I strongly believe that teachers can influence the passion and understanding a student will have for a subject. While my early teachers had varying styles of educating, I remember the teachers that honestly cared about their subject and inspired me to pursue a career in science. As a math tutor, I understand that children develop at different rates and some find math very difficult to learn. However, with the right amount of patience, positive attitude, and extra attention, these individuals will progress at math and may discover new abilities that propel them to succeed in academics and life. I am a dedicated, considerate tutor that will put in the extra effort that it takes to provide high quality teaching.

More About This Tutor...

The professors who most impressed me were extremely challenging. One exceptional professor jumps out at me. Her passion for teaching was inarguable and her skill was remarkable. She was witty and smart. I remember sitting on the edge of my seat, clenched tight, simultaneously intrigued and terrified. She could tell stories that left us in stitches or scare us into studying for the entire weekend. I have come across few professors with so much excitement for teaching. I believe I bring excitement to my students. Developing relationships with students is imperative as well. When I can personally hold a student accountable, they will undoubtedly meet my expectations.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a passionate believer in individualized education. Good education matches a child’s level, pace of learning, and interests. I am very student-centered in my teaching. I use a variety of means to engage students and to allow self-direction so that students can “work” from their interests. I try to find the place where the student’s interests and level meet the demands of the subject matter. That is the place from which meaningful learning and individual growth can happen. I also have a strong commitment to quality. For example, I believe that it is very important for older students to apply themselves to reading closely, thinking analytically, and writing well. I try to show them that these difficult tasks are essential to empowering themselves as learners and persons.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is enthusiastic; I desire to help students encounter who they are and imagine what they can achieve through their education. As an educator, I am energetic, compassionate and flexible in my approach to student needs. I understand my role as an engaged fellow learner, rather than a reserved teacher-authority. Because I believe that learning is a dynamic, uneven process and this process is often different for every person, my teaching philosophy is student-centered. I strive to create a conversational, open space where students feel comfortable taking risks and making mistakes. I celebrate the significant, unique inquiry each student brings into the classroom. In one-on-one conferences, I encourage self-reflection, asking students to identify questions or difficulties we can explore together. I challenge students to be self-accountable, even as I hold students accountable ... read more

I was a substitute teacher assistant for children with special needs ages 3-21, on and off for the past 6 years. I have 6 months of experience in outdoor education teaching various science classes and other outdoor, leadership and art classes/skills. I also tutored college undergrads in calculus and botany for a year in college.
My teaching style has been a very hands-on approach in the past due to my experience with environmental education. As a tutor, I strive to offer my assistance in a way children can understand.

A Little Bit About Me...

With my years of being around and in an educational environment, I have picked up patterns of repetition and summary to reinforce ideas being conveyed. I, myself, learn best by doing. Through studying adult learning styles, I discovered that studies show utilizing all facets of learning - writing, audio, visual, and hands on - leads to the highest levels of retention. I teach by 1) talking by the student to determine his or her best learning style and 2) utilizing the various methods listed above so that the student can retain the maximum amount of information through his or her best learning style.
If someone would pay me to be a student, I could continue going to school for my whole life. I love to learn and come from a family of teachers.
