More About This Tutor...

I have had experience as a substitute teacher in a public school system, I have had numerous tutoring opportunities with children of all ages, including college level students. I have studied in the College of Education at Mississippi State University where I learned many effective teaching strategies for all ages of students.
Interactive, involving much student to student and student to teacher communication. Small groups are frequent in my teaching methods. A student will never be put on the spot, but participation is highly encouraged.

My comments on tutoring Spanish : I am not a fancy certified teacher. I don't speak Castilian Spanish, and I don't pretend that the Spanish that I speak is as formal as they speak in Madrid, but I am fluent, and I do know the language. I am new to the field of teaching, and trying to help others while I make a name for myself. I don't promise to make you fluent in Spanish overnight, but with interest and participation from you, I will teach you the Spanish that you need to accomplish your goals.

I teach mostly by rote. So, if you want an interactive lab, then I'm your man. Language is alive and meant to be spoken, not droned on about in a lecture.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love working with children and helping them succeed. I enjoy getting to know the child as an individual in order to form a relationship with them that will allow me to identify their learning style and interests. I am very patient, kind, intelligent and loving and I have high expectations for my students.
With a degree in elementary education, I have been successful teaching and tutoring young children. I am especially proficient in teaching reading and have learned several different approaches to evaluate and direct students in their learning. I'm also knowledgeable in math, history, art, science, and computers and familiar with a variety of curricula.

I come into contact with a variety of different students with different areas of interest as a public speaking teacher. My teaching philosophy is to recognize that every student needs, wants, and gets something different from their studies, and it is my job to help them do just that. Rather than conduct a “one size fits all” class, I work with my students individually to guide them in their research and help them get the most out of their speeches. I believe it is important for them to choose topics that interest them as a way to learn about an area they already like and become excited about delivering speeches, something that most students fear.
I have always valued the importance of a quality education and have encouraged friends with no college ambition to start working on their degrees. I am not, however, an elitist. I think every endeavor is a learning experience, but there ar ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am young, enthusiastic, understanding, and patient. I am passionate about teaching, and it is my foremost goal to direct students toward academic success. I think of teaching as a fine art, founded upon a set of testable objectives. Each and every student is capable of learning, but no one specific formula can guarantee that learning will actually occur. Instead, the process by which it is accomplished is unique to the individual student; personal learning style must be critically evaluated in the development of any effective tutoring plan. A dynamic relationship should also exist between teacher and student, since ideas must be exchanged, discussed, understood, remembered, and applied.
I have earned a bachelor of science degree in Biomedical Sciences, with honors, and am currently working toward the completion of a Ph.D. in Basic Medical Sciences. My scientific training supports ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a native spanish speaker, I am fluent in the Spanish language with a high level of knowledge of this language obtained throughout my formation as a professional in International Business. Also I have three years of study in Psychology. During four years I have tutored students in Peru, and during the last two years I have been tutoring students in spanish.
I enjoy teaching spanish. As a foreign language student, english student, I learned about the most efficient teaching method depending on each of my student's needs. I am really patient and my goal is to give the students a good understanding of different aspects in the language as in grammar, listening, reading, speaking in a practical way without making it boring and monotonous. I am certain that I can make a difference in each of my student's life.

A Little Bit About Me...

Following the birth of my third child, I taught at her pre-school and caught the teaching "bug". I then completed a graduate program in Elementary Education, taught for one year in the public school system in Florida and then taught for one year in Alabama. I have the ability to help children struggling in reading to make great strides and as a result, gain the self-confidence to do well in school. I believe in a "hands-on" approach as we all learn better by doing than watching. My goal is for a child to like school, like learning, and know he/she can do anything given a little hard work.
I believe a "hands-on" approach is the best way to retain knowledge given all learning styles. If we do it, we will remember it. If learning is considered fun, we want to do it and all subject areas can have an element of fun. Positive reinforcement within a structured environment is my sty ... read more

I enjoy teaching and working with people of all ages. I don't have a particular style of teaching, because I belive each person is a whole new word with differents needs. I like first to get to know them and become their friend to gain trust, in order to stablish a good teacher-student relation.
As a legal imigrant, I was driven to help other people like me to become fluent in english. While I wa in this path, I discover that teaching fulfills my life. I have earned a Master degree in physical therapy, which makes me very sensity and understandful, towards people that have any kind of difficulties and disadvantage. I have learned extensive grammatical skills in spanish die to writtting extensive reserah papers and medical reports. During the last two years I have tutored students in english as well in spanish.

I worked first hand with professor and teaching assistant and have learned what they are looking for. I believe in teaching concepts and helping students fully understand ideals rather than students just memorizing facts. This way no matter what the professor asks they will know how to answer questions and ace exams. If they just memorize things, they can get confused and get answers distorted. I believe in hands on learning and teaching. I would make "Jeopardy" games to quiz students and also have fun at the same time. By quizing on concepts that are being taught, it gives insight to what the student is understanding and therefore, I can adjust and clarify things that the student is not understanding. I enjoy teaching and helping students.
I have a Bachelors degree in Biomedical Sciences. I have taken courses such as Biology, Chemistry, Genetics, Immunology, Microbiology, Organic ... read more

My style of teaching varies. On the most important note, I find environment important for focus. In addition, I find that the student-teacher relationship must be one of trusting, because you should really be studying what the student finds important to convey on paper, where their strengths and weaknesses lie, and what areas they need most strengthening with. I also find important to not pressure the student - he or she learns at his or her own pace, and taking these drawbacks or assets upon oneself, is the job of a good teacher, one who values the importance as well as the humble experience that you are given the chance to shape a student's entire learning experience.
At UM, I received a scholarship in which I tutored the students, helping with thesises, short papers, as well as summaries. I worked at the University's writing lab, and found it very inspirational as well as be ... read more
