Mark

College Physics Tutor • +11 Subjects

I was never a straight A student, in fact, I struggled to get B's. It was never a problem with the content I was learning but the context in which that material was presented. After learning about the many different learning profiles that exist in the classroom I realized that students like myself were being left out to dry. I decided three years into my first college experience that I wanted to become an educator. Transferring to Wright State University and enrolling in their Teacher Preparation program is undoubtedly the best decision I have ever made. This upcoming fall I will be working in the Dayton Public School district to help students who, like myself, who struggle with "playing school."Outside of teaching, I enjoy reading science-fiction and taking hikes at the many metro parks in the South Dayton area. I occasionally work at a locally owned running store on the weekends and even do some coaching in the fall and spring. I have spent most of my life in Dayton but also moved around a lot as my father was in the military. I hope to move and teach in Philadelphia some day in the future but for now, my focus is on revitalizing the school system in Dayton.

Meredith

ACCUPLACER Elementary Algebra Tutor • +24 Subjects

I firmly believe that ANYONE CAN EXCEL in mathematics! I believe in my students, and Id love the opportunity to help you believe in yourself (or your child in his- or herself) too.Though I first began tutoring when I was a senior in high school, I have since gained formal teaching experience in Geometry, Algebra, and 7th & 8th grade math. It is with pride that I share I was the sole math teacher responsible for my school meeting the mathematics standards for 7th & 8th grade for the first time in ten years! As a military spouse, my teaching career met with some frustrations due to the short stays and frequent relocation required by my husbands work, and I now find satisfaction dispelling math phobia from the privacy of my own home while enjoying the flexibility of tutoring students in grades K-12 from all over the globe, and I have done so for the past five years. As a stay-at-home doggie momma, I have lots of availability to tutor during the morning, afternoon and late afternoon hours during the week.Though I am competent to tutor any discipline of mathematics, Geometry is hands-down my favorite by virtue of its visual nature and all the fun, practical applications with which it is associated, followed closely by Algebra I & II. I have been told that my teaching style appeals most to students in grades 5-12, and I enjoy providing insights to students in these grades regarding career opportunities and the practical, real-world applications that exist for the content they are learning. I have the most experience tutoring these subjects as well as middle & elementary school math; these are where my strengths as a mathematics educator reside.Although I should have studied mathematics from the very beginning, my first bachelors degree from Tufts University is actually in Classical Studies and Community Health. Following that, I attended Case Western Reserve University School of Law, which was NOT the right fit for me! However, the subjective nature of law and of law school taught me a new respect for mathematics and its objectivity; I find the fact that there are definite answers in mathematics at which you WILL arrive if you follow the steps correctly very comforting in this world of uncertainty. After law school, I returned to my love of mathematics, earned a bachelors degree in Mathematics & Secondary Mathematics Education, and later went on to earn a Master's Level endorsement in Secondary Mathematics Education as well.My tutoring style involves encouraging students to share their questions, fears, and concerns about the problems they are encountering with their math in an approachable, relaxed, and sometimes even entertaining environment and keeping them engaged throughout the learning process. Using a series of leading questions, I like to draw them into the problem-solving process, enabling them to arrive at the solutions largely on their own. This has an invaluable impact upon bolstering their confidence in the subject matter as well as themselves. Not all students learn the same way, so I tailor my instruction to suit the variety of different learning styles of my individual students. To avoid the frustrated when am I going to use this? Im never going to use this! concerns students possess, I relate the concepts they are learning to real-life applications to provide context and help them see the importance of those skills. I like to challenge my students to reach their full potential: how will we know the greatness they are capable of achieving until we inspire them to try?

Tim

ACT English Tutor • +24 Subjects

I began tutoring college algebra and trigonometry during my sophomore year at Kansas State University because one of my math professors at the time offered that opportunity to several students in her Accelerated Calculus class. I found that I really enjoyed sharing what I had learned, helping a student see something from a different perspective or finally grasp a concept that they had struggled with.After I graduated with a degree in Electrical Engineering, I began a career in the US Air Force, first working for the Air Force Research Lab, and then working for the National Air and Space Intelligence Center as a scientific and technical intelligence analyst. I have continued to seek opportunities to teach, and to share what I know, with junior employees, with my nieces and nephews and with my own children.I enjoy teaching language, science, and preparing students for standardized testing, but I think I'm most passionate about teaching math because I believe learning math is helpful in developing brain function, in the same way that going to the gym is helpful to developing physical fitness. Although it requires effort, the process of learning math should involve the beneficial pain that leads to good results rather than the crippling pain that prevents any further progress that too many math students unfortunately experience.Beyond my work as an analyst and a tutor, I enjoy reading and spending time with my kids. Since I have eleven (soon to be twelve) children ages 28 down to 2, there are a lot of opportunities!

David

Algebra 2 Tutor • +16 Subjects

You've got questions? I've got better ones. I love helping students learn to ask the right questions because that's what learning is all about. I teach because I love to learn from my students... it's really all about me... but it can be all about you too. Let's learn together!I graduated with a Bachelor's of Science in Biochemistry from Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia in 2014 and a Master's of Science in Chemistry from the University of Dayton in Dayton, Ohio in 2018.I have since acquired 18 months of combined industry experience as a chemical production operator, process development engineer, and research and development chemist.One of my greatest strengths as an educator is my ability to show students "the whole picture", in other words, how the minute details of a subject they may be struggling with relate to the world around them i.e. why does this matter?Having the opportunity to teach in graduate school was my absolute favorite part of my advanced degree journey. I discovered that I possessed the rare talent to generate questions from my students, not by lecturing, but by questioning them. I firmly believe that if you can get a student to ask questions about their own learning, you can get them to learn anything.Generating comprehension through purpose in learning is the guiding light for my educational philosophy. With purpose comes motivation, and with motivation comes achievement. My best teachers were also my best motivators; I hope to establish a greater purpose for your learning so you will feel motivated to achieve your academic goals in a manner commensurate with your schedule and deadlines.I aim to establish a relationship with my students so that I will also learn from them, not because I don't already know what I need to know to tutor them, but because I don't know everything either.To teach is to learn and to learn is to teach so let's learn together.

I believe in the power of reading. When a person can read, they can learn anything. So I am passionate about teaching children to read. I try to make the learning process interesting and enjoyable. I use stories as soon as possible, because stories teach in a meaningful way and make the process enjoyable, interesting and memorable. I do my best to cultivate a love of learning in my students.
