My comments on tutoring Entrance Exams : Exams all come down to prep and organization!

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.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a wide range of teaching experience with K-12 students who have difficulty learning in a mainstream classroom. My academic background consists of a M.A.T. in Elementary Education, a B.A. in Audiology, and seven credit hours in graduate coursework. I have a valid Florida teaching license. My work history includes being a EDEP group leader and substitute teacher for Volusia County School District, teaching first grade, and working as a teacher of the hearing impaired and speech assistant for K-12 students in several public school systems.
My teaching style addresses each student as an individual with unique abilities and strengths. I believe that it is important to create a positive learning environment for the child and instill a "can-do" attitude. I approach the teaching of a difficult concept by evaluating the child's current level of knowledge and using task analysis ... read more

I like to believe that anyone can learn and understand anything. All it takes is a good teacher and effort. I like to work through a similar problem to the one the student is having a hard time with. Once he or she understands the similar problem, I then ask them to do their problem. If they still have trouble I refer back to the similar problem. Once they have correctly done their problem, we do another problem just like it. We repeat this process until they understand how to do the problems and better yet, understand the concepts and why you do certain things in a particular order to get the correct solution.

With a lifelong interest in math and science, I received a B.S. in Physics and a B.S. in Astrophysics/Astronomy. Numerous lab reports and multimedia presentations have developed my technical writing skills, but also have experience with critical and analytical writing. I have utilized my background to tutor students in math and sciences as well as music, even assisting teachers in coming up with interdisciplinary projects to relate concepts in math and physics.
I have been working with elementary through high school students for the last few years and am able to relate to many age groups. I try to link the subject matter to things that the students are interested in so that they not only understand what they're learning but also gain an interest to learn more and help them stay focused. I give students clues to help them figure out problems by breaking them into smaller pieces rat ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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.

During my 13 years in the Navy, I have always excelled in my academics and I welcomed the opportunity to serve as a mentor to my peers as well as subordinates.

I was introduced to business and accounting in high school and it was then that I considered a career in this area. Both my undergraduate and graduate education have not only given me a certain set of skills, but has also helped me to understand my field of interest, as well as my academic strengths and weaknesses. This interest in tutoring started when I was in high school and developed during my undergraduate program when I tutored other classmates in accounting. I have a bachelor degree in business management and two master degrees, master of art finance and a master in business administration (MBA).

My teaching style is centered around patience and guiding a student through the journey of understanding a concept. There is nothing more rewarding than when "the light bulb turns on" for the student. I believe in hard work and taking the time to be sure the student understands the concept, not just working through a set of steps (especially as it relates to accounting and finance).
Since completing my Bachelor's degree in Finance, most of my experience has been in a professional environment. I have extensive experience in accounting/finance related functions. As it relates to teaching, I volunteered through a program called HOSTS(Helping One Student To Succeed) for 2 plus years. The program's focus was to teach elementary age students in Math and Reading. This was truly one of the most rewarding and fulfilling experiences of my life which has peake my interest in this partic ... read more

I love teaching, and working with students. Everyone can learn, and the educator is ultimately responsible to providing multiple styles of learning for students to discover and connect to learning. Tutorial enrichment through remediation is most important for students to grasp and exhibit mastery over certain strands and goals. However, students learn by movement, doing, hearing, seeing, and repeating. It is also essential to "know thy students" and provide a holistic approach so that students can be given many approaches to the learning experience.
I have been teaching in the classroom for about 16 years. Areas of teaching experience has been Language Arts, History, Geography, and now Personal Character Development to High School Seniors about to graduate. I have also tutored in every subject listed above. I simply love to teach, and am very good at it. It, I believe, is a ... read more

Teaching has always been one of my greatest passions. I don't believe in "lost causes" when it comes to education. My goal is to help each student reach his potential. I will try many different approaches to help my students understand the material. I want each student to develop a life long passion for learning and value their education.
For three years I have tutored students in mathematics on a variety of ability levels. I also received a bachelors of science in mathematics.

I believe in multiple intelligences and thus, I see that students always have the potential to succeed through many different ways. And by tapping his/her learning style, a good teacher will definitely be able to help him grow and grasp as much knowledge as he wishes to achieve. I consider myself a patient and open minded educator; creative and resourceful so as not to look only on the sole box of a four-sided classroom as the only tool to learn. With imagination and constructivism, education would be very fulfilling to any individual who seeks to learn.
