A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that every child has the unalienable right to experience some success each and every day of their lives. My approach is hands-on, student centered and nurturing. I believe in learning by discovery and the use of manipulatives in a manner whereby the student learns without even knowing it. The discovery approach is best to grasping knowledge but to process any and all information is tantamount. Knowing what to do with the information is far more important than just possessing it. Therefore, my students need to learn how to utilize their knowledge by applying it a variety of situations for true understanding.
I had been a teacher for 12 years engaging in a multitude of learning styles and methodology. I spent 6 years serving as principal at all levels. I was Director of Education for two years and then served as Superintendent of Schools for two districts for a total of ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching and learning. After graduating with a bachelor's degree in English and Journalism from Northwestern, I went on to tutor students in Biblical Hebrew while earning my master's in theology. I enjoyed teaching so much that I decided to earn a master's degree in education. While working on that degree, I tutored students in English, reading and math at Educational Partners. I then spent a year working as a high school English teacher in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. While earning my most recent master's in English, I have taught English composition at WVU for the last three years. I have also taught creative writing.
I believe that all students can learn. I think that one of the cornerstones of my teaching style is having high expectations for my students. Though each student has different skills and abilities, most can be engaged to use the skills he or she brings to learn if ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I bring advanced college degrees, 20 years of real-world experience, and a deep insight into the barriers of culture, race, and language. I have a Bachelors degree(Chemical Engr.) and Masters (Chemical Engr. with Environmental Engr thesis). I passionately pursued a consulting career in environmental engineering for over 20 years serving federal clients. I honed excellent technical writing and public speaking skills. Specifically, I needed to convey complex issues to a wide audience in simple words. I taught math and science to my niece and her friends all the way through their high school years.
In physics, chemistry, and mathematics, I believe it is very important that the student must learn the fundamental principles and concepts for long-term retention and application. Therefore, my teaching style will be based on: "DID YOU GET IT?" and not based on "rote learning" or "gettin ... read more

I am a proponent of two things. First, encouragement. I always encourage the smallest success before I point out any failure. I never get frustrated or upset. I never get angry or disappointed. I know that encouragement breeds success, and success is the goal. Second, I speak to children as if they know what I mean. In other words, I never talk down to them. I almost feel as if I might treat kids more like adults than I treat adults.
I have always been very mathematical, even though I did little to cultivate it. One of my favorite classes in college was a statistics course I took, and the other was a logic class. I love to read books, and I enjoy chess as a hobby. Teaching is my true passion, and I regret leaving a teaching job to pursue a law degree, and I can only hope to pick up where I left off. I was a teacher/counselor at a teenage group home for 4 years. This was the most re ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy teaching and coaching. Why am I effective? I talk to - not at my pupils. My non-threatening and non-intimidating persona allows me to quickly develop a healthy rapport. By listening to my students' thought processes, I work within their frame of reference and then offer suggestions to guide them to a more appropriate path. Finally, I always encourage and am highly adept at objectively critiquing without offending.
My professional career began at Kaplan Test Prep in Manhattan. As a Test Prep Specialist, I lectured to hundreds of students the concepts tested and test-taking strategies required for the GMAT, LSAT, GRE & SAT standardized exams. My ability garnered me Instructor of the Year for three consecutive years. In addition, I have private tutored in a variety of subject areas. Even during my MBA studies at Duquesne University, I was active in the school's PACT ... read more

I pride myself on my desire to structure my lessons and my attitude in a student-centered way, and I am keenly aware that the true environment of my classroom depends on me. My philosophy of education is that the bulk of the weight rests on my shoulders; I issue the clear expectations, promote logical consequences, and then I practice what I preach. A firm subscriber to the philosophy that students must be given the opportunity to make their own decisions and that they must be able to see the logical consequence of those decisions, I operate my classroom knowing that teenagers need to feel like they have ownership of their lives. If I am organized, prepare captivating lessons, provide clear expectations, and promote logical consequences, my students will be the captains of their own ships and I will have played a role in cultivating more engaged citizens.
As a summa cum laude gra ... read more

I realized my passion for teaching after working in a daycare for two years and organizing their preschool program. At, Carlow my teaching experiences were enhanced through my various field placements and student teaching. In October 2008, I began working as the third grade teaching assistant, at The Urban League of Pittsburgh Charter School. I taught Social Studies, Handwriting, worked in small groups and helped with after school tutoring. In February 2009, I became the primary reading coach at ULGPCS. In this position, I taught whole class lessons on reading comprehension techniques such as visualization, summarizing, and predicting. In addition to these responsibilities, I pulled out small groups of at risk, first and second grade students to improve reading fluency, decoding, and comprehension skills. Also, with the help of the Process Writing technique, I instructed writing to fi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a result of my post-high school studies in mathematics and business, I feel I'm suited to tutor people in those subjects. Statistics, quantitative methods, and analytical methods are my strongest subjects. Additionally, I have college graduate level skills in English/grammar, science, and social studies. Although theses were not part of my major, I do have above high school skills to share with those who need help in those subjects. Out of those three, my English skills are above average from writing many research papers on business subjects.
This particular position interests me because I struggled with math through middle school and understand the frustration it can create for a student. Mathematics is now my strongest subject and I chose the profession of accounting to utilize those strengths. During my time at college, I helped other students with their studies in math ... read more

My teaching style would focus on making sure that all children understand the basics of what they are doing before they can proceed to a more difficult level of study. A strong foundation is the best way to achieve excellence whether studying basic Algebra or Advanced Inorganic Chemistry. I believe in teaching through all different means from lectures, to hands on projects, to outings that are focused on the field being studied. I feel that the best way for a student to learn is to immerse the student with all of the different learning techniques there are. One good role model in a student’s life can really motivate a student and help them succeed in their dreams. This is why I strive to make a difference in student’s lives.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is very student-centered; I not only actively seek to engage students in my curriculum, but I also seek to help foster their love of learning. I firmly believe in differentiating my instruction to accommodate my student's various learning strengths and styles, and in pursuit of this goal I utilize educational supplements as integral parts of my curricula. I also am a firm believer in the usefulness of learning standards as a guide for successful instruction. I use them to help me set goals for my students, and then I plan backwards to decide how I can help my students achieve those goals.
I have earned two degrees, a Bachelor of Arts in English and a Master of Arts in Education. I not only successfully completed two teaching internships in Manhattan's public schools, but I have also taught in Brooklyn's Middle and High Schools. I am currently employed as a ... read more
