Hello, all. My name is Stacie. I have over 10 years of experience in Education. I started my career at Sylvan Learning Center. I began as a Program Manager, but also have experience as the Director of Education. My job duties included giving students Diagnostic Assessments, updating each student notebook, tutoring math, reading and writing in the evenings, attending ongoing trainings, contributing to teacher trainings, and meeting with both parents and teachers at schools. From there I was employed as a tutor for University Instructors. For the past six years I worked as a second grade teacher and Resource Specialist at a Charter School. I accomplished all teaching duties, plus worked as a test proctor, computer lab monitor, curriculum developer, and office helper. It has been awhile since I have been a teacher/tutor, but I feel like I would still be a good choice to tutor

Throughout my education, I have come to learn and adapt to many different types of learners. I understand that students many require alternative teaching methods to accommodate to their personal needs and I enjoy the challenge. Personally, I am a visual learner, however I always make my best attempt to address auditory and tactile learners. In doing so, I have seem the motivation in students increase which has been shown in their test scores and overall grades. As a recent graduate from Slippery Rock University, I have earned my BS in both Elementary Education as well as Special Education. I have worked with the university to tutor fellow college classmates and helped potential teacher candidates succeed in mathematics. I have also gained my certification in middle school mathematics. At the completion of my student teaching experience I received exemplary marks not only from my co

My educational background is well-rounded, which prepared me to tutor in a variety of subjects. For example, I demonstrated solid grammar and research/writing skills in order to successfully complete my B.S. in Human Resources Management and supplemented this degree with college coursework in Economics, Accounting, and Business Statistics. In addition, since 1998, my tutoring experience has included a variety of areas: Basic mathematics and reading at the elementary level, High school mathematics and English, GED test preparation classes, College-level Algebra, Resume-writing and interview skills seminars, and Continuing Legal Education classes for lawyers. I love coaching and facilitating the learning process for students of all ages. As a tutor who has worked with elementary school children, teenagers, college students, and adults, I know that each person learns in his or her own

I have a BS in business and can tutor in any business related fields. In addition, my original college major was physics. I can and have taught physics, math, (up to differential equations) and physical sciences. I have also been an ameteur astronomer for 40 years and can teach courses in this dicipline. I am currently employed as an airline pilot and have earned all teaching certificates from the FAA. My approach to teaching is more of a "why" approach. It is more important for students to know why something is or works rather than just how. This approach works well for middle and high school students. It allows students not only to understand the ideas taught but to apply them to other areas as well. I also like to use visual aids as well as conversation. I have found that many of us vary widely in learning styles. Some are visual learners, others are audio learners, and still oth

My experience in teaching is broad and varied. I have taught medical students, other physicians, technologists, as well as teaching at military facilities. In additiom, I have two school age children myself and I believe that I am their primary teacher. This varied teaching experience allows me to tailor my teaching methods to the students and has allowed me to gain a great fund of knowledge. I believe that learning is best achieved in a comfortable, nothreatening enviroment. People learn best when they understand the importance of the material being taught, something I strive to convey to my students. While I can easily teach a didactic lecturing style, I feel that an interactive approach often better meets the needs of the students. Ultimately, education is a reflection of the students success and the teacher is merely a means to that end.

I have earned a bachelor degree in Chemistry and am currently in a PhD program in Pharmaceutical Science. As an undergraduate I had the opportunity to tutor my peers in both science and writing courses. As a general chemistry tutor, I was expected to communicate lecture materials in a new or different way, as well as to assist in problem-solving efforts for students who were struggling. I was also the teaching assistant for a freshman writing course. As a graduate student I have been put in charge of a teaching laboratory. In this current role, I am expected to develop and deliver pre-laboratory presentations, field questions and grade writing and practical assignments. When tutoring a child or young adult, my goal is to conduct the session in a manner that is student-active. This strategy includes posing leading questions so that the student has the chance to discover the answers

My teaching style is to have a set of problems made up for the students to observe as examples to help understand certain chapters. I will assign additional problems if needed and focus on the subject matter that is the hardest for the individual to understand. I have taken statistics and gotten an A in the course and still have all course materials to give a general overview of statistics and how to use SPSS. I am knowledgeable on the software and would be able to answer questions on statistics because of how well I did and how I used to help others who struggled with the class.

My students would describe me as very patient. I listen to my students so that I can understand just what the roadblocks may be to their learning. I strive for each student to gain a full understanding of their course material and will try different approaches as necessary to reach this goal. This is not generally feasible in the traditional classroom setting and is what I consider to be the primary advantage to having a tutor, someone who can address your individual learning style. My goal is for each student to feel successful. Ever since I was quite young I have enjoyed mathematics. I went into the field of engineering to apply this love of mathematics and logical thinking to systems and products useful to our everyday lives, first as a Corrosion Engineer then later with a Master’s degree in the Biomedical field. I now use my love of the subject to encourage students, especially
