My teaching style is upbeat and positive. If I cannot be excited for my subject areas. Why should any student I tutor?
I have over 10 years of experience in the education field with a special love for tutoring Mathematics. My experience is extensive as I ran my own tutoring business for 3 years doing mostly freelance work in college. The unique thing about my experience is that I have tutored ages 8-28 through my many recipients. I have a knack for getting children and adults excited to learn whether it is through motivation outside the subject area, or showing them that they can in fact do this.

A Little Bit About Me...

Having been devoted to the welfare of children and families and valuing education highly throughout my life, I find tutoring a satisfying occupation. After vounteering my services for many years, I attained formal degrees in education, psychology, and counseling, with very high GPAs. I taught psychology and sociology for several years and have also tutored K-college individually and in groups for many years.
Recognizing that each person has his/her own learning style, I emphasize "application" of material learned. I do this primarily by providing examples of information taught and require my students to do the same. My approach to teaching is to create a friendly environment with positive expectations to enhance the learning experience.

I have been a volunteer for various literacy programs for the past several years, focusing primarily on phonics rather than sight reading. I have worked in two group homes for dually diagnosed adults, meaning both physically and mentally challenged. I went to school online at Ashford University, for 2 years in an accelerated Bachelor's Degree program with a focus on education. With an inborn gift of language art skills and being a tutor for about the past 20 years, I have learned how to relate easily to any age group or functioning level.
I am a creative teacher, meaning that I assess the individual and do not have an agenda that I adhere to. Normally, I am able to advance a child a grade level in reading with three months of tutoring and reinforcing homework, during the summer. However, I will go the extra mile to help a student be able to totally understand what I am trying t ... read more

I have a great deal of passion for teaching. When educating a person of any age, I make it my goal to create an experience that is as intellectually fulfilling for them as it is for me. I encourage questions at all times and push students to not only think about what they are learning but why they are learning it. Whenever we learn we should not only learn new information but we should improve upon the way we learn and the way we look at the world. I always consider it a privilege to work with someone in order to help them obtain such an achievement.
In the course of my education and professional career I have always found myself attracted to positions where I am passing on knowledge and skills to others. During my education at JMU I learned various skills in the area of scientific research, mathematical analysis, and the extensive writing skills that allow one to express their acc ... read more

Working with children requires different methods or styles of teaching. Once working with a child, you'll be able to see what there needs are. You can try different methods and see which one they respond to most accurately.
I have worked with students in grades 9 - 12, taught material from approved curriculum, and developed daily lesson plans. Most importantly I participated in school retention initiatives by providing regular, accurate and timely feedback to students and school concerning academics, behavior and attendance. I can motivate students to actively participate in all aspects of the educational process. I’ve mastered displaying problem solving, cooperative negotiating skills and conflict resolution strategies. I know how to use classroom instructional time appropriately and wisely. I have also completed 50 Practicum hours to include observation of the classroom as well a ... read more

I love working with children. I believe each child has a different way of learning. I believe children can reach their full learning potential when working with the right teaching strategies. I believe in providing a constructivist learning theory. I believe in a hands-on approach as well. A teacher can make a huge difference in a child’s life, which is what I strive to do. I have the patience to work with children. I absolutely love the feeling when a child completes a task and learns from it. I know how to have fun with a child, while at the same time giving the appropriate teaching lessons for the student to learn.
I have earned a Bachelors Degree in Anthropology. I also have a strong background with computers. While attending ASU, I enjoyed every aspect of learning. Throughout college I worked with children in a daycare and as a preschool teacher. Elementary school subjects a ... read more

I enjoying tutoring all subjects, but Spanish is certainly my passion. I develop new lessons for each meeting based on the needs of the client. I am flexible (but not lenient), and I can teach using conventional or non-conventional methods depending on what works for the client. I know that different people learn in different ways. I personally learn through writing - but I know there are auditory, active and visual learners. I am not rigid, and I believe that allows me to be a much better fit for my clients, and helps improve their confidence and leads to a greater likelihood of success. I am extremely positive, and truly believe that anyone can learn. I teach with patience and encouragement.
I have studied Spanish for 15 years and have lived in Costa Rica and Miami where I was required to speak Spanish daily for school and for work. I have had tutored Spanish professionally for s ... read more

I earned my BS in Chemistry with a GPA 3.57. I then took the GRE and ACS entrance exams for graduate school, I passed all four division with 20-60 percentile of the national avg. During my undergraduate education I was a tutor and earned level one training certification. In graduate school I instructed lab courses and tutored in a learning center several days a week. I am well experienced and qualified for tutoring any undergraduate and lower level chemistry courses; I have earned several A's and B's at the graduate level.
I do not know what my teaching style is. I have instructed large groups and had one on one learning sessions as well. I have dominated the communication time and I have been a listener. I have out right provided examples and I have merely provided encouragement for a student to continue their thought process. I believe everyone learns differently and therefore it ... read more

After being a mentor for two years and the leader of different study groups for different age levels, I have learned that everyone learns differently and at a different pace. My display of patience, persistence, and constructive suggestions, make it easy for children and fellow classmates to learn at a level in which they are comfortable. My organized, honest, and straight forward teaching tactics make it easy for children to understand that education is important and I can encourage them to learn.
As a Cum Laude graduate of VCU, I achieved my academic goals with a major in chemistry and a minor in mathematics. Upon earning my BS in Chemistry, I also provide much of my chemical and mathematical expertise to fellow classmates by being the leader of study groups and chemistry and mathematical informational sessions.

I recently completed my first service year with VCU AmeriCorps, tutoring 1st and 2nd grade students at a Title 1 elementary school in an inner city setting. Many of the children had chronic behavior problems, both in the classroom and during our tutoring sessions (2 - 5 students at a time). I went into the program with no teaching/tutoring experience whatsoever--however, I quickly found that I had a special gift for working with children of all skill levels, specifically in reading/writing/spelling (areas in which we were specifically trained). I received very high marks on my evaluations, as well as enthusiastic praise from my supervisors and teachers. My teaching style is simple enough: understand how a particular child learns (visual cues, repeated verbal instruction, etc.) and then be consistent. With consistence, patience, genuine caring, and a sense of humor, I believe any ch ... read more

I firmly believe ALL children can learn, but not everyone learns in the same way. I do my best to make a positive difference in their lives. I'm very patient and always listen to my students. I give my students tips to help them learn something and get them to repeat information back to me as we work so I know they understand. I give immediate feedback while working with my students and, when working one-on-one or in small groups, I will sit down and work side-by-side with them. I work with students I'm tutoring in as comfortable and familiar a place as possible, yet with as few distractions as possible, to promote learning.
I have spent most of my adult life helping children learn. I have worked in childcare facilities, as well as in public and private schools and as a private tutor. I have taught or worked with preschoolers through 5th graders. I've worked with special needs chil ... read more
