Here to Help Your Student Succeed

It definitely is important to combine styles. I use direct instruction, as well as guided instruction, and groupwork. It is also important to get to know your students and their specific learning styles. It is helpful to tap into their multiple intelligences and to present information in multiple ways.
Hello, all. My name is Stacie. I have over 10 years of experience in Education. I started my career at Sylvan Learning Center. I began as a Program Manager, but also have experience as the Director of Education. My job duties included giving students Diagnostic Assessments, updating each student notebook, tutoring math, reading and writing in the evenings, attending ongoing trainings, contributing to teacher trainings, and meeting with both parents and teachers at schools.

Experienced tutor, 4.00 B.A. and HS GPA, Kent State Grad

Everybody learns differently, and I vary my teaching style to meet the individual learning needs of the person whom I am tutoring. One major constant of my teaching style, though, is that I heavily emphasize repetition in one manner or another.
Having assisted with homeschooling my brother for the last five years, I have extensive experience in tutoring. I have provided tutoring services in a wide variety of high school level classes ranging from English to mathematics to science. Moreover, I have provided tutoring services to university students in college level algebra, writing, and speech courses.

I have a BS in business and can tutor in any business related fields. In addition, my original college major was physics. I can and have taught physics, math, (up to differential equations) and physical sciences. I have also been an ameteur astronomer for 40 years and can teach courses in this dicipline. I am currently employed as an airline pilot and have earned all teaching certificates from the FAA.
My approach to teaching is more of a "why" approach. It is more important for students to know why something is or works rather than just how. This approach works well for middle and high school students. It allows students not only to understand the ideas taught but to apply them to other areas as well. I also like to use visual aids as well as conversation. I have found that many of us vary widely in learning styles. Some are visual learners, others are audio learners, and sti ... read more

As a biochemistry graduate I have high levels of experience within both disciplines of chemistry and biology. I have participated in graduate research at The Ohio State University as an analytical chemistry intern and have experience with graduate coursework and workload. As well, I have 2 years of experience as a teaching assistant, at both the undergraduate and graduate level, which has sharpened my skills as an instructor.
In my opinion, the optimal style of teaching is created specifically to accentuate a students strengths, while properly developing areas of weakness. My teaching style is very adaptable to all students and their various styles of learning. Most importantly, I feel with determination and a comfortable learning environment, all students can succeed in various academic disciplines.

A Little Bit About Me...

When working with children of all ages I believe instruction should be non intimidating, exciting and rewarding! That often means using non traditional methods and materials for learning. I will create lessons based on the child's needs, ability, and interest. It is important to incorporate the educational requirements and teach the child ways of coping with the many demands of the classroom. I pride myself in creating a comfortable atmosphere where the child builds self confidence and feels the power of success.
I have a bachelor's degree in Elementary and Early Childhood Education, but my experience has reached beyond that to help children with behavioral and mental health issues. I love working with individuals and meeting their individual needs. My job experience includes teaching Pre-Kindergarten, substitute teaching in public schools, working as a Wrap Around Counse ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Teaching is my passion. I strongly believe that every moment is a teaching moment, whether or not it is intended to be. I feel that my job as a tutor and as a teacher is to bring out the knowledge within. I understand that every learner is different and for this reason I begin with an assessment of each student. I then try to use their learning habits as a start for future lessons. I believe in learning through experience as opposed to memorization and so every opportunity I try to create a hands-on environment. I also am intentional in personalizing lessons so that they make sense and are fun to the learner. I also stress retention of information through constant review and skill-building. I am a very patient, encouraging, and enthusiastic tutor.

Through my teaching experiences I have developed a "never say die" teaching style. I am willing to try as many methods as it takes in order to help the student achieve academic success. I am very positive, encouraging, and patient when working with children. My teaching style also incorporates mostly hands on activities because I believe that when students are physically engaged in their learning they achieve a higher level of success. I am also a firm believer in the idea that all students are able to meet their potential when given the right tools to get them there. I believe that my teaching style reflects this idea because while teaching I put forth all of my effort to help the children gain success.
I am a graduate from the Marshall University School of Education. I earned a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education which has enabled me to learn a lot about Elementary curricul ... read more

I graduated from Slippery Rock University with a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and a minor in Special Education. Throughout college, I was involved in numerous activities to better my understanding of teaching. I currently work as an AmeriCorps tutor at a local school district. I work with Kindergarten through sixth grade. I have tutored math, reading, science, and social studies. I have over two years of experience. I have created before and after school tutoring workshops for standardized test prep. I try to teach my students test taking strategies that can be used for any test they may take as well as prepare them for their future.
I have learned that every student has different needs and abilities; therefore, they need different learning avenues. My job as a teacher is to help each child find his/her way of learning, so that he/she may be successful in lifelo ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

In order to reach all students, a teacher must use a variety of teaching techniques to meet the various learning styles of the students and must therefore be both flexible and approachable. Teachers should work more as an aid or guide that facilitate the learning process, rather than as omnipotent instructors who attempt to force knowledge into the minds of their students. Information should not just be passed down as if it is the last and all-knowing word. Instead, the classroom must be student-centered with a high degree of interaction between the students and between the teacher and student.
My experience in tutoring, substitute teaching, and being an elementary classroom teacher for over one year, my teaching experiences have helped me to instruct students in their learning endeavors. Also, through my love for writing and working on a book along with having an appetite for read ... read more
