My comments on tutoring Entrance Exams : I am a College Professor (History, Philosophy, Ethics, English) with many years of tutoring experience. I have taught several test-preparation courses. I have helped many students to achieve well on standardized tests. I am patient and understanding. I have a math/science background and have been teaching basic skills (reading, writing, oral communication) for 30 years.

In my experience, the majority of students are highly motivated. This is, for me, the key to success. However, very often, students require assistance with a wide range of ‘remediation’ in many of life’s basic competencies: a skill set that includes such issues as time management, test taking, study habits, and, sometimes, acculturation. My teaching methodology follows these simple steps: Step 1: Motivation Step 2: Definition & Understanding of terms Step 3: Explanation, exploration, discussion, debate Step 4: Questions & Answers Step 5: Practice: Time & Effort Step 6: Demonstration (or proof) I absolutely believe that motivation is required for learning. I have found that students become more motivated to learn when they understand how they will profit from the experience. I teach ‘communication’ all the time, regardless of the subject matter. Throughout the course of ... read more

I have extensive experience with all types of writing skills: from poem writing, to letter writing, to business writing. My most recent work experience afforded me the opportunity to perfect my business correspondence. Additionally, I earned a perfect score on the written portion of the GMAT exam (business school entrance exam). I completed my MBA in Finance and Management at New York University. I wrote many business essays.
I love to share my knowledge and share my skills with others in a way to help them learn and grow. The way that I do this is by: 1) evaluate the child's skills, 2) acknowledge the child's skills and build his/her confidence as a stepping stone for future learning, 3) work to add to the ... read more

Hello, I graduated with a PhD. in analytical chemistry from the Department of Chemistry, University of Massachusetts in Amherst. My research work during my PhD career involved synthesis, purification, analysis and utilization of proteins and PEGylated proteins in bioanalytical experiments. These experimental studies resulted in several publications in scientific journals. In addition, I have considerable experience in training undergraduate chemistry students. Recently, I had the opportunity to tutor at Westfield State College as a visiting lecturer, where I thought a second year organic chemistry class together with a laboratory session associated with the class. I look forward to talking to you further about this position.
My philosophy of teaching is essentially helping students develop skills and insights in a supportive environment that they can use for a lifetime. For a ... read more

My teaching style is based upon where the student is in terms of their educational level. I work very hard at understanding the student's academic needs. Then I assist the student in improving their educational skills in the subject being studied. I always emphasize the fact that everyone is capable of learning and that mastering the language of any academic discipline is part of becoming proficient in it.
My educational background in the sciences [chemistry, medical biology, and medicine]. and music has enabled me to have a broad range of academic experiences. I specialize in instructional learning in the arts and sciences, specifically medicinal biology and music. Because I do scientific research and writing, I have skills related to the language arts as well as computer science.

Children as well as well as young adults learn fairly different. I attempt to learn the person i am working with and find their strength as well as weakness. I also give my clients various methods on how to study, memorize and get over exam anxiety as i had to learn what worked for me. So my teaching is contingent upon the individual i am working with.
I have a bachelor degree in biology from a private institution in New York Long Island University.I First began to teach with my father who is a GED instructor for the haitian community and i was a English instructor for his program. I went on to become a biology teacher for a urban school in philadelphia. I enjoy working with students and helping them to increase their ability in the area in which they struggle.

My greatest desire to is to work with others in a compassionate, empathetic manner. I believe that providing any assistance first begins with deeply listening and relating to the needs, concerns and hopes of another. Just as personalities and interests differ between individuals, learning styles can greatly vary. My goal as a tutor is to identify with each client and work together to achieve the best and most enjoyable lesson plan. I feel that I have succeeded when learning becomes a fun, interesting endeavor for both the student and tutor.
I have always been a lifelong learner, and I see tutoring as an extension of my desire to consistently review and engage with all academic material. The liberal arts education that I received at Scripps College set the standard to appreciate and learn a variety of subjects. I received two bachelor degrees, BA in Art History and BA in French ... read more

Simply put, I firmly believe that all children can learn and achieve at a high level. Student achievement correlates directly with expectation. Unfortunately, for many students expectations are low. High expectations lead to high achievements. As a teacher, it is my job to find ways to motivate my students to learn. This can be accomplished in many different ways. Differentiated instruction is the first step; students learn in differently and at their own pace. I need to be aware of this. Another way I keep students motivated is by changing the delivery of instruction; everyday, I do something different to deliver the material. I also try to make it relevant, so my students remain interested. These strategies and methods serve to make a positive impact on my students' lives.
Coming from a family of educators, I have always had a desire to teach and instruct. My areas ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a full time tutor and academic coach, I have spent 1000+ hours privately tutoring, holding classes and teaching middle and high school to understand the many learning styles needed to achieve success. I possess an BA in English and an MBA in Human Resources. After 30 years in Corporate America, I retired early and returned to teaching, tutoring and coaching.
I work with the student's strengths to ascertain their learning style and then apply these to the area needing improvement. No one style will work for every child. Therefore, I work independently with each child's style and work to make a marked improvement in their success.
