MOTIVATION is the KEY to SUCCESS....

I am an educator who has taught for over 15 years in the public, private and college environments. My passion for education esteem over many years helping others to achieve the goals they have for themselves. I am patient, dedicated and a hard worker when it comes to education! My passion goes beyond just helping someone earn their degree or GED, but helping them to believe in themselves and being strong leaders. Anything is possible but you must believe in yourself if it is to become reality.
I can teach in one-on-one or in a group.

My comments on tutoring Testing Skills : When helping students with test taking, I incorporate all testing skills...preparation, test taking, and how to study. Don't let test anxiety pull your grades down. Show your instructors that you know the material. Let me show you how to do well on a test without pulling your hair out!

I have taught for many decades and use a variety of teaching styles since all students learn differently. I am more of a 'traditional' style teacher, realizing that the basics are vital. I am a visual learner myself, but realize that my students may not. I always teach so that all students learn..using visual,hands on, and auditory presentation of material. I am extremely thorough and endeavor to be sure my students have mastered a concept before moving on to more complex topics. I ALWAYS make what I am teaching relevant to the students...showing them how they will use what we are learning in a real life situation. This not only makes it more interesting, but the students enjoy seeing real life situations in which they can use some of the more obscure topics such as fractions, etc. I make learning fun and exciting! Getting the students involved and active is a huge part of lea ... read more

CPA- available for most of accounting and math courses

Instead of telling answers right away, I encourage students to think and help them think in the right direction. I also teach students strategies on how to study effectively.
Worked in a public accounting firm (Big4). I have been tutoring financial and managerial accounting at school for two years as a teaching assistant. My expertise is in accounting including EXCEL. I also have very strong mathematical skills. The strategies that I give to students in preparing for an exam seem to bring good results.

Statement of Teaching Philosophy As a student, I have observed that the best teachers were those who cared the most about teaching. This passion is one of the single most important components of effective teaching as it leads to thorough preparation, continuous evolution of teaching skills, and the pleasure of watching students learn. The amount of time that a teacher puts into preparation directly translates to how the students learn. However, a teacher must be able to recognize how students learn best at the group and individual level, and let their lesson plans metamorphose as they interact with their students. The ultimate goal for the teacher is to communicate new information to students, not just memorizing facts, but also to learn how to think. This process can be made more efficient when both the teacher and the students enjoy what they are covering. Combined, these aspects all ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Over the past 12 years, I have worked in both the private and public sectors of the education community. I have taught grades 7-12 in all areas of science. I have also been the director of a learning center, where I started as a tutor. The years of experience have taught me a great deal about children of all ages and abilities. With each new year, I learn something new about myself and my style.
Because science is a "hands-on" subject, I feel it is extremely important to use demonstrations, examples that are relevant to every-day life, experiments and anything else that will help students understand the world around them. I have been told that I have an "out-of-the-box" approach to learning, but have found it to be successful with the majority of students. Classroom discussions are utilized more often then lectures, because when a student plays an active role in their educati ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have worked with students of varied ethnic, social, and economic backgrounds. I lean more towards the Progressive style of teaching in that I teach my students the skills and strategies that will help them become successful in society. I am also aware that my students learn differently, so I differentiate my instructions towards their individual needs.
I have teaching experience on all grade levels in urban school districts. I am currently a special education teacher in the Saint Louis Public School District, and I have enjoyed the challenge of working with educationally handicapped students and seeing many of them being mainstreamed into the general education population. I have had the opportunity to incorporate a learning center environment based on student needs, and utilized activity centers for individualized and small group instruction. These efforts helped to improve ... read more

My philosophical foundation of teaching reflects on my own learning experiences during my undergraduate and graduate coursework. During much of those higher learning opportunities, my professors utilized a very respectful perspective towards all students, and this background of having role models has instilled in me the importance of meeting the learner at their current level of needing assistance in order to find academic success. Therefore, my philosophy is grounded in the principle that an instructor's job is not only to teach but also to guide, to provide a type of role modeling that implements kindness, compassion, and respect towards all learners.
As an ambitious doctoral candidate and highly motivated life-long learner, I am currently focused on academia and all that it entails. For example, I have earned a bachelor degree in psychology and a certificate in trauma studies. I ... read more

I fit my teaching style to the student's learning style. I try to follow the model of my physics advisor, who has an excellent ability to figure out how a student learns best, then adapt his teaching and explanations accordingly. Students are often closer to understanding than they realize, and a different presentation can make a huge difference. I work to improve weak areas and capitalize on strengths for each student. I keep things relaxed, but focused; and I make sure to work through the material with my students, moving on when they are ready. As we are working, I also help them with note-taking and study skills.
I have just graduated from the University of Tulsa with B.S. in Physics and a B.A. in Music. This dual-degree program has given me a strong background in math and the sciences as well as liberal arts and especially writing, which was required in both fields. ... read more

I am a fourth grade teacher and previously a second grade teacher of ten years. I have two young children. Before I became a teacher I also went to school and got a bachelors degree in Nutrition. In addition to teaching I have also tutored students at my school for years. I recently received my Masters online and I am very interested and excited to begin working as a tutor again. It is a very rewarding position and so much more relaxing for the students. I am enthusiastic and love children. I have a very caring and flexible personality but one that loves a challenge.
My teaching style changes with the students. In my classroom I am open and honest with my students and always ask them for their input before we learn a new unit. I try to incorporate researched based skills with hands on learning. I have a technology degree so I also make use of the computer when I teach and I have fo ... read more

As a senior civil engineering student at Washington University, I have received an outstanding education, especially in math and science. I will graduate in May with a B.S. in Civil Engineering. In the fall, I will pursue a master's degree in civil engineering. Even though my fortes are in math and science, I believe that I have more than sufficient written and communication skills that would be valuable in tutoring. In high school, I tutored advanced algebra for a year, and I also taught Spanish to elementary school students. I also have tutoring experience working with high school age African immigrants. I tutored them in English and math. I also helped them prepare for the GED if they were not enrolled in high school classes.

A Little Bit About Me...

My first teaching experience was as a high school senior where I was given the opportunity to teach a small group of 5th graders as part of the Missouri A+ program. We began with division, quickly moving into linear and nonlinear algebra, before touching on the fundamentals of complex numbers, graph theory and trigonometry, before concluding with a derivation of the quadratic formula and its applications. I spent three semesters as the academic chair for my fraternity enforcing study hours for fraternity brothers with lower GPA’s; tutoring students in algebra, calculus, physics, and computer science, among other fields. I have also had five years of experience in Latin up to the college level with one year of Japanese.
I believe that every student can meet his or her potential provided that the subject matter is presented in a way that makes sense to them and that any material c ... read more

I believe the biggest key to learning is finding a way for students to relate to the information. Getting to know the student and relating thier interests to the material at hand is key to making a connection. I also believe it is critical to remain positive and supportive with students. At some point every student becomes frustrated by material that is challenging to them. By being able to keep students in a positive state of mind and by keeping the material fresh and fun, students will be more willing and able to continue the learning process.
While my area of expertise is physical education, I have gained great experience in other areas of education while searving as an in house substitute for Highland Elementary. Serving as an in house substitute provided me with experience working with large groups, as well as working with students on an individual basis. This experience also ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Most of my teaching experience has come through the various assistantships I had at Wheaton College. These involved a wide range of tasks, from tutoring to leading discussions to conducting extensive research. I have been able to sharpen the skills I developed as an undergraduate through my studies and teaching opportunities at Notre Dame. Not only that, I have witnessed the art of pedagogy reach a level of excellence I had never thought possible. These first-rate professors combine raw intellectual power with gentleness, jocularity and humility, and while I am on leave this year from the program, I would be proud to help students in even a fraction of the way these individuals have helped me.
Excellence in teaching, I believe, depends less on method and more on the character of the teacher. Since a student is a human being before he or she assumes the role of the learner, it is in ... read more
