I adapt my teaching to the students' learning style. I have been tutoring math and science since I was a sophomore in high school. I thoroughly enjoy seeing my students succeed in both their academic and personal lives.

As a substitute teacher for social studies and English literature, in both honors and regular classes, I facilitated learning by following the lesson plans. Utilizing student-centered learning techniques, like asking questions and encouraging discussions, I helped create an atmosphere where learning became interesting and happened naturally. By promoting and stimulating guided discussions and critical thinking, I was able to inspire interest in the students for further study and research in a subject. My expertise is in humanities. I combine original writings from ancient (Plato, Aristotle, Sophocles, etc.) and more modern (Shakespeare, Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, etc.) authors who have shaped our world. By utilizing the Socratic method, I promote critical thinking and engage the student in discussion. My ultimate goal is to help the student not only learn and master the subject, but als

I love teaching others and helping them excel at difficult subjects such as mathematics, chemistry and physics. With my broad background I can relate to almost any individual and find the right approach to teaching difficult subjects in a manner he/she will understand. Most difficult subjects are so because of apprehensions or stigmas one might form throughout his/her experiences. I make learning fun and can break down mental barriers one might have by relating the abstract material to concrete real-world examples.

The essence of my teaching style is adaptation. While there are a few principles which any student can use to become a more effective learner, the implementation of these principles must be modified to meet the particular student's needs. Learning a language, writing, and standardized test-taking are much easier if one has a tutor who can show you the principles necessary for success in a manner appropriate for your learning style. As an alumnus of the University of Oxford and of Duke University, I know what it takes to get a good education and to be a proficient student. I am available to tutor Spanish, writing, and the LSAT, scoring a 5 on the Spanish Language AP examination, a 4 on the Spanish Literature AP examination, and a 5 on the English Literature examination; I also received a 177 out of a possible 180 on the LSAT; finally, I received a 2300 out of a possible 2400 on the SAT, i

As a recent graduate of San Diego State University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and minor in Psychology, I have taken many classes in biology, physics, algebra, psychology, chemistry as well as organic chemistry. I learned how to plan, provide and educated students by teaching and tutoring sciences and English classes for four years. Throughout my working experiences, I learned how to manage and organize an efficient and instructive environment, and assist students in learning the material thoroughly. Teaching is a great way to educate and to learn. As a tutor, first, I see the student’s understanding level. I plan ahead of time and prepare proper material. However, if the material is provided, I find effective methods of teaching, and teach each student accordingly. It’s obvious that some techniques work better for some students but not others. Therefor, I choose a good teachin

I feel I learn as much as I teach. I value every student that I have the opportunity to work with. I have learned some students just need to overcoming their dislike of a subject. For others, a key subject building block had been built properly (as in Math) and as a result the rest of the information was sitting unstable in their minds. Finding where the support is needed and then working to solidify the skill then leads to greater confidence and greater academic achievement, Most students I work with appreciate that I am fair but firm. I want to succeed. It is a win-win. I have recently completed my MBA at national University. I currently teach high school part time at a alternative high school. This recent experience provided me with opportunity to work with students in a one-on-one basis as well as familiarize myself with every core class offered in the high school program. I feel

My focus has always been reaching students who may have fallen through the cracks or those who have not been given enough of a chance. I believe that all students have the right to a positive, equal, and challenging education. I love working with kids of all ages and know from my experiences, that no two kids learn in the exact same way. I take literacy education and writing very seriously and think that there are no greater skills to be taught then those of personal literacy. Students need to have examples who champion these skills in their lives and create a sense of desire to pursue them. Strong examples in my life have led me to my love of reading and writing; I would not be where I am without having had them in my life. One of the most important things I have learned so far in my career is that no one teacher can save every single student he or she comes into contact with. We ca

I am a graduate student in materials science at UC San Diego, and a recent graduate of the California Institute of Technology with a BS in Mechanical Engineering. I have a broad and thorough understanding of math and physics, and to a lesser degree in chemistry and biology, as well as in more specialized subjects. I also have good writing skills gained from writing research and review papers and papers for graduate-level history classes. I am very familiar with the SAT and GRE tests and have two years' experience tutoring students in remedial classes at the high school and elementary school level. My goal in teaching is to ensure that my students have a strong understanding of the subject and do not just follow a formula or recite rote knowledge. In addition to explaining concepts, I like to use models and present example problems with which the student can demonstrate his grasp of the

Although my vocation for the past 38 years has been Software Engineering, my avocation has always been teaching. I financed my undergraduate education by tutoring one-on-one at the high school level for 3 years. During my career as a Software Engineer I sought out opportunities to teach part-time, evenings and weekends. I have the equivalent of about 7 years of full-time experience teaching High School, Community College and College level math, science and economics courses at a variety of institutions including National University and Seton Hall University. I also have significant experience mentoring as well as presenting tutorials at professional conferences. I have always tried to adjust my teaching style to the students with whom I am working while at the same time adhering to the curricula and guidelines of the institution for which I worked.

I have also tutored Algebra II and Geometry as a mentor for students taking on-line courses. Although I do not have a credential to teach French, I am fairly fluent and I have taught beginning French for the past 4 years at the same charter school. I studied French in both high school and college and I travel to France almost every year. I am most proud of my ability to mitigate math anxiety.

I am very student-centered. I believe that all students can learn any subject if the teaching style is adapted to the student's learning needs and prior experience. I further believe that learning should be fun for the student and to this end I constantly seek out interesting resources for students. I am patient and expect high achievement from students, but I also believe that high achievement only occurs when education is tailored to the student. I am currently a Master's student in Educational Psychology and I incorporate empirical research data into my method of teaching; I believe in doing what is proven to work to help students achieve! I tutored English and Humanities in the Academic Skills Center of my alma mater, Heritage University. I was a Teacher's Assistant at this university for two semesters and often took over for the class in place of the professor. I tutored primarily c
