I have tutored since 1991. I have tutored grade school - college. I specifically enjoy tutoring math at the elementary level, as it is so important to have a solid base in math. I also enjoy tutoring high school and college Intro to Chemistry courses. I enjoy working with students in a one-to-one setting, so they feel comfortable asking questions. It is amazing what a student can accomplish in hour time frame. The student progresses quickly when focused on a subject for a solid hour. The best part of tutoring is seeing a student's confidence grow as their proficiency grows!
The way I approach tutoring is simple, I focus on the individual student. Each student is different, so by doing homework side by side, looking at previous work and tests, and working with their current teacher, we can find the student's strengths and weaknesses and figure out the best path to get the student to the desired proficiency. For elementary school students I put a huge emphasis on proficiency in their math facts.
The most important part to a successful tutor to student relationship is the student must WANT to learn and have a desire to improve in the subject matter.
I have a teaching degree in Chemistry. I have also helped students on their ACT improve several points. I enjoy helping students with test taking skills as well as tutoring in specific subjects.
