Nicole
Patient, Experienced Certified Teacher - Math, Science, Test Prep
I am passionate about learning and extremely patient, and will celebrate every success. I understand that students have different learning styles and my need to hear things explained several different ways before they understand it. Many students have told me over the years that they didn't like science before they had my class or they thought they were no good at math before my class. I like to use analogies of more familiar things to illustrate abstract science concepts, and use concrete... Read more

Kayode
Life-long teacher continues to do what he likes to do best
My love for quietly contributing to the growth and success of the youth has been the driving force in my life-long career of teaching both high school and college classes both here in the United States and abroad. Out of this has grown my philosophy of learning to the effect that not only can everybody learn, we all learn all the time anyway whether consciously or unconsciously. And so, not only are we natural learners, we are naturally creative beings as well. No one comes to a learning sit... Read more
