I am a very energetic and enthusiastic person, so working with kids was always what I wanted to do. I love the relationships that develop and how the relationships affect the student performance. I am a very hands on, real life learner myself so I tend to do that with my students. Overall, I want to make kids excited to take ownership over their learning. When they feel like it is their own, they invest more in to it, making every thing they do more successful. I graduated from an accredited Education College in Holland. Michigan. Hope College was a four year Liberal Arts college that required me to have 5 field experiences throughout my semesters in a variety of areas, as well as a full semester of student teaching. During this experience I worked in Primary, Upper Elementary, Middle School, ESL, and Special Education classrooms. I student taught in a 6th grade Language Arts classroom.

I have a bachelor's degree in physics, chemistry, and mathematics, and a master's degree in physics from the topmost research institution of my country. I also have five years of research experience post-MS. This has given me a deep understanding of not only science and math that I studied as part of my curriculum, but also of interdisciplinary areas like biophysics. English being part of the curriculum right from kindergarten, I am very comfortable in communicating in that language. This along with extensive exposure to the English media has given me a feel for the language which is at par with a native speaker of English. All these have enabled me to successfully tutor innumerable students for the past eleven years in the fields of science and math. More than anything else teaching is something that I did as a hobby and a challenge. Having been a tutor since my undergrad days, I

I earned a B.S. in Mathematics with an emphasis on logical thinking. The rigorous course work associated with an undergraduate degree in Mathematics has allowed me to navigate through life's decision-making tree with great accuracy. After completing 7 years in the financial services industry, I turned to continued learning in technology at different universities. During that period I had the opportunity to gain approximately 2 years experience as a substitute teacher and tutor. Recently, I have focused on helping and tutoring high school athletes who are showing promise in possibly going to college on scholarship. A student matriculating through the public education system has a much higher hurdle to cross than I did 20 years ago. The financial burden associated with gaining a higher education and the increased academic challenge can sometime require added time and attention. In tutoring

I am a hands on teacher/tutor. I believe in active learning and student participation. I believe all children can learn, and that we all have different learning styles. I enjoy tapping into a specific child's learning style, and teaching him/her strategies to support that learning style. I am flexible and patient, and my years of experience give me the ability to understand each individual student's needs, and align my tutoring to accommodate those needs. I have been a teacher or tutor for over fifteen years. I have taught all grades, K - 12, as well as adults. The majority of my experience has been with students with disabilities, as well as students learning English as a Second Language. My work with adult and high school students has been primarily in English Language Arts, Reading and Writing strategies, and study skills. I have extensive training in teaching English using a

Every child is different, and as a tutor, you have to be able to adapt using positive reinforcement, patience, and lots of concentration. At the same time, developing and understanding a relationship filled with common sense and a kind warming environment that makes our students comfortable with learning something that they may be having complications. You become more of a role model and not just a tutor. If a kid listens, learns, respects and wants to be around you then you know you have done a very good job. Since 1998, I've been volunteering and working with kids of all ages as well as physical/mental complications. I've taught and tutored in many areas that include Spanish, English, math, science, and sports. I love working with people of all ages especially with children. I have great references and lots of experience. I'm young, enthusiastic, organized, and patient. .

I have always enjoyed teaching and helping people learn. I discovered that I had a knack for it when I participated in a program tutoring fellow students while I was in high school. I have found that the most effective way to tutor children is to get them excited about learning as well as to make sure that they believe in themselves. I have seen that all children can learn if they have the desire, the motivation, and the proper guidance. I attended very rigorous academic institutions for both high school and college that demanded that their students achieve a well rounded education. As a result, I possess a vast amount of knowledge in a wide array of subjects. I am a very proficient writer and have also passed college level calculus and statistics. I have tutored students in all 5 basic subjects as well as Spanish, which I can speak, read, and write.

I employ a number of different tactics while teaching. My main focus is using open-ended questions which help students understand not only what the correct answer is, but also why the answer is correct. I am focus-driven and work to set objectives. I will focus on an objective until it is understood completely. I have a strong ability to relate concepts into real-life situations which helps students to retain the information they gain. As the 7th Grade English and reading teacher at Robison Middle School, test scores on the state-mandated proficiency exam improved by 24%. After one year of service, I was asked to be the Chair of the Reading department. As the instructor for Read 180, I developed students' reading abilities who were far below school and district standards. Using a set curriculum based on computer, large group and small group discussion, I balanced classwork and themed

I love helping students to become confident and successful in school. I believe that students must play an active role in their own education and it is my job to foster this through creating meaningful lessons to fit each student's life. My patient and enthusiastic nature helps students to feel comfortable in my presence. When a student realizes that he or she is capable of learning in a one-on-one setting, they become successful in the classroom as well. I graduated with a BS in Elementary and Kindergarten Education. While attending college, I gained experience as a mentor and a teacher. I have worked with different age groups in a variety of settings. I volunteered for Big Brothers/Big Sisters of America and for the PA Literacy Corps tutoring ESL adult learners. I refined my English grammar through writing essays and research papers. I have a concrete understanding of how students lear

My teaching style is somewhat relaxed so that I can encourage my students to open up. When I first begin tutoring someone I let them do things their way rather than tell them how to do something. Then, I tell them that if their method isn't working, we will try it my way. In addition to teaching them the material, I try to pass off good studying habits as well. For example, rather than help a student write a paper by simply editing their paper, I try to show the student how helpful brainstorming is, and/or how to create an efficient, simple outline. I also try to find at least one thing a student is good at and encourage him in that area. Once a student realizes he is good at something, he feels more confident in other areas as well. I started tutoring in NYC when I was a junior in high school. I tutored a sixth grader and an eighth grader, and helped them with all of their homewo
