Diverse background

Each individual has a distinct learning style which must be recognized in order to promote and facilitate better learning and achievement, it is essential that a teaching style in the format of tutoring match the students learning style.
Have experience in all subjects listed as I have completed these courses myself; as a communications major I've worked in public relations and media though I have extensive freelance writing experience. Prior career experience includes non profit and healthcare related management as well as other positions which I believe have been important in obtaining the abilities needed to communicate successfully in many ways; this will directly assist me in tutoring though this is a new area for me outside of my home.

I have been tutoring for many years both privately and for Title I schools. I have tutored k-12, as well as college students in most subjects. I love the arts, writing, and science. I have a passion for getting students interested in learning, getting creative, and learning art as early as possible. The same method applies to math and science, where I try to get students to see their subjects in different ways and apply the learning to what they love most or at least can relate to better.
I am patient and creative when it comes to teaching and visually showing my students different ways to apply what they learn.

A Little Bit About Me...

During high school I tutored at an elementary school during two summers for over 300 hours. From January-April 2013 I tutored the AVID program for 17.5 hours a week for all grade levels. From these experiences, I have learned how to encourage and instruct a variety of personalities and skill levels.
I would describe my teaching style as "facilitator" considering the fact that I am able to come up with questions that lead the students to finding the correct process and answers on their own.

With a psychology background and as a behavioral-modification counselor, I believing in applying operant conditioning to set and reach goals. It is NOT corporal punishment. Rather, it's a system of rewards that are age-appropriate and motivational to help the learner achieve the desire result at a reasonable pace, which will get rid of the fear and overwhelming feelings of learning. This opens up a two-way street of communication and expectations. I also believe in personal responsibility, because ultimately, it is the learner who will retain and utilize the skills and knowledge he or she picks up.
I received my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Penn State in 2007. Since then, I spent the next two years as a child and adolescent counselor. I taught clients in a group setting about social and interpersonal skills, as well as aiding teachers in various school subjects. In high s ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My approach to tutoring is one of patience, practice and fun. I believe in staying on topic but also be available to detour to relevant topics that may broaden the application of the subject being studied. Through the use of computers, research and practical examples, my students are given different approaches to enhance their study skills. For me, learning any new subject begins with learning its language. For example, in math and science, vocabulary and usage are keys to understanding processes basic to any application. Finally, I welcome the opportunity to explore you or your child's talents, helping to identify and adapt a personal style of learning to ensure educational success. )

During my experience with teaching, I found that different students need different approaches to learning. I believe that it is important to learn a student's best learning style and use that approach to teach them. In a classroom setting, it is important to have lessons centered on visual, auditory, and hands on activities so that students and find and excel in the different learning styles.

I'm currently attending American Military University, with less than a year to graduate with a bachelor degree in Public Health, which allows me to have a better understanding in health science related subjects. I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers. In addition I have experience in teaching, coaching and mentoring soldiers in the United States Army as a squad leader.
Each child learns in different ways, and as a Tudor/teacher it is my responsibility to discover the method of teaching that matches a child’s way of learning. I am patient, understanding and provide a constructive approach to learning. All children have the potential of learning; some simply require a different method and approach to grasp the information and it is my duty to provide such approach.

I understand the struggle to learn an unfamiliar subject because your background and education did not prepare you for the course. As a tutor I had to deal with the frustrations of young students who hated school just because they could not understand the homework and class work given to them. So, it is important to give them small challenges to enlist a winning attitude. Then it is very important that you teach them certain steps that will help them find answers in a constant way. It is important for students to view the bigger picture or idea; however, it is more important to know how to break things down to arrive to the main point

Although I have only five years of experience, I have a diverse background of experience in other areas. I served eight years in the Marines, and six years in law enforcement. I enjoy working with others. My part-time job is working at Disney's Magic Kingdom where I answer guest's questions and also interact with children by playing games before the parades.
I use textbooks as a guide and try to make the lesson more personal by associating the theme of the lesson to the student's experiences. I believe that all students are capable of achievement, especially when they know that the teacher is sincere and cares about their future.
