My teachers have been a great influence on me hence I think that each child should have an opportunity of having a good teacher. According to me a good teacher is one who understands the student completely. A teacher should make the child enjoy what he or she is studying and the teacher should also be friendly and should make the student welcome. Every child learns in different ways, and may be better at learning some ways than others. With my past experience I think I have learned a great deal on how to deal with a diverse classroom. All students can achieve their dreams if they are encouraged and have a good environment. I think I posses good teaching skills and can make my students learn and can make them enjoy the learning process.
I got my bachelors degree from India. My specialization was in Physics, Chemistry and Math. I am interested in chemistry and hence I enrolled into a ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have worked with youth for the past eight years, beginning with my volunteer work as a camp counselor with my community 4-H group. I have since worked as summer camp staff; lead tutor for a private tutoring company; case manager with a focus on academic improvement, college preparation and dropout prevention; and most recently as a kindergarten and third grade English teacher. Because I have worked with children who came to the US as refugees from developing countries, I am very comfortable working with diversity. I have spent time working and studying outside the US and speak advanced Spanish and basic Arabic. Because of my extensive writing experience as a freelance journalist, I am very comfortable tutoring even the highest level of English or writing. I have bachelor degrees in Spanish and International Studies from the University of South Florida, both of which are magna cum ... read more

I am confident that my I can relay my knowledge of these skills to students with my counseling experience.

I love educating others and teaching others to teach themselves. I believe each one of us has a specific learning style that needs to be discovered and emphasized for maximum learning potential. The responsibility of an educator is to understand learning differences and make sure to use learning tools that best suites the ... read more

Last spring I graduated from the University of Florida Romance Languages and Literatures Department with a BA in French. Notably, I was one of only two students to graduate with honors. Not only am I a qualified tutor as a result of my strong academic capabilities and background due to writing extensive research papers in both French and English, but I also have a wide variety of experiences. I have tutored and/or taught students from nearly every age group and background including: elementary, middle, high school and college students to sixty years old adults. Since my freshman year of college, I have been teaching and tutoring a wide range of subjects including elementary to college level French, English and ESL, basic mathematics, test-taking and study skills. In addition, I worked at the University of Florida Career Resource Center helping students draft and revise resumes, co ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

With a BA in communications and a minor in sociology, I have an understanding in many subject areas such as, english, history, speech and media. As a graduate student I have extensive experience in writing papers and doing extensive research. I have worked as a newsroom researcher in the past. I am currently working on my graduate Thesis as well. I have experience in teaching students in elementary school up to the college level. At Long Island University I have worked as a graduate assistant, and a Tutor. I also have experience in working with students in after school programs.
I am a very hands on person, who believes that with patience each person can learn. Some people must understand that each person learns in a different way. I do not believe that people should compare one child to the next, because it is unfair.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is direct, disciplined, relaxed and conversational. It will not work to just dictate to a student! The point, I think, in tutoring, is to develop good study habits and identify and discard the bad ones. Once we know what works, we can proceed from there. It is also a question of knowing that studying can be made interesting and fun. Most high schools serve up tedious, boring curricula in tedious, boring ways. Yes, there are some things that need to be memorized, there is some brain sweat involved, but overall I believe that my education is expansive enough to offer a new way that can rejuvenate your child's interest in learning and the subject matter involved.
My teaching experience was ultimately a learning experience for me. While attending Brown University to get my MFA in Fiction Writing, I also got the opportunity to teach two college courses in my d ... read more

It's true that every student learns at a different pace with a different style. I like to see myself as a cameleon teacher, catering my format to individual needs. My style tends to be laid back so that students are comfortable expressing their likes and dislikes with me, curbing their fear of not understanding something. I love to use metaphors, pictures, examples and stories to illustrate the subject in a new and perhaps clearer way. I don't teach and run - I make sure the student understands before moving on to the next problem. I have them work through something in front of me so I can make sure they know what they're doing. And, finally - importantly - I keep a healthy, balanced sense of humor.
My original plan was to major in Education, but decided to double major in school, then obtain my teaching certificate after graduation. Now, armed with two degrees and a desire to ente ... read more

Over the years, I have volunteered in orphanages in Central America, worked as a camp counselor and a soccer coach in Canada, tutored English in illiteracy centers in Dominica and tutored various subjects in school settings in Canada and USA. From all of my experiences, I discovered the diversity and unique qualities that each child possesses. My goal is to provide a safe and nurturing environment for your child so he/she can reach their personal academic goals and learn topics that they may have once seen to be impossible. I believe my simple yet thorough teaching style, enthusiasm and patience when working with students and vast experience in tutoring will help your child feel more confident and as a result, succeed academically.
I have had the opportunity to tutor students in various subjects (eg. math, biology, English, science). I have also had the privilege to work with stude ... read more

As a family and consumer science educator I have taught many different courses and a diverse population of students. I have taught clothing and fashion, food and nutrition, international and regional foods, culinary arts, life skills, and I have taught courses catered towards special education and ESL students. I am fluent in Spanish and have a true passion for teaching. I have recently been assigned tutoring a special education student. I teach him basic nutrition and how to live with diabetes. I find tutoring a very rewarding aspect of teaching.
I believe that all children have strengths and weaknesses. As an educator I have to encourage students to focus on their strengths while assisting them with those areas that cause them difficulty. There should never be a point when a child cannot learn. Children can learn anything given the right instruction and environment that caters to ... read more
