I have experience in assessment and therapy for Articulation, Language, Autism, and Dyslexia for children and adults.

My philosophy for working with young children is that learning strategies are most effective when they are interactive and fun

Teaching is enjoyable to me, but the bureaucracy of the school systems is not. I believe that there is no "one size fits all" when it comes to helping students learn. My children attended Montessori school during their elementary school years, and benefitted greatly from that method of education. They were treated as individuals and it well prepared them for the next steps in their educations. One of my children is a Judge and another is a doctor, so it must have worked. That type of individual attention draws me to tutoring. I taught high school for one year and middle school for a year and a half. I was certified to teach social studies 6-12, though I have let my certification expire. I have worked with middle school students for the past four years in an administrative and service capacity. I am an ex-Member of the Florida House of Representatives and have informally many stude

I believe all students can improve and achieve. I think a tutor must bring enthusiasm and skill to the table when working with students. A tutor must be encouraging and have a refined set of social skills to relate to administrators, parents, and the student. I strive to make all students wiser and more confident as they complete each tutoring session. I am a licensed and certified school psychologist in private practice. Currently, I am supervising 8 teachers for an SAT company and also teaching the Verbal component of this course. I have several years tutoring in Spanish as well as coursework completed at the U of Ct. I have tutored all subjects for over 20 years (except triganometry and calculus).

I graduated with honors from Florida State University with a BA in Communication. I am qualified to tutor in any subject pertaining to English, such as basic classroom and test preparation, but my specialty is in reading, spelling and grammar. My schedule is flexible and I look forward to helping your child realize their full potential. I am comfortable working with students of any age and skill level and possess a high level of patience. My experience comes from teaching martial arts. My focus is not only on ensuring that the student learns the techniques but on developing discipline, self-confidence, and respect for themselves and others. It is most important that the students learn to believe in themselves.

As an Emory graduate, I have always worked hard in order to attain my goals. I have earned a BS degree in anthropology and human biology, and a minor in science, culture, and society. As an anthropology major, I had the opportunity to study various aspects of human nature including biology, culture, linguistics, and medicine. My studies in anthropology have provided me a broad background and an open mind. Through human biology I was able to relate sociology with the sciences and hone my analytical skills. During high school, I worked as a tutor at an after school care center and in college I worked as a pre-calculus tutor. I have always enjoyed being around children and working with them. I believe that each student has the potential to master any concept he or she is struggling with through hard work and determination. I tutor with enthusiasm and encourage students to ask as man

I love working with all children and teaching them. Children are the future of tomorrow and someone took the time to teach me as such I believe that I should take the time also to impart my knowledge to others. Every child is different and learn in a different way but every child can learn. I am available to help your child find academic success. I believe in success and I am patient, caring, and honest. My goal is to provide the best education possible. Children are our future leaders, doctors and teachers and I believe that every child can be an asset and if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences they can achieve their goals. As a chartered accountant, I am a fellow of the association and have over 15 years experience in the field. I have gained a BA in accounting and I am currently pursuing my MBA in Accounting and Finance at Devry University Keller

My teaching approach is to be stern, but patient. Children need to be able to come to their own conclusions, whether in math, writing, or comprehension. This helps the children feel confident in their abilities to reason, discover, and come up with the proper solution to any probelm. However, I think a little guidance and help along the way may sometimes be neccessary. I love working with all types of children and with different learning styles, it is both challenging and rewarding. For the past 5-6 years I have been a tutor with two different students, both of whom are now beginning high school. Even though my educational backround is in Psychology and Interpersonal Communication, I worked with both students on reading, grammer, vocabulary, social studies, as well as some mathematics. I also worked for the Palm Beach County School District as an substitite aide for a boy with aut

Of the essence in tutoring is to make the subject pertinent and fun, as well as applicable to everyday life. For small children, we have phonetics to help the child master sounds and words. I do use Ipod teaching games to involve the child actively. Obviously for older children, who may have trouble expressing themselves, increasing vocabulary usage is of the utmost importance, otherwise compositions are redundant and lacking depth/style. Here is a feed for one of my blogs http://hubpages.com/author/vrajavala/latest/?rss As I indicated, I have a B.A.in Philosophy and later studies in Art. Later, in 1975, I decided to return to obtain a DMD at BU. After that I joined the Army and served as an Army dentist. Due to events in my life following my brief sojourn in the Army, I traveled abroad to India and Asia. Upon returning, I continued to study, but this time in more spiritual matters.

After graduating from high school, I felt that I could return to the high schools to provide a more engaging, caring education to many more students. Throughout the past fifteen years, I have taught various levels from gifted to varying exceptionalities, coached several sports, and enjoyed participating in many after school clubs and organizations. Since completing my masters degree, I want to continue to educate as many students as possible to share my love of education. I have been trained and always believed that all students can learn, under the right instructional forms. I use a variety of teaching styles to reach all of my students. Hands on, power points, lectures, movies, worksheets, diagrams, and even realouds provide learning for each individual in a different way. Exposing these learning methods to all students helps them find the best choice for them, while learning to l

I feel that the relationship formed between tutor and student is as important as the information being taught. A sincere concern for people is the foundation for successful and influential teaching. I gladly spent extra time planning an English lesson if it allowed the student to connect better with the material. To keep interest levels high, I would teach a lesson and then create practice exercises around one of the student's favorite hobbies such as cooking, surfing, or music. These exercises aided comprehension and retention while providing a fun and enjoyable learning experience. I believe in challenging students, giving them the tools they need to meet that challenge, and watching them succeed! I recently graduated with the highest honors from the University of Florida. I double-majored in economics and international relations with a minor in business administration, giving me bot
