My teaching philosophy drives my instruction. Cooperative learning, discovery-based learning, student-centered classrooms, and research-based methods are all components of my teaching style. With the support system I provide, students feel comfortable taking risks with new knowledge and aren't reprimanded for making mistakes. The fact that each student learns differently keeps me constantly adjusting and adapting my lessons and activities. I feel it is the role of the educator to do everything possible to make each child successful.
In 2001, I started my educational degree program. In order to better prepare me for my future career, I immediately started working in the school system. From 2001-2004, I worked as a 1:1 aide for a child in the primary grades, K-12 substitute in all subject areas, youth mentor for mentally disturbed children, and a life-skills tutor for a child with As ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Hello, I graduated with a PhD. in analytical chemistry from the Department of Chemistry, University of Massachusetts in Amherst. My research work during my PhD career involved synthesis, purification, analysis and utilization of proteins and PEGylated proteins in bioanalytical experiments. These experimental studies resulted in several publications in scientific journals. In addition, I have considerable experience in training undergraduate chemistry students. Recently, I had the opportunity to tutor at Westfield State College as a visiting lecturer, where I thought a second year organic chemistry class together with a laboratory session associated with the class. I look forward to talking to you further about this position.
My philosophy of teaching is essentially helping students develop skills and insights in a supportive environment that they can use for a lifetime. For a ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Having a Master's degree in Education and Human Services, I understand the importance and value of education. I have several years of experience in teaching in higher education. I also have experience tutoring children in my community. I have tutored children with reading comprehension and written composition.
I love teaching and enjoy working with children. I believe that children require a lot of patience and understanding. My goal is to provide a positive learning environment where children can feel motivated. I believe that children can reach their upmost potential when they are with a teacher that is able to provide a variety of techniques and methods based on their learning style. Their success is my first priority.

A Little Bit About Me...

It's true that every student learns at a different pace with a different style. I like to see myself as a cameleon teacher, catering my format to individual needs. My style tends to be laid back so that students are comfortable expressing their likes and dislikes with me, curbing their fear of not understanding something. I love to use metaphors, pictures, examples and stories to illustrate the subject in a new and perhaps clearer way. I don't teach and run - I make sure the student understands before moving on to the next problem. I have them work through something in front of me so I can make sure they know what they're doing. And, finally - importantly - I keep a healthy, balanced sense of humor.
My original plan was to major in Education, but decided to double major in school, then obtain my teaching certificate after graduation. Now, armed with two degrees and a desire to ente ... read more

I believe every child is entitled to an education regardless of any circumstance. They should strive to achieve all they can become. I try to be a teacher with patience, a good listener, and to encourage all my students with a positive attitude. My students needs come first and I try to always have extra time for them if they require it.
I became a teacher because I enjoy working with children. I enjoy helping them in their learning process. When they do well in achieving their goal it's rewarding to me. I know I have accomplished something. All my students achieved a grade level or more whether I tutored on my own or with Club Z Tutoring Service.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teachers have been a great influence on me hence I think that each child should have an opportunity of having a good teacher. According to me a good teacher is one who understands the student completely. A teacher should make the child enjoy what he or she is studying and the teacher should also be friendly and should make the student welcome. Every child learns in different ways, and may be better at learning some ways than others. With my past experience I think I have learned a great deal on how to deal with a diverse classroom. All students can achieve their dreams if they are encouraged and have a good environment. I think I posses good teaching skills and can make my students learn and can make them enjoy the learning process.
