A Little Bit About Me...

I am a former high school math teacher, and a semi-retired Certified Public Accountant and a Certified professional tutor qualified to teach all math and science subjects through the high school, SAT, ACT, and advanced placement levels. I can also tutor college freshman levels in Calculus, Chemistry, Astronomy, and Physics. In addition, I also tutor all college level accounting, economics, taxation, auditing, etc. subjects. I have been tutoring in my spare time for 22 years, and I have taught seminars in the U.S. and Canada in accounting and treasury operations for not-for-profit corporations for 13 years.
First we get to know each other. Often I can create examples to illustrate problems based on the student's interests and experience. If you had any trouble on a recent test or homework assignment, we can begin by reviewing any problems you might have had on those. I will show y ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Graduating with a Bachelor's Degree in Journalism has given me the easygoing background to educate others in writing and reading. I am always the person asked by friends and family when they are not sure how to spell a word or if they need something to be proofread. I enjoy reading and writing very much and would love an opportunity to spread my passion of knowledge through reading. Ie have recently been thinking of getting certified in teaching to be a substitute or tutor. I just needed a reason to complete the task. Throughout my years in school I wrote and read everything necessary and I believe I would have no problem helping others achieve their goals of learning how to read and write to the best of their ability.
I enjoy helping people learn something new. I think anyone can do anything they put their mind to. I would allow the student time to get to know me so they would fee ... read more

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.

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.

A Little Bit About Me...

After experiencing all types of teachers and professors over the course of my education, I've learned that a teacher can only leave a lasting and significant impression on a student by getting that student excited about the subject being spoken. I have learned from my best teachers that patience and being aware of how each individual student understands the subject matter are virtues. I have also learned that it is not helpful for a teacher to give answers or interpretations of the subject matter, but rather to guide a student through the subject matter, to teach them how to fully comprehend the subject matter for themselves. I think this is extremely important to good English skills and is the key to uncovering a passion for literature and creativity in a student.

I am a life long learner and model that for my students. Assessing the academic strengths and areas to work on for each child is a strength of mine. I believe that teaching needs to encompass the whole child; the cognitive, emotional, social, and academic needs for each student must be addressed and nurtured. Every student can learn. The teacher is the "guide on the side" who draws out the best in her students. I strive to be that facilitator to learning for all of the childrn with whom I work.
I have been a professional educator for 26 years. I began by teaching at the Early Childhood level as a preschool teacher and music/drama/movement specialist for seventeen years. For the past nine years I have worked as an Elementary School Teacher with regular and special ed. students. I am an experienced tutor and currently work privately with one student using the Wilson Reading program a ... read more

As a manager and coach I have formally and informally trained employees within my unit and provided same to those interested outside my area. Many have said "you should have been a teacher" over the years but more lucrative pursuits were my focus. I have taken the time to volunteer for Habitat for Humanity to teach a financial literacy class to a prospective homeowner. My interest motivated me to attend the Financial Literacy Commission meeting in DC on May 27th at the US Treasury Builidng and it gave me ideas on how to merge my pet project-in-process of synthesizing a progran merging a 3rd grade math curriculum with a finanical literacy module that would help citizens making better financial choices. I think your program could help me crystalize those ideas in practice.
As indicated above my teaching has not been in a formal setting. I practiced on the job by 1) knowing what I am ... read more

Working with children and seeing them succeed, is one of the few things in life that bring me great joy. I love helping children reach the full potential. Not all children learn the same way therefore it is important to know different methods of teaching and making the work appealing to the student. I believe that showing the child that you genuinely care about him is a big part of helping them reach their potential. A child should know that I am available to him at anytime and for any reason. Teaching is a full time job and plays a delegate in a child’s development. The teacher I remember from high school and elementary are the one who showed me that they truly care about me and wanted to see me succeed in life. These teachers made the difference therefore I have adopted this philosophy when I am called to help. Teach or counsel with children.

I have been a substitute teacher for the past two years covering all grade levels from pre-k three up to senior year in high school. I am a Master's Degree candidate in Elementary Education at Wilmington University. I enjoy students at every level and am amazed at what a difference a year makes in their development. Previously, I worked as a copywriter and I spent a lot of years writing and editing. I really enjoy the one-on-one or small group approach to teaching, which is why tutoring is so appealing to me.
I like to incorporate a sense of humor in my teaching - I believe when children can relax they are much more open to learning. I am also sensitive to children's different learning styles whether they are visual, auditory or kinesthetic, and tailor my approach accordingly. No two sessions are ever the same! Each student has unique needs and challenges and my job is to work "th ... read more
