Not only do I love to teach and help students learn, I also enjoy helping students develop an appreciation for learning in general. The most gratifying experience while teaching is the look on a student's face, after hours of confusion, after they reach an understanding of the concept. The environment that I believe works the best is one that allows the student to have fun while learning; which creates a more positive environment for future learning. I remember my experiences with teachers that not only instructed lessons, but also brought fun and enjoyment to the experience. I try to follow in their footsteps, and lead other students to a similar appreciation.
During the completion of my Bachelor's degree in Psychology I had the opportunity to work with the Maricopa College District, as well as the No Child Left Behind Program. While working with the Maricopa College District I as ... read more

I have taught in three different states: Massachusetts, Connecticut and Colorado. The levels have been 3rd grade through 12th. Each state and each class added to my comprehension of the variety of needs and learning abilities of each student. Thus, allowing me to use a variety of ways to instruct and have the students not only learn but completely understand what is being taught.
Learning is a lifelong enjoyable journey. I diligently work to make learning fun and interesting. A sense of humor, nurturing, hands-on experiences and my strong knowledge base is used to encourage and support my student(s) into developing his/her (their) positive self esteem and working up to their academic potential.

More About This Tutor...

In 1976 I left the blue-collar world and returned to college, strongly motivated to learn. In 1980 I acquired a BA in Geography (3.81 gpa in my major, 3.53 overall), with a minor degree in Environmental Geology (3.6 gpa). During my last three years of undergraduate study I was the departmental tutor in Physical, Cultural and Economic Geography. Awarded a teaching assistantship at the University of Maryland Graduate School (College Park) in 1980, I taught undergraduate courses in Geography for two years. In 1990 I was a substitute teacher (grades 7-9) for the NYC Board of Education. For the last ten years I have successfully worked with students on a variety of undergraduate and graduate-level projects in many subjects, including Political Science, Psychology, and Education. I am confident that with my background I will be able to successfully tutor students in many subjects, including ba ... read more

It seems I have always been involved in education, whether through planning/implementing lesson plans, creating assessments or one-on-one work with a student. I have experience in all areas of education with all ranges of students and have learned from each one of them. All lesson plans and standards are adaptable no matter the need. I have created unique units (such as "Language of the Week") and worked with birth through age 22.
Everyone has always told me that I was born to be a teacher, that I have an innate gift to decipher what a student needs and to promote success and accomplish goals. I am patient, considerate and flexible. Learning occurs through teachable moments every day, and it is how we respond to these moments that determines our future. Student needs and learning styles vary and educational structure should be adapted to the individual needs of the student. I ... read more

Although I have a well-rounded education, most of my knowledge and work experience is in mathematics (algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus plus the related fields of accounting, computers, and engineering). My college education at Purdue University was interrupted due to financial reasons, but I returned to Lake-Sumter Community College at night while working full time and earned an AA degree. I know how important education is! I believe I am a natural teacher when it comes to mathematics and related fields - I helped my fellow students in high school during study halls, tutored through the National Honor Society, was my son’s private tutor, and assist my co-workers with their accounting and computer skills.
I am fascinated with the concept that the more senses you utilize in teaching the better the child learns and retains what was taught. Some children respond to v ... read more

There is not one teaching style that works for everyone. Making the subjects fun and exciting is a great way to get the students engaged. Everyone has different ways of learning and finding that niche will enable that student to be confident when it comes to learning anything. A student's outlook dictates how they relate to a certain subject. Breaking the mindset that it is too difficult or overwhelming are all mental. Breaking through those barriers will enable students to excell. I will help to facilitate those tools to overcome those obstacles.
As a young college graduate, I am still in the mind set of studying. My main focus is in administration and training for health systems. Out of my many classes and interests in education I excelled at undergraduate seminars which is taking a block of time and teaching a specific subject to my peers. My bachelor's degree has strong focus o ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have developed a style all my own. I lead my students by letting them find answers for themselves. I also believe that students will achieve higher test scores with my techniques. I have found that teaching HOW to take tests is as important as subject matter. I bring a great deal of experienc to this program. I taught in quite a few different learning environments. I taught rural children. I taught in the "inner city". I taught privileged and underpriveleged children. I have coached high school baseball as well as Red Cross Water Safety Programs. I also bring with me a broad variety of non-educational experience.
My teaching style is one of discovery. Often I will talk about one thing and students will latch onto something in the discussion and steer the lesson in another direction. What they don't realise is that is exactly what I wanted them to do. Now we ar ... read more

I have a MA in Psychology from Concordia University. My BS in Human Development & Family Studies with a minor in Psychology is from Penn State University. I am currently taking Medical Coding and Billing classes on-line. I have over 15 years experience working with children in all settings (mental health, teaching, tutoring, volunteering etc.).
It truly does take a village to raise a child as the saying goes. I have been able to make many positive differences in many childrens lives by tutoring, volulnteering and working with them. I am able to teach in a variety of ways, which as most people know, everyone learns differently. Some people are visual learners, meaning they learn better through the written word. While others are auditory (listening) or kinesthetic (learn by doing). I believe that I can provide the best education possible by teaching in a variety of ways while ma ... read more

When I begin tutoring a new student, my first objective is for us to get to know each other. The student will not be able to receive very much from me until he/she is comfortable with me. Once they feel that I care, they open up and the learning really begins! When I really get a feel for the personality and whatever particular challenges are unique for this person in this class, I am able to determine the best way to communicate the subject and improve the skills. I like to think outside the box to find the best way for that student to have that "got it" moment!
Literally all my life I have been asked by students, parents and teachers to help students who were having trouble. I get tremendous fulfillment from watching someone who has been frustrated finally "get it." In addition to teaching music lessons, tutoring all subjects, and homeschooling my own two children, I have worked ... read more

As a college graduate, I am very passionate and motivated to achieveing a higher level of education. I have earned a BA in sociolgy and plan to go back to school to obtain my master's in medical social work and possibly a PHD, also in medical social work. Sociology has taught me many ways to approach various situations and extensive writing, research, and grammatical skills. All which are due to writing research papers and participating in a variety of different research studies. In high school and for the past year, I have tutored students and enabled them to excel in reading, writing, and Spanish.
I love teaching and helping all children. I believe that each child is different and needs different methods to help them better understand the material set before them. No one child can learn the same exact way as another, which is why I work at the pace of your child and at a l ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been an educator since 1974, teaching from grade 7 through the college undergraduate level. At the high school level, I taught English and government. During my college career, I was a faculty member in the Department of Kinesiology. Additionally, I ran the athletic study halls which involved tutorial work in numerous subjects. As a professional writer, I am skilled in all aspects of the English language.
I believe a successful learning environment is composed of equal parts hard work and fun. Success breeds success, so my style involves building expertise through positive reinforcement as the student achieves progressively from the simple to the more complex. Throughout this process, I strive to connect what is being learned to the real world in order to show the student the value of what is being learned.

My teaching style varies depending on who I am teaching and what I am teaching. The consistent skills I use in teaching are getting people to develop and use different skills, particularly learning material and being able to apply it to life, ensuring people, and learning analytical (problem solving) skills. My goals include not only teaching material and skills that will help students, but truly making a profound difference in their lives.
As an undergraduate, I worked as a volunteer tutor in the Robles Park/Seminole Heights area for two years. I tutored kids in math, science, English, and social sciences. I also tought sunday school in my church where I was involved in designing the curriculum and planning lessons. I am also an experienced substitute teacher. I've been recently certified to teach social science's in grades 6-12 by the Florida Department of Education.

I have earned a BS (B.Sc. in Canada) in Engineering, which gave me significant insights into Math and the Physical Sciences. Between 1984 and 1989, I had significant tutoring experience in Edmonton, Alberta and Calgary, Alberta in Physics, Mathematics (all levels up to 12th grade), chemistry and French. I developed numerous tests and study aids, and was often called upon for numerous assignments, especially when others in the organization did not perform well. I passed a four part, three hour exam in French, given by the Government of Quebec, to become a Professional Engineer in Quebec. I have also been heavily involved with the Engineer In Residence program in Canada (province of Ontario), providing engineering, science and technology help, and guidance to students between 4th and 8th grades.

I have worked with children for most of my life. For 5 years, I was the owner/operator of a NY State Licensed Family Day Care Home. For more than 15 yrs., I worked in the field of health education in Buffalo, NY. As Youth Director for my church I presented numerous workshops at church events and conferences for children of all ages. My 23 year old son has learning disabilities. We were told that it unlikely he'd progress any further than the 8th grade. That predication was unacceptable to me. My son has his A.S. degree. I have a Bachelors Degree in Management, an Associates degree, in Liberal Arts, and I am a NY State Licensed Practical Nurse.
I truly love to see the expression on a child's face when he or she learns something new! I understand that there are multiple ways to learn things, so I am that person who uses hands on activities, music, games, rhymes, cheers etc. ... read more
