My teaching style is extremely hands-on. I have found through my coaching and swim lesson experience that I relate well to kids and by approaching the situation in a fun and friendly way I believe I reach the children more effectively. I have been extremely successful in teaching swim lessons and have helped beginners to reach elite athlete status. I employ the same tactics in the classroom and was a very successful mentor to troubled kids through the Be a T.I.G.E.R! program at Clemson University. My enthusiasm and creativity in teaching tactics help me to make the children understand the subject.
I obtained my BS in Business Management from Clemson University in August of 2009. During my time there I was a member of the Varsity Swimming team where I competed against world class athletes within the Atlantic Coast Conference. Balancing life as a student-athlete created a unique and ... read more

When I came to college I knew I wanted to teach and I knew I wanted to teach older students of the middle school, high school level. I began on the Adolescent, Young Adult Education track and never steered away from it. I have been granted many experiences in a classroom before I graduate and I have come to realize that every student needs individual attention and it has been my goal to give each child the opportunity to succeed. I enjoy helping students discover their potential through interactive, hands on lessons, and also at times through some direct instruction. I try my best to make a difference in my students' lives and I find it extremely important to develop a professional rapport with students, parents and other faculty.
I have spent the past four years studying the field of education with an added interest in social studies. In May 2010 I will have graduated from BGSU wi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am currently a private tutor for middle school and high school students that need educational assistance in biology, algebra, and chemistry. Since each student has different needs, I assess the obstacles to academic success during my first meeting with him/her, and structure our future sessions accordingly. I did my student teaching at St. Helen's School in Newbury, Ohio. My teaching here has given me valuable experience with classroom management, and with modifying academic instruction of the material being taught based on varying student abilities and comprehension. I taught subject matter pertaining to biology to the 7th graders, and material relating to motion to the 8th graders.
My teaching philosophy is that all students can learn, as long as they are motivated to learn, the educator is motivated to teach, and the academic instruction is modified and molded to the learn ... read more

I earned a BS in Electrical Engineering Technology and a AS in Criminal Justice, which shows you my ability of hardworking and determination. While obtaining these degrees I also received a certificate in Technical Mathematics. During the past year I tutored students in math and accounting

More About This Tutor...

I have experience working with learners of all ages. My earliest classroom experiences while studying at Kent State were with Kindergarten and 1st Grade classes, and I have substituted in classrooms all the way up through high school. I have worked with adults in a GED prep and ESL environment, and my certification/area of expertise is with adolescent and young adult learners.
I always seek to individualize my instruction. No two learners are alike, and this often gets lost in a busy crowded classroom. I believe that the ability to tailor instruction to a student's individual needs is essential for academic success.

As a young student I was very motivated to attend medical school at a young age. I received a bachelor degree, BS, in biology with minors in both psychology and chemistry. After graduating with my undergraduate degree early, I unexpectedly found a passion for teaching. Currently, I am working towards my masters degree, MS, in biology. Along with this I have been teaching introductory science labs for the university. I also, enjoy tutoring, one-on-one, students ranging from 2nd grade to undergraduates, in my spare time. My tutor experiences include interacting with special needs student as well.
As a student myself I know exactly what I want and expect out of a teacher. Learning is exciting for me, and it is important to me that I convey the 'fun' aspects of learning to my students. I am believe in conforming the way I teach to match the student's learning abilities. It is m ... read more

It was in my senior year at UConn that I learned about a program called City Year that enables young people as myself to work within the realm of urban education. As a City Year corps member, I was able to work both inside the classroom and after school with a group of 22 ninth grade boys at Glenville High School in Cleveland. Not only was I able to do in-class tutoring with these adolescents, but I was also able to to mentor them by encouraging them to do the right thing. Being so close in age to my students, I was further able to bridge the communication gap between these boys and their teachers.
I believe that each child learn differently, and as such, I have found the best way to teach is to cater to each child's individual learning style. In working one-on-one with students, I feel as though it is crucial to build a trusting relationship in which the child feels comfortabl ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style assesses in the student's learning ability to set the pace. Before beginning the next a review of the previous lesson is in order to be sure the prior lesson has been grasped. Each encounter with the students is an assessment for me as well as for the student of me. Positive reinforcement is a good way to keep students on point. It is not a good idea to become "chummy" with your stucents (familiarity breeds contempt). Gain your student's respect and respect your student in return but, you must take charge.
As a beginning substitute teaching day-to-day I encountered a diverse cross section of students. I taught from special education to advanced students. The encounters went from cultural, age, to behavioral. the subject matter went from home economics, art, math, english, history, to science. Most students lack structure and focus, therefore, knowledge and a lesso ... read more

I am a good listener and let the student tell me what problems they are having in any subject. I ask them questions to get them to think about what they're learning in depth. I let them explain things to me instead of just explain everything to them, this way I can find out what they already know and give them feedback so that they can improve on their weaknesses. I am patient with them and let them work at their own pace, never rushing them. I tailor my tutoring to each student's individual needs.
I tutored at Case Western Reserve's Center for Civic Engagement and Learning. I tutored kids of in middle school at the local library in all subjects. I have a bachelor's degree in biology and am in the postbaccalaureate program in nutrition.

A Little Bit About Me...

As an undergraduate psychology major at the University of Akron, I took advantage of a number of opportunities to help others. I have worked as a tutor at the University level, helping college students in the areas of intermediate algebra, college algebra, and Introduction to psychology. I have personally completed math courses up to Calculus III, but prefer tutoring the lower-level mathematics courses. In order to become a learning assistant (an undergraduate teacher’s assistant of sorts) I had to complete over fifty hours of training in tutorial and education related skills. Before my undergraduate career, I tutored an elementary-aged student in mathematics and English.
As a tutor, my number one goal is to assist students in understanding the root of the material before advancing into further knowledge or techniques. I am a patient, empathic, understanding tutor. I am willi ... read more
