My comments on tutoring GED : I'm an expert at helping students do well on standardized tests including GED.

I have logged over 5,000 hours of tutoring in the last four years. I have worked for a game company, which taught me how to approach tests as a contest between student and test-maker, and my extensive background as a writer gives me practical experience when it comes to teaching English and related subjects. My competence in math has always been obvious, as my 796 score (maximum 800) on the math SAT will attest. But most important: I love to teach any child or adult who wants to learn.
I am patient and supportive, but persistent. Each student's mind works differently, and I work tirelessly to find the best way to present material to every child or adult. I have a varied background, not just in the academic world, and I feel I can find the right way to relate to each individual. I try to be somewhat informal, but I recognize the times when a little extra emphasis on the need to real ... read more

GED is one of my top subjects! I have over 10 yrs. teaching a GED math prep course. I've taught/tutored math at the community college level. If you need help with GED math, please contact me. Thanks.

I've taught and tutored both accounting and math on the college level. I'm a CPA by training , and my resume includes working in public accounting and Federal and state government. I've taught/tutored math since 1981, and have taught both accounting and math to studewnts of varying demographics. I've been told that I have an ability to "demystify" many math concepts to increase student knowledge. I've researched "math anxiety" and try to help students grasp various math content ares relevant to their needs. Developmental math is a one of my strong points. I have demonstrated experience in GED, ASVAB and TEAS. I'm certified in SAT math ans SAT reading. My rates are reasonable which I'm willing to negotiate given the right circumstances. I live in the Merrimack Valley area; willing to travel for a minimum commitment of 2 hrs per session.

Ashley Frankian- Special Educator, Ell instructor

I am a strategic based teacher that enhances my students learning through finding their own particular learning style. Each student has and individualized learning approach to their studies. Once they find what works for them, they will succeed. It is my job as an educator to help them find that out. I like to use a multi modality approach so that students learn all different types of learning styles, this way they may pick and choose certain styles that work for them. For example, If the students are writing about a short story they have read, to help them get their thoughts on to paper, I would assist them with graphic organizers to prompt them to list of jot down vocabulary words or important people places or things in the story however, in a manner that helps them to do this with a proper beginning, middle and end. All of this is visually designed on the graphic organizer to help the ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My education degree in journalism reflects my interest and expertise in a wide variety of subjects. Most importantly, I have the ability to communicate, written or orally, and to prioritize and organize. Also, having worked with troubled teens, I find I am at home with difficult learning situations and a wide variety of students. I am comfortable with English (reading, writing, grammar, speeches), basic math, Spanish, basic sciences, and psychology.
My passion is for empowering young adults; perhaps the mantra is "educate to elevate". I have been told I build trust quickly, especially with difficult-to-reach students. Once trust is established there is a burden to do whatever is best for that student. Deadlines go better with a patient hand; discipline goes better with a sense of humor; details are better appreciated with a larger motivational goal. Failure is an underrated ... read more

Read More About Robert W...

I really love teaching and finding different ways of using analogies and similarities to explain difficult concepts. I have been very successful in teaching the sciences and mathematics courses in an understandable way. I believe that everyone is capable of learning the material, it simply needs to be presented in the correct way. Some students are more verbal learners, others are more visual learners. I use plenty of paper to demonstrate ideas and draw diagrams to help make the material more understandable.
As an MIT graduate, I was particularly driven to excel in science and mathematics courses so as to be able to apply these to engineering and technology problems. I subsequently obtained two doctorate degrees: one in medicine and the second in law. I am currently working on the development and patenting of medical devices to improve medical care for patients. ... read more

I worked also with Après la classe (“after classroom”) – 16, rue Commines BP 3003 75121 Paris Cedex 3 – as a tutor from November 1999 to January 2000 and had three pupils: a little girl of 6 years old; we did a lot of reading, a teenager of 13 years old (her sister); we repeated her History and a student of 20 years old that was studying to be a midwife and had bad marks in French literature: I tried to make her love to read but I think that today, I would do better: I would give her some “tricks” to succeed: how to read a text, what “turns” to look for, how to call them (those parts), what for, what do they support, and so on...
If a child, an adult or a teenager doesn't like you, it will be difficult (impossible?) to have him (her) learn from you. Unless you are very strong and I am "nice": I don't like to be rude. So I would need to be appreciated in order to teach. That is why ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Whether I am helping a student with prioritizing assignments, studying for tests, teaching study skills, or guiding him or her process of writing papers, I strive to promote metacognitive awareness throughout the tutoring experience. Students ultimately need to develop an awareness of how they learn best and what strategies work for them. It is my job to facilitate this process while yielding improved academic results through collaboration with students along the way.
Over the course of my years as a Learning Specialist in a university setting, and as Master Tutor Certified by The College Reading and Learning Association, I have developed and refined successful techniques with students who may struggle with the following: executive functioning issues, ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, Asberger’s Syndrome, English as a Second Language, and various non-verbal learning disabilities. MI also have ex ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy being a part of any child's learning experience. I understand the individuality of each child and strive to respond to them as such. This means I try to grasp each student's learning style and adjust my teaching approach accordingly. I strive to create a positive learning environment, focusing on the child's strengths as well as their weaknesses. I believe all individuals learn best when the experience is enjoyable, so when possible, I like to relate the subject matter to the student's interests. I do whatever I can to set each student up for success in all areas.
Education has always been a very important part of my life. Upon graduating high school, I went directly to college at Eastern Michigan University. I earned my BS in Psychology in four years, working as an assistant preschool teacher for one and a half years during that time. After graduating, I worked as a s ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I would describe my teaching style as simple and laid back. I pride myself on my ability to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere that allows students to focus on learning. In addition, many of my high school students, as well as peer teachers who I have tutored for the PRAXIS tests, have commented on my ability to break down topics into simple, manageable parts. I believe these two attributes make me an ideal candidate for private tutoring.
My first experience as a teacher came in high school when I held a part-time job at a Kumon Math and Reading Center. As an undergraduate student at Columbia University I held several after school tutoring positions, some paid and some volunteer. Upon graduation I decided to join Teach For America. For the past year and a half I have been teaching high school mathematics in rural Hawaii while concurrently pursuing a master of education in te ... read more

I love helping students achieve educational goals. I believe that every student has the capacity to learn and the right to be a successful student.

I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am available to help your child find academic success.

I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to learning.

More About This Tutor...

I believe that all children learn best when they experience success. Therefore, I make sure to give all my students opportunities to succeed by asking questions that challenge students to think but are not impossible to answer. My teaching style involves a combination of constructivism and direct instruction. Instead of lecturing, I pose questions, calling on students randomly. When I restate what is correct about a student's answer, my students understand that they have successfully contributed to the learning process. I point out any misconceptions that might arise before they do, so my students avoid making common mistakes. I supplement my lessons with visual representations and videos for visual learners, as well as hands-on, inquiry-based activities for tactile learners. I have extensive experience using technology in the classroom and have designed many interesting laborator ... read more
