After learning various teaching and learning styles at Indiana State University, I feel it is important to find each child’s unique learning style. After this is accomplished, I then apply the teaching styles that the student will learn best from. I enjoy using visuals and hands-on activities when working with a student. I am a kid at heart and I feel this is why I connect with children so easily. I feel this is equally important when working with children. I have worked with children through a number of ways. I assist children in 4-H during the fair. I help the children in the horse and pony club by educating them on proper grooming and showing techniques. I also have volunteered my time to help with middle school cheerleading. I assist the girls before tryouts and educated them on proper cheerleading techniques.
I have had a very large variety of teaching experienc ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Over the course of my professional career, I have spent 22 of my 25 years as a 4th grade teacher. This was a goal of time since childhood, having been inspired by my own 4th grade teacher. I still love this age and remain inspired by my own students. I have, over the years, received training through my full time employer to keep me up to date of the ever changing techniques that education introduces. In addition to teaching 4th grade, I spent two years in the Chapter 1 (now Title 1) program. During that assignment I tutored students in grades 1-3 in reading and math skills.
After all these years, I still love teaching children! Every child has the potential to learn. However, it is the duty of the teacher to discover the child's maximum potential. I am consistent, fair, and firm. While I am firm, I do still believe that children have a greater chance of succeeding if they ... read more

I have two years of tutoring experience in college chemistry with the University Learning Center at Penn State. I tutored over twenty students in college chemistry. I am currently tutoring and mentoring a student in High School algerbra and chemistry for free.
I believe in problem-based tutoring for algebra, and construct problems based on the textbook problems whenever possible. I let the student try the problem first, watching closely for any mistakes, and then teach the rules as necessary, and summarize mistakes after each set of problems. However, I can also teach all the rules beforehand if a student has been absent from class. For chemistry, I reviewed class notes with students and then explained the fundamentals whenever there was a question, and then did practice problems with the students.

More About This Tutor...

I began college as an engineering major, so I have background in advanced mathematics and physics. I went on to change my major to psychology where I gained knowlege of social and behavioral sciences, as well as research technologies and statistical analysis. Since graduating college with a B.A. in psychology, I have worked as a psychology researcher, accounting assistant, and in 3 different roles for an international pharmaceutical company. Through my job experience, I have gained knowledge in different business disciplines and areas such as Lean/Six Sigma and Supply Chain/Logistics planning.
I love teaching all ages and skill levels. I adjust my teaching style to the individual - some people are visual learners or oral learners or hands-on learners. I teach by example and try to encourage my students to understand "why" rather than just "how."

A Little Bit About Me...

Science has always been very fascinating to me and I love to share what I have learned in the sciences. I think that it is important that all students have a good grasp of biology, chemistry and math to ensure a good understanding of how the earth works. I believe it is important to be patient with children. I want to make learning fun and interesting to my students by giving them examples they can relate to their real life.
I graduated in May, 2010 from Indiana University with a BS in Biology and a minors in Environmental Management and African American Diaspora Studies. Through my biology curriculum I took many math, chemistry, biology and physics classes. I have excelled especially in chemistry, biology, and algebra and I have experience tutoring in high school level chemistry and math. Also, through my liberal arts degree I gained significant experience writing papers and editi ... read more

I have worked with youth all my life. I managed youth services at a library and was responsible for all programming and special events for youth of all ages as well as programs for struggling, beginning readers and homework assistance in the afternoons. I worked with many schools providing literacy-based activities in their classrooms. As part of my master's course work in elementary education, I studied child development, mathematics, social studies, science and language arts instruction. With a bachelor's degree in English, my high school and college age tutoring has often focused on literature, writing and composition.
I have a real passion for working with youth and their families and believe that it is a calling that can change lives. I enjoy working in collaboration with students. As a teacher, I see the student/teacher relationship as a partnership bound by communication and ... read more

I believe that learning is the goal of life. While there are successes and failures there is always learning. Teaching is a priveldged position which requires integrity, honesty, humility. Teachers are duty bound to their students. Teaching is more that just imparting subject matter knowledge, it is about advancing a students critical thinking and ideally advancing their sense and belief in themsleves. All students can learn and it is up to the teacher to find the right method and style to make the greatest impact. I have been blessed with several great teachers in my life. I am now at a point where I want to become one of them for the next generation.
I have spent the last 20 years as a business executive and consultant. I have worked for blue chips and start-ups in the US, UK, India, Europe and China. I have experience across all business functions and levels. I have extensive ex ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that all students are worth my time, my ears, my voice, and my compassion. I believe that all students cc an learn, all students want to learn, all students can have fun with learning, and all students have something to teach me. I believe that children should be looked at as individuals with different interests, learning styles, and needs. I believe children learn best with a connection to prior knowledge. I believe that children learn from prior experience and hands on opportunities.
As a 2010 graduate of IUPUI, my student teaching experience has allowed me to work with a diverse group of individuals. For my first student teaching experience, I was immersed in an English as a second language setting. At my second student teaching experience, I was involved in an inquiry based, hands-on leaning curriculum that differentiated instruction to meet the needs of every c ... read more

First of all, I love to teach. I believe that a good tutor must treat each student as a unique individual. While hands on manipulatives may be very helpful to one student, another may flourish under the power of logic. Understanding how a student makes sense of a topic can be crucial in deciding which strategy or technique may be the best. I value the importance of the emotional and physical well being of the student.If a student is anxious or hungry, these conditions will need to be dealt with for a session to succeed. I am a friendly person with a great faith in the abilities of young people, lots of patience, a sense of humor and a relaxed demeanor.I believe in accentuating the positive to help build confidence.
I have had about 30 yrs teaching experience in middle school, elementary school and pre-school settings. I have regularly tutored before and after school both indi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I feel that each child is different and based off of their temperment and ability I individualize my approach. I feel that children learn best when they are respected and acknowledged. I consider many different approaches once I meet and begin working with a student.
After earning my BS in Elementary Education from Indiana University I took a teaching position with INSCCAP in 2008. My primary responsibility is to assess development and individualized education needs of the children in my class. I continually annecdote my students abilities and based off of those observations I create activities and lessons that focus on the subjects/ skills I see my students struggle with. In 2009 I became a homebound instructor with Monroe County's School System. I am responsible for working with children who hold IEPs and can no longer work successfully in a regular classroom. I have worked with ... read more

I earned a bachelors degree in Elementary Education with special attention to reading from Purdue University. In Aug. 2008-May 2009 I taught kindergarten at West Grove Elementary in Center Grove Community School Corporation. During this time I filled in for two teachers on extended leaves. This experience allowed me to gain knowledge about teaching and how to instruct diverse students. I learned many different teaching strategies, including differentiation and integration with multiple subjects. I learned many ways to help students with phonics, reading, writing and math skills at the kindergarten level. Towards the end of the school year when the kindergarten teachers returned I subbed throughout the district in all grade levels, K-6.
Teaching children is a passion of mine. All children are different, therefore they learn in many ways. I believe it is essential to include various ... read more

I believe that students need guidance and structure in order to reach their highest potential. In the classroom, instruction can only be differentiated so much. Individual tutoring would allow me the chance to really meet a student at their level and understand their learning style.
I am currently in my first year teaching in Indianapolis. I am a licensed Biology teacher although I have a strong math and science background. I would love to have an opportunity to work with students on a one-on-one basis.

All of these positions have helps me with my communication skills, both written and verbal. I have taught students in English, math, reading, creative art, music and science.
I enjoy working with students of all ages. Currently I teach Pre-Kindergarten, but have expensive experience working with middle school and high school students. I am very patient and understanding. I love to make learning fun and practical. The best moment in teaching is when a student has an "ah ha” moment where everything just clicks. I strive to make that difference in a student's life.

As a parent of two children in special education, I understand that children learn in different ways. I am very patient with children and understand firsthand how learning can be a challenge. I believe that all children can learn, but not every child learns in a non-traditional way. I believe that assessing students continually is the key to knowing what a child needs to in order to master subject material. By exploring all mediums available, learning can be achieved and increased confidence and self-esteem will follow.
As a Student in the Exceptional Learners program at Indiana Wesleyan University, I am well prepared to assist students with their studies. I have a bachelor degree in Accounting and feel very confident in my ability to assist students with improving their math skills.
