I believe in taking a casual approach in tutoring. From previous experience, I have found that many times students understand the material but tend to get flustered in a classroom environment. I provide guidance when needed, but sometimes students just need someone there to talk it out with them. If this is the case I like to ask questions until they find the answers themselves. This method not only teaches them the material, but also builds confidence because they realize they can figure out much of it themselves.
I worked for Kankakee Community College for one year as a Math and Spanish tutor in 2006 and 2007. During this year, I honed the mathematics I learned through high school as well as the four years of Spanish I had taken to that point. After a year, my classes conflicted with my tutoring schedule but I still wanted to help fellow students so I started independently tutori ... read more

When working with students, I believe that the primary responsibility of learning falls on the student. My role is to help the student make sense of complicated material. It is also to encourage them and build their confidence in what they do know. It is to help them identify where they are having problems and help find solutions to those problems.
My teaching experience comes mostly as a teaching assistant during college. Most of this work was in the laboratory portion of general biology classes, with occasional hours of lecture. My duties included preparing materials and answering student questions. Later I was in charge of a laboratory section, which meant that I prepared test materials and was the sole instructor in the class. Then, I was a laboratory instructor in anatomy at a veterinary college, assisting with the instruction of veterinary students. While in practice, ... read more

Based on my past teaching experiences, I have learned that in order to motivate students to learn, it’s imperative to make connections between the curriculum and their prior experiences and interests. I believe that it is unrealistic to expect students to learn at the same rate and have identical learning styles, so teachers must differentiate their instruction to account for all types of learning abilities, levels, interests, and talents. For instance, teachers should be able and willing to plan lessons and/or assessments that allow students to utilize their own individual and unique intelligences, such as perhaps music or art.
I graduated from Illinois State University in 2005 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology, and a friend recommended me for an assistant job within a special education cooperative. I accepted the position and continued doing this for five years. The ti ... read more

As an active member of my community, in the form of pageantry, volunteering, and leadership, I have always enjoyed instructing others. Currently, I love my job at Midwest Generation as an Instructional Designer of Training. I get to train Engineers and Office Managers on subjects I knew little about, and have grown in responsibility and development. I love kids, since my summer camp instruction job I held all throughout High School as well as an active instructor at my church. I just graduated from Illinois State University about a year ago, and am recently educated and knowledgeable in all subjects, especially English, Social Studies, and Math. I also have five years of French studies.

In May 2010, I graduated from Bradley University earning two bachelor degrees, BS in Mathematics and BS in Economics, and I graduated in the top ten percent of my class, earning Summa Cum Laude. While in college, I had the opportunity to partake in our tutoring program that our university runs. Starting as a sophomore, I had the privilege to tutor students in college algebra, calculus, statistics, high school math, and economics. I was also asked to conduct walk-in math tutoring for athletes and non-athletes. On average, I worked with students for 10 hrs/wk. In 2007-2008, I received the Tutor of the Year Award from our Center of Learning Assistance. This award was given to the tutor that received the best evaluations from their tutees.
From my tutoring experience in college, I have learned that everyone has a different learning style. In order to be an excellent tutor, one needs to ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I was employed with Orion's Mind LLC as a tutor for the SES prep classes. I taught six grade pupils. I used a pod system to instruct the students on the required subject matter. I tutored in math, science and reading. I completed the Orion's Mind internal training sessions for instructor and lead instructor. I completed my background test and required pre-employment criteria.
I enjoyed seeing the children learn and show pride in their accomplishments. I loved helping these children grow and improve their test scores. Many of children showed marked improvement in their work. I found different strategies of teaching worked best with different children. I tried to teach to each child in a way that was best for them. Many children liked board, some learning through art, many liked to read out loud, some preferred me reading along with them. I used contests and games to make t ... read more

My teaching style is Socratic. I find out where the student's understanding lies, and then I lead them through the process of discovery. This is an interactive process. I do not believe that a student will stay involved if they are not actively engaged. Math is somewhat different. After breaking down the method of problem-solving used in the student's textbook, I would guide them step-by-step through the problem-solving process. It is essential to acknowledge the student's effort through praise and encouragement. It is very important to provide the parents with feedback regarding their child's progress.
I am a recent college graduate. I was award "Top Student" Honors in Genetics for 2007-2008, and "Outstanding Student Honors" for 2008-2009. My overall GPA was 3.8/4.0. I am interested in how others learn, and I took several psychology courses including Educational Psycholo ... read more

At Covenant College, the education department stressed an education than viewed the learners and unique individuals, not objects to be filled with information. I have recently received a BA degree in Mathematics with a minor in Secondary Education (6th - 12th). Ever since I was in high school, I have had a passion that has allowed me to excel in the field of Mathematics. For the last two years I have tutored with the college ranging from general, college Algebra to advanced calculus and differential equations. I have also completed 14 weeks of student-teaching, with 7 weeks teaching 6th grade math, and 7 weeks teaching Algebra II and Statistics.
What I learned most about my teaching style from my student-teaching experience is that I love connecting with my students. Each student is unique, and their learning styles vary. The more time I spend with students (in the classroom ... read more

I first question the students in what they already know to see the areas that need less instruction. Then I ask them problems from their school texts and see how they do. This will give me some knowledge of where the student is failing and the area that needs more support. I then ask them at the session's end if they learned something and how that makes them feel. This is most important because if the student does not feel that they are learning and what the knowledge can be used for, they will loose interest and not pay attention in class. This is why many fail technical courses because unlike other subjects, math and science builds upon itself so if you do not learn the basics first, the next topics will be harder to grasp.
