I really believe learning science is meant to be an experience, not just an exercise in memorization. I like to teach things with hands-on activities and field experiences. I feel like this helps the student internalize things more effectively and allows them to see that science truly can be FUN! I have formal education experience as a science teacher in both the middle school setting (2 years), and the high school setting (1 year). I also have 3 years of informal education experience that will help me connect with students. I worked as a science educator for three years at the Louisville Science Center, creating labs and demos on every science subject. Additionally, I have been a coach for 12 years, giving me the ability to motivate and break things down. My biggest attribute as a tutor will be my ability to “think outside the box”. I feel I have a knack for understanding how to

My goal with your child is not merely to transfer information but to cultivate a love for learning and a passion for excellence. I enjoy thinking through creative ways to teach ordinary subjects that can help a student enjoy the learning process. Knowing that each student is unique, I seek to explain concepts in a variety of ways until it “clicks” for each person. I also believe that practice is the mother of learning, whether on the basketball court or in the classroom. I would want your student to practice the needed skill until he/she is confident with it. I know from experience the profound influence that a teacher can have on a student both as a role model and academically. I hope to provide both of these for your child. Graduating from Northwestern University, I know what it takes to succeed in the classroom. I received two degrees in math and economics, giving me a strong foundati

John W - Shelbyville, KY 40065 (37.3 mi) - Chess Tutor - $35.00/hr.
Disregarding my history, ethics, and religion expertise, my main reason for applying is my confidence in my capabilities to teach English. Basic parts of speech, syntax, grammar, organization, rhetoric, and multiple genres--from correct usage to specialized purposes (such as academic papers, business, text for oral delivery) have been mastered.
In terms of mathematics, I taught GED, which covered most basic functions; however, I am a humanities person. My preferences are in the areas where I have spent most of my time. Genuine, personal interest in the child; establishing rapport; establishing the student's mastery level, then building from there (instead of an arbitrary line which creates anxiety); affirmation of every step of progress/success; recognition but careful use of errors in non-judgmental, constructive correction; ease in backing up for review when needed; positive verba
