What I have discovered about myself is that I learn differently from other people. I am the kind of person who prefers to set aside that assembly instruction manual and put together that Christmas toy by laying out the pieces in an orderly fashion. There is so much pleasure in problem solving. I learn by asking myself questions. I have little patience for mundane drills and memorization if they can be avoided. Each child is different. It is meaningless to say that a child is intelligent. There are many kinds of intelligences. Some children are more intelligent in memorization. Others are intelligent in solving problems. It is best to discover the child's strengths and weaknesses and adapt a program to each and every child. I love learning and the precision arts such as mathematics. This has driven me to begin in a computer career. I spent almost two decades applying my com

My job is not to give students answers, but to push them to articulate better and give better answers. I teach not by lecturing but by discussion; together we work through problems and questions. By showing students (gently) where their thinking could be improved without giving them the actual answers, I push students to solve problems on their own. My teaching strategies were recognized with teaching awards at UVA and at UNC-Pembroke. I have earned a PhD in philosophy from the University of Virginia, and taught at the university level at Virginia Tech, UVA, Hampden-Sydney College, West Point, and the University of North Carolina at Pembroke for ten years. During that time, I have taught philosophy, logic (including test prep for the GRE and LSAT), and composition. A chemistry minor in college, I am also proficient in basic science and mathematics. I have tutored in composition, alge

I have earned two bachelor degrees, one in Information Systems and Business Processes and the other in Communications and Media. I believe that education is very important and am now continuing my education, I plan to receive my Masters in Higher Education in May 2012. I have worked as a counselor at a young female enrichment program for the last two years, and enjoyed tutoring in Math, Science, Digital Arts and would love to tutor in other subjects if needed. I have worked at summer camps for children ages 8-16 throughout my entire life, and love making a difference in a child's life. I am very patient and have a positive attitude. I believe that students learn in different ways, and it is our job as educators to help enrich them for the future. When given the proper instructions and guidance I firmly believe that any child can succeed if just one person believes in them. I believe

As an adult graduate of a local university, I believe that everyone has their own learning style. Not every teacher recognizes that students learn differently, and I have been successful helping others with hands-on, re-teaching, and verbal skills. Sometimes it helps to just review information, but in the end doing my best to help the student learn. I am currently employed as a Regional Revenue Manager responsible for daily functions of increasing revenue for hotels that I serve. I have to utilize various levels of math everyday to be successful, through this employment and working in banking and as a treasurer for a church, I believe my expertise will help me be a great tutor for you and your student.

I strive to help students create an appetitite for learning. I also understand that each child learns differently. I have patience and I believe that every child can achieve their educational goals with a good educator and the appropriate surroundings. Assistive technologies are a great way to provide a unique learning experience. I believe that a fun learning experience is a true learning experience. I have a passion for helping others and I live to learn. I realized at a very young age the power of education. I earned a Bachelor’s degree in International business in August 2009. I am an MBA candidate and my expected graduation date is February 2011. Throughout my studies I have gained extensive knowledge in a variety of subjects including, English, Psychology, Biology/Sciences, Mathematics, and business. I tutored 17 students in math my freshman year of college. I worked with

I personally prefer one on one interaction for tutoring . I would first determine areas which need to strengthened. ThenI would emphasize these areas in the instruction process.Then I would assign work (exercises,problems,questions). These would then be reviewed to determine the students grasp of the material.These areas would be worked on until the student had an adequate grasp of the material. Accounting is a subject that is learned by doing.Certainally a student has to read the material,but actual hands on doing is where real learning and retention take place.Most of my tutoring hs been volunteering , but generally with minimal instruction those I have assisted have increased there scores 15% to 20%.

My favorite part of tutoring is working with children who are frustrated with a subject and being able to break it down and teach it to them in a way that they can relate to. Also, the self-confidence the student gets that comes from being prepared for a test is very important. My freshman year at Clemson I tutored 7th graders in math. I was also a tutor in high school for a k-6 school for children with low-income families. It has always been a passion of mine to help others with grasping a subject.

As an MBA graduate with a concentration in Finance, I have had much experience with Finance and Accounting courses. I am used to working in teams and have a talent for simplifying complex information in order to help others. I have tutored a friend in undergraduate accounting and with my help he received an A in the class. I consider myself an expert in MS Excel, Access, and PowerPoint; all of which I believe will be essential in completing a degree in finance or accounting. I am fresh out of my masters program and have taken all the relevant courses that would enable me to help other students in their pursuit of a finance/accounting degree. I really enjoy helping and teaching people. I realize that everyone learns in a different fashion and that each student needs a specifically tailored teaching method. I believe a student really learns the material when he/she understands the reasonin

My teaching style has been to make learning fun and easy to remember. When I have taught I've been very interactive with the students and have gotten many compliments from students and patients as well, on my ability to communicate on almost any level. In Medical School, Residency and practice I have always been expected to be in the simultaneous role of student, teacher, mentor and tutor. I can say I have a vast amount of training and expereience in science, physics, chemistry, mathematics, as well as the liberal arts. I score as an ITSP on the Myers-Briggs evaluation which means I am not only concrete in speech and utilitarian in getting things done, I am also directive and attentive in teaching settings. I have done a small amount of teaching at the junior college level and am comfortable giving oral presentations to groups of people.

I believe that true education requires your child to synthesize the material, not merely memorize answers. As your child's tutor I will seek to provide them guidance and instruction to help them solve problems and learn material on their own. Not only will your child learn the material, but my goal is to teach them how to learn so that they can achieve success not only with a tutor now, but long into the future. I believe education is primarily about learning, not merely making a grade. As I applied this philosophy in college, I realized that where true learning occurs good grades follow. I completed a bachelor's in accounting summa cum laude in 2009. In addition to my major focus in finance and business, I completed a minor in History and took an extensive number of English courses as well. The broad liberal arts framework for my college curriculum taught me not only specific subjects,

I served four years of active duty in the United State Marine Corps. I have mentor and lead Marines on a daily basis to ensure their safety and well being. Teaching them their job skills and ensuring that each individual conduct themselves as a Marine. I have acquired electronics/electrical skills in troubleshooting and repairing. These skills required an extensive math knowledge. While serving in the Marine Corps, I worked on my BS in Electronic System Technology and completed this degree in December of 2009. I enjoy teaching and mentoring children to adults. I feel a sense of accomplishment when the individual have benefited from my help. I am patient, and considerate. I approach each individuals with the goal of providing them with the best of my abilities for them to learn and succeed.

My method of teaching varies with the subject. A spanish tutor and a chemistry tutor can go about things quite differently. I like leading students to find answers on their own so that they understand the paths they are taking. That method is especially helpful in hard sciences and math. In the liberal arts (poli-sci, literature, religion, philosophy, etc.) I like to work in the Socratic method. I'll challenge the students on topics and concepts with questions that need some thought. I want them to discuss issues with me, and that allows me to help expand their understanding and discover weak points in their knowledge. Since high school I've been working with my peers to help clarify subject matter, as that was my favorite method of study. In college I tutored under-classmen in Spanish, chemistry, and political science. Since graduating, I've worked with college freshmen as a writing tu

I have taught and mentored youth within religious organizations and non-profits for many years. I thoroughly enjoy working with students and have a significant amount of knowledge to share. With over 20 years work experience, I am quite proficient in identifying, assessing, and applying economic business principles in practical and efficient methods. During my graduate studies, I served in the capacity of Graduate Assistant and had the pleasure of substitute teaching for a couple of classes. More recently, I have tutored individuals in GED exam subjects. I like to develop a personal rapport with students. I am very interested in knowing a little about the total student, their family life, school activities and other extracurricular interests. Making a connection with the student at the onset opens the door for an unlimited exchange of information and facilitates an ease in the understand
