A Little Bit About Me...

Most recently, I have been doing SAT Tutoring. In the past, I have done homework help for children with ADHD, autism, cognitive disorders, developmental delays, behavioral problems, focusing difficulties and time management. I have made a lot of progress with many children who seemed to be having a very difficult time. Children and teens just need someone patient and willing to work with them.

More About This Tutor...

I have always been an honors student and am currently taking the highest levels of math (AP Calculus) and spanish (Spanish 5) at my high school. I am involved in Peer Mentors at my school and have tutored multiple students in a variety of subjects. I have also tutored students outside of school, mostly in math. I love teaching others and helping them to understand concepts that they previously were struggling with. I am very patient and will work my hardest to make sure those I tutor succeed in school.
I generally teach through visual aids and through very thorough explanations. If the student doesn't understand the first time I explain something, I will explain it in a different way and will keep explaining it in different ways until he/she fully understands what's being taught. I try my hardest to teach by explaining concepts logically and showing WHY and HOW, rather than simply ... read more

Experienced, Inspirational Teacher and Student

Critical thinking is nourished so well-considered and studied opinions are more than welcome; they are essential. Students have conveyed to me that my style is one of "relaxed intensity" with a flair for the dramatic laced with a sense of humor and a genuine appreciation and respect for the views of others. Focused creativity is required.
I am a career educator who has taught English and other Humanities based courses extensively since 1988. My primary experience is on the college and university level but I also have a high school and middle school background. The educational and pedagogical philosophy I hold is this: The ability to communicate effectively remains the most vital of skills and is crucial to academic and career advancement. It is with a sense of privilege and honor I teach and with a sense of urgency as communication skills continue to evolve in a quickly changi ... read more

SAT - Verbal is one of my top subjects!

After graduating from an Ivy League college, I obtained my Master's Degree in Computer Science while working as a professional software developer.

I am an excellent standardized test taker (SAT, ACT, Praxis) and can share many test taking tips and strategies that have helped students improve their scores. I managed software development activities and projects at various software companies. I an excellent at explaining difficult concepts and helping people make sense of things.

Turning your weakness into your strength

I have been tutoring for over seven years, starting with my peers in tenth grade. I have tutored a wide range of subjects, from Geometry through Calculus III, from general computer knowledge through utilizing the advanced functions of Microsoft Access. I have tutored people ranging from my peers to people three times my age, to as young as third graders. My motto has evolved into "Helping those who feel they can not be helped"
I help guide the student along, having them discover much of the information in a trial and error fashion. I tend to use the questions they are struggling with the most, making similar examples, then walking them through these problems and breaking down the problems until the student understands the how the process works.

That depends on the student. Styles can be adapted to meet the needs of the student
I have 12 years experience in the healthcare/mental health field and a lot of that experience has been working with children and teens. I work well one on one with children and feel individualized attention provides the structure and support that many kids need.

As a successful college graduate in the rigorous discipline of philosophy, enhanced logical analysis, critical thinking, and compelling communication are skills that I have worked for years to cultivate, and which I have demonstrated to an above satisfactory degree, earning the distinction of magna cum laude from my alma mater, UNC Charlotte. I have tutored students in the areas of English, psychology, philosophy, statistics, algebra, and sociology for years, beginning as part of the Gaston College faculty and progressing to independent work students from all areas of Charlotte, NC.

More About This Tutor...

I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Criminal Justice with minors in African American Studies and Sociology from The University of North Carolina at Charlotte. While studying at UNCC, composing papers on a variety of subjects enhanced my grammar and sentence structure. Being a Lead teacher at Dixon Academy, supplied me with experience in interacting with both children and their parents from diverse behavioral, cultural, and economic backgrounds. In addition, it was my goal to make sure that my students completed their homework before leaving the center. Helping my children achieve that goal allowed me to apply my knowledge in mathematics, English, art, and science.
The sense of achievement that can be seen on a child’s face after mastering the unknown is why I am passionate about teaching. I am flexible, understanding, and compassionate. I believe that surrounding the chi ... read more

I believe listening is a fundamental element of teaching. I provide my students with an enhanced listenting ability in order that I may better serve their needs. I tend to work at a pace that is comfortable for your child without providing pressure or stressors. In utilizing this style of teaching, the experience becomes more enjoyable for your child which, in turn, makes learning not only essential but rewarding.
As a parent, former student, and an educator, I have been teaching children and adolescents for over ten years. I am skilled in the areas of English, psychology, sociology, and criminal justice. I also have a basic knowledge of Spanish having been educated in this area as well.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am of the strong opinion that everyone can learn to read well and can write skillfully. I am patient, fair, and honest. I am willing to focus on one skill at a time or combine and challenge, whichever the student needs at the time to best reach his or her goals. I take pride in the ability to help a student understand concepts that before may have eluded him or her for whatever reason in their general education. I am eager to help students reach their ultimate potential and gain the confidence to continue doing so throughout their lives.
Since my student teaching in college, I have been eager to help students not only improve their skills in reading and writing, but to recognize the joy of literature and power of the written word. I have taught grades 6, 8, and 9-12; courses including the IB program for high level students and Read 180 for low level students in the middle school; ... read more

My teaching style ultimately depends of the student. I work much better with an individual or small group than with a class because I can find the angle that works best for each student. For younger children, I like to make learning into different games to keep their attention. For older students, I think it is important to establish some level of confidence early on within a subject so that they do not get too discouraged while new material is presented.
I have always had a good ability in math and sciences. I obtained a BA in Psychology from the University of Rochester, with a minor in Brain and Cognitive Sciences. I tutored college students in Psychology and Chemistry during my time there. I have also worked with all ages of children while working as a ski-instructor.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love working one-on-one or in small groups. I am very encouraging and understand that each student has his or her own learning style. I am adaptive to these varying needs. I believe in positive reinforcement. I never get frustrated with a student and will try different methods until I find one that works with each particular student. I understand that my work not only helps a student to understand the subject, but also helps with the student's feeling of confidence and self-worth.
As a graduate, summa cum laude, with degrees in English and Voice, I am a highly driven individual. With my time spent as a Writing Center Consultant, I worked directly with students with a variety of writing needs. As both an independent and a corporate proofreader, I gained exceptional English language skills. My academic papers have always received the highest praise and I was at the top of my class. ... read more
