Hands-on, smiles-on!

Hey! My names Bethy! I'm 13 years old and in 8th grade. I've been tutoring since I was in 5th grade. I can tutor all ages in almost any subject. Last year I had the highest GPA in my whole school! I love teaching anyone who is willing to learn! I also teach children with learning disabilities and special needs.
I am very laid back and flexible. While I might be calm I only have 3 rules, 1. Be respectful, 2. the words "I can't" are not allowed :), and 3. have fun! I tend to create games based on the skills that are being taught and I'm not into lecturing, my approach is very hands. Learning can be fun!

Teaching and School Counseling Services In One Place!

I have been a teacher for the last fifteen years. I teach social studies, but my specialization is teaching argumentative (college level) writing.I have done plenty of SAT prep and tutoring for students at the high school and college level. I am also a school counselor and can offer a vast array of services including FASFA, Naviance/Common Application and college/career counseling.
My style of education is to teach by modeling. Students need to see things in a step-by-step format with instructions, followed by an immediate example. I also provide sample argumentative essays for students who learn by seeing a complete model. My counseling style is to work with students, first by building a rapport and then using that as the foundation to get a feel for their college/career interests. I then look at their grades to help them build a custom transitional plan into early adulthood.

I'm a very bright high school senior with a rigorous AP schedule at New Britain High. I don't have any tutoring experience but I've worked for two years at a christian summer camp, so I have a lot of experience with children of all ages. I've always had a talent for explaining material and making it fun, and I'm interested of pursuing a career in post secondary education.

Certified in Secondary Social Studies Education (7-12)

Everybody deserves a safe and equal opportunity to enhance his or her knowledge. It is imperative that teachers create a classroom environment in which every student feels as though he or she is valued, belongs, and can make a contribution without fearing ridicule or humiliation. Students will feel more confident and will be more willing to take chances if a comfortable learning environment has been established. Part of creating a comfortable learning environment depends entirely on the teacher’s personality. If the student feels as though the teacher is open, honest, sincere and caring, he or she will not only respect the teacher more, but will also feel comfortable learning from that particular teacher. I have been able to establish very good rapport with my students, and because of this, many students have been willing to go the extra mile on my behalf. Establishing good rappo ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have worked in the educational field for 25 plus years now. My first experience in the profession was in the mid-80's as a private tutor for junior high and high school students. I was also hired by my town and a neighboring town to provide homebound instruction. Subject areas I was responsible for included social sciences, American and world history, mathematics and English. Upon completion of my certification requirements I was employed at a small private school. The school specialized in assisting students with learning and developmental disabilities. During the evenings I worked in the adult education program of a local town. Subject areas I taught were civics, English as a second language and external diploma program. My school also sent me to receive training and be the representative in the "Newspapers in Education" program. I am currently employed as an adult education represen ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My goal is to help your child achieve success. I explain real-life applications of the subject (i.e., metric system--repair of foreign cars.) I encourage questions and dialogue. I use praise when warranted but am firm on deadlines and honesty. Aware of attention span, I take appropriate breaks or switch to another subject. I remind him to read and follow directions and to check his work over before he hands it in. I believe that in this fast-paced technical age your child needs the best chance possible to compete successfully. I have found that even with one exposure, a good educator can have a huge positive impact upon a student's confidence and comprehension. It is very gratifying to both student and teacher when this occurs.
I have had a successful career as a medical scientist in hospital, government, and reference laboratories in the northeast and southern U.S., holding ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy helping people acquire knowledge. I have experienced the full spectrum of both poor and excellent instructors myself, so I am aware of what needs to be done in order to facilitate learning. I assess the abilities of each person I work with and develop an approach accordingly. I think that a combination of patience and humor can provide for an outstanding learning environment, and I employ this approach when teaching.
Both my Education and work experiences have thoroughly enhanced both my knowledge, as well as my communications skills. Having a degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry, I have attained knowledge in various fields of science. I have been gifted with a natural ability to communicate, and my experiences in both work and study have enhanced both my verbal and my written communication skill. Both in college as well in camps, I have had the privilege of tutoring ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am an avid writer of short stories and poetry, as well as song lyrics. I am an excellent public speaker and earned an A in this subject in college. I have been told I have a way with words, and have become the "walking dictionary" for family and friends. I have published a book of poetry from beiginning to end, without the help of a publishing company. I also have experience being a mom's helper to two autistic boys ages 3 and 5.
I really enjoy kids and helping them to think highly of themselves above all. I do not have any direct teaching experience, however I have done many hours of volunteering at my former church. Kids take to me. I know how to talk to them, without talking down to them.

My educational career was full of challenges that have given me a broad basis of knowledge for tutoring. In high school, I earned the International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma. I subsequently earned a BS in Ceramic Engineering and an MBA in Operations Management. I started tutoring in high school when I managed a literacy program that paired high school students with students at a local elementary school. In college, I tutored math and physics through a formal program at the high school. After graduation, I continued to tutor, and in the past six years, I have tutored many students in all levels of mathematics (elemenatary, high school, and college). I also tutor students in college test preparation (SAT and ACT), spanish,science, English, and reading.
I enjoy working closely with students and their families to achieve the student's goals. I know that the definition of "succe ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Every student has something to contribute, and has a certain talent. It is all about harnessing that talent for me. I believe that every child can learn, it is simply a matter of how to help. I am patient, relaxed, honest, yet considerate. I utilize a discussion type of learning, in which the myself and my student discusses the problem and finds a solution to correcting that problem. I take great satisfaction in helping students succeed, and would be honored to help your child succeed and learn.
As the first member of my family to graduate college, I understand the value of hard work and a good, solid education. I want to help students achieve and build upon thier education. I have earned a Bachelor's Degree in History/Secondary Education, which has not only helped me to gain an understanding of the wide ranging subject matter of social studies and history, I also have extensive gr ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that there is no such thing as a "bad" student/child. There are children that need more help and attention than others but everyone deserves the same amount of effort. I am very patient and laid back and really want to provide the best care possible to all children that I teach. I believe that students learn best when they are completely involved in the lesson. I like hands-on activities and less lecturing. The children that I teach now could testify to my ability to bring humor into the classroom and to make sure that learning is fun.
I received my BA from one of the top liberal arts colleges in the country. In addition to my psychology degree, I also studied Spanish extensively. Based on the liberal arts education that I received, I am fully capable of teaching a number of subjects including Spanish, History, and English. Currently, I teach Spanish and US Histor ... read more
