My comments on tutoring Entrance Exams : Exams all come down to prep and organization!

I have always approached a teaching lesson as a learning opportunity. Learning is a fundamental skill. If you don't have your basic fundamentals, your student will have difficulty advancing. So, I always start with basic fundamentals such as; note taking, study skills, and comprehension! All sciences demand the ability to link concepts together. Ex. cells make up tissues, tissues make up organs, organs make up organ systems,etc.....! By understanding the make-up of cellular structures and relating that to tissue functions the students can fully understand a subject. This proves true with all subjects. By impowering the student with good base fundamentals, my students find it easier to link concepts together.
I obtained a B.S. in Biology, with a concentration in aquatic science, from Wittenberg University in 2006. During my undergraduate studies, I tutored elementary students i ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My teaching style has always been to treat each child the way I would want my own children to be treated. I teach with respect, honesty, humor and patience. I have the experience and ability to quickly assess where a student is in their learning and where they need to be. I like to “show” and “do” whenever possible so students can “see” and “experience” how the world works and how the learning relates to their previous knowledge. I believe all children can be successful when they are challenged in a caring relationship. One of my favorite sayings is, “They don’t care what you know until they know you care.” My goal is to build that caring relationship with my students and help them be successful.
I have been teaching for over 20 years, both in the traditional classroom and online. My Bachelor’s Degree is in Physics and Math, and my Master’s Degree is in Physics Education. ... read more

Active participation defines my teaching style. I truly like and enjoy my students. Because of this sincerity, the students seem to enjoy it as well. "Hands on" seems to work best for my subject matter. Students learning is reinforced with many varied activities. A few examples include,writing and performing skits,acting out novels and plays, assuming the roles of peritnent characters, cooking, library research projects,etc. I have not only hosted many European trips, but have arranged many cultural activities for the benefit of my students ... read more

Literally all my life I have been asked by students, parents and teachers to help students who were having trouble. I get tremendous fulfillment from watching someone who has been frustrated finally "get it." In addition to teaching music lessons, tutoring all subjects, and homeschooling my own two children, I have worked for the last 17 years with a private school. There I have taught a wide variety of subjects, but they depend on me the most heavily for high school sciences and maths. I am currently a registered substitute teacher, state certified to teach music and high school math, and I am working toward certification in more subjects. Due to my own hunger for education, I am actively pursuing a Masters Degree in Math Education.
When I begin tutoring a new student, my first objective is for us to get to know each other. The student will not be able to receive very much from me ... read more

As indicated previously, I believe all children can learn. More importantly, parents and teachers can learn a great deal from their children, specifically by listening and recognizing what motivates, excites, and draws the child in. I am extremely patient, but firm in drive and conviction to provide the best educational opportunity for every student.
As a life long learner, the parent of two school age children, and a business professional, I continue to be intrigued and encouraged by the willingness of students to learn. As an adult student earning a bachelors and masters degree, I gained a passion for education as I was not the typical college student. Rather, I was a very typical high school student, and later a part time college student, who was not prepared for college. My passion is to bring out the best learner any student can be, plain and simple. Through my work as a ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Most kids and young adults have the ability to complete the necessary level of work. They just need that extra amount of help to bring out the skills they already possess. I have found in working with young people that confidance is crucial. I am a good communicator with kids and try to instill that they can achieve their academic goals through patience, practice, and an open mind to success.
I have done volunteer work with kids (all levels) who needed help catching up to the level of their peers as well as working with adults to improve their reading. I have also coached basketball for middle school boys for several years. Reading, writing, history, social studies, and science are my areas of expertise. Test preparation is another area I can really help in. My eleven years in high end medical sales have given me the ability to mesh with all different kinds of personalities and w ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

For most of my professional career, I was a senior financial administrator in the non-profit sector. After receiving my Doctorate in 2002, I moved from an Administrative position to a Faculty position at the University of Massachusetts. For the past 8 years, I have worked as a professor of Accounting and Finance at a variety of universities and colleges. I feel that I bring a wealth of practical experience to the classroom and this helps me make classroom learning more relevant to my students. In addition to my classroom teaching experience, I have also worked as a test reader for the GRE exams and a volunteer tutor for adult learners.
In terms of teaching style, I believe that different students require different teaching styles and techniques and I attempt to vary and utilize those based upon the specific needs of the student. As a more specific comment related to the teachi ... read more

I have earned a BA in political science, and I will finish my PhD in May 2006. Through my graduate work, I have developed very strong math and writing skills that would enable me to be a very effective tutor for students in both math and reading. I have also worked with students to improve their writing style in the classes that I have taught, teaching them basic grammar and essay organization.
My goal in the classroom is to find a way to make my students relate to the material. I want my students to care enough to ask questions and work hard to understand the material. I enjoy teaching very much. I believe that it is an opportunity to teach my students that they can do anything that they want to do in their lives. I know that I have made a difference in the lives of my students, because they have told me that I changed the way that they see the world.

I like to use the Socratic style of teaching combined with using examples from historical and current events to convey an idea. I like for students to comprehend an idea through their own effort, guided by relevant questions from me. Finally, I want to instill in students a natural love of learning and curiosity about the world that they live in.
I have a diverse background in teaching/tutoring. I have been a high school English teacher and a substitute teacher. Also, I have tutored for agencies as well as independently. The subjects I have tutored include English, composition, mathematics, geometry, and SAT preparation.

I teach according to each student's learning style. I pay special attention to verbal and physical queues to understand if and how I need to change my style. I have learned that not all students can learn in the same manner and need specialized teaching in order to achieve the greatest success.
As a high school student, I tutored elementary and middle school students in their homes. In college, I tutored elementary age migrant children after school in english, math, and with homework studies. I also have three years experience in a public school system as a substitute teaching all grades in all subjects ranging from math and english to agriculture and special education.

I take pride in my ability to be innovative and creative to teach all children the way that they learn. I truly believe that there are 25-different types of intelligence. As educators, it is out job to determine how kids learn and teach them that way; not expect them to conform to a formula or out expectation. All children are unique and are brilliant in their own unique ways.
In my experience through course work and volunteer experience, I have instructed teens in mediation, leadership skills, and assisted them in making healthy choices, created a social skills curriculum, and learned various psychological techniques and skills for assisting people. By utilizing a multi-discipline approach, keeping accurate records of all sessions and interactions with the kids and their families, and communicating necessary information to team members.

From my own experiences as a student I have come to the opinion that the most valuable educational accomplishment one can achieve is to “learn how to learn”. This seems to be a state of mind, an epiphany if you will, which hopefully will be realized at some point in the course of an individual’s intellectual development. Such a state of mind is not usually due to the efforts of a particular instructor, nor is it the result of having taken a certain class. Rather it represents an ideal culmination of the educational process. Maybe, some would say it is the moment when the Scholar is born. Perhaps it is the moment when the true Student emerges. As instructors we may never know if we have ever contributed to such a moment of realization in a person’s life, but it is nice to think we can and it is nice to try, and over all that’s my philosophy of teaching. On a more specific level I have fo ... read more

Teaching is my passion. In the near future, I don't see myself doing anything else but that. My main objective in teaching is not only to promote learning of the subject matter, but also to help the students learn to think logically, learn problem-solving methods and techniques clearly and concisely, explain step-by-step processes and provide valid reasons for logical arguments. I just love to teach.
The position that I applied for is to teach/tutor College Algebra or advanced mathematics and physics. In term of education, I have a degree in Electrical Engineering with many hours in Mathematics. Regarding experience, I had taught Math from Entry Level up to Calculus at JLF University
