More About This Tutor...

I enjoy teaching children and helping them accomplish their goals. I believe that learning should be fun. I try to motivate each child by focusing on their strengths. I encourage each child to try their best. I believe that each child has the potential to do well in school and I feel that it is my job to help them succeed. I have helped several of my students improve their math and reading grades, dramatically! One of my students was failing math and he received a B on his last report card! The other student went from a fourth grade reading level to a seventh grade reading level in less than three months. I enjoy seeing the smiles on the children's faces when they get a good report card and it makes my job worthwhile.
I have taught kindergarten for several years. I have taught beginning readers in kindergarten, as well as reading comprehension to older students.I have homeschoole ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have taught elementary school in private and public settings, in both New York City and Florida. I taught high school English and Global Studies in New York city. I have worked as a tutor in general subjects for elementary students, as well as for Reading, Language, and Biology for high school anc dollege students. I have also helped prepare adult students for the TABE, GED, and similar tests.
I prefer to teach in a hands on fashion, but the most important aspect of my style is to adjust my methods to meet the needs of the student. I incorporate study and test taking skills into most tutoring sessions and specialize in tips and tricks for areas of difficulty.

More About This Tutor...

I am fascinated with the concept that the more senses you utilize in teaching the better the child learns and retains what was taught. Some children respond to verbal teaching, while others prefer visual teaching, or others like to interact with their environment (the hands on approach). Each child has their own language. I believe that a teacher must do whatever is necessary to reach the student so that he can learn. Learning should be fun and enjoyable! I love seeing a child understand a new concept; it is like learning all over again. Today, few students and for that matter parents enjoy mathematics. Mathematics would best be taught by those who love it so they can pass their love of the subject onto their students.
Although I have a well-rounded education, most of my knowledge and work experience is in mathematics (algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus plus the r ... read more

I love working with the youth and have done so for the last eleven years. While working with at-risk youth I've always had the belief that every child has the ability to learn, just in different ways. I believe in the three learning styles; Visual (sight), Auditory (hearing), and Kinesthetic (moving.) Once you can pin-point a child's learning style, the sky is the limit to what they can achieve. I've always done my best to help any child reach their full potential in academics and life.
As a graduate of Florida A&M University I have always had a high regard for education. In earning a Bachelor's degree in Social Work I have gained a deeper understanding of the needs of people. In addition, I have been able to enhance my grammatical and reading skills with each research paper I've written.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style has always been to treat each child the way I would want my own children to be treated. I teach with respect, honesty, humor and patience. I have the experience and ability to quickly assess where a student is in their learning and where they need to be. I like to “show” and “do” whenever possible so students can “see” and “experience” how the world works and how the learning relates to their previous knowledge. I believe all children can be successful when they are challenged in a caring relationship. One of my favorite sayings is, “They don’t care what you know until they know you care.” My goal is to build that caring relationship with my students and help them be successful.
I have been teaching for over 20 years, both in the traditional classroom and online. My Bachelor’s Degree is in Physics and Math, and my Master’s Degree is in Physics Education. ... read more

I teach according to each student's learning style. I pay special attention to verbal and physical queues to understand if and how I need to change my style. I have learned that not all students can learn in the same manner and need specialized teaching in order to achieve the greatest success.
As a high school student, I tutored elementary and middle school students in their homes. In college, I tutored elementary age migrant children after school in english, math, and with homework studies. I also have three years experience in a public school system as a substitute teaching all grades in all subjects ranging from math and english to agriculture and special education.

It truly does take a village to raise a child as the saying goes. I have been able to make many positive differences in many childrens lives by tutoring, volulnteering and working with them. I am able to teach in a variety of ways, which as most people know, everyone learns differently. Some people are visual learners, meaning they learn better through the written word. While others are auditory (listening) or kinesthetic (learn by doing). I believe that I can provide the best education possible by teaching in a variety of ways while making it fun.

I enjoy helping students to get involved in their studies by using hands on manipulatives, games, and real life situations. I believe the role of the teacher is to be a facilitator for her students. She needs to support, promote, recruit, encourage, model, and explain. My goals are to create an environment conducive to learning, make learning fun, and help to build self-confidence and self-esteem in my students. Each student's progress needs to be continually assessed to further guide the student while challenging and motivating him/her to succeed. I know that given the time and the assistance needed, anyone can learn. The time invested in our children is such a wise investment because our children of today are tomorrow's future.

I like to use fun and innovative strategies to intrinsically motivate my students. Children learn in many different ways. One of the benefits of the tutoring process is that I can find the strategy that works best for each student. I want to help your children be successful students and instill a confidence and love of learning that will serve them for the rest of their lives. I treat each student with patience, respect and kindness. I believe specific praise will help students accomplish their goals and conquer their fears. Together we can make a difference.

A Little Bit About Me...

As an aspiring writer, I hold a strong love for words in all forms. I enjoy writing them, reading them, speaking them, and sharing my love for them with others. My love for words helped me to earn a BA in Communication Studies while minoring in Journalism. In addition to utilizing these skills through extra-cirricular coursework and freelance writing opportunities, I have always enjoyed teaching others how to communicate through private tutoring. During the past 5 years, I have tutored students in phonics, reading and essay writing.
I believe that the best way to teach is by learning alongside the student. Through my previous tutoring experience, I have found that the most successful sessions are a result of first understanding the student's learning style. Once an understanding of the learning style is established, the tutoring sessions are catered to fit each student's personal n ... read more

During the completion of my Bachelor's degree in Psychology I had the opportunity to work with the Maricopa College District, as well as the No Child Left Behind Program. While working with the Maricopa College District I assisted students that were enrolled in the ACE Adult Program. These students ranged in ages from 18 to 65 years old. Additionally, I worked with Martin Porres Educational Services and the No Child Left Behind Program. During my years of tutoring I have assisted students in Psychology, Statistics, math courses up to Calculus, basic science classes, reading, English, computer courses, and nursing courses (relating to mathematics).
Not only do I love to teach and help students learn, I also enjoy helping students develop an appreciation for learning in general. The most gratifying experience while teaching is the look on a student's face, after hours of confusion, a ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am currently a School Psychologist for the school system. My job is to help identify students who have learning problems and develop interventions to target these problem areas. Since I have summers off, I usually work as a teacher/tutor. I absolutely love working with children on a one-to-one basis. I have experience working with students in Elementary School through College.
My teacher style is to first identify the specific area the student is struggling with. I help the students develop skills to better tackle the area. I believe in presenting the material in several different ways until the student understands it. I work hard to make learning a positive, fun and encouraging experience.

I love working with children, they are my passion. I believe that every child has the ability to learn. The key to making this happen is by finding their style of learning, by doing this each child will live up to their learning potential. I believe that children learn best through exploring the world around them and seeing all that it has to offer. I also believe that relating learning to real life situations gives learning a purpose. My teaching style is patient, easy going, and I gear my style towards each individual child’s needs. I strive to make a positive difference in every child’s life that I come in contact with. Children are our future and I feel that it’s my duty to show them the way.
