I would have to say that my teaching style is flexibility. I believe that it is necessary to gauge your students as a group and individually before deciding on which teaching methods would be most effective. I believe that naturalistic teaching is important. I also believe in a form of discrete trial training. It takes some of the basics from Discrete Trial and adapts them to fit the needs of the students that are struggling with certain subjects. Research has proven that all students learn differently and lessons cannot be taught primarily through auditory learning. A teacher especially one in the younger grades must engage in auditory, visual, tactile, kinestics and other learning methods.
I worked as an in home private ABA therapist for two separate families, each with a child with autism. I worked individually with both children approximately 8-12 hours per week for over a y ... read more

I currently hold my MA in history. During my studies I have earned an in depth knowledge of research methods, rhetorical writing, and have become well versed in study methods. My writing skills are near flawlessness and I stress this important skill in my every day life. In addition, I am currently learning both Spanish and French in hopes of improving my chances of entering a doctoral program. During my MA work I privately tutored students in History, English Literature, and Spanish.
My years of studying and tutoring have given me the patience and kindness to work with both my peers, mentors, and children. I have a free-flowing personality and I am not easily shaken. I look for challenges in my every day life and welcome new ideas and criticisms so that I can not only improve myself, but those around me. I do not believe that "some people can not learn," but I do believe th ... read more

I am warm, engaging and fun--I award stickers and other incentives for learning and achievement goals and I work closely with children and adults AT THEIR LEVEL to bring them to excel in the subjects that they are studying. I sometimes cross-reference different subjects to give a multi-dimensional approach to learning. I make an effort to honor the individuality of the child or adult learning, and aim to make a significant contribution to his or her academic or artistic development.
I've taught both piano and other school subjects as a one-to-one instructor in a sub-contractor fashion, for over 20 years, and I taught General Music in public school K-4, in 2002. As both an undergraduate and Graduate, analyzing and writing about 19th Century literature and poetry, Women's studies,Art and Music history, and comparative literature and music, I have developed analytical, critical and wr ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am patient and approachable but insist on the value of completing assignments even if the student "hates" them. I am good at explaining how this will be important later, which turns around reluctant learners. I believe in explaining, showing, modelling, and then stepping back while the student tries, explains, and determines where the mistakes come up. I value resiliance, and bask in the joy of competence achieved through effort.
I went from the Boston Public Schools to Commonwealth School and then Wellesley College, and would have been lost, early on, without help from tutors. I majored in English and Russian and work with several communities for whom English is not their first language. I am also a freelance writer and editor and I help my children's friends with their college essays. I work as a substitute teacher with all levels and grades and teach everything but Science and ... read more

I view teaching as successful transference of knowledge. I have a profound respect for teachers that teach for the love of it. After I completed my Bachelors degree, I taught for 2 weeks at a High School in Barbados that catered to students with special education needs. Though it was a short period of time, I enjoyed developing different techniques to engage the unique needs of each child. I prefer interactive methods of teaching as I believe that children learn more when they feel a part of the learning process. The students that I taught appreciated my caring and patient approach. Patience is key when tutoring because pressure only inhibits learning potential. I receive great joy from the expression on a child’s face when they have finally understood a concept. Then and only then do I smile with great pride of having been able to accomplish successful transference of knowledge. ... read more

My teaching style is a combination of serious, in-depth theory and practical examples to demonstrate such theories, all with a hint of humor, followed by significant practice of the newly learned skills. I've been "teaching" people all of my business career. I always start with the underlying theory and immediately segue into a practical example of how the principles work. I think students want to learn, but need the information presented in a way that makes learning interesting, not boring. I have that ability. I'm able to integrate relevant practical examples because I have a very broad range of experience, having been an entrepreneur and turnaround management consultant for over 40 years.
I taught a computer "cap-stone" class to graduating seniors part-time at the Katherine Gibbs school for 1 semester. There were approximately 14 Seniors in the class and we utilized all ... read more
