As a graduate of an elite Independent High School, I strived to be the best at every subject I pursued in college. I started my Bachelors of Music as a Music Education major, but changed to Music Business in my sophomore year. Both of my majors gave me the knowledge skills to understand many different areas of the arts. I also excelled in my English classes, where I learned great skills in grammar, research papers, and sentence structure. Over the last five years I have tutored students in Music and English. I enjoy working with children of all ages. I feel that no two students are alike and it takes a compassionate and focused instructor to figure out the best way that a student will effectively learn. I am a very patient, kind, yet firm teacher, and I believe that gentle constructive criticism is the best way for any student to learn, regardless of their age. It is my personal goal tha

I started out doing nanny work in college. After graduating in 1998, I moved to Detroit, Michigan to pursue a career in language studies. I became the Language Training Director for a language services company. I supervised a teaching staff of 150 instructors who gave language instruction to businessmen and women who were relocating for business purposes. We gave instruction in language and culture, while providing relocation help to families who were settling in the US. In 2002 I taught American Literature and Conversational English classes at Oral Roberts University's University Language Institute. In 2003, I worked as an Aupair and tutor in Switzerland for 1 year. After returning to the states, in 2004 I taught Preschool, 2nd Grade and 3rd Grade for 2 1/2 years. I believe that teaching should be student-directed. Teachers should pique the curiosity of their students, and act as a reso

As a honors graduate, I have always loved sharing knowledge with others. I have worked hard and earned the distinction as an affable and thorough teacher and tutor. Throughout undergrad, I tutored grades 3-6 in Math, Science, and Writing at F.L. Stanton Elementary in Atlanta, GA. Upon graduating, propelled by wanderlust I ended up teaching English to Japanese students, 0-45 years, in Japan for three years. All of my students showed progress and a genuine appreciation for the materials. Having secured a BS in Chemistry my experience with Math and Science vast. Now, in graduate school as a MS BioStatistics candidate, I tutor Chemistry, Biology, and all levels of Math. I never thought about teaching, but as the oldest girl of 15 grandchildren I have been teaching someone something my whole life. I believe in positive reinforcement and repetition. Each person has their own learning style. Yo

I am extremely motivated to teach and learn myself and this attitude is carried out in my classroom. I believe that if I am enthusiastic and have a positive attitude, then my students will, too. As an ESL teacher, I have learned that differentiating instruction to meet the needs of all students is an absolute must. Every child is unique and learns at a different pace or in a different way, and therefore, I find it necessary to change lessons and activities to meet the needs of every individual student I have in my class, because I believe that all children can learn. In May of 2010, I will be graduating from the State University of New York at Oswego with a BS in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). In four years, I have gained valuable experience in working with children of all ages through tutoring programs and coaching. I have also been extremely fortunate to

People have all different manners of learning information, and most people need a lot of visuals and real life experiences, especially if their first language is not English. Teachers should be able to get to know each of their students and differentiate their instruction to help all of their students. Tutoring is a great way for teachers to get to know students better and thus better address their needs with quality instruction. I have taught 5th and 6th grade ESL students for this semester, and I have taught English two summers in Korea at intensive English immersion camps. I have also tutored adult and college level students in English at UT while obtaining my degree and enjoyed it the most. Having quality one on one or small group time is the best for students to acquire the knowledge they need, and have instructors that can focus on their individual needs. Not only did I tutor stude

I have a Master's Degree in Biology and English as a second language with a specialization in teaching. During college, I tutored students in biology and environmental science, and also helped them prepare for their English language exams. In the past two years I have taught anatomy and physiology. I am familiar with medical terminology and kinesiology. I love teaching and working with people. I am very patient, creative and I always strive to meet every student's need. I always make sure the students understand the material before we move on - if they don't I explain it again in a different way and make them do further practice. I like to use lots of examples, real life situations and clues to help the learning process. I like playing games that help with learning. I believe that learning should not be a stressful process, but an enjoyable and exciting journey.

My experience working with children and adults with Communication Disorders/Cognitive Deficits has provided me with an understanding and experience to assist others in many areas. I have an MS in Communication Disorders. This includes learning disabilities that involve language comprehension and expression, and problem solving deficits. I have also worked extensively with children and adults who have vocabulary deficits as a result of learning/language disabilities. My background and training has also equipped me to assist individuals who are not native English speakers in the areas of reading, writing, vocabulary, and accent reduction. I enjoy working with children and adults. My teaching style is tailored to the individual, as individuals learn differently and at various paces. I am very patient, and flexible. I believe that structure is necessary, without sacrificing creativity.

I love teaching, and I have experience working with varied age levels and learning levels. As a private tutor, I have also worked with many students who have varying learning disabilities, and I have used my knowledge to help develop techniques that help them learn too. One of my greatest strengths is my ability to express complex information to diverse groups of people in an understandable way. Everyone thinks a little differently and learns differently too. I practice patience and enthusiasm with my students. I work independently with my students to find out what type of learner they are. I create a friendly rapore with my students and use constructive criticism. Teaching through theory doesn't work with every student, so I often find ways to incorporate my students' interests into their learning. I believe that learning should be fun, so I always try to make my students laugh and en

Something I have always enjoyed while tutoring is the moment that the student 'gets it'. In order to properly prepare the student for their future education, you must show them the importance of the process of learning. The idea of the process builds the student's ability to work independently, thus giving them a valuable life lesson. I believe every student is special and learns in different ways, and I try to adapt quickly to their learning style. I also incorporate a wide variety of methods to keep the student's interest and excitement in the subject. If the student can see how the subjects can relate to their future and everyday life, it will increase their desire to learn. A graduate of Berklee College of Music in Contemporary Writing and Production, I used my AP-level English background to tutor international students at the college in English reading, writing, and speaking.
