A Little Bit About Me...

I have taught every grade level from Pre-Kindergarten to college in my 30 years in the schools of Connecticut, New York, and Maryland. I was an assistant principal for six years, have taught both academic classroom core subjects and dramatic arts, and have written curriculum for a great variety of settings. I love teaching mathematics and writing, because they are logical and marvelous as life-long tools. I believe the same for reading and literature. My formal training as a stage actor and radio announcer/dj allow me to use my voice as a valuable tool in communicating with students. I love teaching almost as much as I love learning!
Stylistically, I am a showman, a questioner, and possessed of a strong desire to reach every one of my students. I try to connect with each student on a friendly and comfortable level so that confidence-building is easy. It is important for me to find ... read more

I have almost 10 years of experience of teaching students for the SAT,GRE, and specific subjects, combined. It started during my freshman year (1999) at Wheaton College (Wheaton, IL). I tutored students through college in Biology, Chemistry and the SAT. Out of this experience, I instructed students for multiple semesters in a Biology Lab course. After I graduated from Wheaton (2003), I entered a doctoral (Ph.D.) program at Johns Hopkins Medical School to study Molecular Biology. During my time in Baltimore, I have tutored a wide range of students for the SAT with a company called StudySmart, and have also tutored students privately for the GRE at Loyola, Johns Hopkins and Goucher College. Having this experience of teaching has prepared me for a company like Advanced Learners, which is looking for committed, qualified, and experienced instructors. Being in a competitive academic en ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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. Therefore, I believe that students must be active learners. My job as an educator is to guide them in their learning process, to learn about their learning styles and teach them in a personalized manner to the extent possible, to entice their curiosity and interest to learn more. Furthermore, I insist on the memorization by repetition by using mnemonic tricks, flash cards, reviews.
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 ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have instructed beginning, intermediate, and advanced French and English language and literature to adults and children from diverse backgrounds. I am currently teaching French at Baltimore County Community College. I have also instructed French at Towson University and the Alliance Francaise in New York. In France I taught English at Maison Ritt Centre Culture in La Ciotat to children and adults. At La Chambre de Commerce de Moulins in Moulins I developed curriculum and designed and executed Business English seminars.
I always tailor lessons to students’ level and interests. For example if a student is interested in cooking I will talk about the cuisine of France and terms too use when talking about preparing meals. I like to use drama techniques to facilitate learning as it helps to the student to feel comfortable in situations they would encounter when they are traveling ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a currently a working civil engineer specializing in bridge design (steel and concrete structures). I received scores of 760 in Math on both the SAT I and II, and a score of 800 in Math on the GRE's. I have taken several high level calculus, engineering mathematics, and statistics classes at the University of Delaware, aside from receiving a 5 on both the Calculus and the Statistics AP Exams. I have tutored elementary students in the past, and was part of a 'teaching scientists' after school company briefly in college.
I believe in talking through problems using visual ideas and simplified concepts. I prefer teaching with graphics and concepts, and then relating them to formulas and equations. While I expect hard work from my students, I also have the patience to help them understand at their own pace.

A Little Bit About Me...

Enabling a student to percieve an idea or to help them solve a problem is my passion. Using thinking outside of the box methods, I open up a new way of percieving concepts. I love to teach based on hands on methods. I truly believe it's the best way to learn. Therefore, I try to incorporate this method through creative measures. Repitition is the father of learning and as such I also teach the student the best studying techniques that will continue to make the student successful after our meeting is completed
Throughout my educational career, I have always had a passion for teaching math and science. Knowledge of the subjuects come easy to me and I have been able to successfully convey the various concepts to other students and peers. I have a researcher background where I have developed my technical writing skills. I have taught and tutored environmental sciences, math, an ... read more

My teaching style is basically a belief that every student has the ability to be a great learner. My goal is to help them harness that ability. With my guidance they will be able to focus and achieve great success in education. With my patience and down to earth attitude students feel comfortable learning from me. I will not only be their teacher but also their friend. I will show them that their education is going to be useful for them later. I also like to show students that what they learn can be useful and practical.
I have tutored students since I was in high school at Baltimore Polytechnic Institute. I was in the honor club and one of the obligations of honor club membership is to tutor Poly students.

I think learing about your student is most important thing first and then teach them the way they learn quick, such as if they are visual learning or practical learner. that's what i do with my students, simply talk to them and ask what they think is the easy way to learn stuff for them and that's how I try to help them.
I believe that if you teach someone you truly expend your own knowledge simpling helping others. I love to teach people of all ages and i had pretty good experience. I used to teach at Anne Arundel Community College for couple of courses such as, accounting, arabic, and math. Then I stopped teaching because I didn't have much time to give to students because of my study. Now I have graduated with my Bachelor degree in Accounting and started teaching again, just to help students.

I graduated from Temple University with a B.S. degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education. I taught Preschool, Kindergarten and First Grade. My Early Childhood and Elementary Education Degree has afforded me the opportunity to teach various subject matters to children having a wide range of learning abilities. I find teaching to be both rewarding and gratifying when I see children grow socially and academically because of my efforts.
My initial approach is to ascertain exactly where the student stands prior to starting any course work. Students can be and are easily frustrated with work that is either beyond their ability or more advanced. Frustration can be either eliminated or reduced when students have a better understanding of their work. When teaching Math, my experiences have also taught me that younger students are very hands on and tend to absorb concepts quicke ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have worked in a wide range of business and educational settings and have worked with students from grade school to adult. When I earned my BS in English, with a thirty credit business minor, I already had fifteen years experience working in a family run retail store. I have since worked a range of jobs including teaching business, computer and English classes. I also worked as a computer systems installer, service manager and office manager. I bring to my teaching a wide range of experience combined with a strong understanding of my subject areas.
As a teacher I believe that students learn best by doing, so I plan my lessons to engage students with meaningful activities that are mastered with hands on activity rather than teacher lead discussion.
