I love teaching children and adults alike. I beleive teaching should be tailored to each individual, because we are all different and learn at a different pace. I also beleive that you should make your teaching relatable to the subject if interest of the student.If a student has a passion for mussic try to use that as an avenue for your lessons,once they are engaged in something they are passionate about it would make learning even more fun. I have earned a Master in Management and an Undergraduate degree in Finance, Marketing and International Business. I am also bilingual and fluently speak french. My work experience coupled with my educational background would make me a valuable tutor to any student needing my help.

I have over 20 years of teaching experience both in the USA and abroad. I have taught elementary grades K - 6th and multicultural students as an ESOL certified teacher. My BA degree is in English from San Jose State University, San Jose, California. I have also tutored students and have been especially successful in teaching reading comprehension, writing and test-taking skills. My MA degree is in Educational Guidance and Counseling. My first goal is to establish rapport with my student. I want all of my students to know that I am approachable, friendly and knowledgeable. I have learned that students achieve when they are engaged in the learning process. My goal is to create safe, stimulating and rewarding experiences for the student who in turn learns by actively participating in the learning process. I see myself as a facilitator more so than a "teacher". I know that each child is

I find an interactive, Socratic teaching style in which I encourage the student to discover the answers on their own to understand why something works the way it does is a very effective approach for me rather than just lecturing, particularly for younger learners. I find it equally important for students to understand the why of what they are learning as well as the how and the what. I believe that students' multiple intelligences should be harnessed and that if students don't understand information presented initially, it is up to the teacher to find different ways of presenting the information so that the student can make it his or her own. I have over 11 years of experience providing in home tutoring to individual high school, elementary school, and middle school students as well as adults for test preparation as well as for academic subject preparation. I have also had 6 years of

I have chosen education as a career because I believe that education is perhaps the most important function performed in our culture, or for that matter, any culture. I believe that teachers individually and collectively can not only change the world, but improve it, and in the process find personal and professional renewal. I want to be part of this noble profession, and someday to be counted among those in whom future preservice teachers found inspiration. In my experience as a tutor, I can definitely say that it is one of several enjoyable jobs that a college-graduate such as I can have. In my previous years volunteering as a Peer-Tutor, I certainly did an excellent job helping other students with their subjects especially in grasping the abstract concepts of Mathematics. Out of all the subjects I've tutored in the past, Mathematics seems to be the one that most students struggle with

Because I believe in the success of all students regardless of present levels, my students have had significant success in all areas and have gained positive feelings and confidence in themselves as life-long learners. I love children and want to impart to them a desire to keep striving for the best. It is important to try different methods and strategies to reach the needs of each individual child. Instruction must be differentiated and made enjoyable to tap into students' creativity and interests. All Students Are Learners and Are Special!

I have been working with children of all ages, from diverse backgrounds, and in a variety of environments for many years. I have been a camp counselor, swim instructor, piano teacher, and religious education teacher. I currently have been substitute teaching in grades K-12. My bachelor’s degree in English with a minor in Communication studies in addition to my current graduate work has allowed me a strong command of the English language. I am most confident teaching reading, writing, and other areas of language arts. My vast array of experiences has also allowed me comfort in teaching the basics of mathematics, science, and the arts. Being a tutor allows one to reach out and find the most personal and effective way to connect and instruct a student. My exposure to the many learning styles of students has taught me the importance of first understanding the student's learning style.

My first goal is determine the level the student is currently at with the particular subject and work my way forward from there. I determine exactly what the student doesn't understand and attempt to break it down for them as much as possible until it's clear. My experience includes 2 years as a Youth Counselor for the City of Tallahassee (1999 & 2001). I am also the oldest of 5 children with the age difference ranging from 6-16 years, so I've had the responsibility of assisting my siblings with school work. I currently continue to provide assistance as requested by my parents or siblings.

After college, I taught preschool for a year. I have always enjoyed working with children but this was my first opportunity to teach. I find that children learn better with a hands-on approach. I tried to make sure that everything I taught the children in my class was taught in an interactive, hands-on way. I allowed the children to work together and even teach each other at times. I feel it is most important to provide children with an environment that they feel comfortable and are able to reach their full potential. I also was able to go overseas and teach, which allowed me to use my teaching style in an environment that was new. I found that allowing children to be creative, and providing them with a creative learning environment, is universal in the child's success. Throughout high school and college, I have tutored various ages in a wide array of subjects. I graduated with a bachel
