Sherri -Elementary School Teacher

I have been an elementary school teacher for 23 years. Currently, I work as a fourth grade teacher for the Philadelphia School System. I have tutored many students throughout my career and have found it to be extremely beneficial to their academic success. My specialty is both math and reading grades K-6.
I enjoy working with a student one-on-one. As an educator, I know that every child develops on a different learning curve, which is why the tutoring process is so crucial. Working individually with a child can help them overcome some of the frustration and confusion that comes along with learning in a crowded classroom. I have a great amount of patience and understanding to help the child develop his own learning style and guide him to work through the problems at his own pace to ensure that he truly understands the material. I have had the pleasure helping numerous students reali ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have been a Math and SAT Math tutor since September of 2008. During that time I have had success with countless students of nearly all ages, from as young as 7 to as old as 18. I am 23 years old and just completed my Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics at Rowan University, where I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a 3.96 GPA. I believe my relative youth is not a detriment, but rather a benefit to my students who would often rather learn from somebody who knows what they are going through.

A Little Bit About Me...

Through my experience with Big Brothers Big Sisters and MAXIM Healthcare Services, I have tutored many children with different educational backgrounds that required different concentrated attention. I gauge how I tutor a child by their personal needs. I take the time needed to understand the child’s personality and listen to which is their preferred style of learning. I choose to gain their trust and build their confidence immediately. Used techniques are: verbal (lecture), visual (flashcards, diagrams, etc.), repetition (both verbal and visual), games, question and answer sessions, and more. It is most important to use the method that is the most effective to the child’s educational and emotional needs.
During my journey to complete my B.S. of Biology at The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey I was inspired to help others educate themselves. I informally tutored my peers in bi ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have a B.S. degree in Meteorology from SUNY College at Oneonta which required a great deal of mathematics, especially in calculus. I have taken calculus I, II, III, ordinary differential equations, general physics I & II, general chemistry I & II, and number theory. Other courses taken that involved mathematics were: physical meteorology, atmospheric dynamics I & II, weather analysis and forecasting I & II, micrometeorology, and remote sensing of the atmosphere. With these courses, I have developed a strong understanding in both math and science. I interned at Teterboro Airport as a Meteorologist in 2005; forecasting for local businesses. I also collected/analyzed data for a severe winter storm that hit the Northeast in 2004.

A Little Bit About Me...

Math to me is like a puzzle... if you can imagine the pieces in your mind, fitting them together in practice is so much easier. I am extremely patient and easy going, even in coaching, most kids gravitated to me because I could speak to them on their level. You have to explain it in a way that kids can understand. Positive feedback is very critical to let them know they are going down the right path.
I have lived in South Jersey all of my life. I received my degree in Accounting from Stockton and have spent most of my career in finance working my way up to Controller for several businesses. When I was laid off, I had always wanted to try teaching and I loved it. I love working with kids (I also coach baseball and football), I really get a kick out of passing my knowledge onto them and seeing their face when it sinks in.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have found that any student can learn. The key to a student's success is that education must be approached in the correct manner for that individual student. Not all students learn in the same fashion, and that must be considered in planning and implementing lessons. I believe that education needs to be approached in a fun way that coincides with the student's individual interests and learning styles. If the student loves sports, I would find innovative ways to include that in my tutoring so that he/she would stay focused and retain information. Furthermore, I firmly believe that education needs to be approached in a constructivist manner. A foundation needs to be established, upon which new skills can be built.
I have always been a very hardworking student. In high school, I graduated 15th in a class of 301 and took college level courses in Calculus, Chemistry, and Englis ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I love helping students learn. I am very patient when it comes to teaching. I make myself readily available for my students and I do whatever I can to help the students learn. Today's learners are very familiar with technology. Luckily, I have had the opportunity to work in many technology-advanced schools so I, too, am familiar with the use of technology. Most importantly, however, I can teach students WHY the answer they found using technology is correct. Some part of learning is knowing what to do, but the important thing I strive to make sure my students learn is WHY their answers are correct/incorrect. I love being able to make an impact on my students' lives.
I took a high interest in my advanced-level math and science classes in high school and continued it throughout college. I took a wide variety of math classes in college ranging from Calculus to College Geometry a ... read more

LOUD & LIVELY! I like to make the lessons I teach interesting and involvement is key. If I can educate and entertain (a tool I use), I command participation, respect and learning. Due to my style, students, once in a while, think it's all fun and games. I am also an enforcer of rules. If you want to continue to have learn and have fun, you better act right.
As an educator, I have tutored students in mathematics and English from grades 4 through college level. I have taught songwriting in summer camps, 4th grade language arts and ESL to high school kids fresh from Korea. Also, as a Youth Advocate, part of my job description was helping my kids with school work and homework.
