EXPERT TUTOR-MultiSubject; Home/ONLINE; +WRITING instructor

As a tutor, I find that it is important to present the material to the students in a way that they can relate to. My job as an educator is to teach them how to learn it and make them want to learn it. I personally do not believe that negative reinforcement is beneficial. Positive responses to students are extremely valuable, even if they may occasionally give the wrong answer. This will give them the motivation to do well. My philosophy is that teaching is part knowledge, part communication, and part intuition. My intuition is necessary to understand where a student is getting stuck. I myself already understand the material; the challenge is to understand why a student does not. A variety of communicative teaching approaches is best. I have learned that different students respond to visual, auditory, or tactile methods. As always, continuous practice is extremely important. I also must ... read more

My teaching style varies with student learning styles. Although drill may be appropriate for some skills, my preference is project or problem based methods that draw on the learner's experiences and interests. I work from students' current skill levels, provide challenging problems, model successful learning skills, encourage students' to express creativity and intuition, and employ formative and normative assessments. I firmly believe that more advanced mathemtaics can be taught to younger and more diverse students. I believe that all students, of all skill levels, can learn mathemtaics if creatively taught.
I have spent over 30 years in business and financial consulting. My lifelong passion has been for mathematics and education. I have reached a point in my career where I can focus on giving back of my talents to students through mathematics education. I have minimal formal teac ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

For four years I taught in private schools, where I gave instruction at the middle and high school levels in English, French, Hebrew, computer programming, and office applications (spreadsheets, etc). I taught Math and English for one year at a Huntingdon Learning Center (elementary through high school students). Prior to this I taught French and Linguistics courses at the State University of NY at Albany where I earned a degree in each of those fields. Later I became a database administrator. Today I develop web applications in the C# programming language and the Transact SQL query language. I have also given private music lessons over the years to a total of 20 to 30 students. I play guitar, trumpet, a little piano, and I sing.
I have always told my classes, "Learning can be fun; and if it's not, you may not be doing it right." Of course, that does not mean learning is ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy enabling students to discover the abilities within themselves. I excel at being able to get students to find answers to their struggles by asking them the right questions, leading them in the right direction instead of doing the work for them. I have an uncanny ability to see the best in all students, patience, understanding, and flexibilty are virtues in tutoring. Each student is unique and needs an individual style of assistance. A solid educational foundation provides the confidence to reach goals, my desire is to help studetns dream bigger by showing them the true reaches of their potential.
At the age of 24 already possessing a bachelor's and master's degree illustrates my efficiency and determination. I have taught English as a second language at the high school level and politcal science at the university level. I am very personable and able to relate to various typ ... read more

As the daughter of educators, I have been exposed to the education system all my life. As a result of this exposure, I became very interested in tutoring and teaching. I taught for two years as a substitute teacher before attending law school. I previously worked as a substitute teacher with Morrow Elementary in North Lauderdale, Florida where I taught test-taking strategies for the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test. Most recently, I have volunteered with Youth Encouragement services as a tutor.
Based on previous experience I have discovered that the same teaching style does not work for every child. I find that explaining each topic and asking the child question gives a clear indication of their understanding. Based on responses to the questions adjustments may be made to address each child's need.

My teaching style centers around the idea that every kid learns differently. Some understand pictures better some words. Either way someone learns, they stay focused through fun, enthusiastic teaching. Ironically I believe its not always a childs intelligence level that holds them back, its often more the attention the receive from teachers and the style that they filter through. With that in mind, I believe in empowering students to believe in themselves and get excited to achieve goals they never have before. I'm passionate about helping people become who they're made to be and that defines my style best.

I first began tutoring during high school, volunteering with Time to Rise in Nashville, TN, a program that supplies students from underperforming schools with supplemental education. After high school, I excelled during college at the University of the South, spending time in Oxford at St Catherine's College, graduating summa cum laude, and being elected into Phi Beta Kappa. The liberal arts curriculum there provided such a broad education that I have maintained competency in nearly every subject. Such an education has come in handy during the four months I have been tutoring, as the students I assist will ask my help on subjects ranging from geology, to English lit, and to mathematics.
My own experience as a student has shown me that i was most effectively motivated when I realized the enjoyment I could draw from schoolwork. Approached in the right way, all aspects of the educatio ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that all children, given the proper setting and motivation, can be successful students. I love talking with students and finding the things that make them tick. Once I find that, motivation is relatively easy and the rewards are great for the student and for myself. I believe strongly in instrinsic motivation and in a creative style of teaching given the interests of the student. Nothing pleases me more than seeing a smile come across the face of a struggling student when the lightbulb goes on. I try to not only teach students how to succeed but how to excel once they feel confident with the material.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in English. I worked for 10 years in the Athletic Academic Support Center holding study hall and providing academic support to student athletes from all sports. In addition, I worked for a short time tutoring middle school students after school ... read more

I love to teach, and I have taught many subjects. I have worked with students in art, french, English, and art history. Each subject and each student requires a different approach, and I enjoy rising to this challenge. I enjoy witnessing my students' success. In college, I specifically tutored student athletes who were in danger of losing their scholarships because of grades. All of my students maintained their GPA's and did not lose funding. I like to see this kind of success for others through my work. I find the needs and learning style of each student and work with them so that they learn the best and learn the most.

Because I have an extensive background in Psychology, I have a strong understanding of the learning process, as well as many other factors that affect it. I focus on each individual child's strengths and use that to bring their weaknesses up to a higher level. Through patience and encouragement, I believe that most children can experience dramatic improvements in their abilities. I am able to explain complex ideas clearly, in simple terms that are understandable. Then I expand on what the child already understands until they have mastered the more advanced concepts. I greatly enjoy the excitement, challenge, and reward of enriching a child's life through education.

As an English major at the University of Florida, I found a love for language learning and language acquisition; as a result, I declared Linguistics and TESL as additional majors. In these majors, I became quit ept at understanding grammatical principles and language learning theory. I began volunteering my knowledge to foreign language learners and found that I loved helping others learn. After receiving my BA, I began teaching writing and reading to native and non-native speakers at Santa Fe Community College in Gainesville, FL. As an English teacher, I also found other job opportunities at labs on campus and with private tutoring companies. One of the labs I worked in, the CLAST lab, also tutored math: college algebra, statistics, geometry, and logic. In this lab, I learned how to effectively teach math as well. In addition, I began teaching speed reading with a private seminar gr ... read more

I'm patient and understanding the complexities of accounting and the ensuing panic that it sometimes causes. In my experience the fundamental reason people need tutoring boils down to a failure to truly understand the concept of the debit and credit. I always begin by reviewing these concepts and ensuring that the student/intern fully understands the logic behind the debit and credit. Once understood, the comfort level with accounting fundamentals drastically improves and we can move on from there. I thoroughly enjoy seeing the improvement in my students/interns and the thanks that I receive at the end of their time with me. I love to hear it and will never tire of hearing it because it is the reason I encourage the experience.
