Down to Earth tutor more worried about the academics than $

Tutored (recommended by school) fellow classmates elementary though college and various friends and family. Was the type of student that would teach myself and help others that were behind. I work hard to learn about others and help them in the way they need to be helped. Education is a journey and having the right tour guide is the most important part.
Anything K-12 and some college math, science, physics, psychology, and pre-med.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching philosophy is to get students to think about science as a process, and to individualize their learning experiences. I prompt them to “why” and “how” questions at every stage.
Progressing through graduate school and working as a undergraduate student demonstrator allowed me to define learning as a personal process of growth. Being able to ask questions and actually attempt to answer those questions was extremely motivating. Involving and motivating students presents its challenges, but my goal of individualizing learning creates an open and comfortable environment where students can feel free to ask questions, make mistakes, and challenge themselves. It is by breaking down the barriers to learning that students can face their own misconceptions.

More About This Tutor...

In the past, I have tutored other students, usually my peers, off and on, and it never fails to provide satisfaction at helping others learn. As a 2009 graduate of Allegheny College, I earned a BS in Biology with a minor in French. I served as a "Peer Leader" for incoming freshman, where I acted in the capacity as a teaching assistant and made myself available to the students if they needed help writing papers, doing research, or with any other academic aspect not directly related to that class. I have helped with English grammar, writing papers, and informally, I have aided others with Biology and French.
I have a love of learning, and there is nothing better than teaching others to love it, too. I am very patient, organized, and considerate of your child's needs, learning pace, and abilities. I believe that anyone can do well if they have the proper guidance and help. I've ... read more

I have been teaching children in grades Pre-school through the third grade for 14 years. My experiences have been a lead teacher in a Head Start program, private kindergartens, and pre-schools. I have also tutored children in elementary reading, science, and math. My teaching and volunteering experiences have given me an opportunity to encounter with many different types of children and families, such as children with disabilities and family from different income levels. I am familiar with having parent-teacher conferences, collecting work samplings for portfolios, and assessing children within the seven domains of learning. I am also a mom of a six year old.
I enjoy teaching and working with all children. They are our future. Through my teaching career, I have seen that children learn in many different ways. Some children learn faster than others and there are some children who ... read more

I was trained as a Secondary School teacher to use the Communicative Method of instruction. This helps students to create meaning from their studies and link classroom learning to outside experiences. I try to plan lessons and educational activities specific to student needs and interests. I work well with groups and individuals, Americans and internationals. In order to enable students to think outside the box, I use a variety of resources, including media, to explain topics and involve students. My lessons are consistent and balanced with listening, reading, writing, and speaking activities.
While studying at Bradley University, I worked with the CHOICES program tutoring local disadvantaged High School students in core curriculum: History, English, Math, Science, etc. As a French tutor, I volunteered to help my fellow classmates learn the French language. After obtaining ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a Grove City College graduate, with honors, I earned more than a teaching degree. A striving for excellence has permeated my teaching experiences whether as a classroom teacher, tutor, or homeschooling teacher. The past 27 years of teaching experiences have included all subjects from Kindergarten through eighth grade, and even most general high school subjects. I have also spent 7 years working with McGraw-Hill companies with their textbooks. The majority of my teaching proficiency has been gained from a one-on-one relationship, which I believe is the best approach to academic success for the student.
I enjoy finding the best learning approach for each individual student and watching as he or she discovers the joy of learning. Once success and confidence is gained, learning becomes a positive, enlightening experience. I also believe that creativity lends itself in promoting lear ... read more

As a result of my post-high school studies in mathematics and business, I feel I'm suited to tutor people in those subjects. Statistics, quantitative methods, and analytical methods are my strongest subjects. Additionally, I have college graduate level skills in English/grammar, science, and social studies. Although theses were not part of my major, I do have above high school skills to share with those who need help in those subjects. Out of those three, my English skills are above average from writing many research papers on business subjects.
This particular position interests me because I struggled with math through middle school and understand the frustration it can create for a student. Mathematics is now my strongest subject and I chose the profession of accounting to utilize those strengths. During my time at college, I helped other students with their studies in math ... read more

I had been a teacher for 12 years engaging in a multitude of learning styles and methodology. I spent 6 years serving as principal at all levels. I was Director of Education for two years and then served as Superintendent of Schools for two districts for a total of 15 years. During that time I never lost connection with teaching, mentoring students from all levels of education and continued to teach in the classroom at least once a week. I was an adjunct professor for two years at Waynesburg University in Pennsylvania. I retired in 2009 to travel and photograph the country, while living in and RV. I miss teaching and have sought a position with your entity hoping to tutor while traveling America.

The experience of teaching students, though complicated at times, was extremely rewarding. I felt a sense of joy when my students understood a concept here and there. I soon realized I was slowly becoming a role model to younger students that were interested in studying chemistry. My experiences as a graduate student and teaching assistant enhanced my curiosity and desire to help young scholars achieve their dreams. One of my main goals of teaching is to promote active learning which will be approach using real case studies, minute paper and concept maps to review previous student’s knowledge and draw a parallel of the concepts discussed in the lecture.
I have a Ph.D in Chemistry in 2008. I have taught chemistry labs for 4 years in my graduate school. From 1999-2001, I was tutoring students from elementary school up to high school in math and science classes

I believe that every person is born with a special gift. I believe that it is my role as a teacher to help a child discover those gifts and utilize them for the better good. This is what I will base my teaching philosophy around. Being a science teacher, I will rely on the scientific method. I will teach in a way that compels children to rethink their previous experiences and expand on those experiences with new meaningful ideas. I have always been extremely fascinated by biology and science; I would love to transform my passion into a real life room of fun and imagination. It is my dream to set my future classroom in ordinance to these beliefs. I hope to inspire and motivate my students to develop a passion for learning as I have.
I am a recent graduate earning two degrees, a bachelor’s degree in biology as well as elementary education. I completed my student teaching in ... read more

Have been teaching and tutoring all my life! I have been told by many people that this is a natural talent I possess. I am somewhat of a generalist in the sciences and keep pretty much up to date in the field. I feel that my training in Psychology is an added skill set that can be useful as a tutor. I have friends in the field who tell me I would be successful in the field, and most important (to me), I would bring passion, a depth of understanding, and [hopefully] joy to myself and the "tutee"!
I am, by nature, an "explainer" who can easily put himself in the shoes of the student. With patience, and a knack for common communication, I have been able to cogently and clearly, I feel, get across abstruse and complex concepts, issues and ideas to those patient enough to follow the process. I have been an active member of my local chapter of Cafe Scientifique (Pittsburgh), and this has ... read more

I believe that children learn best from hands on experiences. It is up to me, the teacher to create these experiences, guide the child, and provide lots of postive reinforcement. There are many ways to learn and it is up to the teacher to help the student find which ways they learn best. There is also many different areas of intelligence and every person has a strength in one or more of these areas. Expectations should always be made clear, as well as an opportunity for routine, but also allowing room for flexibility. The child always comes first.
I realized my passion for teaching after working in a daycare for two years and organizing their preschool program. At, Carlow my teaching experiences were enhanced through my various field placements and student teaching. In October 2008, I began working as the third grade teaching assistant, at The Urban League of Pittsburgh Charter Sc ... read more

I have seven years working experience. I have worked as a TSS and in a special needs classroom. I have experience with visually and multi-disabled children, working with autistic and downs syndrome children, and basic sign language skills. I have my BS degree in elementary education from the University of Pittsburgh.
I love teaching children and I learn from them as much as they learn from me! Every child is different and special and they learn differently and I believe that is the challenge of teaching that I love. My goal is to help children learn in different ways and make it fun!
