Student at Wellesley College

I taught English to low income Brazilian students in Sao Paulo Brazil's largest favela for 4 years in high school. Now, as a student at the accredited Wellesley College, I tutor young elementary aged pupils in reading and math. I received an International Baccalaureate Diploma in high school specializing in Biology, Mathematics, Visual Art, Critical Interpretation (English), and History. I also completed standard level Portuguese (as a fluent/native speaker). Prior to my tutoring and teaching experiences, I was also a babysitter for my neighborhood starting from the age of 10. I have taken babysitting classes during the summer, and from that have become certified by the American Red Cross. In addition to these formal opportunities, I have extensive experience volunteering for organizations such as the YMCA (teaching soccer camps and participating in the feeding programs), and Habitat for ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

With so many years teaching middle school students in classrooms, I specialize in crafting just the right learning environment for students, emotionally safe but a little push outside their intellectual comfort zone. This is achieved through patience, clarity of thought, and modeling a sense of wonder about the world. I have worked with students who receive special education services as well as gifted students, and am adept at differentiating content and delivery to best promote comprehension and retention. Finally, everyone learns best when they feel like they are having fun and making their own discoveries--it's my job to ensure this sense of adventure is part of students' educational experience, offering ever more motivation to learn.
With 7 years of international and U.S-based teaching, tutoring, and training experience, I am at ease teaching multiple subjects to individuals an ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My 20+ year teaching career began in high school when I ran an after-school tutoring program. At the University of Georgia I tutored for the chemistry and biology departments. I earned a BS in Genetics and a Masters of Education. I taught biology, physical science, ecology, and human anatomy in 2 public high schools in Georgia. I was nominated Teacher of the Year and earned the Georgia Science Teacher of Promise Award. Since then I have tutored math, science, reading, and test prep for grades 5-12 and college. I have recently renewed my Georgia Teaching Certificate for grades PK-5 and 7-12.
I am very much a hands-on instructor. Long ago, I heard the Chinese Proverb “I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.” These words embody my personal teaching philosophy. I utilize a varied and balanced set of teaching strategies that will meet the needs of all types of ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

What makes me a great tutor is my patience and understanding of a student in need. I believe all children are capable of success but sometimes may need a little extra help to get there. My teaching style is one of comparisons and analogies. Sometimes students just do not understand the mathematical terms. For this reason, I compare problems to something the student is familiar with, allow them to see the connection to the problem at hand and then guide them to solving the problem. This strategy has proven to be very successful and I've often had students tell me "You make it seem so easy!"
I have a bachelor degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry, which has allowed me to gain a deep understanding of both sciences. I was also a Mathematics tutor at Florida A&M University for about two years. I tutored everything from grammar school mathematics up to Calculus II. I have al ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My teaching style is based on the student’s learning style. Each child is different and may require different teaching methods to facilitate learning. Some children are more visual and may require more interactive exercises to learn. I do not believe in spoon-feeding information to children but taking the time to ensure that they fully grasped the concept of a problem and are able to think through a solution on their own. I will work to develop their critical thinking skills and will challenge them, so that they are not just passive learners but active participants in the cognitive process. I am patient and will work at the student’s pace encouraging him/her to give his/her best effort to the given task.
As an undergraduate student I was always in the top ten percentile of my math, chemistry and biology classes, and as a result, I tutored fellow college students in those respectiv ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I love teaching and engaging with people of all ages. Everyone learns in a different way, and it is kind of exciting to see how people think and try to connect with them. I believe that it is possible for anyone to learn; some people just have to take a different approach to get to their objective. I love the entire learning and teaching process, and I am pretty fond of people as well!
I can be helpful in math up through Algebra II, and have extensive knowledge of counseling, religious studies, writing, and have used accounting a bit in bookkeeping. I could tutor social studies up through high school because I have found such a great overlap between religion and counseling and human services. Right now I am in a class on trauma and presenting on human trafficking. I can tutor English in grammar and writing composition simply because of all the writing I have had to do for college. ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I believe that science has a undeserved reputation for difficulty as a subject that is directly related to the inability of many teachers to "break it down". Science can seem to be like a foreign language to the uninitiated, but at its essence science is simply a way of thinking about the world and asking questions. Several themes appear again and again in concepts that on the surface may seem unrelated and it is recognizing these themes that is the key to success in building knowledge and confidence. My teaching philosophy is to point out these common threads binding various topics in science and relate it to the real world as quickly as possible, always with the goal of breaking it down to its simplest explanation.
I hold a bachelor of science in Biology (cum laude) from Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA and attended graduate school at the University of Pennsylvania School of Me ... read more

Inquiry- I want the kids to learn through inquiry. Figuring out a problem through experimentation and critical thought of outcomes. I like to start with the basics and go from there. For older students, college and adults, I teach them study skills and notetaking and then go over the subject matter that they learned in class,

More About This Tutor...

My first goal is determine the level the student is currently at with the particular subject and work my way forward from there. I determine exactly what the student doesn't understand and attempt to break it down for them as much as possible until it's clear.
My experience includes 2 years as a Youth Counselor for the City of Tallahassee (1999 & 2001). I am also the oldest of 5 children with the age difference ranging from 6-16 years, so I've had the responsibility of assisting my siblings with school work. I currently continue to provide assistance as requested by my parents or siblings. I recently began mentoring a prospective accounting major who is in her 2nd year of college and I provide help with her studies. In High School, I took accounting courses as elective and participated in FBLA (a business club) and won first place in an accounting competition (2000). My work expe ... read more
