More About This Tutor...

I am a fun, outgoing person who loves to learn. I am patient and willing to spend the necessary time to help students become academically successful. I believe all people have the potential to learn new things and expand their knowledge. I want to help others realize their learning abilities by teaching them new study methods! I believe learning should be fun. If it’s not fun and enjoyable, then it is hard to be motivated to focus on education. Each person has their own unique way of studying and making learning easier. I have several ways that I have found that helps me learn. Because of this, I can help others learn more successful study methods.
I have earned a Bachelor’s in Biology from West Texas A&M University and a Minor in Chemistry and Animal Science. I was home schooled through grade school, and I had to opportunity to help my younger brothers with their studies at home ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I started my education with business management and accounting. As I got further in to my coursework, I realized there was more to business than balancing the checkbook and counting inventory. I started to learn about preparing taxes midway through college and realized that not only did like doing taxes, I also enjoyed helping people. As my knowledge of taxation, from the federal down to municipal level, increased I found myself in a position teaching others to become tax preparers. I enjoyed that experience so much because teaching the topics helped me to understand them better myself. In an endeavor to continually expand my own knowledge, I would like to pursue other teaching and tutoring opportunities.
I am somewhat new to teaching, though my lack of tenure does not equate to my enthusiasm. My approach is to first find out what the students know about the topic and what comfort ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe everyone has the ability to learn and that this truth is one of our defining qualities as humans. The problem arises when we expect the human mind to work in the same way in every individual, when we attempt to use the same strategies to teach the differing learning styles. I begin with each person by learning myself. I need to know what learning style works best for that person, what has been tried in the past, and his/her successes and failures. At all times, when one person is working with another, and especially when one is in the position of aiding another, we must only speak those things which encourage and edify. Professionalism, respect, tenderness, and refinement are my trademarks as an instructor.
While earning my Bachelor of Arts degree in Creative Writing, I served as a tutor in general education at the elementary level. I have often contributed to the c ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My experience is broad and important. Coming from a family of educators and athletic coaches, I know how to use educational, volunteer and work experiences to the benefit of those in need of guidance and direction. With experiences in the fields of construction, engineering, water treatment, natural resource management and diplomacy I can help both overachieving and underachieving students recognize the importance of education and pushing oneself to achieve.
My teaching style is defined by my father, a teacher and coach. Successful in both the classroom and on the athletic field, he made sure that each student and athlete knew what was expected of them. What was expected of them was a mixture of hard work, discipline, sacrifice, and success. Success measured not necessarily by winning, for example, but by doing the best one can do with the gifts they had been given. In the en ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a seeker of truth with an acute interest in human nature, cognition and development, I am naturally drawn to education of today’s children to help construct the foundation for a sustainable tomorrow. I have earned two bachelor degrees, a BA in Philosophy and BA in Anthropology, which has enabled me to gain insight in the acquisition and development of thought, language and literacy. During the last nine years in the classroom I have learned and used practical teaching strategies and have taught students developmental strategies in literacy, math, science, and philosophy. A continuing quest for comprehension outside of the classroom has led me to help children in self understanding and yoga.
I am drawn to education by the enjoyment of children and I am often requested as a substitute teacher because of my calm demeanor, patience and kindness with all children. Children and adult ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

While teaching high school students and adults I have helped many struggling learners. One of my main goals in all interactions with students I strive to build their confidence. I like to be a person my students can trust who they also understand has high expectations for them. My classroom management is built around responsibility and accountability, and humor.
I graduated with a BS in history in 1996. After nearly seven years working for a large communications corporation I returned to college to get my teaching credentials. I completed a years student teaching and have taught middle school and high school at a local private school. At that school I often tutored students, offered help on my own time, and was the monitor of the school's study hall, Homework Club. Since 2009 I have taught adults at a local technical college.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a lifelong musician, I have always allowed my passion for music to drive me towards excellence in a variety of instruments. I have played guitar for 10 years and regularly perform in both church and secular settings. Because I also play bass, drums, keyboard and sing, I have a great feel for how each instrument fills a specific role in the overall sound you are trying to create. Because I have such a love for music, I love to share what I have learned (from both self-teaching and learning in a more formal setting) with others, because I believe music is at its best when it is a collaborative, team effort.
As a teacher, I believe my greatest success comes, not when I set goals for my students and push them towards MY goals, but when I simply facilitate my students pursuit of his/her own personal goals. In my first lesson, I always ask my student what he/she wants to accomplish an ... read more

As a grad assistant in college, I worked for two years teaching students business software programs in a class room environment. I have also been a team leader in an engineering firm (Parsons Brinckerhoff) in which I liased constantly with both the public and field representatives.
I like teaching by example -- that is, a given example of a real world problem that correlates with the subject at hand. I like to first define the objective desired, then work systematically toward achieving every step along the way with the tools at my disposal.

My teaching style is calm, patient, and supportive. I've learned over the years that in every situation, including the classroom, that in teaching writing, the instructor must begin where the student is, recognize and affirm existing positive skills and knowledge, and build on those. Having learned in a high-school volunteer reading tutorial program to never use the word "no," I utilize positive psychology to improve skills, confidence, and self-esteem. Anyone can learn to be a strong writer and enjoy written communication when honest, patient, positive encouragement is available.
I've taught basic English Composition for 30 years in a variety of settings including traditional, non-traditional, and proprietary undergraduate programs; additionally I've taught entry level graduate writing/research and served as department director/administrator in both traditional and prorietary sett ... read more
