Individualized learning/teaching for optimal comprehension

I started tutoring in my teens helping young children with Autism Spectrum Disorders develop English and Math skills as well as speech therapy and public speaking. I tutored my fellow students while attending Carroll Community College in English 101 and 102 as well as Creative Writing. I then moved on to being a one on one with high school students with special needs in the Baltimore area.
I take a hands on material approach to learning/teaching. I feel that young students learn best when they can physically learn, such as through blocks/puzzles/interactive learning devices and other similar approaches. I try to let the student use their hands as much as I can to aid in their learning process. For older students such as my high school students or their college counterparts I use more direct audial teaching and visual teaching styles. Every person learns differently, so I cater my t ... read more

At your pace, on your level

I have always been passionate about communications and teaching. I began tutoring mathematics in High School and during my undergraduate schooling I mentored and tutored introductory university level physics, calculus, chemistry, and organic chemistry. I am currently in graduate school at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine studying Molecular Biology and Genomics but remain informally interested in mathematics and physics.
I adjust to the student/learner as I am told or discover their learning preferences. However, in my experience and research, I have noticed that active learning and discovery-based learning are arguably most effective mechanisms for knowledge retention. Therefore, I make considerable efforts to implement these styles into my teaching.

I am energetic and involved. I am a strong believer in the use of visual and other aids. I feel the best teaching can occur when it is interactive. I am highly computer literate, and regularly interject this medium.
My experience is principally in marine research. In such, I have taught at three universities. Most recently I have been giving scheduled seminars for several years. I am semi-retired. My science background is mult-disciplinary. I enjoy most teaching ecology (both marine and terrestrial), geology, biology, physics, and chemistry. I have worked in this field on the west coast for twenty years, and about fifteen on the east coast. My principal fields of work have been geo-physics, and population ecology. Most of my recent work has been in Chesapeake Bay.

I believe that all students want to learn and feel successful. I also believe that all students can learn so long as the materials are available to them in a form that is most compatible with their individual learning styles. My most important charge, along with helping those I tutor to "get" the materials, is to help them analyze their own styles of learning, identify what is successful for them and what is not, and help them create new strategies which might meet with more consistent success, both short and long term. For students who have not learned their own best ways to learn, this step is a crucial foundation for all future academic successes.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been a paraprofessional with the Woodbridge School District for the last 10 years. In my years with the district I have completed numerous trainings in several reading programs, Readind Assist, Wilson, and Soar to Success are a few. I have worked with regular ed and special ed children in grades from 2 thru 8. I am currently working in a self-contained special ed classroom grades 5-8. I work with the students using text to talk books and readers theater.
I am patient but firm with students.I believe when given an appropriate environment and encouragement they all have the potential to learn. Using humor and making personal connections with students helps them feel comfortable, and in doing so, creates an agreeable learning environment.

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy working with students of all ages. I believe that each student is unique and has their own way of interpreting, analyzing and applying information. The position of an educator is to assist students in finding their strengths to build mastery and confidence. The educator will also asssit individuals in finding ways to gain skills that will encourage, reinforce and fortify training and readiness in weaker areas. My job as an educator is to help each student achieve success.
As an Educator, I have worked and taught in many diverse settings such as Elementary, Charter and Private schools, an Arboretum, a working Grist Mill park and a Library. I have taught all ages from Pre-school through adult. I have a Bachelor of Arts in English and a Master‘s Degree in Reading.

A Little Bit About Me...

I like teaching and working with middle, high, and college students. Find different easy ways, to help students understand the hard subjects so they can acquire the knowledge needed to pass a class. Have the ability to see in each student their frustration on a subject and changed it into a success!
Over the course of my career, I have taught a wide variety of courses: principles of my field (Earth, Life, and Microbiology science), and laboratory analysis. I have earned a BS in Biology/Microbiology and a certificate in Industrial Biotechnology I am quite comfortable with classes of different sizes, at different levels, and with various teaching styles. Early in my career, I received a position as a professor in microbiology, data-based approach to teaching introductory courses to students.

A Little Bit About Me...

I try to guide the student to find a personal understanding of the concept. It is one thing to explain a point of difficulty to the student, but it is preferable for the student to be led to an intuitive understanding. It is my goal in teaching to facilitate the student in finding this type of understanding.
I have gained a solid understanding of many disciplines of math and science through my study of Physics. I have honed my writing and general English skills through the writing of laboratory reports, essays, and the completion of a thesis project. I have more than six years of experience tutoring students in math, science, history, and English.

I love learning and helping others learn too! Learning is the key to knowledge and also the key to being a successful and well-rounded individual in society. I believe each person has the potential to learn and achieve great things and I'm here to help people get there. I have worked with students ranging in ages from Kindergarten to High-schoolers. My goal in being a tutor is to help students make the subjects and things they are struggling with into strengths. I enjoy using a variety of teaching styles from memory games to physical activities and reviewing homework. I want to help you the student in a way that fits your learning style.

I believe that every child has a right to learn. I believe that, no matter what kind of problem or learning disability that student has, that he/she deserves to learn. It is the responsibility, not only of the teacher, but the parents, grandparents, siblings and community to help children receive the best education that they can. I believe that all children learn differently. Some learn through doing; some through listening; others are a combination. I teach to each child in the way that best helps them to learn.
While completing my masters in Special Education, I have learned creative ways to help children with special needs that I work with. I have designed and coordinated a Resource Center to help students with special needs learn and achieve at their level. I have also designed and implemented a school for children with special needs.

I enjoy being around the students. I wake up every morning wanting to go to work. There are so many students that learn in many different ways and I have always structured my lessons to try to reach all of those students. I have many hand-on activities and also power-point lessons. The day that the teacher sits behind a desk and has the students reading from books are long over. I am very active in the classroom and try to make learning interesting and exciting. If I can change the mind of one student it makes all the time and energy worth wild.
In 2002 I went back to school to earn my bachelor's degree so I could continue on with my Masters. Two years later I graduated with my Master's of Education in Counseling. A situation came into play at the school and I was asked to "fill-in" for a 7th grade Language Art Teacher. She never returned and I taught the classes from Octo ... read more

I am very enthusiastic and extremely passionate with regard to my subject and student(s). I work well with all types of learners because I see mathematics as a puzzle being put together with multiple corresponding pieces. My students are encouraged to see me as a facilitator --one who does not spoon feed, but instead extracts information as part of an investigative mode of thinking and learning. I am into the "why" and not just the "how" of mathematics; therefore, I tend to ask probing questions, especially during formative assessments. Because I remain teachable and eager to learn, my students follow my model. I love to incorporate technology in my instruction, including "Smartboard" technologies.
Since earning my M.Ed. in Urban Education in 1999, I have had the mindset to push as many students as I am able to, to the top. I have an Advanced Certificate K-8 and have held a st ... read more

Teaching, to me, is an inspirational profession. Teachers must be inspired and inspire others. I draw my inspiration from my students. If my students are inspired, they will actively learn and begin to inspire others. With passion, students will begin to see themselves accomplish their goals. This will only have a positive effect on them and those around them, whether it be in the classroom, at home or out in the community.
I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Sociology with a concentration in Political Science and Spanish. I currently hold a valid state of Florida teaching license (K-6). I have four years of experience in the classroom, specifically 5th grade. I have a passion for helping others and feel this quality is essential for the challenging job of ensuring that every child, no matter their background or circumstance, receives an outstanding education.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe each child has their own learning style. Through a variety of approaches and materials each child can find success in reading and math in their elementary school years. I enjoy finding each child's path to success.
I have taught Special Education for 26 years and third grade for 6. I have tutored using the Reading Assist program and various other methods for reading. I also have many techniques for teaching math to young learners. I enjoy working with children one on one or in small groups. I have retired from teaching but would like to continue working with children part-time. I have been substituting the past couple of years since retiring.
