Although I only took two semesters of Sociology in college, they were taught by a very intense and demanding professor who assigned a lot of work and books to read, and formulated incredibly difficult exams, I aced both classes, and tutored Sociology for over 10 years. So basically, I believe I a more than qualified to teach the subject more than competently. Extremely Interactive and Student-Specific Methods Tailored to each Student's Needs & Goals I consider myself to be a uniquely seasoned, qualified, and experienced tutor who can adapt to any situation and to any student in order to benefit their education and learning experience. Due to my ability to teach and tutor children and adults of all ages, (in addition to my own near-perfect scores on the SAT & ACT) I was one of the first Instructors hired by PrepExpert, a national company that specializes in preparing students for the SAT,

I'm a follower of traditional teaching methods. I believe in the unique triangular team-centered approach involving myself, students and parents. Creating Independent Learners by setting an atmosphere that is nurturing and promotes critical thinking skills by asking questions thus creating Independent learners. My experience dates back to when I was in high school in the early 80's tutoring students and family members. I've also taught classes on Management of Aggressive Behavior / Appled Non-Violence to mental health professionals throughout the Las Vegas Valley and surrounding communities.

I thoroughly enjoy working with the elderly population and children as well. If given the opportunity, I would prefer to work with older clientel. I am a very patient, and reserved person when it comes to teaching others new skills. I have realized that not every individual will learn at the same pace or have the success rate as others. It is important to take each person on a individual basis, and if we work together we will meet the goals that are wanted by both of us. I graduated from the University of Nevada Las Vegas in 2007 with a BA in communication studies. The curriculum at UNLV has given me a solid foundation in both my written and verbal communication skills. I also completed the gerontology program as well in 2007. I have been involved with senior theater programs, and I am currently mentoring for a non-profit organization. The program is for senior men who are 55 years of ag

My interest in becoming a tutor stems from my life long passion for teaching and learning. Throughout the past eight years, I have focused my efforts on soaking up my education and research experiences across many subdivisions in the field of Psychology. My education ranges from expertise in Social Psychology to Cognitive Neuroscience, however is not limited to these domains. While working toward my graduate degree I was involved in analyzing vast amounts of data, writing scientific manuscripts, and general laboratory management. In addition to this, I also taught a weekly seminar for undergraduates that worked in my laboratory and tutored them throughout the week in how to learn and implement various research techniques. Thus, throughout my education and research experience I have developed superior skills in mathematics, writing, and communication that are critical to being an excellen

I recently graduated from the University of Colorado with a bachelor's degree in architecture which allowed me to be very understanding of math and science while also gaining a strong inclination to creativity. I taught swimming lessons and tennis lessons to children for five years and I previously worked at a summer day camp for kids ages 3-13. I am CPR and Red Cross certified, and I have a great passion for working with children. I took advanced placement English and math classes in high school and in college I used my electives towards classes such as creative writing, economics, psychology, and education classes. As I complete my teaching certification and masters of education at UNLV, I hope to help children through school by becoming a tutor. I come from a family of seven children, four of them younger than me, and three of them adopted from the Philippines. Growing up in this

My teaching style is somewhat relaxed so that I can encourage my students to open up. When I first begin tutoring someone I let them do things their way rather than tell them how to do something. Then, I tell them that if their method isn't working, we will try it my way. In addition to teaching them the material, I try to pass off good studying habits as well. For example, rather than help a student write a paper by simply editing their paper, I try to show the student how helpful brainstorming is, and/or how to create an efficient, simple outline. I also try to find at least one thing a student is good at and encourage him in that area. Once a student realizes he is good at something, he feels more confident in other areas as well. I started tutoring in NYC when I was a junior in high school. I tutored a sixth grader and an eighth grader, and helped them with all of their homewo

My teaching style can be described in two words: persistent and patient. I believe that the reason why a student may seem disinterested in education is due to fear of not understanding the subject, embarrassment of failure, and/or lack of self-motivation or focus. But all of these can be overcome with a persistent tutor who does not give up on the student, and who is patient to understand that the student just needs more time and work. I believe that all students have the potential to accomplish goals and triumph over any learning impediments. During the last two years that I have been tutoring I have thoroughly enjoyed helping students to overcome impediments and improve their skills. As a recent college graduate, I uphold and advocate the educational experience as an essential part of life. It not only expands our mental capabilities, but also builds confidence into individuals.

I believe as a tutor one should be open-minded and able to relate to their students. I possess this quality. I have a history of making and maintaining a strong connection with my students. I believe that if I show interest in their life as well as their studies they become more comfortable with me, therefore creating better communication and respect. I am a full-time college student. My strengths are math and science. During my first year of college, I took five math classes and received an "A" in all of them. Based on my ACT scores, I began college in Calculus I. Upon enrollment at UNLV, my goal was to become a forensic pathologist, but my interests have steered towards business. I am now pursuing a triple major in Marketing, International Business, and Secondary Education along with minors in Accounting, Finance, and International Language.

I believe that all children have the ability to succeed. The key is to allow a child to feel empowered to have mastery over the material. Often time teachers explain new material in only one way. As a tutor I strive to find your child's learning style to help them understand the material, and learn good study habits early. I am patient and kind but believe that your child can be challenged to succeed. I also believe that it is important for student and teacher to trust and respect each other. Parents, teachers, tutors, and student are all key to the success of your child! As a student I was an honors student who maintained an "A" average in high school, college, and in my masters program. Before earning a BS in Psychology, I completed two years as an Elementary Education major. Although I decided to focus my career as a therapist, I have utilized this education by becoming both a substit

During my five years of undergraduate work, I was very involved in the area of child education and care. I was a volunteer for Big Brothers/Big Sisters in Wisconsin, where I worked on elementary basic skills and study skills with an eight year old boy with autism. I also tutored a ten year old boy and a six year old boy in all general areas of study during my summers, with an emphasis on reading comprehension, grammar, and organization and study skills. My studies at the Universite de Caen Basse-Normandie, in Normandy, France, enhanced both my comprehension and my expression of the French language to the point where I would be confident teaching the building blocks of the language to children at the elementary, middle, or high school level.

I have been a substitute teacher for the school district for 4years now. I have taught in a variety of settings including, but not limited to severe special ed, autism, ADHD, K-6 grades in diversifed settings. I am a patient person and I feel that is very important in any learning environment. I believe in empowering all students to strive for their best potential, I feel there is no such thing as "failure" but there is a thing called "feedback". I have a lot of empathy for children. In addition children can learn anything if we break it down into bits and pieces.

I discovered my passion for instructing, tutoring, and working with youth during my experience as a substitute teacher. I understand that every student has their own unique way of learning, and I believe in a patient approach that will help a student build confidence in the subject matter, and develop good study habits. I think the greatest legacy a person can leave in life is a good impression on younger generations, and therefore I take each teaching opportunity seriously. I graduated from the University of Nevada, Reno in May of 2009 with a Bachelor's of Science in Geography, an interdisciplinary field which enabled me to cover a broad area of subject matter throughout my studies. From studying abroad in Italy, and working abroad in Ecuador, I have a knowledge of Spanish and Italian.
