I am a dedicated professional who is passionate about helping students achieve academic success. This past year, I spent time as an SES Lead Tutor after school and in-home and tutored (Reading - phonics based - and Math) many children in grades K through 7th that held IEPs. I believe that each child learns at their own Pace and if they are tested, the gaps in their education will appear. Once these gaps are addressed, they can move forward with their peers. You must find out what works for each student and use that method to make learning fun. I believe in step-by-step hands on with a lot of practice. I would love to continue to have a positive impact on all students when it comes to Math and share with them the love that I have.
I started out as a Computer Instructor and enjoyed teaching computer classes but something was missing. I saw that my children was not getting the educ ... read more

Elementary, Middle, High School and College Tutor

I usually start with a diagnostic test to concentrate on weaker areas then come up with a weekly plan focusing on those areas. After a lesson, I usually give worksheets and sometimes online exercises, depending on the subject, and use videos and games if applicable.
I have tutored and mentored students for more than five years in Algebra I & II, Trigonometry, Physics, Chemistry, English and ESL. I have a degree in Psychology and a certificate in TEFL. I believe tutoring is a really helpful and useful addition to class and studying by oneself because it is reviewing class material once again and it is a way for students to be accountable to yet another person who knows the answers to their questions and can help them work to that answer as well.

Specializing in Out-of-the-Box Thinking for All Learners

I love to incorporate art and sensory experiences into everything I do to really activate the brain. The "Drill and Kill" is very rarely appropriate, so I tailor every approach individually. What works for one student may not work with another. My formal training includes many intervention types and experience with multiple programs and curricula, so I have a large pool from which to draw...then we get creative! My style REALLY aims for those over-arching foundational skills like critical thinking, thought organization, and problem solving. I will also track and provide data to monitor progress and hold myself accountable for effectiveness.
Let's start out by saying I am definitely not your average tutor! Fun is vital to motivation, and I live on the stuff! I have been teaching for over fifteen years in a variety of environments, working in inclusive environments with children ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My instructional approach emphasizes interactivity, use of new technologies, and a positive, "we can do it" philosophy that acknowledges writing s a process that starts with the creation of ideas, moves to refinement and revision, and ends with emphasis on correctness. In this approach, students who find writing challenging often discover that an emphasis on writing freely and creatively along with a focus on critical thinking skills, is the fastest way to improved written content and technique.
I offer 16 years of English writing instructional experience. I have taught a diverse range of students, both in terms of abilities and cultural backgrounds. Instructional areas include English as a second language, developmental concerns, creative writing and poetry (I am a published poet), professional and technical writing. I have also provided SAT and AP preparation tutoring.

Guided by experiences in my life and lessons I’ve learned through teaching, I’ve come to understand that all children learn differently. My goal is to first determine where the students need help, based on their learning style, and then focus my knowledge and experience to help them using proven teaching techniques and my own teaching methods. My philosophy of education is that I believe that teachers should provide an opportunity to facilitate the academic, social, and individual growth of students. We should incorporate cooperative learning, which includes literacy, math and science manipulatives and writing to help children to work cooperatively and explore their various talents.
Teaching is my passion and I believe that by teaching I can instill firm educational values in children and help develop within them a desire to learn and grow, which will lead to academic pride and s ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style varies based on the child that I am working with that time. I have worked with children with all different kinds of learning styles, so I have learned over the years that you have to be flexible and mindful of the specific child that you are working with. Through my experience I have learned to be more patient, understanding and fair when I am working with the children as well as when I am grading their assignments. During the time that I worked with tutoring companies, I was able to tutor students at their homes as well as on the weekends in a school based setting. These two working environments allowed me to have a sense of diversity in the styles of which I taught the children.
It has always been a passion of mine to work with and educate young children and youth. I began tutoring at a Elementary School for a few hours when I was in high school as well as assis ... read more

My teaching style varies according to the individuals. I am aware that people learn differently. I am patient and willing to break down a subject for clear understanding. After teaching, I very interested in the recipient teaching the subject back to me for a asurrance of understanding. Once a clear understanding has been established, students will be able to apply the same concepts to multiple problems to obtain the correct solution.

A Little Bit About Me...

In addition to college instructing, homeschooling my seven children over the last 20 years has taught me that unflappable patience, a sense of humor that makes learning fun, and the ability to help the student learn and achieve in simple steps was vital to their success. Also, an atmosphere of mutual-respect fosters self-confidence so that the student can believe in their own success. I evaluate students in light of their abilities, individual learning style, and the level of their commitment to their own success.
In my over 25 years in the business world I often found myself in a position of translating complex business and financial concepts into simplified examples so that they could be understood by non-accountants. This experience and resulting skill easily translated for me into classroom instruction as well as one-on-one individual instruction. I am presently an instructor ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am a graduate from the University of Virginia with a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry. In addition to requirements for my major, I took mathematics courses as my electives. I also attended a full-fledged International Baccalaureate school prior to university, including the middle years program and primary years program. At the IB school I also studied French for 13 years. I have tutored middle school and high school students over the past 6 years, primarily in mathematics and sometimes French. Most recently I have tutored algebra II, pre-calculus and helped a student prepare for the SATs. This past year I helped a student in algebra II bring their grade up from a C to a B.
I have a passion for tutoring and sharing my love of math. I believe anyone can perform better when it comes to math. Sometimes it is not a matter of the student being incapable of learning the material, but n ... read more
