My comments on tutoring Entrance Exams : Exams all come down to prep and organization!

I obtained a B.S. in Biology, with a concentration in aquatic science, from Wittenberg University in 2006. During my undergraduate studies, I tutored elementary students in math and science twice a week for two years. After college, I moved into the marine science profession. In August of 2008, I started teaching High School Biology I, Earth and Space Science, and Physical Science to students in Polk County. In addition, after school hours were spent with two students taking AP Biology classes. Both students achieved a 4 or higher on their placement exams. My tutored students reported an increase in their ability to record class notes, study, and take tests. My previous tutoring experiences have included subjects such as; elementary science, elementary math, Algebra (I & II), Geometry, Pre- Calculus, Anatomy, Physiology, Biology (both College and HS level), HS Chemistry, basic w ... read more

I have been teaching for over 20 years, both in the traditional classroom and online. My Bachelor’s Degree is in Physics and Math, and my Master’s Degree is in Physics Education. I have taught Physical Science, Physics, Conceptual Physics, Physics Honors and AP Physics as well as Earth Space Science, Algebra, Consumer Math, and Geometry. Helping students learn and be successful has been a natural part of my teaching experience and one of the most rewarding. I have also coached students in special projects including Physics Olympiads where our team won first place.
My teaching style has always been to treat each child the way I would want my own children to be treated. I teach with respect, honesty, humor and patience. I have the experience and ability to quickly assess where a student is in their learning and where they need to be. I like to “show” and “do” whenever possibl ... read more

Active participation defines my teaching style. I truly like and enjoy my students. Because of this sincerity, the students seem to enjoy it as well. "Hands on" seems to work best for my subject matter. Students learning is reinforced with many varied activities. A few examples include,writing and performing skits,acting out novels and plays, assuming the roles of peritnent characters, cooking, library research projects,etc. I have not only hosted many European trips, but have arranged many cultural activities for the benefit of my students as well.
I have 32 years experience at high school and college level.Upon retirement in NY, I moved to Florida and obtained my Florida Teaching certificate. I spent 4 years Homeschooling a number of students.I also have tutored adults in French. Teaching remains a passion in my life. I also have taken many students with me on trips t ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a high school student, I tutored elementary and middle school students in their homes. In college, I tutored elementary age migrant children after school in english, math, and with homework studies. I also have three years experience in a public school system as a substitute teaching all grades in all subjects ranging from math and english to agriculture and special education.
I teach according to each student's learning style. I pay special attention to verbal and physical queues to understand if and how I need to change my style. I have learned that not all students can learn in the same manner and need specialized teaching in order to achieve the greatest success.

A Little Bit About Me...

Literally all my life I have been asked by students, parents and teachers to help students who were having trouble. I get tremendous fulfillment from watching someone who has been frustrated finally "get it." In addition to teaching music lessons, tutoring all subjects, and homeschooling my own two children, I have worked for the last 17 years with a private school. There I have taught a wide variety of subjects, but they depend on me the most heavily for high school sciences and maths. I am currently a registered substitute teacher, state certified to teach music and high school math, and I am working toward certification in more subjects. Due to my own hunger for education, I am actively pursuing a Masters Degree in Math Education.
When I begin tutoring a new student, my first objective is for us to get to know each other. The student will not be able to receive very much from me ... read more

For most of my professional career, I was a senior financial administrator in the non-profit sector. After receiving my Doctorate in 2002, I moved from an Administrative position to a Faculty position at the University of Massachusetts. For the past 8 years, I have worked as a professor of Accounting and Finance at a variety of universities and colleges. I feel that I bring a wealth of practical experience to the classroom and this helps me make classroom learning more relevant to my students. In addition to my classroom teaching experience, I have also worked as a test reader for the GRE exams and a volunteer tutor for adult learners.
In terms of teaching style, I believe that different students require different teaching styles and techniques and I attempt to vary and utilize those based upon the specific needs of the student. As a more specific comment related to the teachi ... read more

As a graduate in the world of technology, I believe education never ends. Things change constantly therefore we must continue to educate ourselves. In addition, I have volunteered with high school juniors and seniors to help them through courses such as math, science, computers, and English in their preparation for college. While in college, I also tutored classmates in statistics, algebra, and technology courses. Beyond that, I have learned valuable lessons about teaching others in the various management positions that I have held throughout my career.
Throughout my experience tutoring students, I have learned that everyone has a unique learning style. No single rule applies to teaching someone. I spend time figuring out how a student learns and then adjust my style to their needs. After tutoring students for the past two years, I have learned that many kids have the ability to ex ... read more

During the completion of my Bachelor's degree in Psychology I had the opportunity to work with the Maricopa College District, as well as the No Child Left Behind Program. While working with the Maricopa College District I assisted students that were enrolled in the ACE Adult Program. These students ranged in ages from 18 to 65 years old. Additionally, I worked with Martin Porres Educational Services and the No Child Left Behind Program. During my years of tutoring I have assisted students in Psychology, Statistics, math courses up to Calculus, basic science classes, reading, English, computer courses, and nursing courses (relating to mathematics).
Not only do I love to teach and help students learn, I also enjoy helping students develop an appreciation for learning in general. The most gratifying experience while teaching is the look on a student's face, after hours of confusion, a ... read more

The best way for a person to learn depends on the person, of course. It is well known that people have different leaning styles that work best for them. The best approach for a tutor is to learn which learning style fits the student best. Everything can take into account, for example lighting of the room or even background noise. All students regardless of age should be able to succeed and its a privilege to help students that want to reach their top potential
As a graduate, I understand the struggles each individual student may endure throughout their course work. Throughout my years as a student I have worked diligently and now applying to master's and PhD programs for neurological psychology. During the last 5 year, in high school and throughout college I have tutored others that needed help in psychology, algebra, statistics, geometry, and microbiology.

Most kids and young adults have the ability to complete the necessary level of work. They just need that extra amount of help to bring out the skills they already possess. I have found in working with young people that confidance is crucial. I am a good communicator with kids and try to instill that they can achieve their academic goals through patience, practice, and an open mind to success.
I have done volunteer work with kids (all levels) who needed help catching up to the level of their peers as well as working with adults to improve their reading. I have also coached basketball for middle school boys for several years. Reading, writing, history, social studies, and science are my areas of expertise. Test preparation is another area I can really help in. My eleven years in high end medical sales have given me the ability to mesh with all different kinds of personalities and w ... read more

As indicated previously, I believe all children can learn. More importantly, parents and teachers can learn a great deal from their children, specifically by listening and recognizing what motivates, excites, and draws the child in. I am extremely patient, but firm in drive and conviction to provide the best educational opportunity for every student.
As a life long learner, the parent of two school age children, and a business professional, I continue to be intrigued and encouraged by the willingness of students to learn. As an adult student earning a bachelors and masters degree, I gained a passion for education as I was not the typical college student. Rather, I was a very typical high school student, and later a part time college student, who was not prepared for college. My passion is to bring out the best learner any student can be, plain and simple. Through my work as a ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

In 1976 I left the blue-collar world and returned to college, strongly motivated to learn. In 1980 I acquired a BA in Geography (3.81 gpa in my major, 3.53 overall), with a minor degree in Environmental Geology (3.6 gpa). During my last three years of undergraduate study I was the departmental tutor in Physical, Cultural and Economic Geography. Awarded a teaching assistantship at the University of Maryland Graduate School (College Park) in 1980, I taught undergraduate courses in Geography for two years. In 1990 I was a substitute teacher (grades 7-9) for the NYC Board of Education. For the last ten years I have successfully worked with students on a variety of undergraduate and graduate-level projects in many subjects, including Political Science, Psychology, and Education. I am confident that with my background I will be able to successfully tutor students in many subjects, including ba ... read more
