More About This Tutor...

Logical lecturing periodically within explanations poised by pupils based on material being studied.
I have never formally tutored anyone but I have helped my younger siblings and classmates with homework before and I am confident in my abilities to communicate information in a logical and well ordered manner so that a pupil will be able to understand, comprehend, and apply the information in a testing setting.

My comments on tutoring SAT - Verbal : Anything in the language arts area is my forte.

Taught Grades 3-6 over a 35 year career successfuly with great feedback from students, parents, and administration. Love teaching all subject areas at the elementary school level. Education: BS.ED in English and minor in education; At least 60 hours beyond my Masters in School Administration in various subject areas: Reading, Writing, Math, Animal science.
Prefer to facilitate learning and provide more hands on activities. Try to connect reading with writing as the two subjects are very much intertwined in the skills they take. Great at teaching across the curriculum to help students in subject areas that require reading of nonfiction

A Little Bit About Me...

Students must be challenged, not coddled. Students at all levels need to be pushed to find their limits and then move beyond them. Only then can they achieve real growth. We must use education as a tool to educate the next generation not only for employment but also for citizenship. In so doing, we need to take into account historical precedents and objective reality. Our students need more than simply reading comprehension and basic math skills. One of the chief contributions we can make to our students is teaching critical thinking. Students must be encouraged to think for themselves and not mindlessly parrot stock answers. After reasoned analysis, they must find their own truth.
I have a number of useful skills and abilities that I bring to a classroom. I have a very broad set of educational areas in which I am comfortable. I have a B.S. in Biology, a B.A. in History, a ... read more

I have been teaching for 25 years. I began as a high-school teacher, taught grade school and special education, and then spent 20 years as a university professor of English and philosophy. I started tutoring as a graduate student and have been doing it on and off now for 20 years.
I like working with grade-school students, but I like best a variety of teaching situations. That for me truly represents the challange of teaching. Only a diversity of students can bring learning to itself, reveal the demands of cognition for what they are. As a philosophy PhD this interests me very much.

More About This Tutor...

Learning happens when students are not only engaged by the teacher and the material presented, but also sees the relevance of the subject matter in their own lives. Learning occurs in classrooms where students are comfortable making mistakes. Learning results when expectations are high, the praise forthcoming, and the criticism gentle. I consider teaching a form of parenting. It is my job to provide order, structure, and security. It is also my job to regard each student as an individual, to challenge each student appropriately, to recognize individual strengths and weaknesses and to provide various approaches for learning so that all students can be successful.
As a graduate of Northwestern University with a B.A. in Classics and a parent of an Ivy League graduate, I place a high value on quality education. My experience as an adjunct faculty member of the Pace Program at Nation ... read more

My early teaching and learning style was to do as many problems that were thrown at me in class or the text. I learned quickly that you need to understand the problem in order to solve problems that aren't set up for you. I enjoy teaching and have a lot of patience with my students becuase I believe they all have the potential to meet and exceed their expectations with the proper tutuledge.
I have multiple degrees in computer and electrical engineering from Purdue University. I also have a partial degree in Accelerated Associates in Culinary Arts from Kendall College and a few classes in Computer Science in the Masters program in Computer Science and the University of Illinois Chicago. I have experience in manufacturing engineering, Research and Development, Sales, Management in Computers and several years as a Chef.

A Little Bit About Me...

I started tutoring people because it seemed like a great way to meet different people, but I continued because I like helping people learn and discover new things. Everyone is different and therefore my teaching style various by student but typically the way I relate the information to everyday events or make abstract ideas concrete are the most effective. I work with students in a variety of manners to make sure that auditory, visual, and kinestic learners.
As a high school student I participated in peer tutoring. While in high school I volunteered to serve as a tutor in Algebra, Geometry, Chemistry, Zoology, and Biology. I graduated with 27 AP credits which helped me complete a B.S. at Clarke College in 3 years. At Clarke I found that tutoring my peers helped both the student and me.

A Little Bit About Me...

I began teaching 22 years ago at a middle school and later taught high school when I relocated to the beach. I also tutored at a local community college. The most rewarding aspect of teaching and tutoring is when the lightbulb goes off at the crucial point of understanding in the student's mind. I have a Bachelor of Science in Education and a Masters Degree in Human Resource Management and School Leadership. Furthermore, I have 67 additional education credits pertaining to teaching, tutoring, communication and human resources. I feel it's important to stay abreast of current educational trends, research and developments which ultimately affect the teaching style and learning effectiveness of the individuals involved.
Each student is unique. Therefore, I use a variety of teaching styles, strategies, methods and techniques depending on the individual's needs and abilities. A ... read more
