Study Skills Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Las Vegas, NV

I am a strong believer in Humanistic learning. The teacher begins with the student's prior knowledge and likes and moves forward from there relating it not only to the study of the subject, but also to how the subject will be applied in real world situations. I have been a life-long learner and a teacher for the last five years. I taught college for two years and elementary school for three years in the classroom. I have been an on-line tutor for the past year. Although history is my passion and I love to teach and discuss it, I also enjoy teaching reading and math to elementary students that will use this knowledge to move ahead in life and realize theselves.

I love hands-on learning and think it is important to listen to the student's concerns and questions. If a child learns best by drawing, then we can draw! I am currently a student at Nevada State College majoring in Elementary Education. I have worked in a school-type environment while I was in Greensboro, NC. I worked as a teacher's assistant for the Center for Visual Artists in which I worked with children in pre-kindergarten to fifth grade. I have a passion for teaching and working with children. I am a native Spanish speaker and enjoy passing along my knowledge to others. In my college coursework, I have gotten the opportunity to observe numerous classrooms and work directly with students.

I currently have a 3.5 GPA am in the top 15% of my graduating class at UNLV. I like to make the subject and/or assignment relatable to the individual.

Throughout my career as a student, I have always prided myself on the ability to help others learn. When I was a high school student, I was the one other students would come to with questions, and I always gave an answer with confidence. Then I got to college and began to study Biology. I was so amazed at the broad spectrum of the sciences, that I decided to add a Chemistry component to my college degree. Through Chemistry I could better understand Biology. Then I realized that the whole time, I was increasing my ability to teach and learn, so I added an Education component to my college degree, and that has brought me to the point I am at now. As an education student, I saw many opportunities in that field. I also saw the diversity of learners, and the need for a diversity in the way education is approached. I began to challenge myself by removing limitations like language, and searchin

I graduated in May 2001 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology. In college I took a variety of courses but focused on the sciences. I became a Resident Assistant in my second year and remained one through the end of college. My responsibilities were to enforce the school's policies while being available to the dorm students for support and individual needs. During my last year in college I was a tutor for twin boys in fifth grade. I have a strong academic foundation and feel very comfortable and patient when educating others. I always begin by reinforcing the basic and main principles first. I believe that a good education begins with a strong foundation. At that point it gets interesting as we can propose real life scenarios, change variables, and add in new information. Every child learns differently, which is why I also make a point to observe how he/she responds to my tec

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 recently graduated from the University of Colorado with a bachelor's degree in architecture which allowed me to be very understanding of math and science while also gaining a strong inclination to creativity. I taught swimming lessons and tennis lessons to children for five years and I previously worked at a summer day camp for kids ages 3-13. I am CPR and Red Cross certified, and I have a great passion for working with children. I took advanced placement English and math classes in high school and in college I used my electives towards classes such as creative writing, economics, psychology, and education classes. As I complete my teaching certification and masters of education at UNLV, I hope to help children through school by becoming a tutor. I come from a family of seven children, four of them younger than me, and three of them adopted from the Philippines. Growing up in this

I believe in making teaching challenging and fun. Students need to be engaged in the day to day activities in order to learn. However, discipline is also essential. While I was a public relations professional, several people told me that I was a natural teacher. At a certain point in my career, I decided to give it a try and found out they were absolutely right! Although I did teach part time for several years during college and graduate school, this was the first time I made it my livelihood.

I believe that all children have the ability to succeed. The key is to allow a child to feel empowered to have mastery over the material. Often time teachers explain new material in only one way. As a tutor I strive to find your child's learning style to help them understand the material, and learn good study habits early. I am patient and kind but believe that your child can be challenged to succeed. I also believe that it is important for student and teacher to trust and respect each other. Parents, teachers, tutors, and student are all key to the success of your child! As a student I was an honors student who maintained an "A" average in high school, college, and in my masters program. Before earning a BS in Psychology, I completed two years as an Elementary Education major. Although I decided to focus my career as a therapist, I have utilized this education by becoming both a substit

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.

I have extensive training in teaching English using a variety of strategies including honemic awareness, SDAIE strategies, and whole-language as well. I feel comfortable tutoring English, Social Sciences, Physical science, Biology and life Science at all levels. In mathematics, I prefer tutoring only up through eighth grade. 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 i

First and foremost, I love teaching and working with children and helping them reach their full potential. I am a strong believer that education is the foundation upon which successful societies are built, and I work hard to encourage each child whom I teach to strive for educational success. My philosophy is teaching through discovery. I feel that the best way for a student to learn and retain what he/she learns is through formulating his/her own opinions based on his discovery. For that reason, particularly with older students, I tend to guide rather than lecture. I have worked as a preschool teacher both in my home state of Massachusetts and here in Las Vegas since 1993. I began as an assistant and through classroom time and college credit worked my way up to a lead teacher. In addition, I earned a BA in English/writing and have worked as a private English tutor for middle school

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 learn basic mathematics through algebra, as well as the fundamentals of reading. I currently teach first grade at a preparatory school which uses an advanced curriculum. 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.

I enjoy teaching and working with young people. I am a firm believer that students work up or down to expectations--I consistently hold high expectations and enjoy watching students work hard to meet them. Part of the challenge (and joy) of teaching is figuring out how to convey information to different types of learners. I am fascinated by the learning process, and enjoy devising new ways to teach the same subject material. On any given day in my classroom, students will be moving around, participating in discussions, writing, reading, and creating hands-on projects to solidify learning. I am a current high school English teacher, with experience in teaching Journalism, Publications, and middle school language arts. I began tutoring students (middle school and elementary school) during a stint in Americorps (2002), and continue to tutor my own ESL students today. My strength is in teach
