More About This Tutor...

I begin a lesson by asking a student what he or she knows about the topic. If they have any familiarity with the topic I ask about it and confirm or correct their preconceptions. If the subject lends itself to a real-world example or demonstration, I would offer this for thought. Finally I teach the core concept, connecting it to other concepts already understood by the student. There is usually more than one way to teach a concept. I take into account the learning style of the student. Written or diagrammatic methods might be more effective than verbal explanations. Pnemonics can be useful, but only if the underlying concepts are first taught.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. Having spent a lifetime in the business world, I have a more practical, down to earth, hands on approach to learning. Learning by doing is a Boy Scout approach to learning. As a Boy Scout Leader for many years, I recognized this teaching method, because this is how I learn. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. A few good educators can make a world of difference in a child's education.

I emphasize meaning in my instructional style. Rather than, say, inculcate a formula for comma us, I try to convey how comma use provides meaningful structure to an idea, i.e. the sentence. In the larger sphere of things, I believe in showing a student how a piece of literature--which may well include his or her own writing--is meaningful to himself. When this is accomplished, I have found that the "meaning" of the work provides the necessary impetus to motivate the student. As academic success is so inextricably linked with qualities such as interest and pertinacity, I emphasize the root cause: meaning.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a teacher, I consider it my duty as not only to disseminate knowledge but also to inspire the students I teach and in turn engender their interest in the subject being taught. I believe that the ideal setting for successful learning to occur is in a comfortable atmosphere in which students feel they are able to contribute in a valid way. In other words by creating an inclusive learning environment, I encourage students to engage with the topic at hand, with me, and with each other in the belief that good teaching depends upon intellectual exchange.
Having received an MA in French and Italian language and literature and recently submitting a PhD which focussed on Basque and Catalan nationalism, I was able to hone my language skills, and put them to use during many hours of fieldwork I conducted in France and Spain.

A Little Bit About Me...

I think that kids light up life and make it interesting. That's why I love working with them. I love the intellectual stimulation of the older age groups and the academic challenge they present. However, I love working with the younger kids as well, learning their fresh take on life and watching them learn HOW to learn is like watching life happen before your eyes. I think the most important concept for me, as a tutor, to remember, is to allow the student to arrive at the answer themselves. To get them to think, and by thus doing so, empower them to sharpen their skills and learn independently.

I have a high degree of patience and respect for students that have been intrusted to me to further their education.

I am a recent graduate of the University of Nevada, Reno. I earned my BS in Finance through the College of Business Administration which enabled me to gain experience in different subjects such as math, economics, accounting, information systems, and marketing. I also used to tutor other, younger students when I was in high school.
I am a very understanding and considerate person and my teaching style reflects that. I have been counseling a week-long church camp in southern California for the past 5 years now and I absolutely love doing it. The ages are 9-12 and I look forward to it every year. I have also worked with older children when I worked at the Boy's and Girl's Club. I definitely believe a successful tutor can really change the life of a young adult by stressing the importance of education. Sometimes all it takes is hearing it from a different person in a different perspec ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I graduated from UNR with a BS in Biology. I have gained experience in both classroom and on-the-field settings. During my undergrad study at UNR I tutored General Biology, General Chemistry and some basic math for about 2.5 years. Since my graduation, 5/2007, I have successfully worked and applied my skills in the corporate/industry world.
During my time spent as a tutor/teacher I learned that I enjoy helping others acheive academic success. Tutoring subjects can sometimes be challenging because each tutoring session may vary. So, I have learned that, in order to be a good tutor and to have a productive tutoring session, preperation and promptness is always crucial. I understand that learning styles and techniques varies from individual to individual. Thus, having an open-mind is always important in order to accomadate for these variations. I think I am a great tutor becau ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Currently, I am a senior at UNR nearing the completion of a nutrition-dietetics major and psychology minor. From a young age, I was driven to exceed academically, which have positively influenced my success in the classroom. Upon completing a rigorous high school schedule(Scholar's Program:detailed list of required AP/honors classes and greater than a 3.5 GPA), I was well prepared for college. I began tutoring in the 6th grade, focusing primarily on math related concepts. Throughout the years, I have continued to instruct various other grade levels in multiple subjects. Personally, I believe my two strongest subjects are math and writing.
I thoroughly enjoy teaching, especially the satisfaction of watching a student that was previously struggling start to succeed as a result of your time and instruction. I am an extrovert, personable, intelligent, and am not limited to one spe ... read more
