Accounting Tutor • +43 Subjects

I graduated in Bachelor's in Financial Markets from University of Mumbai. I relocated to USA in 2016. Being a stay at home mom has given me the opportunity to be flexible in my schedule and pursue tutoring full time. I am passionate about finance and accounts subjects. Although English is my second language I have been particularly interested in reading and writing as well. My teaching style is heavily dependent upon the student and I believe in learning rather than cramming the coursework.

Educational Background:Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry, with Minor in Mathematics - May 1993Washington University, St. LouisMaster of Science in Chemistry - June 1995University of California, RiversideTeacher Education Program - June 1996University of California, RiversideTeaching Credentials earned in California (1996), Ohio (2003) and Missouri (2012).---------------------------------------------------I have been teaching in public high schools since the 1995 - 1996 school year, and I love what I do. I enjoy the subjects I teach, and I work hard to impart that excitement into my classes. I get a thrill when I see the light bulb go on as my students master a tough concept.I expect the best from my pupils, and I provide the support and encouragement they need to succeed. I routinely challenge my students and push them just outside of their comfort zone for this is where they will experience the most growth. I ask my students to problem solve, to consider, to participate and to THINK.For students who need extra support in mastering a new skill, I provide plenty of time for questions before, during and after school. While I will not be your student's classroom teacher, I can offer your child the time he or she needs to review work, ask questions, practice skills or prepare for an assessment.

Rebecca

Algebra Tutor • +13 Subjects

I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Saint Louis University (SLU) and received a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a concentration in Economics and French. I also studied abroad in Poitiers, France for a semester and completed the DALF C2 French Language Diploma– the highest certification in French as a second language. After I returned, I tutored French until I graduated and helped students strengthen their oral, writing, and grammar skills. Since language opens opportunities to learn both linguistics and culture, I’m a big fan of incorporating foreign movies, music, and food in my lessons when appropriate. My passion for languages extends to helping others improve their English and writing. I’ve learned from the best; my father is the director of an English program at a university overseas. My experience with languages and cultures also comes from having grown up overseas in the Middle East in a bi-cultural household and having traveled extensively throughout my life. In addition to languages, I also have a strong Math and Business background due to my undergraduate studies.Since graduation, I am currently serving as 1 of the 64 nationally selected fellows participating in the Coro Fellows Program in Public Affairs, which is a nine-month graduate-level experiential program centered around leadership development. I am a strong believer in the empowerment of education and self-development to build future leaders and hope to share that with all my students.Finally, my interests include traveling, hiking, cooking, reading (huge British Lit fan) and watching international and independent films. Did I mention I love Forest Park and random cafes? - Great places to tutor and study!

Gustavo

Algebra Tutor • +45 Subjects

I have studied in Argentina, in a bilingual English - Spanish School for primary and secondary students. After that, I continued my education as an Electronics Engineer at the University of Buenos Aires. Then, I trained as an MBA at the University of Salvador. I relocated to Germany for almost five years and then came back to the US. I have helped tutor students in high school, as well as classmates, family and friends. All of these students have received good grades as a result of the tutoring. Spanish, Math and Physics are my subjects of choice, and I believe the overall concepts of the subjects are the most important part to teach. In this way, you can discover more and will not have to depend on your memory. In my spare time, I enjoy hi-tech gadgets, computers, tennis, and know a lot about photography and optics.

I graduated from college over 20 years ago with a focus on elementary education. Upon graduating, I began my teaching career at the elementary level where I worked with students from various cultures and backgrounds, including ESL students.

As a life long educator, I believe that students deserve to have the best education possible and be treated with respect and fairness. I look forward to working with you.

Jacob

Anatomy Tutor • +6 Subjects

From the moment I entered High School, I knew I wanted to be in the medical field. The love I have for sports, as well as helping people, drew me to the field of Athletic Training. Upon graduation of High School, I went on to get my Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio. I cannot thank the University enough for the opportunities and experiences it gave me. The countless hours spent in cadaver labs, training rooms, clinics, and classrooms have laid such a solid foundation on me. The University also led me to my internship in Columbus, Ohio, at Nationwide Children's Hospital. There, I had the privilege to intern with the sports medicine program. The opportunity to work for such a great program was amazing! After graduation from college, I wanted to further my education as a practitioner. I then decided to move to St. Louis to enroll at Logan College of Chiropractic! I have finished my first year and am loving every minute of it! I cannot wait to take the knowledge I have gained and teach it to others! I am very strong in Anatomy and Physiology! I probably have had over 15 classes of A and P throughout my college career, and every class I learn something new! I have so many drawings, charts, as well as fun ways to remember those important concepts! I am also very strong in other medical areas such as nutrition, pathology, and basic sciences. I am looking forward to helping out others because I know exactly what it was like when I was in their shoes!

Some students have a natural interest in computers and computer programming and often learn to program independently. Students that are required to take introductory programming classes may not have the same interest or ability.In my experience, roughly one third of all students in beginning programming courses drop out or earn less than satisfactory grades. The reason? Teachers, graduate student instructors, and professors were teaching programming the same way they learned mathematics: by writing numerous examples on the board, assuming that students could all learn by example and imitation. This may be suitable for students with prior programming experience, natural ability, and interest in programming. This is not suitable for all students and specifically not suitable for those with no prior experience in programming.I enjoy teaching and bring some very important experience to this task. Shortly after graduating from college I went to work for NASA. My first project was to develop a scheduling system that was used to plan and schedule the activities that the astronauts were to perform during Space Shuttle Mission STS-57 that carried a laboratory (SPACEHAB 1) into orbit within the Space Shuttle Bay. While preparing the schedule for the work to be performed within the Laboratory, I had the honour to work with Learning Specialists and with some of the Astronauts training to perform the experiments. One of the Learning Specialists that I worked with explained a very simple principle. You cannot measure what people know, you can only measure what they can do.In this light I have adopted a simple and effective approach to teaching high-school and college programming courses. The first step is not to teach students how to program, instead the first step is to teach students how to read a computer program and explain what the computer will do. To measure what students can do, first walk through some simple programs using worksheets to record what the computer will do at each step. Next provide some simple programs with worksheets and ask the students to record what the computer will do at each step. Any difference between what the computer will do and what a student records can be easily identified, addressed, and tested again until the students reliably provide correct answers. With this foundation, the next step is to introduce common parts of programs (which the students can now read), to demonstrate how to create new programs using these common parts, and then how to create new common parts when needed.My goal when tutoring students in computer programming and related topics is to ensure that a student has a proper foundation and is able to read and explain what a computer program will do before introducing new subjects that require this essential ability.I have an insatiable interest in computer science, programming languages, the art of computer programming, and the many things that you can do with computers. I started programming (to pay my way through school) in my first year of college and I continue programming to this day. Along the way I earned a BS in Mathematics at the University of Missouri Kansas City, MS in Computer Science at the University of Kansas, and a PhD in Computer Science at the Missouri University of Science & Technology with more than 15 years teaching undergraduate and graduate level Computer Science classes. With this background, I am qualified to provide tutoring for standard middle school, high school, and undergraduate level Computer Science courses, and with some preparation, tutoring for special topics and graduate level courses.(p.s. I still remember the 10 days that I worked in the NASA control-center during Space Shuttle Mission STS-57, revising and updating the astronauts' schedule each night, while they slept.)
