My goal as a teacher is to impart knowledge of the subject matter and enthusiasm for the material to as many students as possible. Making the material enjoyable to students requires employing multiple methods for teaching the subject matter. Each student will approach a subject from a different background, each student will learn most effectively through a different method, and each course will require a different technique.Having served as a teaching assistant at three different universities, I have experience at connecting with students regardless of the campus, class sizes, and student backgrounds. My biggest strength as a teaching assistant and a lecturer has been my ability to connect with students with diverse backgrounds enough so they feel comfortable approaching me with questions or concerns about the material. My students have a diverse range of educational and economic backgrounds, so I have to cater the material accordingly. Classes I have served as a TA for include thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and materials science. I have also taught chemical engineering thermodynamics and tutored ACT/SAT/PSAT prep for high school students, and high school math and science. In addition, I have worked in various biological and engineering labs over the years, so I have technical expertise in many general undergraduate science classes.One of my main goals as an educator is to produce students that both feel confident in their own abilities to do independent work while also knowing when and how to rely on individuals with other skill sets to help fill in the gaps. While my students submit homework and tests individually, projects are conducted as group work, and I encourage students to work collaboratively while solving homework problems. This is to encourage better material understanding and a necessary skill in teamwork, while also making sure students are taking some initiative and are not completely reliant upon their classmates.I hope this gives you a sense for the kind of tutor I will be. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Jeremy
Current Undergrad, Mathematics Cleveland State University
10+ Years Tutoring

Hello! My name is Jeremy, and I'm a mathematician and an educator.I believe that everyone should have access to a quality education and that often times our education system does little to prepare students for the real-world, or devalues the material to the point where students ask why they are learning any of the subjects. I believe that a solid understanding of the basic of mathematics improves the quality of life one can experience, and having a solid understanding of the basic concepts makes higher level courses much easier. I have taught calculus courses as a STEM Peer Teacher at Cleveland State University and most problems students seem to have stems from a lack of understanding in the prerequisite material, even so far as having trouble with basic arithmetic.Learning mathematics is a process, but it is a process I believe everyone is capable of. The teacher should have patience, the ability to show the student the value in learning the material, as well as the benefits of learning from their mistakes, which we all make.

My goal with every student is to ensure they have a firm understanding of the material despite any difficulties we come across or how much time it may take. This will be accomplished through clear and thorough explanation of all relevant concepts followed by plenty of practice problems to ensure the student is familiar with the material, as I believe this is the most effective way to create a student's understanding of the content. I also believe it is of the utmost importance that we establish an environment that is conducive to learning. This means that the student and tutor should be comfortable enough to communicate openly and ask any questions that may arise without worrying about any judgement. This means creating a warm and friendly that the student looks forward to learning in.

I am a graduate of Sinclair Community College, the University of Dayton, and Cleveland State University. I have an Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts from Sinclair Community College, a Bachelor of Arts in English with a Spanish minor from the University of Dayton, and a Master of Arts in English from Cleveland State University. Over the last decade, I have tutored numerous community college students at two community colleges in the state of Ohio. While I tutored primarily English and Spanish courses, I have tutored many courses in the Liberal Arts curriculum, including History, Political Science, and other Modern Languages. I especially enjoy tutoring anything that combines any number of these subjects together, as I am a firm believer that writing and literature are a part of culture and are a reflection of it. As a tutor, I like to help students build connection with their subject and its relevance in the wider world. Furthermore, I want to provide of how one's academic pursuits can infuse other parts of one's life. My style of tutoring is student-driven; I like to adapt to an individual student while utilizing skills I have learned through my tutoring experience and my learning experience. In my spare time, I am often writing, reading, watching baseball, and engaging with media as literature. I never stop the pursuit of knowledge.
