Psychology Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Corrales, NM

I have a year of experience working as a Peer Facilitator at New Mexico State University where I was responsible for grading papers, tutoring, facilitating biology workshops, and hosting exam review sessions for lower level undergraduate biology courses. I am a great tutor because I use my experiences as a student to relate to the students that I am tutoring and encourage them to learn from my mistakes. I try to create a light, relaxed learning environment and encourage students to practice and participate as much as a possible. I also strive to help students build confidence in the subject as well as confidence in their own personal abilities. Relaxed but hands-on. I ask students to do a lot of practice to familiarize themselves with the subject/topic at hand while providing lots of support.

I believe that people learn the best when they understand the meaning and logic behind what they are learning. When a student can see a pattern develop they develop an understanding that can be universally applied to many different areas of study and life circumstances. Learning is different then memorizing. It is especially important to understand the concepts behind the subject matter when planning continue in a similar learning subject. I am a licensed Social worker with tutoring experience in and out of college. I have the most experience in tutoring Algebra and other math. I have a student now that I am helping with AP English who has dyslexia. I enjoy watching her grammar skills increase and her overall understanding of the concepts develop. I am great with any age individual and have the patience it takes to work with any kind of student (special needs included).

As a Licensed School Pyschologist and parent of two school aged children, I have come to understand how people learn things. I have a strong background in reading and writing and was published when I was in college. I have worked for many years with students who struggle with writing, and feel I am very effective in helping them make the connections between reading and writing in a meaningful way. Due to my background in psychology and counseling, I am well suited to work on motivational issued and learning resistance. All people can learn. My job is to be a coach and help students learn to take responsibility for their own learning. I feel it helps a great deal to allow students high levels of autonomy regarding what they choose to study. I will follow along with the student to the best of my ability by challening any assumptions he or she may have about a topic and encouraging hi

I have worked with students of all levels and educational needs. With my 4 children and 4 grandchildren, I have elementary, middle school and high school experience. As a teacher at a Job Corps for 7 years, I had the experience of working with non-traditional students. At Job Corps, I taught reading, developed writing skills/creative writing curriculum, and tutored students in math, health and GED prep. As a self-employed consultant for the past 6 years, I have assisted adults in various higher education programs and computer software training. My teaching style is very flexible. I believe that a learning/tutoring program must be structured to the individual student's needs and build upon his/her strengths. Both the student and the tutor must work as a team to determine the goals of the program, set the work guidelines, establish milestones, and structure the style of the sessions.

I earned my bachelor of arts degree in English with a minor in secondary education and professional writing certification from the University of Nevada Las Vegas in 2007. I taught 10th grade English and Literary Strategies II, which demonstrates my proficiency in the language arts. English 10 focuses on students' skills in literary analysis and writing analytical essays whereas Literary Strategies II helped struggling readers with synthesis, metacognition, and specific reading strategies. Teaching is not only my career, it's my life. I strongly believe in Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences which states that there are eight different pathways to learning; as a result, I rely on kinesthetic, spatial, and musical intelligences to present new information. I make my expectations clear to my students, and my students clearly state their expectations of me. I advocate and

Socratic, I like the students to build on what they already know so that it becomes an extension of their long term memory not another short term memory soon forgotten. I have found ways to connect almost any subject matter from physics to algebra to chemistry nomenclature into something one already knows. If one uses long term memory pegs one can "file" things in memory and recall with very little effort. I have received a degree in English and was a pre-law student. I owned a real estate company in 1990s. I was in the Navy (scored 95% on ASVAB) and worked in the field of intelligence. I acquired legal experience working within real estate and finance.

Students need to be equipped with the research skills and ability to fetter out information from a number of different sources. The information must be timely, accurate, credible, relevant, etc. The days of going to a library and pulling volumes of texts to research substantive information has changed. Now, most students understand what a Boolean search is. However, many don’t know much beyond the internet. This is both an imperative skill as a successful student, and as a potential graduate seeking employment. During the years I have been an instructor and tutor, I have contributed to my students’ confidence and motivation through my interactive and engaging lessons on becoming a successful student. I conduct my lessons with high energy, engaging students to participate and contribute to the discussion. I balance excellent student interaction with effective classroom management. I fe

The combination of a Master's Degree in Molecular and Cell Biology and an undergraduate major in Psychology and minors in Biology and Chemistry along with many years of research experience in biology provide me with a well rounded background in math and science. My specific tutoring experiences began as an undergraduate where I tutored other students in courses I had completed such as: general chemistry, organic chemistry, genetics, general biology and psychology. I enjoy all of the science topics and like tutoring others, it is very rewarding. My experience teaching began after I attained my bachelor's degree. I taught mathematics for a couple of years in veterans upward bound given at the University of Massachusetts to veterans returning to college.

I have learned to acknowledge and understand the multitude of learning styles and abilities among youth from different backgrounds, belief systems, and economical positions, and I am familiar with individual personality and psychological variations that effect attention, learning, and social or personal interactions. My philosophy for educational instruction and tutoring involves supplemental interaction, minimal direction, and extensive support to help individuals gain self-confidence in their available skills set, intelligence, and problem solving tendencies by presenting helpful strategies and adhering to each student's abilities.

My teaching style is very open and I am very attuned to students’ inherent aptitudes, learning needs and ways of processing information. I am very approachable, responsive, personable and believe in affirming a student’s self-concept as a learner. Different approaches and conditions are often required for optimal learning, so I endorse multiple methods to acquire information and apply concepts. I am very interested in working with authentic assignments, homework requirements and projects attached to a student’s curriculum. Making learning fun and relevant are important elements of my teaching style as well. With Masters degrees in Education and Library/Information Science, I have experience as an educator at public and private institutions.. With a teaching focus that has featured writing, reading, basic/advanced research, information literacy and media, I have taught students at a
