My comments on tutoring Homework Help : I have taught at the high school level. As a school psychologist I worked with teachers to develop successful goal orientated programs. It takes small attainable tasks that are presented in a way that the student can understand and master. Slow steady progress that is positive and fulfilling for the student.

I have taught in Michigan and in California. I also have credentials as a school counselor and psychologist. I have experience with all aspects of the special education system from the K through grade 12 level. This incudes testing, placement and re-evaluation and the IEP process. I also have worked at the post secondary level and am familiar with academic and financial aide requirements.
I am very aware of the necessity of adapting my teaching style to the learning modality of those I am working with. As an educator I evaluated students to define how they best process information. They may be auditory learners, visual learners or they may use a combination approaches. I am very patient and understand that everyone can learn. I believe in setting goals and evaluating progress to establish new goals when necessary.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a lot of experience not only in fields that you may need help learning, but I also spent time during college tutoring classmates as I was in the class and developed a style to help students learn quickly and also reinforce the concepts. I understand the student to determine the best learning style for you and I make the transformation teaching you the material in an effective manner.
I first find out your true objective for learning the material. Is it a requirement and not in your field of study so you just want to pass the class or is this a part of your passion or career and really want to know the nuts and bolts of the subject. I will adjust accordingly and make out a plan. I will also figure out the best way to teach you the material and from there we will have a plan to accomplish the targeted goal.

The world would be a boring place if all of its people were the same. I believe each individual is socially, academically, emotionally, cognitively, and creatively developed differently from others. Some children perform better in social relationships than at written language and this is where people like me come handy to improve and help develop some of these academic domains. I believe people learn through direct experience and that an educator should focus on an individual’s needs, so a constructivist approach is my teaching style. I am patient, a good listener, who embraces diversity and is attentive.
Maintaining a good GPA was something extremely important to me during my academic years both in high school and in college. This is why I believe that everyone should have the opportunity and access to improve a certain academic area through the help of competent tutors like mysel ... read more

My vision and goal in working in education is to help students who are struggling and in need of help. These students can so often be overlooked or dismissed as failures, but I believe that all students have the capability to reach their goals. I strive to create a relationship with the student in which the tutoring creates an environment conducive to a common goal that we can share that will guide us to improving the student's life.

More About This Tutor...

While I pride myself on being approachable, patient and easy going, I tend to approach teaching in a methodical manner. I believe that student's time and attention is very valuable, and warrants preparation and thoroughness. My initial approach is always to first assess a student's needs, goals, learning style, and accomplishments. Next, I pick a strategy to approach the needs of the student. For example, I might select a straight-forward text or document from which I could teach loosely, such as the book "With Good Reason". (It is an excellent text on argumentative methods.) Editing and reworking methods eventually becomes paramount. I am available to help students electronically. This is a style currently 'in vogue' at my university, espoused by my professors. Students can really benefit from the focused attention it can provide.

I am a firm believer that every child can learn by incorporating the "Multiple Intelligence" method in instructing and assessing a student's progress. I have always loved teaching and working with children. I treat each child the way I would want my own two children to be treated, with kindness and respect. I am very firm, but have been told that I am also fair, and nurturing. I expect that each child should work to his or her utmost potential and I always hold children accountable for their schoolwork. Watching their learning and personal growth not to mention their confidence and self esteem grow gives me great satisfaction and what makes teaching such a wonderful and fulfilling job.

A Little Bit About Me...

I worked with students from the age of eight to eighteen. Each age group provided its own set of challenges and opportunities to strengthen my experience as a tutor. I worked with children in small groups or one-on-one, based on the child's learning style. I encouraged the children to set their academic goals high and use the support from their peers to help them achieve their goals. I have no one set teaching style, I get to know each student's learning style so that they can benefit the most from the tutoring session. Through patience, respect and dedication, I work with students so that they can achieve their goals.

I bring my strong desire to learn into the sessions to show each child there can be a joy in learning and discovery.

A Little Bit About Me...

My area of interest is English and ESL. My teaching experience was part-time, as I was employed full-time as a newspaper advertising sales executive, and that was my main income. I am an excellent teacher and have experience with all types of students. My tutoring experience was during my time at San Jost City College. I tutored students in English, Black Studies and Creative Writing. I also tutored a child with learning disabilities in basic subjexts.
My teaching style is very hands-on. I have found that students retain information longer and are more interested in learning if they can participate in the process. I have always received high marks in all my professional reviews and continue to strive for excellence. Although my teaching experience and my credential is in Adult Education, I have taught and tutored children.
