PSAT Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Saint Marys City, MD

I have been an educator for almost 20 years. I began my teaching career as a substitute teacher and immediately fell in love with teaching children with special needs. Desiring to continue to teach, I finished a Master's degree which gave me the endorsements to teach K-12 children with special needs. Since then, I have taught reading and mathematics to both children with special needs and regular education children at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. As I gained a greater thirst to do more to help children, outside of teaching in the public school setting, I bagan tutoring. Between teacing within the public school and tutoring outside of the public school setting, I gained a great deal of experience when it comes to identifying strategies that cause children to learn and retain what they have learned. After all was said and done, I finally capped my educational aspir

As a person who works with various groups of people, I continuously find helping others reach their full potential exciting and rewarding.

I have earned a Bachelor degree in Electrical Engineering and working on my Master's degree in Engineering Management. Both degrees have helped me gain knowledge in math, science and in information technology. My grammatical skills are good due to writing a lot of research papers and lab reports. In my spare time, I had help other friends in the subject of math of different levels, from college algebra to Calculus III. I love teaching. Whenever a friend needed help, I was always there to help them out with their school work. I am a good tutor and I'm patient and considerate. My goal is always to make sure that they understand the subject rather than just having them complete homework.

As a coach, I pay close attention to pedagogy as well as to the needs and learning styles of my students. With a very interdisciplinary background education in materials science and engineering physics, I bring rich applications to the classroom and thereby place the teaching of mathematics and physics into context for my students. I integrate technology into students’ learning experiences - using PowerPoint presentations and/or handouts from my lecture notes and outlines, requiring students to fill in some intentional blanks during class or their private study thereby keeping them engaged on the content. I ask appropriate leading and probing questions to explore the student’s lower and higher order thinking skills – cf. Bloom’s taxonomy. A multi-lingual professional educator and research scientist with 20+ years of experience, I majored in engineering/energy physics and materials scie

I enjoy teaching individuals of all ages and cultures. I adopt a hands on approach to learning and have extreme patience for slower learners. My main goal during teaching is to help one have a better understanding of the subject by relating to the material. To reach this goal it is imperative that I am resourceful enough to provide my students with vital and accurate information. During high school I interned in a first grade classroom for one year in which I planmed/taught lessons. I also have young siblings and family members which I help with assignments on a daily basis. In college, I tutored students taking various Psychology courses. I enjoy conducting research, reading scientific articles, analyzing and interpreting data.

As a University of Buea graduate with a bachelor of sciences degree in Chemistry and Botany I have a sound knowlege in Sciences and Mathematics. I have been a paraeducator at Mongomery County Public Schools (MCPS) Maryland for over three years, during which I established sound relationships with students and staff based on mutual trust. I have an extra 51 credit hours of study in mathematics and sciences along with lab work, American English-during which I acquired extensive gramatical skills due to writing research and essay papers in a broad domain of study. Teaching is a passion to me and I have a sense of accomplishment when I share or give back what I have been privilleged to acquire in my studies of sciences and math. I teach by example. For instance I will know that my students have understood when they perform a return demonstration. I am a nice guy and work with my students by

I believe in the power of positive teaching. I think that most students live up to or down to your expectations. If you expect them to do well, they frequently do. Sometimes all that is needed is for teachers and other persons whose opinions matter to exhibit faith in the student's ability. But it is also often necessary to help them identify what doesn't work and find new approaches that will. Writing is a skill that is crucial to academic success in college; students must excel in writing to do well in an academic environment. Writing is also a useful skill when it comes to thinking and to organizing one's thoughts. I am most comfortable with tutoring students who are preparing for college. Public school is not always rigorous enough for gifted students. When instruction fails to keep students engaged, they learn poor study habits. Ideally, students master study techniques before enter

I am Paine College graduate. I earned a BS in Mathematics and Computer Science in 2006. While at Paine College I took variety of science classes including organic chemistry, atmospheric science, and cell biology. Since graduating, I have spent two years as a high school math teacher. I have also tooken graduate work in mathematic and math education. For the past eight years I have also work or volunteered as a personal math tutor. Teaching is something that is not meant for everyone. I am fortunate to say that my academic success is due to my ability to break down any material to a basic ideal and teach the materials in mutiple ways. The most important thing I do is make the material appeal to any individuals. Once these things are established, I believe student can effectivly learn and grow.

I am actually in the process with my students, their victories are my victories. I want my students to be proud of the work that they have done and the achievements that they have made. I give my students the information, I show them how to apply the information through modeling, I practice with them and then I release them to apply the technique themselves. Afterward I assign an project for an artifact that allows them through written words to translate their knowledge to another person. It is my goal to prepare them for life outside of the classroom, failure is not an option. I have a proven success rate in assisting my students in excelling on standardized tests. In the 2007-2008 school year my students achieved double digit gains on the MSAs (Middle School Assessments). Also during my experience I have moved basic and proficient students to advanced levels on the standardized

While completing my masters in Special Education, I have learned creative ways to help children with special needs that I work with. I have designed and coordinated a Resource Center to help students with special needs learn and achieve at their level. I have also designed and implemented a school for children with special needs. I believe that every child has a right to learn. I believe that, no matter what kind of problem or learning disability that student has, that he/she deserves to learn. It is the responsibility, not only of the teacher, but the parents, grandparents, siblings and community to help children receive the best education that they can. I believe that all children learn differently. Some learn through doing; some through listening; others are a combination. I teach to each child in the way that best helps them to learn.

I believe that each student is truly a unique individual with different strengths and weaknesses. I think it is important to work with each student on a one to one basis; assess their personal needs and focus on them. Not every student learns the same so it is extremely important to take notice of the different personalities and do my best to adhere them. I think that education is truly a powerful tool. I believe that with the proper instruction and overall support, a student may use their education to achieve their dreams. As a teacher/tutor I feel it is my responsiblity to teach with a passion that shows my students how I truly believe in what I am teaching them. Since graduating with my BA in English I have decided to return to school to earn my Secondary Teaching License. I have developed a great desire to pursue a career in teaching English; to hopefully teach young adults the be
