I have always loved learning and have earned several degrees in Psychology (BA), Art (AA), Spanish (Minor) and Psychometry (Tests and Measurement) (EdS) and continue to educate myself (School Psychology, PhD candidate), all of which have centered around learning and instruction. In addition, having worked in the schools for over 6 years has allowed me to learn the process by which many teachers instruct and I have developed a repertoire of helpful strategies and interventions that are based in scientific research. As part of my job in the public schools I have an extensive knowledge of tests and evaluations as well as experience working with students with unique learning styles. I have children of my own and have always enjoyed experiencing learning through their eyes and observing the different ways in which they learn. I am comfortable working with all age ranges and can accommodate s

As the child of a school system administrative professional, I have always spent extra time in the school environment. As a high school freshman I began to tutor elementary school students based on the needs highlighted by their teachers. I spent a lot of time working one on one with English as a secound language students. I assisted with their writting, reading, and basic math skills. Additionally I work particularly well with withdrawn children who need special attention. My teaching style is simple. As it has not been professionally nurtured I have taken my ques from those I have taught. It is simply to provide what is needed. I prefer to spend time with a student and learn what works for them. I believe trial of multiple styles to find success is critical to each student. Additionally, there is nothing wrong with having fun while you learn!

Since I am an engineering student, I have always been interested and excelled in math and science, so I have tutored many kids in all areas of science and mathematics. I have also tutored in Spanish and French. Last year, I worked with a young man who had dyslexia. I have helped kids of all ages, whether at the elementary, high school, or collegiate level. I am a very patient person, a trait which I believe is very beneficial for a tutor to possess. I am always patient when teaching, and in doing so have succeeded in getting my point across. I like to pass on small tricks and acronyms that I have came up with for many things, some of which I have still retained to this day for my own personal use, not just for school work.

When I approach a student I've never worked with, my first priority is to make them feel comfortable by letting them see that I am a very nice, friendly, and compassionate person that they might like to have as a friend. Next I try to get them to tell me about themselves in some way (what they've been working on, their favorite subjects) to try to encourage them to speak freely with me about what they're thinking. Then, after personal rapport is established, I begin my academic approach to tutoring by finding out how they think based on their interests or common themes, and I try to connect the material to these things. Children have trouble learning, often because the addressed concepts don't relate to their lives. I strive to connect the material to them, demonstrate its influence on their interests, and allow them to greet the academic engagement as some sort of useful tool, not a

I am a very experienced tutor. I have tutored math, reading, writing, history, ESL, and other subjects to students of all ages from elementary school through adult education. I am a specialist in SAT preparation (both math and verbal) with extensive experience helping many students score significant gains on their tests. I also have taught and tutored the ACT, LSAT,GED, and SAT II tests. I also have taught English and Literature courses at colleges. In addition, I am a journalist and a playwright whose plays and musicals have been performed in theaters nationwide. My students have always found me to be extremely enthusiastic, thoroughly prepared, and genuinely concerned about their progress and success. I am very patient and encouraging, and I will keep working with students until they truly understand the material. I have had great success with students of all ages

As a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, I have a proven track record of success. I am currently pursuing a MS Degree at Full Sail University and my current GPA is a 4.0. I completed my BA degree in Music in 2007. While studying at UNC I took extensive course in Education and during that time was pursuing an Education Degree as part of the NC Teaching Fellows Program. I have worked in several schools and academic programs since August of 2003. These programs have given me the opportunity to both teacher and tutor students on all grade levels. I enjoy working with students and watching their growth and development academically. My approach to each student is different because I understand each will need a different approach. Initially with each student I identify his or her strengths and weaknesses with the material. While building on their strengths, I attempt to

I have done student teaching at the high school level in Math, specifically, Geometry and Trigonometry. I created innovative new ways to use the materials on hand to reawaken students' natural mathematical curiosity and to exemplify the concepts of the courses. I have done one semester of long term substitute work in which I taught underprivileged children Physics and Physical Science. I had to design the curriculum from the ground up because they had rotating substitutes before I took over. Beyond that, I have taught numerous and varied college labs and recitations in the UNC physics department, and I have tutored for those same classes. I have also recently started tutoring high school students in the area. My teaching style is a mixture of direct instruction and discovery based learning whose components depend on the student(s) at hand. I've been known to make generalized lesson

The taste of success is a great motivator in education, but students are often exposed to destructive associations of failure. My teaching style is to provide the tools for a student to take accountability for their academic success in order to tap into their learning potential so that they can flourish. My goal is to enable a student to be a successful life-long learner. I am enthusiastic and motherly. I care for students. I adjust my approach based on various types of educational environments and students, traditional and non-traditional, accelerated to learning-challenged. I will work with a student to move beyond “I don’t get it!” in order to put the pieces together. I have helped others with their approach to learning for over 25 years. I tutored in several subjects in high school, and Algebra I in college. I developed several documents and training sessions during 14 years

I graduated from UNC Chapel Hill last Spring with a BA in Anthropology and a minor in both Creative Writing and Chinese. I graduated with a 3.99gpa and Highest Honors. I was selected to the Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society in my Senior Year. That year I also won the top individual creative writing prize from the University Chancellor. My work has been published and awarded in our school literary magazine. In addition to academic and creative success, I also have a lot of teaching experience. In 07, I taught English to disadvantaged 7th graders in Durham. In 08, I was a TA for an Anthropology course at Duke TIP, a program that works with gifted high school students. I have a lot of experience working with all ages of children. As a teacher, I try to maintain a respectful but friendly dialogue with the student.

I love working with children. I've taught acting at the Durham Arts Council for three years. The duties from that position included directing students in performances which I helped them create. The plays were written around themes chosen by the camp director. So, in essence, the children and I would research those themes and develop stories which I would then turn into plays using my expertise. Those plays would be performed every two weeks for the entire summer. I was responsible for preparing three classes for this project simultaneously. From my experiences teaching acting in Durham NC I know education can I know that learning can be fun. I hold a Bachelor's from UNC Greensboro where I majored in Psychology and theater arts, but also took many literature credits to fulfill a special educational program in which I was placed. this program was for gifted students.

I am a patient and empathetic tutor. I have come to realize that there is sometimes a correlation between students having problems in school, and having problems elsewhere. Sometimes they feel the need to discuss these things. I think it's important to listen, but on the other hand, not let that take up a great deal of time. I am able to redirect and focus the students' attention, and to explain things in different ways, if they don't understand the first time. I graduated from San Diego State University, with a B.A. in Social Sciences and a Biology minor (Animal Behavior), in 1995. Previously, I had served four years in the U.S. Navy from 1982-1986. During 2001-2003, I worked for Salem-Keizer School District in Oregon as a Special Programs Instructional Assistant. I worked primarily with an autistic child, but also assisted the other students in math and reading. I have excellen

As an honors graduate of Ohio Valley University, I acquired the skills and training necessary to effectively teach elementary age children as well as math students of all ages. I have superior skills in math and technology, but also possess extensive experience with writing and editing due to the current pursuit of a graduate degree. Throughout the past nine years, I have tutored many students in various subjects ranging from basic literacy skills to advanced calculus. I love teaching students of all ages. I believe that all students are capable learners. If given enough time and a supportive learning environment tailored to his/her own educational needs, each student will find success. I am patient, well-organized, and resourceful. My goal is to provide the insight and experiences needed to reach one's academic potential.

I have been tutoring since I was 13 years old. Parents of my peers always approached me to teach their son or daughter. After I completed high school with a 4.0 GPA I was hired at a professional tutoring school. There I worked for nearly 10 years with a loyal student base many of whom I taught the entire time. I taught kids from when they were in elementary school all the way until high school. Some students were ineligible to go to normal school so I was their only teacher for years. In that time I managed to get these students up to 4 years ahead in certain subjects like math and science. I've also taught students that could not even speak english when they came to me and in a short amount of time they were fluent. Teaching to me is about relating the information to the students in a way they can understand. It is very important to make the material relevant to their lives some
