A Little Bit About Me...

I have been a tutor for the last few years, and I officially became a level 1 and level 2 certifiet tutor through the college reading and learning associations. I have worked with students and peers in basic math, and algebra subjects as well as biology and advanced science courses. I am a recent college graduate with a degree in Biology and minors in chemistry and psychology. I graduated with honors and I am also a former student athlete. I know a great deal about how to work with students as my mom is n elementary school teacher and I have volunteered with her classes multiple times and I have also given pitching lessons to younger kids in my hometown. I have also had experience working with my peers and college aged students as I worked as a course tutor throughout my time in college.

More About This Tutor...

I am a mother of 3 children who are all very successful students. My eldest will graduate a semester early from college this month. My middle child is a junior in college and my youngest child is a senior in high school who will be entering college next fall. I speak of my children because I have helped them whenever they have had problems with their studies. When my older two were in elementary school, I was a coach for their Odyssey of the Mind teams. I pride myself on my understanding of grammar and am very good with math as well. I tutored elementary school students as a part-time job in college and later tutored students in my son's class.
I understand that any child can run into problems with schoolwork. I try to find out why the child is having a problem before trying to help them. Did he miss something and fall behind? Is she simply bored with the subject? The approa ... read more

As tutors we must recognize their individual learning styles along with their strengths and weaknesses to help them succeed. Most children seem to learn best visually and kinesthetically. Through pre-testing, we can learn where the child needs to start instruction and to look for gaps in learning that often cause confusion interfering with their ability to learn a particular concept. We must most of all be patient to reduce anxiety which can interfere with learning and build a rapport with each child.
After receiving a B.S. degree in elementary education (1-8) and an ESL certification, I taught K-6 for 13 years. After that, I was a math consultant for one year. For the next 6 years, I tested, diagnosed, and wrote psycho-educational reports for students to see if they qualified for placement in special education classes and set up their individual educational programs. Later, I ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

The visual-auditory-kinesthetic or VAK method of instruction is a hands-on, child-involved method that reaches students with all types of learning needs. It is my primary teaching strategy utilized. I find it important to match reading material,(utilizing both student ability and interest levels,)to promote maximum reading success. I offer flexibility and much enthusiasm for each subject that I teach. I am a life long learner, as conveyed in countless ways to my students. I'm caring, kind, patient and understand my students' needs and abilities. I find it imperative to not only applaud my students' strengths but also to encourage the "weaker" skills that they possess. I have good rapport with students and their families as well.
The last six years I have taught using a most effective multi-sensory method of instruction for children with language-based differences, both as a fu ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I obtained my licensure through NCTEACH in Specific Learning Disabilities. I am Highly Qualified by way of Praxis exam. I have taught grades 6-12 in almost all disability identifications primarily math and language arts; however, have supported various other subject areas.
I believe that all students, regardless of gender, socioeconomic environment or ability, can learn and should be challenged with creative and applicable opportunities to achieve their best. Understanding that not all individuals learn in the same way, at the same rate or retention level, my responsibility as an educator is to create a safe learning environment that facilitates academic, social, and emotional growth that is developmentally appropriate. This enables those students entrusted to me to become active and contributing members of the community and encourages life-long learning.

More About This Tutor...

I come from a family of educators -- a college professor, a principal, an elementary school teacher, and a school counselor and basketball coach. I think all of these members of my family have influenced me in a positive way in regards to teaching. I am a compassionate, patient person and am willing to help when people need it. I have been told by fellow classmates that I should become a teacher. I also have experience in a school-structured summer camp in which training was obtained and a curriculum was followed.
I have completed courses in algebra, calculus, statistics, physics, chemistry, organic chemistry, cell biology, ecology, and other biology related courses all of which require a high math and science competency. I have also performed extensive research at UNCC and graduated with a 3.1. I have also tutored college students in chemistry and algebra on the side.

A Little Bit About Me...

I recently graduated from Texas A&M University earning a BS in biology with a 3.75 GPA. I have taken course work in many disciplines of biology as well as chemistry, biochemistry, physics, algebra, statistics, and English. The curriculum emphasized the importance of integrating concepts rather than memorizing individual points. I developed strong organizational and writing skills. I believe that the ability to articulate your thoughts concisely on paper leads to a better understanding of the material and ability to communicate with others. I have unofficially tutored fellow classmates in algebra and physiology. I was given the opportunity to tutor children grades 1-4 in a local after school program in reading, spelling, and mathematics.
My most recent job was as a nursery caregiver at a church, where I was also a teaching assistant for Bible study. I enjoyed working with the childr ... read more

Coming from an academic family with a father who is a Philosophy professor and a mother who studied child developmental psychology, I understand the importance of a quality education. I earned two bachelor degrees, one in Spanish and one in Anthropology. I have linguistic and cultural competence because of many years of traveling. I am an avid reader in Spanish and English. I hope to go back to school to get my PhD in Applied Anthropology. I have written ethnographic research papers as well as various other types of essays and vignettes. When I traveled to Guatemala last summer, I volunteered as an English teacher and taught a class of about 15 teenagers. I also tutored 3 children who were about 11 to 12 years old in English while in Guatemala. Now, I am tutoring a 25 year old mother from El Salvador; we meet every week for 2 hours.

As a teacher I feel that I will bring more than just the standard teaching requirements to the table. Throughout my own education at Kent State University, I had many experiences and opportunities that inspired me to be passionate and committed to educating students for the future. I hope to be a role model for my students by making a difference in their lives while showing them how important they are to me. I also understand that in order to complete these goals, collaboration and self reflection make all the difference. I am always open to critique my teaching in order to better assist my students.
Currently I am employed part time at Oakley Elementary as a Title I Reading Assistant.During my days at Oakley, I tutor small groups in reading.I recently graduated from Kent State University in December of 2009 with a Bachelor of Science in Education.

I've devoted my life to working with youth. My teaching style is to make the material as interactive as possible. Not all students learn in the same fashion. As a teacher my job is to use a method that best suits each individual student. My style is patient and easy going while making learning fun. I strive to provide the tools and techniques to allow each student to work toward their potential. As we all know from our years in school, there were a small number of teachers that really made a positive impact by how they taught and facilitated the class. I strive to be one of those teachers.
I have spent the last 30 years working with children and families in providing education, information and entertainment. I've been a full time teacher, a substitute teacher, and a tutor for children grades K-12. My company creates education product for the family market. I have earned a masters d ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

After working with adults and my peers in Boston, I've come to appreciate how rewarding teaching is. I believe that not all students learn the same way and thus aim to be as flexible as possible with each new pupil in order for them to get the most out of our time together. This may include physical expressions of a concept, pictures, or well-organized notes gone over orally. People learn well through positive reinforcement and helping children feel good about themselves while learning will not only provide a strong foundation for self-esteem, but also promote a positive connection with knowledge for years to come. I hope to help shape the future generations to be as aware about the world as they can.
Through the experience of pursuing my degree at Boston University, I was exposed to many different styles of learning and teaching due to my interdisciplinary concentration in Latin A ... read more

I have Bachelor's Degrees in English & Spanish, a Master's Degree in English, and am rated 'advanced low' on the Arabic Oral Proficiency exam. My Spanish training includes 42 college level credit-hours, as well as a semester studying in Mexico. I have tutored language for native and non-native speakers on high-school and college levels. I also taught the high school curriculum, including Social Studies, Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, Physical Science, English and Geography to a class of JobCorps candidates who had been failing students, many with special learning needs, and helped all of them to graduate with diplomas within 5 months. I am self-taught and proficient on all MS applications, plus HTML-, CSS-, PHP- and Java-based design.

More About This Tutor...

As a liberal arts student, I was taught to pursue the bridge between science and understanding. My education has fostered in me an appreciation of learning, and a belief that comprehension is attainable through multiple avenues. If a student struggles by one avenue, then I believe it is my job to pave another. A student must be able to not only know an answer, but also understand how they themselves got to that answer. I strive to nurture a love of learning, and try to pass on that passion. I have ADHD and dyslexia, and as such have an understanding of the difficulties that a student can have when trying to learn. For some students, it is not enough to merely teach them, but they must be taught how to teach themselves.
I earned my BS in Biology at a liberal arts school. My education has given me a scientific training that is bolstered with an in depth knowledge of the humanities. T ... read more
