Find a Local Tutor Who Gets It

I really enjoy helping other kids realize they can "get" the "hard subjects" - be it math, science, or english. I have a strong visual understanding of math, which I use to help explain math to kids. I show them how it makes sense, instead of just telling them a protocol or pattern to follow. Often they don't get this kind of teaching at school. I bring excitement to science, having a personal interest in them, and can spark student's interests in the subject.Started tutoring in High school for middle school students, math, social studies and english.

I recently finished my postgraduate education, attaining two master’s degrees; one in innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurship, and the other in renewable energy. I studied as a pre-dental student in my undergraduate studies, attaining an interdisciplinary degree in business and chemistry. Because of my pre-dental studies, I took and excelled in physics and chemistry courses. As part of my pre-renewable energy engineering preparation I completed many hours of independent engineering mathematics study, adding to the math I took while in high school and college. From these education experience I can confidently cover the flowing subjects: Math – Pre-Algebra through pre-calculus Science – Chemistry, up to college general chemistry (regular or for chemistry majors), – Physics, up to college entry level Business – Economics, up to college entry level micro and macroeconomics, – Entrepreneurial finance.

By listening and communicating effectively, I will be able to make sure a student actually understands the material presented and reviewed during tutoring sessions. I have also taught swim lessons for 4 summers/years, including classes from 3-8 students, from infant to about 12 years old.

All of these have prepared me to be a good tutor.As an entrepreneur and inventor I can see things from a unique perspective. Understanding this has allowed me to explain concepts to people in new ways when they are not understanding the way things are conventionally presented. While not everything needs to be presented in a news the way, when a student doesn’t understand a concept, I will be able to convey the information in a number of ways, increasing the likelihood of their grasping the concepts. I also have unofficial tutoring experience from the disciplines of math and physics. While in high school I conducted physics study sessions and during college tutored a high school math student from my local church, giving me introductory tutoring experience I need to be a successful tutor.Also, I played sports in high school, got married during my undergraduate studies, and had a baby while doing my graduate studies.

I am greatly flexible as a tutor, able and willing to work with any kind of client, whether the client is a graduate student or a freshman taking a remedial English course. As explained above, I have worked with a variety of clients on a variety of writing assignments. As a tutor, I do not believe there is a "correct" writing style--rather, I am patient and actively encourage a writer to take control of his or her writing and develop his or her voice within their writing. However, I am also open, while courteous, about areas I believe a client can improve in, with an eye on helping the client improve as a writer over the long term.I also love sharing my experience with and knowledge of literature and writing in hopes of inspiring the same kind of passion from my clients.As stated above, I have an overall GPA of 3.78 and a major GPA of 3.95, which demonstrates not only my expertise within my subject area but also my ability to work hard and succeed in subjects outside my major.
