I understand the differences in learning styles and take the time to understand your unique needs. I do not prescribe just one method to teach you; I have the experience to synthesize different methods to create a unique plan for you or your child. I combine tactile, auditory, and visual modalities to create a holistic approach that is tailored to your specific needs. I use multi-sensory instruction in everything. I am compassionate, enthusiastic, and highly experienced! I possess a professional degree with certifications, and have had over 7 years of experience working with students that have special needs. I serve kindergarten through adult. With my background in Education and my specialization in Special Education, I have worked with numerous children AND adults that have experienced academic frustration.

I believe my role as a teacher is to establish an environment that promotes the development of students to the maximum extent limited only by their talents and desires. A challenging aspect of this role is helping students identify their talents and encourage their desire for learning. Toward this end, I believe it is necessary to develop a relationship with each student which will allow me to serve in multiple roles: facilitator, adviser, task master, teacher, role model, and friend. As a current tutor for Kaplan, I am involved with teaching future dentists how to prepare for the Dental Admission Test (DAT). Teaching prospective dental school applicants how to master this standardized test involves teaching not only test taking strategies, but also the mastery of large volumes of information. The DAT tests knowledge in the following areas: biology, chemistry, organic chemistry, rea

My teaching style is adapted to meet the student’s needs. I firmly believe that each child learns differently. I think students either learn kinesthetically, visually, or auditorally, for the most part. I think it is my job as a teacher to find out which style best suits the student and adapt my style accordingly. I also think that while I am trying to help students develop skills in their weak areas, I need to be focusing on their strengths and building their self-esteem. I think tutoring gives great opportunity for me to achieve this goal. For my first experience in teaching, I worked with both high school and elementary school students who were learning disabled and in need of help. I used the Orton-Gillingham method for dyslexia and found that it really seemed to work well to suit the student’s needs. From there I went on to work two years in resource rooms working with middle school

I believe that all students will achieve when you have high expectations from them. All my students have the ability to succeed everyday in the classroom.

I have done student teaching at the high school level in Math, specifically, Geometry and Trigonometry. I created innovative new ways to use the materials on hand to reawaken students' natural mathematical curiosity and to exemplify the concepts of the courses. I have done one semester of long term substitute work in which I taught underprivileged children Physics and Physical Science. I had to design the curriculum from the ground up because they had rotating substitutes before I took over. Beyond that, I have taught numerous and varied college labs and recitations in the UNC physics department, and I have tutored for those same classes. I have also recently started tutoring high school students in the area. My teaching style is a mixture of direct instruction and discovery based learning whose components depend on the student(s) at hand. I've been known to make generalized lesson

I was a full time babysitter during my sophomore year of college. I sat for a 1st grader and 5th grader. I would help them with their homework and study for tests. The first grader was having a hard time with his subtractions and I tutored him in math. I love working with children, in my psychology studies i focused primarily on children. I know how they think and I am skilled in helping them find alternative ways of thinking about problem solving. I am extremely patient and easy to get along with. I work well with children and want to eventually become a guidance counselor.

I have always found that the best teachers are the ones who are able to explain the same concept in a variety of ways, so this is what I seek to do when teaching. I also attempt to not only teach a student how to do a problem, but also to gain a "big picture" view of the concept being taught; i.e., I want the student to be able to not only apply the concept to problems of the same type that he/she does in homework, but also to related problems that he/she might not have previously seen. I have always been gifted in mathematics, and I feel that is is my duty to help others achieve the success that I have. I earned a BS from Bucknell University in mathematics and I am now working towards a PhD in statistics at NC State University. I have taken education courses and I have worked with professors to run "gifted and talented" mathematic courses for students.

I love to teach and I get excited when I help a student whose performance was bad before I started teaching him/her but significantly improved after I started teaching them. It is very enjoyable for me and currently I just do it voluntarily for part-time. However, the best thing I like about teaching is that you are shaping the future of young children and helping them excel in areas in which they are struggling. I have always been interested in teaching. I have taught for a couple of months as a full-time teacher in Franklin County's Middle School. I have been doing part-time voluntary tutoring for the last three years teaching math, physics, chemistry, computers, and foreign language. I also participate in National Engineer's Week conducted by IBM in which engineers go to different middle and high schools and teach kids about the latest technology fields in engineering, and the impor

I believe that any child can learn and that we all have various learning styles. We just have to find the style that is best for optimum learning. Some of us are visual learners and some are auditory learners, and many of us learn with a combination of styles. I believe that by working with students to finding their unique and individual learning style a tutor is the most effective. I have always had an interest in English, writing, and Communications. I have tutored students in both English, reading, and writing. In my undergraduate program I earned a BA in English and spent time working as a writer and Sports Editor for my college newspaper, worked as an intern at a newspaper, and worked in Public Relations as Communications Manager for a nonprofit organization.

I enjoy both teaching and tutoring. I have a passion for helping those who require multiple levels of assistance with sever facets of the English language. Whether it be a need in decoding, comprehension, essay writing, creative writing, or even vocabulary, I have the skills to bring out the perfection in any student. I specialize in the education and enhancement of all students and I do so by making learning fun. Additionally, I believe that all children can learn and will learn when given the opportunity. When I completed my degree in English, I happily took on every challenge set before me as a teacher. Therefore, I have a plethora of experience to offer any student who needs extra assistance in both English (literature and writing) as well as literacy and ESL. Due to my diverse skills, I not only teach AP English IV, but I also teach the decoding strand of SRA's corrective reading pr

I am very passionate about teaching and working with young people. I believe that creativity, patience, and excellent communication are vital to finding ways to help students learn and understand what they are learning. I believe that building a good relationship while maintaining an effective learning environment is also critical. Ultimately, I feel I am a good teacher because I respect all students and accept them positively and unconditionally. While obtaining my Master's degree in Accounting, I worked as a Professor's Assistant which involved substitute teaching, research, and grading exams and homework. I have a natural ability in working with young people as well as exceptional communication, organization, presentation and people skills. As a Team Lead at IBM, I had many opportunities to train and teach others on computer systems, processes, policies and procedures, and many o
