A Little Bit About Me...

I have taught students with a wide range of educational, social and emotional needs. I am very experienced in designing individualized curriculum and modifying grade level lessons. I believe that assessment of skills will enable me to design lessons that encompass all of the student's cognitive areas of development, and feel it is vital to address issues such as the student's personal interests and strengths. I have worked with multicultural students in several states across the country. I have worked with learning disable students in a resource room, grades 3-8. I have also worked with students with moderate to severe handicapping conditions in a self-contained setting, pre-K through 6th grade.
With a MSEd in special education, I have had extensive coursework in the acquisition of language skills. General coursework includes teaching basic math, language and remedial or modi ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am a recent graduate of the Master in Teaching program at The Evergreen State College. I am a certified teacher in Washington state, endorsed to teach reading, writing, math and science K-8. Through my studies and student teaching experiences, I have worked with primarily first through fifth graders. In the realm of tutoring, I have experience tutoring struggling first through 5th grade readers in the Washington Reading Corps program. I also have three years experience working in Early Childhood education. Recently, I have started tutoring middle school students in math and science and find this age enjoyable to work with as well.
I am a teacher who believes in student's leading their own learning. In the world of tutoring, that corresponds to guiding students toward their own self-discovery. My goal is to give students the skills and tools which will allow them to become self ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I believe everyone learns best when the subject matter is interesting and engaging to that student. I have always tried to adapt my curriculum to the interests of my students. For example, I found many little boys felt they hated reading, but with the right books, could actually enjoy the experience. Learning should be fun! Progress of any sort should be rewarded. Children’s opinions deserve to become part of the teaching equation. Together, you, your child and I will find the best possible way to help them learn.
I chose to receive a Bachelor’s degree in Liberal Arts, so I could study many different fields, rather than focus on only one. I was thrilled with reading and literature courses; history; fine arts; sociology and humanities. I have always had a love of reading and I was happy to share the joy of reading when I volunteered my time to help struggling and early readers in ... read more

I completed my B.S in Biology in 1991 and my M.S. in Wildlife Research in 1994. I have 2 manuscripts published in the Journal of Wildlife Management. I worked for the Washington State Department of Natural Resources for 14 years as an Endangered Species Research Scientist. I have extensive experience in science, math, technical writing, computer programming, and database management. For the last 18 months I have been laid off and enjoying parenting my 2 children who are 11 and 7. Over the past 10 years I have volunteered in their schools, been active on the PTA, and taught Sunday School. I know I will be an excellent tutor of English, math, science, information technology!

Read More About Thomas F...

I will be upfront, I was known as a firm, but fair, teacher. I see science as a field primarily learned through doing, and I enjoy performing science demonstrations with my students to help illustrate new concepts. At the same time, I expect students to attempt to solve problems on their own, as opposed to simply memorizing how I solve problems. While it is sometimes difficult at first, I find it gives them confidence to approach future concepts and ideas both in and out of the specific science course.
As a high school teacher, I facilitated the instruction of approximately 100 students in Chemistry in accordance with Massachusetts Learning Standards. Developed and implemented course curriculum for the Forensic Science course, including labs featuring gun shot residue testing, urinalysis, and DNA electrophoresis . Supervised the after-school chemistry tutoring program for all high ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love to teach children of all ages, especially when they are eager to learn. I am always excited when I see the success children achieve. I have never met a student that couldn't learn. I always bond with my students and really care about them. I believe my success is seeing them succeed. Each student is a fresh experience and sometime a wonderful challenge.
I first began tutoring reading and writing in 1996 and continue. I wanted to become an English teacher but couldn't finish college because my parents could not afford it. I love to read and also to read to others. Teaching has always been my passion. I would like to do it more.

A Little Bit About Me...

I alter my teaching curriculum and style to fit the student’s individual needs and learning requirements. I believe in making the subject fun and exciting! Teaching should be a partnership that involves lots of interaction.
I have a passion for chemistry, and I have used that passion to inspire and motivate youth to pursue and enjoy chemistry. I have earned a degree in chemistry, but I have extensive knowledge in Biology, Calculus, Algebra and Physics.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have tutored and educated staff to raise their knowledge and understanding in an effort to help them appreciate their role and the benefit of their effort toward the goals of the overall department and organization. It has been my privilege to work with many bright, wonderful people who often didn't know "why they were doing what they were doing" or how important their role/work was to the whole. As a manager, I knew/know that 'you can only be as good as your people'. I love to see people succeed and come to believe in themselves and their abilities. I come from a long line of teachers and decided I didn't want to be another teacher--isn't if funny that I have most enjoyed the teacher/mentor role within work environments!
Interactive--listening to and learning from student to determine "where they're at". Then, posing questions to enable them to find their own beginning/so ... read more
