A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style depends upon the learning preferences of the student, as I know each student has their own way of learning. Moreover, I also provide additional supplemental information and practice problems. I believe in learning not only the concepts of a subject, but also their real world applications. Furthermore, I believe the most important part of tutoring is making learning fun and providing students with confidence in the subject being tutored.
I have university teaching experience and tutoring students for 19 years in a variety of subjects for students in grades 1-12, as well as traditional and non-traditional Undergraduate and Graduate students. In addition to tutoring a variety of subjects, I also provide assistance with Master's theses and Ph.D. dissertations, specifically Statistical/Research Design Methodology and Statistical Analysis. I also have seven yea ... read more

Nurturing Minds, Enriching Lives, and Building Self-Esteem

Motivation is important because it is the driving force to achieve personal success. Our role as teachers is to learn what motivate each student and then utilize that knowledge. We will continually use sincere praise and maintain high standards. Students will become engaged in their own learning evidenced in academic achievement.

My comments on tutoring PSAT : 220

Depending on the subject, I utilize from my own academic career tools that I found were the most effective and most successful. More than willing to pass on my knowledge, I pledge to do my best in delivering the information in a concise manner that gets straight to the point.
Experience: Standardized Testing Scores: ACT - 35 SAT - 2300 SAT II Math II - 800 SAT II Chemistry - 800 SAT II Biology - 790 5's on all AP Tests listed above. I've been tutoring for the better part of two years. Through that time, I have gained an earnest understanding of what it means to be an effective mentor. I stand by my belief that knowing the information and teaching the information are two entirely different things. When I tutor, I use techniques that get directly to the heart of the information. I primarily tutor ACT/SAT prep, Math to Calculus III, and all the Sciences. I am ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Words cannot express my love and passion for teaching, I would say it is a profession that requires a great deal of patience and understanding but the payoff from its efforts is definitely worth it to me. Being student oriented, nurturing and supporting the growth of my students is fulfilling to me. I thrive on being a part of the development of their personal and social awareness. My compassion for others makes it a joy for me to work with students. My teaching is at its best when I am creating a rapport with students. I feel good when magic springs from the learning experiences and growth of my students.
I have been through a series of career paths and throughout the past few years have realized that I have a great passion for teaching. I have earned a bachelors degree in Health Science from Benedictine University and would say that it was a very well-rounded curriculum and more ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My passion is developing the full potential of my students by providing them with the skills that foster the ability to solve problems and think for themselves. While any discipline requires rigorous training and a mastery of its facts, quality instruction also awakens the ability to see connections, think critically, and apply one's learning to evaluate contemporary problems or historical events. Accomplished teachers utilize as many teaching styles and methods as there are kinds of students and levels of proficiency. I construct my classes on the basis of guided discovery. The challenge is to make history come alive by arousing the imagination and effectively placing students in other worlds.

A Little Bit About Me...

In my view, education is an ongoing process. I believe successful learning is mutual between teacher and student. In my view it is also imperative to foster a culture of respect in the classroom, to stay true to the subject matter, and to keep up with new developments in the field. But at the same time, I advocate being somewhat slow to embrace every new teaching trend since they may come and go. Finally, as a professional educator I endeavor to treat students/parents as clients and other teachers/administrators/ staff members as colleagues. True education as way of life never ends!
In the mid-to-late 1980s I led workshops and served as a chaperone for U.S. and international foreign exchange program students aged 16-19 under the auspices of American Field Services (AFS). Then in the late 1980s and mid-1990s, I taught the basic speech course (public speaking) at several urban ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I started my teaching career as a Teach For America corps member in Atlanta, Georgia, where I taught sixth grade language arts at Crawford Long Middle School. Most recently, I had the honor of teaching at KIPP: LEAD College Prep Charter School in Gary, Indiana. I previously held Language Arts Certificates (6-12) in both Georgia and Indiana. I also have experience tutoring college freshmen in an introductory college writing seminar.
Teaching was never a job for me, but rather a way to practice a passion. I believe that every child possesses the ability to learn and it is the responsibility of educators to cultivate such talent and foster growth. I believe in helping students reach their potential by teaching them to pose and answer questions about the world around them. My classroom was a place where children were excited about learning. I made sure to convey my love of the English ... read more

I am patient, and I make the students think. I have tutored students from 10 to 80 years of age. I also try to boost the confidence of students if they are down. Most Importantly, I make sure that the students have the fundamental concepts jotted down in their armory to crack any exam/problem. I also make sure that the students maintain the same proficiency in the subject for years to come.
Hi, I am Karna. I have graduated in the May of 2009 with "Astronomy" major, from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign (U of I). I have amazing mental math skills as well.

A Little Bit About Me...

My most recent experience in teaching would be the year I spent in Seoul, South Korea. I began as a teacher and was soon the head teacher of the Kindergarten programs. Our kindergarten programs were a full day and full immersion for the students. I taught the middle school afternoon programs from ages 6-14 and at every level as well as in every subject. My most advanced students were fluent and therefore studied intensive subjects such as science, political history, geography and several others. We most intensely worked on writing and reading. My college experiences were spent observing as a student teacher, tutoring hispanic immigrants, and eventually teaching a semester of high school spanish classes. As an education minor (Secondary Education) I have been trained in teaching all fields of education. As a nanny for a large family in London, England following graduation, I spe ... read more

I have mostly taught university-level students but I have occasionally worked with high school students. I would like the opportunity to work with all age groups. In my opinion, students learn in many different ways so it is useful to approach difficult concepts in practical ways. I like to use visual media when teaching (films, excerpts from relevant programs, still images, powerpoint) to reiterate main points. I like to work closely with students and believe this type of communication is what allows each student to fully understand what's expected in the assignment. I believe providing a comfortable and easy going approach to tutoring so that learning is enjoyable. I am honest, patient, and nice.

A Little Bit About Me...

My favorite teaching experiences have been tutoring students one on one-it is truly remarkable to see the improvement students can make when they are able to work at their own pace and with individualized attention. I am committed to helping children attain their goals through showing them how much I believe in their success. Through providing individualized attention, I enjoy adapting to how students best learn-whether it be through shorter, more frequent sessions, helping students to develop study strategies, or working with students to increase interest in a subject. I am very patient, compassionate, and flexible-I am committed to working with students to help them reach their goals. I also understand that parent and teacher communication can be essential to help a student reach these goals-and certainly would strive to maintain a relationship with a student's teachers to have an ... read more
