As a mother of three teenagers with distinctly different personalities and learning styles, I approach teaching in customized ways that help them open up rather than close down when faced with academic obstacles. I have refined that approach when working with other students, as well. I believe a positive attitude is contagious, so I initiate conversations which enable the student to express whatever knowledge they already have in a given subject. Then we build upon that base of understanding, filling in gaps with new knowledge, eventually reaching higher levels of comprehension and mastery of the subject. Along the way, the student gains stronger self-confidence; a vital ingredient in higher achievement. As a freelance writer and public relations specialist, I write for Air Shows magazine, The Villager newspaper, and online magazine Suite 101. My writing also appears in Front Row

I am experienced in teaching. I have worked within the public school systems as a substitute teacher and as a permanent employee. In addition, I have taught GED classes to adults; and tutored elementary and high school students. I am nearly completed with my Master of Science degree, and I have an earned Bachelor of Science degree from Bellevue University. I am passionate when it comes to teaching. I conduct my lessons with the understanding that every child is an individual. Therefore, they each have their own learning pace and preferences. The first tutoring session, I set aside, to learn more about the child and to conduct an assessment which will help me in determining that child's learning patterns. In addition, I believe in meeting with the parents weekly to discuss their child's progress and to offer advice on how they can help aid their child in their academic success.

I love working with children. Every child has their way of learning, and it just takes patience to find out how they process information. I am very patient, considerate, and positive that everyone can learn. I am a visual learner myself, and find that utilizing visual cues helps others with engraining information as well. I know the feeling of finally understanding a difficult concept, and I wish to help a child get that same feeling. It may take us some time, but together we can work towards obtaining that goal. Presently, I am a student at Walden University working towards obtaining a Ph.D. in Psychology. Since I had earned my BA’s in Psychology and Accounting, MA in Community Counseling, I firmly believe in the institution of learning. I have a diverse spectrum of knowledge from these disciplines. I had volunteered time at Indian River giving psychological assessments to the y

As a graduate student, I worked as an Academic Adviser for student-athletes at The University of Akron. I have worked tutoring at-risk students in a cooperative environment. My duties included supervising and leading study sessions, helping students plan and organize time effectively, as well as implementing study and test taking strategies. I like working with young people to challenge them to accomplish something they did not think was possible. I prefer to ask them questions and see what they can come up with. From there, I use my experiences and expertise to guide them through the learning process. I believe that all people have profound capabilities and potential if they just have the proper guidance and motivation.

I have spent the past four years studying the field of education with an added interest in social studies. In May 2010 I will have graduated from BGSU with a BS in Education and a minor in history. I have a deep passion for the social sciences and with that comes with an excitement for reading and writing. I have spent the past 4 years of college working with students of all ages and levels; including special needs students, middle childhood students and high school students. When I came to college I knew I wanted to teach and I knew I wanted to teach older students of the middle school, high school level. I began on the Adolescent, Young Adult Education track and never steered away from it. I have been granted many experiences in a classroom before I graduate and I have come to realize that every student needs individual attention and it has been my goal to give each child the opportuni

I always seek to individualize my instruction. No two learners are alike, and this often gets lost in a busy crowded classroom. I believe that the ability to tailor instruction to a student's individual needs is essential for academic success. I have experience working with learners of all ages. My earliest classroom experiences while studying at Kent State were with Kindergarten and 1st Grade classes, and I have substituted in classrooms all the way up through high school. I have worked with adults in a GED prep and ESL environment, and my certification/area of expertise is with adolescent and young adult learners.

As a tutor, my number one goal is to assist students in understanding the root of the material before advancing into further knowledge or techniques. I am a patient, empathic, understanding tutor. I am willing to take the time required to help the student reach a point of complete understanding. As a creative and adaptable person, I look for opportunities to convey the information in varying ways to best help the student. I especially enjoy tutoring the lower-level math classes and assisting students in writing/ proofreading papers. As an undergraduate student, I received fifty-plus hours of training, and throughout my tutoring career have assisted elementary level students through postsecondary. As an undergraduate psychology major at the University of Akron, I took advantage of a number of opportunities to help others. I have worked as a tutor at the University level, helping col

For three years while I was an undergraduate at The University of Akron, I worked as a peer tutor with the Department of Developmental Programs. During that time I took three tutor training courses and earned a Level II tutoring certificate from the College Reading and Learning Association. I tutored students in psychology, sociology, and basic statistics courses. As a peer tutor I had the opportunity to become a learning assistant. This position paired me with a professor and I served as a tutor for the assigned class, for the year I served as a learning assistant for Quantitative Methods in Psychology and Basic Statistics. I believe that everyone can learn and appreciate statistics. Being trained as a tutor, one of the first ways to help the student identify their learning style. After identifying their learning style, the next step is to find a way for them to connect the concep

As a young student I was very motivated to attend medical school at a young age. I received a bachelor degree, BS, in biology with minors in both psychology and chemistry. After graduating with my undergraduate degree early, I unexpectedly found a passion for teaching. Currently, I am working towards my masters degree, MS, in biology. Along with this I have been teaching introductory science labs for the university. I also, enjoy tutoring, one-on-one, students ranging from 2nd grade to undergraduates, in my spare time. My tutor experiences include interacting with special needs student as well. As a student myself I know exactly what I want and expect out of a teacher. Learning is exciting for me, and it is important to me that I convey the 'fun' aspects of learning to my students.

I obtained my BS in Business Management from Clemson University in August of 2009. During my time there I was a member of the Varsity Swimming team where I competed against world class athletes within the Atlantic Coast Conference. Balancing life as a student-athlete created a unique and challenging college experience for me. As well as athletic experience, I served as an Assistant to the Director of Community Relations at IPTAY Collegiate Club for 2 years. Within this position I was in charge of a variety of volunteer events for student-athletes, many of which involved tutoring and mentoring elementary aged children. I plan on beginning my pursuit of a MAT in Early Childhood Education this May at Kent State University. My teaching style is extremely hands-on. I have found through my coaching and swim lesson experience that I relate well to kids and by approaching the situation in a fun

My teaching philosophy is that all students can learn, as long as they are motivated to learn, the educator is motivated to teach, and the academic instruction is modified and molded to the learning style(s) of the individual students. Naturally, all students learn material differently, so a variety of instructional strategies need to be involved in the learning process. I care about each of my students, and I strive to motivate them to succeed. I am currently a private tutor for middle school and high school students that need educational assistance in biology, algebra, and chemistry. Since each student has different needs, I assess the obstacles to academic success during my first meeting with him/her, and structure our future sessions accordingly. I did my student teaching at St. Helen's School in Newbury, Ohio. My teaching here has given me valuable experience with classroom man

I am a good listener and let the student tell me what problems they are having in any subject. I ask them questions to get them to think about what they're learning in depth. I let them explain things to me instead of just explain everything to them, this way I can find out what they already know and give them feedback so that they can improve on their weaknesses. I am patient with them and let them work at their own pace, never rushing them. I tailor my tutoring to each student's individual needs. I tutored at Case Western Reserve's Center for Civic Engagement and Learning. I tutored kids of in middle school at the local library in all subjects. I have a bachelor's degree in biology and am in the postbaccalaureate program in nutrition.
