I have worked with children and families within the social work field. I have facilitated training classes for adults as well as went to school with children to help them with their school work.

I love to work with children and like seeing them succeed I believe all adults and children are different and various teaching styles work for some, while not others.

For the past two years, I have been teaching journal-writing and college classes at the Louisville Comprehensive Care MS Center. Prior to that, I have tutored students ages 7-40 in a various set of topics, primarily math and business subjects. My preferred style of teaching is student-lead. I believe in the Socratic method, but appreciate following a curriculum, as well. I volunteer at a Montessori school and I know that getting learners of all ages interested and excited about a topic is the key to retention.

I believe that all children can be successful academically with the right encouragement and guidance. I believe in showing students the correct way to do the task at hand, and them coaching to explore the materials themselves. I believe that given the right tools and foundation even a academically unsuccessful student can excel. During the pursuit of my degrees I worked tirelessly to excel. While in school I volunteered as a tutor for the local Boys and Girls Club. I tutored middle school and high school students in literature, math, science and history. Due to my degree in Library Science I have extensive knowledge in writing term papers and research methods.

It is in my character to be a natural care giver. I enjoy helping others. I am competitive. I am deternimed to succeed and help the success of others. I am very patient and do not mind being repetitive if necessary. I am good at detailed expanations and very sensitive on whether or not the student actually understands the concept. Depending on the students learning type I use different teaching strategies and various lesson plans, according to the level of concentration, comprehension skills, and motivation. As a first generation immigrant, I have sharply experienced just how important proper communication skills are. Language, spoken and written are one of the most important parts of building those skills for young people, for success in both carreer and social life. I strongly believe that my own experience with constant learning and improving my language abilities helps me in better u

I have formal education experience as a science teacher in both the middle school setting (2 years), and the high school setting (1 year). I also have 3 years of informal education experience that will help me connect with students. I worked as a science educator for three years at the Louisville Science Center, creating labs and demos on every science subject. Additionally, I have been a coach for 12 years, giving me the ability to motivate and break things down. My biggest attribute as a tutor will be my ability to “think outside the box”. I feel I have a knack for understanding how to reach individuals, and am very creative when trying to teach! I really believe learning science is meant to be an experience, not just an exercise in memorization. I like to teach things with hands-on activities and field experiences. I feel like this helps the student internalize things more effe

My experience as a tutor started when I was in high school teaching English as a second language to French and Creole speaking students. I also tutored freshman students on courses related to my major when I was in college. In recent years, I have tutored elementary, middle school, high school, and college students in English, French, Creole, sciences, mathematics, and religious studies. I am passionate about tutoring because of my passion on seeing every student be given the opportunity to excel to their full potential. Tutoring offered the unique opportunity of finding what works best for each student when it comes to studying a specific subject. Every student learns differently and as a tutor my first goal has always been to help the student find what his or her strengths are and used them to achieve his or her goals. I love tutoring young children, teenagers, and adults. Since the ex

I am very passionate about learning and working to provide learning experiences for others. I have a strong belief for holding high expectations for all children. I believe in creating positive learning experiences through engaging activities, and I believe in teaching in a way that will address a variety of learning styles. I believe in a literacy rich environment as that is the key to successful learning. I recently received my certification in Elementary Education and I am currently teaching primary for Jefferson County Public Schools. I have alot of experience teaching reading as I worked as a literacy lab instructor for two years prior to teaching working with children grades K-2. I have much experience working with children in areas of phonics instruction, vocabulary, comprehension, fluency and writing.

My goal with your child is not merely to transfer information but to cultivate a love for learning and a passion for excellence. I enjoy thinking through creative ways to teach ordinary subjects that can help a student enjoy the learning process. Knowing that each student is unique, I seek to explain concepts in a variety of ways until it “clicks” for each person. I also believe that practice is the mother of learning, whether on the basketball court or in the classroom. I would want your student to practice the needed skill until he/she is confident with it. I know from experience the profound influence that a teacher can have on a student both as a role model and academically. I hope to provide both of these for your child. Graduating from Northwestern University, I know what it takes to succeed in the classroom. I received two degrees in math and economics, giving me a strong foundati

I am simply a teacher at heart. I believe it is important that the teacher really cares about the individual for learning to take place. I like to win my students with fun and games and with special one on one attention that makes them feel important and capable of succeeding. During the first meetings, I like to start them reading from children’s magazines where I let them choose the story or feature. Then, we move into my reading-strategies based style with grade appropriate award winning fiction and nonfiction. My teaching of children began in 2004, when I taught a Sunday school class to 5-year-olds at my church. Then in 2005, I assisted with teaching the local children at a small mission church. During the 2006 through 2008 school years I subbed in mostly elementary schools, but I also subbed in some middle and high schools. Since 2007, I have been tutoring Jefferson County Public Sc

With experience and training in psychology and evaluation, I bring a unique approach to working with each child as an individual, quickly assessing learning style, making the most of strengths while coaxing the gradual improvement of what is more challenging. One thing I've learned is that all of us love doing what we are good at and success breeds more success so working with that success, tapping into your child's perception of self as learning, productive, and accomplishing whatever goals they set for themselves. Success breeds success and a good teacher creates an environment that begins at a nexus of challenge sufficient to excite and entertain while also possible. I believe that positive reinforcement is effective and discouragement can be avoided. My experiences are extensive both academically and in real world applications which serve to bring what students learn and study to lif

I like to teach all age levels. I try to teach in a way that allows them to learn best. Every student has their own way of learning, some are more visual while others are more text driven. I feel that educators play an important role in helping students figure out how to learn best and motivate them to want to continue learning more. I am very patient and understanding, which are also key elements for a child to feel comfortable to learn. I have always had a love for science, which prompted me to pursue a BS in biology and MS in microbiology. While doing so, I was able to acquire experience instructing biology labs for undergraduate students. After graduate school, I gained a stronger understanding of science while working in clinical and research microbiology labs.

I love being able to help someone reach that 'light bulb' moment of understanding a concept. Making a connection for the learner is imperative. I have a collaborative, interactive style. I tend to use visuals to help illustrate the point. I ask questions to make sure my analogies and metaphors are meaningful and help the learner. I find it useful to aid textbook material with a description of a process, a way of committing something to memory, or descpriton of how to grasp a concept as akin to a common experience/moment we have all had. I work to find a touchstone to help imbed a concept and build the learning process. I find great joy in learning, myself, and like to use creativity in bringing a concept to life. I work as a Clinical Research Analyst. My vocational background is entirely in the healthcare industry, with particular education and practial knowledge in anatomy, physiology,
