In tutoring any of the traditional subjects (Latin, Greek, formal/informal logic, rhetoric, critical thinking), I emphasize the objectives common to them all: (1) acquisition of context-specific vocabulary, (2) a feel for the flexibility and polysemy of a given word's lexical-semantic meaning, (3) a comprehension of the text's thematic, stylistic, and evaluative undertones and progression. The three, taken together, require us to formulate arguments by sifting through material, with an eye to analysis on how texts are crafted for presentation in terms of form and content. The result is an understanding on how these three are essential for reading, arguing, and, ultimately, thinking critically. Subjects Tutored: Besides the aforementioned subjects, I also tutor for calculus and chemistry.

I like to use the hands on approach. I find out what the weaknesses are of my students and address the topics by giving a general review. I present a problem for them to work out. After a few minutes, I ask them what they think is the best way to approach the problem. If they cannot come up with one, I then guide them through the appropriate thinking pattern in order for them to solve the problem. For me repetition of different related problems is the key to success.

I am a very patient person and always try to find ways that make it easy for a student to learn. I usually try to relate what they are learning to something that interests them. I also like to give students many examples of the types of problems they are trying to solve so that they feel confident when it comes to exam time.
I have earned a BS in Civil Engineering and am currently in the process of applying to graduate school. I am very confident tutoring Math and Science. Throughout high school I tutored middle school students and also prepared high school students for their regents examinations. I also tutored Calculus while I was in college.

As a teacher I believe it is important to communicate high expectations for the success of all students, regardless of age, race or socio-economic background. I believe all students can succeed. It is often a challenge to ensure that the classroom climate and curriculum is supportive and responsive to all students. No matter what the subject, students should be provided with an academically challenging curriculum that includes attention to the development of higher level cognitive skills. I encourage students to share attitudes, concerns and aspirations. If students have their own views challenged, it encourages the critical thinking and reflective judgment that will serve them well throughout life.

A Little Bit About Me...

I relate well to young adults, treating them with respect and autonomy in making positive choices for themselves. Each individual has unique learning potential and motivation. Tailoring a tutoring program to the individual in order to maximize learning is essential to success. Teenagers are smart, funny, energetic and have a dynamic view of the world. Channeling some of that energy into academics, especially the sciences, is very rewarding.
My credentials and experience appear to be a good fit for the position. I have a Master's in Health Services Administration, A Bachelor's in Behavioral Sciences/Psychology and an AS degree in Nursing. As a licensed Registered Nurse I have extensive clinical/science experience and also have strong computer skills that were utilized during my most recent position at Cision, a marketing and public relations research firm, which I held for over ten ... read more

My desire to commence my journey as an educator has been insatiable throughout my college career. I have received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Mathematics and Psychology this past December. I have also received high scores on the LAST, ATS-W, and the multi-subject CST exams. Moreover, in the past four years, I have been able to instruct individuals of all ages within the subjects that they struggled with. In the past, I have primarily tutored Calculus I, Calculus II, Calculus III, for these are usually difficult subjects for students to master. However, I am not limited to this discipline, for I have also tutored students in psychology, english, science, and social studies.

I am a recent college graduate who is very focused and motivated. I completed my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and graduated early. While being in school I was enrolled full time taking five classes a semester, along with working full time. I have great time management skills, and I am a great teacher. With my studies I have become a better writer with all the research paper I did for psychological experiments, along with having a better understanding with math and statistics. I was a tutor working at Newtown Youth Services for four years with Middle School aged children in an after school program. I really enjoyed the experience, and believe that I have gained more experience sense then which would benefit many people that I would work with. I am a great listener, and understand that different people have different learning styles and abilities. Overall I feel I would be a great tutor. ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I view teaching as successful transference of knowledge. I have a profound respect for teachers that teach for the love of it. After I completed my Bachelors degree, I taught for 2 weeks at a High School in Barbados that catered to students with special education needs. Though it was a short period of time, I enjoyed developing different techniques to engage the unique needs of each child. I prefer interactive methods of teaching as I believe that children learn more when they feel a part of the learning process. The students that I taught appreciated my caring and patient approach. Patience is key when tutoring because pressure only inhibits learning potential. I receive great joy from the expression on a child’s face when they have finally understood a concept. Then and only then do I smile with great pride of having been able to accomplish successful transference of knowledge. ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is a combination of serious, in-depth theory and practical examples to demonstrate such theories, all with a hint of humor, followed by significant practice of the newly learned skills. I've been "teaching" people all of my business career. I always start with the underlying theory and immediately segue into a practical example of how the principles work. I think students want to learn, but need the information presented in a way that makes learning interesting, not boring. I have that ability. I'm able to integrate relevant practical examples because I have a very broad range of experience, having been an entrepreneur and turnaround management consultant for over 40 years.
