I began teaching as a college sophomore at MIT. For 9 years, I taught primarily Multivariable Calculus, but also single-variable Calculus, Linear Algebra, and several writing courses. Since graduating, I have been involved in various volunteer tutoring efforts. My minors are in Math, German, and Writing. I happen to be a black female, the first to earn bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees in Mechanical Engineering at MIT. I am happy to work with anyone, but I might be a particularly meaningful match for a minority or female student. In addition to tutoring, I would hope to serve as a "can-do" example for someone who might not have dared to dream big enough. I believe in the "practice makes perfect" approach, especially when it comes to math, science, and language study. That said, I also believe that practice can be interesting, fun, encouraging and reinforcing. I would hope to h

I love tutoring and working with children to young adults. The internet provides a lot of information but the joy of going to the library to discover new worlds, knowledge or just for the fun of it is still a worthwhile venture. I have tutored students who truly abhored reading but when we read about New York City and took them to the places of interest we studied and it truly got them excited about the next book. My methods are varied but consistent. I teach outdoors weather permitting on field trips and with themes to keep the child interested and wanting to read and learn. As a mother of 16 yr old twins, I have always been a tutor in reading, english and literature. I got my degree in English/Art/Art Therapy/Literature as a result of my love for the written word and regarding books as our passport to the world around us near and far. I have learned the skills and applied them i

Over the past 10 years I have had the pleasure of tutoring over 150 children. While receiving a Teacher Education Certificate, Human Services A.S. and a Sociology B.A., I have committed myself to scholastic excellence.

In each one to one experience, the child improved at least 2-grade level in reading comprehension and 1-grade level in math. I have extensive experience working with people who are learning disabled and have taking several classes in special education making me a proficient tutor to this population as well. The Teacher Education Certificate affords me with a well-rounded familiarity with curriculum for all primary grade level and techniques to best underst

I love working with children. I was involved in girl scouts from first grade all the way to 12th grade and in those years I learned a lot of leadership skills. I am very patient and want to provide education to anyone that needs it. When I was in school I often struggled with school work, so I learned many different techniques to learn how to learn. While I was an undergraduate, volunteering was very important to me. One of the places I volunteered was an after school program for children who live in Hamilton Hill. While I volunteered there I helped many of them with there homework as well as extra reading and writing to help improve those skills. I found that my psychology major as well as my education and english minors were very useful and helpful to help tutor in all subjects.

I'd rather not use the trite statement- 'I love teaching', as true as it is. I enjoy communicating with people and I like to observe the fascinating way in which each individual thinks differently. I suppose this is what has drawn me towards teaching. That and the fact that I can be instrumental in helping someone with something that helps in learning,for all involved. I teach using different methods,based on how each student's style of understanding. My Undergraduate studies involved extensive study Art history and my Masters Diploma in Textiles helped me a lot in research studies.I also won a scholarship to study Strategic Design in Milan. I am very creative and can communicate effortlessly. During my stay in India, I volunteered in a Blind school and later in a school for slow learners and children with autism. My Masters in Psychology supplemented this learning. I worked for a year w

I am a graduate of SUNY Oneonta. I graduated with honors in Childhood Education. I have a few years of experience. As a Substitute Teacher, I implemented the teachers desired lessons plans while implementing my own classroom discipline strategies. As a Preschool Teacher, I created my own lesson plans according to theme. I supervised two staff members as well as 15 children ages 3-5. I implemented my own classroom discipline strategies. I enjoy working and teaching with all children. I believe that all children can learn, but at different levels and abilities. I feel accomplished when I see that children finally understand a concept. I am patient and understanding of children. I believe that children should have more hands on activities brought into their education. I want to be that teacher they remember from thirty years from now. I want to make a difference in their lives.

In having a bachelors degree in Psychology, I have been fortunate enough to have worked at various places, all in which have dealt with constant interaction with people. I have had a great deal of experience substitute teaching children, to waiting on the elderly at a Sunday brunch. My people skills have grown very strong in being able to interact with so many different types of people. In addition to those experiences I will complete requirements for my masters in Psychology and Counseling, which I intend to use to help people with difficult life situations. This can involve things such as trouble with school, fitting in, and self-confidence, all which may be issues that the younger population may face throughout their school years. In having a great passion for working with/teaching children, I think that it is immensely important to remember that everyone has a different way of learni

As a graduate from the State University of New York at Albany, I am driven to achieve the highest level of excellence in education especially in the following generations. I have received a BA in Chemistry and Pre-Med. These degrees have enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of science, math, and english. In addition, I have learned extensive health and grammatical skills due to writing research papers and laboratory reports, along with essays in many various areas of study. During the last three years I have tutored students in English, Mathematics, and Science. The best teaching style in my opinion, explains how to research, plan and write essays, gives students time to practice these skills in class, and ensures students get feedback on how well they have done on each sub-skill. Students learn skills by using them in a realistic, subject-specific context, and in a combin

While earning my degree in earth and atmospheric science I was a tutor to underclassmen at my university in the subjects of earth science and geography. I have a firm understanding of earth science, meteorology, geography, physics and geology. As a senior, I completed extensive research in 3 upper level classes, completing a 6 credit independent study class with an A as well as two other independent study classes with A's. I enjoy teaching and instructing young children how to ride horses in my free time. I enjoy teaching individuals as well as small groups, understanding each person has specific needs and study habits. My goal is to help you and your child find a study method that works and leads to an understanding of a subject. I strive to get to know you and your child and make a subject easy to understand by breaking down complex ideas and concepts to 'everyday terms'. I attempt to

I believe all children are creative and eager to learn. I enjoy the challenge of unlocking the avenue to their learning style. All children can succeed if given the tools for their personal style. As an educator I consider this my primary task. All learning comes naturally from that point on with effort and guidance. My strong points are patience,understanding,creativity,and life long learning as an adult. I think the last point is extremely important as a tool for modeling the younger generations. This creates a relaxed instructor/student repoire while setting high unspoken expectations. Having graduated as an artist who expanded to art and elementary education I come from a diversified background. I have taught in the public,private and home schooled sectors. Being an accomplished artist and teacher I enjoy combining the two aspects of my abilities to create and foster the love of

I teach the way I counsel--by expecting self-responsibility. I use humor to enhance one's motivation to seek out and focus on one's strengths. I am not a coddler--I believe that higher expectations result in higher performance. When coupled with empathy, faith in the individual and strong foundations of skills, success is inevitable. I have been supervising other counselors since 1997 in their report-writing. I take pride in my writing skills in the face of a field riddled with nurses who prefer abbreviations to beautifully executed coherent sentences. The sheer eloquence of being able to deliver a report allowing the reader to infer the true meaning of your words, while not providing any statements that will give fuel to a legal representative is a time-earned skill. In addition to my writing skills, I have 14 years of business skills, extensive analytical skills, which transfe
