Using one's strengths is the key to overcoming any weakness.

Hello Students and Parents, I would like to offer my unique skills as a doctoral candidate in clinical psychology who specializes in working with children with developmental disabilities (e.g., autism, down syndrome), learning challenges (e.g., ADD, ADHD, anxiety), and medical diagnoses (e.g., diagnoses affecting sleep, attention, processing speed, school attendance). I have worked with children in their homes, in hospitals, in community clinics, and in schools. I have also worked with many teens and would be happy to tutor those who are older and looking for some extra help. My unique contribution is that, in addition to sharing knowledge and study skills, I am trained to help children regulate difficult emotions like frustration or hopelessness or embarrassment, overcome fears and anxieties, find and maintain motivation, improve self-esteem, and use creative problem solving to maxi ... read more

From my many years of experience I have learned that the most important aspect of teaching style is to stay in contact with each student. Educational psychologists have demonstrated that students of all ages have an inherent need to have a personal yet professional relationship with their instructors, and I have seen this work in action. While teaching in the classroom I made it a point to get to know each of my students. I’ve contacted each of my students in some way on a daily basis in my online courses as well. Many of my students have thanked me for this dynamic student-teacher relationship, and this will be no less the case as I tutor yourself or your child.
While living in San Antonio, Texas, I served my students as an adjunct instructor of American History at St. Mary’s University and San Antonio College. In 2006 I began facilitating courses online for Axia College of Univer ... read more

When I taught sailing to young kids, I used to dress up like a pirate. I have lots of energy. I know I'm doing my job right when kids start laughing. When I taught to teenagers, I kept in mind my own experiences at that age. If I'm helping a student study hard on that big, important test that might have the ability to crush the student's soul - I bust out my acoustic guitar and sing about how It's The End of The World As We Know It (And This Test Means Very Little In The Long Run).
I recently graduated cum laude from the University of Rhode Island with two Bachelors of Science in Marine Geology and Maritime Law. I teach sailing and environmental education in the summers. This means very little however as I aspire, one day, to become a lighthouse keeper. Sadly, few can find such a position these days. I enjoy writing, science, mathematics, literature and most all musi ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a very academically driven student with a background in a wide range of disciplines, extensive academic tutoring experience, and experience working with youth, I am confident in my ability to provide high quality tutoring to students. Although my formal educational background is primarily in Political Science and Philosophy, I have tutored College, High School and Middle School students in subjects such as English, History, Writing, Reading, Government, World Affairs, and some Math and Science. A strength of mine, applicable to any subject, is the ability to help a young person learn, respond to, and go beyond, the expectations of teachers or instructors. In the world of academia, it is certainly a strength to have a solid background in a particular discipline, but it is even more important to help a student develop the right conceptual and analytical tools necessary for him/her to ... read more

As a graduate of an Ivy League University with a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics, I have a strong passion for the analysis and development of mathematical equations. I am an extremely patient person and am eager to share my knowledge with others. I would like to be able to offer students of this day skills and mentoring that were not offered to me when I was developing my own skills.
I believe in ensuring anyone I am teaching understands the concepts behind what they are learning. It is important that the student is able to identify with the material and be able to relate it to relevant information. I think it is important for a student to learn in an environment where they are not afraid to ask questions in order to develop their own skills.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have taken math for 4 years in college. It is a subject that I very much enjoy-so much that all of my sons are also strong in mathematics. My oldest is a national merit scholar finalist, and my youngest son is captain of his high school math team. Math is fun, like a puzzle-once the student sees this fact, they begin having more fun and less fear of the subject.
I am a patient teacher, and I use many different ways of communication. I try to find the style of learning best suited to my pupil. Removing the fear of the subject seems to be the most important part. I go through many many examples, until I feel that the student, and more importantly, the student has a feeling of confidence and mastery.

As a teacher, I am compassionate and patient. I believe in the importance of setting high standards for each unique student and providing the guidance they need to feel safe, confident and comfortable with themselves and each other. Through this type of environment and through building strong relationships between the learner and teacher, students are better able to realize the limitless possibilities that each possess and set them on the path to future education and success.
As a student teacher in a third grade classroom in West Hartford, CT, I had the opportunity to create and implement active, hands-on lesson plans in all subject areas including thematic, cross-curricular units on Forces and Motion, Native Americans, and Poetry as well as assess, evaluate and monitor student progress. In addition to student teaching, I have done volunteer work in a second grade classroom in H ... read more

Friends and colleagues often tell me that I should have been a teacher instead of an entrepreneur based on my clarity of expression and passion for instructing. I instinctively augment my spoken word with drawings, gestures or other “reference systems” to help learners grasp the necessary background and repeat processes on their own. I prefer incremental check-ins to make sure students understand intermediate steps and apply theoretical concepts to real life situations whenever possible. Most of all, I have boundless enthusiasm for these topics which further engages my students in the process of learning.
Though my educational background tells of a ‘numbers’ background (economics, MBA), I consider myself a strong communicator and leader, too. I was fortunate to attend a leading high school, which gave me the foundations to excel at Colby College (undergraduate, magna cum laude) ... read more

I worked as a resident assistant while I was in college and tutored several students in math. I am especially competent in the subject as I have received a minor mathematics. I've also have had the experience of providing to some of my colleges while I studied to become and engineer.
My teaching style is rooted in several things. Firstly, I strongly believe in breaking down concepts and ideas such that they are easily digestible. This not only makes things easier to comprehend but also can give the student a different perspective on a topic and lead them to understanding. Secondly, I feel that a positive attitude helps with no matter what you do, especially when teaching. A great attitude can rub off on at pupil and help them build confidence, something that is key in becoming successful in anything, let alone academics. Finally, I believe that the mind is much like muscle a ... read more

As a wildlife biologist for 15 years, I spent a good portion of my career giving presentations to a wide variety of audiences and educating people one-on-one about environmental issues. I have both Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees. I recently underwent a program through the Department of Higher Education to become certified to teach 7-12th grade science. I student taught 9th and 10th grade and have been substitute teaching at all grade levels. Because of my education and career, I am knowledgeable in many math subjects, biology, physical science, grammar, reading, and botany.
Every child has his/her own learning style. I think it is important to first determine how each child best learns – either visual, auditory, or tactile. I can then tailor my instruction to the needs of each student. In general, I believe that people learn best by ‘doing’. I believe th ... read more

As a student of both criminal justice and political science, I have acquired a depth and breadth of knowledge in subjects such as psychology, sociology, history, government, law, and civics. Apart from the knowledge gathered as a result of schooling, I have been coaching for over five years at a competitive level and have strong recommendations from administrators and fellow coaches. Instructing has always been a skill that comes naturally, and tutoring is something that I have a measure of experience in as I had tutored a few students who otherwise would have been ineligible. My skill in writing is extensive, my grammar and spelling are concise and correct, and my knowledge of research methods is complete. With your institution I hope to extend these skills and sets of knowledge towards the education of pupils in the Rhode Island area.
Skill in school is often about finding a ... read more

With my degree in communications I am very confident in my ability to explain clearly, ideas and lessons. My career has been in sales and design of educational interiors. This role of 20 years has drawn from and strengthened my writing and oral skills. I have four kids ages 8mo, 5, 7, 14. We home school our 14 year old. I am also very involved in our 7 year old's schoolwork and homework.
I consider myself a 'people-person'. I coached youth sports for 10 years and enjoy working with kids. I am a relaxed, creative and centered teacher. Kids want to learn; in sports, academics and in life in general. They also want to have fun and be excited about it. I believe I make this possible. Our 5 year old is autistic and cognitively delayed. We have been successful at making learning fun, even for her.

A Little Bit About Me...

My work experience in industry and my intensive graduate academic training well positioned me for college level teaching. I taught a variety of management and finance courses including Introduction to Management, International Finance, International Management, Strategic Planning, Procurement, Accounting, and Systems Development as a full-time Assistant Professor at Merrimack College until I started a family and then taught part-time for many years. After moving to Rhode Island, I taught at both Providence College and Bryant University as an adjunct lecturer. Currently, I am an adjunct lecturer teaching Accounting and Management at Johnson and Wales University. In addition, I tutor SAT Prep for the children of neighbors and friends.
Teaching is my vocation and as a highly trained analyst, I take great joy in shaping strategy and understanding how all the elements of business fit ... read more
