Experience
I have been working in education for the last 20 years. During this time I have taught a variety of Math and Science classes. I am currently certified in the state of Arizona in General Science, Biology, and Mathematics. I graduated with honors from University of Phoenix (MAEd - Curriculum and Technology), Black Hills State University (BS - Mathematics with a Minor in Middle School Education), and George Washington University (BS - Health Science). Specific tutoring experience includes working with students in my classes, Sylvan Learning, and after school preparation classes for SAT). I have tutor Mathematics from basic level high school math to college trigonometry and science classes including biology, chemistry, and general science. My favorite classes are mathematics, especially the higher level math because it challenges me also. I also enjoy tutoring math because so many students have a "block" when it comes to math and to see them get to understand it is amazing, not only for me, but especially for the student. When I tutor students they are the driving force. How I approach them depends on their understanding and participation. I ask many questions to guide them along until they learn the process of solving the problems. Students must be able to relate one kind of problem to the next. What are the similarities and what are the differences? What strategies can be used? There are often multiple strategies, what is the best one for the student? I truly feel that all students can grasp the concepts of mathematics to a given degree. As far as hobbies I enjoy boating, swimming, books, movies, and riding a motorcycle.
