A Little Bit About Me...

The prompt for this box (TEACHING STYLE) is ascinine in and of itself: tutoring-style is what it should read. And, please, forgive me, but either a tutor achieves results or a tutor does not.
I carry diplomas (and who really cares?) from Northern Illinois University in both Political Philosophy and English Literature, yada-yada-yada, and so on and so forth, etcetera, etcetera (graduated 2006). I have written two full-length novels that your children, most likely, will someday be required to read by some god-forsaken English teacher who does not believe in 'fun'. I could, of course, sit here, all day, listing all the reasons why you, or your child, should choose 'me' to guide them through life, and if not through life, then, at the very least, through whichever course they will most likely fail otherwise. Furthermore, and in spite of the fact that I do not understand this most bothe ... read more

I am not young enough to know everything

You will see from my resume below that I have strong experience in math, science, engineering and computers. It is worth mentioning that I am also skilled in english (5 on my AP World Lit exam) and art (voted most artistic in my senior high school class). I have also tutored at least 4 students in the past, and found it to be a successful and rewarding experience. Katharine P.

A Little Bit About Me...

Relaxed, personalized, result driven
I have had experience working with middle school students with various learning disabilities, so I have a lot of patience, and I used creative ways to help students learn and recall material for testing. I worked hard to make sure students understood and retained information, and helped them learn various ways to comprehend and remember things.

A Little Bit About Me...

Logical lecturing periodically within explanations poised by pupils based on material being studied.
I have never formally tutored anyone but I have helped my younger siblings and classmates with homework before and I am confident in my abilities to communicate information in a logical and well ordered manner so that a pupil will be able to understand, comprehend, and apply the information in a testing setting.

My comments on tutoring Political Science : As an avid reader and substitute teacher, I have had developed both the knowledge and proficiency to aide students. Additionally I have received training for instruction in this area in my pursuit of a K-8 teaching license.

My teaching style emphasizes intuition and adaptability to ensure a good fit between teaching and learning styles. Equal emphasis is placed on learning current material and the confidence for future learning. Teaching methods will vary depending on the skills, interests, and temperaments of each student.
Experience overview: 5-years experience as a substitute teacher, worked as a tutor for one year, volunteered to assist teachers in the classroom, and is in studying to become a licensed elementary teacher. Details I am currently in my fifth year of substitute teaching. The students have come from a wide variety of backgrounds and with varying degree of academic skills. I have had taught in all subject areas. In the classroom I strive to be well-prepared, organized, engaging, and accessible. I am on the preferred substitute list of many teachers and often I am cont ... read more

My teaching style could not be better described than to quote Ignacio Estrada, “If a child can't learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn.” I believe we are all granted certain talents and gifts and sometimes we just need that little bit of guidance to reach deep down and find how we can be our very best. Let me help your child reach his or her full potential. In addition to being a patient and caring tutor, I teach with empathy. I appreciate how children can feel a loss of confidence in themselves, especially when their peers are excelling at a time they are not. In a positive and nurturing environment, I will help your child build confidence in his or her abilities, aligning the path for academic achievement.

As an active member of my community, in the form of pageantry, volunteering, and leadership, I have always enjoyed instructing others. Currently, I love my job at Midwest Generation as an Instructional Designer of Training. I get to train Engineers and Office Managers on subjects I knew little about, and have grown in responsibility and development. I love kids, since my summer camp instruction job I held all throughout High School as well as an active instructor at my church. I just graduated from Illinois State University about a year ago, and am recently educated and knowledgeable in all subjects, especially English, Social Studies, and Math. I also have five years of French studies.

More About This Tutor...

I have learned that in teaching physics and mathematics it is important not only to have a grasp of the broad principles and concepts but to see how they are related and build upon one another. Furthermore, I have seen the success in teaching and practicing physics and mathematics from a problem solving point of view and tend to teach by providing examples to be worked upon and solving problems that typify common physics exam questions. I enjoy teaching to people from all different types of educational background and capabilities and see any subject material as accessible to all provided they are taught in a way most suitable to the individual and strive to find that for every one of my students.

More About This Tutor...

I have been teaching for 25 years. I began as a high-school teacher, taught grade school and special education, and then spent 20 years as a university professor of English and philosophy. I started tutoring as a graduate student and have been doing it on and off now for 20 years.
I like working with grade-school students, but I like best a variety of teaching situations. That for me truly represents the challange of teaching. Only a diversity of students can bring learning to itself, reveal the demands of cognition for what they are. As a philosophy PhD this interests me very much.

I consider myself to be very empathetic. As such, I try to put myself in the shoes of the student I am teaching in an attempt to understand what motivates him/her most effectively. I feel that learning is best acheived when both the student and the tutor are approaching the problem from the same perspective.
I had spent most of my professional career with the Follett Higher Education Group and sincerely enjoyed working in this academic environment. In my role as Media Manager, I created and implemented media plans for numerous college bookstores across the US and in Canada. As part of an Integrated Marketing team, I worked closely with the directors of various departments, as well as store and regional managers in the field, to develop effective and cost-efficient promotions for the bookstores. To continue developing my leadership skills, I joined Toastmasters International. ... read more

I have taken quite a few upper level courses that many students may find difficult in their collegiate years. I took General Chemistry I & II, Organic Chemistry I & II, College Physics I & II, Human Physiology, Microbiology, Biochemistry, Calculus I, Histology, General Biology, Pathophysiology, and Genetics to name a few. I come from a heavy science background and have been tutoring students since Junior year of high school. I have also completed several research projects at my undergraduate institution. I am willing to tutor college level courses because I have first-hand experience with them and know how frustrating times can be while in college.
I love teaching and imparting knowledge to others. I believe that if you understand a concept or idea, then you have the obligation to help another who is faltering on the way with the same concept. I believe in sharing knowledge and tha ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

During my high school years I would volunteer to help children through various charities and church. When I attended college I became an Early Childhood Education major and volunteered in preschool and elementary schools. During my Student Teaching in Des Plaines I was in complete control of a Kindergarten classroom and later a 2nd Grade class. After graduating I began working in a daycare where I created activities for children as young as 3 years old and activities and homework help for elementary students as old as 13.
When I am teaching I am very patient and try to organize the lesson or my assistance in steps. I'll have the child read the problem or question, ask what they know about it, see if they understand the question and proceed. The patient style helps me see what the student's strengths and weaknesses are so I know what they need to practice and focus on. If the c ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I teach to the needs and style of the child. I understand that each child has a specific style of learning. I vary my teaching with visual, auditory, and multi-sensory aids. All of my teaching includes a great deal of patience and humor! I have had great success in each child I have tutored, whether this has involved understanding, grades, or self-esteem.
I have taught, tutored and administered educational programs for over 15 years. These experiences included teaching 1st and 4th grade, tutoring grades 1-8, writing assistance for high school and university students, teaching ESL to youth and adult, GED prep for youth and adults, and managing two adult education programs. I have also earned certification in special learning needs.
