During my high school career I was frequently called upon to be a teacher's assistant. This was over fourth, fifth, and sixth graders the majority of the time. I also tutored a fellow classmate in Algebra q, chemistry and biology. I also currently have a job tutoring two sixth graders in math and english. They were at a third grade level when I began and are now into the beginning of fifth grade work. I have only been working with them for approximately two months.

More About This Tutor...

Due to the fact that I was born and raised in Germany and have since lived in various foreign countries, I have adopted sensitivity when it comes to culture and characters. As a teacher I learned to be very observant before implementing a specific teaching strategy. Not only does every child have a different character, but they are all brought up in different surroundings and family constellations. Through my involvement in the Big Brother's Big Sister's program I learned that private family matters are directly related to acedemic success. As in my case tutoring involved building the child's confidence and self-esteem which ultimately had a positive effect on academics.
While working on my Management MBA in Largo, FL I was elected head of the English Learning Center, and held this position for two years. The purpose of the center was to tutor international students in the English ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a daughter in the 8th grade and a son in the 6th. I have home schooled them the past 9 years. They have very different learning styles which has helped me to learn to teach in different ways to accommodate their needs. I am patient and easy going and I love helping kids.
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration with a concentration in accounting. I have very strong math skills, especially in Algebra, which is what my daughter is learning now. I excelled in grammar, art, health, and science as well. I was a teacher at a private school for a year after college before I started a family and began home schooling. My daughter is now in the 8th grade and tests at the college level in reading and high school levels at most other subjects.

More About This Tutor...

I do not have a particular style of teaching. I prefer to talk to the individual I am tutoring and together discover the best way to teach them the subject material. I believe that everyone learns information at a different pace and that some information is easier to process than other information. I believe that individuals should be comfortable while learning in order for them to actually learn. I would never force someone to learn "my way" and would work with them on developing a way that works for both of us. I would also focus on teaching proper study habits so the individuals can apply them and possibly not need a tutor in the future.
I have wanted to help others learn for as long as I can remember; even as early as the fourth grade I was helping my classmates with assignments. I have always loved learning and helping others to learn. I earned a BS in Psychology in coll ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My approach is to establish a relationship with small talk and introductions. A parent must be present at all times. I will keep up with the child's work load in the respective subject and also be in contact with their teacher. But my inital style will be repetition, which I found to be most productive during my time in the military. However, I realize that there many different methods to teaching. I will offer as many tools or resources that are needed to assist the child in learning the subject matter. And I will search continually to find the best method for the child and subject that we will study.

More About This Tutor...

Sensitive to individual needs and learning styles, my educational approach involves an extensive selection of teaching modalities as well as organizational tools to enhance student success. My teaching style focuses on kinesthetic, inquiry-based activities which promote an active-learner environment. I believe that everyone can learn; by connecting new knowledge with previous knowledge and illustrating concepts with hands-on projects. While my student-based curriculum ensures that subject matter is presented correctly and completely, I also work with the student to create an individual framework of understanding of how each individual student learns. Empowering the student to organize, filter, and construct their own learning experience is a skill that can be applied to any course of study. I love to learn and I enjoy helping students find their own path to life long learning ... read more

My basic teaching style is to get to know the child and his or her strengths, create a loving and safe space where he or she can experience self expression, exploration, making choices, problem solving, being aware of his or her skills and talents. Within this process, children can successfully and meaningfully organize and integrate material and information to be learned and used. I use lots of approaches to help with organizing and learning, not excluding movement, art, music, brain integration activities, and personally discovered stategies that work for each individual.

A Little Bit About Me...

Since working with the disabled folks I have learned patience is a virtue. I also learned that each person is very unique and learns in different ways. I will meet your child's individual needs and try to show them a subject matter from a different point of view. I strongly believe that if a subject matter is presented in a more fun, exciting way to the student, it becomes more interesting and the child is given the chance to not only memorize material, but more importantly to internalize it.

I am an advocate of early intervention. Especially in the special education field, it is imperative to begin a child's learning at the earliest available time. I do not have a strict teaching style, but, instead, am flexible according to your child's passions and strengths. I believe it is best to transfer knowledge from what a child loves and excels across to those problem areas. I am patient and kind, and persevere in all that I do.
I recently graduated from Wake Forest University with a BA in Philosophy, and a minor in Psychology. Because my major concentration is broad, I have a strong background in various fields--math from years of logic, grammar from years of writing, and critical thinking. For the last 4 years, I have been working with children with autism in both the home and school settings. In this field, I have focused on increasing these children's expressive lan ... read more

Although I have not had very much tutoring or teaching experience I believe that my background in English and Sociology is a great foundation for my ability to futher other's education. I had various classes throughout college in which I had to teach a group of 15+ individuals about a particular book or subject matter we were covering. Over the last four yers I have been able to hone my critical thinking abilities and enhance my way of learning through group work and individual projects. I also was briefly involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters where I helped teach children how to read and write. In high school I was an assistant Sunday school teacher for three years.
