I know many basic theories in sociology due to my B.A. in Anthropology with a concentration in cultural anthropology. I am someone who understands that not all children learn effectively the same way. I am someone who will sit down with my student and ask them questions regarding how they learn and how they do not learn. Sometimes a student will not know how they learn effectively but they will know what does not work for them. From there I try to tailor a program to suit that student. As a tutor you are able to have that one on one time and you can design your instructions for a specific student therefore making your teaching more effective. While pursuing a double degree from the University at Buffalo and working part-time, I worked in peer tutoring groups for Latin and writing. I have experience proof reading papers and correcting grammar. My four semesters of college Latin have given

During my junior year of undergraduate work, I was contacted by a professor and asked to become an English tutor intern for my fellow students and visiting exchange students from Aichi, Japan. I was told that this hands-on tutoring would also coincide with an upper level English class, a class in which permission of its instructor, the English department and recommendations from other professors were all required. I accepted the offer and began my brief journey as a tutor from January 2008-May 2008 and truly enjoyed the time I spent helping others learn the language and writing skills that go hand-in-hand with the English language. Though I recently graduated and have not formally tutored in a year, I still use the skills I have obtained - writing, communication, grammar, spelling and editing - in daily life. I feel that with my Bachelor of Arts degree in English and Communications, I

I enjoy tutoring and working with children. To me, Children learn easily but also in different ways. I am a patient person, very outgoing and also considerate person.

Been a tutor and mentor for the past 4 years, has enabled me to share my knowledge with kids and also make a difference in their lives. I graduated from D'Youville College with my Bachelors of Science in Biology and a Minor in Chemistry.

I was recognized for my teaching abilities during my undergraduate years, having been selected as a teaching assistant as a freshman for sociology courses. As a graduate student, I spent much of my time as a teaching assistant and later as an instructor at the college level. I spent several years reading and evaluating statewide public school exams in science, math and writing, while helping shape the questions asked by state exam boards for primary and secondary school students. I became fluent in Spanish living and working in Central America and Mexico, as well as through immersion in Spanish speaking communities in the USA. I am a published writer and editor in nonfiction writing. I have also published academic papers. I believe in finding methods appropriate to each student, depending on their level of development and interests. There is no simple way to help students

Everyone has a different style of learning. It is always my goal to find out what style best suits the student. Whether they are vsisual learners, or simply need multiple ways of hearing an explanation, I strive to meet the needs of each individual person. My greatest joy comes from seeing my students succeed. For this reason, I will do everything in my power to ensure that they receive the best education that I can provide. Education has always been a priority in my life. During my four years as an undergraduate student, I created a major that covered a breadth of areas including psychology,biology,chemistry, math,and physics. I also have a passion for English. I have assisted PhD students in research as well as conducted my own research which has honed both my grammatical and analytical skills.

I am a recent graduate of a University in LA. During my tenure at Southern University, I decided to persue a degree in science. I fell in love with microbiology, so I persued a concentration in that field which necessitated me to be a master in all areas pertaining to grammar in the sciences-due to research papers as well as lab reports, homework, and term papers. I have tutored students in English, Organic Chemistry (I),Microbiology (Lec and Lab), and other areas pertaining to the sciences. I am a firm believer in everyone having their own learning style. I had to figure this myself doing assessments of students during the years of tutoring, as well as being a student. I believe I am able to assess the need of the child, figure out their learning style, and apply it to them in a way that will have an effective outcome for the student for the present, as well as the future.

I gained my first permanent employment as a tutor five years ago, in the beginning of my sophomore year, in the Canisius College Tutoring Center and held this position for three years until graduating in 2008. In my senior year I gained employment as a tutor/mentor for several government-funded high school tutor/mentor programs including GEAR UP through Canisius and Upward Bound through D’Youville. Finally, I was able to capitalize on my experience tutoring by landing my current position as educational coordinator for a 21st Century Program at the Father Belle Community Center. As educational coordinator, I tutor, direct other tutors, and arrange for the provision of life skills courses. I am a versatile tutor, with experience in a wide range of subjects. I can tutor nearly any high school subject, including English, history, biology, chemistry, earth science, and algebra. Furthermo

I have tutored students both with and without learning disabilities. In my 15 years as a teacher in elementary and high school, and as a tutor, I have covered math through algebra and geometry,biology, geography/history, chemistry and physics. I am capable of tutoring college level courses in math and science, too. I believe each person is capable of learning, and that a report card can be improved by learning 'how to learn'. I use manipulatives, white boards, games, and music to tap into those areas of the brain that best respond to learning the material. Tutoring time should be a time for children/adults to anticipate with joy, not fear. Bringing out your academic best is my number one goal for you and/or your child. I have been a teacher and tutor for over 15 years, specifically in private schools. The first student I tutored (as an elementary student) has graduated from dental

I have a passion for teaching all ages. I am patient, caring and understanding. My goal is to do whatever I can to get the answers children/adults need. I feel that students learn best if they see/hear the information given in multiple ways. I feel that if the material is presented in a variety of ways it will help students learn the material better as opposed to just memorizing. I graduated a year early from high school which then led me to the local community college.At the community college, I found myself being president of a local club known as Earth Awareness.I then graduated with my Associates Degree in Biology with honors.Cornell University was the next stage in my life where I became part of a local honors group known as Alpha Zeta Fraternity.Although attending Cornell University was a great honor; I felt that it was too large of a school for me(300+ in some courses) which then

My goal in life is to be a successful teacher to many students. I have already began this exciting journey by volunteering in classrooms starting at the age of fourteen; now I am teaching. My teaching philosophy includes all students; all students can learn. It is the teacher's job to find out what teaching strategy will work best with each student. All students can strive, however, some students may learn material in a different method. Students need to be in a positive, conducive learning environment that best suits them so that ative learning will take place. Students need to have experiences throughout their learning career, it is my job as a teacher to provide this for students. Part of my philosophy as a teacher, is that students need to respect the teacher, yet teachers also need to respect their students so that a positive, enriching learning environment can occur.
