A Little Bit About Me...

I truly enjoy teaching children of all ages, as well as adult learners, and I strive to find innovative and creative ways to approach learning for each individual. I always focus on each person's abilities and interests to make the learning experience both productive and enjoyable, and I always look forward to those moments of accomplishment and achievement for each student. People have told me I'm both professional and friendly/approachable, and one of my co-workers has said that patience is my middle name.
I have been a foster and adoptive parent for many years, and I have provided classroom and one-on-one instruction to students with many learning styles, both as a parent and as a professional instructor. I have worked with many students, ranging in age from young children to adult learners, including those with special learning needs. I have excellent writing, grammar, and ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a student and teacher of history, I have had the pleasure of working both in the classroom and in large, nationally recognized museum education departments. As an historian of a variety of subjects, I have extensive experience in research, working with primary and secondary sources and materials, project presentations in various formats, and writing and editing essays, magazine articles, and research papers, marketing materials. I have been a judge for several years at the state's History Day student competition, and have worked as a substitute teacher in the local schools. I am a parent of two children so I am comfortable working with kids, being creative and patient with their various learning styles, over the past 9 years.
I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am available to help your child find acade ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love working with people, and have a lot of patience. I work hard to let the student work through problems themselves before assisting them. A lot of students I have spent time with just need a small amount of encouragement and are very capable of completing their work. I enjoy working with different types of people, and adapt my style to fit their needs.
I started tutoring in 9th grade, and continued until my freshman year of college. I tutored middle school and high school students in math, sciences, and social studies. In college I tutored in Level 1 and 2 French, Psychology, and College Level Algebra. I have tutored both male and female students, and have worked with people with reading and learning disabilities.

As an outdoor education instructor and program administrator I have been working and teaching children of all ages for the past 8 years. My bachelors degree is in History, but in addition to my formal education I have plenty of life experience as a coach and mentor to children of varying ages.
I love to work with children and helping them learn and explore is a passion of mine. Seeing that lightbulb click on for a child and the excitement they get from discovery and understanding is a thrilling experience everyone should share.

I earned a BS in Aeronautics and have completed some graduate work in aerodynamics and meteorology. In addition to having given approximately 3000 hours of instruction in aviation subjects, I have authored several textbooks on aircraft design and construction. I've been both a research pilot and a captain on a cargo airline.
My teaching style is straightforward - proceed from the simple to the complex. It appears most subjects require this approach. I find it both helpful and important to try and relate situations encountered in day-to-day life to the specific subject problems.

A Little Bit About Me...

How do I summarize teaching in my life? I guess the best way to explain my teaching experience is to tell you a story. As a young girl I wanted to be a teacher. Because of my love of learning I taught all my siblings how to read. I know it is pretty funny but it is a true story. That led to my doing teaching seminars, which led to consulting, which led to training, which led to my working with individuals as a life coach. I have been a CEO, Vice President, Consultant, Senior Broker, Artist, Photographer, Glass Blower, Jewelry Designer and writer, the job titles have changed over the years; the only consistent has been that teaching has always been a part of my working life.
I fundamentally believe anyone can learn. If a student isn’t grasping a concept, it just means I have to change my style of teaching. So what is my teaching style…anything that helps a student achieve hi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I began my professional career in land surveying. After the birth of my two sons I revised my goals toward an educational experience at the elementary level. I completed my practicum in Elementary Education and performed a year of substitute teaching in both the elementary and middle school levels. Since that time I went on to complete a secondary degree in mathematics with a certification in secondary level education. I have been teaching at the elementary school, middle school, and high school levels for a private high school for students with learning differences for the past eleven years.
I prefer to have a working relationship with my students that is based on mutual respect and understanding. Beyond this I employ more than one type of teaching in order to reach a variety of student learning styles. For example, if the student requires alternate learning opportunities s ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have had a deep interest in helping people since I was a young child. Seeing someone succeed because of my help is one of the greatest motivators for me, especially when it's "against the odds". As a college student I tutored the students who really wanted to learn but couldn't through no fault of their own--those with learning disabilities and non-native English speakers. I have tutored many subjects such as language (French and English), math, and physical sciences.
It is difficult to describe my teaching style because I try to adapt to the student. Students learn differently and therefore it is my belief that you must observe first and then you have to adapt to the student, especially in a one on one situation. Some students may learn better if you play a game with them, others if you read them a passage. I try to learn as much as I can about the student and adapt to their ind ... read more

I have taugh young girls ranging from 10-13 years old for an LDS Church, and enjoyed working with these girls, arranged activities to fun places and helped college students with certain skill sets - math, English, Computer Programming (C+, Networking, Access, PeopleSoft). I am a very helpful person who loves to help others to success with their classes, and enjoyed seeing how their grades improved with some of the help that I have rendered to these students - they did well on their tests, quizzes and coached them with Speech class as well. I am deeply grateful for the opportunities to help other students and many have gone on to graduate from high schools and colleges.

I believe learning and knowledge is gained through careful deduction and observation. Certain material often from the onset might seem unreachable , however a good teacher will find several different ways to link information that initially might not seem related to help the student gain a better understanding of the material. I do not believe in memorization of countless facts, i believe in the understanding of core principles and information that allows an individual to observe and make their own conclusions about the material being taught. This information is then compared side by side with solid facts;doing so, a new form of understanding and learning emerges.

I understand the importance of getting to know students on an individual basis, as everyone will learn in a different way. With art specifically, I believe it's important to be helpful and supportive while encouraging new ideas and new techniques. In teaching art, I believe one should work hands-on with the student and the chosen materials, but still introduce theories and ideas about the choices being made to give further meaning to the work. The best art instruction comes from those who are open-minded and allow creativity to blossom while advancing technique. These philosophies are what I strive for in my instruction.

My teaching approach is to be direct and explicit, as well as facilitative. When working with students, my goal is that they internalize concepts and strategies that will ultimately enable them to perform independently. Then, when teaching reading and writing, I emphasize underlying structures and organization of text and the steps in the writing process. Breaking down barriers by pulling out language and ideas opens the door to rapport and understanding a student’s strengths and weaknesses.

I believe that students have many ways of learning. I believe that all students have the capability to learn, given the opportunity. I offer many ways of learning and retaining to my students. I use creative and critical thinking skills to my students , so that they may retain and fully understand what they are learning.I strive to "fine tune" every tutoring session to the student. To me, success comes in many different ways, with the result being that the student has 'mastered' the subject to the best of his/her ability.

As a graduate of The Kings College the professors taught me the value of working with children on an individual basis. They taught me that there are many different learning styles a student may have. This is what got me interested in the Title 1 Program. As a tutor in this program my focus was Reading and Math at the elementary level. My job was to help students with dificulties in reading and math to get up to the next grade level and beyond with confidence! I am happy to say that this is the most rewarding job there is! As a member of The Professional Association of Innkeepers I have many years in Marketing, Communications and Business. I am prepared to help any high school student in these areas with great success!

More About This Tutor...

For students to succeed, they need to be able to have open and respectful communication between themselves and their teacher. Each student brings to a tutoring session or a classroom his or her own self-knowledge about how he or she best learns, and in my teaching I always strive to draw this information out. I work to find those aspects of a subject that are going to cause a particular challenge for a student and those aspects that will come more easily. I believe that in situations where students find themselves comfortable and listened to, I can get a far better grasp of the needs of the individual student, which in turn will lead to more successful learning.
In college, I worked not only to achieve personal academic excellence, but also to help my fellow students attain their academic goals as well. I was a double major, receiving my BA in English and History, and also worked a ... read more
