I have tutored children of ages 5-12 at an English Center in Jinan, China for two weeks, and have tutored two transfer students in English on a weekly basis during my senior year in high school. I have also taught piano to adults on a volunteer basis for a month, and have had much experience in working with children in learning arts and crafts. As the vice president of Arts in Motion (a service club at our school)and a member of the Museum of Contemporary Art volunteer crew, I have worked with kids from ages 3-14 on various artistic projects.

I also have extensive experience tutoring high school and grade school students in all areas.

I excelled at standardized testing and feel very confident in my ability to tutor that as well.

Mastering the PSAT is critical in preparing for the SAT. Knowing the skills and strategies is what I will teach you, and coach you to improve all aspects of your verbal skills. Having been tutor at Huntington Learning centers and a private tutor, I excel at one on one tutoring relationships. It is essential to understand the level of competence of the student and moving from that to gradual improvement of skills. Each student is an individual, with unique views and talents; therefore, each expresses their views in unique ways. It is my job to nurture these views to their ultimate expression. Starting as an English major, and working as a tutor for Huntington Learning Centers, I have always loved working with students of all levels in the English language - in all its facets: from grammar to style. At a time when proper use of the language is increasingly rare (but required to master

I have taught grades k through 12 and beyond in the areas of general elementary ed, reading, writing, advanced composition and literature, grammar and study skills. I have most recently tutored students at a local prep school in Advanced English. I have also had the joy of tutoring kindergardeners and first graders in basic reading skills. Specifically, for extended periods, I have taught in the classroom, grades 3,5,(everything);6,7, 9 and 10 (Reading, Writing, English).I love and enjoy seeing students learn and watch the light go on when they pick up a concept or understand a piece of literature. Teaching is part of whom I am. There is no greater feeling of accomplishment when I have helped a child or teen progress and feel good about learning. I am patient and strive to know the student and their unique needs. I tailor my approach according to each student's learning style and ac

I have 15 years Wall Street finanace related experience. In 1998 I accepted a position teaching english teachers at a language institute in South Korea. The teachers became my friends and I was invited to guest teach at their respective middle schools and high schools. I loved my years living and travelling in Asia, the cultures, the institute but especially the students. Since returning from Asia I have been tutoring out of my home in Ponte Vedra Beach. My students range from middle school to graduate school. I prepare students for the PSAT, SAT, GRE, applications and admissions. I design lessons personalized for each student, bringing a wide variety of materials to the sessions. I think it is important to have fun, laugh and relax while keeping a close eye on achievement. I ask a lot of questions, appreciate feedback and generally require composition as a key compo

While in undergrad I volunteered with a program at my school where underprivileged children would come in and have a mentor. As a mentor we would help them with homework, take them out for a trip, or just have someone to talk and ask questions to. I absolutely believe that each person learns differently. Some children learn better by sight, others by sound. A good educator is one who is able to provide both types of learning to the child and thereafter pickup on what allows the child to learn the best.

I believe the key to teaching is communication. Building a connection between myself and the student has always been a cornerstone of my pedagogical style. I believe that most students have the potential to succeed, and that my role as an instructor is to help them to teach themselves -- which is the essence of real learning. My first instructional experience was when I was 8; I taught my cousin how to read. From there, I went on to tutor as an undergrad and to teach while in graduate school. I have missed the one-on-one aspect of tutoring, and am especially able to help with English, but can work in other areas as well.

I prefer to get to know students and cater my style of teaching to what works best for each student. For some students at some points, a direct teaching approach works. For others a discovery method works well. I employ a whole child approach to whatever teaching methods I use. With six years of experience in high school public schools -- a vo tech school, an alternative school and a regular zone school--I have ample experience with a wide variety of students. I teach English literature and grammar. I have editing experience as an editor of a newsletter, and I wrote a few published articles for newspapers. I also have a degree in teaching from a prestigious school.

I try to relate well to and form good relationships with my students. I have learned through my own experiences and through UCF, various teaching styles; however, the most important element in my style is to listen and to adjust to each child and listen to his/her needs. I want them to understand the importance of the material and why they are learning it. I use a lot of positive reinforcement. I have been teaching/tutoring since I was 15 years old. Throughout high school I taught Sunday school and tutored. For a year in college I tutored at a day care center. I also volunteered with children with the Reading Buddies and Dream Center, a center for at-risk children. I taught school in the Netherlands for three months and served a semester at Joan Walker Elementary teaching kindergarten and third grade. Currently, I am teaching a fifth grade class of 28 students, 10 of whom are SLD.

My teaching style depends on the age group or crowd that I am teaching, but overall I am consistent, tactful, and informative. As a teacher it is my responsibility to ensure that my quality of teaching is up to par with my students abilities and that the communication levels are excellent. While an undergraduate, I obtained several teaching and tutoring skills through my intense psychological curriculum. I also have a huge science background full of accredited college courses in Chemistry, Biology, and Physics. I enjoy working with all different age groups and ethnicities. My professional experience does include professional business and sales training.

I have a strong passion for education and I possess a can do attitude when it comes to learning. I believe that ALL students can learn however many express frustration with the learning process and ultimately give up when faced with difficulty or challenge. It is the role of the teacher/tutor/educator to first motivate the student and then teach the student the necessary strategies needed to achieve mastery. By simply focusing on the building blocks of learning, students become more confident and self-sufficient learners. This ultimately leads to a more successful student. I am committed to making a positive difference in the lives of every student that I teach. As a previous Reading Specialist at a Title I school, I have a proven track record of achieving student success in the area of reading/literacy. As the Reading Specialist, I led the school district (school year 2007- 2008) in

I enjoy teaching and have always had a passion for working with children. i feel that with the right encouragement any child can learn the skill sets necessary to succeed. i believe that positive encouragement is the key to helping children learn. I have gained a different perspective in my current job while working with adults with developmental disabilities. It amazes me to see what structure and praise can do for a child. i desire to make a difference in the people's lives i work with by being a positive role model and never doubting a child's potential. As a college graduate at a small liberal arts university, I have always valued education. I received my bachelor degree in Psychology in spring 2006. During college, i had the opportunity to tutor for a 5th grade classroom in all subjects. After college I have worked at two jobs which allowed me to tutor. As a Family Services
