Viewing credentialed tutors from New Mexico State University-Main Campus

...a test prep instructor, I taught SAT, SSAT, TOEFL, and GRE. Test Prep, as I have come to experience it does not mean the memorizing of 10,000 things. It is understanding that standardized tests are logic games, that they test nothing outside what you have already learned in school. The rub comes from the presentation,...

...life. I am very interested in history and geography so moving to an area with such rich history is a treat for me! I am spending my free time making trips to new historic sites and museums. I truly believe every child can and will learn. It is my job as the educator to find...

...This resulted in my peers and family asking me for help in math & science for over 25 years. During my undergraduate studies, I made A's in all my mathematics courses and was invited to join the Math Honor Society. I enjoy helping others understand math and science, whether it's simple mathematics like addition and...

...Learning is best when it is fun, and when it is adapted to the learner at hand. I am always interested in hearing what the learner is thinking because I think a lot can be learned from listening to how an individual is arriving at a given perspective. I taught for several years through an...

...continue to study English literature through the Master's program at New Mexico State University. If you can???t find me sitting in class, hanging out with my roommate, or walking around campus, I???m probably serving at the Newman Center, the NMSU Catholic Campus Ministry. I have previously tutored a remedial high school English summer course, high...

...challenged to learn about themselves and their responsibilities; it is not just the content, but how the student succeeded or struggled, and what they took away, that matters. In brief, this learning-by-doing mimics lifepreparing students to assess and make decisions based on what type of person they want to be, regardless of the their interests...

...very passionate about learning and helping others. Everyone has a particular learning style and method by which retaining information becomes effortless. Finding that gem is the key- and this is where having a tutor can really help you excel. Often students do not have as much difficulty understanding a topic, if only it is presented...

...my Bachelor's in Spanish & Linguistics, a minor in International Relations, and my certificate to teach English as a foreign language. I spend my free time traveling around the U.S and other parts of the world, painting, hula hooping, and running! I love to teach people and help them achieve their true potential, I look...

I served at the University of Texas at El Paso and New Mexico State University as a lecturer in Mathematical Sciences department. I got my Bachelor and Master degree in Pure Mathematics and also have nine years of experience in teaching all fields of Math to college and high school students.... As an instructor, I always try to care about every single student in class. It is important for me that how each one of them is following lectures. During the lectures, I usually put myself in a student's position to make sure that the material that I am teaching is based on their knowledge. My most important tool for effective teaching is promoting an interactive environment in classroom. I usually ask questions during lecture from at least 50 percent of students, especially students who are not following the class the way that I want, and I try to ask them questions in a way that they can answer it correctly. I know that most undergraduate students take many courses in a semester and they have a lot to do during the week. So, I try to not give them so much homework, which can make them confused. Each semester, after the first meeting hearing about the strategy of the course, I make a specific calendar for each course that I'm teaching. In this calendar, I write some comments for myself in each week of the semester, and these comments are from my experiences from past semesters. It helps me to remember during the semester in each week what the important things are related to my teaching. I usually avoid proof-based materials for undergraduate students. If there is any specific point in the book that needs proof, I try to explain it out of Theorem-Proof style for students, and I have seen that they really can make connections with this method. My evaluations from previous semesters show that most of the students are glad that they can see the improvements, and they also like that I spend more than enough time for their problems.

...able to touch people's lives. I believe education and self-esteem are directly linked. I believe that education is more than just academics. I have experience working with students from kindergarten through college. For high school and college, I primarily teach math, anthropology, and economics. I currently am a substitute teacher and have been a private...
