I also have a strong academic background,...

...think that this is beneficial because it teaches students how to learn. This is a skill that can applied to any area of study and it helps make the material more understandable. I use a variety of methods to teach including drawings, models, analogies, similar practice problems, and anything else that would help them to learn. Outside of school I love riding horses and have five back home in Montana. I also like being outdoors,...

...I also want to give my students methods for surviving and thriving in today's increasingly fast- paced and technologically advanced world. To do this, they need the critical thinking and analytical skills to discriminate and interpret the information with which they are bombarded everyday from a variety of sources.

...learn best when the problem at hand feels relevant to something you care about. With 6 years as an optical research scientist, I bring real world experience to motivate interest and understanding in my students. I have experience with hands-on lab skills, computer modeling, and data analysis in a research and engineering setting. That is to say I used geometry, calculus, diff-eq's and physics everyday. I am also passionate about teaching - sharing that knowledge...

...students and tutored them in their laboratory work. I am flexible in my way of teaching, and I am ready to help the student in the best way to address, assist, and solve any problem with all help needed. I usually spend part of the first session to define and outline which problems the students have. I follow the lessons of the teacher and add more examples that will be studied during the session. If...

...Often times this is when kids begin to doubt themselves or first struggle with mathematics, so I think its important to make sure they are really comfortable with the skills they will need. With two years of professional mathematics tutoring experience, I am able to help students get to the very root of their struggles. My main priority is to not only give students the strategies they need to succeed, but also build confidence. I...

...Physics and Mathematics. I often ended up helping my friends with math or physics problems, and during my last year of school, I led a tutoring class for general physics with calculus. My friends and the student I tutor have mentioned that I do a good job of explaining topics in different ways than the instructor did in their classes. I also try my best to let students solve problems on their own, only asking...

...an example of how to solve the problem. Then letting the student take a shot at a similar problem and see if they can solve it. Also to target specific weak areas that the student is struggling in. Usually a visual aid accompanying the problem is how I like to teach. Using videos and open discussion are also good methods. Often times engagement in both verbal and written activities at the same time are great...

...cases I strive to find which learning styles work best for each unique student. My favorite high school classes to teach are Geology, Astronomy and Physics. I have taught AP Physics since 2005 including AP Physics B, 1 and 2. Despite the fact that my students come from a Title 1 school and many of them are first generation college students, they consistently beat state and national averages with their AP Physics scores. I have...

...matter your background or where you are from because math is universal. Numbers are the same everywhere. This helped in my university environment because the diversity of the campus was quite large. I enjoyed this because I got to meet different people. Of course, physics and engineering is always my love. Many of my colleagues got together to tackle our problems together. I have taught many people and also learned quite a bit from others....

...thinking skills than ever, so it would be remiss of us not to emphasize intellectual growth. The subject I am most passionate about tutoring is mechanics since this is usually a student's first exposure to synthesizing physical theories with mathematical concepts. Overall, I take a conversational approach to tutoring where I try my best to relate the material to the student's life experiences while drawing more conventional analogies that are proven to make the concept...

...school through undergrad. High school Geometry? Yep! Real Analysis? Absolutely! Python? Not quite math, you tricky person, but sign right up. I tutor a bit of physics and computer programming as well. Test prep, too. But who am I? I am a math music philosophy nerd. I love Gauss almost as much as I love Bach and I love Bach almost as much as I like Hegel. So chat to me about that stuff if...

...Learning is a lifelong process. Each teaching situation is an opportunity to influence positively how a student sees him or herself as a learner. Learning takes place over the course of a school year, semester, quarter, week, or in a five minute time frame (such as with a substitute teacher). The math problem or the causes of the American Revolution may be what the student is learning but the context of the situation is always...
