I have over of 30 years of progressive experience in tutoring young children in the elementary years of education in all subject matter areas. My specialty is literacy and reading, but I am also adept in teaching all of the math curricula as well. I also firmly believe that teaching organizational skills and proper research methodologies are very important for the classroom today--and every child needs these skills in order to excel in the classroom and survive. I am also a qualified art teacher in the NOVA area. I believe in tutoring so that the child receives feedback and fully understands his/her own limitations and how to overcome obstacles in class. Many children lack positivity in the methodology! I also believe that using art instruction helps children to learn in a more creative manner.

I usually start with a diagnostic test to concentrate on weaker areas then come up with a weekly plan focusing on those areas. After a lesson, I usually give worksheets and sometimes online exercises, depending on the subject, and use videos and games if applicable. I have tutored and mentored students for more than five years in Algebra I & II, Trigonometry, Physics, Chemistry, English and ESL. I have a degree in Psychology and a certificate in TEFL. I believe tutoring is a really helpful and useful addition to class and studying by oneself because it is reviewing class material once again and it is a way for students to be accountable to yet another person who knows the answers to their questions and can help them work to that answer as well.

As a French native and a resident of the United States, I developed a profound interest in foreign languages and teaching French. My degree in Computer Science, mathematics and my subsequent experience in the field in France and Quebec, Canada enabled me develop my critical thinking abilities and writing research papers during my studies helped me with my grammatical skills. Since 2004 I have taught French (speaking, listening comprehension and reading comprehension as well as grammar) to individuals at different levels. My others specialities are Physics and biology. A dedicated, organized and professional yet flexible educator with several years experience in teaching French, I believe that motivating students is the most important factor for the teaching/learning experience. My experience tells me that if students are not actively participating in class, they are not learning. Theref

Having a B.S. in Microbiology from University of Maryland and having completed 2 years of medical school gives me a strong background in the sciences. For the past 7 years I worked for Certified Learning Center and had great experiences tutoring students of different backgrounds. Although science is my specialty, I have tutored students ages 7-22 in various subjects such as math, science, English, reading, and history. Having been in school for 6 years post high school has taught me a lot about the educational system and the means to success. A proper education is very crucial in order to prevent a student from being misinformed and misguided. To prevent that, I help my students to be self-motivated and more aware of local and global events through newspapers. I believe everyone is different based on their backgrounds, therefore, they must be taught HOW to learn effectively. This i

Through personal and professional experience, I have come to believe that fluency is most quickly achieved through immersion in a language (and instruction in only that language). However, accuracy can be developed and maintained more consistently when a student is able to compare his or her native tongue to the one which he or she is studying - as long as the student has a good understanding of the grammar and other basics of the native language. As a result, I believe in that constant exposure to a language, coupled with conceptual comparison to the native tongue, will foster the best combination of fluency and accuracy. I also believe that appreciation of the cultural and historical elements of a foreign language will encourage students in their studies and help them maintain enthusiasm when they meet a challenge. While studying Spanish at Messiah College, I completed my major cour

To be an effective instructor, it is necessary to have a perfect environment; one that allows for interaction and collaboration between students and their instructor. Hence I believe that teaching should be comprised of two complementary elements: knowledge of content and ability to transfer this knowledge to a group of people. Knowing the subject is not enough, one has to be able to develop excellent communication skills that will allow you to pass on your knowledge to a diverse group of people. It is also important that when the fundamentals of the subject are presented, real world examples follow. From this, students can experience a practical application of the learning process. I encourage students to ask questions. I do so by doing my best to motivate my students. Motivation when achieved can get a poor student to become excellent! I have always loved teaching.

Most of my teaching experience is from one to one tutoring. I have tutored over 20 students and always received compliments regarding my reliability, punctuality, style and patience. I have tutored for students with ages raging from 14 to 25 years old and included algebra, geometry, calculus, physics, etc. I worked as an 8th grade math teacher for a Catholic School as well. I lectured algebra and geometry to 3 different groups of 50 to 55 students. My one to one teaching style is tailored to adapt to the students learning style. However, my experience shows that keeping the student active during the learning process promotes a better learning. I use Microsoft Excel during my lessons. I create formulas, graphs, etc. and the Excel spreadsheet and ask the student to enter the data so that he/she can see how things change with different entries. This interactive process increased the stu

During lessons, I am patient, calm, well-spoken, but challenging. I continually ask my students questions and make sure the focus stays on them and their learning rather than myself. I find that the discovery approach works well in my classes and students are always willing to participate in fun games and other activities that allow them to find the answer on their own. The best teacher is one that is always willing to learn and wants to help the individual become a well-rounded person, not just someone who can always give the correct answer. Paulo Freire, the late Brazilian Sociologist, was not only one of the greatest thinkers of the century, but also a humble educator. He believed that there should be no set boundaries between student and teacher because all people have something to contribute. He also believed that one's education should be rooted in the one's reality. Thus a "stu

I first decided to teach students to occupy my time but I then discovered what it feels like to help younger students overcome their academic difficulties. I believe that each child is capable to achieve a minimum of education level, sometimes all what it takes is a little bit of motivation and confidence that he or she needs to move forward and I think it's something that tutors can help students figure out and acquire. I consider myself having an outcome commitment with my students. My goal is to communicate what I have learnt. During my high school years I already had a particular interest in Accounting classes. In fact the high school diploma that I earned was in Accounting and Financial Management. When I reached the college level I decided to major in Economics, which was the broader continuation of my field in High School, this enabled me to gain some understanding in unknown area
