My beliefs about teaching are to educate and challenge students to become skillful communicators, independent thinkers, and life-long learners. I believe every child has a different learning style. Learning should occur in a safe, supportive, and stimulating environment. I will be accepting of my all my students as individuals and encourage them to do the same with their peers. It is my belief that children are at various levels of intellectual, emotional, social and physical development. Therefore, I will be oriented toward the unique students’ needs and interests and I will provide a flexible educational program. I received my B.S degree The Pennsylvania State University and my Masters Elementary Education from the University of Phoenix. I have always known that I wanted to become a teacher. I believe educating our future, our children, is one of the most important jobs anyone could

As a professional educator, my passion and purpose is to share my love of learning and history with students. I have a BA in European History and I have been teaching American, European and World history to high school students for the past three years. I am committed to helping students become independent learners. In my classroom I emphasize critical thinking while building writing and research skills. I have tutored students in essay writing, reading comprehension, and vocabulary in addition to history. The most important thing I do as a teacher is to provide my students with the tools they need to be confident in their skills and abilities both in and out of the classroom. I have worked with students from a wide variety of backgrounds, learning styles, and abilities and have a track record of successfully motivating even the most unenthusiastic students. My goal is to help students d

My teaching style is to encourage students to do their best at all times by setting high expectations for them. I use my soft-spoken, easy going, and focused mannerism to provide the best level of instruction. Students are encouraged to become independent thinkers in problem solving and in discovery of the study habits that will help them to succeed in their academic careers. As a dedicated and certified educator, I have taken and successfully passed the PRAXIS exam the first time that I took it. I also completed an extensive training program for NJ Alternate Route Teachers. I have spent 7 years working in public education with children and 3 years as a teacher librarian in a primary school and 2 years as a technology teacher in a elementary school. Prior to my entry into public education I worked as an instructor for adult learners for over 5 years. I have earned a master’s degree in I

Since 1995, I have been a tutor for grades 2-College,focusing on Mathematics. Most notably,I was a Contract Tutor for the Club Z Tutoring Co, tutoring students in grades 2-12 in all subjects, and HESPA, NJASK, and SAT exams.I am proud to say that one student's mother was so pleased that I helped her son reach his goal score on the H.E.S.P.A. exam that unbeknown to me,she recommended me for a full time teaching job at her son's school. I have a B.A.in Math,and a Minor in Education,with teaching experience.I also was a Study Skills Instructor at Kean University. My teaching style can be described as strong knowledge base coupled with excellent explanation skiills.I prepare on my own time for each tutoring lesson,which makes the Session run very smoothly.I also cultivate open and clear communication channels with students,parents,and teachers.

I was a teaching assistant for three of my four years at the University of Delaware. I taught courses, as well as tutored students and graded exams. Additionally, I have a great deal of experience in sciences and english, specifically biology and microbiology, as well as excellent grammar skills. I believe teaching others a skill or new information is a gift, to both myself and the student. When the light goes off in their head, and the "I got it!" look comes across their face, I feel a sense of accomplishment. I am very patient, and understand that each student learns at their own speed. Additionally, I know that each student is different, which will sometimes require a new teaching technique. I believe everyone can learn; sometimes it just takes the right teacher for the right student.

I believe that effective communication and a supportive environment is crucial to a good teaching/learning relationship. I don't mind questions, in fact I encourage them at any time! I see learning as a 2-way street. It is the students responsibility to stop me immediately and ask questions if he/she does not understand. It is my responsibility, in response, to answer those questions and find a new way of explaining the problem so he/she does understand it. I believe a student should be able to "talk" mathematics as well as "write" it. My philosophy regarding math is as follows: it is a fantastic way of looking at the world and also improves necessary critical thinking skills in a student. I hold both a BA in Mathematics and an MS in Statistics from Rutgers Univeristy. I have sucessfully tutored 36+ students since 1991. I also have broad technical writing experience from completing re

As a high school Physics teacher for the last 15 years, I believe I have developed the content knowledge and pedagogical strategies to be an effective teacher and tutor for all math and science courses. With my engineering background, I believe I have a strong handle on the integrated applications of mathematics and can offer students many real-life examples and applications particularly from the Pre-Calculus and Calculus courses they have taken. My school district and department entrusted me with the top students in our district to teach AP Physics C(Calculus-based) for five years. My students' excellent performance on the AP Physics C national exam and their subsequent success in college in rigorous majors is a track record I am very proud of. I believe I could offer this same level of instructional efficacy to your students. As a teacher of highly technical subjects for secondary

In my past experiences, personal and professional, I have grown to appreciate every child's abilities. Although I am much older than the children I have taught, and I have the knowledge from extensive education, there are still many things I can learn from children. I have let my students feel that they are in a safe learning environment and that their contributions are greatly appreciated. I have had great success in passing knowledge on to my students. When it comes to teaching, I strive to be the best teacher that I can be. Being a mediocre teacher is not at all an option, and my open-mindedness allows me to acquire help from any resource (whether a teacher or a book) to perfect my strategies. To address a wide range of skills and abilities in my classroom, I would try to be as prepared as possible. I would prepare materials for students who are at a higher learning level so tha

I am a graduate of Marywood University 2010 with a degree in Mathematics/Secondary Education. For two years I participated in an Academic Excellence program at Marywood. My position was a math tutor at a "drop-in" center. It was here that my peers could come at anytime to be tutored in any mathematics subject. I recently completed a semester of student teaching at Valley View High School, where I taught 9th grade algebra and 10th grade geometry, and at Dunmore Middle School, where I taught 8th grade algebra and pre-algebra. I successfully completed both. I am willing to go above and beyond to help a student achieve success. As a teacher and tutor, there is nothing more satisfying as when the “light bulb” finally goes off for the student. I believe my enthusiasm for teaching and learning works in my favor. I think that excitement is contagious and when a few students get excit

I currently possess a bachelor’s degree in biological science from Keystone College as well as my PA Instructional Certification for Secondary Education in Biology, which I obtained from Drexel University. I meet NCLB’s Highly Qualified Teacher requirements, which means I am highly qualified to teach biology to any student in grades 7-12. I completed my student teaching at Lackawanna Trail High School where I taught 7th grade life science and 10th grade biology. Soon after this experience, I was hired as a full-time substitute biology teacher at Montrose Area High School where I taught 6 classes of biology including 10th grade college prep biology and 11th & 12th grade AP biology. I am a firm believer that teaching style should encompass diversity of instruction and assessment because the students themselves are very diverse.

My curiosity to understand systems and solve complex problems drove me to major in Computer & Information Science and minor in Mathematics. Due to my approach to presenting materials/work in a simplified way for my audience, my teacher recommended me as a math tutor in my sophomore year. Throughout my last two years in college, I tutored almost all level of undergraduate mathematics, physics, and entry level statistics. After graduation, I was accepted in the Philadelphia Teaching Fellow. I taught in Philadelphia School District both in the middle and high school levels mathematics. My diverse experience has enabled me to work with students at various academic levels and social circumstances. My students tagged me “Mr. O. makes it simple”. During my tenure in the classroom, I justified that all students can learn and perform above average if given the appropriate environment, and the tea
