Computer Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Albion, PA

Teaching is my passion. I strongly believe that every moment is a teaching moment, whether or not it is intended to be. I feel that my job as a tutor and as a teacher is to bring out the knowledge within. I understand that every learner is different and for this reason I begin with an assessment of each student. I then try to use their learning habits as a start for future lessons. I believe in learning through experience as opposed to memorization and so every opportunity I try to create a hands-on environment. I also am intentional in personalizing lessons so that they make sense and are fun to the learner. I also stress retention of information through constant review and skill-building. I am a very patient, encouraging, and enthusiastic tutor. I am an upcoming May 2006 graduate from Allegheny College, majoring in English. Given my background at a small, liberal arts college a

Everyone learns differently. I think by involving as many of your senses you are able to learn and retain information better. Teaching information and giving examples that are relavent to the student's life and experiences help teach the student that learning is important.The advances in technology and utilizing these resources are very important. Computer animation and pictures are amazing tools for any student, especially students that learn visually. The education system is going in the right direction by thinking outside the box. They are using every resource available to enpower students. I would like to use my education and talents to tutor students. I earned two degrees, one in biology and the other in health science. I am very knowledgable in biology, general sciences, anatomy and physiology, as well as chemistry and math. Irecently substitute taught all grade levels (pre-K

I love the experience of teaching children and seeing the light in their eyes when they understand what they are learning. I believe each child learns in their own way and in their own time. As such, I believe in going along with the student's ability. I do not believe in high pressure teaching. I am patient and easy going. If a student is struggling, I back up and try another approach. I strive for my students to enjoy what they are learning as much as possible. I earned my Bachelor degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Mathematics. I was a substitute teacher for three years. I recently earned nine credit hours of additional education in order to renew my teaching license with the State of Ohio. Currently a stay-at-home mother, I give piano lessons to students at various levels of ability. I took piano lessons for eight years and am considered to be an advanced player

As a tutor, my job is to take students from where they are to where they need to be. I can do this successfully for several reasons. First, I am patient. Often student frustration stems from classes proceeding too fast, and teachers lacking time to help slower learners. By patiently working with a student, I can teach at a pace that works best for them, overcoming much discouragement that comes from falling behind. Second, I am very flexible in my teaching methods. If a student is struggling, I am committed to trying different approaches until the student has mastered the concept. Finally, and just as importantly, I am friendly, easygoing, and have a sense of humor. Putting students at ease makes learning easier and more fun for everyone. Having recently completed my doctoral degree, I have a good grasp of what it takes to be successful academically. My degree required extensive trainin
