My teaching style is patient, relaxed, and supportive. I tend to tailor my methods to the needs and personality of the student. I worked for two years at the Cleveland State University Writing Center where I tutored writing and reading comprehension to undergraduate and graduate students of many academic backgrounds. I tutored students one-on-one and also taught writing workshops to groups of 3-6 students. In February of 2013, I began tutoring GED prep at Seeds of Literacy, an adult education organization in Cleveland. I am comfortable tutoring most topics covered on the test. If there is a topic I am unsure about, I will let you know up front. I am also certified to be a foster parent and subsequently possess well-rounded knowledge concerning the learning needs of children and young adults of varying abilities and learning styles.

Teaching, or the best teachers, are required to have a certain undertanding that not just anyone has. I think teaching is a decision that demands patience, excitement, encouragement, care, and the love of making the best students possible. Constructivist approaches to learning and inquiry based teaching, appreciating multiple intelligences, and methods of learning, are all part of my approach to teaching. Students have interests that vary and their interests may very well round out their desire to learn. I strive to make sure to it that my students take away something to learn every time that I see them. As a driven student & business owner, I've had ownership stakes in different businesses. Educationally, I have had a natural love for mathematics (BS) & life sciences (short of minors in chemistry, physics, and biology). As my involvement in business increased while still in school,

I consider myself a very energetic, competent tutor who considers teaching an art. I enjoy working with students to help them achieve their full potential. In many situations, the main reason that students struggle in learning and grasping certain academic subjects is due to the fact that students suffer a major disconnect with the course textbook on the subject. I consider it my job to bridge the gap between what the text is trying to communicate and what the student is retaining from the text. In working to close this gap, I often create my own learning aids that a student can understand. I delight in seeing students become excited about a subject matter as their initial fear gives way to a whole new understanding of the subject. I have tutoring experience in mathematics at the secondary and high school levels. One example of tutoring at the secondary level was when I tutored an

As a lifelong learner, I took on the challenge to complete my Bachelors and Masters degree after working as a professional musician for 15 years. My earlier undergraduate work combined music with a broadcast journalism minor. I have used those skills to write, as well as produce music , videos and edit for television. As a classroom music teacher and administrator, I used computer technology and the arts to teach reading, writing and math. During the past seven years, I have been a community mentor who tutored school age students in English, the arts as well as adults with GED prep. My style is simple and direct. My experience suggests that all students can learn if the teacher can find some common interest point to get the ball rolling. My students are encouraged to be creative in their problem solving. I try to utilize as many age appropriate real life examples to make the learning mor

I have been privileged to service students from varying socio-economic backgrounds. The diversity of encounters have included urban and suburban students in diverse settings. Each student I have assisted has seen tremendous progress and improvement. This comes from having a positive and humble attitude that I display and possess to dignify the student and create and atmosphere conducive to reception of teaching. As an honor program student in gifted and talented programs from elementary school through college I ultimately earned a BS degree in Applied Mathematics. My formal tutoring of students began in high school by participating in programs designed to help academically challenged pupils. I have had experience tutoring with age levels ranging from elementary school through college. Experience includes private and classroom instruction. The group sizes serviced have been from one on

As a graduate of Shortwood and Cleveland State I have worked in different aspects of Education. I believe in excellence & have always encouraged my students to achieve same. My experiences include elementary, high school & college sstudents. I have worked as a Math teacher & tutor with students thru the undergraduate level. Each person learns differently. Once I get to know the student, I adjust to their learning needs because I do believe that each person can learn. Yes it may take some longer but it can be achieved. My goal is to get the student to believe in what I am sharing and usually I do make a difference in their lives.I am available to the student based on needs, I am flexible, patient and very encouraging. I believe that boosting self confidence and offering alternate methods will increase or promote unerstanding and eventually learning.

Me teaching style is similar to my leadership style, democratic. I like to have students explain what they are thinking when approaching a problem. This way, it is possible to determine where the breakdown may be. Examples, definitions, and sometimes taking a step back can make a significant difference when attempting to move forward. A strong base is vital. My passion is sharing my knowledge with others. I studied at Kent State in Kent, Ohio. While at Kent I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Exercise Science, and a minor in English with extensive course work in business. Following undergraduate study, I ventured on to complete a Master of Arts in Physical Education. My concentration was Therapeutic Recreation with a focus in gerontology. I taught a class during my graduate assistanceship and acted as a teaching assistant to three professors.

I have experience working with learners of all ages. My earliest classroom experiences while studying at Kent State were with Kindergarten and 1st Grade classes, and I have substituted in classrooms all the way up through high school. I have worked with adults in a GED prep and ESL environment, and my certification/area of expertise is with adolescent and young adult learners. I always seek to individualize my instruction. No two learners are alike, and this often gets lost in a busy crowded classroom. I believe that the ability to tailor instruction to a student's individual needs is essential for academic success.
