More About This Tutor...

I have experience teaching individuals of all ages. I have been working with various tutoring companies since May. Furthermore, I have taught numerous children how to read and do basic math. I have tutored many of my classmates in various subjects including psychology, English, biology, and algebra since high school. I facilitate day treatment groups teaching severely emotionally disturbed children social skills, behavior management, and life skills. These children also have a range of diagnoses such as autism or ADHD. I helped provide group and individual reading instruction for adults with developmental disabilities for a year. During this time I also supervised clients and helped teach arts, theater, and dance classes for adults with developmental disabilities. I used to be a church nursery teacher where I taught basic gospel principles to children 18 months through three years old. I ... read more

My comments on tutoring Sociology : Although I only took two semesters of Sociology in college, they were taught by a very intense and demanding professor who assigned a lot of work and books to read, and formulated incredibly difficult exams, I aced both classes, and tutored Sociology for over 10 years. So basically, I believe I a more than qualified to teach the subject more than competently.

Extremely Interactive and Student-Specific Methods Tailored to each Student's Needs & Goals
I consider myself to be a uniquely seasoned, qualified, and experienced tutor who can adapt to any situation and to any student in order to benefit their education and learning experience. Due to my ability to teach and tutor children and adults of all ages, (in addition to my own near-perfect scores on the SAT & ACT) I was one of the first Instructors hired by PrepExpert, a national company that specializes in preparing students for the SAT, ACT, AP, other exams, and simply for help in regular classes at all levels. This company is so successful and growing so fast because of the unparalleled improvements among students that it recently appeared on ABC's show "Shark Tank," during which Mark Cuban was impressed enough to buy a substantial stake in the company and is a current partner.

A Little Bit About Me...

Although each child has his or her own style of learning, I believe in bringing out their highest potential by feeding them with the kind of construcive criticism and positive reinforcement that motivates every young mind. I am patient, respectful and warm. My hope as a tutor is to help students learn more easily by providing them with essential tools they will be able to use for the rest of their lives. In my 20 + years as a student, I have become convinced that a great teacher is essential to bolstering confidence, passion and motivation to learn. I intend to inspire all three.

I enjoy teaching and utilize several different types of styles to keep students interested and desirous of learning. I provide thought provoking questions which require more than a simple yes or no answer. I envoke lecture as little as required to get across the point, but prefer demonstration or class participation. I utilize small groups so that students learn to interact with others.
I have been teaching at the post-secondary level for 3 years. Prior to that time I taught classes in Emergency Medical Technician and Cardio-pulmonary Life Support to military Doctors, nurses and medical techinicians. I have been able to develop a great rapport with my students and offer special one-on-one attention when needed to ensure the required knowledge is gained. I have assisted students with medical laboratory procedures requiring unique individual instruction.

More About This Tutor...

There are many teaching methods that stand behind my philosophy. I believe that remaining aware of the different ways in which children learn, and taking those learning styles into consideration throughout my lesson planning and delivery, is of great importance. The classroom environment is also very important. A healthy learning environment, where both my students and I can take risks, make mistakes and learn from one another, is key. My philosophy of education will keep on evolving as I gain teaching experience. I will add some new goals and revise others. Even as my philosophy undergoes change, I believe that my main goal will remain the same. My mission is to motivate students to become life-long learners, and help them acquire skills that will enable them to pursue independent learning.
Throughout college, I completed two field experiences followed by my student teaching ex ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

While doing my Bachelor's in Economics I was tutoring at a nearby college. My subjects were English, Social studies, Biology and Chemistry. My recent tutoring experience involves my own children, both of whom I tutored in every subject up to the seventh grade. Except for Arithmetic, I still help my son in High School with other subjects.
I look on teaching as a learning experience.I learn from my students, from their input and work on it, what I give is based on my student,s knowledge which I learn with patient effort.I start by letting the student tell me all thereby revealing his/her knowledge of the subject.Then I work to improve on their needs based on their knowledge.

I am a patient person and I feel that is very important in any learning environment. I believe in empowering all students to strive for their best potential, I feel there is no such thing as "failure" but there is a thing called "feedback". I have a lot of empathy for children. In addition children can learn anything if we break it down into bits and pieces.
I have been a substitute teacher for the school district for 4years now. I have taught in a variety of settings including, but not limited to severe special ed, autism, ADHD, K-6 grades in diversifed settings.
