My comments on tutoring Testing Skills : I have a PhD in Educational Leadership, a master's in English, and have taught at a four-year university and a two-year college. I have also worked with HS students in college preparation skills.

I believe in working with students, not talking at them. I ask lots of questions and make sure students retain the information and can apply it to the real world.
I have experience teaching at a two-year university and a two-year college, in composition, communications, and public speaking. I have also run an educational non-profit that works with students to set college and career goals. I hold a PhD in Educational Leadership. Education is my passion, and I would love to help local students excell!

Experienced, Inspirational Teacher and Student

Critical thinking is nourished so well-considered and studied opinions are more than welcome; they are essential. Students have conveyed to me that my style is one of "relaxed intensity" with a flair for the dramatic laced with a sense of humor and a genuine appreciation and respect for the views of others. Focused creativity is required.
I am a career educator who has taught English and other Humanities based courses extensively since 1988. My primary experience is on the college and university level but I also have a high school and middle school background. The educational and pedagogical philosophy I hold is this: The ability to communicate effectively remains the most vital of skills and is crucial to academic and career advancement.

A Little Bit About Me...

I generally teach through visual aids and through very thorough explanations. If the student doesn't understand the first time I explain something, I will explain it in a different way and will keep explaining it in different ways until he/she fully understands what's being taught. I try my hardest to teach by explaining concepts logically and showing WHY and HOW, rather than simply saying something is what it is "just because."
I have always been an honors student and am currently taking the highest levels of math (AP Calculus) and spanish (Spanish 5) at my high school. I am involved in Peer Mentors at my school and have tutored multiple students in a variety of subjects. I have also tutored students outside of school, mostly in math. I love teaching others and helping them to understand concepts that they previously were struggling with. I am very patient and will work my hardest ... read more

My job is not to give students answers, but to push them to articulate better and give better answers. I teach not by lecturing but by discussion; together we work through problems and questions. By showing students (gently) where their thinking could be improved without giving them the actual answers, I push students to solve problems on their own. My teaching strategies were recognized with teaching awards at UVA and at UNC-Pembroke.
I have earned a PhD in philosophy from the University of Virginia, and taught at the university level at Virginia Tech, UVA, Hampden-Sydney College, West Point, and the University of North Carolina at Pembroke for ten years. During that time, I have taught philosophy, logic (including test prep for the GRE and LSAT), and composition. A chemistry minor in college, I am also proficient in basic science and mathematics. I have tutored in composition ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love working and being with children. I believe that all children learn new things in their own way. I am very patient and out-going. My main goal is to motivate and provide the best teaching possible.
I have been pursing my degree in Early Childhood Education at the University of South Carolina. I chosen to take a hiatus from the University so that I can gain more experience working with young children in an educational setting. During my time at the University I gained valuable knowledge and experience with developing lesson plans, assisting teachers and interacting with young children. I want to use my academic experience and love for children and their parents. I am also looking for an environment to increase my knowledge and grow professionally. I also will be receiving my Associates Degree in Arts, May of 2010.

I am an honors graduate with a degree in Special Education and dual certification in Elementary Education. I am currently working toward a masters degree in learning and technology. My teaching experience prior to entering public education included teaching in an international school (Qingdao, China)and teaching in private schools in the United States. I am experienced with helping students to reach their academic and personal goals regardless of any challenges.
Because every child learns in a unique variety of ways, I incorporate a wide range of learning methods into each lesson. Tuning each component of a carefully crafted lesson to the needs of each individual student - is a juggling act that is challenging and rewarding to me. Intuitively supporting learning’s synergistic nature, I enjoy the daily balance of presenting new principles, while skillfully solidifying what ha ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My experiences as an educator encompass a fairly wide circle. I have a good amount of knowledge and experience in both athletics and academics. I have coached, taught and tutored students for nearly seventeen years. As an English teacher I have the ability to teach and tutor all aspects of reading and writing skills. I also have worked with students on test taking (primarily the SAT's), study skills, organization, and various other pertinent skills.
I believe that it is my responsibility to cater and adjust my style to that which works best for the student with whom I am working. In a classroom setting this can be especially difficult, but with tutoring it is much more do-able. I have a lot of training as a Results Coach, which stresses working with the strenghths your client provides you. The exact same process applies towards my students.

Although new to tutoring, I have worked with children extensively and participated in peer tutoring throughout middle school and high school. I have an excellent rapport with children and young adults and my knowledge is not limited to the area of foods and nutrition. I have excellent creative writing skills as well as a very strong knowledge of language, arts and sociology.
As the youngest of three children, I always wanted a younger sibling and became the busiest baby-sitter in my town throughout middle and high school. I truly enjoy working with children and young adults and have exceptional patience and empathy for young people. I am very free spirited and enjoy having fun while showing students the amazing world of learning. Each child is different and I believe you must first build trust with the student and establish a relationship while studying their working habits an ... read more

As a graduate with a BA in English Education, I received the most up-to-date and professional instruction in education. I specialize in secondary education but have tutored elementary students in reading as well as testing skills. As a high school English teacher I work with young adults every day in the classroom as well as after school in the tutoring program. While completing my degree, I also tutored students in basic psychology, history, and in writing labs. I have taken part in SCETA sponsored SAT preparation professional development courses to better prepare me in SAT tutoring.
With regards to my teaching style, I am a pragmatist. I believe that every student has the ability to learn if given the proper instruction, attention, and feedback.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is founded on being patient and intentional towards every learning student. I am very intentional about making sure that students feel comfortable expressing how they do not understand material so that I can provide resources and assistance to their specific needs. I also strive to find a healthy balance between tutor aid and student discovery. I believe that with the right guidance and instruction, students can discover a skill and apply it to many academic challenges. Specifically, I love helping students take their thoughts and create meaningful, clear and strong prose in order to convey their understanding of a text.
As a graduate from UNC with a degree in English, I have gained an in-depth understanding of the English language. Through this rigorous program, I was consistently expected to provide strongly written and grammatically accurate essays that proved ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have always had a passion for kids, which is what led me to a career in Education. I earned an undergraduate degree in Middle Grades Education, with a concentration in each Mathematics and Science. My students are the driving force that motivates me to use nontraditional methods of teaching in order to get through to them. My desire to always be a better teacher has pushed me to pursue a Masters degree, which I am currently working on. For the past four years I have tutored many students, in all areas ranging from grades 3 to 11, and college calculus.
Working with all kinds of children is my passion. All children can learn in my eyes; it is my job to find out each individuals best method of learning and to cater to their specific needs. I believe that in general, education works best when it is student centered. Instead of me teaching at the front of the classroom, I give t ... read more

I am a huge proponent of the dialectic and Socratic methods of teaching, while recognizing the need for the didactic to learn the basic methods of academics. My own experience, as well as my background in Psychology, helps me recognize that learning must be relevant, interesting, and conducted in a highly accepting and supportive environment. I am keenly aware of the sense of inadequacy of students who come to tutoring services (I have been one myself in the past) and make special care to make all my students feel that improvement is possible for anyone. The knowledge and strategies that high performers utilize are not exclusive; anyone can learn with patience and the right tutor!
I am a current teacher for the Princeton Review for the SAT (soon also for the GRE and GMAT), as well as a former tutor for Huntington Learning Center (SAT). A score of 1400 on the SAT allows me th ... read more
