TOEFL is one of my top subjects! I have taken TOEFL test twice before coming to America and with the full scores in reading and listening in the last one. I also taught a high school class TOEFL and SAT Essay writing within a 84 hours course. My teaching focuses on both of improving test skills and English capability.

independent and specific, creative, precise and concise

More About This Tutor...

When I can help other students understand a concept that was once very confusing for them, I feel very satisfied. I am very flexible in my teaching methods. Primarily, I like to understand the learning styles of my student so I know what will best work for them. I will do whatever it takes to make sure the student understands the concept and succeeds. I also like to encourage students by implementing different incentive programs; this will motivate them to continue working hard. I am extremely confident that I will be able to teach my students successfully in a fun and engaging manner.

A Little Bit About Me...

Education is one of the best tools anyone could have to build a fulfilling life. It is my experience that students that require that extra boost through tutoring succeed when a role model that demonstrate the skills demanded for their grade level is demonstrated step by step. I emphasize on showing students how to work through a problem while giving support and encouragement when they attempt them. I encourage student participation during the lessons and assist them in developing skills that they could use to facilitate their learning when in the classroom.
I possess 10+ years of experience in the field of school psychology. My current dual Florida certification includes the instructor of Foreign Languages (K-12 Spanish) credential.

In terms of teaching style, I believe that different students require different teaching styles and techniques and I attempt to vary and utilize those based upon the specific needs of the student. As a more specific comment related to the teaching of Accounting/Finance, I believe that modeling Accounting techniques works best with the majority of students and that the adage "practice makes perfect" is particularly applicable in the Accounting arena. I have encountered the term "demonstrator/personal model" within the framework of teaching styles and I believe that is a good description of my style.
For most of my professional career, I was a senior financial administrator in the non-profit sector. After receiving my Doctorate in 2002, I moved from an Administrative position to a Faculty position at the University of Massachusetts. For the past 8 years, I have worked as a profes ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a teacher I will have a big part in shaping the lives of students. As a teacher I hope to make learning an exciting and interesting part of their lives. For students, their possibilities are endless and we have to make them aware that they can achieve anything. A teacher is not only responsible for giving a student skills in their particular content area, but skills they can carry on throughout their lives. Learning gives us the opportunity to better understand ourselves, our communities, and our world. I believe it is important to employ a variety of learning styles in a because students learn in different ways. I will teach to the needs of each student so that all learners can feel capable and successful.

A Little Bit About Me...

Every subject has its own teaching style, yet there are some consistencies throughout. I teach based on how the student learns. This may require adapting typical styles to meet the individual student's needs.  You or your child will benefit from my focus on repetition and consistency, yet at the same time my desire for a variety of learning techniques. I encourage every student to do his or her own best work before bringing it to me, then allow me to help enhance his or her work to help the student excel.  It is my firm belief that every student has the potential to excel with the right environment, style, and motivation. It is my goal to figure out what this is for you or your child and provide you the opportunity to do so.
In every subject I am qualified to tutor I have taken high school, college, graduate, and/or professional courses and earned at least a "B+" (91%), with ... read more
