I have been a tutor for several years. While in college, I have tutored several subjects. Here are my testing scores: ACT 32 (English 35, Science 31, Math 33, Reading Comprehension 29) SAT 2100 (Verbal 670, Math 700, Writing 730) Based on my scores for the National Merit test, I was selected as a National Achievement scholar. I have tutored in both group and individual settings. I believe that the best way to improve is to PRACTICE. We will begin by determining where your strengths and weaknesses within a particular are. This will be accomplished through the use of a standardized practice test that I will provide. After determining what is necessary, I will work with you on all aspects of the subject. We will spend the majority of the time on those areas that are not as strong as the others; however, we will still spend a significant amount of time on those things which you h

My approach is to cater to my students. For example, if a student is very interested in comic books and I am tutoring them in Spanish, I would find Spanish comic books appropriate for their age group. When it comes to history I like to introduce my students to the importance of essay writing and how to write a good history essay as well as timelines and Historical Identifications. If I am tutoring a high school student not only will I help them with their current work but I would also prepare them for history on the college level. I want my students to excel and be prepared for whatever comes next in their educational journey. My name is Leslie W. and I am a junior at Louisiana State University. I am currently majoring in History and Spanish. I am very interested in pursuing a career in Civil Rights, Immigration, or Business Law. I am originally from the Washington, DC area. I graduat

I have been tutoring in various subjects for 3 years. 2 of those years were in a university setting, in a university sponsored learning center. Through this job, I received training each semester on dealing with learning differences, learning disabilities, and communicating complicated ideas in a manner that is easy to understand. I use open-ended questions and try to break tasks into manageable steps until the student has a good grasp of the topic. I almost never just give answers away, because that doesn't help you learn; I will walk you through the steps and give you reassurance when you are on the right track.

I began working in Tangipahoa Parish February of 1983. I tutored in the Migrant program When our school moved I moved to a 6th Grade class where I taught self-contained, team taught, etc. When we moved, once again, to a new school I with Mrs. Deborah Ellzey as a team-teacher. I taught Math, Science, and Social Studies. I have continued to teach with varying class situations in 4th, 5th, and 6th grade subjects and am currently teaching 5th Grade Math Enrichment. I have attended professional development to include Learning Styles, Technology courses, and Mentor/Assessment Teacher training. I am a LaSip teacher, I am flexible in my style because each child is unique. It is important to address the needs of all groups. I incorporate a variety of strategies so that all are involved and challenged to learn. Like a doctor, I prescribe a learning path and adjust the strategies as

In general, I like to assist the student visually and with real-life examples of how subjects such as chemistry, physics, and math can be applied to everyday life. My goal is to make learning fun not by lecturing, but encouraging the student to get involved and ask questions. Situations do arise when it is beneficial to lecture and let the student "soak up" knowledge through diagrams and examples on the board. I find both teaching styles work, and tailor each lesson based on the needs and capabilities of the student. With 2 BS degrees, Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, I have been exposed to all of the most important fundamental disciplines that children need to be successful today. Math and science are my strong points, and I have much experience as a peer tutor throughout my collegiate and high school studies. I feel very comfortable teaching physics, chemistry, calculus and mat

I have spent the last seven years as lecturer in Music Theory at Southeastern Louisisana University. I have tutored in Music Theory while at this post at back through undergraduate school. I have taught private lessons in piano by both Suzuki and Traditional methods for over 20 years. I believe my experience in writing a thesis and articles in my field would qualify me to tutor in academic writing. Private lesson teaching is my favorite teaching. It is a unique opportunity to adapt one's teaching approach to a single individual, to create the perfect learning environment moment to moment. When I teach privately I am patient, flexible, and supportive. I believe absolutely in every human being's ability to learn, and in their ability to attain the sense of personal dignity that grows out of learning success.

I have earned two degrees: a B.S. in Biology and an M.S. in Biology. I have taken a wide range of courses in biology and have a great deal of knowledge about them all. One of my courses required me to teach in a lab. Through this I was able to gain valuable teaching experience and interact with students as well. I enjoy sharing my knowledge of biology with others. I am patient and laid back with students, but I also know when to push them to work harder to achieve their goals. Each child requires a different level of motivation and after a few sessions I will be able to assess each students individual needs.

My teaching style is friendly and approachable. I find putting a student at ease in the beginning allows them to open up to me in order for us to both find out how he or she learns best, especially since I feel learning styles vary for each individual and often differs for some subjects. For example, I may want to use pictures and art to explore history versus reading and lecture type presentations. I have taught both college and AP High School for college credit in the areas of Humainties, Religious Studies and English composition at three different institutions. Though I do well in large classroom settings, I prefer more personalized instruction settings. I think I would make an excellent tutor in the areas of English Composition and Literature and World History on both the high school and college level, and would likely do quite well to tutor high school French.
