I believe a supportive environment is critical for an excellent learning experience. First, I work to set up an environment of mutual respect, a place where the student knows I respect him or her and the student respects me. To accomplish this task, I actively engage with the student by showing an interest in the student's life. Essentially, I get to know the student. I then aim to clarify the subject matter the student finds challenging. If they still find a concept confusing, I approach the topic in an alternate manner. I do not give up on the student or the topic; I believe every student can understand a challenging concept by having a teacher explain it to them in a way the student finds comprehensible.

One of my greatest joys is teaching!!! I prefer to work with high school aged teens, college aged adults and adults of all ages. I excel in one-on-one and small group teaching environments and am a patient, considerate tutor. Communication, interaction, collaboration, participation, and respect are all critical elements in teaching and tutoring. Years of daily dialogue has allowed me to become an accomplished communicator with the ability to engage my listeners, deliver difficult concepts in an understandable manner, and bridge the crucial gap between lecturing and stimulating the active participation of the student. I know how important a tutor can be in helping a student learn challenging material and the difference you can make in that person's life and future is one of the greatest feelings in the world.
I currently have over 500 hours of college level course work complete ... read more

No two students learn best in only one way. So too, I believe in a multitude of teaching/tutoring styles which employ a variety of approaches such as kinesthetic, didactic, verbal, reinforcing, repetition and modeling approaches. Within the first and second sessions I ask the student how they best like to learn and what ways make the most sense to them. Learning with and through working with a tutor is a two way communication process. I pride myself on being very perceptive and am a good listener. Let's talk about YOUR needs.
As a former high school valedictorian I know the value of hard work. Students can succeed with the right attitude and often times a caring tutor who can find creative ways to explain the material as well as the real world relevance of what may at times appear to be dry material. Through my teaching, tutoring and real world business experience I have helped boy ... read more

My teaching style is not typical since I am not a certified teacher. I am creative in my teaching style using a variety of techniques. I understand that each child and person learns differently (Auditory, Visual, Tactile) so I try to discover their style and incorporate as much as possible. I try to teach using real life experiences and examples. I break things down into simple parts before moving on to the next level. I believe that it is important to instill confidence in the student which raises expectations and increases motivation. I am very patient with a good sense of humor.
I obtained my BA in Social Work and have worked in that field since 1993. In 2005 I began a part time job as an Adult Education instructor for Sentinel Career Center where my primary focus was language arts/writing. I was part of the STAR reading program where I became certified to teach adults to read. ... read more
