inclusion settings. I have been working since November 2012 for the MANSEF schools, where, even at my young age, am currently the most senior educator at my Level 5 institution, Youth in Transition. In addition to mastering the use of Smart Board in my lesson plans, I have taken the lead in assessing the behavior management point system for the entire school. I manage behaviors as they arise and do my best to deescalate the students whenever possible. Furthermore, I am well-versed in how to interact with parents to ensure they understand their children’s progress are reinforcing the classroom lessons at home.

More About This Tutor...

I help my students to ask questions about why something is this way or that way. It is not as simple as just memorizing subject matter in order to regurgitate it for the upcoming test. The purpose of teaching is to help others understand something that is known as true.
I was on honor roll in high school on a consistent basis. My best subjects were English and Writing. I attended Pennsylvania State University for Communications with a focus on English Writing and the study of Film and Media Arts. I have a thorough understanding of the English language and a strong knack for comprehension. I believe that I would be able to teach my techniques for not just memorizing subject matter but for comprehending and understanding it.

More About This Tutor...

I worked with a variety of ages from k-12. My most recent experience has been with students in elementary school. I worked for a semester teaching children about sustainable practices and the benefits of buying produce from local farms. While I am most comfortable with high school students, I have great communication skills and can work well with all children.
I am willing to tailor my teaching style to the needs of the individual(s). However, I prefer to add an interactive element to all of my lessons.

Individualized learning/teaching for optimal comprehension

I started tutoring in my teens helping young children with Autism Spectrum Disorders develop English and Math skills as well as speech therapy and public speaking. I tutored my fellow students while attending Carroll Community College in English 101 and 102 as well as Creative Writing. I then moved on to being a one on one with high school students with special needs in the Baltimore area.
I take a hands on material approach to learning/teaching. I feel that young students learn best when they can physically learn, such as through blocks/puzzles/interactive learning devices and other similar approaches. I try to let the student use their hands as much as I can to aid in their learning process. For older students such as my high school students or their college counterparts I use more direct audial teaching and visual teaching styles. Every person learns differently, so I cater my t ... read more

My comments on tutoring Sociology : 85% proficiency - understanding of terms, concepts, theories, and structural models (Conflict theory - Functional theory - Durkheim and Wundt)

I am a developmental educator who teaches more child centered educational approach; I believe more in assessment driven lesson plans because they produce dynamic as well as updated results.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe it is important to find every child's unique learning style and use that tho help them reach their potential. I am patient and willing to approach a subject from multiple angles to ensure success. My college was a constructivist school and I have included this style into my teaching. Discovery learning helps a child understand why skills are important. My goal is to help my students reach their full potential.
I hold a bachelor degree in Elementary Education from Towson University where I interned for two years in both urban and suburban settings. During my college years, I was a biology and history tutor. After graduation, I taught mathematics to children at risk of failing. Currently, I teach reduction reading and mathematics in an inclusive setting.

I have trained students in a laboratory, restaurant and in the home. I graduated from college with honors and have succeeded in statistics, algebra 2, calculus 1, biology 1, chemistry 1, English literature, professional writing, civics, sketching/painting and classical guitar
It's imperative to listen and understand a students challenges. Reviewing their previous work and giving a current test is a good indicator of the situation. I believe in practice and examples as the clearest path to success. I don't hand deliver answers and I make the process towards answers engaging. I make sure the time and place are conducive to active and non-distractive learning. I relay the importance and relevance of the material. I recap previous lessons and try to integrate them into current assignments. I always value and respect people and expect the same of my students.

I currently have two degrees: a B.S. in Environmental Science and a B.A. in Global Studies. In pursuing these degrees I have gained knowledge in various fields including biology, math, chemistry, global politics and economics, Spanish language and culture, and history. Additionally, I have worked for the past three years at a summer camp where I was the Art instructor for children ages 6 to 16; as such I have experience interacting with children of all ages. Finally, for the past two summers I have travelled to Kenya and Peru to work with underprivileged children - these experiences have made me comfortable working with children from all different backgrounds and have taught me the value of education worldwide.
My teaching style emphasizes the differences between children, especially with regards to learning styles. Different children comprehend and understand in unique ways - ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Any subject can be difficult to master. Each of us brings something different to learning. A tutor may enjoy spectacular success in the short term by applying behavior management principles. I believe that a student’s long- term interests are best served where trust and pleasure in individual differences are established. The teacher’s challenge, as I understand it, is to weave what fires the imagination of the student into the process. Building a birdhouse may, for example, be the portal to the world of geometry. When subject matter is personally meaningful, it is intrinsically interesting and learning is exciting. The inspired student develops lifelong competence.

As a recent college graduate of Savannah College of Arts and Design, I have extensive experience with writing skills, leading and directing project based assignments and writing research papers, essays and critiques in my field. The varied classload I carried during my 4 years has more than prepared me for a tutoring position as I feel that all of my experiences with writing, psychology, various design and film communication art classes give me the skillset required to help students achieve their educational goals.
I am a demonstrative teacher and leader. I believe in the theory of "model, action, and talk" style of presentation of concepts. My creative background lends itself well to keeping a student's initiative and inspiration to a high level so that they are actually motivated to perform at their best.

When working with students my ultimate goal is for them to be able to explain the concepts to me. I usually start sessions with any questions they have, here is where I would explain concepts in terms easier to understand (usually methods I used when learning the material). Once they feel comfortable will ask them questions that range from simple plug and chug math problems, to more complex explanations. Even if the student tells me they don't know the answer I will ask them to try. I find most do know the answer or only need a little help to obtain it. This ultimately creates confidence which leads to better test scores.

I believe that all children can learn and should be educated in the least restrictive environment. Each child is different, with their own unique special qualities, talents and struggles. However, no matter what the difference, each child should be given the equal opportunities to accomplish all they were meant to accomplish in life. Not every student will grow up to become a lawyer or a doctor. Realistically some students will end up a trash man, dishwasher or janitor. Every child who walks through the doors of a school, whether ... read more

I graduated from high school as number eleven in rank out of 248. I often assisted other students in both high school and college. Later, as a homeschooling mother of four, I taught all of my children all subjects through the eighth grade level. I just returned from the island of Saipan, where I taught high school English in a private school, and seventh grade English in a public school. I presently am a certified substitute teacher in the Cumberland County, PA, public school system, where I teach almost all grade levels and subjects. I far prefer private tutoring over formal teaching, as I believe my abilities are put to their greatest use in that setting. I absolutely love working with students one-on-one. It's what I do best.
Because of my experience in teaching my own children, I have discovered that no child is too young to learn. Often people will not consider an infant or to ... read more
