Because tutoring places the individual student at center stage I want to provide the student with learning opportunities they would not normally have in a classroom environment. I do this in several ways. First, I emphasize a three-step framework for learning which includes preliminary activities (warm-up, previewing knowledge), internalization (selecting and personalizing input) and reviewing (self-test, performance activities). Second, I work with the student to develop a basket of hands-on techniques and strategies that relate to each phase. I want students to understand what works for them and learn to make or find the support they need. Finally, I work with the student to develop and expand their own plan of attack for various learning tasks. I want them to walk away with the confidence to tackle new material and difficult assignments. My undergraduate major in political science com

I am a firm believer in starting out and "listening critically" to a child's specific needs. Tuturing gives one an opportunity to focus on your student's weakness and devise strategies as to how best to assist in strengthening those areas. Children love attention and if given the motivation, will shine in due time. My goal is to listen, be collaborative with both the children as well as the parents in order to provide the best instruction and assistance possible. I am easy to get along with and have no difficulty in getting children/students alike to open up. I look forward to being of service. I am truly passionate about teaching and instruction of any kind. Born in Manchester, England, I have taught English, French and Math to students in England, France and the United States respectively during summer school as well as part of a National Service program.

With over sixty months' experience at the US Department of State, I have seen firsthand bureaucratic morass gone wild. From lengthy "informational" sessions, to quotidian meetings held just for the sake of holding meetings, public bureaucrats waste taxpayers' dollars and time, in the process doing all of us a disservice. As a result of these efforts, the US Department of State recognized my organizational and managerial skills by awarding me with a Meritorious Award, in addition to the aforementioned Award for Corporate Excellence. Merely listing my fluency in foreign languages (English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Greek, Russian, Arabic, Portuguese, and Amharic) does not do justice to the hours—nay, years!—involved in learning them, nor does it fully capture my natural gift for—and dedication to—mastering the linguistic intricacies of each language.

I have a passion for learning and for sharing knowledge. I am passionate about the sciences, which is the reason I completed a BS in Biomedical Sciences and a MS in Molecular Medicine. I greatly enjoy working with children of all ages, and have experience tutoring my cousins and other students in subjects of science & math throughout their high school years.

It has given me immense satisfaction in watching them learn & grow over these years, as they gear up to begin their college life. I have also been holding the position of a catechist in my church for the past 3 years, rendering lessons in faith formation to highly inquisitive first graders.

Most rewarding for a teacher is seeing the difference she makes in her students’ lives. When I began teaching to smaller groups and individual students, I realized how dynamic personal attention is to the learning process. I saw this when teaching AP students and providing them with personal “essay reviews.” “She’s talking to me. She’s showing me. She really cares.” And I do. I so enjoy working one on one with learners. The personal dialogue is invaluable to learning. Would that the education system could provide such a service to all students. At this point in my ongoing career in education, I want nothing more than to share my expertise with students who need personal attention. The rewards continue… My career in teaching and counseling has covered several regions of the USA and international work in two foreign countries. Besides teaching in a classroom setting, I have enjoy

My style of teaching is akin to coaching: I seek to pull out the best in each student while focusing on their ultimate goal. I feel the most success when I can see my students get better at what they try to accomplish. To get there, I maintain a very friendly approach and create a non threatening, positive attitude. I emphasize a students centered environment from which either an individual student or a group of students can feel they constructively participate in each effort. I love teaching for what I am able to impart, but also for what I learn each time students help me discover new techniques, new ways to improve knowledge. I taught for 11 years at the University of Florida as a visiting lecturer. During that time I developed and implemented a three level course to teach Haitian language to graduate and undergraduate students for Center for Latin American Studies, African and Asian

I find teaching to be an enriching field that allows me the creativity and flexibility to allow necessary adjustments to the core curriculum based on the student or group of students learning abilities and styles. Every student has a different strength in which they are able to learn, and I believe as a teacher, it is important to recognizes these differences and be able to adjust or adapt to change in a short notice. The end result of an effective lesson plan can bring great reward in terms of a student’s success. As a teacher, I believe that the success of the student should always be the primary focus in the work of an educator, no matter what learning level or background the student has. In a little under two years, I have spent my teaching experience abroad, splitting time between contract work in South Korea and Costa Rica as an English Language Instructor of both Elementary and Ad

I have a great interest in accounting. My study has provided me with ample knowledge of accounting as well as sharpened my analytical and logical reasoning skills. I have had 2 years tutoring computer applications while in school and enjoyed it greatly. I believe the best way to learn is to teach and the best way to teach is to learn. As we alternate between these roles, we all grow together. I am well versed, patient and easy going. I think each individual has their own aptitude and tendency but if the teacher, with humor and practical experience, can encourage and challenge the student to think independently and bring the student to the next level, any subject can become interesting and useful to the student. Also, my goal is to bring education close to the real world, so the student, besides succeeding in school and make good grades, also has a solid practical background contrib
