I am a strategic based teacher that enhances my students learning through finding their own particular learning style. Each student has and individualized learning approach to their studies. Once they find what works for them, they will succeed. It is my job as an educator to help them find that out. I like to use a multi modality approach so that students learn all different types of learning styles, this way they may pick and choose certain styles that work for them. For example, If the students are writing about a short story they have read, to help them get their thoughts on to paper, I would assist them with graphic organizers to prompt them to list of jot down vocabulary words or important people places or things in the story however, in a manner that helps them to do this with a proper beginning, middle and end. All of this is visually designed on the graphic organizer to help the

My goal is to provide the best education for your child. I feel all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. I

My philosophy of tutoring is (1) Tutoring with a method of enlightenment: a chemistry textbook is full of symbols, equations, concepts etc. (2) Open two-way communication: this is based on a mutual understanding and respect for all students irrespective of their grades. Teaching and learning is a dual direction process. I always create a climate during tutoring to translate my teaching enthusiasm into students’ enthusiasm to learn. All these contribute to a successful tutoring. Being as a teaching assistant, lab instructor is an important training in my graduate study until I obtained PhD of Chemistry. After graduation, I tutored undergraduate students for their chemistry classes. Tutoring is an efficient way to improve students' understanding and mastering chemistry knowledge. Tutoring is not just a repeat what have been taught in lecture, it is to improve capability of solving problems

I believe that all children learn best when they experience success. Therefore, I make sure to give all my students opportunities to succeed by asking questions that challenge students to think but are not impossible to answer. My teaching style involves a combination of constructivism and direct instruction. Instead of lecturing, I pose questions, calling on students randomly. When I restate what is correct about a student's answer, my students understand that they have successfully contributed to the learning process. I point out any misconceptions that might arise before they do, so my students avoid making common mistakes. I supplement my lessons with visual representations and videos for visual learners, as well as hands-on, inquiry-based activities for tactile learners. I have extensive experience using technology in the classroom and have designed many interesting laborator

I am currently a graduate student in Medical Sciences at Boston University. I have taken many biology and chemistry courses during my studies, and I feel comfortable tutoring: molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry, general/organic chemistry, and general biology. In addition, I have also taken the entire lower division math sequence for engineers, so I am able to teach elementary math up through calculus except for geometry. In addition, I am able to teach statistics and elementary physics as well. I have 1 year of experience tutoring high school students in an after school program in Oakland, CA.I have also tutored students from elementary up through the high school level. I enjoy seeing the "A ha" moment that students get when a concept becomes clear to them. I am not a big fan of memorization and have encouraged students to not only understand the concepts, but to also link the

I worked also with Après la classe (“after classroom”) – 16, rue Commines BP 3003 75121 Paris Cedex 3 – as a tutor from November 1999 to January 2000 and had three pupils: a little girl of 6 years old; we did a lot of reading, a teenager of 13 years old (her sister); we repeated her History and a student of 20 years old that was studying to be a midwife and had bad marks in French literature: I tried to make her love to read but I think that today, I would do better: I would give her some “tricks” to succeed: how to read a text, what “turns” to look for, how to call them (those parts), what for, what do they support, and so on... If a child, an adult or a teenager doesn't like you, it will be difficult (impossible?) to have him (her) learn from you. Unless you are very strong and I am "nice": I don't like to be rude. So I would need to be appreciated in order to teach. That is why I focu

I enjoy working with kids of all ages very much. As my summer job, I teach children from ages 4 to 21 how to play tennis. This has helped make me the person I am today in many ways.

As a member of the Wellesley community and past student at St. Sebastians school, I have learned to achieve at an extremely high level of education. My teachers have showed me how to succeed in school and strive for the best. I have been extremely interested in Music and the arts for many years now.

Overseeing recent high school graduates’ transformation into college students has been a gratifying experience. I take a hands-on approach using in-depth discussion, analysis, in-class exercises, peer review, and revision. As a teacher my role is both to instruct about accepted concepts and methods for reading and writing and to act as a resource to help students improve their skills. Prompting them with questions and encouraging them to keep refining their work, I witness their realization that what I am asking them to do is not impossible. I give my students the tools they will need to succeed throughout school and beyond. For the past three years, I have been working as a senior lecturer in freshman composition at Suffolk University. In addition to my teaching experience, I also volunteer regularly with 826Boston, a non-profit tutoring and writing center in Roxbury, MA. From week to

I enjoy being a part of any child's learning experience. I understand the individuality of each child and strive to respond to them as such. This means I try to grasp each student's learning style and adjust my teaching approach accordingly. I strive to create a positive learning environment, focusing on the child's strengths as well as their weaknesses. I believe all individuals learn best when the experience is enjoyable, so when possible, I like to relate the subject matter to the student's interests. I do whatever I can to set each student up for success in all areas. Education has always been a very important part of my life. Upon graduating high school, I went directly to college at Eastern Michigan University. I earned my BS in Psychology in four years, working as an assistant preschool teacher for one and a half years during that time. After graduating, I worked as a special

MI also have experience working with students on application essays for undergraduate and graduate school admissions, the Peace Corps, Junior Year Abroad programs, scholarships, and artist grants. Whether I am helping a student with prioritizing assignments, studying for tests, teaching study skills, or guiding him or her process of writing papers, I strive to promote metacognitive awareness throughout the tutoring experience.
