I have been tutoring for about 5 years ranging in ages from elementary school to adults who are trying to further their education. I try my hardest to break things down to the simpliest form to better help students understand. If I have tried absolutely everything and the concept is still not grasped, I will find someone who is more knowledgeable than me and seek their guidance. Then, we will all work together to ensure success!
I went to a Magnet Middle School which taught me accerlated Math and Science. I then went on to take all Honors courses, and some Advanced Placement courses, in High school. I graduated with Honors with an Advanced Diploma. I am now a third year student at Old Dominion University where I am studying Elementary Education. I currently work as a Program Leader at the Children's Learning and Research Center on campus. My all time easiest and favorite subject i ... read more

My comments on tutoring Writing Skills : Coach, Critique, Edit

I am a professional technical writer, published author (www.TheOtherWorlds.net), and produced playwright, with a passion for writing and drama. I have several decades of experience as a writer, professionally and at an amateur level. The primary focus of my career has been in providing solid dependable technical writing and documentation for a number of industries, including: robotics, electronics, video, film, special effects, and government (DoD). Creatively, I write long and shot fiction, have published a novel and had a play produced by the American Southwest Theatre Company. My experience in drama also goes back for several decades. I have directed and performed in dozens of plays, mostly at the community and college level, but some at the semi-professional level. I also have years of experience in the motion picture industry in Hollywood (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm037848 ... read more

Available For Summer Tutoring

I have taught Kindergarten and First grade in York County for 21 years and I love my job. I am qualified to teach Kindergarten through fourth grade but I prefer to work with 2nd grade or younger. I would love to help your child learn new skills over the summer or just retain the knowledge they already have. I am available to start immediately and I have very flexible hours :)

I have loved English since I was in middle school. I went to college with the desire to graduate with a degree in English Education, but realized (after almost three years in this program) that the education program at my school was completely disorganized. I decided to drop education and pursue a degree in solely English with a special interest in literature. I have also starred in two plays that my church put on- one that required only actions and another that had a multitude of lines and musical sections. As for Sign Language, I have an aunt who was born deaf. Because of that, I started learning simple signs before I could talk. I am by no means an interpreter, but I can carry on full conversations and aid in the tutoring of students who want to learn.
I prefer to relate things to the real world. For instance, when teaching anything dealing with Greek Mythology, I like to ... read more

I'm here to help!

I have a relaxed, stress-free teaching style, while staying on task and topic. I make sure the pupils really understand the material by breaking things down to the basics, and reviewing the foundations. After reviewing and application of the concepts, I have my students switch roles and "teach" me the material. I believe if you can explain the material to someone else, you really understand it.
I double-majored in biology in chemistry in undergrad, so the field of science and medicine is my first love and my strength. I have also received a Masters of Public Health Degree in Epidemiology, and have since completed my 2nd year of medical school. I have always had a strong affinity for math and english as well. I have a published thesis paper that was constructed and presented as required for my masters curriculum. I have been tutoring since I was in high school, and have tutored elem ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is upbeat and positive. If I cannot be excited for my subject areas. Why should any student I tutor?
I have over 10 years of experience in the education field with a special love for tutoring Mathematics. My experience is extensive as I ran my own tutoring business for 3 years doing mostly freelance work in college. The unique thing about my experience is that I have tutored ages 8-28 through my many recipients. I have a knack for getting children and adults excited to learn whether it is through motivation outside the subject area, or showing them that they can in fact do this.

In preparation for completing my BS degree in Education I participated in Student Teaching. During my Student Teaching I gained experience in preparing, designing and implementing new and revised Planned Learning Experience that supported the assigned curricula areas in Business Law, Applied Communications (Business English) and Marketing for New York State. I was able to utilize a full range of resources, technology, academic personnel and faculty to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of the Planned Learning Experiences that I presented. During this time, I created and conducted assessment tools based on all targeted outcomes set by New York State.
I enjoy teaching and working with diverse academic, socioeconomic, cultural and ethnic backgrounds of students. I display a high level of integrity while being patient and empathetic. I strive to make a positive difference in ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I had an amazing biology teacher in high school who was upbeat, interactive and made learning, memorable and fun. I try to take this same approach myself to figure out what is important to students and play on their interests and strengths to help them learn. I typically try a couple of different styles, like flash card memorization, word association (sometimes seemingly unrelated but the funnier and more obscure they are, tend to stick in the memory better), picture association, etc. Having effective discussions about subject matters, particularly with difficult topics, can help the student gain a more in depth understanding.
At the undergraduate level, as a high honors student, I took the opportunity to tutor psychology and biology undergraduates. I also received a TA position for Research Methods in psychology. I also volunteered for 2 years mentoring underprivileged Junior H ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love working with all age groups. I understand that everyone has a different style inwhich they learn things. What I try to do is learn everyones learning style and teach in according to what will make the most logical sense to help them learn new subjects. Teaching others is very interesting to me.
As a Citadel graduate I was taught how to be a great leader. I have great organizational skills, analytical skills, and I know how to work with diverse groups. I understand the importance of helping others in the best way possible to help them achieve their personal goals.

Having been devoted to the welfare of children and families and valuing education highly throughout my life, I find tutoring a satisfying occupation. After vounteering my services for many years, I attained formal degrees in education, psychology, and counseling, with very high GPAs. I taught psychology and sociology for several years and have also tutored K-college individually and in groups for many years.
Recognizing that each person has his/her own learning style, I emphasize "application" of material learned. I do this primarily by providing examples of information taught and require my students to do the same. My approach to teaching is to create a friendly environment with positive expectations to enhance the learning experience.

I have been teaching for seventeen years. I have taught students of all levels and ages, from the student who excels at everything and does not need to study to the student who is struggling to read and comprehend. I have been successful throughout my career with excellent test scores for my students. Throughout my teaching experience, I have learned and perfected many different ways to teach concepts to students according to their ability level. I feel that all students have the ability to succeed, just at different levels. During the span of my career, I have taught English,Reading, Phonics, Writing, SAT Prep, Biology, US History, Algebra, and Spanish. I love to see students become proud of themselves.
I love teaching and plan to retire as a teacher after thirty years. I feel all students have potential but need someone or something to bring it out. Most of the time, student ... read more

We do not all learn to speak, read and write languages in the same way. Some of us learn by mostly hearing or saying; some of us learn by mostly seeing and looking; and some of us learn by mostly doing, using touch and moving parts of our bodies or things. I use all three ways to learn when helping others improve their English. I use hearing, seeing and doing. I check what students learn in one way with the other two ways of learning. There is a name for this kind of teaching. It is called the neuro-linguistic approach to teaching English.
For the last seven years, I have taught and tutored English to adults who speak other languages. In the last two years, I have added tutoring students in grades 3-12. While teaching English as a Second Language at a local college, I was a lead lab instructor for two years. Students work with me on pronunciation, reading, writing and grammar. The ... read more
