I got my bachelors degree from India. My specialization was in Physics, Chemistry and Math. I am interested in chemistry and hence I enrolled into a Master's program in Chemistry and after that I worked as a chemistry lecturer in India. It gave me great pleasure to instruct students on the concepts of general and organic chemistry. Then I moved to USA and then registered at the University of North Carolina to obtain another Master's degree. While I was doing my graduation studies I also worked as a Teaching Assistant and I have taught undergraduate students. The master's program I enrolled was a research based program and hence I had to write a thesis on the research I performed. So I am good at the basic computer skills, I possess a good communication skill and good writing skills as well.
My teachers have been a great influence on me hence I think that each child should have an o ... read more

I believe children are most responsive when treated as intelligent individuals. I try to give my students the same respect I would want. I am very patient and calm, but I love to learn and try to instill a sense of fun and love of learning. Children learn differently, and it is important to be open to different methods of tutoring. I have found through my teaching, tutoring, and personal study that information stays better if students understand why and how things work as much as possible rather than rote memorization. When memorization is necessary, I try to use mnemonic devices such as poems and songs whenever possible (“‘I’ before ‘e’ except after ‘c’ or when sounded as ‘ay’ as in neighbor or weigh.”).
I have worked with youth for the past eight years, beginning with my volunteer work as a camp counselor with my community 4-H group. I have since worked as summer camp staff ... read more

I love educating others and teaching others to teach themselves. I believe each one of us has a specific learning style that needs to be discovered and emphasized for maximum learning potential. The responsibility of an educator is to understand learning differences and make sure to use learning tools that best suites the student. Without this knowledge, many smart and capable children will be left behind and not given the resources they deserve. This is why I love the process of learning and learning how to be a learner!

A Little Bit About Me...

My original plan was to major in Education, but decided to double major in school, then obtain my teaching certificate after graduation. Now, armed with two degrees and a desire to enter the academic world once again -this time as the teacher - I am currently in the middle of getting my certificate for subbing, as well as seeking employment/ my certificate through Teach for America. I have gained experience that has helped me prepare to be a fantastic tutor: I took my PRAXIS exam and scored 90% on all three subject matters, I have tutored special needs students at the high school level, I have tutored ESL, and have been both a day camp and wildnerness guide, leading and teaching people of all ages and backgrounds. I love helping people reach their full potential. My goal is to see the proud expression on a student's face that says "I get it!"

More About This Tutor...

In 2001, I started my educational degree program. In order to better prepare me for my future career, I immediately started working in the school system. From 2001-2004, I worked as a 1:1 aide for a child in the primary grades, K-12 substitute in all subject areas, youth mentor for mentally disturbed children, and a life-skills tutor for a child with Asberger's Syndrome. The day after I graduated with my bachelor's degree, I was hired as a permanent substitute. The next school year I got a job teaching fourth grade and I also started working on my master's degree. I stayed in that fourth grade position until I relocated to NJ in 2007, which is also when I obtained my master's degree. Since 2007, I have been the basic skills teacher for language arts at a local Middle School. Next year, I will be teaching eighth grade language arts literacy.

My teaching style is direct, disciplined, relaxed and conversational. It will not work to just dictate to a student! The point, I think, in tutoring, is to develop good study habits and identify and discard the bad ones. Once we know what works, we can proceed from there. It is also a question of knowing that studying can be made interesting and fun. Most high schools serve up tedious, boring curricula in tedious, boring ways. Yes, there are some things that need to be memorized, there is some brain sweat involved, but overall I believe that my education is expansive enough to offer a new way that can rejuvenate your child's interest in learning and the subject matter involved.
My teaching experience was ultimately a learning experience for me. While attending Brown University to get my MFA in Fiction Writing, I also got the opportunity to teach two college courses in my d ... read more

Last spring I graduated from the University of Florida Romance Languages and Literatures Department with a BA in French. Notably, I was one of only two students to graduate with honors. Not only am I a qualified tutor as a result of my strong academic capabilities and background due to writing extensive research papers in both French and English, but I also have a wide variety of experiences. I have tutored and/or taught students from nearly every age group and background including: elementary, middle, high school and college students to sixty years old adults. Since my freshman year of college, I have been teaching and tutoring a wide range of subjects including elementary to college level French, English and ESL, basic mathematics, test-taking and study skills. In addition, I worked at the University of Florida Career Resource Center helping students draft and revise resumes, co ... read more

I tell my friends that teaching is the best thing that I've ever done, and it continues to be a challenging and rewarding experience. Teaching high school can be especially difficult because many of the students are reluctant. This requires teachers to breathe life into their subjects. I use my energy and passion to relate the material, creating activities such as acting out a scene from a book. Critical thinking is the ultimate goal of my classes. No one piece of information could be as valuable as teaching someone how to think. I am also a firm believer in teaching responsibility as a means to create life-long learners. Assignments are designed to allow the students to create their own understanding while working within the constructs of the curriculum.

As a seasoned professional published journalist and published essayist, I am not only an avid reader, but also an expert writer. And while my writing conveys the high-level journalism and professionalism of newspapers, my writing also incorporates the creative flair of magazines. In this capacity, I served as an assistant editor and am an award-winning writer. From editorials and short stories to local news and investigative pieces, I have covered many facets of writing.
For the past four years, I have volunteered at a youth center for underpriviled children in cosmopolitan Palm Beach. The experience has taught me to be patient and clear when teaching. I try to lead the child to the answer using the Socratic Method. At the same time, I enhance the child's study skills and motivation towards homework, which in-turn boosts the child's self-esteem. Parents and children alike are satis ... read more
