Certified Tutors From Missouri University of Science and Technology

...scientific and mathematical fields, but I am always eager to meet new people and both teach and learn from them! Physics and Math can be very intimidating when you are first experiencing them, but I believe that they can be incredibly rewarding and fun subjects, and I enjoy helping students reap that reward. Since I...

...as aerodynamics, dynamics, and scientific programming. I believe there is somewhat of a disconnect between how math is taught in the American secondary educational system and the post secondary system. Coming from an engineering perspective, I try to bring in the practical application of any of the math I tutor and how it is used...

...in engineering seemed like the perfect choice. After college I worked in the aerospace industry for 10 years as a systems engineer on several satellite programs. Although I enjoyed my job, I wanted to spend more time with my family. It was then that I discovered I absolutely love working with students. I became a...

...of all ages and learning levels, and I like to see the pride they take in completing difficult tasks. When I'm not working you can usually find me hanging out with my two dogs and some friends, playing sports, or relaxing at the movie theater. Subjects I currently tutor are algebra, trigonometry, geometry, elementary and...

...help boost their confidence by emphasizing what they already know. Then we can take that confidence and tackle the material they currently struggle with, piece by piece. I want my clients to gain a full understanding of the material so they can do well in the classroom and ultimately use the skills as a tool for...

...that everyone can share. I live in a Fraternity with a bunch of friends that always ask me to tutor them before an exam, and remarkably they receive a much better grade after I helped tutor them. The key, I believe, to understanding math is to gain some confidence in your skills of Algebra, Trigonometry...

...seeing people learn things that I know they'll use later. Due to my engineering background, I'm more focused on teaching the process of a subject rather than insuring that the answer is always correct, I feel this way leaves a student better prepared to deal with the future rather than temporarily shoring up knowledge for...

...if a student has difficulty understanding information based on the manner it is presented. My preferred subjects to teach are biology (general and ecology) and geological/ earth sciences. These subjects are often far reaching and intertwine with other areas bringing a large amount of the sciences into a cohesive whole. My teaching style varies according...

...at the very least, help you succeed in your classes and exams. Feel behind in your class? Need an A on the final exam to pass a class or to get a certain grade? I have been there! (...Believe me, more than enough times) When I was struggling with my classes, I wish someone would...

...of Science and Technology where I earned my B.S. in Biological Sciences with minors in chemistry and studio art. I am currently going to school to earn my certification as a secondary biology teacher. I have tutoring experience in biology, chemistry, some math subjects, as well as standardized testing experience. My art background is mostly...

I connect with people best through sharing ideas. The majority of my spare time is spent trying to simplify or find alternate proofs of basic theorems to make them more intuitive.... Focusing on beauty solves many problems a teacher faces. If I am attending a lecture about The Great Gatsby, I will be eager if the speaker tells of the beauty she sees, rather than a quick and dirty type of analysis. I regularly talk to...

I'm a sophomore at Missouri University of Science and Technology in Rolla Missouri studying Computer Engineering and Computer Science.

...Calculus, but enjoy tutoring all other math subjects equally. As for my tutoring philosophy, in my experience most students learn through repetition. In a typical tutoring session, my method is to identify what specific concepts the student is struggling with, show them how to approach those concepts correctly, and then go through problems that I...

I first discovered tutoring when I went to my university's "Student Success Center" to ask a tutor a question about the homework. I became inspired by the tutors. After my brother started to use me as a tutor, I decided that I could be a tutor.

...have eight years professional experience of teaching/tutoring of students in mathematics. I have two bachelor's degree in mathematics and chemical engineering. I know that each student has different needs and ways to learn and I am here to understand your needs and to develop new ways to make you successful in mathematics. Practice Makes perfect!

My name is Yousuf Rifai. I'm from St. Louis, MO and am a sophomore at Missouri S&T, majoring in Mechanical engineering. I have a passion for helping others excel academically. Each one teach one.

...favorite subjects to teach are calculus (1 through 3), elementary differential equations, and physics (Newtonian, Quantum, and Electricity/Magnetism). I believe that to become familiar with a subject, one must practice it and do so often. It is also often helpful to do as much background research as necessary in order to fundamentally understand the topic....

...etc. Beyond my Mechanical, skill, I also have a nice interpersonal and listening skills. With a Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering and a few years working as a middle-high School Sub Teacher Math and Science, which helped me to gain experience of how to teach Mach and science. If you want to understand a new...

Tutoring means teaching but it also means listening and learning and adapting the approach to each student's individual needs.

...and math as an adjunct instructor. Being a teacher is one of the really great jobs in the world, and tutoring is one of the best ways to teach. As a tutor I get to work one-on-one with students, meaning that we go at the student's pace and take the approach that works best for...
