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

More About This Tutor...

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.
I taught a computer "cap-stone" class to graduating seniors part-time at the Katherine Gibbs school for 1 semester. There were approximately 14 Seniors in the class and we utilized all ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I went from the Boston Public Schools to Commonwealth School and then Wellesley College, and would have been lost, early on, without help from tutors. I majored in English and Russian and work with several communities for whom English is not their first language. I am also a freelance writer and editor and I help my children's friends with their college essays. I work as a substitute teacher with all levels and grades and teach everything but Science and Gym.
I am patient and approachable but insist on the value of completing assignments even if the student "hates" them. I am good at explaining how this will be important later, which turns around reluctant learners. I believe in explaining, showing, modelling, and then stepping back while the student tries, explains, and determines where the mistakes come up. I value resiliance, and bask in the joy of competence achieved through ef ... read more

I am warm, engaging and fun--I award stickers and other incentives for learning and achievement goals and I work closely with children and adults AT THEIR LEVEL to bring them to excel in the subjects that they are studying. I sometimes cross-reference different subjects to give a multi-dimensional approach to learning.

A Little Bit About Me...

I achieved a BA with the intent to teach in the Public School System, however, I soon found myself earning a living as a Musician playing with some top acts. I spent 10 years traveling the US, Puerto Rico, Antigua, Cuba, and Panama with the USO. I have learned varied musical styles and vocal techniques during this time. After returning from the "road" I opened my own Music Store, named Guitar Heaven, and continued to teach and repair Guitars and other Stringed Instruments.
I love teaching Guitar to all ages, but especially enjoy working with the children and beginning students, who can learn the theory and technique necessary to become excellent Musicians. The ability to gain and maintain a fun, learning environment, will make the student want to learn more and more each lesson! I have taught many students who became teachers and professional Musicians, enjoying successful car ... read more

I enjoy teaching and have learned that the best way to teach is to listen. I have great patience and find it a challenge to find"the" way to teach a particular student. I learned much of this from my Father who taught for 40 years at college level.
In my job I have been teaching my clients for 30 years. While I hold a BA in American Labor History, I have a deep knowledge base of Central Asian, Near East and Asian history obtained from business experience. While my clients have been adults I have tutored children on an informal basis when asked.

My undergraduate degree in English and a Juris Doctor degree was a foundation for my career in writing, editing and research in the financial communications field. I have learned about the importance of clarity, detail and accuracy in writing. As an editor, I was responsible for reviewing, proofing and suggesting changes to copy on a wide range of subjects. In addition, my early years as a Juvenile Probation officer has taught me about patience and sensitivity when working with the young. I have taught Business Law at the undergraduate level for several semesters. My coaching and assisting my two children during their school years is, I believe also relevant. My guidance has led them to achieve academic success in their undergraduate education.
I believe that it is most important to create a learning environment that allows a student to feel successful every step of the way. Many ... read more

I have tutored English, Spanish, ESL, and various other subjects in school homebound instruction programs and privately beginning in 1990. I have been referred by schools and agencies to tutor students on all levels, elementary through adult, and have excellent references.
