes that those students will truly understand the topics they are learning and, if they are truly invested in their studies, understand who they are as individuals and what paths they want to take in their lives. Personally, I found it hard to know what you want to do for the rest of your life...

I strive to be the best version of myself in my professional and personal life, and I hope to pass on that goal to future generations. My first opportunity to teach was in the U.S. Navy where I was tasked with instructing junior sailors on the specifics of our job, and the day-to-day routines. Further opportunities came in college where I tutored in the Math Center at CCSU for two semesters.

Learning is an ongoing process. As a tutor it is my goal to help take information and make it "real" for the learner. In this way theory becomes practical information that can help one grow. Aside from helping others understand concepts, I enjoy anime, sports (basketball & skateboarding), and learning new things myself.

...tutoring style involves lots of questions. I love asking questions to pull prior knowledge out of students, to teach them to utilize the "tools in their toolbox" to solve the problem. They have the knowledge; it is my job to bring them that confidence to pick the right tools to do the job. I love being active! I love to walk, hike, and roller blade. I also like to do strength training. I am a...

I am a sophomore biology major at the University of Pittsburgh. I have experience tutoring during high school and really enjoy working with others and explaining complex topics. My best subjects are math and science in which I have done well in through high school and college. Additionally, I have experience with preparing for and taking AP tests and SATs. I would be more than happy to help with those areas as well!

I don't think there is such thing as a "smart" person. Anyone can learn anything through hard work and persistence. Network Specialist at Connecticut On-line Computer Center. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute B.S. Computer and Systems Engineer, Class of 2016.

...my true love, Engineering. That's when I discovered that my photographic memory sometimes played tricks on me, which made it hard to get the right answers. I want to save my students from the agony of unnecessary failure. While employed as a machine tool builder, I learned that high-school and middle-school children in town were interested in radio and electronics. We promptly formed a club, cannibalizing old TV sets for parts. I helped guide these...

I served as the lead undergraduate tutor for thermodynamics and strength of materials while studying Mechanical Engineering at RPI. I am interested in tutoring high school students in Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry.

...still in the process of achieving my bachelor's degree in engineering, and I also hope to achieve a minor degree in mathematics, which after my undergraduate level, I will go into graduate level to pursue mathematics. I like to tutor students in various aspect of mathematics because, I just like them, had someone in my early life help me understand that mathematics isn't something to be afraid of but rather an impressing way of expressing...

My teaching strategy is active, in-depth learning, which promotes the problem solving and collaborative learning capabilities of my students. The tools I use to implement my strategies are homework assignments, paper assignments, quizzes, and the think-pair-share technique.
