More About This Tutor...

I basically teach according to what the students like or is familiar with (art, sport, etc.) and I utilize what they're good at with the subject matter. For instance, if a student is into baseball, I teach math using scoring method, countries where players are from for social studies, speed of running, throwing, etc. for teaching science, and so on. With the younger students, I oberve them during choice time or free play and document what areas they are attracted to the most, how they interact with each other and their conversations. I use the data to help me develop and strenghten the abilities they exhibit.

My comments on tutoring Speaking : Former video producer/director, helped hundreds of people improve their speaking skills

Easy-going, enthusiastic, like to discuss strategy, have client implement, then discuss results
My entire career has been spent in communications: video, radio, copywriting, PR, marketing... I love to help people learn to use communication effectively, especially when used to market themselves, their businesses, or causes they believe in. Yet, I don't consider myself an "expert" because there is always more to learn!

More About This Tutor...

I began teaching 22 years ago at a middle school and later taught high school when I relocated to the beach. I also tutored at a local community college. The most rewarding aspect of teaching and tutoring is when the lightbulb goes off at the crucial point of understanding in the student's mind. I have a Bachelor of Science in Education and a Masters Degree in Human Resource Management and School Leadership. Furthermore, I have 67 additional education credits pertaining to teaching, tutoring, communication and human resources. I feel it's important to stay abreast of current educational trends, research and developments which ultimately affect the teaching style and learning effectiveness of the individuals involved.
Each student is unique. Therefore, I use a variety of teaching styles, strategies, methods and techniques depending on the individual's needs and abilities. A ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I started my teaching career as a Teach For America corps member in Atlanta, Georgia, where I taught sixth grade language arts at Crawford Long Middle School. Most recently, I had the honor of teaching at KIPP: LEAD College Prep Charter School in Gary, Indiana. I previously held Language Arts Certificates (6-12) in both Georgia and Indiana. I also have experience tutoring college freshmen in an introductory college writing seminar.
Teaching was never a job for me, but rather a way to practice a passion. I believe that every child possesses the ability to learn and it is the responsibility of educators to cultivate such talent and foster growth. I believe in helping students reach their potential by teaching them to pose and answer questions about the world around them. My classroom was a place where children were excited about learning. I made sure to convey my love of the English ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have both practical and conceptual understanding of mathematics as I have tutored kids and taught mathematics at a high school level. In addition, I have certifications in biology, chemistry, physics, and computer science. I like making connections among different subjects and providing practical examples as the situation warrants. I get a lot of satisfaction when students grasp a new concept. It makes my day!
My tutoring style is eclectic so I can reach each student with an unique insight that will help that student understand a concept or solve a problem. Once I get to know how a student thinks, I work with his/her strengths and try to compensate the student's weaknesses by working at his/her level and then bringing the student to a level where he/she needs to be.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that teaching is the most important profession in the world. Not only do I have the opportunity to shape young people’s minds and make them future leaders, I have the responsibility to do my best to assure their success. Student success should not only be evaluated through academic achievement but also personal growth. The most important job for a facilitator is to create meaningful discussions that encourage subject mastery and an opportunity for students to learn from their peers.
As an educator at all levels, I am interested in helping students achieve their fullest potential. This is accomplished by providing opportunities for students to learn through their preferred method of instruction. Whether a student is in kindergarten or graduate school, it is the teachers job to facilitate and guide him/her to success. I am qualified to teach elementary and middle school ... read more
