As a wildlife biologist for 15 years, I spent a good portion of my career giving presentations to a wide variety of audiences and educating people one-on-one about environmental issues. I have both Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees. I recently underwent a program through the Department of Higher Education to become certified to teach 7-12th grade science. I student taught 9th and 10th grade and have been substitute teaching at all grade levels. Because of my education and career, I am knowledgeable in many math subjects, biology, physical science, grammar, reading, and botany. Every child has his/her own learning style. I think it is important to first determine how each child best learns – either visual, auditory, or tactile. I can then tailor my instruction to the needs of each student. In general, I believe that people learn best by ‘doing’. I believe that stu

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 music.

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 to al

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 bands. Though I am teaching math now, I still strive to instill the same passion in my students to achieve. 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

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.

Though my educational background tells of a ‘numbers’ background (economics, MBA), I consider myself a strong communicator and leader, too. I was fortunate to attend a leading high school, which gave me the foundations to excel at Colby College (undergraduate, magna cum laude) and later at Babson College (MBA, cum laude). I have mentored and tutored students in a variety of formats, including two teenagers whom I taught full-time during a 2-year global circumnavigation by sailing yacht, and others whom I have mentored on interviewing skills, time and priority management, and technical skills too. My lifestyle as an entrepreneur gives me great opportunities to give back and indulge my secret desire to teach. Friends and colleagues often tell me that I should have been a teacher instead of an entrepreneur based on my clarity of expression and passion for instructing. I instinctively a

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.

I understand that finding the right tutor can be confusing and time consuming. My specialty is to offer a customized experience to each student. I recently graduated 'Summa Cum Laude' from Eastern CT State University with a BS in Business Administration. My primary experiences has been in with high school and college students tutoring in more difficult subjects such as, Chemistry, Statistics, Physics, Geometry, Calculus, etc. However, I have worked with students of all ages. My experiences have taught me that a cookie-cutter teaching style is not suitable for every individual. My responsibility is to quickly identify the students weaknesses and turn them into their STRENGTH! I am a every interactive teacher. It is my strong belief that anyone can succeed with the proper motivation, reinforcement and tools. My tutoring style emphasizes the student as an active participant in t

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 objectives is important: what do you want to gain from this experience? What do you want to achieve? I feel confident in saying that I can offer students positive results because I understand what will be required of them on the college level. 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

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. 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.

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 material in as many different ways as are ultimately needed to ensure comprehension and success. 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
