My comments on tutoring Testing Skills : Vocabulary and sentence structure are the foundations for ASL. The way in which you apply your skills will represent your skill set.

Start with the basics. Assess what level the student is at and then work that into a more challenging structure to pertain to what the student would like to accomplish.
I have been immersed the field of interpreting since 2008. Having graduated out of Bloomsburg University in 2012, over the last two years I have been professionally interpreting in three states and in various fields. My work ranges from public school classes, college lectures, medical appointments, religious sermons, platform events and government assignments. Regularly, I attend different workshops and Deaf events around the community to keep up with my skills and to continue learning the ever changing language of ASL.

My engaging style is evident at the start of each tutoring session. I show my students by personal example how to persevere and succeed in academics and in life. For the past 15 years, I have been a full-time tutor for students in grades 1-12. I am a graduate of Wesleyan University with an emphasis in physical and cultural anthropology and an ongoing fascination with the study of prehistoric human societies. Presently, I use my diverse experience as a tutor, copy editor and radio news broadcaster to make each tutoring session truly memorable for my students. My students quickly see how much I care for their progress and success. I consider tutoring to be much more than just a profession, but a way to provide others with needed assistance. It is this goal, when met, which provides me with my greatest satisfaction as an educator.

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy working with children and getting to know them and their learning styles. Each child learns in different ways and I like to focus on using a variety of methods. Some children are more visual learners, while others are auditory learners. I often like to "conference" with my students and get their feed back to know what is working for them or not and give them the effective strategies that work for them best. I strive to give them confidence in what they are doing and enjoy what they are learning. Teachers who are enthuastic, supportive, and understanding can make a world of difference to a child's educational program.
I am a graduate from Albertus Magnus College and my concentration was in Child Development. Most of my education included studying the child's brain and how it develops and learns. Studying child development has become essential to my practice as a teacher in t ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a determined, enthusiastic, and highly motivated teacher, who wants their students to grow academically, socially, and emotionally in an atmosphere that is stimulating and adaptive to their diverse needs. My expectations for my students are high, and by the end of the school year students realize that they can achieve any goal set before them. Geographical and cultural experiences throughout my travels have helped me to become flexible in my teaching, while perfecting high organizational standards and skills. It takes more than a single individual to make a difference in the lives of a class of students. Therefore, I have learned the value of being a team player and the importance of communicating with colleagues, parents, and administrators so that I will be able to provide the best education possible for my students. I believe that my energy, education, and experience combine to ... read more

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 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.

As a psychology major I understand that all children have a different way of learning. It is a challenge in the classroom to provide instruction for multiple students with multiple ways of learning. I believe that with the assistance a student receives from tutoring, no matter what age, they will be able to understand themselves and their way of learning as well as the material. I am a very patient individual that works hard at helping students to determine what style of learning works best for them. This will not only provide them with instruction outside of the classroom but it will also provide them with the ability to succeed in the future.
I have obtained a Bachelor's degree in psychology from Western New England College and a Master's degree from the University of New Haven. While I worked at the University of New Haven, I was a Graduate Learning Assistant in the Disabilit ... read more

I am currently self-employed as a computer software trainer. My practice includes clients as well as groups. As part of my work, I'm currently an adjunct professor at 2 local community colleges. I'm also a Sunday school teacher at my local congregation. I've been doing this for many years. My classes over the years have ranged from K-6th grade. I thoroughly enjoy it and it's fair to say I get more than I give. Finally, I also teach adult ed as part of my business. My catalog includes not only computer courses but also piano, voice, guitar, and songwriting, as well as any other courses that I feel confident in teaching. I'm also a musician and believe in music, where possible, as part of my teaching philosophy.
People who've seen me teach describe me as relaxed, focused, and funny. For better or worse (I like to think better), I believe in age appropriate humor as part of an ove ... read more

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

I greatly enjoy finding a way to inspire a child to understand the problem at hand. Through from my experience in grade school and my observation of students that attend tough schools I've realized the monotonous class schedule and disciplinary philosophy of most schools deflates most student's desire to succeed. While I can relate to this rebellious reaction I also know that it is no excuse for not trying very hard in school because the main path to success as a young adult is a high school diploma with excellent grades. I am very patient and friendly with students of all abilities.
A diverse education at Wesleyan University has prepared me to tutor many high school subjects. I earned my BA at Wesleyan in Music but I almost double majored in Environmental Science. The high expectations of professors at Wesleyan pushed me to greatly improve my writing ability, with my music th ... read more

I received my BS in civil engineering from a liberal arts university in Boston, MA ranked among the Top 30 universities in the nation, according to US News. My well-rounded education gave me the skills to communicate mathematical ideas and science concepts to any audience, including children. Now I am pursuing a masters degree in secondary math education in hopes of engaging and inspiring students to gain a better understanding of mathematics, and thus build their overall self-confidence. As an engineering student, I had experience empowering students by leading and working at science camps and tutoring at local elementary schools through a literacy corps.
I take a creative approach to learning and cater to each student's unique learning style. I assess their knowledge base, and I make learning fun by explaining and developing ideas in a way they prefer and in a way they best learn ... read more
