I am a student-athlete tutor during regular school semesters at the University of South Carolina, where I attend college, tutoring in a variety of subjects. I also have extensive experience tutoring high school and grade school students in all areas. I was a volunteer tutor at Mali Vai Washington Kid's Foundation in Jacksonville, Florida, and also at Waverly Afterschool Program in Columbia, South Carolina.

Mastering the PSAT is critical in preparing for the SAT. Knowing the skills and strategies is what I will teach you, and coach you to improve all aspects of your verbal skills. Having been tutor at Huntington Learning centers and a private tutor, I excel at one on one tutoring relationships. It is essential to understand the level of competence of the student and moving from that to gradual improvement of skills. Each student is an individual, with unique views and talents; therefore, each expresses their views in unique ways. It is my job to nurture these views to their ultimate expression. Starting as an English major, and working as a tutor for Huntington Learning Centers, I have always loved working with students of all levels in the English language - in all its facets: from grammar to style. At a time when proper use of the language is increasingly rare (but required to master

My lessons can range from private lessons to group lessons of no more than five at one time. I prefer to be very involved in my students' progress, and will readily explain any questions that they do not understand. My main strategy is basically to lay out the concepts that will be covered that day, go over several practice problems, and give three or four practice problems for the students to work on independently. For art students, I will demonstrate with explanation the concept that we will be covering in that lesson (be it portraiture basics or still life basics), draw diagrams with the steps clearly labeled, and have the student independently work on a similar piece which applies the same concepts. I will supervise the student's progress and correct any lasting errors, but I prefer to have the students produce an almost entirely independently produced piece each session. I have work

I taught in a classroom for one year as a teacher. I have taught title 1 for 3rd and 4th grade for one year. I have subtaught for about 3 to 4 years. I have tutored for about 11 years in all levels of math and basic reading. I am a visiual learner but I understand that all students learn differently.So, I like to change the way I teach to the needs of the student and constantly turning the tables of their questions with questions that make them think and answer for themselves. I can read and write upside down very fluently and I believe this helps the students understanding. I have been voted teacher of the month continuously and students request me by name frequently. I currently work in a tutoring center where I work with 3 on 1. I try to make the student comforable and wants to work as well as enjoys it. I have been told numerous times that they have enjoyed coming to me that the time

Before, during, and after my college graduation, I tutored fellow students having difficulty in math, particularly Algebra. When I began teaching, I not only tutored my own students after school, but I also tutored children on weekends and summer break. When teaching high school, I worked in after-school programs with an emphasis on Geometry. I have also tutored private individuals in Geometry, and have been quite successful in assisting them in raising their standardized test scores. As a teacher, I firmly believe in teaching using all modalities. In large group instruction, I speak and use visual aids simultanously, usually color-coding and using images. This is followed up with hands-on experience, when applicable. When tutoring, I work to assess my students primary learning styles and prepare my lesson plan accordingly.

I enjoy working with a student one-on-one. We 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. Learning is a step by step process and I know that I can guide each child through the steps they need to take to complete any and all challenges they may face, not just in school, but in life. I began tutoring algebra when I was in high school for my boss' kids in the back of the restaurant where I worked. I then went on to get my BA in mathematics at La Salle University, with a m

I believe that students are wary of mathematics and statistics because they appear clinic and distant, with little to do with the “real” world. To educate I try to create dynamic and above all relevant “uses” for the lessons. My experiences have exposed me to different teaching styles and class formats and allowed me to develop a teaching philosophy that encompasses the best of all these methods. My philosophy is best described with reference to six primary concepts: 1. Knowledge conveyed in a relevant context 2. Interaction with each student and the material 3. Passion for teaching and the subject 4. Adaptability 5. Creativity in teaching methods and 6. Respect between the student and the teacher All students seek knowledge; it’s the teacher’s role to facilitate learning and guide them along the path. A successful lesson is one in which the student comes out seeing the world a li

I am a very firm believer in the 7 pathways of learning. I work very hard to reinforce ideas in new and different ways to help any person understand any subject. No two people learn in exactly the same way, and no two people should be taught in the same way. I feel that a big part of what makes me an excellent tutor is that I am able to explore different methods of learning and teaching and apply them to each student to help him or her firmly grasp the concept at hand. I also believe that integrating different disciplines can help bring concepts together, leading to a more complete understanding of all academic areas. I began my college career at New College of Florida, where I studied both mathematics and chemistry. I was an active participant in the Math Clinic, a free tutoring service open to the Sarasota/Bradenton community. From there, I went to Bollettieri, where I worked regularly

I love teaching and I have worked with adults and children of all ages. I have taught different genres to adults and children. I recently taught a dance class to both adults and children. My teaching style relates a student's life experiences to the their tasks. A student's building blocks that bridge the gap to learning is the constructivist approach. This process has a greater retention rate.My philisophy is that everyone is a learner and has the potential for success. Learners discover the a hah when they take ownership for the learning process. I am a life long learner driven with determination. I attended the University of South Florida where I initially majored in Journalism however;after realizing that I'm a visual learner.

Teaching is a passion of mine and a joy. I have had a diverse range of students, each with different needs and approaches to learning. Over time I have gained a better understanding of how to work with each student and use their particular strengths to get the best results. Unfortunately some students slip through the cracks of our educational system, but I really believe that each one is capable of learning and improving if they are given the right kind of attention. Overall, I would say I am a real believer in interactive learning and in engaging students through their unique interests and strengths. Every student presents me with a special opportunity, and I always hope that I can impact their lives in a positive way. I have extensive experience teaching students in grades 2-12 (and college) in both the classroom and one-on-one settings. I have worked for several nationwide educ

Throughout my teaching experience I have encountered students of all ages and abilities, from high school students with learning differences to adult learners of ESL. I believe each student is unique and brings their own set of experiences and strengths to the material to be learned, necessitating an adaptable teaching style. I am experienced in the communicative approach and believe each students learns best through discovery and by utilizing their particular intelligence. I am patient, relaxed and treat each student with respect. I think students learn best when they are having fun and have a trusting relationship with their teacher. While working towards my bachelors degree in English (with a minor in Political Science), I worked as a substitute teacher in the public school system for a year and a half, in order to ascertain my affinity for many different levels and subjects.
