More About This Tutor...

I began to work at Regions Bank in New Albany the Summer after my Senior year of high school. While still working for the bank, I attended Ole Miss for a year, then transfered to Northeast for the next year. I returned to Ole Miss to recieve my bachelors degree in Managerial Finance with an emphasis in Investments. I am now employed for a furniture company out of Tupelo, where I am an Accountant. Although I do not have much teaching experience, I am quite knowledgeable with Financials and Accounting Principals. I have turtored a few children in mathmatics, and I also helped other classmates.
Although I have little teaching experience, I love working with all ages of people. I'm sure I would have a different approach to teaching/tutoring because I have not had any education classes or experience. I would offer a more business/economical outlook on mathmatical skills. I really like t ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I began teaching as a college sophomore at MIT. For 9 years, I taught primarily Multivariable Calculus, but also single-variable Calculus, Linear Algebra, and several writing courses. Since graduating, I have been involved in various volunteer tutoring efforts. My minors are in Math, German, and Writing. I happen to be a black female, the first to earn bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees in Mechanical Engineering at MIT. I am happy to work with anyone, but I might be a particularly meaningful match for a minority or female student. In addition to tutoring, I would hope to serve as a "can-do" example for someone who might not have dared to dream big enough.
I believe in the "practice makes perfect" approach, especially when it comes to math, science, and language study. That said, I also believe that practice can be interesting, fun, encouraging and reinforcing. I would hop ... read more

Over the past year, I have tried to extend my ability to share my love and appreciation of English and literature with others. As an English/Communications major, I am very knowledgable in a variety of subjects including grammar, writing composition and reading comprehension. Last year, as President of the Writers Forum, we spent several months tutoring as part of an after school program where we helped children in Baltimore write.
For writing, usually I conduct some exercises. The level of the critique and what to say depends heavily on the age of the student. For grammar, I would either find or create my own practice materials and we could go over whatever is necessary until I've decided that the student is making improvements or the student has succeeded.

I am a senior at the State University at Albany, where I am majoring in History. I am aniticapting graduating in the summer of 2010. I earned my AS degree in Liberal Arts.

I love to teach children and have fun at the same time. I love to incoprate games, i.e. jeopordy, or watch various DVD's on the subject that I am tutoring. I also realaize that not every student leanrs the same, what may work for one may not work for another.

I enjoy watching people's faces light up when they grasp a point. Utilizing everything from movies, games, lecture and discussion, I try to find out where my student can plug into the subject under scrutiny and start there. Whatever age my student may be, we can find common ground for understanding a subject in a novel way that makes the material become a part of the student's experience. Learning is not just cramming facts into a person's head, but finding a way to make those facts flow into the digestive system and nourish the whole individual, making the learning a part of the person's life.
I entered college as a pre-med student and came out a writer, but since my family insisted all writers lived in garrets, I became a teacher. Later I traveled with first a classical choir and then a rock band, put my editing skills to work for a geopolitical organization and lectured on econo ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a graduate from the State University of New York at Albany, I am driven to achieve the highest level of excellence in education especially in the following generations. I have received a BA in Chemistry and Pre-Med. These degrees have enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of science, math, and english. In addition, I have learned extensive health and grammatical skills due to writing research papers and laboratory reports, along with essays in many various areas of study. During the last three years I have tutored students in English, Mathematics, and Science.
The best teaching style in my opinion, explains how to research, plan and write essays, gives students time to practice these skills in class, and ensures students get feedback on how well they have done on each sub-skill. Students learn skills by using them in a realistic, subject-specific context, and in a ... read more

I realize the importance a child’s academic instruction plays in their future. I am well prepared, seeing as I have a B.A in English, to provide my students with a concrete and enticing curriculum. I have witnessed and engaged in remarkable teaching experiences. I have had the opportunity to function in a variety of educational settings, in which I learned various ways to create an energizing and productive learning environment that will promote a genuine interest in English and all of its wondrous offerings. All of my principals, department heads, and other members of the faculty have recognized that I have created constructive changes in students’ academic and overall attitudes and performance.

More About This Tutor...

My teaching style is professional, friendly, and peer to peer. I like to break things down for students and I encourage them to ask a lot of questions. I try my best to gauge how the student learns and teach them 'tricks' based on their learning style for committing what was taught to memory. Lastly, I try to build confidence in my students- from what I've seen, that's the key to success. I believe that people inherently know how to express themselves and have it in them to grasp complex concepts easily, it is just a matter of a little guidance.
My educational and professional experience are both concentrated on writing. More narrowly, analytical writing and legislative reporting. My experience tutoring on writing goes back to when I was part of a volunteer peer program, tutoring English as a second language students to assist them with mastering the English regents. At the col ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a college graduate I found that my skills were better off served outside the classroom and could better be used in a one-on-one situation instead of 15 kids at once. I hold a BS in Communication with concentration on English. I have extensive experience with writing and editing as I have worked for various publications. During the past years I have tutored a number of children helping them to read. In addition I have spent countless hours teaching computers to various ages from 10-60 years of age. I have helped in teaching Microsoft Office applications as well as the internet. Every student I have taught has come home with passing grades, and at least one level higher than they were bringing home on their own.
My goal is to make sure that none of the children I tutor feel inferior to anyone else in their skills. Slow learners require a few tricks along the way such as nmonic ... read more

I love being able to teach someone something new. I love learning, but have always been a visual learner, so whether I'm teaching someone how to read, or simply helping them improve their reading skills, I introduce visual aids. I am patient, easy going and a great listener. When it comes to teaching/tutoring/mentoring, I have always been very hands on. I strive to create an environment where the pupil feels comfortable and he or she is excited to learn.
I graduated Cum Laude from Manhattan College with a double major in Psychology and Communications. In addition to studying for two majors, I was also a Division 1 athlete and held 2 jobs. Seeing as I was very busy with extracirricular activities, I believe that my graduating with honors was truly a testament to how hard I worked. Since college, I have worked in two jobs that have really tested my gramatical, reading, editing ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a mother of 16 yr old twins, I have always been a tutor in reading, english and literature. I got my degree in English/Art/Art Therapy/Literature as a result of my love for the written word and regarding books as our passport to the world around us near and far. I have learned the skills and applied them in research papers, essays and other areas where required in my schooling. I am also proficient in public speaking and presentations via visual aid as well as powerpoint. I have tutored students from 1999 to the present starting with my children and being part of a mentor program in college. I found both rewarding and absolutely love tutoring.
I love tutoring and working with children to young adults. The internet provides a lot of information but the joy of going to the library to discover new worlds, knowledge or just for the fun of it is still a worthwhile venture. I ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Upon graduation I began teaching in NY State. I taught one year at the junior high level with classes in american History and English. I moved to a larger school district and taught History and Economic at the Senior High school levels. I received tenure and taught 4 years leaving the education field to enter business.
After 5 years of teaching, my business career was always related to my education background. I have been a sales manager and trainer. I worked with ITT as an insurance training manager for 2 years.My sales career has been of a consultive, informational style. There is a great reward to seeing someone grasp the idea you are educating them to achieve. I have worked over the years with students on a personal basis, children of friends, relatives to enhance their learning experiences.

Sine high school, I have worked with children in BOCES. However, I started college later in life, after children and marriage. I wanted to provide my children with an education that I couldn't afford since I knew nothing of grants in 1974. I started with my AA and did not stop until I achieved my MS. My education has taught me discipline, research, study habits, and critical thinking skills. I have tutored students K-12; in Language Arts, Reading, Literature, English, Parenting, Nutrition, Careers, and electives for 11 years. Each individual student has taught me something new.
My teaching style is to discovery how each child learns, whether it is visual, audio, movies, written, tactile, CD's, adaptive technology, and re-learning. I want my students to have success and become life-long learners while providing them with the tools that help them reach their potential. Learning ... read more
