Read More About Celeste L...

In 1999-2000, I provided highly individualized, one-on-one instruction in the client's homes while working with a local tutoring company. I am an experienced educator and state certified instructor with impeccable credentials and a heartfelt enthusiasm for teaching. More recently, I have tutored adults participating in an Adult Literacy Program. I assisted them in their GED preparation in Math and helped them set and reach their short-term educational goals. More recently, I worked with incarcerated individuals preparing them for the GED test, improving their testing skills, and promoting a positive environment for learning. I am actively tutoring students in Pre-Algebra on a weekly basis.
Although instructors/tutors have a preferred teaching style, I will often mix in some elements of other styles. If I wish to take a more open approach to my teaching, I include a blend of various ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have extensive experience in psychology, creative writing, grammar, speaker training, leadership, English and English literature, philosophy, theology and ADHD. I have trained people in areas relating to the central nervous system, psychology, sales, public speaking and group facilitation and several other areas of anatomy and physiology. I have worked with students from middle school through college in a variety of settings. I have school board and school leadership team experience, so I understand the challenges of the educational system.

Experienced math tutor

I believe that all students can learn with a patient tutor. Many of my students find math frustrating but I have the ability to break all concepts down to the most basic elements and build from there. I also encourage questions and being comfortable asking questions to facilitate the learning experience. I have tutored math and history for years at all levels from middle school through college. I have a bachelors degree from UNC-Chapel Hill and a masters degree from Rutgers University. I find it very rewarding to teach students and help them overcome their academic challenges. Many students struggle with math due to bad teaching or fear. My success lies in getting to the root of the issue and building from there. A calculus professor once told me that the only way you learn math is by doing math. Therefore, I encourage lots of practice to ensure that concepts are being understood by ... read more

I am an experienced, caring tutor.

I have over 10 years of experience tutoring. I have tutored elementary to college students and even taught basic reading through Sylvan's Ace-It tutoring. I have extensive experience working one-on-one and also in groups. I was a Supplemental Instruction Leader all through my college years which allowed me to work with groups and instructors, creating sample tests and quizzes, and helping individuals with different learning styles. I have assisted others with learning Spanish, even when English was not the first language, and helped high school up to college students.
My teaching style is adaptable to the student.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love to teach. I have experience with 5-50 years old and, if pressed, could not name a favorite group. I believe that everyone can learn; some of us just process information in different ways. As a tutor it is my job to discover how a student processes information and adapt my lesson to accommodate them. Learning can be both fun and serious, as long as it is productive.
As part of my lifelong love of learning and teaching, I began tutoring when I was just fourteen years old. While in high school, I usually tutored math (mostly algebra, geometry, and trigonometry) and general science. Once I moved to college, I began to work with middle school as well as high school students again in mostly math and science. However, I have a BA in politics and history; therefore I am extremely confident in many liberal arts subjects. I have also earned an MBA which helped to hone my grammatical a ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have spent most of my career working with children who were unsuccessful in a traditional classroom. Discouraged and failing, many of my students had no recent memory of being successful. By showing them that they were capable learners, they regained their confidence and motivation. I used simple structured lessons to explain methods and concepts. I emphasized the relevance and meaning of all work, and allowed time for inquiry and discovery. Students were assessed only after thorough preparation. Strengths were emphasized; difficulties were embraced as a challenge. By creating opportunities for success, my students were willing to work through their struggles.
I have spent my 13 years as an educator in a variety of capacities. I spent four years as a tutor for an autistic child while I was in school. After receiving my bachelor’s degree in education, I worked for three ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a university-level professor, I understand that only about 20% of my students will prosper from a strictly lecture-style course. I have explored other means of learning with my students by encouraging them to read and interpret primary sources (sources written or objects used/produced by historical agents), discuss what they've learned in class, and conduct history investigations of their own. As a former museum professional, I am a strong believer in hands-on learning. In this respect, I encourage a student to own his/her learning, by constantly interacting with me and their fellow students as we attempt to better understand the material. I encourage my students to become better writers by holding "free-writes" in class, and going over how to structure an historical argument, and how to present evidence. I have worked with students of varying abilities, some of them with extreme dysl ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

From the start of my professional career I have been drawn to the education and edification of others, in particular the youth. I feel I have an intrinsic ability to understand them and motivate them to see the bigger picture in their life. My own education and years of experience in education have equipped me with the skills and drive to help my student's reach their full potential and goals. My college education was never 'standard' but guided the development of my exceptional writing skills and tone. In addition to completing my bachelor degrees, my experience of living and teaching abroad in The Netherlands broadened my understanding of the world and its many cultures. There, I not only learned to speak but teach in Dutch.
My love for teaching is inclusive of all learners of all ages. Given that personal motivation is the key to true learning, I consistently strive to seek ... read more

I graduated from Arizona State University East. It is a more technical school when it comes to elementary education. As a student I was required to do more service hours than at the main campus. I then student taught in Mesa Arizona followed by teaching 3rd grade in Mesa as well. I taught full time for one year and shared a teaching contract with another teacher for the second year.I also lead numerous programs through the parks and recreation here in Arizona. Programs involved tutoring, teaching science programs and leading young adults in teaching these programs as well.
Am I allowed to quote the above example? I am just kidding but for the most part I do agree with all of those things. I am apatient and easy going person who is super-excited to to see students connect their learning with experience. I believe people in general learn best through play and experiencing things hand ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I apply great importance on the education of children and their ability to grasp concepts to make them successful members of society. I believe a solid foundation of education leads to knowledge, and knowledge leads to wisdom. My style of teaching can be described as experiential. While holding a license in Falconry, I volunteered to conduct in-class education on Birds of Prey with live Red-Tailed Hawks. Furthermore, my independent research allowed me to experience basic and complex ecological relationships in real time. By relating these real-life experiences to bridge the often times complex contents of textbooks allows valuable learning to take place.
As an undergraduate, I was very involved in independent research with peers and professors alike. Specifically, I studied Ecology and Behavior in Coral Reef fishes as well as Mammalian Physiological responses to human develop ... read more

I have taught nine years of elementary school. I was certified in AZ, but let it lapse. I have recently re-submitted my application. During my teaching career, I have been a mentor for two student teachers for ASU. I have been a chairperson, tutor, coach, etc.
Teaching is my passion. I love working with students and feel it is an honor to be apart of their lives. Making a difference is what keeps it enjoyable for me. I am a very easy going person. I love working with other teachers on projects. I would describe my teaching style as a traditional approach with technology thrown in. I love using technology in as many lessons as I can.

A Little Bit About Me...

From my previous teaching experience gained in college I believe that there is a delicate process, that requires patience and respect in teaching students. I am easy going and understandable and always provide encouragement. I believe in a hands on approach to teaching, which can make learning more fun for the students. My only hope is to make a difference for every student.
My college experience and training has allowed me to get excellent insight into both of my majors. I have learned the language and culture of not only Germany but also ancient cultures. My various challenges along the way pushed me to achieve higher goals and led me to the completion of my two bachelor degrees, BA in German Studies and BA in Classical Civilization. From my anthropology classes I gained my experience in teaching freshmen, juniors and seniors from diverse backgrounds. I firmly believe i can tut ... read more
