Fun and Loving Tutor!

I have tutored fellow classmates, and I have often helped my siblings and friends with homework. I have helped students with reading. I graduated high school with a 3.99 GPA, and I was the valedictorian of my sixth grade class. I won a spelling bee in fifth grade. I placed second in a spelling bee in eighth grade.
I teach in different ways depending on how the student learns best.

Sign Language! Special Needs! Literacy!

I have been a classroom teacher and a tutor for children, teens and adults who are deaf, hearing impaired, speech/language impaired, social/emotional impaired, cognitive delay, autistic, ADHD, etc. I have also taught early childhood children from birth. I can communicate using sign language and cued speech. I have experience teaching dyslexic children, teens and adults using the Orton-Gillingham philosophy. I am Pro-Literacy certified and I am a STAR certified trainer.
I am excited to teach and I enjoy designing individualized lessons based on the needs of the student. I hope to have fun and I hope you will enjoy learning.

English Comp, Sociology, History

I hold an MA in sociology with a minor in history. My primary focus in sociology is race and ethnicity, social theory, and political sociology. I am a current PhD student in history with a focus on European and Middle Eastern history. I also have over ten years experience teaching English language in the US and abroad.
You can expect my teaching style to be very interactive. I believe learning should not be done to you, but you should actively learn. Therefore, my approach is hands-on, not ears on!

i like to aproach the lesson with fun tactics so the student will be interested and paying attention.
i am a high school student. I have completed three years so far. I have always maintained A and B grades and recieved awards for attendance, grades, and extracurricular activities. I have always been bragged on about my personality, hard-work ethics, and ability to help others even when not asked. All my teachers have enjoyed having me in their class.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching philosophy and style is founded upon the belief that all children are brilliant and can succeed. My approach to teaching is highly individualized and targeted to meet a student's specific needs. If your child is struggling, I believe in figuring out the root of the problem, boredom, trouble reading or note-taking, learning style, and then finding strategies that address that difficulty directly. In teaching, I am patient, motivated, and fun. I like to make whatever I'm teaching come alive for the student. I want my students to understand that learning is a life-long process where they can explore the world; not something they are forced to do, but something that they get to do. So let's have some fun with it.
I have earned a bachelor’s degree in History and English, as well as a master’s degree in teaching. My educational background has given me a wide range of knowledg ... read more

The best way to describe my teaching style without being technical is to state that at teachers' college, I took the top prize in teaching technique after being observed in the classroom by two university professors. At the university level, I discovered that my classes were always full, and I discovered subsequently through the grapevine that the students were saying that "this guy is really funny; take his class, for you are going to learn through fun."
Teaching has been my career ever since I entered a primary classroom at age 16 and finished teaching graduate and undergraduate students. I was trained as a teacher at The Leewards Teachers' Training College (in Antigua), an affiliate of University of the West Indies (Jamaica). As a Primary and Secondary School teacher, I taught English Grammar, Mathematics, and the Social Sciences. Although I have strong mathematical skills, I pr ... read more

Education is more than valuable

I typically provide homework help,studying tips, and methods of memorization. My strength is in writing, proofreading, spelling and punctuation,grammar, and reading comprehension. Other skills include public speaking skills, presentation skills, and thinking through the problem in order to move past the problem. In most instances, the metbod to overcoming academic obstacles, the way to overcome is in your approach.
I usually review the assignments,its objectives,and apply reasoning to the work, so the end result makes more sense. It's easier to remember when it makes sense to you.

Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.

I don't use a lesson plan or guided lessons, I let the kids lead. They usually know what they need help on and if they can figure out what they are having problems with, then everything usually starts making sense. I usually keep my laptop with me, I refer to it if there is something I can't answer or figure out how to start drawing. I don't rely on it, but usually use it as a reference tool.
I've never actually tutored someone, but I am very good at relating with younger kids and High Schoolers. I was in band from 8th grade to 12th grade where I participated in the Front Ensemble section with keyboards, vibraphones, marimbas, xylophones and various other instruments. I was in the Wind Ensemble which is the highest band class and my last year they introduced the Percussion ensemble where I was a soloist. I was also the section leader during my last year as well. I teach a bible stu ... read more

"Knowledge is power & enthusiasm pulls the switch" -S. Droke

I have my A.A. degree in Theatre and Communications and will be receiving my Bachelor of Arts degree in Creative Writing with a minor in Film Studies in December of 2012. I have experience with children ranging from grades K-12th. I have been a Teacher's Aide since 2004 and a Summer Counselor since 2006. I am also bilingual and although it is not on my list for tutor availability, I do have experience in the language barriers concerning English and the Spanish language. I am Cuban American and wouldn't trade that for the world. It allows me to enjoy the cultures around me as well as given me a thirst to explore new ones. I look forward to helping someone else do that same!

Out with the old in with the new! Get a tutor today!

Repetitious in manner.
My experience has been primarily with children within my school or those around my neighborhood. I find that children are more capable of learning in a stable environment that they are familiar with. Children respond well with well timed incentives and subtle reprimands of lost focus. Students are more likely to acknowledge a lack of concentration skills once their intelligence is put into question. Under my tutoring students are able to concentrate more and see an improvement in their grades. Ill behaved children are more likely to round out their behavior once an appropriate hobby is acquired for them and holds their interests. All materials should be produced based on the individual child's rights.

Super tutor!

I place a high value on formal education and believe strongly in lifelong learning, for the betterment of the individual and, ultimately, for society. While raising three young children, I obtained my undergraduate degree in business administration. In later acquiring a law degree, I was introduced to the rigorous demands of such study and to the fascinating arena of reasoning and analytical thinking required by this discipline. I have tutored young children intermittenly over several years, with one stint of four years length as a Literacy Volunteer teaching English to children of war refugees.
I enjoy teaching and observing my students' different learning styles. I respect each student's individual method of assimilation. I work hard to accommodate his or her particular needs. I delight in the dynamics of the classroom and strongly believe that I can make a difference in whether ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I taught public school for 4 years before getting a masters degree in Religious Education with a Concentration in Childhood Education. I wanted to complement my undergraduate Elementary Education degree. Therefore, I choose the childhood education concentration at seminary. Then I was a Assoicate Pastor for Children for over 13 years where I supervised paid workers and planned activities for a children's ministry at a local church. I had to maintain a budget for this ministry in the amount of $38,000. Over the course of all of these years, I have learned a vast array of skills.
I love working with children of all ages. I really like elementary age children. I have a hands-on approach to education. I want kids to get their hands into activities so that they may retain things longer. Now I do realize that not every student is hands-on. That is the responsibility of a teacher ... read more
