My teaching is relational and student centered. I motivate by affirmation and encouragement. I beleive it is important to listen to students and pay attention to their strenghts, fears, hopes, and passions.

I have also tutuored adults learning English as a second language and adults learning to read. Additionally, I have worked at after school programs, homeschooled a student who could not attend school for 3 months because of a brain injury, and volunteered as a reading partner for an elementary school student for three years.

To successfully teach,a tutor must first assess the individuals intellect,tastes and expectations.I am convinced that if a student can count and know the alphabet from A -G,they too can learn to play an instrument.Physical and mental obstacles are only a minor hurdle in learning to play. Getting to know the students tastes in music and personal aspirations of playing are paramount to success.With this in mind, a tutor can set a course of appropriate lessons to coincide with where a student wants to take his or hers playing level. I have performed through out the United States and Canada,as a guitarist,singer,and music arranger.This has provided me with a vast knowledge of my instrument,and also a wealth of insight to the mechanics involved in playing an instrument and performing.For the past 35 years I have done solo and group work in various situations such as clubs,restaurants,wedding

My teaching style is different for each student. I have never considered myself a student that things come easy to. I always had to find a way to relate to the material, and when I tutor that is exactly what I try to achieve with each student. Sometimes all it takes is it being explained one more time a different way. As a graduate of the top chiropractic school in the world, I have achieved a high level of education. I have a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Through out the years I have taught 5-8th graders in various subjects, as well as helped teach for a national board review company to chiropractic students all over the country in a variety of topics. I was also the editor-in-chief for the Palmer Triune, helping me obtain an excellent understanding and appreciation for the English language.

When tutoring a student, I like to start with giving the student a few problems to see where their competency level lies. From there, I proceed like a teacher in a classroom would. I explain a problem while I am solving it step by step on a piece of paper. This allows the student to learn two separate ways-visually and orally. Once an idea is grasped, I like to give the student a couple of similar problems to solve on their own. I am very patient and will not give up on a student-even if it means taking more time on a specific area. I am here to help the student gain confidence and understanding in their area of study. I am a Magna Cum Laude graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting from the Franciscan University of Steubenville. I have been working in the Accounting field for 9 years and plan to sit for the CPA exam in the future. In the accounting field many tale

I enjoy helping others learn. Something in which I have always excelled is helping them look at learning something from another view point than they have been. Learning in a hands-on manner using real life situations is the best manner in teaching any subject to a student. Over the years, I have been involved in a number of different teaching and volunteer programs including Junior Achievement and 4-H. I enjoy learning new things and sharing what I've learned with others. My background includes a variety of different jobs including retail management, the military and banking.

With a degree in Marketing and a year of school for mechanical engineering I have completed a number of calculus classes throughout the years. I supported myself throughout college and beyond in the Food and Beverage Service Industry and took a job in the Insurance Industry after graduating. I am now in the process of starting my own company and am looking for extra work as well. I really enjoy teaching and have aided in teaching math to young family members and to children of my friends. Being someone who likes to see the "big picture" of concepts and ideas, I struggled through math as a child, believing that I didn't understand it. I finally realized one day of the simplicity in it and actually began to enjoy solving problems one step at a time. I like to utilize trust and humor in teaching, giving kids an environment to feel safe and confident in. In doing so I have been able to earn

Teaching kindergarten and second grade was my passion for 20 years. As a classroom teacher, my students were provided with a warm, enthusiastic classroom environment defined within a framework of high yet achievable expectations. I've worked with students of all ability levels. Having twice acted as a teacher-facilitator for fifth grade students in the College for Kids summer program, I challenged students with reading and creative writing assignments that collaborated with the curriculum focus of the day. My classroom was defined by rules and consequences within a Love and Logic framework. During my years as a kindergarten teacher, it was necessary to provide students with a fun, stimulating, hands-on approach to learning so that they enjoyed coming to school on a daily basis. Creating the teacher/student bond is essential to achieving a successful and productive classro

My work experience is a unique combination of teaching and entrepreneurship. Following college graduation I worked as a general manager for a highly successful restaurant, where I managed a staff of over 70 employees. I excelled at training young staff to acquire the necessary skills and knowledge to succeed in the workplace. Inspired by my training and development responsibilities as a manager, I chose to return to school to earn my Masters of Science Degree in the field of Business Education (from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater). As a high school teacher, I taught a variety of classes including accounting, marketing, finance, business law, computer applications, and web design. I love working with students of all ages and demographic backgrounds. I am patient and believe that each student has their own unique style of learning. My goal is to teach each student how to bec

My desire to teach and tutor students in mathematics comes from my love of the subject. I have always enjoyed math and truly enjoy passing on my knowledge of math. I understand that many people do not share my passion for numbers but I work with my students to help them achieve a greater understanding and appreciation for mathematics. When I begin with a new student I like to spend a few minutes discussing the goals he or she has for our sessions. I prefer to work with the student one on one, where we can go step by step through the subject, taking extra time where needed and not dwelling on the areas already understood. It is my hope to teach my students how to learn math, not just teach them the math. In this way they are able to help themselves advance and reach their goals. I recently graduated with BA of Mathematics from Carthage College, one of the top 10 colleges in the Midw
