...learning experience, the tutor must not only be passionate about teaching, but also about learning. As a passionate learner, I try to interpret the world around me, be that math, science, or why my garden behaves differently in Colorado than my family's in Nebraska. Early on in life, I loved numbers, patterns, and the problem solving nature of my parents' careers. This led to me enjoying math, science and engineering and turning those interests into...

...me because it allows me to combine my two passions: math and helping people. Many people say that they aren't a "math person" but I would argue that's not that case. Everyone can understand math, but not everyone will understand it in the same way. My goal is to open student's minds up to math based on their way of thinking and learning style. When I'm not solving a math problem you can probably find...

...Science of Materials. I taught a weekly review recitation and held weekly office hours, which gave me the opportunity to guide students through the course and supplement their knowledge. This ignited my initial passion for teaching. I believe teaching should be "hands on" by involving the student through questions and promoting participation. One-on-one teaching especially should be less lecturing from the tutor and more input from the student. By using examples to clarify and solidify...

I first began tutoring seriously in college. I began with college algebra and moved on to science courses such as chemistry, genetics, and biology. I also tutored some remedial math and english courses. No jobs other than teaching and medicine bring...

...I learned. I like to show and demonstrate ideas to students and not just tell them. I may guide you very closely through a problem or idea at your own pace initially, but I will never give you the answer; I expect you to find it on your own. Ultimately, I want to teach you the how and why a concept works, not just the what. You will gain a firm grasp of the idea...

...teaching, I try to focus educating the whole student, not just improving their abilities in mathematics, but rather what is going to make them a well-rounded adult, that has the mental fortitude to work through difficult challenges. Many of my students leave my class with a strong understanding of mathematics, as well as a great depth of wisdom about the world around them. Having worked at the college level in the admissions office, I have...

...well as being helped by friends and peers myself. The most important thing this has taught me, aside from tutoring skills, is that everybody has a different way of learning that works best for them. This is what I base my tutoring philosophy on, which is finding out how YOU learn best, and tailoring my teaching style based your learning style. My time as a college student has also taught me that knowing the 'why'...

...tutoring Algebra the most. In the realm of math, I find that I am the most comfortable with this subject and that my expertise can come in handy to others.

I can adapt the lessons to each individual student's needs and learning style and highly encourage students to be interactive in their learning as well and coming in with questions. Remember, there is no such thing as "stupid questions!" There are,...

I enjoy helping people understand their subjects especially math. I realize that students learn in different ways and some need more time and attention to understand their material. I hope to find the way to connect to each individual student to help them understand and master the subject at hand.... Communication of material in an understandable manner is the essence of teaching. Flexibility in methodology and creativity in getting the point across are keys to being...

...learns in different ways. For some it’s auditory, some it’s visual, and for most it’s kinesthetic. I want to figure out how you learn and go from there. If you need to make angles with your body to know the difference between acute and obtuse then let’s do it! If we need to write a song with vocabulary for you to remember the terms then I am in. I want learning to be fun because...

Formally, I have taught students at the high school and college level in math and history (Rutgers University - PhD, 1988) and advised many others informally as a banking and investment professional (Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA), since 1994). Recently, I have become a math tutor, mentor and substitute teacher in the Denver Public School system and...

...and remember what it was like to learn these subjects for the first time. Generally, my focus is on helping students understand the concepts and master the thought processes that lead to the right answer, rather than using rote memorization or oversimplified practice. My favorite subjects to tutor are Math and Physics, particularly Calculus (whose elegance made me love math again), but I'm happy to help with practically any high school class (the exceptions being...

...history, and even some math classes. After I graduated, I worked in the financial sector for a year before deciding to attend law school. While in school, I worked for the Oregon Attorney General's office, and served as a Teaching Assistant in the Legal Research and Writing Program. My primary job was to assist students in developing their writing skills, as well as their analytical reasoning and research abilities. When teaching, I believe in tailoring...

...especially easy here in a state like Colorado, where I've been for most my life. Like most my age, I also spend rather a lot of time indoors playing video games or working on personal projects (many of these in the programming language Python). I also enjoy reading fiction, my favorite book being Jupiter by Ben Bova, followed closely by the Foundation series by Issac Asimov. I love meeting new people and I'm always looking...

...think both math and spanish are a form of communication that many students can learn to enjoy as well! Though these and other subjects can seem tough at times, I feel that it is just a matter of time, patience, and practice in the subjects that you struggle with that will eventually make them a piece of cake! I work and help out in neuroscience labs in Denver and Boulder, but outside of the academic...
