Individual & Group Tutoring. Project-Based Enrichment

I have extensive experience as a k-12 and adult teacher of all subjects (excepting advanced math and science) and as a teacher of technology to all ages, including technophobes:) I offer specific subject tutoring, as well as project-based enrichment programs tailored to a student's interest. My experience is wide-ranging. I have taught home school groups in mixed age groups, created a wilderness eco-learning program in Hawaii, and managed a computer lab for middle/high school students that also trained teachers and developed technology-based curriculum. I love to teach:)

I believe in using all the resources available in order to be an effective teacher. Each student is individual and requires a different approach to learning. I believe it is imperative to address all the learing styles of your students. The key to teaching is the ability to interpret your students and tailor your teaching style to meet their needs.
I have worked within schools for the past six years. I also completed two student teaching requirements for my state certification. I have worked in schools both in Pennsylvania and in Florida in a volunteer capacity within the classroom. I have worked both with groups of students on projects, as well as with individuals who required more personalized instruction to meet their needs.

I have always loved working with children and seeing the ways that they can grow. I feel that each child has his/her own learning style and that the teacher needs to work around each learning style. I believe that positive reinforcement should always be given. I enjoy working with students in small groups or one-on-one. I hope that I can find a way to make each child succeed.
I graduated from Shippensburg University in 2006 with a BS in elementary education and a minor in Reading. During the 2006-2007 school year, I worked as a daily substitute and gained experience in all grade levels. Throughout the 2007-2008 school year, I worked as a long term substitute in a fifth grade classroom. I had the opportunity to teach all subjects to my class. While working at this school, I tutored a small group of students to prepare them for the PSSA (Pennsylvania's state assessment). During the b ... read more

More About This Tutor...

With a B.A. in Journalism, I have written for radio, TV, national magazines and several newspapers. I have worked with college-age and adult students teaching them English speaking and writing skills. In pursuing my Master of Education in TESOL, I have learned how to teach students about grammar, writing and reading. I will receive my Masters of Education in TESOL this Saturday, May 2nd. I enjoy working with ESOL students of all ages.
I have a communicative approach to learning. I feel it is important for a student to actually use the skills he or she is learning in communicating with others. I believe in order to teach effectively a teacher must find out the students' learning styles. All students can learn if their individual needs are focused on.

More About This Tutor...

The two main philosophies I try to live my life by are giving back more than what has been given to me, and always leave something in better condition then I found it. Life has not always been an easy road, but through hard work and determination I have risen above any adversity life has presented. I believe the juxtaposition of these philosophies with the leadership skills acquired through my years as a merchant mariner will help me reach my full potential as an educator. My qualifications include but are not limited to a United States Coast Guard Licensed Master Captain, Condominium President of a one hundred and sixty unit beach side complex in Cape Canaveral Florida, and a coach of a sixth through tenth grade hockey team.

I love working with all students but the majority of my experience is with high school students and helping to prepare them for college. My goal is for them to see college as an option that regardless of their financial situation that if they work hard and want it badly than they will succeed. I have tutored children with learning disabilities and understand people learn differently so I am able to teach in many different ways to suit the need of each student
Since graduate school I have been tutoring off and on mostly at the high school level in a variety of subjects, mostly math, through pre calculus, spanish, study skills, test preparation, history, sciences. I have also tutored elementary and middle school students. Although my education is in psychology I have been around teaching all of my life being raised by a school teacher. I am a mother of two small children and understa ... read more

I have had some very patient and supportive teachers and mentors throughout my education, which extended well into my adulthood. As a result, I tend to be very compassionate, understanding, and supportive of the students that I have taught and mentored. I tend to be thorough, provide a constructive learning environment, and motivate students to succeed. I am most proud to have had the experience of getting my lowest acheiving students to become some of the highest achievers and proudest students by the end of the school year. I tend to be able to motivate both the best and poorer performing students to be able to succeed by setting goals and achieving them.
I have enjoyed the opportunity to teach students to excel at several different levels during my career as a research scientist. As a graduate student, I tutored and mentored students in the local middle school science researc ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I never give up on a child or an adult. I recently tutored a law enforcement official to help him understand and pass algebra. He didn't think anyone could help him. The schools told me my son would never learn to read or write. He is my only child out of four who reads lengthy books for pleasure. Everyone has a different style of learning. My teaching methods I alter to suit those needs. I spent three years trying to help my dyslexic son learn to read one sentence. I have patience and I love helping people. I am also a volunteer crisis counselor for the local police department.
I took every math course offered by a 4 year college, student taught for one 6 week session, and took some educational courses. After home educating my 4 children for 17 years, I returned to school to complete an AA degree in liberal arts and a BA degree in sociology. I now work as a math teacher work ... read more

More About This Tutor...

At college I worked as a tutor for two years in the areas of chemistry and mathematics. I earned BA's in chemistry and biochemistry and have some laboratory experience. Having been educated at a liberal arts school has also given me the opportunity to study philosophy and sociology. I also write well, as writing is emphasized in all disciplines of study at Knox. Previous to my college education, I was also active in my tutoring program in high school.
The most important part of teaching is to teach students the principle or concept behind a subject. I do not believe in making students memorize absurdly large lists of facts in order to pass a test. Learning should be more fundamental than that. When a student has been successfully taught something, the student should be able to solve an array of problems with a common theme.

I believe in the potential of every child and am committed to their academic achievement. Through my work with children and adults with disabilities, I have learned patience and understanding; qualities that I believe make me a strong educator. I believe in modeling a learning curriculum to meet the specific needs of a child and pride myself on finding novel ways to make education fun and interesting. The best part of education, to me, is the opportunity that lies in every learning experience.
Throughout my educational career, I have gained a strong foundation of knowledge in various disciplines. I hold a BA in Psychology and have also completed pre-medical requirements during my time as an undergraduate. My liberal arts background has led me to develop extensive reading, writing, and analytical skills. These skills are complemented by a solid understanding of mathematics and ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am young and energetic with the ability to engage students. I have been told on numerous occasions that I make previously difficult subjects accessible to those that thought that it was not "their thing". I believe that all students have their own method of learning, and their success is dependent on how well an educator can adapt to their style. I am very flexible and innovative in creating lesson plans. I am patient, friendly, enthusiastic, and have an overwhelming love of teaching.
Having earned a B.S. in Physics/Astrophysics and as an upcoming graduate from the Florida Institute of Technology Master's program in Space Sciences, I have an outstanding background in physics, mathematics, and other physical sciences. I also have a wide range of teaching experience, including high school Earth Science, middle school biology, and undergraduate physics laboratories. Within the ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I encourage students to relate among themselves, learn from one another. I listen to students for their knowledge and power. I learn from them, as they from me. I delight in lecture methods, as I do in smaller group situations, in which students team-up in groups of 4-5 and work through projects as a team. They then present their findings as a team. It's proven a remarkably powerful for students to produce results. I delight in team-teaching as well, both with other teachers and administrators. I'm committed to 'selfless service' as teacher.
Since my days as a graduate student, I love to learn, as both student and teacher. As teacher, I've taught Humanities at the Junior College level, teaching Fine Arts, Music, English literature and Philosophy. I've taught students to make connections, relationships, between what they see and hear. Sight and Sound, then, allo ... read more
