I basically teach according to what the students like or is familiar with (art, sport, etc.) and I utilize what they're good at with the subject matter. For instance, if a student is into baseball, I teach math using scoring method, countries where players are from for social studies, speed of running, throwing, etc. for teaching science, and so on. With the younger students, I oberve them during choice time or free play and document what areas they are attracted to the most, how they interact with each other and their conversations. I use the data to help me develop and strenghten the abilities they exhibit.
I attended Northeastern Illinois University and obtained a B.A. degree in Elementary & Special Education, with honors. My first job, straight out of college was as an Educational Consultant. I trained teacher how to us computers to install educational programs for their s ... read more

My comments on tutoring Speaking : Former video producer/director, helped hundreds of people improve their speaking skills

Easy-going, enthusiastic, like to discuss strategy, have client implement, then discuss results
My entire career has been spent in communications: video, radio, copywriting, PR, marketing... I love to help people learn to use communication effectively, especially when used to market themselves, their businesses, or causes they believe in. Yet, I don't consider myself an "expert" because there is always more to learn!

A Little Bit About Me...

I have raised three children into young adults. Taught Sunday school classes. Been a senior member of an USAF auxillary and have a easy going manner. I believe that by both listening and complimenting children they will grow and learn at an excellent rate.
I am a college graduate who started work on my MBA a number of years ago, but had a life changing experience. I have always loved history and science and feel that any other tutored subjects would also be well received by my students

More About This Tutor...

I began teaching 22 years ago at a middle school and later taught high school when I relocated to the beach. I also tutored at a local community college. The most rewarding aspect of teaching and tutoring is when the lightbulb goes off at the crucial point of understanding in the student's mind. I have a Bachelor of Science in Education and a Masters Degree in Human Resource Management and School Leadership. Furthermore, I have 67 additional education credits pertaining to teaching, tutoring, communication and human resources. I feel it's important to stay abreast of current educational trends, research and developments which ultimately affect the teaching style and learning effectiveness of the individuals involved.
Each student is unique. Therefore, I use a variety of teaching styles, strategies, methods and techniques depending on the individual's needs and abilities. A ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Teaching was never a job for me, but rather a way to practice a passion. I believe that every child possesses the ability to learn and it is the responsibility of educators to cultivate such talent and foster growth. I believe in helping students reach their potential by teaching them to pose and answer questions about the world around them. My classroom was a place where children were excited about learning. I made sure to convey my love of the English language to my students and gave them the keys to unlock the wonderful world of literature. I was serious about producing results and helping my students become better readers. I used benchmarks to track their progress throughout the year, and nearly every student advanced in reading growth.
I started my teaching career as a Teach For America corps member in Atlanta, Georgia, where I taught sixth grade language arts at Crawford Long ... read more

My tutoring style is eclectic so I can reach each student with an unique insight that will help that student understand a concept or solve a problem. Once I get to know how a student thinks, I work with his/her strengths and try to compensate the student's weaknesses by working at his/her level and then bringing the student to a level where he/she needs to be.
I have both practical and conceptual understanding of mathematics as I have tutored kids and taught mathematics at a high school level. In addition, I have certifications in biology, chemistry, physics, and computer science. I like making connections among different subjects and providing practical examples as the situation warrants. I get a lot of satisfaction when students grasp a new concept. It makes my day!

More About This Tutor...

I am a recent master's graduate in the field of Atmospheric Science. In addition I have a Bachelor of Science degree in meteorology with minors in both math and physics. I have had the privilege of working with students in a classroom setting as a substitute teacher the past couple of years. I enjoy helping students succeed by helping them gain confidence in a subject area. I have a passion for mathematics as it is a subject that many students shy away from. I have tutored students in math from Calculus down to Algebra over the course of 6 years.
I have a burden for young people and enjoy the opportunity in helping them succeed. Probably one of the greatest influences in my life was a former tutor who pushed me to be the best that I could possibly be. That is a strategy that I strive for in everyone I have the privilege of tutoring. I demand excellence from my students. I ... read more
