My comments on tutoring Entrance Exams : High school entrance exams such as SSAT, HPST, ISEE, COOP, math. Many licensing exams involve math. Placement exams, including Accuplacer. I tutor math - elementary past high school level, as well as for licensing, placement, graduate admission exams, and more. I would love to learn more about your need. I teach math plainly and simply. I explain things in a way that is easy to understand and remember. The key to my success as a tutor is in how quickly I can assess where you are, connect to that, and work from there. Clients make quick success with me because I teach how to work independently, saving you time and money. I realize the answer to any one problem is not important in the end. What IS important is getting you to a place where you can think through, and do the math on your own. This approach helps you make greater progress overall and saves you time and money. Results don't lie. Please take a look at the reviews left for me here -- https://www.wyzant.com/Tutors/mathzap -- to see if I would be a good fit for you. You can message me here or there to confirm that is really me. I'd love to hear from you!

A Little Bit About Me...

I had once been told by a very seasoned teacher that "If you can not go through the front door find an open window." She opened my eyes to creative, and interesting ways to stimulate young minds. I love helping children learn, and finding their open window. A great teacher can incorporate different styles of teaching to adapt to a child's learning ability.
As a hardworking individual with excellent communication skills, I would like to explore the possibility of putting my talents and experience to help children. Currently I have a successful and satisfying career with Artwell Gallery, a nonprofit community based art gallery. However I am looking forward to embarking on a new career. I hold a BA in Radio, Television, and Film from Rowan University. For three years I worked in a pre-school teaching Art to students aged three to five.

One constant holds between the middle-schoolers and Ivy League engineering students that I have tutored: simplicity works. My style is to eliminate any strange concepts or terminology and instead focus in on the basic principles underlying an idea. After the student understands the basic principle, he or she begins to apply it through examples, problem sets, or writing. As students become more confident, they will begin to understand the nuances of whatever it is they seek to learn. With a basic theoretical knowledge re-enforced by practice, students will be able to apply their new skills long after their tests and quizzes are done with.
As an Ivy League Physics-turned-Social Sciences major, I have mastered two distinct skill-sets: one mathematical and one analytical. My mathematical background includes single and multivariable calculus as well as differential equations. I have tut ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

For the 2008-09 school year I was employed in the Connecticut school system in the special education department. There I developed experience tutoring special education students in grades K-6 and worked closely with a myriad of personalities, both adults and children. Additionally, I spent the previous year leading the art department of an influential promotional products firm. I gained experience in customer service and graphic design, and also invaluable knowledge regarding teamwork and juggling multiple tasks. These various facets of my background have enabled me to work well with both children and adults, in special education or otherwise.
I love working with both children and adults and enjoy both the similarities and differences in teaching style required for each. My previous experiences, both in academic and creative fields, have afforded me a great level of patience a ... read more

I thoroughly enjoy accounting and would be honored to work with children and young adults in teaching them the skills I have gained throughout the years. I believe in teaching hands on and focusing on children's strengths rather than their weaknesses. I also have the patience and the desire to work with children and teach them the fundamentals of accounting. Their future can be promising if they master the basics. Once the basics are established, there are unlimited opportunities.
I have a double degree in Accounting and Finance and have had the opportunity to put these degrees to use in the workplace. Whether it's financial statement analysis or remediation, I have the hands on experience in accounting and finance that enables me to relate classroom concepts to real world problems. Being able to teach real world applications helps the student understand the reasons behind the ru ... read more

My primary activities during my professional career have been teaching and counseling. My experience covers clients across the lifespan: from infants in early care and education through grand- parents in post-secondary education and college courses. I have taught and tutored the basics: reading, writing, composition, comprehension, fluency, basic mathmatical functions, etc. I have also taught major required and elective courses in the field of Social and Behavioral Sciences.
As the "Summary of Experience" paragraph describes, I enjoy teaching people of all ages. I suppose my first love is working with young learners: seeing the "aha!" spark that shines when a child first absorbs a concept or masters a skill that is new, or one which has previously proved difficult. My teaching style could be described as "eclectic", in that I draw from the many resources available to find a "l ... read more

I have four semesters of calculus, numerous chemistry, physics, engineering, computer science, statistics, finance, accounting, marketing, management, and liberal arts courses. I also have a temporary CT teaching certificate for secondary education math.
I believe any student is capable of learning any subject when they are taught in a gentle and patient manner. It is important to help the student gain confidence with the subject and to build his self-esteem. As the student increases his knowledge and problem-solving abilities his confidence and curiosity will also increase. Learning will become a lifetime pursuit.

I love teaching people of all ages. My easy going demeanor and enthusiastic attitude have allowed me to make a strong connection with all my students. This connection is crucial because I have a what I believe is a traditional teaching style which emphasizes organization and analytical skills through constant and sustained practice. By connecting with my students and treating them as individuals, I foster the sense of responsibility required to follow through and become a successful student in any subject.
As an undergraduate at NYU, I earned that extra spending money by tutoring Latin. As my customer base grew, I branched out into mathematics and general study skills. After college I went to Europe to earn an MA in Linguistics. Upon return, I immediately began a PhD program, and I used my previous experience in a number of side jobs teaching English as a second language. Ov ... read more

After graduating from the University of Connecticut with a BA in English, I went on to pursue my teaching certification through an internship program. During that time and shortly following, I had the opportunity to work as a teacher's assistant in grades 3 and 5, a long term substitute in grade 3, and a long term substitute in a sixth grade Language Arts class. From there, I was hired as a third grade teacher, which is what I currently teach. In addition, I have tutored students, in grades 2 through 6, in various areas including Reading, Writing, and Math.
My passion in life is working with children! I love teaching and having the opportunity to share knowledge with children.
