I am a College Professor (History, Philosophy, Ethics, English) with many years of tutoring experience. I have taught several test-preparation courses. I have helped many students to achieve well on standardized tests. I am patient and understanding. I have a math/science background and have been teaching basic skills (reading, writing, oral communication) for 30 years. In my experience, the majority of students are highly motivated. This is, for me, the key to success. However, very often, students require assistance with a wide range of ‘remediation’ in many of life’s basic competencies: a skill set that includes such issues as time management, test taking, study habits, and, sometimes, acculturation. My teaching methodology follows these simple steps: Step 1: Motivation Step 2: Definition & Understanding of terms Step 3: Explanation, exploration, discussion, debate Step 4:

Hello there! My name is Nikhil and I would love to be your English tutor and help you improve your confidence with the language. I have several years of teaching experience, which have helped me develop the important skills of patience, communication, creativity, and being organized which are important to being an effective teacher. I used to teach Economics to college freshmen and sophomores while I was a graduate student at the University of Virginia. I was also a Mathematics tutor while I was a senior at Cornell University. Recently, I have worked with adult ESL students in my community who are looking to improve their English skills as well as those looking to take the United States citizenship exam. I have a 160 hour teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL) certificate. As part of my certification process, I studied about the important skills that one needs to teach

My teaching style is focused on student achievement. Many parents complain that their child does poorly on tests. This is often a result of inadequate teaching practices which fail to recognize individual learning differences in students. My goal in teaching is to individualize the learning process for each student, so that the student understands and retains knowledge and is able to explain what they learned. This process increases their test scores and confidence. Students often require that educational materials be modified or accommodated to meet their particular needs. My experience in special education has shown that all students can achieve if knowledge is properly presented and goals well defined. I have over twenty years teaching in the public and private schools in New Jersey. I have taught English, Math, Social Studies, and Business. I am a NJ state certified teacher in

I just graduated with a BA in Psychology and are two courses short of a minor in Spanish and Sociology. I've always been very strong in the English/Language Arts/Writing areas as well. I am currently a certified substitute teacher and also already do some elementary tutoring. Some of my previous tutoring experience include writing, some psychological statistics and some basic math/language skills. I love to teach and help others in general. I always had difficulty when I was younger finding a tutor or some help in my studies that I could understand easily. I am a very patient and have a great sense of humor that come in handy during subjects of frustration. I believe if you can bring a child into their comfort zone and put the directions in the most simple fashion, a child can learn anything! I'd love to turn a subject they avoid into a subject to brag about...

It's true that every student learns at a different pace with a different style. I like to see myself as a cameleon teacher, catering my format to individual needs. My style tends to be laid back so that students are comfortable expressing their likes and dislikes with me, curbing their fear of not understanding something. I love to use metaphors, pictures, examples and stories to illustrate the subject in a new and perhaps clearer way. I don't teach and run - I make sure the student understands before moving on to the next problem. I have them work through something in front of me so I can make sure they know what they're doing. And, finally - importantly - I keep a healthy, balanced sense of humor. My original plan was to major in Education, but decided to double major in school, then obtain my teaching certificate after graduation. Now, armed with two degrees and a desire to enter the

As a political scientist turned full time tutor, I found a calling in the tutoring and test preparation industry. I received my doctorate at Rutgers University where I taught courses in political science and expository writing. Besides teaching, I have also served in project management positions in various academic institutions. I value critical thinking and the inherent potential of all to succeed. I believe in accessing the individual learning style of each student before developing lesson plans. I specialize in writing essays and helping students translate their ideas onto paper. I also help students understand complex math problems by teaching effective methods to solve challenging questions.

My curiosity to understand systems and solve complex problems drove me to major in Computer & Information Science and minor in Mathematics. Due to my approach to presenting materials/work in a simplified way for my audience, my teacher recommended me as a math tutor in my sophomore year. Throughout my last two years in college, I tutored almost all level of undergraduate mathematics, physics, and entry level statistics. After graduation, I was accepted in the Philadelphia Teaching Fellow. I taught in Philadelphia School District both in the middle and high school levels mathematics. My diverse experience has enabled me to work with students at various academic levels and social circumstances. My students tagged me “Mr. O. makes it simple”. During my tenure in the classroom, I justified that all students can learn and perform above average if given the appropriate environment, and the tea

I have my BS in Psychology and BA in Art. In May 2003, I received my Masters of Education (M.Ed.) from the University of Maryland in College Park. My work towards this degree provided me with an extensive understanding of scientifically based research, lesson plan development, and teacher training skills. I have worked as an educational researcher on three large-scale government grants studying students’ language and literacy development, and reading motivation, in preschool through college. I am a determined, enthusiastic, and highly motivated teacher. I want students to grow academically, socially, and emotionally in an atmosphere that is stimulating and adaptive to their diverse needs. I have focused on instilling in my students a love of learning. I believe it takes more than a single individual to make a difference in the lives of a student. Therefore, I have learned the value of

Having taught adults with no background in English, to 8th grade girls that had many different teachers, I have realized that every student learns in a unique way. Some people need to see the material, others need to write it out for themselves, and some need to hear the material in order to retain it. I usually try several different approaches until I see a positive response from the student. I also believe that you don’t know something until you can teach it to someone else; I encourage my students to re-explain things to me in their own words allowing me to be sure they’ve understood the lesson. It took me years to come into my academic stride, so I have the patience to deal with children that are not performing as would be expected, because some kids need a little more time and attention than some of their peers. Through several different institutions I have had the opportunity to tu

I have taught Mathematics/Statistics at all levels (B.S. and M.S) at both US and Indian Universities for over 3 decades. Because of my passion for teaching, I have taught Mathematics and Statistics in George Washington University, National Institute of Health and University of Virginia, while being a Team Leader/Vice President in Food and Drug Administion and INC. Research, respectively. I have also remotely guided a couple of Senior High School Students in their AP Mathematics courses and project work in Statistics. I am a firm believer in teaching the basic concepts in Mathematics and Statistics in a constructive way so that the students would comprehend/understand the problem and work on their own with some guidance. When I was a graduate student, I was a very popular teaching assistant.

As a full time tutor and academic coach, I have spent 1000+ hours privately tutoring, holding classes and teaching middle and high school to understand the many learning styles needed to achieve success. I possess an BA in English and an MBA in Human Resources. After 30 years in Corporate America, I retired early and returned to teaching, tutoring and coaching. I work with the student's strengths to ascertain their learning style and then apply these to the area needing improvement. No one style will work for every child. Therefore, I work independently with each child's style and work to make a marked improvement in their success.
