Very student based instruction, focused on helping the student come to the answer him/herself. I have two Bachelor's degrees and a law degree. I am qualified to teach all areas of social sciences, and comfortable with most subjects through the high school level. I have had experience with tutoring through employment as a nanny. I had very strong scores on both the ACT and LSAT and feel confident that my instruction in those areas would be very beneficial to students.

Whatever works best for the student. I understand that everyone learns best in their own way so I am very flexible to what works best for each students' needs. To be honest I do not have any professional experience tutoring. However, throughout my entire educational career I have always been able to grasp material before my classmates and hence help them grasp the material themselves. I am very patient and am able to break down any subject into very simple and easy to understand steps to ensure the students' success. ACT 32 AP Scholar

As a student, working one on one with mentors played an undeniably significant role in my educational achievements. Now, from the position of having acquired enough skills to instruct and pass on what I've learned to others, my motivation to tutor stems not only from the particular need for tutors, given the increasing sizes of classes and burdens teachers are under, but also the fulfillment that comes from contributing to a process that has benefited me personally. Moreover, my excitement for tutoring also emerges from the advantages the one-on-one context offers for developing the critical thinking skills and tools necessary for both contributing to and challenging what one takes to be reality, common sense, truth, and knowledge. I started tutoring in high school, where I spent my summers volunteering as a teaching assistant at Breakthrough Summer School (a program I also attended as a

Must provide own resources I am excellent at taking in and processing information and then fluently teaching others that same information in a way they can fully understand it. In High School, I taught many students in my chemistry class how to thoroughly understand the material. I have effectively taught and trained others the game of chess. I offer a comprehensive and effective teaching method that will help the learner thoroughly understand the material, not simply memorizing it. My teaching consists of critical thinking and logical reasoning.

I had an exceptionally high Verbal- SAT score. Also, that helped me for my LSAT, when I went to law school. I work in the compliance/legal field in banking with over 15 years of experience with an educational foundation of a B.A. in Economics and a J.D. (i.e., law degree). I'm multi-lingual with fluency in Spanish, German and Polish. I have well over a decade of tutoring experience predominantly in economics, various math topics, Spanish and various subjects of law, in addition to LSAT prep. Style is one-on-one. The tutoring is flexible to accommodate different people's styles. However, tutoring is what one makes of it.

As a father of three, I love to teach through example. As much as possible, I love to use practical illustrations to emphasize points and to give the child/student a better understanding of its application. I tend to learn best visually and through repetition and would incorporate that style into my teaching efforts. My goal in teaching would be patience, demanding but considerate, firm but fair. I worked my way through college, working full-time and attending classes whenever possible. I graduated from Ohio State with a degree in mathematics, majoring in the field of Actuarial Science. So, I know the value of accomplishment through perseverance and determination. As a full-time employee, I deal with statistical data and clientele daily. I have excellent communication skills both oral and written and use these skills extensively dealing with the public. I have a substitute teachi

I have always felt strongly drawn to education, particularly in the field of literacy. I grew up as a child who loved to read, and I love to pass that on to others. After receiving my degree in English Literature, I became a teacher's aide at a small Montessori school in Springfield, Ohio. I taught my students reading for concepts and spelling in a small group setting, never more than four at a time. Occasionally, I gave one on one sessions, and had book clubs twice weekly for the students. Although I moved on from teaching in the Montessori setting, I would like to pursue tutoring and working with students one on one. I strive to make lessons fun and relevant to the student's personal experience. I don't believe that people remember information they find irrelevant or of no use to them, so I feel that by tailoring the lesson to the student, I can reach people more effectively. A s

I love to teach and work with students. I believe that ALL students can learn and be successful if they are taught in a manner that works for the student. I want every one of my students to have a positive learning experience and will do my best to provide a constructive and nurturing environment for each and every student to reach his/her potential. My love of learning was greatly influenced by my teachers. I still remember them and try to emulate their genuine love of the material and their love of all their students. Great teachers made a difference in my life and I want to make a difference in my students' lives too. I am an experienced math and science teacher and currently teach a variety of math and science courses at a private school in Columbus. Before that, I was an Assistant Professor at The Ohio State University College of Medicine and ran a research laboratory in th

I love working with children of all ages and I believe that all children should have an equitable education. Because of the skills and abilities I possess in reading I have been able to help my own child achieve beyond her grade level and she is currently in the gifted program for reading. Because I am a school counselor by profession I make sure that I always listen to students and help them overcome any obstacles they may face. I believe that with individual attention all students are capable of excelling in their academics. During my undergraduate studies at OSU I was trained by Americorps to tutor elementary students in reading and math. I worked for two years in the Columbus Public School System helping students that were behind their grade level in those subject areas. In my current high school position I teach a Career Based Intervention class and I assist students with their Engl

I feel very strongly that every child has the ability to learn when they are given the right encouragement. While working on my Japanese minor I quickly discovered that finding a method that works for an individual student is the most important part of studying productively. I feel that my fresh, creative outlook will supplement the classroom experience well and offer alternative methods to learning that may not be available at your child's school. While I have not tutored academically in the past, I have taught my community's equivalent of the DARE program to fourth grade classes for two years and have also taught art lessons to children of all ages.

I love working with students of all ages. I believe that all students can be taught, but not all in the same way. I cater my teaching style to match the learning style of the student. I strive to reach each student where they are, using relevant examples to aid the student in understanding the subject matter. I use humor and my maternal instincts to tap into the students’ hidden potential, emphasizing their strengths while nurturing their weaknesses. I started tutoring a blind gentleman in his collegiate algebra course while still an undergrad. I later went on to TA several courses during my graduate work at A&T. While at OSU, I tutored math and chemistry for the Office of Minority Affairs where I conducted regular tutorial sessions in order to prepare students for level algebra, organic and inorganic chemistry exams and laboratories. For my math students I developed problem sets

I've worked with both high school and college students, both gifted and disadvantaged students, and I believe that the key to being a successful tutor is understanding your student and how he/she learns. Through my experiences, I've learned how to explain subject matter in a way that enables students to repeat back to me in their own words what I just explained. This is critical. I believe students learn best by understanding first, and memorizing when applicable. I'm able to gauge where my students are in their education and get them where they need to be. I am a recent graduate of The Ohio State University, where I earned my BS in Microbiology. My strong background in science and mathematics allowed me to tutor students in both chemistry and microbiology during my time as an undergraduate. Being the daughter of an English teacher, my writing skills were further polished by time spent i
