Using one's strengths is the key to overcoming any weakness.

Is it difficult to maintain focus while studying? Do you need additional, individualized time to master a concept? Does frustration, anxiety, embarrassment, or hopelessness ever get in the way of you achieving your personal best? If so, I would like to help you achieve your best. Everyone deserves to feel proud and confident about their hard work, and every person can thrive from learning if they have the right tools to help them along. Thanks to my graduate training in clinical psychology, I have the unique ability to coach kids in emotion management, motivation, self-esteem, creative problem solving, and organization while strengthening their academic skills.

More About This Tutor...

While earning my bachelor's degree from Brown University, I taught middle school math and upper school English for two summers at Cushing Academy. My students varied widely in terms of previous experience and motivation, and I strove to approach each at his or her level and to think of each of them as individuals, never just a member of a homogeneous classroom. Last year, I taught middle school music at the Dana Hall School; some of my students had never played an instrument or sung in a choir, while others had years of experience. From this experience I greatly improved my ability to work with middle schoolers. I also tutored adults preparing for the GRE. The math section of this test covers primarily algebra and geometry, and my experience at Cushing had prepared me to find an approach to each subject suited to the student.
I believe the key to good teaching is understanding ... read more

My tutoring practice employs the Socratic method to help students help themselves become better writers, self-editors, and critical thinkers. I do not take a red pencil to their work and "fix it" for them. I do not put words into their mouths to then put into their pens. Their voices remain their own. A strong tutor welcomes and encourages this ownership and self-expression while teaching at the same time. A strong tutor also provides steady, patient guidance and gentle correction, but true learning takes place when students "see the light" for themselves -- a direct result of the collaborative effort involved in the tutoring experience.
I discovered the reward of helping others learn as a high school tutor. Later, as an English major, I tutored in our university's Writing Center. After graduation, I was asked to continue as a tutor/writing consultant for eleven more ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching and helping students to achieve their education goals. I like to make learning memorable and fun for my students and I encourage critical thinking, analyses, and problem solving over rote memorization. In addition, I recognize Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences, and in order to ensure I reach all of the students I teach I use various vehicles of communication whether it be visually, kinesthetically, orally, and so forth.
Having had the opportunity to attend Rhode Island College, I was able to learn the most current and effective tools for classroom teaching. I earned my BS in Elementary Education and have had much experience in the classroom teaching various subjects ranging from Science and Math to Social Studies and Reading. In addition I have also had the opportunity to teach overseas in China for a summer, where my students learned English and Communic ... read more

With normal class size groups... the goal is to provide a lesson with real educational content but to deliver it in a totally entertaining format... usually organizing the students into groups to a) provide support for the challenged and b) excitement for the total class as each group competes against the others. one-on-one teaching requires that the objective(s) be well established and then carefully focus on the individual student's best learning method, be it: verbal, written, reading, hands-on, or all of the above. In general a good teacher will be well planned and offers a delivery which teaches in concentrated bursts, with a brief break every 20 minutes.

My teaching philosophy and style is to make sure the student comprehends the basics of any subject before starting any further or advance work. I find that in the sciences, fundamental knowledge of the basics is very important for the further advancement of really understanding and learning higher concepts. As a student myself who has had tutors and experienced what is needed of most students to do well in exams, fundamentals always played key. I also encourage students to learn through real life application of the science knowledge and practicing problems in an exam setting. This is a tactic to lessens test taking anxiety.
I have extensive experience in counseling and supervising school age children. I have tutored spanish, chemistry, and biology. As a secondary education with a concentration in biology, I have good knowledge of organic chemistry, intro chemistry, and intro biolog ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Ever since I was a young child, my interest in Mathematics has been profound. Mathematics is much more than a class subject; I have interwoven mathematics as an integral (no pun intended) part of my life since I was a toddler. In High school I was frequently participating in Calculus competitions, at which I received two 1st prize awards and wide recognition. My high school teachers noted my skill in mathematics and invited me to become a math tutor in their department. I now attend Lyndon State College as a double major in Meteorology and Pure Mathematics; after two years, I am proudly the head tutor at the Math Lab. It is truly rewarding to tutor students who are struggling, and I hope to become a part of your team.
The key to teaching Mathematics is to let the student discover the Math through leading questions and enthusiastic teaching methods. Many teachers neglect to embrace ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching and working with children has been a love of mine for quite some time now. I feel all student's have the ability to learn but at a pace and level that is comfortable to them. My teaching style reflects my experience working with developmentally delayed students such as those on the Autism Spectrum. I provide a technique which is based on visual learning because I feel when material is drawn out or color coded, children will better grasp it and hold on to it longer. Children love pictures, stories, and colors and what better way to learn then having a little fun too.
After graduating with a bachelor's degree in psychology in 2005 I went on to work as a Special Education aid at the middle school level. I was responsible for a ten year old girl with Asperger's Syndrome, which required me to monitor her throughout the day as well as modify each lesson given in each subject. ... read more

I have enjoyed caring for & teaching children no matter what the individual need may be since I was 14.I have an enthusiasm for learning, but believe in gettting to know what each child finds interesting to reach him/her in order to spark the interest of learning & instill confidence, even if the thought was that the subject was 'yucky' or 'I cannot do it.'I believe all children are capable, given the opportunity, understanding & time.I think success stems from listening to the child, being able to translate that communication no matter what form into an educaitonal tool and then make it fun in a creative way.I think that a motivated child learns more quickly & retains a greater amount of information about the subject.
I have been volunteer teaching, tutoring neighbors and friends since high school including religious education.I am a Babson College Grad with 2 bachelors degrees & ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a student of both criminal justice and political science, I have acquired a depth and breadth of knowledge in subjects such as psychology, sociology, history, government, law, and civics. Apart from the knowledge gathered as a result of schooling, I have been coaching for over five years at a competitive level and have strong recommendations from administrators and fellow coaches. Instructing has always been a skill that comes naturally, and tutoring is something that I have a measure of experience in as I had tutored a few students who otherwise would have been ineligible. My skill in writing is extensive, my grammar and spelling are concise and correct, and my knowledge of research methods is complete. With your institution I hope to extend these skills and sets of knowledge towards the education of pupils in the Rhode Island area.
Skill in school is often about finding a ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that being a coach, and mentor is the best way to teach children. I think that "hands on" training, or "on the job" training is the best way to learn. This is mostly true throughout our entire lives. Providing guidance, and answering questions rather than doing the work for them.
I have been working in a corporate environment for over 20 years, giving presentations, writing reports, and corresponding with all levels of management with success. I am proficient with all Microsoft Office applications. I have tutored and assisted my own step-sons in their High School projects over the last three years, and their grades were always exemplary.
