A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy helping students who need extra help. I have much patience and understanding. I start from the ground up, don't skip any steps and become familiar as I can with students abilities, strengths as well as weaknesses. I enjoy making a difference in students lives. Both my high school and my GED students appreciated my help very much.
Have a BS degree in Economics from Fordham University. Twenty years of experience writing real estate appraisal reports have improved my writing abilities greatly. High School regents final grades were 98 on Algebra. 96 on geometry and 78 on trigonomitry (hardest class in high school). I believe I got a B in calculus both in high school and college.

I am confident in my ability to create such an environment, utilizing a variety of current teaching philosophies and techniques to encourage my students to involve themselves in the learning process. .

I have been a volunteering mentor with my collegiate honor's program for years in various elementary subjects with students with learning disabilities. I also worked in the university's computer lab in the work-study program for 3 years helping my professors and peers with their computer difficulties. I also tutored my fellow students in English, science, math, psychology, voice, religious studies, writing, communication, and many other subjects throughout my lower level, high school, and collegiate careers. I tested out of college algebra, pre-calculus, and level one Spanish; further proving my mathematical and language skills. I have written extensive research papers in many subjects and have a wide range of academic experiences.
I enjoy helping others to better understand a wide range of subjects. Every student has unlimited potential and I believe I can help them to reach ... read more

I enjoy teaching to students. My classes are very interactive. I want them speaking a lot. In addition having them repeat and reinforce their skills throughout the lecture. I am patient with all students no matter what level they are at. I am very outgoing and friendly. I do a lot of motivational speaking in my classes, so I can get the best out of all students.
I have taught and tutored in South Korea for over the last 5 years. I taught mostly English. I developed the students speaking, writing, and reading skilly. I have taught math, science, and social studies too. I have many years of management and training experience.

I worked as an in home private ABA therapist for two separate families, each with a child with autism. I worked individually with both children approximately 8-12 hours per week for over a year. I taught in a traditional ABA classroom with six students on the autism spectrum and all with other severe disabilities. I have also volunteered for many years as a bible school teacher.
I would have to say that my teaching style is flexibility. I believe that it is necessary to gauge your students as a group and individually before deciding on which teaching methods would be most effective. I believe that naturalistic teaching is important. I also believe in a form of discrete trial training. It takes some of the basics from Discrete Trial and adapts them to fit the needs of the students that are struggling with certain subjects. Research has proven that all students learn differently a ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am currently working part time as a ski instructor with children. This has taught me to be patient with the development of my students. It is incredibly important to maintain an atmosphere where learning is fun. I am certified by Oxford seminars to teach english as a second language. During the classes we studied general techniques for teaching english, that can be used for native speakers as well. I am a firm believer that there are all different types of learners, and thus teaching styles should adapt to the individuals needs.
I specialized in poetry studying under one of the top T.S. Eliot scholars. As a literature major we studied a wide range of topics from early english to post colonial literature. This has given me a great appreciation of the english language. Having grown up abroad in Amsterdam and Switzerland has also made me enthusiastic about the barrier between conver ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am warm, engaging and fun--I award stickers and other incentives for learning and achievement goals and I work closely with children and adults AT THEIR LEVEL to bring them to excel in the subjects that they are studying. I sometimes cross-reference different subjects to give a multi-dimensional approach to learning. I make an effort to honor the individuality of the child or adult learning, and aim to make a significant contribution to his or her academic or artistic development.
I've taught both piano and other school subjects as a one-to-one instructor in a sub-contractor fashion, for over 20 years, and I taught General Music in public school K-4, in 2002. As both an undergraduate and Graduate, analyzing and writing about 19th Century literature and poetry, Women's studies,Art and Music history, and comparative literature and music, I have developed analytical, critical and wr ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My years of studying and tutoring have given me the patience and kindness to work with both my peers, mentors, and children. I have a free-flowing personality and I am not easily shaken. I look for challenges in my every day life and welcome new ideas and criticisms so that I can not only improve myself, but those around me. I do not believe that "some people can not learn," but I do believe that with proper, constructive methods of learning, all can learn and will grow to love learning. I wish for this to continue in all people for the rest of their lives.
I currently hold my MA in history. During my studies I have earned an in depth knowledge of research methods, rhetorical writing, and have become well versed in study methods. My writing skills are near flawlessness and I stress this important skill in my every day life. In addition, I am currently learning both Spanish a ... read more

I love the challenge and creativity that comes with teaching. To see kids have "lightbulb" moments is very rewarding and exciting to me. I am energetic, efficient and compassionate. I am firm yet loving and feel strongly that students will rise to the challenge when given the proper support and encouragement. I enjoy an atmosphere where everyone is involved in the discussion and learning process. I have high expectations and can recognize students strengths and weakness. I like to exploit students' strengths and help them work on their weaknesses. I am willing to help each and every students who needs it. I believe I was called to be an excellent teacher and to impact the lives of children in a positive way.
I was an Aide in the resource center at Pollard Middle School in Massachusetts and interned as a floating substitute at Elias Howe School in Bridgeport. I student taug ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I went from the Boston Public Schools to Commonwealth School and then Wellesley College, and would have been lost, early on, without help from tutors. I majored in English and Russian and work with several communities for whom English is not their first language. I am also a freelance writer and editor and I help my children's friends with their college essays. I work as a substitute teacher with all levels and grades and teach everything but Science and Gym.
I am patient and approachable but insist on the value of completing assignments even if the student "hates" them. I am good at explaining how this will be important later, which turns around reluctant learners. I believe in explaining, showing, modelling, and then stepping back while the student tries, explains, and determines where the mistakes come up. I value resiliance, and bask in the joy of competence achieved through ef ... read more

(Re: one-on-one tutoring)--My teaching style is adapted to the learning style, level, and age of an individual student and is attuned to the sensitivities and personalities of those with whom I interact. First I identify the challenges of the subject to be taught and the ability and knowledge the student has already acquired. I choose the best resources to use and the best method of communicating about the subject with the student. If it's English, I'd work with them to practice using tools for reading comprehension (highlighting key passages, summarizing key concepts, predicting plot developments, relating their experiences to those of characters, etc.) and for writing (outlining, structuring material, etc.). In general, I create an enjoyable dynamic learning environment and use the benefits of rapport to accelerate the achievement of goals. I like to engage students' curiosity, i ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am a former UConn graduate (1984) with a BS in Marketing. Many of my electives were in mathematics, enabling me to work as a student tutor on campus. I have also completed coursework in anatomy and physiology. In addition to tutoring college level students I have worked with elementary and middle school children in church youth groups, assisting with bible verse memorization and reading skills,as well as staging music productions. My experience also includes homeschooling my own children and assisting in classrooms.
My teaching style is relaxed, but focused. I believe all children can be natural learners, especially when they find something that interests them. Patience is the key with children. Every child has their own pace and learning style. Some are very visual learners while others need to be able to be more hands-on. It is very rewarding helping someone succeed.

More About This Tutor...

I have always had a strong interest in Education. From my High School teenage years, I tutored Elementary and High School students in the summer that attended my church in my home country Barbados. I went on to pursue my Bachelors degree in Psychology, in which I earned Second Class Honors, so that I could have a deeper understanding of how individuals develop mentally. This advanced understanding of the distinct developmental stages allows me to better adapt my lesson plans to each unique individual that I tutor. While pursuing my masters degree in Industrial Psychology at Iona College, I home tutored 2 very different 5th Grade Elementary School girls from diverse backgrounds. I also worked as the Graduate Assistant of the Education Department at the College and gained invaluable knowledge from co-workers who are experienced teachers, lecturers and Superintendents from all over the ... read more
