I always liked playing up my quirky personality. My favorite teachers and professors were the goofy ones, the ones who can relate to the students' fun side. These teachers also challenged me the most, and I ended up getting so much more out of the course. I figure that, if a student likes the teacher, he or she will pay more attention and have a deeper respect for the teacher. The teacher then can use this trust to push the student a little more, intellectually. I find that is what works best for me. I don't any paid, professional tutoring experience. However, I have volunteered my services to family members and friends. During my sophomore year, I took Organic Chemistry and excelled. However, my friends were struggling. They hated me a bit for how easy it came to me. I decided to tutor them and help them with homework assignments and studying. They ended up doing very well on the exams

My teaching style is one in which I strive to engage students in the subject by both instructing and challenging them to think on their own. I also strive to accomplish this goal in such a manner that the student experiences the fun that is a part of learning, but one that also emphasizes the importance of the learning process as well. In all of my tutoring and teaching experiences, I communicate how critical good study habits are: self-discipline; finding a quiet place to study; punctuality; attention to detail; following the rules; etc. As a person who holds both a BA and MA in English, each with concentrations in writing (creative and technical, respectively), I am qualified to, and have for several years, tutored English language studies skills, including composition, grammar, punctuation, and reading comprehesion, to students from the third grade through college. I have also taught

I have a passion to teach and enjoy children. I understand that all children learn using various learning styles. In an effort to help a child, I must gain insight on the child’s challenge to learning, then cerate real world relevancy to help grasp concepts. I believe all students are able to utilize and discover their full potential to learn if given the appropriate environment and caring instructor. In the field of education, I have over 3 formal years of teaching experience as well as mentoring and one on one teaching basic computer skills in the corporate setting. I hold a Masters in Instructional Technology, 18 graduate hours in Curriculum and Instruction and a Texas teacher certification in Business grades 6-12. During classroom instruction, I have mentored in various subjects including Accounting, English, Algebra, and Reading. From my strong educational background, I have gaine

Learning how to read critically and write clearly tends to improve academic performance across the board; students with strong reading and writing skills can absorb and communicate information effectively, even when they are unfamiliar with the material. Mastering these basic skills is as important for college and graduate students as for elementary and high school students. I can help you expand your vocabulary, polish your writing skills, and offer strategies for fast and effective reading comprehension, especially in preparation for the verbal sections of standardized tests. Finally, I am still a student myself, so I can sympathize with a heavy workload, and offer strategies for getting assignments finished on time. I am a graduate student in the History Department at UT-Austin, and I have a BA in Philosophy from Brown University. Having been a teaching assistant at the college level

I graduated in 2004 from the University of Oklahoma with my Bachelors in Business Administration. I regularly helped my fellow students survive the academic rigors of Business School. In 2009 I graduated from Texas Christian University with my Masters of Divinity. This degree was heavy in reading and writing. I have also worked for the last six years with teenagers, and as a result I have a great passion for working with them. Because of my experience, education, and background I can effectively tutor students in English, History, Business, Management, Religious classes, and Leadership classes. I would be honored to work with your student. I believe in helping the students discover their own answers. Through patient discussion and problem solving the students will better understand the subject matter. It is important to take the time and listen to their problems so as to best und

I have worked with adults. I prefer a one on one direct instruction and mentoring, keeping everything simple and fun. I am not sure how well I would be with children; I have none of my own and have not spent much time with my nephews and nieces. I have worked with a few of my friends children, helping them understand algebra, showing them how simple it really is and how it can be fun. As a engineer I have been training operators in everything form SPC to troubleshooting for 30 years. I am a volunteer tutor for Adult ESL & GED for the Literacy Council of Williamson County since June 2009.

I teach students from where they are! Sometimes there are gaps and holes in past learning that can be filled in before the student can soar. I am very personable, encouraging and understand how intimidating the blank page or the prospects of taking a standardized test can be. I have over 25 years of experience as a high school and college English instructor. I have a bachelor degree in English education and a masters in liberal arts with 18 graduate hours in English. I began and operated my own private, fully accredited high school, test prep and tutoring companies.

While pursuing my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology, I volunteered my time at the Boys and Girls Club of America and tutored students of all ages in reading, math, science, and social studies. I am currently completing an alternative certification program for Texas teacher certification, and I am highly qualified to teach early childhood to sixth grade. Every child can learn, it just takes a good teacher to help make that happen. A teacher must assess each student for their learning style, ability, and readiness. I want to get to know my students so that I can better understand what motivates them to succeed and develop positive relationships. I care about all students and want to make a difference.
