My goal with your child is not merely to transfer information but to cultivate a love for learning and a passion for excellence. I enjoy thinking through creative ways to teach ordinary subjects that can help a student enjoy the learning process. Knowing that each student is unique, I seek to explain concepts in a variety of ways until it “clicks” for each person. I also believe that practice is the mother of learning, whether on the basketball court or in the classroom. I would want your student to practice the needed skill until he/she is confident with it. I know from experience the profound influence that a teacher can have on a student both as a role model and academically. I hope to provide both of these for your child. Graduating from Northwestern University, I know what it takes to succeed in the classroom. I received two degrees in math and economics, giving me a strong foundati

I really believe learning science is meant to be an experience, not just an exercise in memorization. I like to teach things with hands-on activities and field experiences. I feel like this helps the student internalize things more effectively and allows them to see that science truly can be FUN! I have formal education experience as a science teacher in both the middle school setting (2 years), and the high school setting (1 year). I also have 3 years of informal education experience that will help me connect with students. I worked as a science educator for three years at the Louisville Science Center, creating labs and demos on every science subject. Additionally, I have been a coach for 12 years, giving me the ability to motivate and break things down. My biggest attribute as a tutor will be my ability to “think outside the box”. I feel I have a knack for understanding how to

John W - Shelbyville, KY 40065 (29 mi) - Chess Tutor - $35.00/hr.
Genuine, personal interest in the child; establishing rapport; establishing the student's mastery level, then building from there (instead of an arbitrary line which creates anxiety); affirmation of every step of progress/success; recognition but careful use of errors in non-judgmental, constructive correction; ease in backing up for review when needed; positive verbal and behavioral reinforcement to the student, including reports to parents about same, all these are things that come to mind.
I have been recognized for being able to communicate and teach behaviorally-disabled and -challenged students. I think this is because of my many years as a minister. I am nonplussed by lack of cooperation, and seem able to penetrate quickly past the veil of insecurity that causes some students not to cooperate with adults. I believe I offer more, therefore, than mere subject expertise: I bel
