I thoroughly enjoy working with the elderly population and children as well. If given the opportunity, I would prefer to work with older clientel. I am a very patient, and reserved person when it comes to teaching others new skills. I have realized that not every individual will learn at the same pace or have the success rate as others. It is important to take each person on a individual basis, and if we work together we will meet the goals that are wanted by both of us. I graduated from the University of Nevada Las Vegas in 2007 with a BA in communication studies. The curriculum at UNLV has given me a solid foundation in both my written and verbal communication skills. I also completed the gerontology program as well in 2007.

Working with central city and at-risk youth is my life work. For the past ten years I have worked in a myriad of social service and educational settings employing a plethora of strategies aimed at helping central city and at-risk students achieve academic, career and social success. What's more, as a former struggling central city and at-risk student, I understand that students can only learn when they can make meaning out of their learning experience. For that reason, my efforts are targeted at the aforementioned population group as I have an empathic understanding of how to overcome the obstacles and barriers that limit their academic success. Teaching and learning are inextricably linked. Hence, I espouse to an approach that focuses more on tapping into the students learning schema than on teaching/tutoring per se. That being said, I am very interested in establishing the motivati

I believe as a tutor one should be open-minded and able to relate to their students. I possess this quality. I have a history of making and maintaining a strong connection with my students. I believe that if I show interest in their life as well as their studies they become more comfortable with me, therefore creating better communication and respect. I am a full-time college student. My strengths are math and science. During my first year of college, I took five math classes and received an "A" in all of them. Based on my ACT scores, I began college in Calculus I. Upon enrollment at UNLV, my goal was to become a forensic pathologist, but my interests have steered towards business. I am now pursuing a triple major in Marketing, International Business, and Secondary Education along with minors in Accounting, Finance, and International Language.

My teaching style is progressive. I believe education should be entertaining, however not entertainment. I enjoy challenging my students, however to do this effectively it is important that they remain engaged. One of the ways in which I do this is to encourage students to think creatively. Creativity is the key to success with education. Not only does it foster confidence and positive self-esteem, creativity keeps the brain on its toes, so to speak, by continually challenging students’ abilities and forcing students to expand beyond their academic comfort zone. Teaching students to develop new ways to solve problems generates the confidence needed to succeed not only in school but also in life. My interest in becoming a tutor stems from my life long passion for teaching and learning. Throughout the past eight years, I have focused my efforts on soaking up my education and research exper

I have a good understanding of many different subjects, due to my ongoing search to learn new things. I have always loved learning, and I strive to share my love of learning with others. While in high school, I focused my studies on art and foreign language. I continued to study foreign language in college, as well as Biology and Philosophy. I have earned a BA in Anthropology, which has allowed me to study and understand many of the subjects in which I am interested. I also have extensive experience in writing essays, research papers, grant proposals, and laboratory reports. During my time in college, I have tutored fellow students in Anthropology/Archaeology, Biology, Philosophy, and Spanish. My teaching style is based on the idea that each person learns at their own pace, in their own style. It takes patience and creativity to find the ways that the individual is going to learn

I have been a Youth Coordinator for 10yrs and have worked with children all my life. Through these experiences I have learned the different personalities, character, and learning styles of people of all ages. I try to find ways that would be most effective for each student by getting to know their interest, lifestyle, culture, and environment, and use illustrations, analogies that would be familiar to them. I’m down to earth and easy going but find a balance in order to achieve by working hard with my students by helping them enjoy what we’re learning. I love encouraging people and helping them see their strengths and worth. It is my goal in life to show people how valuable, capable, and skillful they really are or can be. I believe that the level of education of the children will determine the future of its nation and I would like to be a part of making it a successful one even if it ta

I love helping students find success in their educational experience. I am a very patient and easy-going person with lots of personality. I believe in positive reinforcement and in building individualized learning plans for each student. Incorporating humor and sarcasm into my teaching has always provided me with positive feedback from both parents and students. I use a lot of hands-on discovery and manipulatives in my teaching. My goal is to make students want to learn and to give them the tools to do so successfully. I come from a family of teachers and there was never any doubt which career I wanted to pursue as an adult. I have earned a bachelor degree in Elementary Education and have taken several enrichment courses over the past three years. I have taught both first and second grade but also have experience in fourth and fifth grade through student-teaching. I have attended

As a student I was an honors student who maintained an "A" average in high school, college, and in my masters program. Before earning a BS in Psychology, I completed two years as an Elementary Education major. Although I decided to focus my career as a therapist, I have utilized this education by becoming both a substitute teacher and tutor. My education has allowed me to hone my language,literature, mathematical, research and study skills. I have tutored various students in mathematics, statistics, social studies, English, and reading and comprehension. I believe that all children have the ability to succeed. The key is to allow a child to feel empowered to have mastery over the material. Often time teachers explain new material in only one way. As a tutor I strive to find your child's learning style to help them understand the material, and learn good study habits early. I am patient a

I recently graduated from the University of Colorado with a bachelor's degree in architecture which allowed me to be very understanding of math and science while also gaining a strong inclination to creativity.

I love helping students to become confident and successful in school. I believe that students must play an active role in their own education and it is my job to foster this through creating meaningful lessons to fit each student's life. My patient and enthusiastic nature helps students to feel comfortable in my presence. When a student realizes that he or she is capable of learning in a one-on-one setting, they become successful in the classroom as well. I graduated with a BS in Elementary and Kindergarten Education. While attending college, I gained experience as a mentor and a teacher. I have worked with different age groups in a variety of settings. I volunteered for Big Brothers/Big Sisters of America and for the PA Literacy Corps tutoring ESL adult learners. I refined my English grammar through writing essays and research papers.

I started tutoring in NYC when I was a junior in high school. I tutored a sixth grader and an eighth grader, and helped them with all of their homework. In addition, I created my own problem sets for them to furthur practice their skills. Currently, I tutor student athletes at UNLV. I tutor a wide range of subjects such as psychology, computers, math, and biology. I have excellent writing skills due to the many research papers that I have had to write throughout my college career. I believe that since English was not my first language, I am particularly able to attune to the grammatical rules that I learned in school. I am also fluent in Spanish. My teaching style is somewhat relaxed so that I can encourage my students to open up. When I first begin tutoring someone I let them do things their way rather than tell them how to do something. Then, I tell them that if their method i
