During my sophomore summer of college I had a summer job at New Beginnings Daycare where I taught our 7 & 8 year olds Reading, English, Mathematics, and Art. As a Cum Laude Graduate, I was very much driven to achieve a level of excellence in education. I have earned a bachelor degree, BSW in Social Work; as a direct passion for helping people. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to studying advance grammar, writing research papers, along with essays in many various areas of study. I am a licensed Therapeutic Foster parent and received my licensure from Seraaj Family Homes, Inc. to be a Professional Family Teacher. During the last ten years, I have conducted trainings for professionals, general public, and youth.

I have tutored numerous students in the following subjects Chemistry, Physics, Algebra, Trig, Geometry, Calculus and Biology. I had 1 student who needed to pass a calculus test to recieve his MBA. I taught him a complete semester of calculus in 1 month.

More About This Tutor...

I like to take a 'backdoor' approach with my students by creating activities that are interesting and fun. I think this helps in changing the student's attitude from a negative to a positive one. I do believe everyone can learn and that it is my job to help facilitate this. I like to vary my teaching style while using interactive, kinetic, audial, visual and explorer type methods. This helps me find what works for individual students. I'm energetic but patient and positive. I think it is important to encourage a student's effort not just his/her outcome.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a college student I am still striving for my goal and dream of becoming a veterinarian. I have always been a mentor in my community and willing to help others where they need help. My favorite subjects throughout grade school include math and science, in which I have excelled in both by being placed in honor level classes throughout high school. I have tutored many students in math, science and elementary level reading.
My teaching style with younger children is to have a relaxed setting where no pressure in placed upon the student. I'm always sure to review my material before going into a new lecture. When a student is not understanding the material I try to use many methods for then to gain a better understanding. When I was younger it was easier for me to understand information if I can relate it to my life, so I will apply the same methods with teaching others.

I start by asking the students to tell me exactly what is it that they not understand and start from there. I then like to work backwards from that point to find where they got lost. I also use everyday concepts to give similiar scenarios to get them on the right track. I find pleasure in seeing their faces light up once they come to understand the subject matter.
I enjoy teaching and working in the clinical practice performing laboratory tests and analyzing the results. I am enthralled with structures and functions of organisms and continuously intrigued with revelations of newly discovered mechanisms. I find gratification in getting a student to understand a concept being taught and in their expression of the lesson learned. My teaching experiences were acquired while obtaining my Bachelors of Science degree in Biological Sciences with a minor in Chemistry and during graduate lev ... read more
