Using one's strengths is the key to overcoming any weakness.

Is it difficult to maintain focus while studying? Do you need additional, individualized time to master a concept? Does frustration, anxiety, embarrassment, or hopelessness ever get in the way of you achieving your personal best? If so, I would like to help you achieve your best. Everyone deserves to feel proud and confident about their hard work, and every person can thrive from learning if they have the right tools to help them along. Thanks to my graduate training in clinical psychology, I have the unique ability to coach kids in emotion management, motivation, self-esteem, creative problem solving, and organization while strengthening their academic skills. The best students aren't just "good" students... they are happy, motivated, and confident students. I have a warm, friendly, and energetic personality that earns rapport with highly active, social kids as well as quieter, s ... read more

While living in San Antonio, Texas, I served my students as an adjunct instructor of American History at St. Mary’s University and San Antonio College. In 2006 I began facilitating courses online for Axia College of University of Phoenix and Excelsior College. While at Axia I instructed several different writing courses including Effective Persuasive Writing, Effective Essay Writing, Research Writing, and Written Communication. I can say with confidence that students at all of the institutions that I’ve had the privilege of working for benefitted from my knowledge and experience, and that same level of professionalism will be brought to yourself or your child.
From my many years of experience I have learned that the most important aspect of teaching style is to stay in contact with each student. Educational psychologists have demonstrated that students of all ages have an inheren ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Inspiring young people is what I do best. However, different methods are to be used for different individuals. Some students require a more incremental approach, covering material at a slower pace or more than once. Other students learn quicker and get frustrated if things are repeated. My job is to adapt to the particular individual and use the method that facilitates best learning. A generic approach that I always use is systemic: (1) provide or cover an overview of a particular topic and (2) dive deep into the details or substance of the material. I believe it is important for students to conceptually understand the substance of the material along with seeing what role the concepts play from a larger perspective. In the end however, students are ultimately responsible for how successful they are. I, as a tutor, am just a facilitator––making “inspiration” the most important goa ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe in ensuring anyone I am teaching understands the concepts behind what they are learning. It is important that the student is able to identify with the material and be able to relate it to relevant information. I think it is important for a student to learn in an environment where they are not afraid to ask questions in order to develop their own skills.
As a graduate of an Ivy League University with a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics, I have a strong passion for the analysis and development of mathematical equations. I am an extremely patient person and am eager to share my knowledge with others. I would like to be able to offer students of this day skills and mentoring that were not offered to me when I was developing my own skills.

When I taught sailing to young kids, I used to dress up like a pirate. I have lots of energy. I know I'm doing my job right when kids start laughing. When I taught to teenagers, I kept in mind my own experiences at that age. If I'm helping a student study hard on that big, important test that might have the ability to crush the student's soul - I bust out my acoustic guitar and sing about how It's The End of The World As We Know It (And This Test Means Very Little In The Long Run).
I recently graduated cum laude from the University of Rhode Island with two Bachelors of Science in Marine Geology and Maritime Law. I teach sailing and environmental education in the summers. This means very little however as I aspire, one day, to become a lighthouse keeper. Sadly, few can find such a position these days. I enjoy writing, science, mathematics, literature and most all musi ... read more

I am a patient teacher, and I use many different ways of communication. I try to find the style of learning best suited to my pupil. Removing the fear of the subject seems to be the most important part. I go through many many examples, until I feel that the student, and more importantly, the student has a feeling of confidence and mastery.
I have taken math for 4 years in college. It is a subject that I very much enjoy-so much that all of my sons are also strong in mathematics. My oldest is a national merit scholar finalist, and my youngest son is captain of his high school math team. Math is fun, like a puzzle-once the student sees this fact, they begin having more fun and less fear of the subject.

As a wildlife biologist for 15 years, I spent a good portion of my career giving presentations to a wide variety of audiences and educating people one-on-one about environmental issues. I have both Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees. I recently underwent a program through the Department of Higher Education to become certified to teach 7-12th grade science. I student taught 9th and 10th grade and have been substitute teaching at all grade levels. Because of my education and career, I am knowledgeable in many math subjects, biology, physical science, grammar, reading, and botany.
Every child has his/her own learning style. I think it is important to first determine how each child best learns – either visual, auditory, or tactile. I can then tailor my instruction to the needs of each student. In general, I believe that people learn best by ‘doing’. I believe th ... read more

I worked as a resident assistant while I was in college and tutored several students in math. I am especially competent in the subject as I have received a minor mathematics. I've also have had the experience of providing to some of my colleges while I studied to become and engineer.
My teaching style is rooted in several things. Firstly, I strongly believe in breaking down concepts and ideas such that they are easily digestible. This not only makes things easier to comprehend but also can give the student a different perspective on a topic and lead them to understanding. Secondly, I feel that a positive attitude helps with no matter what you do, especially when teaching. A great attitude can rub off on at pupil and help them build confidence, something that is key in becoming successful in anything, let alone academics. Finally, I believe that the mind is much like muscle a ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Friends and colleagues often tell me that I should have been a teacher instead of an entrepreneur based on my clarity of expression and passion for instructing. I instinctively augment my spoken word with drawings, gestures or other “reference systems” to help learners grasp the necessary background and repeat processes on their own. I prefer incremental check-ins to make sure students understand intermediate steps and apply theoretical concepts to real life situations whenever possible. Most of all, I have boundless enthusiasm for these topics which further engages my students in the process of learning.
Though my educational background tells of a ‘numbers’ background (economics, MBA), I consider myself a strong communicator and leader, too. I was fortunate to attend a leading high school, which gave me the foundations to excel at Colby College (undergraduate, magna cum laude) ... read more

Training as a Basic/ESL tutor,I gained ability to handle learning “crisis”, and developed a teaching style beginning with an assessment. Including phonetics of word composition from lessons from ESL workbooks,and my education, allowed instruction on vowel and consonant blends. I drafted a guide containing examples and sentence structure. A list of vowels/consonant blends with samples indicates pronounciation. Studying Acronyms proved beneficial. Student states: “I enjoy reading now; I understand”; proves starting off at a level to determine students's strengths/weaknesses provided building blocks to success. Student reads a chapter a session; creating a list of words improves vocabulary.

I find working with students to learn thrilling. In order for students to be life long learners they need to learn how to teach themselves. I help the student stay motivated and positive about the learning experience and the subjects they are studying. My students learn confidence in themselves and there learning style. Each student has a different learning style with positives and weaknesses. I work to improve the weaknesses and grow the positives. All students have untapped potential and I work with them to grow that potential into life skills.
As an undergrad I took a wide array of classes. THis includes political science classes, biology classes, music classes, history classes and photography classes.
