Interactive and personal. As I work with my students I try and best understand what ways they enjoy working and learning so that I can make those a priority when developing lessons and activities. I've worked extensively while attending college tutoring both as a volunteer in public schools and as a personal tutor. While tutoring in a public school setting I worked both with individual students and small groups in math and science classrooms. I am a registered and licensed Life Science Educator through the university I attended and additionally I am a registered and licensed Environmental Educator through an independent program with the state of Ohio. My hours are flexible as is the subject I can assist with. I am fully trained in educating students between grades 7-12 in both Life Science (Biology, Physiology, Anatomy, Zoology) and Earth Science (Environmental, Geological). Once I am

I am a certified teacher and an experienced tutor. I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Elementary Education and have experience in tutoring students of all ages. I have tutored students in Language Arts, Science, Math, Social Studies, and some GED prep, as well. I really enjoy what I do each day in the classroom and I love to tutor even more! Tutoring allows me to teach more one-on-one and spend the extra time that students need to learn. I believe in pushing students, but also using positive reinforcement and enjoying the "ah-ha" moments! I set the bar high for my students but am there to assist and guide them every step of the way. I am a very caring, kind, and laid-back teacher and tutor. This is not to say that I don't have high expectations, I certainly do, but I believe that students need to be themselves when they are learning. I think that my students can see that I genui

I grew up in a family that values education so much that we were living in a state of war in Lebanon and still running from one school to the other. This instilled in me a great amount of love and appreciation towards education. During High school, I joined “Shabibat EL-Makassed”, a community service program, where I participated in public speech and writing contests, in addition to community service activities. In summer of 2000, I joined the Lebanese Red Cross where we conducted many seminars and activities to educate young and senior citizens about several issues in the health field. My experiences during high school and in the Red Cross made me value the feeling that one gets when helping others; it was the best feeling I ever experienced. When I moved to the US, I joined the Student Support Services program at the University of Toledo and started tutoring college students in many su

Learning is always easier when it is fun and interesting. In any given teaching situation I look for ways to add zest to learning. At the outset of tutoring I do an assessment of where students are currently achieving in a specific subject area, and identify skills that they may be lacking. Next, I develop a learning plan with specific goals. This becomes the basis for a learning contract between myself and the person seeking tutoring. Learning is best achieved in an interactive teaching style where students are encouraged to ask questions and participate in problem solving. I am a patient person who believes that all students can successfully learn. My undergraduate years at Princeton University instilled in me a passion for learning and a personal commitment to academic excellence. Most of my adult work life has been focused on coaching individuals to overcome handicaps and maximize t

I embrace teaching as an opportunity to inspire and empower. As a teacher, it is my goal to enhance learning as a transformative experience. Ideally, I want students to feel personally changed by their educational experience. Independent thought is essential to the development of each student. Being able to form unique independent ideas to solve problems will serve them both in and outside of the academic setting. A teacher should lead students in the direction they should go to reach correct conclusions and answers, without always providing the answers themselves. Finally, reinforcing concepts and learned ideas is essential. By using information, students should be able to apply what they have learned to real life situations. I am dedicated and outgoing individual who has been working in education for 3+ years. I am highly adaptable to many kind of learners. I have tutored English and
