More About This Tutor...

I not only enjoy teaching and training individuals, but also have been successful with training large groups of employees. I generally create manuals, which parallel a PowerPoint presentation used during the actual training session. I have also taught piano to children and adults, from beginners to advanced levels.
Throughout my career, I have utilized my writing, research, analysis, and presentation skills to develop and conduct training programs, write manuals, and deliver presentations to all levels of management and staff. Specifically, I have written an "Effective Business Writing Manual" for employees who had been identified as needing basic grammar and writing skills. I have also written training materials for legal purposes, including, E-Discovery.

More About This Tutor...

I studied education at Montclair State University for 4 years but I have a always been a teacher. From leadership roles in high school to corporate training, I have a talent for being able to boil subjects down to their basics and provide true understanding. My strongest subjects are Math, Music, and Literature. I can also do work in Science, English and Humanities/Social Studies.
I teach people to learn and find answers on their own. I guide the student through exercises in any field and try to avoid straight memorization by putting the subject is some kind of context. I keep up with current trends and technology and can use that to aid in relationships and teaching.

A Little Bit About Me...

A diverse education at Wesleyan University has prepared me to tutor many high school subjects. I earned my BA at Wesleyan in Music but I almost double majored in Environmental Science. The high expectations of professors at Wesleyan pushed me to greatly improve my writing ability, with my music thesis earning me honors in music. Environmental sciences sharpened my science and mathematic ability. Extensive courses in music prepared me to tutor music students in any background or concentration.
I greatly enjoy finding a way to inspire a child to understand the problem at hand. Through from my experience in grade school and my observation of students that attend tough schools I've realized the monotonous class schedule and disciplinary philosophy of most schools deflates most student's desire to succeed. While I can relate to this rebellious reaction I also know that it is no ex ... read more

I believe in order for success a student has to understand the basics in order to solve increasingly complicated problems in school. When tutoring I make sure that when a student is solving a problem they not only understand what they are doing but why they are doing it. I enjoy tutoring and helping others to understand something that may have given them problems. I am patient and easy going. I have tutored a wide range of students from middle school into college. When tutoring I strive to make I teach my students in ways that suite them best to help them remember the how and why to solving problems.
I have earned my Liberal Arts & Science degree. I am attempting to get my bachelors in Computer Science and Engineering. Obtaining the degree has allowed me an understanding of cultures, concept and function of culture, and major developments in western civilization. I can read, ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that there is no such thing as a "bad" student/child. There are children that need more help and attention than others but everyone deserves the same amount of effort. I am very patient and laid back and really want to provide the best care possible to all children that I teach. I believe that students learn best when they are completely involved in the lesson. I like hands-on activities and less lecturing. The children that I teach now could testify to my ability to bring humor into the classroom and to make sure that learning is fun.
I received my BA from one of the top liberal arts colleges in the country. In addition to my psychology degree, I also studied Spanish extensively. Based on the liberal arts education that I received, I am fully capable of teaching a number of subjects including Spanish, History, and English. Currently, I teach Spanish and US Histor ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am currently self-employed as a computer software trainer. My practice includes clients as well as groups. As part of my work, I'm currently an adjunct professor at 2 local community colleges. I'm also a Sunday school teacher at my local congregation. I've been doing this for many years. My classes over the years have ranged from K-6th grade. I thoroughly enjoy it and it's fair to say I get more than I give. Finally, I also teach adult ed as part of my business. My catalog includes not only computer courses but also piano, voice, guitar, and songwriting, as well as any other courses that I feel confident in teaching. I'm also a musician and believe in music, where possible, as part of my teaching philosophy.
People who've seen me teach describe me as relaxed, focused, and funny. For better or worse (I like to think better), I believe in age appropriate humor as part of an ove ... read more
