Believe in yourself, and you are half-way there!

I have a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a minor in Chemistry. I love being able to help students feel comfortable with the material they are studying. I have tutored numerous times throughout college, and would like to get back into tutoring students because I find it to be rewarding. As a student who went from living in Germany and being taught that there are many ways of getting the right answer, to moving to America where everything is taught in one way, I have learned to incorporate my tutoring skills to the need of each individual student. I try to figure out what works best for every individual and help them focus on their strength and improve their weaknesses.
My teaching style depends on the student. I am comfortable with trying different study methods in order to figure out why my student is having trouble with a particular subject.

More About This Tutor...

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.

Auditory Teaching
I am currently a Junior college undergrad at Queens College in Flushing, NY. My mom is a NYC public school science teacher. My little brother is in high school and I help him with his homework frequently. My grades in high school and middle school were above a B+ always. My current average in college is a B. I am studying Pre-Law and I have an aptitude for Math. I can teach almost all subjects in high school and middle school, though.

A Little Bit About Me...

Working with my own children as well as with adults. I love learning which is why I am still in school trying to complete my degree. What an individual leans cannot be taken from them and there is so much knowledge to gain. I would like to have the opportunity to make a positive impact on someone's life. That in itself if rewarding to me.

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 restoration and hiking trips in the national forest. After this I worked for a program that places tutors in schools that are in need, where i tutored K-5 students in reading, led a ESL class of about 10 students, and worked as a teachers assistant in the class room. I have spent the last several years at a monastery where I have had experience mentoring and working with the public in meditation programs.

More About This Tutor...

I view teaching as successful transference of knowledge. I have a profound respect for teachers that teach for the love of it. After I completed my Bachelors degree, I taught for 2 weeks at a High School in Barbados that catered to students with special education needs. Though it was a short period of time, I enjoyed developing different techniques to engage the unique needs of each child. I prefer interactive methods of teaching as I believe that children learn more when they feel a part of the learning process. The students that I taught appreciated my caring and patient approach. Patience is key when tutoring because pressure only inhibits learning potential. I receive great joy from the expression on a child’s face when they have finally understood a concept. Then and only then do I smile with great pride of having been able to accomplish successful transference of knowledge. ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I moved to California with nothing more than a suitcase and a desire to see new places. While I was there I was fortunate enough to work with a group of formerly incarcerated young women who were affiliated with the Center for Young Women’s Development. I created a writing workshop geared toward teaching these women to use their voices and to use writing as an outlet. When I returned to Connecticut, I enrolled in the Internship program at the University of Bridgeport and I have just completed my second Master’s. During my Internship I spent a lot of time helping students with their assignments in the library and in the classroom.
I strive to facilitate student-centered learning and to be accessible to my students. I love to motivate reluctant learners and share my enthusiasm for written and spoken language. I am calm, patient and kind and never offer constructive criticism without ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My approach is to determine the student's weaknesses, and then formulate analogies to explain the difficult concepts. I study the student's learning style in order to infuse the new material as easily as possible. Additionally, I introduce new ways to understand the material, and then observe the student's reaction.
I graduated Rutgers University majoring in Biology and German, and minoring in Chemistry. I have a strong science background, which I will continue to expand by completing a PhD at Yale starting in the Fall. I have experience tutoring students in math during the last 2 years of high school, and 1 year of calculus tutoring in college. In addition, I tutor my 13 year-old sister in all the subjects of her curriculum.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have four semesters of calculus, numerous chemistry, physics, engineering, computer science, statistics, finance, accounting, marketing, management, and liberal arts courses. I also have a temporary CT teaching certificate for secondary education math.
I believe any student is capable of learning any subject when they are taught in a gentle and patient manner. It is important to help the student gain confidence with the subject and to build his self-esteem. As the student increases his knowledge and problem-solving abilities his confidence and curiosity will also increase. Learning will become a lifetime pursuit.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a double degree in Accounting and Finance and have had the opportunity to put these degrees to use in the workplace. Whether it's financial statement analysis or remediation, I have the hands on experience in accounting and finance that enables me to relate classroom concepts to real world problems. Being able to teach real world applications helps the student understand the reasons behind the rules established by the leading authorities in accounting.
I thoroughly enjoy accounting and would be honored to work with children and young adults in teaching them the skills I have gained throughout the years. I believe in teaching hands on and focusing on children's strengths rather than their weaknesses. I also have the patience and the desire to work with children and teach them the fundamentals of accounting. Their future can be promising if they master the basics. Once the b ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I specialize in working with students who have behavioral and/or learning issues. Much of my experience has been teaching academically at-risk teens and pre-teens as well as emotionally troubled teens. I believe that part of a tutor's role is to build a student's confidence in the subject area and to make the material relevant so a student will be motivated to learn the subject. I will try to incorporate various mediums (e.g. audio and visual) to approach the subject creatively if a student is really struggling.
My undergraduate major was Writing-in-Education so I began working in New York city schools during college as a playwright's assistant and while studying tracking in elementary schools. I then taught literary arts at a Montessori camp for teens and took classes toward Language Arts teaching certification at Southern Connecticut State University. I have taught high ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a well-rounded diversified individual with both corporate and academic environment experiences. I believe that each child is unique and learns in different ways. I value spending time with a child, forming a tutor-student bond, and the learning takes place from there. My teaching style is very interactive and supportive. I am very reliable and attentive. My strong listening skills also play a major role in my success as a tutor.
During the past 6 years, I have extensive experiences as a substitute teacher in the public school systems in both CT and FL. I have taught all subjects within grade levels K-12 including special education . I enjoy all age levels of children. In addition, teachers within the school systems have asked me to do some private tutoring for them for their struggling students. I find it to be very rewarding!

A Little Bit About Me...

After over decade of classroom teaching and preceding experiences teaching as a manager, I have developed a style that would be considered eclectic, at once rooted in the cognitive behavioral and infused with existentialist expectations. The key element is to reach each unique individual, assessing strengths and weaknesses, and facilitate an atmosphere in which students can find personal success while engaging the group dynamic. I spend a great deal of time examining just what it is I am doing as an educator, how I feel about outcomes and how I can adjust curriculum, practices, and in my case, administrative functioning to better serve my charges. Existing educational practices in no small way determine the modes and methods one uses to engage learners in and out of the classroom. However, teaching style and empathetic relationships to a great extent determine how students are engag ... read more
