Experienced Tutor in Math and Science

I’ve always had a natural gift and aptitude for teaching and working with people, and I want to share my love for math and logic with others. I believe that students can learn difficult concepts best in a one on one environment, where we can spend time on what you need. I find that specifically when learning the “STEM” fields, people ask “Why do we need to know this?” To a math and science tutor, this just makes me sad. Both because it shows the lack of educational skill in their teacher and the fact that that student will not learn anything in that course. This is because students that don’t care about their learning will not put any effort or time into understanding.

Teaching Style

My tutoring approach is student-centered. I begin with a comprehensive assessment of your strengths and weaknesses, your learning style, and the conceptual difficulties you have in the subject matter. That way I can create lesson plans that are fined tuned to your learning style. I have two main types of tutoring sessions. In the first, I will help you with homework and projects for your classes. In the second, we go over the major concepts of the subject and what the purpose of it is.

Students are often not invested in learning the material because they do not see any real-world applicability to the subject matter. In fact, sometimes teachers don’t tell you why you are “forced” to learn what they tell you to learn. To overcome this, I give the goals of the subject with many real-world examples. Doing this will make the process of learning these hard subjects easier, and maybe even something to look forward to.

Qualification

I have over 3 years of professional teaching experience. I have taught for commercial tutoring companies since the beginning of my relatively long career. In addition to my private tutoring experience, I also have experience tutoring at both my local community college, and my local elementary school. I have only taught for big companies, and now I am moving to freelance and online tutoring so that I can help a wider range of people that need a more personal touch.

Conclusion

I invite you to contact me to set up a session. I believe we can help you both understand the material, and cultivate the interest in knowledge that will take you far in this world. When someone is struggling with a subject, I find it has less to do with the student and more to do with the instructor. If you find that you are just not getting it, I can help!
