Graduate student looking to help students achieve their goals!

I have tutored children off and on since I was in high school. More recently, my time has been spent volunteering with The Giving Tree, where I tutored inner-city children after school and helped organize activities (museums, zoo, etc.) on the weekends. I am currently in the final stages of my dissertation for a doctorate in psychology, so I am always actively learning, too. My aspirations are to become a professor in higher education upon acquiring my Ph.D..
I think teaching styles should differ based on the preferred learning style of the student. The teaching style should play on the strengths and preferences of that particular student. That being said, I foster a student-centered approach to learning. This approach encourages the student play an equal, active role in the learning process, rather than a passive role. A cooperative approach is important so the student can feel li ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

www.logicstudies.com
We see education as a meeting of minds, where every participant is on the same level. While a tutor may well have more knowledge of a subject than the student, learning is a communicative and collaborative process; the transmission of ideas can only happen when we acknowledge we each have something to learn from one another. Part of what makes Logic Studies so successful and distinctive is that we refuse to fall into the prescribed teacher-student dynamic. Never condescending and demonstrating mutual respect, the tutors at Logic Studies treat their students as peers, or coequals .

Let's start working together to reach your goals of success!

Throughout my successful career as a teacher and school counselor, I've instructed every level from kindergarten to college level. Likewise I've had the privilege of working with various cultures, ages and achievement levels. Due to my certification and years of experience I've taught every subject area in grades K-8, worked with high school students in language arts and sciences, assisted with study skills and test preparation and taught reading to adults as well as other college level classes. I have a reading endorsement and a counseling psychology certification so I am versed in Special Education issue also. My satisfaction comes when my students understand a concept, gain confidence as a learner and a person and reaches their full potential. For the last two years I have been involved in tutoring and I find it even more exciting and satisfying.

After graduating from the University of Washington with a BA in English, the English language has been my passion. I understand the ins and outs of essay writing, from formulating a draft to polishing a written work to its final form. Though critical reading and writing is my concentration, I've worked on many different projects including presentations, debates, research reports, and short stories. In Korea, I was an English teacher for nearly two and a half years. For six months I taught general reading, writing, speaking, and listening. I then worked as a head instructor, concentrating on preparing students for the TOEFL test along with high school and university entrance evaluations.
Building rapport with my students is key; if they know I'm dedicated to their success, they'll be more confident in asking questions and trying new approaches, taking an active role in their ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am known for my amazing listening skills and empathy. I am a student of Non-violent communication and use it at every opportunity. I love to teach with symbolism and visual techniques. Most of all I find it is important to listen to the child and see how they need to be taught and adjust to their comfort levels. I feel that patience and compassion for different cultures is also key to the student’s success.
I recently graduated with honors from PSU and have a strong desire to work with and help children. I have a passion for literacy and believe it has the power to change lives. I am a single mom of a 14-year-old son and have also volunteered with the African Women’s Coalition to tutor African Refugee children. Working with the children transformed my life and taught me the importance of knowledge.

More About This Tutor...

My teaching style focuses on teaching students how to find the big picture. If they understand what it is they are trying to do, then showing them how to get there becomes easier. Any student can learn math, and have the capability to understand numbers, this just comes harder for some and easier for others. In my past I have benefited greatly from some math teachers, and fallen behind in classes where I was not getting what the teacher was talking about. Tutors can be a great help in pushing students over a difficult concept or idea. Then, when the student is back on track, they can take their education in their own hands again.
During the last four years, I have spent a large amount of time working with, and around middle school and High school students. I have spent time in the classroom, worked with small groups, and spent one summer working with multiple summer camps up and do ... read more

Having graduated from a liberal arts university, I know that being well-rounded is very important in life. I graduated from Whitworth with a BS in Math and minors in Spanish and Computer Science, so I know what it is like to learn complex subjects. I have tutored my peers along with students younger and older than myself, as a mathematician and a Spanish speaker. I led a Spanish Live Lab for two years and informally tutored math for four. Also, I have a great deal of grammatical knowledge from writing research papers in math and computer science and Spanish.
I love teaching and relating to people. I know from personal experience that one good teacher can change the way a student views an entire subject. I am easy-going, friendly, and patient. I believe that all students have great potential and should be given every opportunity to fulfill it.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have had experience in tutoring mathematics at local community colleges. I have also tutored chemistry, physics and many medical subjects informally. I have finished classwork in a medical program and have assisted with many classes, mostly in physiology related courses.
I enjoy tutoring, especially with motivated people. I have much experience in translating difficult academic problems to meaningful skills. I still don't have my times tables memorized but can demonstrate difficult fractions and imaginary numbers to others. My experience in laboratory, design and classroom settings allows me to illustrate complex concepts meaningfully. I enjoy working one-on-one to help facilitate deeper understanding. I would consider working with special needs children or those with learning disabilities.

A Little Bit About Me...

In order to put myself through my college education, I worked nearly full time as a tutor throughout the duration of my college career, continuing past graduation. Academic-minded, I graduated at the top of my class as a valedictorian candidate which is an affirmation of my ability to use critical thinking and creativity with success. In my tutoring experiences, I specialized with students that had severe learning disabilities ranging from ages 6-18 in subjects including mathematics, science, Spanish, English, social studies and history as well as test preparation and study skills.
Teaching students of all levels is a passion of mine. From my many years of experience around children, I have found that I do not have just one teaching style. Each child is unique and therefore the approach I take with each child is unique. I have had the greatest success in trying different learning m ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Living, studying and working in Ghana, the UK and the US has given me the opportunity to meet people of different backgrounds interacting, impacting and learning from them. I studied at the London School of Economics for my Masters in Operational Research as a Commonwealth Fellowship Scholar. As a consulting analyst at Citigroup, I had the privilege of applying my academic training by working on a project to stress test consumer credit risks. Throughout my studies for both of my Masters degrees, I have exercised and developed my knowledge of academic and business report writing. I have also enjoyed varied teaching opportunities: GRE & GMAT Quantitative Prep Coach, graduate teaching assistant, summer instructor and tutoring.
I am an adherent of the one-size-doesn't-fit-all policy. I always try to identify with each student's strength and weakness for a course and adapt to their pace ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is active and enthusiastic. I show students clues and shortcuts in all sorts of subjects so that learning can be fun and even easy. I am tolerant and patient, while at the same time I request diligence and assiduousness. I revel in the success of my students, thanks to their efforts and hard work. I love to see students finally understand something they find challenging.
My love of reading and writing has led me to excel in 2 languages. An English major at Carleton College, I mastered the art of putting thoughts on paper to persuade, compare, or explicate; as well as how to read for meaning. Later at the Sorbonne in Paris, I transferred these talents to French. I have since taught and tutored reading, writing, and speaking in both languages in the U.S. and abroad.

I am best-suited for the older student. I like to establish a rapport for efficient use of teaching/tutoring time. The more comfortable a student is with his teacher/tutor, the more interested he becomes in the subject being taught/tutored. Some students need extra help, which I am patient enough to provide; however, some students need a little push, which I am firm enough to provide.
In college, I pursued a minor degree in English because of my love of English, reading, and writing. I love to proofread and edit. Being a sociology major, I had to write many papers, which fine-tuned my grammatical, spelling, proofreading, and editing skills. In law school, I excelled in and enjoyed legal writing courses. While I worked for Kaplan, I taught and privately tutored ACT students. As an attorney I have extensively utilized all of the above-mentioned skills. I enjoyed teaching and t ... read more
