A Little Bit About Me...

My style of teaching really depends on the student and his/her learning style. Different students learn in different ways. I believe it is my responsibility to find which style works best for the student(s).
First teaching job was in a school for severely autistic children. After being there for a year I taught in a residential home for boys. This was challenging but probably one of my favorite jobs as a teacher. Because of the distance from home to work (about 1-1/2 hrs.), I applied at an urban school 20 minutes from my home. My first job there was managing the Young Parents Program. This was a program for high school girls who were pregnant or had already had a child. This program allowed the young girls to attend school. Due to budget restrictions it was cut. I was offered a position as a special education teacher in the high school. I have been doing that for the pas ... read more

I have worked with teenagers, young adults and older students returning to college. I work especially well with students who have a lack of confidence about their academic or intellectual abilities. May students have told me years after taking my courses that they would not have made it to graduation without my help. I also served as a drama director at one of my colleges and produced 4 highly successful full-length plays. Ten years after one of the productions the entire cast planned a surprise reunion for me at a local restaurant. I could ask for greater 'applause' for my teaching efforts.

More About This Tutor...

I recently graduated cum laude from the University of Rhode Island with two Bachelors of Science in Marine Geology and Maritime Law. I teach sailing and environmental education in the summers. This means very little however as I aspire, one day, to become a lighthouse keeper. Sadly, few can find such a position these days. I enjoy writing, science, mathematics, literature and most all music.
When I taught sailing to young kids, I used to dress up like a pirate. I have lots of energy. I know I'm doing my job right when kids start laughing. When I taught to teenagers, I kept in mind my own experiences at that age. If I'm helping a student study hard on that big, important test that might have the ability to crush the student's soul - I bust out my acoustic guitar and sing about how It's The End of The World As We Know It (And This Test Means Very Little In The Long Run ... read more

While living in San Antonio, Texas, I served my students as an adjunct instructor of American History at St. Mary’s University and San Antonio College. In 2006 I began facilitating courses online for Axia College of University of Phoenix and Excelsior College. While at Axia I instructed several different writing courses including Effective Persuasive Writing, Effective Essay Writing, Research Writing, and Written Communication. I can say with confidence that students at all of the institutions that I’ve had the privilege of working for benefitted from my knowledge and experience, and that same level of professionalism will be brought to yourself or your child.
From my many years of experience I have learned that the most important aspect of teaching style is to stay in contact with each student. Educational psychologists have demonstrated that students of all ages have an inheren ... read more

As the oldest of five children I not only love children, but I have a life-time long experience with them. I have babysat for years in my spare time- I am great at communicating and connecting with children. The connection factor is what I believe to be most important. My tutoring style is relaxed yet at the same time driven towards helping the 'student' to understand the topic or idea at hand. It is your job to not only help them by assisting the student with information you already have, but to allow them to feel comfortable and confident enough to arrive at the answer along their own path.
My experience in the field of tutoring is personal. I do not have formal previous experience with a formal institution that provides me with students to tutor- instead- my love and passion for reading, writing and literature in general has driven me to tutor friends and family concerning this ... read more

Friends and colleagues often tell me that I should have been a teacher instead of an entrepreneur based on my clarity of expression and passion for instructing. I instinctively augment my spoken word with drawings, gestures or other “reference systems” to help learners grasp the necessary background and repeat processes on their own. I prefer incremental check-ins to make sure students understand intermediate steps and apply theoretical concepts to real life situations whenever possible. Most of all, I have boundless enthusiasm for these topics which further engages my students in the process of learning.
Though my educational background tells of a ‘numbers’ background (economics, MBA), I consider myself a strong communicator and leader, too. I was fortunate to attend a leading high school, which gave me the foundations to excel at Colby College (undergraduate, magna cum laude) ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

With my degree in communications I am very confident in my ability to explain clearly, ideas and lessons. My career has been in sales and design of educational interiors. This role of 20 years has drawn from and strengthened my writing and oral skills. I have four kids ages 8mo, 5, 7, 14. We home school our 14 year old. I am also very involved in our 7 year old's schoolwork and homework.
I consider myself a 'people-person'. I coached youth sports for 10 years and enjoy working with kids. I am a relaxed, creative and centered teacher. Kids want to learn; in sports, academics and in life in general. They also want to have fun and be excited about it. I believe I make this possible. Our 5 year old is autistic and cognitively delayed. We have been successful at making learning fun, even for her.

Teaching is my vocation and as a highly trained analyst, I take great joy in shaping strategy and understanding how all the elements of business fit together. There is nothing more gratifying, however, than sharing that with young people, watching them grasp an idea or convincing them that accounting is, in fact, exciting because of its necessity in the whole picture. I love to walk into a classroom and assess the many different talents, ideas and needs and connect to each person, thus I prefer small classes and one-on-one teaching. Teaching is personal and each student is different bringing myriad of possibilities and challenges that should leave you a different person having shaped and directed some of those possibilities and challenges.
My work experience in industry and my intensive graduate academic training well positioned me for college level teaching. I taught a variety of ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a student teacher in a third grade classroom in West Hartford, CT, I had the opportunity to create and implement active, hands-on lesson plans in all subject areas including thematic, cross-curricular units on Forces and Motion, Native Americans, and Poetry as well as assess, evaluate and monitor student progress. In addition to student teaching, I have done volunteer work in a second grade classroom in Hartford, CT, assisting students with independent math work. I have earned a BS degree in Business Administration and recently completed my MEd in Elementary Education. I also have over three years of professional experience working in a business environment as an insurance underwriter.
As a teacher, I am compassionate and patient. I believe in the importance of setting high standards for each unique student and providing the guidance they need to feel safe, confident and com ... read more
