Get caring and encouraging help...be successful!

I have worked with students in international schools living overseas in many countries for 40 years. I can provide knowledgeable and patient help in many subjects and help you to believe in your own capabilities. I have been a counselor for all ages of students and find that often that attitude you bring to your studies determines your success and I can also help you with this.
Open, encouraging, flexible, respond to the needs of the student.

In order to to be a successful teacher and to help others to succeed, a dedicated and disciplined teacher will gain the TRUST of his/her students by first LISTENING, always being willing to help, never standing in judgement or criticize, especially in front of others, and giving the students respect/credit to be able to learn! Also, each person learns in a different way/speed, some fast, others slower...all of the above is my teaching style, and to have the PATIENCE to individually help EVERYONE, no matter how fast/slow! ALWAYS BELIEVE in your students...they will BELIEVE in YOU!
My teaching experience includes private/public/correctional schools (Florida Dept. of Corrections-State certified teacher,drug/alcohol counselor 1983-2000)...private tutoring (Reading,Writing,Math) with many happy,successful students of all ages/backgrounds (1965-present).

I have tutored fellow students, my son's friends, my friends, and family up through the years. Officially I have worked as a Math tutor individually and in the Math Center, and corrected math homework at the local college for 2 semesters.

In addition to 4 AA’s (in Math, Physics, Chemistry and Liberal Arts emphasis on science, and an almost finished degree in Computer Engineering from Norway, I have taken courses online, through mail, and also practical courses in many fields; all science related (Pilot courses, Auto mechanic written course, Military courses, etc.)

I enjoy reviewing an assignment, lesson, chapter, or other student material, and determining what is needed from the student. I also believe in making learning as fun and interesting as possible, and in helping students set their own goals for a lesson or for a subject.
I worked in educational assessment for eight years, developing custom tests (in the reading/language arts and social studies content areas) for state departments of education. My focus was on creating tests (multiple-choice and essay-based) in alignment with state standards. In light of my extensive assessment experience, I understand how tests are written and organized, and I understand how to help students prepare for tests, as well as how to complete other assignments. Earlier, I worked as a substitute teacher at the elementary, middle school, and high school levels, and also taught Algebra I for three summers ... read more

I would describe my teaching style as flexible. I believe that students learn differently and it's up to the teacher to adjust accordingly. My greatest asset as a teacher is my patience. If a student doesn't get it it's no problem. We just do it again and perhaps in a different manner. I do believe that all students are capable of learning and it's up to the teacher to lead the students in the right direction. Learning should be fun and and I believe maintaining a positive environment, giving encouragement and never giving up on the student.
I am a teacher of 20 years. My experience includes elementary, middle, and high school. I also taught for one year overseas. I have 3 years experience working as a tutor. I possess a Bachelor of Arts in History and a Bachelor of Science in Social Studies Education. During the past 5 years I have worked at a self-paced charter school working wit ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I just returned to the US from Shanghai where I worked as a teacher of Science, Social Studies, English and Literature. I have extensive experience as a teacher and tutor. I am very good with students and have over 5 years experience teaching and tutoring. I am excellent teaching reading, writing, and essay writing. I generally tutored 2 to 4 hours after school, worked with a special student diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder, taught a writing workshop for gifted students and was editor for the monthly school newsletter.
In over five years of teaching and tutoring I have found that many students need to achieve some type of success with school. Many students have gotten behind or had bad experiences in school and if a teacher can give them some form of success in school they often turn a corner and begin to improve in their studies. With continued positive reinforcement and ... read more

As a young lawyer, I am proficient in all subject matters and excel in grammatical skills and language arts. I graduated cum laude from Georgetown University Law Center in Washington DC. I have taken advanced courses in legal writing and learned the import of concise, clear writing. I earned my undergraduate degree at The Ohio State University where I graduated with honors, with distinction, and magna cum laude. To obtain these honors, I completed a rigorous curriculum including courses in calculus, biology, chemistry, and French. In the last ten years, I have tutored elementary, high school, and college-aged students.

My teaching style is very Socratic. I rarely give answers to students. I love to have them search and discover the answers on their own. This involves a lot of questions and guiding the student to the correct answer. When students discover the answer on their own it is much more rewarding and long lasting for them. I firmly believe in fostering critical thinking and building students' logical reasoning skills. I constantly remind them that the skills they are developing with me are not just valuable in math but stretch into real world situations as well and will help them throughout their entire life.

I graduated from the University of California Santa Barbara two years ago with two degrees in Spanish Literature and Women’s Studies I graduated with honors from both subjects of study. Through these two different programs I have learned language, reading, writing, grammatical skills due to the extensive reading and writing I did. I will say that my strongest skills are Spanish language, reading and writing. I am currently tutoring students to improve their reading skills in a High School setting.
I learned at a young age that everyone is different when it comes to learning. My goal as a teacher is to learn the student’s needs and apply a curriculum that will help the student reach their potential. I have great communication skills and I love to communicate with my students I ask them question to get to know them. I am very responsible, and understanding.

I graduated with an AA Degree in Liberal Studies from Allan Hancock Community College. I then transferred to San Francisco State University where I earned my BA Degree in Liberal Studies with an emphasis in Sociology. Upon graduation, I began working as a Substitute Teacher for grades K-8 in Santa Maria, CA. During this time, I was responsible for teaching many subjects including English, math, music, history and physical education. I also conducted many small group tutoring sessions.
I have taught and tutored hundreds of children while substitute teaching. I have found that my style is one which tries to involve the student in the learning process as much as possible. I love using volunteers to read aloud and participate in the learning process.

I have volunteered English as a Second Language tutoring services through the Santa Barbara Public Library for over two years. My students have come from Mexico, Latvia, and Mongolia. In addition, my most recent paid jobs as a Market Research Analyst/Associate Analyst included Editing/Quality Control duties, focusing on proper grammar, style, and content. I have a passion for the proper use of the English language, both spoken and written, and would relish an opportunity to share that passion with students.
Each student is unique and needs to be approached in a unique teaching fashion. I try hard to listen to students and to learn what their goals and needs are. I then tailor the teaching approach to meet those goals and needs, fully believing that if students sense they are being listened to they will also feel motivated to learn. I am patient, able to laugh and feel comfortable a ... read more
