I am a patient, conscientious and dedicated mentor who is skilled at helping struggling students to become successful and good students to excel. I especially love seeing students who previously found a subject to be daunting gain new confidence and realize they have untapped and unknown abilities in the subject that can lead them to find it enjoyable and achieve their academic goals. I will help nurture an atmosphere conducive to effective study and help you with your organizational skills if needed, so that your time on your own will be more productive. As a tutor I care about your progress and will work hard to help you with whatever you need.

Teaching for me is a form of life. The students I taught were 16 to 20 years old, and adults. My aim has always been to help my students to become professional, independent and self-conscious persons supporting tolerance and democratic society. Furthermore I aim to teach students organizational skills and methods to learn. Methods of teaching vary according to the subjects and classes. I am cleared by Palm Beach County Schools to tutor their students through the No Child Left Behind program.
After completing my studies of Economics I taught Statistics, Business, National Economics, and social sciences as an adjunct professor in Berlin colleges: Freie Universität Berlin and Fachhochschule für Wirtschaft Berlin. For four years I was employed in a private company as an Import-Export Manager. The last 26 years I taught Economics, Business, Math, German, Social Studies, Computing, and m ... read more

My style of teaching consists of two parts: first, to understand and visualize the concept and the problem; and second, doing the mechanics of problem solving. I prefer to work with the basic equations rather than memorizing the variations of the formula. I work with examples.
I work as a civil engineer and geophysicist. I have earned two bachelor degrees, BS in Physics and BS in International Business which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math and science. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers and laboratory reports, along with essays in many various areas of study. During my college years I was an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant serving as assistant to a class in physics courses; I have also tutored adults and teenagers in physics, mathematics, and sciences in private classes.

I can help your child be successful. I take time to listen and understand each student first. Determining what kind of trouble they are having and what type of personality they have helps me make a decision about how to move forward. I establish a rapport with each student so they understand that I know what it’s like to have difficulty and I’m there to help them. Most kids have trouble concentrating, I like to keep them focused while still having fun. I ask questions to encourage students to talk. I use creative approaches, fun memory techniques and different ways to think about the subject so they have tools they can use. I love working with kids and enjoy the challenge of helping them be successful.

I taught fifth grade for four and a half years, and I student taught fifth grade for one additional semester. Soon I will receive my license to teach high school English, and I plan to pursue a career teaching high school English.
My teaching style is compassionate and geared toward each individual student's learning needs. I strive to create learning situations that address the specific needs of each learner. This involves awareness of learning styles, which vary from student to student. My teaching style is also very patient and cognizant of each learner's struggles and obstacles. I will break down difficult tasks into simpler ones in order to make them easier to understand. In all of my endeavors, I do my best to lead by example.

My style is to be a facilitator to the student. I don't believe so much in teaching as in learning. In a cooperative fashion, I ask leading questions to get students to think in the right direction and then discover the answers themselves. I have found that this approach facilitates the student's self-confidence and motivates him or her to learn.
While in High School, I tutored Junior High School and High School students in Mathematics. As an adjunct lecturer, I taught Introductory courses in Probability and Statistics at several Universities. I also taught Chassidic Philosophy at the Rabbinic College of America, and recently I have been a substitute teacher at the Rohr Bais Chaya Academy for Girls, teaching Judaic Studies, Mathematics, Chemistry, Economics, and History.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that the best tutors are those who do not merely strive to dispense knowledge, but, rather, work to establish a dialogue with their students. Once this dialogue is established, the student becomes an active participant in the learning process; the student no longer receives knowledge passively, but begins instead to ask incisive questions that spur the learning process and inspire self confidence. The best students are those who know how to ask the right questions, and through constant encouragement and by cultivating expansive discussions, I enable my pupils to develop as independent and thoughtful learners.
