Psychology Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in North Scituate, RI

Hello Students and Parents, I would like to offer my unique skills as a doctoral candidate in clinical psychology who specializes in working with children with developmental disabilities (e.g., autism, down syndrome), learning challenges (e.g., ADD, ADHD, anxiety), and medical diagnoses (e.g., diagnoses affecting sleep, attention, processing speed, school attendance). I have worked with children in their homes, in hospitals, in community clinics, and in schools. I have also worked with many teens and would be happy to tutor those who are older and looking for some extra help. My unique contribution is that, in addition to sharing knowledge and study skills, I am trained to help children regulate difficult emotions like frustration or hopelessness or embarrassment, overcome fears and anxieties, find and maintain motivation, improve self-esteem, and use creative problem solving to maxi

I have worked within a wide expanse of teaching environments, from small group settings and classroom teaching (including lecture-based learning), down to individualized, one-on-one sessions. I have an arsenal of old exams, pre-made practice exams, and enough problemsets to keep you occupied until retirement, and am determined to help each student achieve the best possible suite of study skills, conceptual mastery, and critical thinking that will allow him/her to succeed. I graduated from Binghamton University (SUNY) in 2008 with a double degree in Linguistics (B.A.) and Neuroscience (B.S.). After working as a behavioral neuroscience research technician for nearly two years, I pursued a position in 2010 at Cornell University within their Behavioral and Evolutionary Neuroscience program.

Having had the opportunity to attend Rhode Island College, I was able to learn the most current and effective tools for classroom teaching. I earned my BS in Elementary Education and have had much experience in the classroom teaching various subjects ranging from Science and Math to Social Studies and Reading. In addition I have also had the opportunity to teach overseas in China for a summer, where my students learned English and Communication skills. All of these vast and diverse experiences add to my pedagogy and create a greater dynamic to my teaching style. Lastly during my student teaching I had the opportunity to work in an inclusion classroom where I learned how to adapt my teaching styles to the various needs of different level learners, which was an invaluable opportunity for me. I love teaching and helping students to achieve their education goals. I like to make learning me

My tutoring practice employs the Socratic method to help students help themselves become better writers, self-editors, and critical thinkers. I do not take a red pencil to their work and "fix it" for them. I do not put words into their mouths to then put into their pens. Their voices remain their own. A strong tutor welcomes and encourages this ownership and self-expression while teaching at the same time. A strong tutor also provides steady, patient guidance and gentle correction, but true learning takes place when students "see the light" for themselves -- a direct result of the collaborative effort involved in the tutoring experience. I discovered the reward of helping others learn as a high school tutor. Later, as an English major, I tutored in our university's Writing Center. After graduation, I was asked to continue as a tutor/writing consultant for eleven more years.

While earning my bachelor's degree from Brown University, I taught middle school math and upper school English for two summers at Cushing Academy. My students varied widely in terms of previous experience and motivation, and I strove to approach each at his or her level and to think of each of them as individuals, never just a member of a homogeneous classroom. Last year, I taught middle school music at the Dana Hall School; some of my students had never played an instrument or sung in a choir, while others had years of experience. From this experience I greatly improved my ability to work with middle schoolers. I also tutored adults preparing for the GRE. The math section of this test covers primarily algebra and geometry, and my experience at Cushing had prepared me to find an approach to each subject suited to the student. I believe the key to good teaching is understanding the s

I believe that being a coach, and mentor is the best way to teach children. I think that "hands on" training, or "on the job" training is the best way to learn. This is mostly true throughout our entire lives. Providing guidance, and answering questions rather than doing the work for them. I have been working in a corporate environment for over 20 years, giving presentations, writing reports, and corresponding with all levels of management with success. I am proficient with all Microsoft Office applications. I have tutored and assisted my own step-sons in their High School projects over the last three years, and their grades were always exemplary.

Developmental, behavioral, and educational psychology have been a few of the courses that I have excelled in. I am currently a member of the Psychology Club at the University of Rhode Island.

I am proficient in APA style and can provide any help with such type of writing and citing style. My teaching philosophy and style is to make sure the student comprehends the basics of any subject before starting any further or advance work. I find that in the sciences, f

With normal class size groups... the goal is to provide a lesson with real educational content but to deliver it in a totally entertaining format... usually organizing the students into groups to a) provide support for the challenged and b) excitement for the total class as each group competes against the others. one-on-one teaching requires that the objective(s) be well established and then carefully focus on the individual student's best learning method, be it: verbal, written, reading, hands-on, or all of the above. In general a good teacher will be well planned and offers a delivery which teaches in concentrated bursts, with a brief break every 20 minutes. Over 20 years of engineering experience, primarily, automated electronic test for manufacture of electronics.

Ever since I was a young child, my interest in Mathematics has been profound. Mathematics is much more than a class subject; I have interwoven mathematics as an integral (no pun intended) part of my life since I was a toddler. In High school I was frequently participating in Calculus competitions, at which I received two 1st prize awards and wide recognition. My high school teachers noted my skill in mathematics and invited me to become a math tutor in their department. I now attend Lyndon State College as a double major in Meteorology and Pure Mathematics; after two years, I am proudly the head tutor at the Math Lab. It is truly rewarding to tutor students who are struggling, and I hope to become a part of your team. The key to teaching Mathematics is to let the student discover the Math through leading questions and enthusiastic teaching methods. Many teachers neglect to embrace the be
