You already have all the materials you need to succeed.

I encourage others and want them to do their best, the teaching style is all dependent upon your learning style. for example, I am bodily kinesthetic, which means I learn best by doing-acting, dancing, writing, flashcards, sports, etc. Learning styles are Aural or hearing, visual-seeing, smell, or touch or doing-bodily kinesthetic.

A Little Bit About Me...

I first find out your true objective for learning the material. Is it a requirement and not in your field of study so you just want to pass the class or is this a part of your passion or career and really want to know the nuts and bolts of the subject. I will adjust accordingly and make out a plan. I will also figure out the best way to teach you the material and from there we will have a plan to accomplish the targeted goal.
I have a lot of experience not only in fields that you may need help learning, but I also spent time during college tutoring classmates as I was in the class and developed a style to help students learn quickly and also reinforce the concepts. I understand the student to determine the best learning style for you and I make the transformation teaching you the material in an effective manner.

A Little Bit About Me...

After I got my BA and Illinois secondary school certification, I pursued my MFA in Playwriting at the University of Utah. I forged a career as a writer and journalist. My liberal education in history and the arts deeply benefited me. Since 1990, I've been a full-time editor for several daily newspapers and magazines, and I continue a profitable freelance writing career. I taught for Loyola University, New Orleans, and two business colleges, and currently teach the composition, computer applications, and speech requirements for a local branch of Kaplan University -- a private business school.
At Loyola University, as director of the Writing Lab, I used peer tutoring and computers to assist students in the composition classes. I developed a love for tutoring and remediation -- for the student who needs one-on-one instruction. I allow the student to be successful. Every lesson must en ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a graduate in the field of Education, I have found my true passion in helping students reach their goals and achieve success. I have been working with children in different capacities from the preschool environment to the K-12 level, including working with students with developmental disabilities. Last school year I worked tutoring students who produced low test scores in order to help them raise their achievement test scores. I really enjoyed watching the students raise their comprehension skills in various areas such as; math, language arts, reading, phonics, etc. I believe my extensive background working with the youth of today would make me a great candidate to join your company!
Through my experiences working with children, I have learned to adapt my teaching styles to fit each students' individual needs. Many students learn through visual and tactile means, where as o ... read more

All ages can benefit from tutoring. I enjoy working with children, teens, and adults. I have a good sense of humor and encourage students to view the world from different angles. I am persistent and determined which means I do not give up on anyone. Learning can be entertaining and that is the best way to inspire a student to go forward with enthusiasm.
My teaching experience has been in the corporate world, where I was responsible for training and teaching employees both basics and advanced techniques in the broadcast field of advertising. My success was in preparing them for an expanded career, and many of those that I mentored over the years remain in prominent positions at some of the world's largest advertising agencies. I have excellent writing skills and interpersonal skills, am very reliable, and very organized.

A Little Bit About Me...

All students can learn, but in different ways. I, for one, learn best by watching how something is done. I can read about it, or hear a lecture about it, but seeing it helps me understand the subject. This type of teaching would be done with movies, drawing or acting out the situation. In my teaching, I try to use all methods available to me to help the students learn and to use their creativity. I especially try to get students to work in groups and to share their work with each other. I find that pier groups provide the best help in understanding the subject matter. The classroom should be a learning place of activities and fun.

I started teaching tennis to juniors at the age of 16. I enjoyed that very much. For close to 10 years I taught at a country club in Connecticut. During my time there I did not focus on winning, but our record went from 0-7 to 7-0. I attribute this to the power of positive teaching. After I completed Loyola University MD, I went into B2B Corporate sales, where I was successful, but my passion remained with teaching. Recently I was a PE Coach at a school, and I started an after school program for tennis and golf for the children.
My teaching style is modeled after the Princeton Method, which is the way that I was taught to teach tennis. The Princeton method focuses on the positive. So instead of saying "don't skip the hesitation for a period mark", I would say "remember to hesitate in between sentences".

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a seasoned professional with over twenty years of experience divided among the fields of law, educational recruiting, and teaching at the college level. After completing my bachelor's degree at USC, I earned my law degree. Because my passion is literature, I opted to teach rather than pursue a career in law. I was offered a position heading up the remedial studies program at the Art Institute in Santa Ana. This position afforded me the opportunity to teach and tutor students who were struggling with their English skills. I also served as an adjunct professor at Brown Mackie College, where I taught students pursuing their associates degrees in paralegal and business.
I find the most useful way to instill knowledge is to reach that place where the student sees practical value in what he or she is learning. I always knew when the moment hit by the expressions on my students' ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Over the past 3 years, I have assisted students with very different personalities. Some were excited to receive the help while others were embarrassed to need it. My main goal when teaching is allowing each child to feel comfortable to ask questions. I like to get students excited to learn that way they feel accomplished once they understand the subject. I feel providing a positive attitude along with patience and a genuine love for teaching can allow any student to do extremely well. I like to find the learning style of each child that I mentor or tutor so I can find the best method to help them learn. I can provide your student with a positive outlook on learning. I have a desire to help make a difference in our education system.
I am a very goal oriented person and expect those around me to posses the same quality. I have a great deal of patience, a positive attitude and I love ... read more
