Proven Motivator

I have spent the last seventeen years volunteering at schools, tutoring math and working with grade school level children. There is nothing better than seeing the world open up to children as they gain confidence by mastering a particular skill and develop the inner motivation needed to continue to the path to higher learning. Sometimes children need a helping hand to develop a baseline of knowledge necessary to become successful at school. All children can learn. I believe in meeting them at... Read more

Let The Learning Begin!
- $55 / h
- Plainfield , Illinois ( 60544 )
- 20 miles
I believe an outstanding teacher is committed to being a life time learner and finds a way to make learning fun, relevant, and applicable to the real world. Good teachers help students explore new ways of viewing the world as well as themselves; they challenge them to go beyond being contempt with surface answers to being willing to explore multiple layers of truths simultaneously. Outstanding teachers love what they do and feel elated that they are able to get paid for doing it. I've tau... Read more
Jason
Math and physics tutor
I am a math and physics tutor with several years of experience, including experience teaching. While working as a tutor at my school, I was frequently one of the most sought tutors for my ability to explain the problem (often told that I did a better job of it than the teacher), as well as my patience with students. I also tutored small groups at the same time, when several students from the same class would come in. Seeing that moment of understanding when a student "gets it" is a great feel... Read more
