More About This Tutor...

I have been a substitute teacher in all grade levels in the Alexandria (VA) City Public Schools District for several years, and within that I have a great deal of experience with ELL and Special Ed students. I am currently a long-term sub for ELL students at the Juvenile Detention Center school, which has added value in connecting to challenged and struggling youngsters. I love engaging one on one with students, which is why tutoring is exciting!

SUCCESS, RIGHT AT YOUR DOORSTEP!

I have been an educator for almost 20 years. I began my teaching career as a substitute teacher and immediately fell in love with teaching children with special needs. Desiring to continue to teach, I finished a Master's degree which gave me the endorsements to teach K-12 children with special needs. Since then, I have taught reading and mathematics to both children with special needs and regular education children at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. As I gained a greater thirst to do more to help children, outside of teaching in the public school setting, I bagan tutoring. Between teacing within the public school and tutoring outside of the public school setting, I gained a great deal of experience when it comes to identifying strategies that cause children to learn and retain what they have learned. After all was said and done, I finally capped my educational aspir ... read more

My comments on tutoring ACT : Taken the ACT and worked in tutoring with math-related ACT problems.

I am currently working with the Department of Defense in Analytics / Security but love tutoring on the side! I have previously tutored students in math, test preparation, and SAT / ACT prep, programming, Arabic / French and in multiple different students including Middle School, High School, College, and professional.
I prefer to teach one-on-one with students for best results. However I have done tutoring in a variety of teaching styles (group, class, lecture) and I am comfortable and dynamic in many situations.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching. Whenever a friend needed help, I was always there to help them out with their school work. I am a good tutor and I'm patient and considerate. My goal is always to make sure that they understand the subject rather than just having them complete homework.
I have earned a Bachelor degree in Electrical Engineering and working on my Master's degree in Engineering Management. Both degrees have helped me gain knowledge in math, science and in information technology. My grammatical skills are good due to writing a lot of research papers and lab reports. In my spare time, I had help other friends in the subject of math of different levels, from college algebra to Calculus III.

As a coach, I pay close attention to pedagogy as well as to the needs and learning styles of my students. With a very interdisciplinary background education in materials science and engineering physics, I bring rich applications to the classroom and thereby place the teaching of mathematics and physics into context for my students. I integrate technology into students’ learning experiences - using PowerPoint presentations and/or handouts from my lecture notes and outlines, requiring students to fill in some intentional blanks during class or their private study thereby keeping them engaged on the content. I ask appropriate leading and probing questions to explore the student’s lower and higher order thinking skills – cf. Bloom’s taxonomy.
A multi-lingual professional educator and research scientist with 20+ years of experience, I majored in engineering/energy physics and material ... read more

Teaching is something that is not meant for everyone. I am fortunate to say that my academic success is due to my ability to break down any material to a basic ideal and teach the materials in mutiple ways. The most important thing I do is make the material appeal to any individuals. Once these things are established, I believe student can effectivly learn and grow.
I am Paine College graduate. I earned a BS in Mathematics and Computer Science in 2006. While at Paine College I took variety of science classes including organic chemistry, atmospheric science, and cell biology. Since graduating, I have spent two years as a high school math teacher. I have also tooken graduate work in mathematic and math education. For the past eight years I have also work or volunteered as a personal math tutor.

I believe that each student is truly a unique individual with different strengths and weaknesses. I think it is important to work with each student on a one to one basis; assess their personal needs and focus on them. Not every student learns the same so it is extremely important to take notice of the different personalities and do my best to adhere them. I think that education is truly a powerful tool. I believe that with the proper instruction and overall support, a student may use their education to achieve their dreams. As a teacher/tutor I feel it is my responsiblity to teach with a passion that shows my students how I truly believe in what I am teaching them.
Since graduating with my BA in English I have decided to return to school to earn my Secondary Teaching License. I have developed a great desire to pursue a career in teaching English; to hopefully teach young adults ... read more

I teach by asking questions that force students to learn the material rather than memorizing steps to solve problems. I also use examples, sometimes not in the subject being taught, to explain a concept. A student can expect me to be a resourceful tutor who will motivate him or her to succeed.
I am a former student at University of Central Florida where I was a tutor for the Department of Finance and Real Estate. I also tutored my colleagues in subjects such as accounting and algebra. I enjoy making seemingly, complex curriculum simple and enjoyable to learn by sharing my knowledge and passion for the subject. My areas of expertise are economics, finance, managerial accounting and algebra. To accompany my three degrees in business I have 2+ years of experience in finance/analytics.

My education in international relations and international public affairs has allowed me to gain knowledge in the social sciences and foreign languages. As an undergraduate student, I studied and worked in Spain, which has given me the opportunity to hone my Spanish skills. In graduate school, I participated in a number of Mandarin Chinese intensive language programs, both in the United States and mainland China. I have tutored students in high school and college and have also served as a mentor to undergraduate and graduate students. As a future university professor, students’ success and understanding of the subject at hand is of the utmost importance to me.
My greatest strength as a tutor is that I know what it is like to have no knowledge of a foreign language. Thus, I am able to diagnose the particular difficulties a student is having and provide appropriate guidance in re ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am a born teacher. I truly love teaching and seeing my students learn. My philosophy is that all students are capable of learning at any level but some need more attention and different perspectives in order to achieve their goals. In my years of teaching I have worked with all levels and abilities which I believe has allowed me to learn from my students and become a better teacher.
The past two years I have been teaching Freshman Composition at Florida Atlantic University. I was required to teach critical thinking skills, writing, grammar, and reading. Previously, I taught 10th grade English (regular and honors) at Cypress Bay High School in Weston, FL. Before teaching high school I was a middle school Language Arts teacher (7th and 8th grade). With both my jobs in Broward County, I was required to work with my students on reading, writing, and grammatical skills. Further ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My primary strengths as a tutor and teacher lie in my complete understanding of the science material giving me an ability to simplify it in different ways to help others to understand. I have always learned best by working to fully grasp the logic and ideas behind each concept or topic, which I carry on to my students. When one understands the material there is less need for memorization, especially in the sciences where concepts build upon one another. Additionally, this is important to test taking conditions, enabling the student to competently tackle a broader range of potential questions and exam formats. I also use many different methods in my own learning and in teaching others, enabling flexibility in tutoring to best fit each individual’s learning style.
I began tutoring in high school, mostly focusing in math subjects including algebra, geometry and calculus. I continu ... read more
