A Little Bit About Me...

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 music.
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 ... read more

My experience in the field of tutoring is personal. I do not have formal previous experience with a formal institution that provides me with students to tutor- instead- my love and passion for reading, writing and literature in general has driven me to tutor friends and family concerning this subject matter. My BA from Wheaton College has given me the necessary background needed to be an influencial tutor in these (and other!) areas. I was just certified as a Yoga Teacher in June of 2010, and though this may seem unrelated, my passion for yoga has further sharpened my communication skills, also preparing me to suceed in this field.
As the oldest of five children I not only love children, but I have a life-time long experience with them. I have babysat for years in my spare time- I am great at communicating and connecting with children. The connection factor is what I believe to be ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I taught Spanish to undergraduate students at the University of Arizona for one year after college. I was a home educator for children from zero to three. I have taught and tutored elementary-aged students as an aide, literacy volunteer and day-care provider. I have taught English as a second language to adult learners. I currently volunteer as a garden educator with elementary-aged children.
I’m a nurturer, with a strong belief in the relational basis of learning. I strive to understand each student’s learning style and incorporate brain-based methods in my teaching. As a linguist, I was trained in the communicative approach, but still adhere to good, old-fashioned grammar and vocabulary work. I have a passion for literature and find it invaluable in teaching both native and foreign language.

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 that students should be able to ask questions or discuss relevant experiences during lessons – this kind of dialogue makes the instruction memorable and meaningful to students. The key to one-on-one instruction is patience and understanding of the child’s needs. Little in life is as rewarding as when a child says, ‘Oh, NOW I get it’.
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 underw ... read more

I believe that every student can learn with proper guidance and a positive attitude. First, I get to know my student and then I find out what difficulties they’re having i.e. the need to learn at a slower pace or distracted by sports or other things? Using those answers,I develop a program that makes learning interesting. I encourage student participation,praising the effort they make. I thank them for coming to the sessions and putting in their time and effort, making my students feel that the subject matter is important. It continues to motivate them to achieve greater results. I try to demonstrate to them that learning this material will matter in the future and that it is building blocks and not stumbling blocks to greater things.
I received a B. A. degree in French with a minor in English. I have tutored two ESL students, one from Mexico and the other from Turkey through Liter ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My work with elementary aged children has spanned a decade and included a highly diverse population of students. Because of this diversity among my students, I have a deep appreciation for every child's uniqueness. I excel at identifying each individual child's needs and developing a plan of instruction that addresses those needs while empowering each student and developing her or his confidence as a learner.
I have over ten years of experience in elementary education as both a classroom teacher and administrator of enrichment programs. My teaching experience includes a multiage classroom of kindergarten and first graders and a multiage classroom of second and third graders. During my time as a classroom teacher, I was recognized by the state of Connecticut for exemplary teaching practice. I am currently enrolled in Masters program for Children's Literature.

My experiences have taught me that a cookie-cutter teaching style is not suitable for every individual. My responsibility is to quickly identify the students weaknesses and turn them into their STRENGTH! I am a every interactive teacher. It is my strong belief that anyone can succeed with the proper motivation, reinforcement and tools. My tutoring style emphasizes the student as an active participant in the learning process. With an approach that is clear, reliable, friendly, and personal, I look forward to helping a student succeed in their academic career. I do not have one specific teaching style, but rather have several styles that I implement based on each students specific needs.
I understand that finding the right tutor can be confusing and time consuming. My specialty is to offer a customized experience to each student. I recently graduated 'Summa Cum Laude' fro ... read more

My love for reading and writing from a young age followed me through high school and college. By excelling in various courses, I had the opportunity to tutor a myriad of subjects in high school (particularly Science and Writing), and serve as a Writing Consultant at Bryant University since Freshman year. Outside of school, I have also assisted my friends and peers who have asked for my help in their individual writing assignments or projects. Having a diverse background in fields such as Finance, Accounting, and Cultural courses, as well as in languages such as Gujarati and Hindi, has given me the opportunity to share my knowledge and skills with others.
I have always felt the need and want to help others, whether educationally or socially. As an immigrant who had to learn a new educational system, language, and lifestyle, I know first-hand how difficult a true and successful lear ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a unique resume of teaching experience. I have worked in a number of settings from pre-school to teaching adults. I have taught in public schools, private schools, after school settings and in a foreign country. I believe that every person has their own learning style and it is important for me to understand my students' needs and goals in any learning environment. Most of my teaching experience is with Elementary students working in the core academic areas of Reading, Writing, Math, Science and the Arts. Over the years I have focused on literacy through teaching pre-school to teaching English as a foreign language.
My passion as a teacher is working with children. I have a passion for education that I hope to show through my teaching and share with all of my students. I believe every student learns differently and has strengths and weaknesses. My goal is to get to kn ... read more
