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

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 in math and science twice a week for two years. After college, I moved into the marine science profession. In August of 2008, I started teaching High School Biology I, Earth and Space Science, and Physical Science to students in Polk County. In addition, after school hours were spent with two students taking AP Biology classes. Both students achieved a 4 or higher on their placement exams. My tutored students reported an increase in their ability to record class notes, study, and take tests. My previous tutoring experiences have included subjects such as; elementary science, elementary math, Algebra (I & II), Geometry, Pre- Calculus, Anatomy, Physiology, Biology (both College and HS level), HS Chemistry, basic w ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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.

Throughout my experience tutoring students, I have learned that everyone has a unique learning style. No single rule applies to teaching someone. I spend time figuring out how a student learns and then adjust my style to their needs. After tutoring students for the past two years, I have learned that many kids have the ability to excel in school, and I enjoy helping them acquire the drive to learn.
As a graduate in the world of technology, I believe education never ends. Things change constantly therefore we must continue to educate ourselves. In addition, I have volunteered with high school juniors and seniors to help them through courses such as math, science, computers, and English in their preparation for college. While in college, I also tutored classmates in statistics, algebra, and technology courses. Beyond that, I have learned valuable lessons about teaching others in the ... read more

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.

More About This Tutor...

As a graduate, I understand the struggles each individual student may endure throughout their course work. Throughout my years as a student I have worked diligently and now applying to master's and PhD programs for neurological psychology. During the last 5 year, in high school and throughout college I have tutored others that needed help in psychology, algebra, statistics, geometry, and microbiology.
The best way for a person to learn depends on the person, of course. It is well known that people have different leaning styles that work best for them. The best approach for a tutor is to learn which learning style fits the student best. Everything can take into account, for example lighting of the room or even background noise. All students regardless of age should be able to succeed and its a privilege to help students that want to reach their top potential

A Little Bit About Me...

I have managed staff and senior level executives for more than 12 years. I believe the key to educating anyone is to understand the students learning obstacle and work to simplify the issue. The key here is what is simple to each student will be different on a case by case basis. Additionally, I feel that being engaging, and a little humorous helps keep students eganged in the subject matter. However, I also feel that the best way to learn is to work on practical examples. I personally feel rewarded when students grasp the issues and "see the light".

A Little Bit About Me...

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 working methodologies.
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 ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that all children can learn no matter what their ability level and love to find new ways of presenting information to children. I became a teacher to help children learn because of the help that was given to my youngest brother. He is many years younger than me and has Cerebal Palsy. I helped my mom homeschool him and would love to be able to help other children that need just a little more infomration to understand what they are doing.
As a special education teacher I strive to help all children learn in any way possible. I have my BS from the University of Alabama in Education of Young Children with Diverse Abilities. I have learned different ways to present information to children so that they are able to learn the information any way possible. I have also been a Training and Programming Specalist for the US Army's Child and Youth Services program where I trained ... read more

My teaching philosophy and style are very simple. I believe that all can learn and all can succeed with the proper guidance and simple direct instruction. I am a patient, understanding and thorough teacher who believes that once the light bulb goes off in a person's head, all the hard work was worth it.
I have had the pleasure of teaching ESL/EFL to adults and children in four countries over several years.

I have used this knowledge by working with children K-12 grades in math, social studies, ESOL, reading and study skills. I feel that over the past eight years of teaching I have obtained the experience and necessary understanding to assist students through difficult academic times.

As a mathematics graduate, I have strived to teach and tutor mathematics in such a way that everyone could have a general understanding of it. I have earned a BA in mathematics, which has given me the opportunity to gain an understanding of how to make math an enjoyable subject. Many people that I have spoken to do not like math. I have made it a goal of mine to change that mindset and to provide a different insight to studying math. During the last 10 years I have been able to share my knowledge with others while enlightening others to study math full time.
My teaching style is quite universal in such that I believe in hands-on learning. I love teaching and working with all types of students. I am very patient, polite, and understanding of the needs of students who are trying to understand math. My goal is to provide a service where my teaching style will help them discover ... read more
