EXPERT TUTOR-MultiSubject; Home/ONLINE; +WRITING instructor

As a tutor, I find that it is important to present the material to the students in a way that they can relate to. My job as an educator is to teach them how to learn it and make them want to learn it. I personally do not believe that negative reinforcement is beneficial. Positive responses to students are extremely valuable, even if they may occasionally give the wrong answer. This will give them the motivation to do well. My philosophy is that teaching is part knowledge, part communication, and part intuition. My intuition is necessary to understand where a student is getting stuck. I myself already understand the material; the challenge is to understand why a student does not. A variety of communicative teaching approaches is best. I have learned that different students respond to visual, auditory, or tactile methods. As always, continuous practice is extremely important. I also must ... read more

Hello! I am a recent graduate thrilled to tutor others in the exciting world of biology. I understand that the subject matter can at times be intimidating, therefore I am a very patient tutor who will adapt to student's pace so that learning can take place. I am similarly excited about writing, having assisted many fellow students in college with papers on various subjects, as well as earning all A's and B's in every English course taken in college. I have experience working with school aged children as a former Girl Scout Troop Leader, as well as young adults as a former mentor. If you are looking for an energetic, understanding tutor I look forward to working with you.

I loved teaching. Beside my engineering goals, I love to share my knowledges to other people in need. I worked and have experience teaching all mathematics level.I believe that all children deserve education and the only way we can achieve this is by transferring what we have as knowledge to the others. A good teacher is the one who combines his or her knowledge with patience because that is the only we can get to the level of student who have difficulties, understand them and helping to bring them to improve their reasonning skills.
I graduated from Tennesse State University with a bachelor degree in electrical engineering and technology. Actually, I working on my masters degree in the same field.

My comments on tutoring Earth Science : Highly qualified k-8

For 20 years I worked for Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools, as a fifth through 7th Grade classroom teacher. I taught all of the academic subjects in various combinations, sometimes all at once to a self-contained class. The State of Tennessee recognized me as "Highly Qualified" in all subjects, from Kindergarten through 8th Grade. I served on the district's math council for 5 years, helped direct the district's science fair one year, and worked extensively in the field of arts-based curriculum development. I also was trained in the IB curriculum, and implemented it for 10 years.
Constructivist, multi-sensory, inquiry-based.

I have loved education and the process of learning since I was a child. Due to family issues, I dropped out at in the 9th grade but due to extensive reading most of my life on many subjects, and being gifted intellectually, thank God, I was enrolled in college at the age of 16. Due to my age, I lacked the discipline needed to succeed then so joined the Army at 18 and finished first in my class in their HS program. I continued going to college in the evenings an weekends until I completed my Master's degree, meanwhile raising 3 children and running a certified home daycare. I am currently a Realtor but am looking to enroll in a Doctoral program in Education. I am a "people" person as they say and get refueled helping others learn and figuring out a way for it to make sense students to overcome their barriers. I am comfortable with all subjects except the higher maths (trigonometry/ge ... read more

I am a recent college graduate who has demonstrated academic excellence in all subject areas. Particularly, I excelled in mathematics and became a math tutor while completing my AS degree. In doing so, I discovered a genuine love for the subject and an enthusiasm for teaching others. I recently obtained a BA in psychology where I learned a great deal about human behavior that will assist me in relating to other students. As I also completed a minor in mathematics, I understand the patience required in learning complex topics, and have empathy towards those having difficulty with subject matter. I feel prepared to encourage and motivate students if they become frustrated. While I consider mathematics my forte, I feel confident assisting students in most subject areas.
Often students claim to "hate" a particular topic, which can arouse a certain amount of anxiety, hindering the ... read more

I believe that teaching should be student-directed. Teachers should pique the curiosity of their students, and act as a resource for the acquisition of knowledge. Whenever possible, education should be hands-on, interactive and should always stimulate -- not bore -- the student.
I started out doing nanny work in college. After graduating in 1998, I moved to Detroit, Michigan to pursue a career in language studies. I became the Language Training Director for a language services company. I supervised a teaching staff of 150 instructors who gave language instruction to businessmen and women who were relocating for business purposes. We gave instruction in language and culture, while providing relocation help to families who were settling in the US.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe in fully explaining the problem to the student or working out the problem fully. I then let the student work out the problem by him/herself and and then teaching back to me what he/she has done to get the problem right. I strongly believe hands on teaching and visual aids best help a students to understand what they are doing. Being patient as a tutor is key and repetition so the student understands is very important.
As a undergraduate Biology major and during the last two years I have tutored other undergrad students in English and Biology using books and also handwritten notes from students. Also we have used available internet resources. While tutoring students I have gained a better understanding of course materials because of my having to reexplain in another way for another person to understand. It is said 100% of material is retained from teaching others.

New research studies in neurogenesis now conflicts with studies that once believed that knowledge was predetermined. I am a living witness that knowledge is not predetermined. Failing is an option and exceling is a choice. My primary goal as an educator is to teach the student how to approach problems in any subject matter by using a systematic approach. Learning is akin to building blocks; meaning that you can not move forward until you have a foundation to start with.

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy finding out a student’s area of difficulty and address it directly. Students have different learning styles, it easy for me teach in a variety of styles so that to make sure my students understands. I do also apply almost everything I teach to real world situations, for example most young students may think that learning about triangles will not benefit his/her career in business. As his/her teacher I will show the student how one can use triangles to determine where to built a manufacturing company equidistant (meaning the distant between each raw material supply place to the manufacturing place is the same) to three raw material supply areas, which are not in the same place.
