Educators at the secondary and post-secondary levels face a very common and very real challenge of developing tunnel-vision with their instruction. Whether this is due to the speed-based system of education in which they may be working, where a certain amount of material must be covered in a set time-frame, or teaching multiple courses of the same material, or that the teacher may feel most comfortable explaining a concept only in the way they themselves learned it, education itself, for the instructor, can present a very formidable foe. I myself have had times throughout my twenty years in education where I couldn't see the educational forest for the trees. I found myself so engrossed in making sure I covered the material, and in the day-to-day teacher operations, that I lost sight of my overall goal of how I wanted my instruction to be experienced by the students. Interestingly, it was during my time tutoring students that I found my way, because tutoring allowed me to talk with a student rather than providing instruction to them. No student wants to think of education as an endless practice of taking notes and memorization of material. They want their education to be both enjoyable and fulfilling. An instructor can help accomplish this by making their instruction an experience rather than an exercise. Whether an educator is teaching philosophy or mathematics, students learn when they not only see how to do something, but more importantly, why. From this point, the educator has succeeded, because students who understand material at this level will be able to apply the critical thinking they've been given to decide "when." They will comprehend the connections not only between sections in one class, but also how each class is connected overall within their educational experience. In summation, I believe that education is meant to be a collection of experiences rather than sectioned into parts to be robotically learned. This approach allows all students to see their forests in spite of the trees.

...In the near future, I will be attending the University of California, Berkeley to obtain a Masters degree in Financial Engineering. Throughout my years as an undergraduate, I tutored many students in all subjects of mathematics. I am most passionate and experienced in Algebra, Pre-Calculus, and Trigonometry. I have also helped colleagues practice for the GRE Quantitative section. I believe that the most efficient way to learn mathematics is simply to do mathematics. Practicing problems,...

...expectations in classes through high school in college that they were struggling in. I also have experience coaching Telemark ski racing through high school, and coaching the collegiate alpine ski racing team at CSM. I began to enjoy math, science, and physics when I was high school. I believe this happened because I had an amazing teacher that helped inspire me to learn math and physics. It is important as a tutor and teacher to...

...Secondary Education or Educational Studies. Even though I am a freshman, I am taking many upper level classes and love exploring my passion for history. In high school, I was both a tutor for kids at my local middle school as well as a private tutor and tutored in subject from Physics, AB Calculus, and AP World History. I also worked in my local synagogue as a Hebrew School teacher for 1st and 5th grade...

I have been tutoring students for 12 years, and I've taught students from kindergarten through medical school. I absolutely love math and science, and I try to share my enthusiasm for learning with all of my students. Teaching is not one-size-fits-all. My goal is to help each student achieve to the best of his or her ability by adapting my teaching style to the needs of each individual student. I believe that students can master...

...different study materials, or to regroup and attack a problem from a different angle. Having written a lot of essays and given talks in both science and social science classes/conferences, I realize the importance of conveying information in an understandable and accessible manner. I make this goal a priority when I am working with students. I am a lifelong student and am inspired to instill a love of learning in my students. Certain subjects, especially...

I am a graduate of a top engineering university and am an engineer for an energy firm. I have years of experience tutoring and teaching math and various sciences from elementary through college. I primarily tutor high school math and sciences but also have extensive experience in all forms of engineering and higher mathematics including Calculus and Linear Algebra. I believe in incorporating real world examples to help students understand the application of math and...

...5 years tutoring local students in Math. I received a perfect score of 800 on the SAT Math portion. I took every AP math course available to me in high school: AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, and AP Statistics; receiving scores of 5, 5 (with a 5 on the AB subsection), and 3 respectively. I also have extensive experience in dealing with ADD/ADHD in relation to both academia and day-to-day life. But more important...

I am a graduate student at St. Joseph's College. Working with students is my passion. My favorite subject is Math. I like tutoring Math because I want my students to appreciate what Math has to offer them in the future. Students should appreciate the hard work they put into their career path. I believe that learning starts with the environment. When the environment is fun, safe and workable students will be able to learn more....

...and I'm great at helping students make sense of new or difficult concepts. As a tutor, I am careful to make sure that students are able to do problems on their own, without relying too heavily on memorization. Outside of school and work, I enjoy getting up in the mountains whenever I can. I especially like hiking, fishing, and backpacking. I'm also a huge nerd when it comes to fantasy and science fiction novels.... I don't believe anyone is doomed to be bad at math for life. The brain is like a muscle, and while some people may be out of shape, everyone can become smarter by pushing themselves. As I teach, I give students the confidence they need to become "smart" at any subject.
