Learning Can be Fun!

I like to allow the student to read the material once and clarity any areas that need more explanation. Then I will allow them to answer questions from the material read and help them where needed to choose the correct answer and understand the reason for the answers. I like to reward a certain level of correct answers with points that can be redeemed for interesting small prizes. I also consider myself very patient and interested in the student having a strong foundation for future learning.
I have tutored children in group and individual piano lessons. I have tutored them in math and social studies. I have spent over 20 years in business in the accounting field and prepared countless financial statements and income tax returns. I am skilled in all things mathematical. I also speak Spanish through over 9 years of instruction.

My comments on tutoring Political Science : One of the few classes I wish I could retake in college.

I have always approached a teaching lesson as a learning opportunity. Learning is a fundamental skill. If you don't have your basic fundamentals, your student will have difficulty advancing. So, I always start with basic fundamentals such as; note taking, study skills, and comprehension! All sciences demand the ability to link concepts together. Ex. cells make up tissues, tissues make up organs, organs make up organ systems,etc.....! By understanding the make-up of cellular structures and relating that to tissue functions the students can fully understand a subject. This proves true with all subjects. By impowering the student with good base fundamentals, my students find it easier to link concepts together.

More About This Tutor...

I actually don't have much experience as a tutor beyond helping classmates study, however throughout my experience in high school I've experimented with and adopted many avant-garde and unorthodox studying techniques and thought processes that have served gratuitously to my benefit, and I'm positive will serve yours as well.
I'm currently a senior attending Winter Park High School. I have a slew of education and extracurricular related accolades, and have been commended highly for my skills in writing (both creative and professional). My transcript has a long history of Advanced Placement courses and my standardized exam scores are impressive to say the least least (30 ACT, 1800 SAT, multiple AP Exam credits).

I believe that having an education is the most important component an individual can gain. I have educated individuals on a day to day basis throughout life in the areas of Science, Math, and English. I feel that you can never know too much and there is always something new to learn. Learning is an important way to gain experience in life. Everybody strives to learn something different, each learns at a different pace and level making them unique. I believe in being there for a child, listening to their needs, believing in their potential, never giving up, determination, and positive reinforcement. After all, education is the stepping stone in life that lets us succeed and become who we will be in the future.
The will to learn has driven me to obtain an AA degree in General Education, an AS degree in Respiratory Care, and a BS degree in Cardiopulmonary Science. I have been recogniz ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a teacher/instructor by nature. I do not believe there is but one method to solve any problem. I make every attempt to relate the use and application of math to the students’ real world environments and situations. I believe in the demonstration/performance method of instruction: explanation, demonstration, student performance and evaluation. My students are very aware that my goal is their success. The following is an extraction from a letter written on my behalf by a colleague: “I frequently teach students who have taken prerequisite math courses from Marc, and those students are always very well prepared and do very well. I respect his ability to adapt, innovate and succeed in the classroom. Beyond the classroom, Marc holds informal study sessions with students, generously giving his time to help students succeed. Marc genuinely enjoys teaching, cares about student su ... read more

I believe that effective teaching can only be communicated through genuine passion. In order to reach a student, you must begin by showing a concern for each student's success. In addition to establishing a concern, it is important to celebrate each success and address each opportunity with honest head-on coaching. I believe that a successful teacher employs adaptable teaching techniques and consistent classroom policy. Studies have proven that individuals favor one of their senses primarily in the learning process. An effective teacher will utilize formats that employ varying senses in order to reach a wider audience. As each challenge comes, a true teacher never gives up or loses hope with a student.
During my college education, I pursued a variety of academic areas. I accumulated substantial credit hours in English and Science. I have a very high competency in Math & Science a ... read more

I enjoy teaching other people. I know in my simple way I am helping them. I can adapt to other people's environment or show them a new way to approach some things. I understand that each individual has their own way on learning things and I respect that.
I spent four years of my college in the University of Santo Tomas, Philippines. I enjoyed helping my schoolmates. I joined the organization "Scholia" where we conducted tutoring for free to help our schoolmates with certain subjects.

I believe that each person is an individual and as such needs personalized help. Not everyone learns as the same rate,but given time and the proper reinforcement will learn. Students much be allowed to have a certain freedom to choose likes and strengths as well as weaknesses. We all have them! If the teacher can show the relevance to a student's life then the student will understand the "why" for learning. One on one as well as equal treatment will bring results. Some days you learn a lot and other days it just takes time.
I taught 7 years at the elementary level. My grades were 4,5,and 6 all subjects. I especially liked teaching English as I feel that if you can read you can understand anything.

A Little Bit About Me...

I teach by example, by first modeling my expectations or skill. Then letting the students model the skill with me. Then, I allow the students time to practice the skill. I believe the proper term is scaffolding. I am a direct teacher there is no misunderstanding in the messages or instruction that I convey. I am also a good listener and understand when a student is struggling. I have effectively taught reading to students and have brought up their ORF scores, comprehension scores, and vocabulary scores in a nine week period. I have done this with hard work, persistence, and determination on both my part and the students part.

A Little Bit About Me...

I began tutoring in college while I earned my degree in Sociology. I minored in Spanish, so I tutored other students for three years in college level Spanish. I also studied biology and chemistry for three years, which allowed me to teach high school science after graduating from college. In addition to teaching high school, I taught middle school Spanish for one year. I have tutored students for ten years in grades 2 through 12 in English, reading, language arts, science, math, social studies, research papers, and Spanish. I have also tutored college students in English, lower math levels, and Spanish.
I love tutoring one-on-one, and my experience has proven that this kind of academic attention can help every student succeed. I enjoy discovering which learning method works best for each individual student, and then helping that student make the most of his or her study time. One o ... read more

I believe teaching to be a matter of enablement. The student's immediate goal is to absorb and understand the material, and the teacher's is to make this understanding happen. The primacy of the student's process requires the teacher to mold his or her relationship to each student in subtly but unmistakably individual ways, so the same teaching personality appears to be different to different students. In my case, the approach I strive to extend to all students emphasizes patience in the face of difficulties and confidence that the student's short- and long-term goals, however difficult, are within reasonable reach.
