First, and foremost, I believe that effective learning is both fun and relevant. I have always been able to make a game of it and to make it both interesting and challenging to others. My goal is never to teach them a rote solution, but to challenge them to think about the concepts and have then tell me the answers. This builds their confidence and solidifies their learning experience. I find that if they understand how a concept was derived in the first place, they seldom forget that story and therefore have learned something that will stay with them for a live time. I prefer to use the Socratic Method and draw the information from my students. Again, I think it is best if they THINK rather than learn. Over time I see all my students (and all our five daughters) have responded well to this approach.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have always enjoyed tutoring students and seeing them "get" the subjects we are touching on. The look on their face during this moment is priceless. I fully understand that everyone learns things in different ways. While one student may be able to memorize and understand facts one way, say by repetition, another student may learn the information by understanding the background and context that it comes from. I am very patient and flexible with students and realize that if they do not understand the material that it is not their fault, but rather I need to try a different approach with them. A good education is not only valuable in life, but I feel that students gain self confidence when they see their grades improve and they actually understand their class work. This is exactly why I love helping them with their school work.
In high school I was able to tutor students in all subj ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I received my B.S. in physics and went on to work at a Community College tutoring math. I enjoyed this work immensely and received excellent reviews from the students. While working at the college I also tutored middle school and high school students privately. In High School I took a class on Society and the Child which involved tutoring english and math two days a week for a fourth grade class. I plan on returning to school in 2010 to obtain a Masters in Secondary Educaton, with my focus on Math and Science Education.
I have found that there is nothing so rewarding as that moment when a subject 'clicks' for a student. By staying positive and adaptive I believe it is possible to guide students to finding solutions on their own. I work at finding new ways to approach common stumbling blocks and try to show students how applicable math is to everyday life. If it had not been for a f ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My approach is to assess the needs of the individual. What are the learning goals? To pass a class, excel at certain content, or improve grades? This is important to understand so that we are both moving toward an identical objective and can travel together to that end. I am able to design a learning strategy for all content but particularly am knowledgeable in all social sciences and comprehension areas.
I am an educator by training, experience, and passionate interest. My Ph.D. in Instructional Technology has enabled me to assist all students with their learning challenges by devising specific and customized strategies that help each individual master content. I have been in adult learning positions in both corporate and higher education environments and would like to teach people of all ages how to learn what they need to know. I have worked with groups, online educatio ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I feel that my patience, attentiveness, and ability to relate to specific students help me with my style of tutoring. My patience helps me to be persistent even if a student is unable to grasp a concept immediately after explaining it to them. I understand that many students learn in many different ways. In order to overcome this factor one has to be patient and understand how to make a student want to learn. In order to understand a student it's necessary to pay close attention to what helps them learn and what doesn't. The only way to do this is to listen well and instead of thinking about you're going to say next, listen first to what the student has to say. By these means I have been able to successfully understand a person and have been able to teach them in a more successful manner.
I have helped many students with various subjects in which I specialize. I've aided peopl ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a former paraprofessional with a Master's Degree in Social Work I have worked with kids in the past behaviorally and academically. I have a solid grasp of English, Grammar, Social Studies, and Mathematics.
I enjoy working with children of all ages. I feel my career in social work has allowed me to become more centered on compassion as a means of education, and engaging the child in the learning process while being compassionate. Children typically learn best when in a positive, comfortable situation. I would like them to feel comfortable enough to feel like they can be their best around me.

A Little Bit About Me...

My career is a successful and meaningful one for every student I have taught. I received my Masters and Doctorate degrees will teaching and coaching. Many of my students have gone on to become doctors and lawyers as well as TEACHERS! I have always exceled at reaching students in anyway possible to have success. I have earned many teaching awards and enjoy working with kids on all levels of mathematics.
I have many teaching styles in order to reach every student in my classes. My doctorate dissertation focused on learning styles and I have a plethora of ways to help a student reach his/her potentional. Students need a teacher who can provide stability in the classroom and is flexible on learning strategies. I am able to teach a concept and tell if students have understood. If not, change gears and try another method until I can see success.
