EXPERT TUTOR-MultiSubject; Home/ONLINE; +WRITING instructor

As a tutor, I find that it is important to present the material to the students in a way that they can relate to. My job as an educator is to teach them how to learn it and make them want to learn it. I personally do not believe that negative reinforcement is beneficial. Positive responses to students are extremely valuable, even if they may occasionally give the wrong answer. This will give them the motivation to do well. My philosophy is that teaching is part knowledge, part communication, and part intuition. My intuition is necessary to understand where a student is getting stuck. I myself already understand the material; the challenge is to understand why a student does not. A variety of communicative teaching approaches is best. I have learned that different students respond to visual, auditory, or tactile methods. As always, continuous practice is extremely important. I also must ... read more

Hello! I am a recent graduate thrilled to tutor others in the exciting world of biology. I understand that the subject matter can at times be intimidating, therefore I am a very patient tutor who will adapt to student's pace so that learning can take place. I am similarly excited about writing, having assisted many fellow students in college with papers on various subjects, as well as earning all A's and B's in every English course taken in college. I have experience working with school aged children as a former Girl Scout Troop Leader, as well as young adults as a former mentor. If you are looking for an energetic, understanding tutor I look forward to working with you.

My comments on tutoring Earth Science : Highly qualified k-8

Constructivist, multi-sensory, inquiry-based.
For 20 years I worked for Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools, as a fifth through 7th Grade classroom teacher. I taught all of the academic subjects in various combinations, sometimes all at once to a self-contained class. The State of Tennessee recognized me as "Highly Qualified" in all subjects, from Kindergarten through 8th Grade. I served on the district's math council for 5 years, helped direct the district's science fair one year, and worked extensively in the field of arts-based curriculum development. I also was trained in the IB curriculum, and implemented it for 10 years.

Being a student who had reading comprehension in early grades, I understand the shyness and frustration many students have with this difficulty. I respond to them with compassion, and often open up to them with a short story of my own experience. This way the student feels that I understand them and are more willing to learn the material I am trying to teach them. In the beginning I will sit down with the student and their parents to see what is their area of difficulty. If available, with permission, I will contact the student's teacher(s) to see what areas he/she needs to be tutored on to bring them up to their grade level. Once this is established, I will compose a lesson plan and go over it with the child's parents so that they can see what we will be working on and when. This way I am keeping contact with all parties involved and the student is getting the maximum benefit out of the ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I focus on cognitive development (Reading, writing, speech, creativity..) as well as social skills to prepare the child. I like to tap into the three most efficient instructional methods which are visual, physical and verbal when working with children. I have used a lot of visual resources in my past curriculum which have been very successful! I'm very attentive to children's behavior and body language and keep them in consideration throughout my interactions with them. I strive to make learning fun !
As a language trainer I am knowledgeable in all-levels of French training and tutoring I've worked professionally for clients of Cartus a global mobility management company. I've also held a position as a Arts and Crafts director and held full responsibility for planning, leading and instructing traditional and multi-cultural Arts & Crafts programs for children, ages 5-15.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have loved education and the process of learning since I was a child. Due to family issues, I dropped out at in the 9th grade but due to extensive reading most of my life on many subjects, and being gifted intellectually, thank God, I was enrolled in college at the age of 16. Due to my age, I lacked the discipline needed to succeed then so joined the Army at 18 and finished first in my class in their HS program. I continued going to college in the evenings an weekends until I completed my Master's degree, meanwhile raising 3 children and running a certified home daycare. I am currently a Realtor but am looking to enroll in a Doctoral program in Education. I am a "people" person as they say and get refueled helping others learn and figuring out a way for it to make sense students to overcome their barriers. I am comfortable with all subjects except the higher maths (trigonometry/ge ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am a recent college graduate who has demonstrated academic excellence in all subject areas. Particularly, I excelled in mathematics and became a math tutor while completing my AS degree. In doing so, I discovered a genuine love for the subject and an enthusiasm for teaching others. I recently obtained a BA in psychology where I learned a great deal about human behavior that will assist me in relating to other students. As I also completed a minor in mathematics, I understand the patience required in learning complex topics, and have empathy towards those having difficulty with subject matter. I feel prepared to encourage and motivate students if they become frustrated. While I consider mathematics my forte, I feel confident assisting students in most subject areas.

1998 was the my first tutoring experience, I took time from busy school schedule to tutor students in Math and Science at a low income school near my college. After spending time tutoring students in a variety of subjects I decided to go for an education degree once I finished my undergraduate degree. While working towards my Masters degree I spent a semester working in the Seattle Public school as a substitute teachers aid. Once I finished my Masters degree and teaching certification I received a job as an Earth Science teacher. I taught for one year at that school and then moved to the state of Tennessee. For the past two years I have taught Biology, Physical Science, and Ecology.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a college student, I was convinced early that I would become a doctor or scientific researcher. About halfway through my college career, I decided that while science was interesting, people and world politics were much more interesting. Now, with a BA in International Studies, I have greatly improved my skills in research, writing, public speaking, teaching, and leadership. My knowledge base is broad and deep, and I am comfortable with the subjects of: Natural Sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Ecology), International Studies (Economics, Politics, Conflict), English, and Psychology.
As my experience at college drew to a close, I found that the most rewarding activities I participated in were centered on education. I am a lifelong learner, and I love participating with others in the learning process. I set a relaxed atmosphere that fosters the students drive to ask questions and seek ... read more
