My comments on tutoring Entrance Exams : High school entrance exams such as SSAT, HPST, ISEE, COOP, math. Many licensing exams involve math. Placement exams, including Accuplacer. I tutor math - elementary past high school level, as well as for licensing, placement, graduate admission exams, and more. I would love to learn more about your need. I teach math plainly and simply. I explain things in a way that is easy to understand and remember. The key to my success as a tutor is in how quickly I can assess where you are, connect to that, and work from there. Clients make quick success with me because I teach how to work independently, saving you time and money. I realize the answer to any one problem is not important in the end. What IS important is getting you to a place where you can think through, and do the math on your own. This approach helps you make greater progress overall and saves you time and money. Results don't lie. Please take a look at the reviews left for me here -- https://www.wyzant.com/Tutors/mathzap -- to see if I would be a good fit for you. You can message me here or there to confirm that is really me. I'd love to hear from you!

My goal is to connect with the student at THEIR level. We start by going over the basics of problem solving and work from there to foster independent thinking. I use varied approaches when the student is "stuck." I am friendly, patient and very persistent. I can assist with classwork and homework, and will tailor tutoring sessions to your needs. I will assign supplemental work to advance in the subject area as needed or desired. My ultimate goal - to work myself out of a job!

Entrance Exams is one of my top subjects! Entrance exams for nursing school

Previous nursing tutor at Dutchess Community College, Poughkeepsie, N.Y. Have compiled multiple Power Points over the years which explain concepts in simple terms and which have illustrations of concepts which will not be found in nursing textbooks. Unfortunately, nursing textbooks tend to be a faceless landscape which is presented to the student with many complex concepts. It is important that the student be able to visualize the concepts as nursing is all about understanding and not memorization. At exam time, students are normally assigned approximately 19 chapters of reading. The brain needs concrete objects to latch onto, such as pictures. Otherwise, the brain will be unable to easily retrieve one sentence from the mass of information which the student is required to know. Between illustrations and specific strategies for answering nursing questions, the aspiring nursing student sho ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My passion in life is working with children! I love teaching and having the opportunity to share knowledge with children. My experience teaching and tutoring has taught me a great deal about how to reach different students. All children are capable of learning; however, the manner in which children learn can differ. Children need to feel successful in order to be successful. If you portray a negative attitude about learning, children will sense that and act accordingly. I believe students learn by asking questions, figuring things out with some guidance, and making connections to what they already know. Exploration and enjoying learning are two things that will help a child reach his or her goals and WANT to keep learning!

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching is my passion. I have worked with students from 11 to 70 years old. No two people learn in the same way, and no two people can be taught in the same way. I customize each session to fit the needs of the tutee. I am patient, friendly, easy to understand, and can help relate the subject to real life. My experience allows me to quickly see which aspects of the subject are difficult, how it can be made clearer, and the best way for each student to learn. I strive to ensure that each student I tutor leaves the session; having learned the material, having achieved their full potential, and feeling confident in the subject. I not only help each student learn, but help each student become stronger in their ability to work alone.

With my background in Humanities, my mission as an educator would be to enlighten the minds of the students in my class by incorporating other subjects into literature. Having my Master's Degree in Humanities has enabled me to study and gain knowledge about a diverse academic spectrum. The knowledge of multiple subjects is essential when teaching English because it creates a more diverse learning experience where students can see just how interconnected history and literature – and life – truly are. My goal to is help every child succeed in education and enjoy the process of learning; I intend to engender and use the students’ passions to help facilitate a lesson or unit.

I had once been told by a very seasoned teacher that "If you can not go through the front door find an open window." She opened my eyes to creative, and interesting ways to stimulate young minds. I love helping children learn, and finding their open window. A great teacher can incorporate different styles of teaching to adapt to a child's learning ability.
As a hardworking individual with excellent communication skills, I would like to explore the possibility of putting my talents and experience to help children. Currently I have a successful and satisfying career with Artwell Gallery, a nonprofit community based art gallery. However I am looking forward to embarking on a new career. I hold a BA in Radio, Television, and Film from Rowan University. For three years I worked in a pre-school teaching Art to students aged three to five.

A Little Bit About Me...

For the 2008-09 school year I was employed in the Connecticut school system in the special education department. There I developed experience tutoring special education students in grades K-6 and worked closely with a myriad of personalities, both adults and children. Additionally, I spent the previous year leading the art department of an influential promotional products firm. I gained experience in customer service and graphic design, and also invaluable knowledge regarding teamwork and juggling multiple tasks. These various facets of my background have enabled me to work well with both children and adults, in special education or otherwise.
I love working with both children and adults and enjoy both the similarities and differences in teaching style required for each. My previous experiences, both in academic and creative fields, have afforded me a great level of patience a ... read more
