I like to keep a student well organized. This allows me to pinpoint exactly where the problems are so I can concentrate the time on the problem areas. Organization also ensure the student keeps up with the material in the class. I am available to help out with questions assigned in homework or classwork, but my objective is not to merely have the student complete an assignment, but rather understand the topic that was covered. I strive to have the student learn the material rather than just fact recall. I try to make the topics interesting to the student by relating the material to their interests.
As I entered college, I quickly was labeled a tutor by my friends. They would find me before exams so I could give them a crash course on what they needed to know before an exam. Little by little, I had a following of friends and acquaintances who were reliant on me to do well in ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

From my School days I was very much interested in Math and also used to score good grades in Math, So most of the students from my class apart from my best friends used to come and get tutoring. Due to the interest in Math Teaching and Computers, I choose Math and Computers as Majors in my BS and MS. I have also done B.Ed degree to get well versed with teaching skills and methods. From my High School onwards, I not only have desire and passion to tutor, but also I have gained much experience especially in one on one tutoring. My students like me and how hard the topic is they understands it very well, because I don't leave them until they get it, as I always try different methods and techniques to make the subject easy to the students.
As you will note, my teaching style is direct and decisive, yet flexible in responding to constantly changing demands. Throughout my career, I have ... read more

My teaching style is a combination of serious, in-depth theory and practical examples to demonstrate such theories, all with a hint of humor, followed by significant practice of the newly learned skills. I've been "teaching" people all of my business career. I always start with the underlying theory and immediately segue into a practical example of how the principles work. I think students want to learn, but need the information presented in a way that makes learning interesting, not boring. I have that ability. I'm able to integrate relevant practical examples because I have a very broad range of experience, having been an entrepreneur and turnaround management consultant for over 40 years.
I taught a computer "cap-stone" class to graduating seniors part-time at the Katherine Gibbs school for 1 semester. There were approximately 14 Seniors in the class and we utilized all ... read more

I have a pretty high energy style of teaching. I like to get students actively involved in asking questions because this can allow them to learn at a much faster rate. I'm very much into teaching the 'larger picture' when it comes to academics. My philosophy is that if a student can get engaged in understanding the theories behind details then the details become easy. I can bring this philosophy to your children and teach them how to become excited about school.
As a graduate of Amherst College, I have been fortunate to have a great education. I majored in Political Science and consider myself a great writer. I also completed all the premedical requirements, and have taken 10 lab science courses in college from Physics to Biology. I would be comfortable teaching Writing and Reading Comprehension up through the college level. I would also excel at teaching science through int ... read more

I have a PhD in Organic Chemistry, a subject that is a major hurdle for pre-medical students. During my time at Tufts University, I have mentored many undergraduate students. Additionally, I won an award for Most Outstanding Teaching Assistant in the Fall of 2000.
I believe organic chemistry can be very simple if you work hard enough at it. I can work with as many as four students at a time, and keep repeating a topic with a student until he or she understands the subject completely.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that one of the challenges in teaching is motivating the students to be interested in learning. I believe that a good teacher who truly wants to instill life-long learning skills in his/her students challenges them by engaging and empowering them to become independent/critical thinkers/problem-solvers rather than making them dependent on him/her or on "route"/"regurgitative" learning. One must find the best approach to present the material and convey the essential elements of a lesson plan or rather “instructional session” in the classroom and the laboratory.
I have experience teaching Chemistry, Biology and Earth Science. I am a native Italian and French speaker, having been born to Franco-Italian parents in Montreal, Quebec, the second largest French speaking city in the world. I have years of teaching experience at the college and high school levels. I am NY State C ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style concentrates on the task I ought to solve. If I teach a group of people, I give a brief exam first. Tutoring individuals allows me to concentrate on one person and develop a winning strategy to motivate and teach the student for the given subject. Repetition, breaking down complex problems to simple ones and enthusiastic explanation is mainly my style. I am always adjusting to the individual who has to learn.
I have been tutoring Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics since an undergraduate student. I also tutored English in Europe for several years and prepared my students for the TOEFL. I have been also teaching economics and finance because in 1995 I took the series 7&63 stockbroker licence and in 2000 I passed the LIFA, licensed international financial analyst exam.

As a recent graduate of a rigorous medical school program, I have been able to succinctly summarize and whittle down an extraordinary amount of information into actionable parts. As a result of my experience, I am able to teach friends, college and medical school colleagues need-to-know knowledge(English,biochemistry,physics, statistics, mathematics) in an time-constrained environment.
I love imparting knowledge and observing a lot of "aha" moments when a person understands the material. I would describe my teaching style as engaging, relaxed but focused on learning the pertinent material. I present to the pupil/student 2-3 different approaches to a problem and have them pick one approach he/she is most comfortable with.

More About This Tutor...

I have had the opportunity to tutor students in various subjects (eg. math, biology, English, science). I have also had the privilege to work with students at the elementary, high school and university levels. My passion for teaching, love for helping others achieve their highest potential and vast experience working with youth have led me to pursue a career in teaching. I graduated from Biomedical Sciences, and shortly after began studying Medicine. I soon realized it wasn't the career for me and I decided to switch paths and follow my heart, and go into teaching. I applied for teacher’s college for September 2011 in Canada and New York. For this reason, I currently have much free time and energy that I wish to direct towards tutoring.
Over the years, I have volunteered in orphanages in Central America, worked as a camp counselor and a soccer coach in Canada, tutored English in il ... read more
