Hands-on, smiles-on!

I am very laid back and flexible. While I might be calm I only have 3 rules, 1. Be respectful, 2. the words "I can't" are not allowed :), and 3. have fun! I tend to create games based on the skills that are being taught and I'm not into lecturing, my approach is very hands. Learning can be fun!
Hey! My names Bethy! I'm 13 years old and in 8th grade. I've been tutoring since I was in 5th grade. I can tutor all ages in almost any subject. Last year I had the highest GPA in my whole school! I love teaching anyone who is willing to learn! I also teach children with learning disabilities and special needs.

A Little Bit About Me...

In tutoring any of the traditional subjects (Latin, Greek, formal/informal logic, rhetoric, critical thinking), I emphasize the objectives common to them all: (1) acquisition of context-specific vocabulary, (2) a feel for the flexibility and polysemy of a given word's lexical-semantic meaning, (3) a comprehension of the text's thematic, stylistic, and evaluative undertones and progression. The three, taken together, require us to formulate arguments by sifting through material, with an eye to analysis on how texts are crafted for presentation in terms of form and content. The result is an understanding on how these three are essential for reading, arguing, and, ultimately, thinking critically. Subjects Tutored: Besides the aforementioned subjects, I also tutor for calculus and chemistry.

I was an Aide in the resource center at Pollard Middle School in Massachusetts and interned as a floating substitute at Elias Howe School in Bridgeport. I student taught fourth grade at Stratford Academy. I was also an Aide for grades 5 and 6 and Christian Heritage School in Trumbull and taught grade six at CHS last year. I am currently a Title 1 Tutor at Franklin Elementary School in Stratford.
I love the challenge and creativity that comes with teaching. To see kids have "lightbulb" moments is very rewarding and exciting to me. I am energetic, efficient and compassionate. I am firm yet loving and feel strongly that students will rise to the challenge when given the proper support and encouragement. I enjoy an atmosphere where everyone is involved in the discussion and learning process. I have high expectations and can recognize students strengths and weakness. I like to ... read more

I am patient and approachable but insist on the value of completing assignments even if the student "hates" them. I am good at explaining how this will be important later, which turns around reluctant learners. I believe in explaining, showing, modelling, and then stepping back while the student tries, explains, and determines where the mistakes come up. I value resiliance, and bask in the joy of competence achieved through effort.
I went from the Boston Public Schools to Commonwealth School and then Wellesley College, and would have been lost, early on, without help from tutors. I majored in English and Russian and work with several communities for whom English is not their first language. I am also a freelance writer and editor and I help my children's friends with their college essays. I work as a substitute teacher with all levels and grades and teach everything but Science and ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am especially well versed at helping students that have great difficulty in learning subjects such as math. I have developed new teaching methods that are extremely effective. I have been able to help many disaffected students who had given up on themselves and who other teachers viewed s hopeless cases. I find it very gratifying to rekindle a student's passion for education and a love of learning. I have been highly successful in this regard.
As a former HS Math teacher in NYC I have great experience working with students that many other teachers regard as "difficult". As a product of NYC public schools I was well suited to work with such students and had great success in helping them achieve their academic goals and make better choices in their lives. I often encounter students who thank me for the help and orientation I provided at a time when it would have been all too ... read more

I would say that all people are capable of learning and improving their abilities, knowledge, and skill. My experience has been that if a child, youth, or adult is given the space in which to learn, and introduced to material in a patient manner, in the style that works for them (be that through explanation or visual learning, etc) they will take the initiative to learn and grow at the pace and direction which works for them. People are naturally inclined to learn and grow, and my experience is that when given the opportunity and supportive role of a teacher, they will become interested in learning and continue to do so.
After graduating from college with a BA, I began working for an environmental restoration and public education program. We led large volunteer groups sometime of more than 100 people, in local park and forest restoration event, and also led youth groups on 10 day r ... read more

I have always had a strong interest in Education. From my High School teenage years, I tutored Elementary and High School students in the summer that attended my church in my home country Barbados. I went on to pursue my Bachelors degree in Psychology, in which I earned Second Class Honors, so that I could have a deeper understanding of how individuals develop mentally. This advanced understanding of the distinct developmental stages allows me to better adapt my lesson plans to each unique individual that I tutor. While pursuing my masters degree in Industrial Psychology at Iona College, I home tutored 2 very different 5th Grade Elementary School girls from diverse backgrounds. I also worked as the Graduate Assistant of the Education Department at the College and gained invaluable knowledge from co-workers who are experienced teachers, lecturers and Superintendents from all over the ... read more

The most important characteristic in helping a child learn is to not only demonstrate a profound knowledge of material, but channel one's charisma into helping motivate the learner. Making it interesting, teaching in several different planes, and understanding how the student learns, are several core components of my teaching strategies. Also nearly unlimited patience should be stressed. I am a firm believer in Gardner's Multiple Intelligence Theory and that presentation of material suited to the strengths of the learner will succeed.
As a graduate of an intense Honors Program with proficiency in multiple subjects, I have lent a helping hand towards other students as well as those who are younger than myself. From high school on, I served my community as a mentor, and tutor available during my senior year as a PAL (Peer Academic Leader). During college I accumulated ma ... read more

Having raised 3 children with different learning styles, I feel I can help students in many different ways. Whether they learn through sight or more adapt to tactile learning, I have several years exposure in all areas. The use of different math manipulatives is essential in the learning process. Once you know how a child learns, anything is possible. Patience and understanding are 2 qualities that I have acquired working with students and raising my children.
After having volunteered for several years at different schools in town, I am extremely interested in getting back into the education field. Prior to raising a family I worked in the Norwalk Public School System as an instructional aide. I have several years exposure of working with students at all age levels and have also worked with special needs students. My background in Economics is beneficial for tutoring Math whi ... read more
