Computer Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Dennis Port, MA

I have worked most of my adult life in education or journalism, and I was able to combine my two passions as a journalism professor at the college level for several years. I am currently a visiting lecturer in media studies at Bridgewater State College and a substitute teacher in local schools. I have taught social studies, business and typing in secondary schools. I also have taught in other venues -- as an exercise instructor for youth, adults and disabled individuals, as a word processing instructor, and as an English as a Second Language instructor to new immigrants through Literacy Volunteers of America. I have used my teaching skills as an editor at several newspapers, coaching new reporters and correspondents. I have a relaxed teaching style that makes my students feel comfortable and interested in learning. I believe I transfer my passion for my subject to my students. I am able

I taught French and Latin at the secondary level for seven years. I used modern techniques and lots of interactive activities to encourage learning. With Hewlett Packard and Agilent Technologies, I trained the mobile sales force on productivity tools and sales tools. I led the productivity consultant team in designing curriculum and delivery methods in many flavors: Face to face, online, hard copy. I also led the design and maintenance of our internal website and helped with enhancements to the Agilent website such as the Online Store. I am also a certified MS Office Specialist and have volunteered as a computer skills instructor for non profits. I believe students need to be engaged and enjoy the teaching process. I also believe every day examples that they identify with helps them apply their learning and retain the knowledge. I am enthusiastic and committed to helping students l

I have wanted to teach since I was in second grade, and am currently working toward my license in Massachusetts. I believe that knowledge is an intimate thing, and that learning should be fun, and confidence-building. I use eliciting techniques, bringing student knowledge to the table first, and then build upon it. Knowing a student is important for preparing relevant materials for class. I believe technology is an important tool that can enhance the learning process when implemented appropriately. My Zen professor in college taught our class that in order to be a good teacher, one must be a good student. I strive to embody that principle. I have tutored students privately in subjects ranging from languages to math since 2001. One student has continued French lessons four hours a week every summer for five years. I completed a one-year French as a foreign language course in Martinique. I

I'm patient and listen to the student to see what they get and don't get about the premise of the lesson. Then we get to it. Careful reinforcement of the Correct method will ensure Remembrance and Results. Also, Lessons must be approached within the context of the Big Picture. Students need to realize that there are no pointless or forgettable sections. Basically, communication is key followed by practice, reinforcement, more practice. Learning can be at pace, but laziness and whining will not be tolerated. I have a Bachelor of Art in History, predominantly American. I also pursued Engineering for my first year and plan to go back to College. I have completed through Calculus II and am also experienced in hands-on mechanical. I have limited tutoring experience, but I know I can listen and respond. Any experience came from helping others in classes during College.

My teaching philosophy and primary goal is to first understand and appreciate each child for their unique abilities, strengths and weaknesses, then to channel those abilities toward a better appreciation of the practical value of science and math knowledge. Learning comes easiest when students find benefits to knowledge. Each assignment represents a short term goals, building a student’s confidence with each successful completion. I find by encouraging students to avoid distractions, focus and manage their time effectively, it is much easier to make significant progress on difficult teaching concepts and retain knowledge . I can offer a student a broad educational perspective with a Ph.D. in the medical sciences and 18 years experience in the Biotech industry. My teaching experience began on the faculty at the UMass Medical School (1993-1999), where I tutored high school, undergradu

During my years attending UMass Dartmouth, I recieved my Bachelor's Degree in Sociology with a minor in Business Administration. But I also gained alot of experience working with children. I tutored elementary age students in the star program and college students at my campus job in the Unity House. I also was the coordinator for the New Bedford Speech Academy. This program taught students fron 4-6th grade public speaking skills. I have applied the skills I learned to my current job as a home tutor. I tutor elementary to high school students in all subjects. My teaching style is unique to each student's indivdual needs. I take time to recognize my students learning style and provide the need materials or teaching style based their needs. I prefer tutoring to working in a classroom because I can give each student the specialized one-on-one time they need to help not only keep them

Informal for large groups as I wanted the students to see me as like them, but with enough capability to inspire them to listen. I learned early on you cannot make anybody learn anything. You must inspire them to want to learn. At the 1-on-1 setting (tutoring level), I work at a very detailed level with the particular student I have with me at the time. Each one is sufficiently different to warrant different teaching approaches to maximum effect and retention. During my Doctoral candidate years, I worked as both a engineering lecturer and laboratory instructor for 3 different engineering fields. The fields were circuit design, applied mathematics and practical laboratory equipment usage. I also gave lectures in Applied Optics (physics) for Seniors at Clarkson University during my last Doctoral year (1984-85) at campus.

My favorite thing about teaching is when my students finally understand and make a connection to what I have been teaching them. I believe that all children have the ability to be successful; it just takes the right approach and the right tools to connect to each student. I believe that a good teacher teaches to the many different learning styles of their pupils, and continues to provide challenging and engaging instruction. I am a patient, responsible, and respectful individual who loves children and helping them to reach their full potential. As a professional educator it is my responsibility to make sure that all my students are given the skills and tools they need to help them to be successful in their next grade level. I currently teach AM/PM kindergarten which means I have to find fun and engaging ways to teach students all the skills they need to acquire in kindergarten in half

When I entered my University, I was asked by the department of Chemistry if I would like to tutor students in General Chemistry. I accepted the responsibility, and started to tutor many of my fellow students in such topics as atomic bonding theory, dimensional analysis, reactions, etc. As time when on, I was ask to tutor for Organic Chemistry 1 as well. Topics herein included stereochemistry, reaction mechanisms, Markovnikov addition, etc. I have tutored between 20-25 students, 9-10 who I saw on a regular basis. Subject material can be confusing and very intimidating. I speak from experience. When I tutor students, I ask where they feel they need the most help and where they are doing well, to help them with their uncertainties and increase their confidence. Instead of just giving the students the answers, I will show them where to find the answers. Once the student works out the problem

As a graduate student, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I have earned a MS in Finance, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math and finance. In addition, I have earned a BA in English, in which I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers, along with essays in many various areas of study. Over the past eight years, I have completed my student observations at the high school level and have taught multiple ESL classes. I enjoy teaching children. It is my belief that all children can learn, but each in a different way. I am available to help your child find academic success and confidence. I am patient and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education for your child. I feel all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. I
