I encourage all of my students to ask plenty of questions whenever they are...

...extensive experience in the classroom as a Jumpstart Corps Member taught me to adapt my teaching style to each childs needs. While some learned better through mnemonics and letter-to-word associations, others preferred to process information and teach content back to me themselves. The greatest lesson I've learned as a tutor is to first step back and let a student tell me their goals, show me how they take in information, and point me in the...

I've spent lots of time in academia, either as a student, teacher, or staffer, and would love to help you achieve your goals through tutoring. In each meeting with students, my goal is to try to undercover and describe the general ideas lurking underneath test questions. Once students learn to recognize these ideas and understand them, it's like a key that undoes the lock for future test questions, no matter how trickily they're written.

...home to broaden their horizons. I believe that every willing student is capable of grasping the material. However, it is crucial that the teacher finds an effective way to communicate the material to the student in a teaching method which is catered towards the student's learn abilities.

...have the prerequisite depth of knowledge and experiences in educational settings necessary to tutor all students. My emphasis as a teacher is the learning of the process rather than simply the product. Ensuring that the students have a deep understanding of the content will allow them to succeed more than simply teaching them a trick for getting the correct answer. Setting your expectations high will result in students reaching higher than they could have before.

...age; there we develop an appreciation for education, because for many of us, being educated may be the only way to get out of poverty.

Hello everyone! I love to learn and I love to help others learn. I'm a BS in Physics and I'm confident I can help with any math or physics.... When solving math and physics problems the best place to start is with the fundamentals. Sometimes I have to start with, "So what happens when you let go of your pencil?" Or, "When I divide by ten on this side what do I have to do to the other side?" Oftentimes, students just need someone to help them think about a problem in a methodical way.

...you must ascertain the learning style of the student and then teach according to that learning style. Not every student has the same style of learning and it is rewarding to know that a student understands a concept because the presented material was taught in a way consistent with their style of learning. Upon graduation, I taught 8th grade math to students at Durham Academy for an entire summer helping students understand math concepts for...

I'm a retired professor who taught statistics for many years. To be a good citizen these days, you have to know a little statistics, because many people will try to convince you of many things with statistics, and you need to be able to separate the truth from the lies.... I want you to understand how statistics works and what the logic behind it is. If you understand that, then it will be easy to learn new things because they will probably follow the logic of something you already know. You don't have to be good at math to learn statistics, but you do have to be able to think logically. If you just learn how to plug numbers into formulas, then you don't really know statistics.
