Get caring and encouraging help...be successful!

I have worked with students in international schools living overseas in many countries for 40 years. I can provide knowledgeable and patient help in many subjects and help you to believe in your own capabilities. I have been a counselor for all ages of students and find that often that attitude you bring to your studies determines your success and I can also help you with this.
Open, encouraging, flexible, respond to the needs of the student.

More About This Tutor...

My teaching style is aimed at making the child feel good and happy with learning. Often children need tutoring in subjects that frustrate them, they miss one aspect and while they're spending time on that in class the teacher blazes past them adding more confusion. I take it upon myself to back track to the initial place where the confusion stemmed from and spend the time working through these rough patches. I gear everything as a game or story to create excitement in a subject that would normally earn groans. I want your child to feel proud of what they do know already, and use that happiness to fuel further learning.
I have always had an interest in tutoring, starting in Elementary school where I would leave during recess in the fourth and fifth grade to spend time in my past Kindergarten teacher's classroom. There I would read to students, reinforce the teachings lead by th ... read more

20 years of experience as a certified teacher and tutor

My teaching style is dependent upon a student's learning style. Once I determine how the student learns best, I tailor my teaching style to their needs.
I have taught elementary and middle school in small K-12 schools in Thorne Bay, Alaska and Prospect, Oregon. I gained more experience teaching elementary school in the Grants Pass School District as well as the Three Rivers School District in Grants Pass, Oregon.

I have a bachelor's degree in Liberal Studies with a science concentration and upon finishing my student teaching immediately took a full time job completing the remainder of the school year (March-June 2005) teaching middle school math. In September of 2005 I began teaching middle school science and math as well as elementary school science labs at Santa Barbara Christian School. I taught at SBCS for three years and then worked as a clinician for the Lindamood-Bell Learning Program for the summer of 2008. Since then I have been a private tutor working mostly with students who struggle with reading, spelling and comprehension, but I am open to working with students in math and science as well.
I loved teaching in the classroom setting and will probably go back to that someday, but I have found a real passion and excitement these last two years working one-on-one with students. I en ... read more

I derive a lot of pleasure from communicating with my students and helping them with problem solving in Math and Physics, especially on a one-on-one basis. I am open, patient and interactive. Instead merely providing answers to a problem, I like to ask questions that inspire my students and help them develope a thought process for similar problems in the future. I am also a very easy going person and I believe in building the students confidence by giving constructive feedbacks along the way. A lot of us have encountered problems with Science in high school and college. With my indepth knowledge in Physics and Math and years of experience in teaching, I believe I can make a positive difference to the community.

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy working with children because of their curiosity and forthrightness. Through exploration of the subject matter, I engage their curiosity while respecting their opinions and efforts. I am patient and work to establish a rapport with a child so that s/he is comfortable with me. This allows for a greater focus on the material to be studied. I know that every child can learn and progress, if given the tools to succeed.
I am an Ivy League graduate with a BA in Classics. As an undergraduate, I studied Latin and ancient Greek, as well as classical and medieval history and literature. I have extensive experience in researching, writing and editing due to my own studies as well as reviewing the work of colleagues. I have two years experience teaching small classes and tutoring individuals.

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

More About This Tutor...

I have always enjoyed helping people learn, from dancing and sailing in my youth, to English and French more recently. For two years I was a tutor at a resource center at a city college, where I helped students on a one on one basis with reading and writing skills. I have tutored privately a number of clients in French, and I currently teach a French class at an after care program.
I love helping children learn in a way that's fun and supportive. I strongly engage my students in the process by asking questions and balancing the different learning styles (auditory, written, verbal, physical). I can bring structure and focus to students' learning path in a compassionate and safe environment, and help them gain confidence and be successful.

A Little Bit About Me...

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.

A Little Bit About Me...

My tutoring experience has been very rewarding, because results are evident within a couple of sessions with the students. I am patient, positive, and creative. As a student in Organic Chemistry I have learned that repetition is the best way to know the material. As a teacher for Organic Chemistry I believe that after the initial topic is covered and somewhat understood the student should be given lots of practice problems. At this point, we can work on the weak parts of the understanding of the material based on how the student can handle the problems. Organic Chemistry is my favorite subject ( I still have my Organic Chemistry textbook) and I feel passionately that my enthusiasm will have a positive effect on the student.

A Little Bit About Me...

My goal as a tutor is to awaken in students a genuine love of learning and to provide them with meaningful opportunities to acquire the skills they need to succeed in their chosen paths. Passion for growth, commitment to excellence, enthusiasm for exploring new ideas, and a growing sense of self-mastery: these are the qualities that I seek to cultivate in my students, whatever their age. My approach to tutoring incorporates a sensitivity to the unique goals, interests, and learning preferences that all students bring to the process, so they feel connected to what they are learning and recognize that their studies have enduring value.
