Leslie

Elementary School Tutor • +12 Subjects

Helping students is my passion because nothing beats the moment when a student says, "I understand" or "I know how to do this!" and it is clear that meaningful learning has taken place. Throughout most of my teaching career I have worked with students who have been challenged by learning and who have needed some one to one or small group remediation and instruction. I earned a B.A. Degree in Elementary Education and a Me.D. in Divergent Learning at Columbia College in South Carolina. Additionally, I earned a Me.D. in Curriculum and Instruction from the American College of Education in Illinois. The subjects I can tutor include most elementary subjects and middle school subjects including math. My favorite subjects to tutor would be reading, because I enjoy it so much, and math, because I have taught math for more than several years. My teaching philosophy is simple. It is important to help students learn academically but it is also important to get to know the students that you are working with. When I am not tutoring, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, crocheting, reading and going to the beach.

Vikas

Algebra Tutor • +16 Subjects

A teacher is a role model that cultivates in young people, open minds, the knowledge and ability to look at the world critically, and the belief in ones capacity to make positive contributions to society. Reflecting on my educational experiences, I highly appreciate the efforts of my teachers who help me gain knowledge and skills that will be used by me for whole life.I have completed my Bachelors in Electronics Engineering and Masters in Electrical Engineering. The courses I have taken varied from mathematics, physics, basic engineering concepts in electrical, electronics and mechanical engineering to graduate level courses in signals and systems, electromagnetics and satellite & RADAR communications. I have enjoyed learning this knowledge and being a STEM student.I have worked as a teaching assistant in graduate school helping undergraduate students with their homework and lab work. Also I have helped many of my friends with their mathematics problems or quantitative reasoning problems. Currently I am working as an Electrical Engineer working on designing some cool products and technology for video, light and sounds. I apply my skills and knowledge in designing circuit boards and testing them.My experience working in varied environments has enabled me to develop a range of practical skills. I am able to manage challenging behavior effectively, conduct activities safely and communicate with people from diverse backgrounds. Thus, given a chance I feel confident I will be able to guide students in a right direction and help them gain knowledge.

Sam

Accounting Tutor • +41 Subjects

Math is everywhere. Yet, it can be one of the most difficult subject for many students. My goal as a teacher is to first learn which subjects and hobbies that my student enjoys. And, then show how almost every topic within math is utilized by that student. Once I motivate that student to want to learn more about the subject matter, it is a matter of time before my student masters that topic and want to learn about another topic. It is a great confidence booster and a lesson for life. The student believes that if they can conquer the most difficult subject, then can master anything in life.

Tiffany

Adult Literacy Tutor • +48 Subjects

I started tutoring because I've always had a knack for explaining things to people, and I've gotten good feedback from students I've tutored as well as friends that I've helped. I've been tutoring math and science for a couple of years off and on, and hope to continue helping people because these are subjects that I want to retain knowledge of for as long as possible. I can pretty much tutor any age or experience level, although my favorite is college level calculus II.I like to use visual and kinesthetic methods to explain concepts to students. I focus on ensuring that students really understand the theory behind why we solve problems a certain way versus just memorizing a formula or function. This method has helped a lot of my students become note confident in their problem-solving skills as well as become more able to learn new concepts easier because they have a better understanding of the fundamentals.In addition to general course subjects, I have experience training for math brain bowls, preparing for standardized testing, and studying for the fundamentals of engineering exam.
