More About This Tutor...

I am a recent graduate from Johns Hopkins University where I majored in mathematics with a concentration in chemistry. Over the past eight years I have tutored and taught continuously in many areas of math, chemistry, physics, and SAT. I have helped students succeed on both the high school and college levels, and have given students exposure to the field of medicine by working as a teacher at the National Student Leadership Conference on Medicine.
Through my years of tutoring I have learned there is no single teaching method that works for every student, but every student can be successful if you personalize your teaching method for them. Whether they need visualizations, analogies, straightforwardness, etc, I find what works for my tutees and build on it. My students’ successes make me proud and I strive to give my best to them.

In 1976 I left the blue-collar world and returned to college, strongly motivated to learn. In 1980 I acquired a BA in Geography (3.81 gpa in my major, 3.53 overall), with a minor degree in Environmental Geology (3.6 gpa). During my last three years of undergraduate study I was the departmental tutor in Physical, Cultural and Economic Geography. Awarded a teaching assistantship at the University of Maryland Graduate School (College Park) in 1980, I taught undergraduate courses in Geography for two years. In 1990 I was a substitute teacher (grades 7-9) for the NYC Board of Education. For the last ten years I have successfully worked with students on a variety of undergraduate and graduate-level projects in many subjects, including Political Science, Psychology, and Education. I am confident that with my background I will be able to successfully tutor students in many subjects, including ba ... read more

I truly love to see the expression on a child's face when he or she learns something new! I understand that there are multiple ways to learn things, so I am that person who uses hands on activities, music, games, rhymes, cheers etc. to reinforce learning concepts. I am patient when a child has trouble grasping a concept and will keep trying until I find a way to demonstrate or explain something that “clicks” with him or her. To me,education is a partnership between the student, parent and educator. Please share any information that you think will help me to help your child be more successful in school. I look forward to our working together to ensure that your child is as successful as possible this school year.
I have worked with children for most of my life. For 5 years, I was the owner/operator of a NY State Licensed Family Day Care Home. For more than 15 yrs., I wor ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Everyone has always told me that I was born to be a teacher, that I have an innate gift to decipher what a student needs and to promote success and accomplish goals. I am patient, considerate and flexible. Learning occurs through teachable moments every day, and it is how we respond to these moments that determines our future. Student needs and learning styles vary and educational structure should be adapted to the individual needs of the student. I enjoy all of my students and learn something new from every one. After all, it only takes one idea, one lesson to change a life.
It seems I have always been involved in education, whether through planning/implementing lesson plans, creating assessments or one-on-one work with a student. I have experience in all areas of education with all ranges of students and have learned from each one of them. All lesson plans and standards are ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I was a full time teacher for nine years in Ohio. I taught eighth English for 5 years and had my own sixth grade class for 4. I relate well with my students and my peers. Children seem to like my style of teaching, as I bring myself to their level.
I like to have students play a big role in the learning process. Building self-confidence and self esteem is very important to me. Each student is an individual, and it is important to find out what motivates that student.

A Little Bit About Me...

I possess 10+ years of experience in the field of school psychology. My current dual Florida certification includes the instructor of Foreign Languages (K-12 Spanish) credential. I pursued direct hands-on experience as an instructor of non-traditional (GED for under 18, adult, and bilingual) students and as a college level adjunct professor. In the latter position I was trained as a distance-learning instructor. This experience expanded my “bag of tricks” in the development of ideas using technological applications to assist struggling students and the teachers that serve them.
Education is one of the best tools anyone could have to build a fulfilling life. It is my experience that students that require that extra boost through tutoring succeed when a role model that demonstrate the skills demanded for their grade level is demonstrated step by step. I emphasize on showing stu ... read more

More About This Tutor...

During the completion of my Bachelor's degree in Psychology I had the opportunity to work with the Maricopa College District, as well as the No Child Left Behind Program. While working with the Maricopa College District I assisted students that were enrolled in the ACE Adult Program. These students ranged in ages from 18 to 65 years old. Additionally, I worked with Martin Porres Educational Services and the No Child Left Behind Program. During my years of tutoring I have assisted students in Psychology, Statistics, math courses up to Calculus, basic science classes, reading, English, computer courses, and nursing courses (relating to mathematics).
Not only do I love to teach and help students learn, I also enjoy helping students develop an appreciation for learning in general. The most gratifying experience while teaching is the look on a student's face, after hours of confusion, a ... read more

I have taught in three different states: Massachusetts, Connecticut and Colorado. The levels have been 3rd grade through 12th. Each state and each class added to my comprehension of the variety of needs and learning abilities of each student. Thus, allowing me to use a variety of ways to instruct and have the students not only learn but completely understand what is being taught.
Learning is a lifelong enjoyable journey. I diligently work to make learning fun and interesting. A sense of humor, nurturing, hands-on experiences and my strong knowledge base is used to encourage and support my student(s) into developing his/her (their) positive self esteem and working up to their academic potential.

I am a graduate of both a Master’s (M.Sc. in Natural Resource Management) and Bachelor’s (B.Sc. – Honors - In Surveying and mapping sciences) Programs. As such, I have been exposed to the rigors of writing two (2) thesis submissions, many targeted research projects and numerous technical reports. I have specifically, been responsible for lecturing to students at the certificate, diploma and B.Sc. levels in the subject areas of: land surveying, map reading and map use. Land surveying is basically concerned with the practical application of mathematical principles to mapping. As such, I would be very comfortable offering tutoring in the area s of –Algebra, Geometry, Arithmetic, Trigonometry and Calculus
I have loved and been involved in teaching for the past twenty eight (28) years. I believe in starting with a clear idea of what the student must be able to do at the end of speci ... read more

When I begin tutoring a new student, my first objective is for us to get to know each other. The student will not be able to receive very much from me until he/she is comfortable with me. Once they feel that I care, they open up and the learning really begins! When I really get a feel for the personality and whatever particular challenges are unique for this person in this class, I am able to determine the best way to communicate the subject and improve the skills. I like to think outside the box to find the best way for that student to have that "got it" moment!
Literally all my life I have been asked by students, parents and teachers to help students who were having trouble. I get tremendous fulfillment from watching someone who has been frustrated finally "get it." In addition to teaching music lessons, tutoring all subjects, and homeschooling my own two children, I have worked ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have developed a style all my own. I lead my students by letting them find answers for themselves. I also believe that students will achieve higher test scores with my techniques. I have found that teaching HOW to take tests is as important as subject matter. I bring a great deal of experienc to this program. I taught in quite a few different learning environments. I taught rural children. I taught in the "inner city". I taught privileged and underpriveleged children. I have coached high school baseball as well as Red Cross Water Safety Programs. I also bring with me a broad variety of non-educational experience.
My teaching style is one of discovery. Often I will talk about one thing and students will latch onto something in the discussion and steer the lesson in another direction. What they don't realise is that is exactly what I wanted them to do. Now we ar ... read more

I have recently earned my BA degree from the University of Florida in the field of Health Science. I have future plans to go to graduate school to become a Physicians Assistant, which will take me 2 years to complete once I get accepted. I am in the process of finishing my application now. I have great study habits seeing as I graduated with honors from UF.
I love helping people learn. I like to find a way that helps them remember things, which sometimes mean making a game out of studing. Studying has to be funin order for someone to get anything out of it.

I have a MA in Psychology from Concordia University. My BS in Human Development & Family Studies with a minor in Psychology is from Penn State University. I am currently taking Medical Coding and Billing classes on-line. I have over 15 years experience working with children in all settings (mental health, teaching, tutoring, volunteering etc.).
It truly does take a village to raise a child as the saying goes. I have been able to make many positive differences in many childrens lives by tutoring, volulnteering and working with them. I am able to teach in a variety of ways, which as most people know, everyone learns differently. Some people are visual learners, meaning they learn better through the written word. While others are auditory (listening) or kinesthetic (learn by doing). I believe that I can provide the best education possible by teaching in a variety of ways while ma ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a young college graduate, I am still in the mind set of studying. My main focus is in administration and training for health systems. Out of my many classes and interests in education I excelled at undergraduate seminars which is taking a block of time and teaching a specific subject to my peers. My bachelor's degree has strong focus on Math and English. My first job out of college was as a corporate trainer for a home health agency which gives me adaptability in working with many different people of all levels and ages.
There is not one teaching style that works for everyone. Making the subjects fun and exciting is a great way to get the students engaged. Everyone has different ways of learning and finding that niche will enable that student to be confident when it comes to learning anything. A student's outlook dictates how they relate to a certain subject. Breaking the mindse ... read more
