Testing Strategies Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Stony Ridge, OH

I have taught Testing strategies at all grade levels. Its important to know how to deal with the different question types on the tests. I also help ACT, SAT and OAA students with test strategies. It is important to me that all children reach their best potential in whatever grade I am teaching. I have been in the teaching profession for 20 years and each day brings something different. Although, I came from a family of medical and science background, I have always wanted to teach and after 20 years, I am glad to say that I chose this profession. My goals are to meet each child at his/her learning level and provide the best education possible. I believe in varying my teaching style to suit each child thier cognitive abilities and grade level as it is my belief that all children can learn.

As a holder of a BS in Chemistry, I have a very strong grasp of science and mathematics, as well as a passion for the written word. I have volunteer experience tutoring my fellow students at Eastwood High School, out of which came two years' of summer tutoring for one of the individuals I helped while volunteering. My methods are amorphous and change to the needs of the student, but typically fall in the range of serious, yet enthusiastic and fun. I feel the need for tutoring is the need to simply obtain information in a form that is different from the one presented in the classroom. As a tutor, I work to break things down into their constituent pieces and explain each of these pieces in turn. This is a more time-intensive method of instruction, of course, as the breaking down of information is totally dependent on the way it must be done for it to make sense to the student. Tutoring all

I love teaching and working with a variety of students. My teaching style is easy going and flexible because I believe each student learns best in their own way. There are no “cookie cutter” students or lesson plans. I feel the most important thing I can give a student is the desire to satisfy their curiosity and thirst for more. I am patient and tolerant of each student’s style. Every student young and old can meet and exceed their potential if treated with respect and exposed to a positive learning atmosphere. My greatest satisfaction comes from watching each student succeed. Over the course of my career, I have taught at every grade level from four year old Head Start students to more than 11 years at a community college. I have a special understanding of non-traditional students and their learning challenges. I have taught English, Literature, Composition, Business Communicat

As an MBA graduate I have consistently sought to continually improve and manage as many aspects of life that are presented to me. While achieving my BA in Philosophy I stretched my focus into the areas of science and mathematics, given my strengths in those areas. My MBA in Management facilitated the integration of my math and science skills into a practical system of approach and practice. My Calculus skills come in handy while everyone else is doing summations, I find integrals much faster. In addition to tutoring a variety of subjects from history and philosophy to statistics and calculus, I have also tutored students in English, Latin, writing, Geology, Chemistry, Geography, Biology, and Anthropology. I thoroughly love teaching as I come from a line of teachers myself. I have demonstrated that learning happens on multiple levels depending on what level one is working on. In my

I am a life-long learner. I believe that everyone learns and take their learning style into consideration when developing lessons. My goal is that students learn the fundamental content of the courses I teach. But beyond that, I hope to foster critical thinking, facilitate the acquisition of life-long learning skills, prepare students to function effectively in an information economy, and develop problem-solving strategies for doing so. SUNY Potsdam instructors provided me the opportunity to learn about and earn a Master's in Education with a focus on Reading and a BS in English Writing and Elementary Education. This journey began with an Associates Degree in Commercial Art from Sullivan County Community College. These areas of study have enabled me to teach in New York and Ohio as: Reading Specialist K-3, H.S. Reading Substitute, Jr. High Reading teacher, college instructor teaching

As a foster parent, I tutored our first child as he progressed through kindergarten and the first grade. His previous school experience was lacking at best, and he had little confidence in his scholastic ability. I was able to pinpoint his natural aptitude--mathematics--and use it to help not only boost his self-esteem regarding academics, but also to tailor my approach to his other subjects as well. Since math is very much tied to logic, using logical constructs to aid him in his critical thinking proved fruitful in showing him how to solve problems regarding tasks such as alphabetization, grammar, and spelling, among others. Each individual has a unique approach to critical thinking, and using that approach is the best way for that person to learn. I make every attempt to identify a person's perspective so as to shape my teaching for that person in the best possible way. Whether s

I have a teaching style that is inquisitive for the learner. The learner has to be analytical and straegic in their learning. As an instructor, I like to ask questions as well as give answers to students (when appropriate). I have graduated with Honors from undergraduate school, from graduate school and presently holds a 3.79 GPA during the obtaining of my PhD. I have plans of having my PhD Degree conferred in the Fall of 2010. I have a passion for teaching and learning. My educational background has provided me with the opportunity to evaluate and assess learners; to understand where the application of time needs to be focused. The dissertation that I am writing on the Theory of Multiple Intelligences has given me the wisdom to understand all learners are intelligent in a specific manner. When a learner knows their greatest intelligence and best learning style, that gives them the ad

I truly care about the success of each student’s ability to learn. My focus is on building the strengths of youth to supplement weaker areas. When tutoring, I use materials directly from their text and assignments, and help students in searching for the right answer. My goal is to teach each youth the tools of self-sufficient learning so that they can independently continue on successfully in their academic careers. I have tutored elementary level public and private school youth in various courses for 10 years. While my education focuses on criminal justice, my employment, training & volunteerism have enabled me to work with youth in a variety of settings. I am aware that educational success is greatly affected by cognitive ability.
