Over a decade of teaching and tutoring experience.

Having over a decade of teaching and tutoring experience, I have worked in both the public and private sector. I have taught science and math for grades 8 - 12 and have tutored students ages 10 and up. In addition, I ran the library late night / homework help center program at a local high school. In my last position, I specialized in working with students having learning and or emotional difficulties including anxiety, depressions, ADHD, and autism.

My teaching style is unique to each student's indivdual needs. I take time to recognize my students learning style and provide the need materials or teaching style based their needs. I prefer tutoring to working in a classroom because I can give each student the specialized one-on-one time they need to help not only keep them on track with their school's requirements, but also introduce them to better study habits that could help them excel in the classroom when they do return to school.
During my years attending UMass Dartmouth, I recieved my Bachelor's Degree in Sociology with a minor in Business Administration. But I also gained alot of experience working with children. I tutored elementary age students in the star program and college students at my campus job in the Unity House. I also was the coordinator for the New Bedford Speech Academy. This program taught students fro ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have been a high school teacher of Latin and ancient Greek, for three school years, and I spent an additional school year as a high school librarian and study skills course teacher. I also have a year of college Latin instruction experience, and a year as a TA for an ancient history professor. Over the years, I have had at least three permanent clients as a tutor, working with ancient Greek, Latin, and German, and I have done other ad hoc tutoring and professional translation work.
I teach to a mastery learning approach appropriate for language instruction. I present the material first in accordance with the text presentation, and then drill and quiz to ascertain the level of comprehension over the next several days. I ask all students to answer sample questions, and I am looking to see who does not understand what, and why. When deficiencies are discovered, I represent mate ... read more

As a progressive educator, I believe in attainment of the standard benchmarks by individualized methods, utilitizng a spectrum of teaching modalities. My personal affect is cheerful and professional, although I believe that learning should be fun, and with me, it is.
Prior to my second career in the field of service to at-risk senior citizens, I taught English for four years at Westport High School. Following the reduction in force made necessary by budgetary constraints, I taught for ten years at the Crystal Springs School in Assonet, MA as a Special Needs teacher. While rewarding, I missed the challenge of more literary pursuits and began teaching evening classes at a local communuity-based organization. My tutoring experience had its inception in that setting.

A Little Bit About Me...

With normal class size groups... the goal is to provide a lesson with real educational content but to deliver it in a totally entertaining format... usually organizing the students into groups to a) provide support for the challenged and b) excitement for the total class as each group competes against the others. one-on-one teaching requires that the objective(s) be well established and then carefully focus on the individual student's best learning method, be it: verbal, written, reading, hands-on, or all of the above. In general a good teacher will be well planned and offers a delivery which teaches in concentrated bursts, with a brief break every 20 minutes.

A Little Bit About Me...

Essentially my teaching style is goal oriented. I motivate students to build skills that are not only applicable short-term, but well into the future as well. These concepts are reinforced by applying skills to realistic situations and problem solving. In this way, my students will be able to leverage skills that they have acquired in myriad areas of interest to ensure their success.
While holding certification in three varied subjects, I feel that my strengths lie in teaching transferability of acquired skills. Having a bachelor degree in an educational field, an MBA, and 8 years of various "real world" experience that includes both retail and project management gives me an advantage when teaching. While in college and afterwards, I built a studio of music students that placed in the top two seats in Florida All-State bands, various regional student orchestras, and All-County ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a college and high school football coach, I learned first-hand how to motivate and teach people the correct techniques for playing and helped them prepare for games. I learned to formulate productive professional relationships that were the foundation for success for the players themselves. As a business management major, I honed my writing and presentation skills, as well as math skills in the preparation of financial data. Having coached football for 6 years, I developed crucial teaching skills and effective ways of connecting with students/players. I was also involved in tutoring as I coached. I have tutored history, English, math, SATs, and economics/personal finance.
I am a firm believer in complete individualized, unique attention. It is critical to identify what motivates students and what techniques work best for them, and then work to enhance those skills and apply them ... read more

As a PhD student in English at Brown University, I have been both a committed scholar and dedicated instructor. My teaching experience includes composition courses at Brown, literature classes, summer teaching for high school students (with an emphasis on the AP and SAT exams) and three years of working at Brown's Writing Center. I would be a good fit for any middle or high school students looking to improve their writing and preparing for college-level work; I can also provide strategies for improving scores on college entrance exams.
Writing is a difficult skill and practice. I do not believe that anyone is born a great writer; it is something that is taught. At the same time, not everyone aspires to be a "great writer." Many students simply want to achieve a good mark on their college papers in order to go on and become doctors or engineers, etc. This is why a discussion of obje ... read more

I tutored English composition in the writing lab as work-study for St. Petersburg Junior College to assist financial aid for my Associates degree. I also tutored disabled students at the University of South Florida in writing skills. I held a composition writing component to the Teenage Pregnancy Prevention Program at the Training School Boys. I taught ESL for the Cape Verdean Community Development Center in Pawtucket. I also taught GED classes at the Woodlawn Community Center in Pawtucket.
I have recently learned to incorporate meaning-centered philosophy (Viktor Frankl) to my teaching with a Portfolio methodology. I use these methods with a dynamic demeanor and with positive re-inforcement remarks on their papers.I learned Portfolio method at the Junior College and have significant results with it.

I started private tutoring in 1980. I also was a home tutor for the Milton Public Schools. From 1985-1991 I was an instructional aide in a special needs class. From September 1991 to the present I have been a math instructional aide for learning disabled students at Milton High School. I attend classes with them and I work with students in academic support classes.
I reteach new material by working with students on their homework. I also write notes for them so that they better understand the material. I enjoy working with students and leading them to success. I am very patient and caring.

A Little Bit About Me...

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

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe in being a coach to the student rather than traditional teaching. While I will go over any new concepts in a teaching format, I prefer letting the students figure out solving any related problem by guiding and making suggestions, as necessary, to lead them through coming up with a solution. I will sometimes let students make mistakes so that they can later understand the mistake and as a result more likely to learn the material in question more thoroughly.
Transitioning from an exemplary career in Engineering and Technical Project Management to Education – Planning on teaching high school Math and Science. I have been involved in Education during my engineering career and been very interested in working on innovative teaching methods to teach Math & Science by making it more interactive and interesting from a very early age through high school. • For the last 8+ years ... read more
