I began 'teaching' as the head wakeboarding instructor at Coble Ski School in Lillington, NC, when I was a junior in high school. Shortly thereafter I took a position working at a beach resort in Pensacola, FL, where I spent an entire summer instructing surfing, kayaking and sailing. At Duke I tutored during each of my four years, either biweekly at a local Durham elementary school or at the Emily K Family Life Center. It is there where I tutored once weekly as a senior, up until I graduated in May. I have tutored in all subjects and all ages up through 22.
When I approach a student I've never worked with, my first priority is to make them feel comfortable by letting them see that I am a very nice, friendly, and compassionate person that they might like to have as a friend. Next I try to get them to tell me about themselves in some way (what they've been working on, their fav ... read more

During my time at Duke I enjoyed rigorous pre-medical subjects like biology and chemistry, but my interests also include English and psychology. I graduated cum laude in May 2009 with B.A. degrees in Pre-Med and English/History/Psychology. More importantly, I have tutored biology, writing/grammatical skills, English, psychology, and chemistry to a wide range of students—from college to elementary aged. I hope to put my 4 years of tutoring experience to work for you!
I enjoy being with people! I envision our discussions as part of an exciting collaboration to capitalize upon your strengths and learn in the most effective, efficient, and fun way. We will learn collaboratively to insure you understand what WE have talked about before I leave. I will break down abstract concepts into simple examples and respond to your feedback immediately in a focused yet relaxed atmosphere.

Since I am an engineering student, I have always been interested and excelled in math and science, so I have tutored many kids in all areas of science and mathematics. I have also tutored in Spanish and French. Last year, I worked with a young man who had dyslexia. I have helped kids of all ages, whether at the elementary, high school, or collegiate level.
I am a very patient person, a trait which I believe is very beneficial for a tutor to possess. I am always patient when teaching, and in doing so have succeeded in getting my point across. I like to pass on small tricks and acronyms that I have came up with for many things, some of which I have still retained to this day for my own personal use, not just for school work.

A Little Bit About Me...

During my housmanship in Omdurman Hospital in Sudan I was assigned the task of tutoring medical students during their clinical clerkship period. It was a rewarding experience as it boosted my skill in teaching what I had learned. I enjoyed working with children during my pediatric rotation back in Sudan and I gained a lot of skills for how to best approach them. After I came to the USA and during my preparation to qualify as a doctor, I gained a lot of extra knowledge in biological sciences.
I believe that teaching children is a noble job. I realized that children have an instinctual readiness to learn quickly, but they need someone who knows how to approach them well and efficiently. Presenting the information in the easiest way possible and in an illustrative way was the method that made my students very satisfied with my tutoring

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy both teaching and tutoring. I have a passion for helping those who require multiple levels of assistance with sever facets of the English language. Whether it be a need in decoding, comprehension, essay writing, creative writing, or even vocabulary, I have the skills to bring out the perfection in any student. I specialize in the education and enhancement of all students and I do so by making learning fun. Additionally, I believe that all children can learn and will learn when given the opportunity.
When I completed my degree in English, I happily took on every challenge set before me as a teacher. Therefore, I have a plethora of experience to offer any student who needs extra assistance in both English (literature and writing) as well as literacy and ESL. Due to my diverse skills, I not only teach AP English IV, but I also teach the decoding strand of SRA's corrective read ... read more

While the majority of my instruction is direct and explicit, I find that many times, my students thrive on working problems out by indirect questioning. They find themselves empowered and feel a part of their own education when they are led to the correct response.
Although I started my association with education as a teacher assistant for special education, I quickly grew to love the field and pursued my licensure in special education. I have worked as a teacher for learners with autism within the self-contained setting and I currently provide special education services for students in a resource setting.

After graduating from Purdue University I wanted to challenge what I had learned and how I would apply that in my own classroom. I was driven to find myself as an educator and a professional. I thought a great place for a small town Indiana girl to do that would be in New York City. I found a job in Queens and never looked back. Teaching is my passion and it shows in my lessons and dedication to all of my students learning. I have been a teacher for five years now. In all five of those years I have worked for after school programs in both New York and North Carolina. I have taught test preparation classes and intervention classes. I have learned to design individual lessons that will allow each student to reach their highest potential.
I believe that creating a warm learning environment and a good relationship with a student is the first step to successful learning. When a ... read more

My teaching style is adapted to meet the student’s needs. I firmly believe that each child learns differently. I think students either learn kinesthetically, visually, or auditorally, for the most part. I think it is my job as a teacher to find out which style best suits the student and adapt my style accordingly. I also think that while I am trying to help students develop skills in their weak areas, I need to be focusing on their strengths and building their self-esteem. I think tutoring gives great opportunity for me to achieve this goal.
For my first experience in teaching, I worked with both high school and elementary school students who were learning disabled and in need of help. I used the Orton-Gillingham method for dyslexia and found that it really seemed to work well to suit the student’s needs. From there I went on to work two years in resource rooms working with middle ... read more

I have a passion for teaching. It is my understanding that all children can learn. However it is crucial that students know that it is ok if they learn at a different pace from others. Through patience and compassion on the part of the tutor almost always results in a heightened level of confidence in the learning process as a student. Facilitating their performance in the classroom bringing about a higher self esteem and a willingness to learn. My mission is to enhance a better knoledge of the subject matter in a host of disciplines. I am certain that I have what it takes to teach grades k through twelve.

Teaching to me is about relating the information to the students in a way they can understand. It is very important to make the material relevant to their lives somehow. Therefore it is important to get to know your students and their hobbies and interests. Another key thing needed to teach is patience. You cannot expect them to race through anything. Everyone has their own pace. It is also important to make the information interesting and entertaining to some extent, Especially for younger students. Sometimes an educational game is just as good at getting the information across but at the same time engages the students and keeps them interested.
I have been tutoring since I was 13 years old. Parents of my peers always approached me to teach their son or daughter. After I completed high school with a 4.0 GPA I was hired at a professional tutoring school. There I worked fo ... read more
