Patient, Results-Oriented, and Dedicated!

I use effective practices, strategies, and resources to inspire and enrich each student's learning. Direct instruction, workbooks, visual aids, computers, math manipulative, hands-on activities, mini-labs, student-centered discussions, one-on-one tutoring and small-group instruction are used to honor various learning styles, students' needs and goals, as well as to ensure they are active learners. Students participate in small-group instruction, hands-on activities, mini-labs; may use computers for further enrichment and technology-integration; analyze words and stories; make real-life applications to concepts being presented; and customize their own learning environment through student-centered and teacher-led discussions and enrichment activities while receiving caring and effective support and guidance from me!

Let's get back down to the basics (Latin, History, Science)

I recieved a BA degree from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. I majored in Classical Civilization (with a Latin Concentration) and History. I have 12 years of experience teaching Latin. The courses I have taught include introductory courses, Latin I, Latin II, and Latin III. 3 years of Life Science teaching experience. 4 years of History teaching experience (as a tour guide and history interpreter) 12 years of experience teaching writing as well.
I like to boil things down to the basics. With Latin and Science that means learning as much as one can about the basic elements and then building one step at a time on those basics. In history, it means learning the story, and telling the story.

My comments on tutoring Life Science : Taught this to my children

I follow a Socratic method of teaching. Leading the student into discovery by asking them questions, understanding what the student knows/understands and building on that. I am low key, but demand a good grasp on the subject before moving forward with new information.
I have been home schooling my two children for 13 years. My oldest is graduating this year and attending the college of her choice. My youngest is in 9th grade. Through these years of experience, I have discovered the best ways to motivate, to understand a student and to help a student understand themselves and the way they best learn. I have a broad understanding of many subjects as a result of teaching them myself for the past several years.

Specializing in Out-of-the-Box Thinking for All Learners

I love to incorporate art and sensory experiences into everything I do to really activate the brain. The "Drill and Kill" is very rarely appropriate, so I tailor every approach individually. What works for one student may not work with another. My formal training includes many intervention types and experience with multiple programs and curricula, so I have a large pool from which to draw...then we get creative! My style REALLY aims for those over-arching foundational skills like critical thinking, thought organization, and problem solving. I will also track and provide data to monitor progress and hold myself accountable for effectiveness.
Let's start out by saying I am definitely not your average tutor! Fun is vital to motivation, and I live on the stuff! I have been teaching for over fifteen years in a variety of environments, working in inclusive environments with children ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I always look forward to tutoring new people becuase I not only get to make a difference in their life by helping them master what they're struggling with, but I also get to learn about people and different learning styles. I view tutoring as a way to help others while improving my interpersonal skills. I value all the skills I gain from tutoring because they will be assets when I become a physician. Working with all ages from kindergarten to college has taught me patience and how to conform to different people's needs.
I graduated from Vanderbilt University in May 2010, and I am currently applying to medical school. In high school and college, I tutored in math, science, English, and test prep. Math and Science are my favorite subjects, but I also have much experience with tutoring English and grammar. I have also tutored people preparing for tests such as the ACT, SAT, and Gatewa ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

High personal values get forged and refined in the fire of academic challenge. I value excellence and doing quality work. I have BS degrees in Mathematics and Electrical Engineering, two of the most challenging fields in education. I achieved success by developing personal qualities required to meet the challenge these two technical fields imposed and demanded upon me. The personal success of achieving high goals is the reward of sacrifice and self-discipline. I know exactly what each client needs to have success with Math and Science.
A teacher can only be successful if his student efficiently learns through effective communication. I find the best style of communicating Math to every individual. I am very patient and understanding with a talent to discern a student’s heart and mind. I am very encouraging and possess all the skills needed to take the frustration and anxiet ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Guided by experiences in my life and lessons I’ve learned through teaching, I’ve come to understand that all children learn differently. My goal is to first determine where the students need help, based on their learning style, and then focus my knowledge and experience to help them using proven teaching techniques and my own teaching methods. My philosophy of education is that I believe that teachers should provide an opportunity to facilitate the academic, social, and individual growth of students. We should incorporate cooperative learning, which includes literacy, math and science manipulatives and writing to help children to work cooperatively and explore their various talents.
Teaching is my passion and I believe that by teaching I can instill firm educational values in children and help develop within them a desire to learn and grow, which will lead to academic pride and s ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I’ve graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biology in 2009. My Biology coursework has centered on theory, problem solving and critical thinking. I have taken multiple Biology, Chemistry, Physic, Math and Psychology classes which have enabled me to improve my knowledge and understanding of the subject. I have also taken various computer skills, writing, and test taking classes that can prepare student with confident when entering an entrance or regular exam. I also have a vast knowledge in biological/health science disciplines. As a result of my rewarding, teacher assistant and tutoring during my four academic years in science and math, I am confident that I could make a strong contribution to help students to understand the material.

I have a wide variety of experience in mentoring and teaching. As a graduate with a degree in journalism, I have excellent oral and written communication skills including spelling, grammar, and analytical writing. As a science teacher to a group of English language learners, I mastered the art of differential teaching to reach several different levels of learners.

A Little Bit About Me...

My academic experience has shaped me into a hardworking and ambitious student. As a pre-medical student, I double majored in Psychology and Middle Eastern Studies which has allowed me to establish a diverse background in the sciences and humanities.

More About This Tutor...

I have an undergraduate degree (BS) in Biology and a graduate degree (PhD) in Physiology. I have experience as a Professor of Anatomy in Graduate Physical Therapy curriculum. I have taught Anatomy and Physiology and to students from elementary school to graduate medical studies. I have most of my teaching years teaching Allied Health Students at the community college level.
I believe that much of the difficulty in learning Science is that people try to learn a series of facts rather than a story. It is difficult to do well when a student is dependent on his/her ability to recall from extensive facts where no understanding of the interrelationship is appreciated. I believe scientific conversation regarding seemingly complex subjects can serve to demystify the material. Humor often helps in this. I have worked extensively with students who know the material yet can’t test well fo ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

From second semester freshman year I have tutored mathematics and chemistry. First it was at the campus learning center at Westminster College, then I went on to pursue a graduate degree in chemistry at Penn State University where I found that I like to teach more than I wanted to be a PhD Chemist, I was a teaching assistant for both Physical Chemistry Lab and General Chemistry for non-majors. It was this teaching experience that led me to tutor for the PSU Ag Science department in both chemistry and mathematics. I have also volunteer tutored at State College High School.
I try to put the difficult concepts of mathematics and chemistry into words and experiences that the student can understand. In the words of one of my tutees I teach "Barney-Style". In other words I talk in words they can understand whether I'm tutoring a 4th grader or a college student. It is my goal to mak ... read more
