I can relate best with the student/youth.

I attended Rufus King World IB High school in Milwaukee, Wi, one of the most prestigious inner city high schools in the country. I excelled in IB Geography, Chorus, and Theatre. I was one of those kids who never did any homework, but passed my tests. Everyone came to me for help on projects, homework, ect. I feel that I didn't fully utilize my strengths in school as I could have, so I would love to share that with those who need it now.
Very relaxed, easy going, friendly. I feel less pressure and non stressful settings help students learn better. They can relate to a younger person who is more in tune with youth and someone who understands them.

I have my degree in Elementary Education. I have had experience teaching large class sizes, but I have also spent a lot of time in small group reading instruction, and I have worked in small group math. I tutored a kindergarten girl to improve her phonemic awareness. I tutored Language Arts in elementary school after school hours. I worked at a day care for 5 years and helped students with their homework after school.
I believe in meeting students at their level of need, and mastering the skills needed in order to move onto higher level skills. I believe in teaching students how to develop their critical thinking skills, and teaching them the concepts needed to succeed in school and life.

More About This Tutor...

Teaching is an exciting profession for me. I believe all kids including the most intellectually disabled can learn. I believe in setting high but realistic goals for students. Learning starts before children enter school and should be integrated between home and school. I am a firm believer in laying strong foundations in the lower grades, and building upon this as the child develops. Teaching children through systematic and explicit instruction has worked best for the students in my classes. Teaching children basic knowledge and then applying those skills to real-world experiences is my method of choice. I am a dedicated teacher and care about my students’ progress.
Four years ago, I graduated Magna Cum Laude from a local university. I received a BS in Rehabilitation Studies. This degree prepared me to work with our special population. My ultimate desire was to work with childre ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As an educator and a biologist, I am continually striving to excite students’ interests in the unknown. I also work constantly to instill proper study habits in my students, allow them to learn using their eyes, hands, and ears, and approach each topic with the proper amount of guidance, attention, and enthusiasm it deserves. Moreover, I believe that children should be shown how solutions are achieved; students should be given the tools to complete academic tasks, not merely have those tasks done for them. With that being said, I believe my extensive experience from teaching science gives me the ability to provide students with the tools needed to learn and discover their hidden abilities to be as smart as they desire.
After graduating with top honors from high school, I began my college career at the University of North Florida, receiving my BS in biology with Baccalaureate Hon ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a direct and simple teaching method. I love teaching physics and it always came naturally to me but I understand that most people do not feel the same way. I try to help students gain a deep understanding of the subject matter so that the principles and concepts are learnt and not simple formula memorizing. I do this so that when the student comes across a problem that does not fit the general shape of previous problems they can use the concepts learned to solve the problem. In short I try to teach problem solving and not rote learning in my subjects.
I have been tutoring,mentoring and teaching students over the last 5 years in Physiology, Physical Fitness, and Physics. I have taught online, one on one and in a classroom setting. I have taught practical application to theory as well as theory of the relevant subjects. I have been involved in research projects as well as publ ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Over several years as a teacher, tutor, and teaching assistant I have had the privilege of refining my teaching strategy. For example, as a physics tutor, I coached a high school senior who was intimidated with the subject how to master it using a simple reproducible foundation. I have also life changing testimonials other science subjects. My academic achievements include PhD in biology and a BS with a joint Chemistry with Physics degree. I am always fascinated at the prospect of permanent uplifting a student's.
I teach with the assumption that everyone can learn anything. At the core of my teaching philosophy is the mental model or concept. Consequently, my first goal is to determine if the student has a mental model of the subject matter. If not, I will guide them in discovering a useful one using their existing models and their preferred input mode (tactile, visual, etc.). If a ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I began my teaching career by completing a two year course of study in Early Childhood and then worked as both a teacher and as a Director at a Parent Cooperative Day School until my own children were in Middle School. At this point I returned to College and graduated with a BS in Psychology and a minor in English. I continued on and received a NC teaching license from UNCG. I found my tutoring skills when my High School aged son was home bound by an illness and I home schooled him for most of his High School Years. He graduated from the University of VA with a PhD. recently and attributed his success in College to his home tutoring by his mother. I currently volunteer as a tutor for Americorp.
