Patient, Effective Tutor for Any Subject, Any Age, Any City

May I be a personal tutor for you or your child? I have been successfully tutoring for over 12 years. I have some glowing letters of recommendation, and among the highest ratings in this region. I graduated with honors, Summa Cum Laude from Case Western Reserve University, where I made the Dean's List.

I have also served on the faculty at Cuyahoga Community College. I am patient, friendly and many students tell me that I explain concepts more effectively than their teachers.

I am currently pursuing my Master's Degree in special education at Kent State University, and have a Bachelor's degree in Hearing, Speech, and Language Sciences.

As a graduate student I am required to take coursework in all content areas including reading, language arts, math, and science, with a specific focus in reading.

I have worked with all different ages of students, from 3rd grade to college, and enjoyed all of my experiences. I find that no matter who the student is I enjoy teaching and helping other, helping an individual to not only grasp concepts but develop a stronger self confidence in their learning. I am good at adapting to a variety of learning styles, especially since I have found that I learn from a variety of types myself. I have always been extremely patient when teaching others and found the act of teaching to be one of the most rewarding and enjoyable things for me.
As a Hiram College student I feel I have gained a great deal of knowledge through a combination of learning from excellent instructors and having a variety of teaching experiences.

I believe that education begins with having a positive approach to learning. To that end, I respect the student by creating an environment that is comfortable and fun to learn in. Concepts are brought "to life" using a variety of mediums, such as puppets and games. I am enthusiastic about learning and work well with parents to encourage student success. I believe all students can learn, but each student is different and has his or her own way of learning. My goal is to find better ways of engaging students in the learning process and receive no greater reward than seeing a student's eyes light up because he or she has learned.
I have earned a BA degree in Family and Child Development and an MA degree in Early Childhood Education. In addition, I hold a valid Ohio teaching license for grades P-3 and have taught Pre-K, Kindergarten, and 1st grade. I am currently an Administrator for a ... read more

My style is simple and direct. My experience suggests that all students can learn if the teacher can find some common interest point to get the ball rolling. My students are encouraged to be creative in their problem solving. I try to utilize as many age appropriate real life examples to make the learning more engaging and relevant to the subject at hand.
As a lifelong learner, I took on the challenge to complete my Bachelors and Masters degree after working as a professional musician for 15 years. My earlier undergraduate work combined music with a broadcast journalism minor. I have used those skills to write, as well as produce music , videos and edit for television. As a classroom music teacher and administrator, I used computer technology and the arts to teach reading, writing and math. During the past seven years, I have been a community mentor who tutored school age students ... read more

Teaching, or the best teachers, are required to have a certain undertanding that not just anyone has. I think teaching is a decision that demands patience, excitement, encouragement, care, and the love of making the best students possible. Constructivist approaches to learning and inquiry based teaching, appreciating multiple intelligences, and methods of learning, are all part of my approach to teaching. Students have interests that vary and their interests may very well round out their desire to learn. I strive to make sure to it that my students take away something to learn every time that I see them.
As a driven student & business owner, I've had ownership stakes in different businesses. Educationally, I have had a natural love for mathematics (BS) & life sciences (short of minors in chemistry, physics, and biology). As my involvement in business increased while still in s ... read more

My life-long pursuit of excellence in academics and education has led to a Magna Cum Laude undergraduate degree with Honors Society Membership in addition to many solid recommendations from accomplished professionals. During my undergraduate years, some of the areas in which I excelled included: music theory and history, piano pedagogy, psychology, Spanish and English composition (including APA and MLA styles). I tutored elementary math and reading comprehension, as well as college 200-level Spanish. My teaching areas included Spanish and piano (for groups and individuals). Since graduation, I am now employed part-time as a group piano instructor.
The mastery of academic subjects should be a very personally meaningful experience. To educate is to deeply enrich. No teacher should embark on the journey of education with out truly wishing to equip his or her students with the tools th ... read more

As a graduate of Kent State University's Bachelor Of Arts program, I have acquired many skills. I have experience in tutoring students in the arts as well as sciences and math for more than 10 years. I pride myself on my teaching ability. I think teaching is an art in itself. I have worked with a diverse group of students.
As a teacher, I realize every person is different. I like to work on learning the personality of the student. With a strong background in philosophy and psychology, I can make it a priority to ensure that a child receives a sense of accomplishment and gain self esteem in his or her work.

Working with children has always been a passion of mine. Although my BA is in psychology, I also took several courses in Early Childhood Education, including classes such as Reading Development and Elementary Mathematics. I believe that children learn in different ways, and will strive to help your child succeed academically. I am very patient and will work hard to ensure your child fully understands the subject matter.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a great advocate of education, I aim to offer my students with the best learning experience possible. For that reason, while tutoring in college, I started reading and learning about the many teaching styles used in schools. This helped me find my own teaching style that focuses on each student individually. I try to mix several teaching styles in order for the student to understand and feel comfortable with the material. However, based on my own personal experiences, the teaching style that provided the best results to my students was the demonstrator teaching style. I use audio, video, role playing, personal experiences, class discussions, brainstorming, critical thinking, and other direct observations to allow students to use all their senses in their learning experience. I try to plan my lessons and educational activities in a manner that tends to simplify and clearly represent th ... read more

I earned a 98% in my College Algebra course this past fall so I am here to lend a hand to those who could use it. My focus in college was Communication with a minor in Philosophy. I also studied international relations for 6 months in Europe, earned a certificate in graphic and web design in San Francisco, and I am currently studying medical imaging here in Cleveland. I also have a great deal of experience as a singer and guitar player, which is where the bulk of my teaching experience comes from. I have taught music to dozens of people of all ages over the past 7 years.
I believe that comparing complex concepts to everyday, personal objects and situations is the most effective way to learn. Therefore, I am big on metaphors. Algebraic concepts and formulas can often be, I have found, analogous to much simpler ideas or images. Once the abstract is related to the mundane, we can brea ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Being from the area and having worked in education my entire career, I have a good understanding of the needs of today's student. I currently work at a local University where I see firsthand the struggle underprepared students face. I am an experienced educator having taught every grade level from preK through college.
My style of teaching is adaptive for each individual student when possible. Each student has their own way of learning and it is my job to adjust to that. I try to meet the student where they are right now and devise a plan to fit what they want to do and accomplish the goals that they set. I treat each student with respect and expect the same in return. I am flexible and understanding, but I will push the student to achieve their potential.
