Math and Microsoft Office Tutoring for Adult Learners

My style is based on incorporating everyday experiences to make the lessons come to life in the mind of the student. As adult learners, in particular, we look to our life experiences to inform our learning. I work with individuals and small groups to help them to achieve understanding.
I look forward to using my experience working with adults (college students, new employees, clients, professionals) to help each student to progress academically. As a professional facilitator, I am skilled at bringing students to an understanding of the material. Training new employees has provided me with the skills to help adults get oriented to new material and information.

More About This Tutor...

First we get to know each other. Often I can create examples to illustrate problems based on the student's interests and experience. If you had any trouble on a recent test or homework assignment, we can begin by reviewing any problems you might have had on those. I will show you why the correct answers are right, and why the wrong answers are wrong. I am an excellent listener, and I always find a way to make the lessons fun.

My comments on tutoring GED : I have taught students in alternative schools basic educational skills needed to either graduate from high school or earn a GED.

I have taught for many years in all levels of secondary school, alternative schools, and tutoring centers.I eat, sleep, and drink tutoring as I tutor every day during the school year and do lots of research to help my kids in whatever academic subject is causing them difficulty. I began my teaching career for the first five years as a high school English teacher and taught regular college prep English courses.The next five years I taught English at the middle school level.Next, I got married and resigned from teaching when our first child was born. For the next twenty!!years, I raised four children and tutored kids sporadically. After all the kids had entered school, I began substituting in our school district and substituted everyday in the high schools and middle schools. During some of the summers, I taught secondary English for the district. In 2009, I left the school distri ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love working with all children. I believe that every child has the potential to learn and I try very hard to find out what works for the individual learner. I am patient, easy-going, but I expect my students to set goals and put forth the effort required to meet them. I tend to take a constructivist approach to learning and like to draw on my students prior knowledge and experiences as well as their interests. I believe that I can make a difference in a child's life and I enjoy helping children establish a love for learning.
I am currently enrolled in a Post-Baccalaureate Teaching Certification program at Kutztown University for Secondary Education English and the Masters of Education program for Curriculum and Instruction. I have a 4.0 GPA in my Graduate program and have volunteered in K-5 elementary classrooms over the past three years. I am experienced in writing research pape ... read more

It's imperative to listen and understand a students challenges. Reviewing their previous work and giving a current test is a good indicator of the situation. I believe in practice and examples as the clearest path to success. I don't hand deliver answers and I make the process towards answers engaging. I make sure the time and place are conducive to active and non-distractive learning. I relay the importance and relevance of the material. I recap previous lessons and try to integrate them into current assignments. I always value and respect people and expect the same of my students.
I have trained students in a laboratory, restaurant and in the home. I graduated from college with honors and have succeeded in statistics, algebra 2, calculus 1, biology 1, chemistry 1, English literature, professional writing, civics, sketching/painting and classical guitar

A Little Bit About Me...

As a practiced 7 year High School Math Teacher, I have experienced students continue to struggle in math. Therefore, I developed a step-by-step approach to tutoring in which the student becomes an organized, motivated individual with enhanced study skills. In addition, I am especially knowledgeable in the education field and use several styles of instruction based upon the students’ unique needs. I have studied such styles from my education at Penn State and Temple Universities. I have provided professional development for staff about curriculum and instruction in the area. As I continue my own education, I continue to take pleasure in tutoring and include techniques to make the experience enjoyable and relaxed.
Since I was a high school student, I always loved math and helping others understand the material. It was then that I realized that I wanted to teach math the way my f ... read more

I tend to employ a quiet but direct approach to learning. Q and A sessions begin each session. We review the homework and past experiences of the student. I encourage students to write down their concerns and mark the areas of confusion at the time these arise. That way the students don't forget to bring them to my attention. I like to break down large projects into smaller components. The success of the student is the primary goal. A feeling of accomplishment is a close second. I back step and reteach as necessary. Praise is given often. I enjoy the teaching experience and interaction with each student.
My background experience includes classroom teaching, tutoring, substitute teaching,ESL,Title I,and GED training. My classroom experiences included Pre-K to College students. It also included training nursing staff. In Pennsylvania, I hold undergrad degrees which focus mainly on m ... read more

I hold a bachelor degree in Elementary Education from Towson University where I interned for two years in both urban and suburban settings. During my college years, I was a biology and history tutor. After graduation, I taught mathematics to children at risk of failing. Currently, I teach reduction reading and mathematics in an inclusive setting.
I believe it is important to find every child's unique learning style and use that tho help them reach their potential. I am patient and willing to approach a subject from multiple angles to ensure success. My college was a constructivist school and I have included this style into my teaching. Discovery learning helps a child understand why skills are important. My goal is to help my students reach their full potential.

I am a passionate and enthusiastic teacher and, as my references will testify, have been honored by very fine assessments by my students and teaching colleagues. I have a reputation as a highly skilled teacher and a very patient, compassionate person. I enjoy working with adults or children of every age, background, and skill level. I have had great success working with students who are just learning English or have poor reading/writing skills, students of average ability, and students in honors or advanced courses.

A Little Bit About Me...

As an educator in math and science, subjects viewed by many students as “hard” or “boring,” I strongly believe that these fields need not be viewed this way. Teachers who have a strong background in math and science, such as myself, can more easily relate class work to everyday life and career prospects, making the subject more relevant and interesting. I believe that when teaching any subject, one must start with a clear set of objectives and goals which are to be realized by the end of the teaching session. It is the responsibility of the educator to modify his or her lesson plans to best meet the needs of the student. At the same time, the lesson must not just provide the information needed, but allow the student to immerse themselves in the subject matter and strive beyond basic understanding.

My work as a special education teacher requires an ability to teach students having a wide range of exceptionalities. I am dedicated to maintain high expectations for each student,and I understand each student’s education program needs to be individualized in order to meet each students goals. I strive to develop a trusting relationship and work to improve a student’s self image through consistent positive feedback. As a special education tutor, I need to be persistent, patient, organized and confident in order for my students to achieve success.
I have been teaching and counseling special education students for 10 years. While earning my teaching degree, I was employed for 3 years as a paraprofessional and therapeutic staff support specialist. The students I tutored and counseled ranged in age from 9 to 21 years old. For the past 7 years I have been employed part time at an privat ... read more
