In tutoring any of the traditional subjects (Latin, Greek, formal/informal logic, rhetoric, critical thinking), I emphasize the objectives common to them all: (1) acquisition of context-specific vocabulary, (2) a feel for the flexibility and polysemy of a given word's lexical-semantic meaning, (3) a comprehension of the text's thematic, stylistic, and evaluative undertones and progression. The three, taken together, require us to formulate arguments by sifting through material, with an eye to analysis on how texts are crafted for presentation in terms of form and content. The result is an understanding on how these three are essential for reading, arguing, and, ultimately, thinking critically. Subjects Tutored: Besides the aforementioned subjects, I also tutor for calculus and chemistry.

I like to use the hands on approach. I find out what the weaknesses are of my students and address the topics by giving a general review. I present a problem for them to work out. After a few minutes, I ask them what they think is the best way to approach the problem. If they cannot come up with one, I then guide them through the appropriate thinking pattern in order for them to solve the problem. For me repetition of different related problems is the key to success.
I elected to be a stay at home mom after a successful career. I wanted a flexible work schedule and thought about tutoring. I found that I loved tutoring students ranging from elementary to college level. I found much satisfaction in students' improved grades and the mastery of the subject that I was able to impart.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a very patient person and always try to find ways that make it easy for a student to learn. I usually try to relate what they are learning to something that interests them. I also like to give students many examples of the types of problems they are trying to solve so that they feel confident when it comes to exam time.
I have earned a BS in Civil Engineering and am currently in the process of applying to graduate school. I am very confident tutoring Math and Science. Throughout high school I tutored middle school students and also prepared high school students for their regents examinations. I also tutored Calculus while I was in college.

Start and end the session with a theme and establish rapport. I believe teaching is an art to achieve positive and enjoyable results. I consider my students as peers and try to entertain the teaching with humorous analogies/metaphors. I try to humanize while explaining the meanings to be aware of practical use. I avoid spoon feeding and try to get the answers from the student itself. Eventual ... read more

My desire to commence my journey as an educator has been insatiable throughout my college career. I have received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Mathematics and Psychology this past December. I have also received high scores on the LAST, ATS-W, and the multi-subject CST exams. Moreover, in the past four years, I have been able to instruct individuals of all ages within the subjects that they struggled with. In the past, I have primarily tutored Calculus I, Calculus II, Calculus III, for these are usually difficult subjects for students to master. However, I am not limited to this discipline, for I have also tutored students in psychology, english, science, and social studies.

My credentials and experience appear to be a good fit for the position. I have a Master's in Health Services Administration, A Bachelor's in Behavioral Sciences/Psychology and an AS degree in Nursing. As a licensed Registered Nurse I have extensive clinical/science experience and also have strong computer skills that were utilized during my most recent position at Cision, a marketing and public relations research firm, which I held for over ten years (30 hrs/week). Although I have not taught formally, teaching is integral in raising a family, nursing and precepting.

I view teaching as successful transference of knowledge. I have a profound respect for teachers that teach for the love of it. After I completed my Bachelors degree, I taught for 2 weeks at a High School in Barbados that catered to students with special education needs. Though it was a short period of time, I enjoyed developing different techniques to engage the unique needs of each child. I prefer interactive methods of teaching as I believe that children learn more when they feel a part of the learning process. The students that I taught appreciated my caring and patient approach. Patience is key when tutoring because pressure only inhibits learning potential. I receive great joy from the expression on a child’s face when they have finally understood a concept. Then and only then do I smile with great pride of having been able to accomplish successful transference of knowledge. ... read more

I love interacting, teaching, and talking to students. My pleasure comes from seeing the bright smile on a child's face when the confidently turn to me to let me know that they understand what I have taught them. I enjoy developing different strategies for a person to understand the material being learned based around their learning approach, whether they are visual or auditory learners. I like to find fun, simple methods to memorize material. I believe that various ways at understanding material make it quicker to master more information in the same amount of time. Extra help from me as a tutor can make a world of a difference as your child proceeds in his/her educational experience.

I really enjoy teaching because I enjoy seeing the progress with people as they excel in something they thought they would never be able to do. I like working with children because I can make learning fun and interesting to them. I have a lot of experience working with younger children in elementary school all the way up to young adolescents in high school. I have also been a mentor to freshmen in college. My teaching style is very eclectic. I understand that all people learn differently, and I am very open to adapting to the style that works best for them. Ultimately my main goal is to see people succeed and feel good about them selves. Teaching and tutoring comes very natural to me, because I have a lot of patients, and enjoy problem solving with a variety of people.

My teaching style involves lots of picture slides, index cards with diagrams, and training videos. It helps my students grasp the material much better than just by reading and listening to lectures. I use lot of words of encouragement rather than pint pointing their mistakes. I have also found that keeping the teaching style interactive produces better results and a fun environment, which the students look forward to.
