Judgement-free and effective!

- I am best with long-term subject tutoring (homework help and class notes) and test prep (for example, a review session before an intimidating unit test). - I usually teach conversationally through lots of problem solving targeted on your weak areas. However, if you want to try something different, please let me know!
*If you contact me, please send me an email address at which I can reach you! Thank you. If I have availability you will hear from me within 24 hours.* I'm a recent Princeton engineering grad and current Northwestern engineering PhD student with 7 years of tutoring experience.

My comments on tutoring SAT - Verbal : 20 yrs exp

Simply put: My teaching style is student-centered, and so is my tutoring style. I start where the student is now, and go from there, working from strengths and shoring up weaknesses. Most importantly, I develop a plan of "action," by the end of the very first session, so I waste neither the time of the student nor the money of the parent/payor.
Over 20 years of experience teaching ESL speaking, reading, writing, grammar and vocabulary to levels ranging from literacy to near-fluency. An ESL training film was made about my teaching style in 2003 by the ALRC, Adult Language Resource Center in Arlington Heights,IL. In 2005, I patented a revolutionary system for teaching keyboarding / typing to both adults and adolescents. Concomitantly, 12 years of preparing students for the TOEFL examination. 20 years of experience teaching high school English---Grammar and Compostion; Literatu ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Each student is unique. Therefore, I use a variety of teaching styles, strategies, methods and techniques depending on the individual's needs and abilities. A special needs student may need hands on lessons or visual learning activities. Someone else may be an audio learner. I analyze the situation, differentiate between teaching strategies and implement the most effective one. My success goes beyond the actual lessons or my experience. It's is due to the fact that I truly love teaching, thrive on the positive interactions and maintain high expectations for myself and the student. I am very flexible, patient and knowledgeable. I strive to meet the needs of the students in order for them to be successful and confident.
I began teaching 22 years ago at a middle school and later taught high school when I relocated to the beach. I also tutored at a local community college. The ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Learning happens when students are not only engaged by the teacher and the material presented, but also sees the relevance of the subject matter in their own lives. Learning occurs in classrooms where students are comfortable making mistakes. Learning results when expectations are high, the praise forthcoming, and the criticism gentle. I consider teaching a form of parenting. It is my job to provide order, structure, and security. It is also my job to regard each student as an individual, to challenge each student appropriately, to recognize individual strengths and weaknesses and to provide various approaches for learning so that all students can be successful.
As a graduate of Northwestern University with a B.A. in Classics and a parent of an Ivy League graduate, I place a high value on quality education. My experience as an adjunct faculty member of the Pace Program at Nation ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My passion is developing the full potential of my students by providing them with the skills that foster the ability to solve problems and think for themselves. While any discipline requires rigorous training and a mastery of its facts, quality instruction also awakens the ability to see connections, think critically, and apply one's learning to evaluate contemporary problems or historical events. Accomplished teachers utilize as many teaching styles and methods as there are kinds of students and levels of proficiency. I construct my classes on the basis of guided discovery. The challenge is to make history come alive by arousing the imagination and effectively placing students in other worlds.

Read More About Victoria C...

In my view, education is an ongoing process. I believe successful learning is mutual between teacher and student. In my view it is also imperative to foster a culture of respect in the classroom, to stay true to the subject matter, and to keep up with new developments in the field. But at the same time, I advocate being somewhat slow to embrace every new teaching trend since they may come and go. Finally, as a professional educator I endeavor to treat students/parents as clients and other teachers/administrators/ staff members as colleagues. True education as way of life never ends!
In the mid-to-late 1980s I led workshops and served as a chaperone for U.S. and international foreign exchange program students aged 16-19 under the auspices of American Field Services (AFS). Then in the late 1980s and mid-1990s, I taught the basic speech course (public speaking) at several urban ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I started my teaching career as a Teach For America corps member in Atlanta, Georgia, where I taught sixth grade language arts at Crawford Long Middle School. Most recently, I had the honor of teaching at KIPP: LEAD College Prep Charter School in Gary, Indiana. I previously held Language Arts Certificates (6-12) in both Georgia and Indiana. I also have experience tutoring college freshmen in an introductory college writing seminar.
Teaching was never a job for me, but rather a way to practice a passion. I believe that every child possesses the ability to learn and it is the responsibility of educators to cultivate such talent and foster growth. I believe in helping students reach their potential by teaching them to pose and answer questions about the world around them. My classroom was a place where children were excited about learning. I made sure to convey my love of the English ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I believe in mutual respect for intelligence and expect productive and active participation from the student in their pursuit. Depending on the student, I might engage them in an appropriate book about their topic, ask them to find a magazine/newspaper article, tell me a personal story to identify with what it is we are reading about. This would depend greatly on their assignment, writing/reading skills, and interest. I feel every high school student needs to feel their mentors are supportive and appreciate their efforts, so I work best when I feel I am a part of a larger team incorporating the student, their family and teacher.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a recipient of higher levels of education, I know the career opportunities that such an education opens up later in life. And I am motivated to share my knowledge and inspire others to access those opportunities as well. The first thing I do is to determine the level of learning that a student is open to and start there. That helps me to adjust my teaching according to the needs of the students. I am a patient teacher and I allow the students to reach their potential through gentle guidance.
Obtaining a Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering has exposed me to advanced courses of Math and Science, two subjects which have always fascinated me. I have pursued and achieved excellence in these areas all through my school years and my post graduation career as an industrial engineer has only advanced my knowledge in these areas. English language has been a strong interest of mine ... read more
