I believe that education begins with having a positive approach to learning. To that end, I respect the student by creating an environment that is comfortable and fun to learn in. Concepts are brought "to life" using a variety of mediums, such as puppets and games. I am enthusiastic about learning and work well with parents to encourage student success. I believe all students can learn, but each student is different and has his or her own way of learning. My goal is to find better ways of engaging students in the learning process and receive no greater reward than seeing a student's eyes light up because he or she has learned.
I have earned a BA degree in Family and Child Development and an MA degree in Early Childhood Education. In addition, I hold a valid Ohio teaching license for grades P-3 and have taught Pre-K, Kindergarten, and 1st grade. I am currently an Administrator for a ... read more

I am currently pursuing my Master's Degree in special education at Kent State University, and have a Bachelor's degree in Hearing, Speech, and Language Sciences. I have not tutored before, but I have previously worked in various settings that allowed me to work with students in trying to achieve their Individualized Education Plan goals. My experiences have covered many different subject areas and daily functional skills as well. I have a lot of experience working with children with disabilities, which is what I am currently studying and the area in which I am pursuing a Master's degree in at Kent State. As a graduate student I am required to take coursework in all content areas including reading, language arts, math, and science, with a specific focus in reading.

I love teaching and helping others learn something new. I love the smile in a child's eyes when they figure out what they have learned. As a type one diabetic, I constantly figure out new things and apply them to my life. I want to impact those I teach for the better, so they can share their knowledge with the world. I believe knowledge is the greatest gift.
I graduated from Mount Union College in 2006. After that, I became certified in the Berlitz method and also tutored foreigners working in the states. I also taught elementary Spanish at Woodridge. In college, I would help my friends with their studies.

My style of teaching is adaptive for each individual student when possible. Each student has their own way of learning and it is my job to adjust to that. I try to meet the student where they are right now and devise a plan to fit what they want to do and accomplish the goals that they set. I treat each student with respect and expect the same in return. I am flexible and understanding, but I will push the student to achieve their potential.
Being from the area and having worked in education my entire career, I have a good understanding of the needs of today's student. I currently work at a local University where I see firsthand the struggle underprepared students face. I am an experienced educator having taught every grade level from preK through college.

Working with children has always been a passion of mine. Although my BA is in psychology, I also took several courses in Early Childhood Education, including classes such as Reading Development and Elementary Mathematics. I believe that children learn in different ways, and will strive to help your child succeed academically. I am very patient and will work hard to ensure your child fully understands the subject matter.
As a psychology graduate I have a deep desire to help children both academically and socially. Prior to becoming a psychology major I spent two years studying Early Childhood Education. As a result, I am competent not only in the field of psychology, but in education as well. I have tutored elementary aged children in several courses. I have outstanding writing and reading skills. I have excellent communication skills, and know how to talk with children in order to ... read more

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've been able to truly understand having to choose between the daily rat race and the daily demand of academic pursuits. As a musician and guitar teacher, I understand the balance between demonstrating theory and the importance of impromptu emotion. As a teacher, I like to relate to my students in ways that preserve, maintain, and promote integrity, face, intuition, desire to succeed, and encouragement.
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 l ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I firmly believe that every child is capable of learning hard concepts, they just have to be taught in a way that is applicable to them. So I first like to get to know the student and try to figure out their learning style and teach them according to how they learn. This helps me figure out where the root of the problem is so I can fix it. Then I like to use a lot of visual and hands-on lessons because children need that to really grasp concepts and to apply it in different situations. I also like to question them to lead them to come to the answer and concepts themselves in order to increase their curiosity, desire to learn, and self-esteem.
I graduated recently in Elementary education, so I have a broad knowledge in all subject areas. I got in the top 15th percentile on the Praxis content knowledge test. I am well-trained in different teaching techniques as well as Elementary co ... read more

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 more engaging and relevant to the subject at hand.
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 ... read more

I earned a 98% in my College Algebra course this past fall so I am here to lend a hand to those who could use it. My focus in college was Communication with a minor in Philosophy. I also studied international relations for 6 months in Europe, earned a certificate in graphic and web design in San Francisco, and I am currently studying medical imaging here in Cleveland. I also have a great deal of experience as a singer and guitar player, which is where the bulk of my teaching experience comes from. I have taught music to dozens of people of all ages over the past 7 years.
I believe that comparing complex concepts to everyday, personal objects and situations is the most effective way to learn. Therefore, I am big on metaphors. Algebraic concepts and formulas can often be, I have found, analogous to much simpler ideas or images. Once the abstract is related to the mundane, we can brea ... read more

During my undergraduate years, some of the areas in which I excelled included: music theory and history, piano pedagogy, psychology, Spanish and English composition (including APA and MLA styles).

More About This Tutor...

As a great advocate of education, I aim to offer my students with the best learning experience possible. For that reason, while tutoring in college, I started reading and learning about the many teaching styles used in schools. This helped me find my own teaching style that focuses on each student individually. I try to mix several teaching styles in order for the student to understand and feel comfortable with the material. However, based on my own personal experiences, the teaching style that provided the best results to my students was the demonstrator teaching style. I use audio, video, role playing, personal experiences, class discussions, brainstorming, critical thinking, and other direct observations to allow students to use all their senses in their learning experience. I try to plan my lessons and educational activities in a manner that tends to simplify and clearly represent th ... read more
