More About This Tutor...

I have taught elementary school in private and public settings, in both New York City and Florida. I taught high school English and Global Studies in New York city. I have worked as a tutor in general subjects for elementary students, as well as for Reading, Language, and Biology for high school anc dollege students. I have also helped prepare adult students for the TABE, GED, and similar tests.
I prefer to teach in a hands on fashion, but the most important aspect of my style is to adjust my methods to meet the needs of the student. I incorporate study and test taking skills into most tutoring sessions and specialize in tips and tricks for areas of difficulty.

English ESOL is one of my top subjects! For 3 years I have offered Chinese international students my services to help them gain a better understanding of American culture and the English language. As a Mandarin Chinese speaker, I am uniquely qualified to make the transition from China to an American campus as easy as possible. For those three years my goal has been to make certain that the students I tutor are in the best position possible to make the most of their American education.

Prior to serving in the United States Army, I was a successful entrepreneur in NJ. In 2003, I was recruited and after serving I returned to train troops at the Infantry Training Brigade at Fort Benning, GA. After returning home, I began working at a financial firm and became a licensed Investment Advisor and Asset Manager. I ran the Manasquan Edward Jones branch office until deciding to return to school. I studied Political Science at the University of Florida completing their International Relations program Cum Laude. Studies in International Relations focused on the international global economy, international agencies, national security, international political theory, and other aspects of public policy. I received minors in History and Chinese Language & Business Culture. While studying the Chinese Mandarin language, I became an asset to my Chinese counterparts (and visa versa) to gai ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Hello everyone. I am an international student from China, and currently I am a PhD student in University of Florida. As a native Chinese, I attended the best secondary schools and that I speak standard, tactful Chinese. I have been studying and living in the US for more than 4 years, which makes me a fluent English speaker to easily communicate with. I started tutoring Chinese in 2011 when I was volunteering for the university language service center in University of Wisconsin. During my study in Stony Brook University, I also tutored several ESL students to help them get through the cultural and language barrier upon their arrival in the US. I enjoy teaching and making connections between languages. I'm also good with children.

My name is Wenjing Luo, a 24-year-old girl who is from China. I am fluent in English and Chinese. I have been living in the U.S. for three years. I first came to the U.S. to participate in a cultural exchange program when I was a freshman in college. It was at that time that I developed my interest of exploring another country with completely different culture from mine. After I graduated from college, I came back to the U.S. and got my Master of Education Degree at Vanderbilt University. During my two years of graduate study at Vanderbilt, I actively participated in lots of volunteering and intern opportunities in K-12 school settings. I worked with kindergarten, 3rd, 4th, 7th, and high school students by engaging in some activities, such as guided-reading, math tutoring, and game playing. These experiences provided an area for me to apply what I had learned in school into real-lif ... read more

I love working with children. I believe that all children are capable of learning if they are given the opportunity. I believe that students learn best in a hands on engaging enviornment where they can put the skills they have learned to use. I feel that by providing an opportunity for a child to reach their full potential, and showing them the patience and encouragement they deserve, every child will succeed and lead the world into a brighter tomorrow.
As a youth I desired to become a teacher. I come from a long line of classroom teachers. My mother is a teacher, my grandfather was a professor at the University of Florida, and both great-grandmothers were educators as well. I have experience working with children since in high school where I worked summer camps, in college working with after school programs and tutoring those students, to graduating college and implementing teac ... read more

I like to make learning fun. I like to play educational games, and I believe when students are havig fun, they don't realize they are learning. I am firm but gentle and will work with them until they achieve the goal they set out to accomplish. I am a hardworker and determined. I care about any student I come in contact with and I care deeply about their education. My favoriote quote is.."Children are born with wings, teachers help them to fly."

When I can help other students understand a concept that was once very confusing for them, I feel very satisfied. I am very flexible in my teaching methods. Primarily, I like to understand the learning styles of my student so I know what will best work for them. I will do whatever it takes to make sure the student understands the concept and succeeds. I also like to encourage students by implementing different incentive programs; this will motivate them to continue working hard. I am extremely confident that I will be able to teach my students successfully in a fun and engaging manner.
Currently, I am a graduate student in the Counselor Education Department at the University of Florida.

I love teaching and being around children. Their vitality and energy is contagious. I believe they are truly our nation's future and we must nurture them. I believe each child has unique skills and capabilities and you must tap into these capabilities to assure the student learns well. Each child has a unique way of learning and every child is capable of succeeding with the right tools at hand. I am a very hands on teacher and believe that a child can most often learn best through discovering for themselves. I believe it is important to not only be concerned for the child's education but also for the child's feelings and personal life. You must gain a respect for the child and give them the respect you feel that you deserve yourself.

I have always had a passion for teaching/helping children discover the pleasure of learning. I enjoy very much working with different cultures/languages -it is a learning experience for me. I believe each individual has unique ways of learning and interests, so the lessons should be taylor for the individual.
I started preparing to teach when I came to the United States right after high school from a country with a language other than English by learning English; I then had the opportunity to attend college for a short while and then teach my own children -they were home-taught up to tenth grade. I worked as a teacher assistant for about six months and as a substitute teacher for about ten years. I work as a math remediation teacher for Maplewood Elementary and I worked as a tutor from September 2009 to June 2010 for children in the subjects of math and reading.

I begin my tutoring session by determining the area of Spanish or English Grammar in which the student shows the most difficulty. I ask my student to present a copy of his or her last exam. I engage the student in Spanish conversation at the appropriate level, and I examine his or her reading and writing ability in the language. In contrast to what I have observed from many careless and indifferent teachers even at the college level, I am strict, but very patient about proper pronunciation, asking the student to repeat the text after me, until he or she pronounces each word correctly. I derive great satisfaction seeing the results of my tutoring efforts.

I come from a family that gives education the first place. I have always earned good grades in school. I believe that all students can achieve the same. I understand that not everyone can perform similarly in a classroom setting because each student has his own learning style. While tutoring, I patiently take time to understand the student and adapt to his learning pace. I am creative while teaching and am concerned that at the end of a tutoring session my student acquires understanding of the material. I will create ways to facilitate the child's understanding and focus on a subject. I have always enjoyed helping people in general and have felt really gratified whenever I realize that I have contributed to a struggling student's progress.

I graudated from Oberlin College in 2005. My coursework included not only music instruction classes, but also general education courses. During my time at Oberlin I worked as an ESL tutor. After graduation I moved to the country of Ecuador to serve as a music and English teacher. After returning to the U.S. I was employed as a substitute teacher in Florida. I substituted in all education levels. In the fall of 2006 I will enter the University of Florida's Levin College of Law. I'm also the oldest of ten children, six of whom are adopted and have special needs. This personal experience has given me great insight into the lives of children with disabilities.

A Little Bit About Me...

Although my chosen field of study is history, my passion is for education and learning. While earning both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees, I have acquired an essential skill set for working in the academic world, which includes excellent writing, reading, and critical-thinking skills, in addition to a proficiency in Spanish acquired through years of classroom study and travel in Latin America. In addition to two years of teaching at the college level, I also have experience working one-on-one with individual students to help them develop their skills in writing and critical thinking.
I believe that good teaching, like quality learning, comes with hard work. Having had the chance to see students grow with time, I have learned that patience, respect, and having fun are the best ingredients for a productive and positive learning experience. Often times, having a positive mento ... read more
