My comments on tutoring Testing Strategies : Guess? Not guess? Skip questions? What if I am always running out of time on a test? Are there clues in the question that can help me eliminate answers? What if I am just a bad test taker - or I get too nervous to do well... I will show you how. If I am qualified in the test you are taking, I'd love to help. Results don't lie. Please take a look at the reviews left for me here -- https://www.wyzant.com/Tutors/mathzap -- to see if I would be a good fit for you. You can message me here or there to confirm that is really me. I'd love to hear from you!

My goal is to connect with the student at THEIR level. We start by going over the basics of problem solving and work from there to foster independent thinking. I use varied approaches when the student is "stuck." I am friendly, patient and very persistent. I can assist with classwork and homework, and will tailor tutoring sessions to your needs. I will assign supplemental work to advance in the subject area as needed or desired. My ultimate goal - to work myself out of a job!

My comments on tutoring Testing Strategies : Over the years I have studied both the way in which I have strategized when taking tests and the way others have. These strategies will help you reach optimal competency in your testing approach.

I have been immersed the field of interpreting since 2008. Having graduated out of Bloomsburg University in 2012, over the last two years I have been professionally interpreting in three states and in various fields. My work ranges from public school classes, college lectures, medical appointments, religious sermons, platform events and government assignments. Regularly, I attend different workshops and Deaf events around the community to keep up with my skills and to continue learning the ever changing language of ASL.
Start with the basics. Assess what level the student is at and then work that into a more challenging structure to pertain to what the student would like to accomplish.

Teaching and School Counseling Services In One Place!

I have been a teacher for the last fifteen years. I teach social studies, but my specialization is teaching argumentative (college level) writing.I have done plenty of SAT prep and tutoring for students at the high school and college level. I am also a school counselor and can offer a vast array of services including FASFA, Naviance/Common Application and college/career counseling.
My style of education is to teach by modeling. Students need to see things in a step-by-step format with instructions, followed by an immediate example. I also provide sample argumentative essays for students who learn by seeing a complete model. My counseling style is to work with students, first by building a rapport and then using that as the foundation to get a feel for their college/career interests. I then look at their grades to help them build a custom transitional plan into early adulthood.

Experienced tutor available

My engaging style is evident at the start of each tutoring session. I show my students by personal example how to persevere and succeed in academics and in life. For the past 15 years, I have been a full-time tutor for students in grades 1-12. I am a graduate of Wesleyan University with an emphasis in physical and cultural anthropology and an ongoing fascination with the study of prehistoric human societies. Presently, I use my diverse experience as a tutor, copy editor and radio news broadcaster to make each tutoring session truly memorable for my students. My students quickly see how much I care for their progress and success. I consider tutoring to be much more than just a profession, but a way to provide others with needed assistance. It is this goal, when met, which provides me with my greatest satisfaction as an educator.

More About This Tutor...

I am currently self-employed as a computer software trainer. My practice includes clients as well as groups. As part of my work, I'm currently an adjunct professor at 2 local community colleges. I'm also a Sunday school teacher at my local congregation. I've been doing this for many years. My classes over the years have ranged from K-6th grade. I thoroughly enjoy it and it's fair to say I get more than I give. Finally, I also teach adult ed as part of my business. My catalog includes not only computer courses but also piano, voice, guitar, and songwriting, as well as any other courses that I feel confident in teaching. I'm also a musician and believe in music, where possible, as part of my teaching philosophy.
People who've seen me teach describe me as relaxed, focused, and funny. For better or worse (I like to think better), I believe in age appropriate humor as part of an ove ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have four semesters of calculus, numerous chemistry, physics, engineering, computer science, statistics, finance, accounting, marketing, management, and liberal arts courses. I also have a temporary CT teaching certificate for secondary education math.
I believe any student is capable of learning any subject when they are taught in a gentle and patient manner. It is important to help the student gain confidence with the subject and to build his self-esteem. As the student increases his knowledge and problem-solving abilities his confidence and curiosity will also increase. Learning will become a lifetime pursuit.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a graduate from Albertus Magnus College and my concentration was in Child Development. Most of my education included studying the child's brain and how it develops and learns. Studying child development has become essential to my practice as a teacher in the early childhood and primary grade levels. For my masters program I have studied and focused primarily on teaching techniques for reading and writing. I have tutored students on reading and writing. I am currently teaching Pre K for 7 years now and have worked with/interned with Kindergarten, First, and Second grade teachers. Next year, I am going to be teaching third grade full time.
I enjoy working with children and getting to know them and their learning styles. Each child learns in different ways and I like to focus on using a variety of methods. Some children are more visual learners, while others are auditory learners ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Personally, I am a firm believer in the constructivist, or active learning theory. I view myself as a facilitator, presenting opportunities for students to bridge material to their own lives through personal experiences and interactions. By supporting this theory, I place the responsibility on the student as the one who must take initiative in his or her own learning, as each child brings an entirely unique perspective and experience to the classroom. By acknowledging students’ diverse backgrounds as context through which students navigate in order to construct meaning, I allow for multiple viewpoints and interpretations of content. Constructivist theory also promotes active dialogue and peer collaboration as students internalize outside ideas, whether they be newly represented in a text or by an alternate perspective of a fellow classmate. Content, no matter the subject area, must beco ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As an undergraduate at NYU, I earned that extra spending money by tutoring Latin. As my customer base grew, I branched out into mathematics and general study skills. After college I went to Europe to earn an MA in Linguistics. Upon return, I immediately began a PhD program, and I used my previous experience in a number of side jobs teaching English as a second language. Over the past 4 years I have tutored several individuals in English focusing mostly on grammar and writing skills. Several of my students have gone on to graduate degrees at Ivy League institutions such as Columbia and Yale Universities.
I love teaching people of all ages. My easy going demeanor and enthusiastic attitude have allowed me to make a strong connection with all my students. This connection is crucial because I have a what I believe is a traditional teaching style which emphasizes organization and ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I received my BS in civil engineering from a liberal arts university in Boston, MA ranked among the Top 30 universities in the nation, according to US News. My well-rounded education gave me the skills to communicate mathematical ideas and science concepts to any audience, including children. Now I am pursuing a masters degree in secondary math education in hopes of engaging and inspiring students to gain a better understanding of mathematics, and thus build their overall self-confidence. As an engineering student, I had experience empowering students by leading and working at science camps and tutoring at local elementary schools through a literacy corps.
I take a creative approach to learning and cater to each student's unique learning style. I assess their knowledge base, and I make learning fun by explaining and developing ideas in a way they prefer and in a way they best learn ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

(Re: one-on-one tutoring)--My teaching style is adapted to the learning style, level, and age of an individual student and is attuned to the sensitivities and personalities of those with whom I interact. First I identify the challenges of the subject to be taught and the ability and knowledge the student has already acquired. I choose the best resources to use and the best method of communicating about the subject with the student. If it's English, I'd work with them to practice using tools for reading comprehension (highlighting key passages, summarizing key concepts, predicting plot developments, relating their experiences to those of characters, etc.) and for writing (outlining, structuring material, etc.). In general, I create an enjoyable dynamic learning environment and use the benefits of rapport to accelerate the achievement of goals. I like to engage students' curiosity, i ... read more

I am a determined, enthusiastic, and highly motivated teacher, who wants their students to grow academically, socially, and emotionally in an atmosphere that is stimulating and adaptive to their diverse needs. My expectations for my students are high, and by the end of the school year students realize that they can achieve any goal set before them. Geographical and cultural experiences throughout my travels have helped me to become flexible in my teaching, while perfecting high organizational standards and skills. It takes more than a single individual to make a difference in the lives of a class of students. Therefore, I have learned the value of being a team player and the importance of communicating with colleagues, parents, and administrators so that I will be able to provide the best education possible for my students. I believe that my energy, education, and experience combine to ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have obtained a Bachelor's degree in psychology from Western New England College and a Master's degree from the University of New Haven. While I worked at the University of New Haven, I was a Graduate Learning Assistant in the Disability Services office where I tutored and advised many students with various learning disabilities. I tutored students in numerous subjects such as psychology, math, science and history. While attending school, I have had to write many research papers and reports that have helped me gain an understanding of writing procedures and grammatical skills needed to succeed.
As a psychology major I understand that all children have a different way of learning. It is a challenge in the classroom to provide instruction for multiple students with multiple ways of learning. I believe that with the assistance a student receives from tutoring, no matter what age ... read more
