My teaching style consists of consistency, understanding, consideration, connection and positive acknowledgement. All children need consistency to help with academic success. This means a certain time, environment, etc. in which they study or learn. Understanding refers to the fact that not all children study or learn the same so this is pertinent in order to learn and accomodate each child you help. Consideration is being open to different situations and learning blocks each child may have; be considerate to each child's needs. Connection refers to the fact that children and their parents must be able to trust you and know that you will help their children to the best of your ability and unleash their true potential. Positive acknowledgement refers to the postive "praise" or reinforcement of achievements. This drives children to want to do better and instills self-confidence and ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Prior to becoming a tutor, I was a life coach for seven years. While I have worked with a variety of clients and have helped them achieve many different goals, my specialty has been helping people with chronic illnesses and emotional challenges such as depression and bipolar disorder heal their spirits so they can find peace and joy. While I'm not a published author yet, I am writing a book to help people who face the same challenges my clients face. Prior to becoming a life coach, I was a software engineer and manager in Silicon Valley for 27 years.
When learning is a positive, enjoyable, and rewarding experience for children, they learn material much more easily and they retain it much longer than they do when it's not. I make learning a rewarding experience for my students by genuinely acknowledging their effort and their progress; I make it enjoyable by often adding humor to m ... read more

I enjoy teaching and working with children and feel that it is important to understand that not all students learn the same way. I feel that my college experience has taught me to discover the ways I learn and understand things. In that sense I feel that all students have the potential to succeed if they acknowledge and become aware of their appropriate manner of learning. I think that being patient, compassionate and understanding is a must, which I feel I can bring fourth as a tutor and mentor. Doing community service in high school to my college years I have always enjoyed working and helping others because of the rewarding feeling that you can make a difference in someone's life.
As a graduate of Sociology I have gained a lot of knowledge about how society functions. I was interested in this area of study to understand peoples because I have always had compassion for others. ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My training in rhetoric, speech, and debate has taught me the importance of speaking clearly and articulately. This means that I pay close attention to language and I try to bring out that quality in my students. Other methods that I use come from my time as a foreign language teacher. Here, repetition and practice of introduced concepts are key. It's not enough to simply pass on ideas and words, the student must engage with the material for it to become real. Even though I might teach to high standards I am a very easy going person!
Having graduated with honors from a top university, the greatest asset I offer comes from my real world teaching experience. During my tenure as a substitute I have taught at all levels, from kindergarten to middle-aged adults, in all subject areas. Even as a young person I was involved with teaching others; I first began as a teacher's aid in high ... read more

As a University of South Florida college of education graduate I have a wealth of experience with teaching both in the classroom and on a one to one basis. I have successfully tutored students in english, reading comprehension, science and social sciences. During my internship I taught all manner of history classes including AP world history and Psychology. In addition I have tutored for 5 years at all age and skill levels.
My teaching style is to show students how to make themselves successful. By motivating my students to do their best every time I can help them exceed expectations and thrive under any situation both academically and socially. Many students focus on what they think they cannot do. What I teach them is to highlight their strengths and improve their weaknesses. I do so with the use of clear directions, constant monitoring, and positive praise. I believe every child ... read more

I enjoy working with older children especially those in high school. I strongly believe that all students can suceed in the classroom as long as they have a good understanding of the materials being taught. And I make it my mission to make sure my students gain this understanding and will use any measure or teaching tool to ensure this. I am extremely patient and understanding with students and my ultimate goal is to see them suceed.
As a recent college graduate, I have a dedicated work ethic and a high performance level in the classroom which will translate onto the students I work with.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe in an interactive approach. That is, I want my students actively involved, engaged, and participating. When a student is puzzled, I prefer to provide clues rather than just give him/her the answer. I strive to be patient and respectful at all times, but I will push my pupils in an effort to get them to exert maximum effort.
I decided to pursue a teaching credential at an advanced stage in my career because I wanted to do something I really enjoyed. I had been a technical instructor for fifteen years and loved it. I have always been good in math, and a university counselor told me this was a high need area. Hence, I enrolled in a credential program. Because I have passed the requisite Csets in foundation level math, I am qualified to teach algebra and geometry at the middle or high school level. I have also tutored students ranging from third grade to high school g ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My goal as a teacher is to ensure that my students hone in on their individual skills and talents. In doing this, I create an atmosphere that is most conducive to learning. This is done through proper assessment and by challenging students at different levels with supplemental assignments and texts. Likewise, I typically design my classroom so that anyone walking into my room would have an enjoyable learning experience simply by viewing the walls. Sometimes, I have been called unconventional, but I think that within a changing society, it is very important to be able to teach "outside the box."
As I graduated number seven in my class, I was always a go-getter and an overachiever, especially within my field of study. Over the past 15 years, I have managed to earn a BA in Speech, an MA in Communications and over 10 years collective teaching experience at the high school, undergradua ... read more
