In addition to my desire to practice law, I have a passion for the education of children. I believe children learn in many different ways and I am not committed to just one teaching style. As someone who developed later in life in terms of academic achievement, I know the importance of patience and passion in the education of children. I believe it is important to communicate without discouraging children. Learning is a process and cannot be rushed or forced upon anyone. I strive to make a difference in the lives of children and I believe I can achieve such a goal by teaching. As a law school graduate, I am well trained in writing and communication skills. While in law school I was awarded a position on the legal journal of Health Matrix: Journal of Law-Medicine. My duties as a member of the executive board were to manage the staff and tutor the other editors in writing skills as

As a private tutor, I give lessons to students whose ages range from thirteen to adult, and whose level varies from beginner to advanced. I teach mostly conversational, and as we progress, I introduce basic grammar. Those who are already taking French in school or in college and need to come up to speed on their current curriculum can also benefit from my tutoring. I work with the textbook and help with the understanding of the lessons through various exercises. I am a French native and have been living in the Pittsburgh area for 18 years. I have been a French Teacher and private Tutor since 2000. I have been teaching or am currently teaching High School French (Levels 1, 2 and 3), High School Latin (Level 1), and Introduction to Languages.

My teaching style would focus on making sure that all children understand the basics of what they are doing before they can proceed to a more difficult level of study. A strong foundation is the best way to achieve excellence whether studying basic Algebra or Advanced Inorganic Chemistry. I believe in teaching through all different means from lectures, to hands on projects, to outings that are focused on the field being studied. I feel that the best way for a student to learn is to immerse the student with all of the different learning techniques there are. One good role model in a student’s life can really motivate a student and help them succeed in their dreams. This is why I strive to make a difference in student’s lives. I graduated with an AB in Chemistry, from a top college in the country, which has helped me gain a better understanding of mathematics and the physical scien

I am a graduate of the Pennsylvania State University where I earned a Bachelor's degree in Human Development, which is akin to psychology. Throughout my studies, I have gained understanding of the cognitive processes of people throughout the lifespan. I have excellent grammatical skills/writing skills and my former professors have commented that my work is on a PhD level. I have helped students with writing assignments at a local high school. I am qualified to teach English as well as the social sciences, such as psychology, sociology, and history. I believe that each individual has his/her own way of learning new information. I think it is necessary to discover your child's specific needs and apply the proper teaching methods to suit his/her learning style. I have a passion for teaching and I am willing to be patient with your child until the concepts he/she struggles with are gra

I have noticed a couple things in my years tutoring people in math. I have noticed that many people have trouble with the fundamental concepts of fractions, decimals, order of operations, and adding/subtracting positive and negative numbers. If a student does not have these concepts together much of the 'higher level' mathematics can seem a blur and highly confusing. I have also noticed that students like real world or relevant examples when learning a new math concept. I like to find out what my student is into and tailor problems to things that affect their every day life. Practical real world examples can significantly increase a students retainment of concepts. I also make it a point to keep the learning environment positive and upbeat. I received my MA in Statistics from the University of Pittsburgh in December of 2008. Since then I have been giving private lessons in statistics to

I pursued higher education to the Ph.D. level, most of my experience is based in research but I had the great pleasure of working with students privately and in the University environment. As a private tutor I taught Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology to high school students, helping them to succeed in their studies. In the university environment, I was in charge of training undergraduate and graduate students in the required laboratory skills, teaching them also the basic concepts of Biology and Chemistry needed to perform the protocols. I have presented my research in the form of papers and oral presentations to journals and scientific meetings, which has led to the further development of my communicational skills in written and oral form. In my experience tutoring and training students, the most rewarding moments are those in which understanding of a subject becomes a reality

I think it's important to listen to what learners and students have to say. I approach teaching first as a learner; I learn what the student's main concerns are and what goals they have for themselves. Second, I teach and leave room for questions, concerns and confusion. This approach to teaching focuses on the major concerns of the student (or parent)rather than focus on an overarching theme like how to read or how to write. If the student's only concern is how to use a comma, then that will be the focus of the lesson rather than focusing entirely on all grammar. I have earned a bachelor degree in English Writing with a minor in German Language and Literature. While enrolled at the University of Pittsburgh, I also completed a certificate in Public and Professional Writing. I've worked as a writer for national companies, including Orient Watch, Tarte Cosmetics and EcoSMART, as well as a

As a high school German exchange student and subsequent German major, I have more than textbook knowledge of the German language. My fluency comes from real-world interactions as well as attending a German high school. I taught courses at the University of Richmond for students of German wishing to practice their language skills, yet whose competency may not have been to the standard for a traditional literature class. Furthermore, I received an International Baccalaureate Diploma with high marks for my high school subjects (concentrations in Music History and Theory, German Language, English Literature, and European History). The IB program is more rigorous than many college programs, and with this experience, I feel that I would be qualified to tutor any student in high school courses. As a young college graduate, my own school days are not far behind me, and I remember academic pr

While I was in college I volunteered as a Young Life leader and worked with high school children. Right after college I joined Americorps. The program was for environmental education and we worked with all age groups. I have a passion for science and for learning. This is why I want to become a teacher and share my knowledge with others. I am laid back, patient, and a hard worker. I am a hands on type of learner and I understand that not everyone learns the same way. Therefore, I would do my best to understand how someone learns so I can best help them. I have a B.S. in biology from West Virginia Wesleyan College. The college is a liberal arts school and I had to take a variety of course work aside from science classes. While I was in school I spent a summer in Australia with the School for Field Studies studying Tropical Ecology and Tropical Reforestation. I also spent a semester in Bra

I have always loved to learn. In college, I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a BS in Biology. However, I made it a point to minor in Chemistry and Linguistics and to certify in American Sign Language. I have always had the desire to achieve the highest goals I could set for myself. While taking on the classes mentioned above, I learned great organizational skills and drive. I helped students at the University whenever they needed it. I started a tutoring program in my Calculus II class, and tutored students in this topic. I have also put in extensive time at Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh. This has allowed me to tutor and assist ill children with missed homework assignments. Also, through the hospital I have learned to be sensitive to each child and each family. I also learned excellent planning and time distribution by planning many activity days, music sess
