More About This Tutor...

I am a former attorney, currently in work-release. The undercapitalization of my practice kept me from being able to withstand a series of family financial disasters, and I stole to make ends meet. For this, I take complete personal responsibility. I have been a good, hard worker for my entire life, and I respectfully ask for a second chance. Bonded to $10,000.00.

More About This Tutor...

I have always been an avid reader and writer, as well as a natural teacher. As early as middle school, I was tutoring my fellow classmates at the request of their parents. I studied Latin for five years, which provided an exceptional foundation for the study of English, which I pursued as my major at Loyola University. I concentrated in Creative Writing, so the bulk of my college work consisted of reading and writing to very exacting standards. I graduated Summa Cum Laude, maintaining a 4.0 major GPA for my entire four years. I have since worked as an SAT Instructor for the Princeton Review and have also tutored privately and given music lessons for supplementary income.
I have always had an inclination to teach. To me, there is something very exciting about conveying understanding of a concept to another person. I think I have a particular ability for identifying precisely what as ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am currently enrolled in the graduate engineering program at the University of Florida, in which I plan to graduate in the spring of 2012. I enjoy working with people and I have a strong background in numerical analysis. I have taken the GRE, ACT, and the SAT. Scores were high above the national average for math and at about the average for the written portion. I do have experience in writing research papers and laboratory reports, all in the field of civil engineering.
I love seeing people understand something once I explain it to them in a way that they can understand it. I also love working with kids and teenagers because I believe that if we have a positive influence on young people they will grow up to be the leaders that our nation needs. My teaching style is geared at making people think. Students don't learn when they are spoon fed their education but when they are lead i ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I attended Columbia University in New York City, graduating in three years with my BA in English. There, my passion for books and writing reached new heights--and, I realized I wanted to share my passion with others through teaching and tutoring. Columbia's core curriculum also gave me the chance to pursue other academic interests, such as calculus, chemistry, social psychology, music and art humanities, and Eastern cultures. I attained my secondary teaching certification last December and gained valuable experience working with students in the classroom as a mentor and student teacher. In addition, I have worked as a substitute teacher, summer camp counselor and director, and girls basketball coach in the past four years.
For me, meaning is at the heart of what it means to be a teacher. If what I am teaching means nothing to my students, then I can expect them to retain very ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am the son of a teacher and have therefore had the value of a good education as a part of my world view. Both of my parents are also avid readers and critical thinkers and instilled the virtues of scholastic practice. Hence, I embarked on a collegiate career that included 12 years studying philosophy, history, religion, Irish Studies, literature, and finally education. Near the end of this time, I felt that the best use of my talents and experience would be in the classroom helping to build a better society through the young people who cross that threshold. I spent three years in Hawaii and the San Francisco Bay area teaching 7th and 8th grade learning handicapped, emotionally disturbed, and autistic students. through all of these years I have also tutored students ranging from inner city broken homes to Ivy League geared people.
I have found that the best way to teach is to be f ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Freud has influenced my teaching style: allow the student to learn from experience. I design the activity. I believe that kids should go beyond their potential. As an owner of a tutoring service, my style was my marketing tool. As a tutor at upward bound, my style attracted most of the kids.

More About This Tutor...

I have been teaching Foreign Languages (Latin, French, Spanish, Italian, German) for over 20 years, and have an extensive experience in all types of schools (private, charter, public), and in tutoring on a one-to-one basis. I have followed a lot of workshops in different countries in order to keep abreast of the latest development in teaching Foreign Languages.
I try to build a relationship with my students from day one, and I like that they build also a relationship with me. I encourage full participation of the student, while adapting my presentation to different learning styles. Students are expected to take full responsibility for learning what they need to know, and for asking for help when they don't understand something. I try to find activities adapted to the specific problems and learning styles.
