I'm a very bright high school senior with a rigorous AP schedule at New Britain High. I don't have any tutoring experience but I've worked for two years at a christian summer camp, so I have a lot of experience with children of all ages. I've always had a talent for explaining material and making it fun, and I'm interested of pursuing a career in post secondary education.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have worked in the educational field for 25 plus years now. My first experience in the profession was in the mid-80's as a private tutor for junior high and high school students. I was also hired by my town and a neighboring town to provide homebound instruction. Subject areas I was responsible for included social sciences, American and world history, mathematics and English. Upon completion of my certification requirements I was employed at a small private school. The school specialized in assisting students with learning and developmental disabilities. During the evenings I worked in the adult education program of a local town. Subject areas I taught were civics, English as a second language and external diploma program. My school also sent me to receive training and be the representative in the "Newspapers in Education" program. I am currently employed as an adult education represen ... read more

Having an excellent and extensive educational track record, I feel I am well positioned to assist current students achieve their goals. I have a JD from NYU School of Law, which helped me master such skills as reading comprehension, analytical thinking and persuasive writing.

I have tutored chemistry students and served as a teaching assistant at both Yale and William and Mary, as well as having privately tutored students in high school math and science.

As a high school student, I was involved in inner city teaching and I helped hartford students in their studies after their school.

Upon graduating with my bachelors degree in criminal justice, I earned a significant amount of education and experience needed to write research and literature papers. I am currently finishing my masters degree while completing my thesis. I have an extensive understanding of literature works and reading. Additionally, I have teaching experience as an adjunct professor for college seniors.
Education is fundamental for our youth as they are the foundation of the future. Teaching is a passion for me because it is adventurous. I believe that every lesson must be creative and interesting. Fact of the matter is that learning can be difficult from and therefore approaching tutoring from a hands-on perspective may be more productive for the student as well as the instructor.

My love for reading and writing from a young age followed me through high school and college. By excelling in various courses, I had the opportunity to tutor a myriad of subjects in high school (particularly Science and Writing), and serve as a Writing Consultant at Bryant University since Freshman year. Outside of school, I have also assisted my friends and peers who have asked for my help in their individual writing assignments or projects. Having a diverse background in fields such as Finance, Accounting, and Cultural courses, as well as in languages such as Gujarati and Hindi, has given me the opportunity to share my knowledge and skills with others.
I have always felt the need and want to help others, whether educationally or socially. As an immigrant who had to learn a new educational system, language, and lifestyle, I know first-hand how difficult a true and successful lear ... read more

My MAT is almost complete, and focuses on Secondary English Education. During the past two years, I have been working as an intern and teacher on both the middle and high school levels. Before teaching, I completed by BA in Political Science and English and continued on to work for a large political consulting firm in Washington D.C.

My experiences have taught me that a cookie-cutter teaching style is not suitable for every individual. My responsibility is to quickly identify the students weaknesses and turn them into their STRENGTH! I am a every interactive teacher. It is my strong belief that anyone can succeed with the proper motivation, reinforcement and tools. My tutoring style emphasizes the student as an active participant in the learning process. With an approach that is clear, reliable, friendly, and personal, I look forward to helping a student succeed in their academic career. I do not have one specific teaching style, but rather have several styles that I implement based on each students specific needs.
I understand that finding the right tutor can be confusing and time consuming. My specialty is to offer a customized experience to each student. I recently graduated 'Summa Cum Laude' fro ... read more

I am a recent graduate of Eastern Connecticut State University with a BA in History and Social Sciences and a total GPA of 3.57. This plan of study exposed me to a wide variety of courses aside from history including psychology, English, computer skills, and sociology. Additionally, I have worked for more than 2.5 years as a teacher's aide. I began at LEARN and I currently work for Waterford Public Schools. My most recent position was in the high school; however, this next school year I will be located at Clark Lane Middle School.
I believe that children have different learning styles but they all benefit from positive encouragement from their teachers. I am patient and easy going and I enjoy helping a student reach their fullest potential. It is rewarding for both myself and the child and I feel such positive interactions can make a difference in their learning experience.

A Little Bit About Me...

I briefed visitors to NASA facilities. I worked briefly as a substitute teacher in California after passing the CBEST test. I have no formal training in teaching. My three children are all college graduates and good writers and well read. I taught them good reading and writing habits. The key to these skills is writing daily,reading daily, reciting aloud from texts by established authors, and being required regularly to summarize in clearly written English what one has read. Everyone can be taught to write simply and clearly.

A Little Bit About Me...

Being a mother of three adult children and a new grandmother, I adore children. Teaching Sunday School over many years has also brought me great joy. I also personally relate to a child's individual method of learning because I truly believe we all learn differently. There are no stupid or dumb children, only unique minds. Being patient, kind, and encouraging are only a few of my strengths, and I believe I can help any child reach their potential, even when they do not.
I have two adult children who have had learning disabilities while growing up, and fully understand a parent's frustration in encouraging their child over these particular hurdles. I have a BS in Business Administration and achieved my degree over the period of nine years while working and raising my family. In addition, I have volunteered as a Sunday School teacher over a thirty year period, teaching ages 2-12 ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is relaxed, non-forceful and always understanding. I am a kindhearted person in general so when I relate to anyone else I always use the utmost respectful language and tone in my voice to show that I am understanding them and wanting to help. I know that learning is a dynamic process for everyone and most people learn in unique ways. I always try to conduct my tutoring/teaching sessions in a way that takes into account my students personal needs and abilities.
Education in my life has been my number one motivating factor for success. Throughout my educational career I have always been organized and a group leader when it came to helping my fellow students with projects/homework/studying, etc. For many years I tutored individuals in English, Math, Social Studies/History, German, Psychology and Arts. My experiences have all been validating. Sometimes schools are lim ... read more
