Dad of 2 Gifted Kids, Wanting to Help Others

With over two decades of expertise in engineering, investigations, and safety management, I am an ideal tutor for students grappling with elementary-level English, math, and science.

Whether it's decoding tricky grammar rules, solving challenging math problems, or unraveling scientific theories, i have proficiency and clarity to be a trusted guide for any student seeking academic mastery.
Relaxed and patient, but will call out a student that clearly needs it.

Helping students learn and learn how to grow

My teaching experience is broad across subjects and age levels. Learning and teaching excite me and I like to think that attitude rubs off on my students. It can be fun to learn, and even those subjects a student does not find enjoyable, can prove satisfying. I've taught middle school and high school, as well as at Bellevue College, Renton technical College, and North Seattle Community College. My own experiences include not just teaching, but also professional broadcasting, journalism (both broadcast and print newswriting, creative writing, editing, and reporting), writing a book, supervising employees as well as students, and poetry awards.
I like students to be comfortable, enjoy their experiences with me as much as possible, and learn not only the material they need to study, but also habits and practices that will help them with future studies.

I have found that tutoring sessions are most effective when they are fun! Many students find it difficult to stay focused, especially after a full school day. For this reason, I prefer to change tasks frequently and use a variety of fun games to switch up the pace of the session. Learning can be frustrating for many students when a particular subject does not come as naturally or easily as other subjects. Thus, I do my best to incorporate student's interests into reward systems and constantly give the student positive feedback about their progress to help motivate the student. I work hard to get to know the student and tailor tasks and activities to their particular learning style.
I write with great enthusiasm to apply for the position of Tutor. I recently graduated from Gettysburg College Magna Cum Laude earning my Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology and Neuroscience. I ha ... read more

More About This Tutor...

While an undergraduate student at a top university, I pushed myself academically. I also focused on trying to help people by teaching resume writing and job interviewing workshops at my university’s Career Development office. Helping fellow students further their careers was very satisfying and inspiring. Upon graduation, I counseled, trained, and equipped American and foreign college-level and graduate students for a non-profit. Later, in graduate school, I worked in Student Affairs, holding workshops, hosting social events, resourcing students and managing print projects. I was also a TA in my two MA programs; I led tutorials, graded coursework, lectured, and conducted research. Teaching others continues to be my life’s passion.
I enjoy taking what I know about a subject, weighing what my student's learning style is and then tailoring a lesson so that student best understan ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a psychology major I was fascinated with how the mind works in all arenas. I learned the various methodologies used in teaching people and found in my tutoring that finding a way to present even the most difficult material in a manner to make it understandable is greatly satisfying. Through tutoring and teaching others I gained a higher comprehension of the material at hand and learned more about both myself and people in general. I firmly believe that there's no such thing as an idea or topic that can not be taught to someone who wants to learn regardless of academic leveling.
For as long as I can remember I have loved to learn. Through college I tutored in psychology, english, the arts, statistical math, and certain classifications of sciences. My favorites were psychology and english because of the freedom you can give due to interpretaional material.

Over the last 15 years, I have worked in various different areas. First, I taught adult ESL, and had occasional tutoring gigs with Russian speakers learning English, and some English speakers learning Russian. Currently, I work as a special education teacher. Part of my job is to work in small ratios with honors students who have disabilities. This "study skills" class often requires one-on-one tutoring.
As it has evolved over the years, my teaching style has become a mix of facilitation and direct instruction, with the goal always being the student's making his own discovery. I was trained in the Socratic style, which seems to match well with inquiry-based learning, and that is how my classes usually end up. I introduce activities, then gradually release them to the students to lead.

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy working with students one-on-one or in small groups so I can truly help them with their skills. To me, a key component of education is giving young people the skills they'll need for success after high school. This includes an ability to read and communicate through writing. My experience as a social studies teacher will also help people think critically and go beyond just what they see on paper. I realize that some students are frustrated with school, but through hard work and committed adults, they can achieve academic success and become life-long learners.
I taught Social Studies for three years at Mt. Rainier High School in Des Moines, WA. We developed a small learning community for 9th grade students. The average reading level in the academy was below sixth grade. The past five years I have been teaching Freshman English and Social Study classes at Coupeville Mi ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I love to introduce students to new ways of thinking about language, literature, culture, and history; there's nothing better than "seeing the light go on". My aim is to help students discover their own unique style and set of skills, and enable them to develop the tools they'll need to write in academic and professional settings. These values include succinctness, readability, and expressiveness. I believe that a methodical and organized approach to writing at each level—sentence, paragraph, and essay—provides the structure and discipline needed for true freedom of expression, and I encourage students in the basics like spelling, punctuation, grammar, and outlining, while emphasizing imagination and creativity of thought.

More About This Tutor...

I believe strongly in the importance of traditional subjects such as grammar and composition, reading for comprehension and appreciation, and knowledge of our cultural heritage. I tailor my tutoring to the student's personal experiences and background, in order that he/she has a real connection to the material. I strive to explain fully the practical purpose of any subject we are covering, as well as how study of a given subject can, does, and will enrich the student's life, now and in the years to come. I take time to explain how each bit of new knowledge is a building block, and you must begin with a firm foundation before you can climb high in a subject area and feel the thrill at the pinnacle of your study. I like to incorporate a sense of humor as well as "reality checks" in my communication with pupils; i.e., sometimes we have to reach inside ourselves to find a reason to compl ... read more
