My approach to teaching is more of a "why" approach. It is more important for students to know why something is or works rather than just how. This approach works well for middle and high school students. It allows students not only to understand the ideas taught but to apply them to other areas as well. I also like to use visual aids as well as conversation. I have found that many of us vary widely in learning styles. Some are visual learners, others are audio learners, and still others are a combination. I work well one-on-one but also enjoy small groups. I look forward to working with you or your children to produce results they can be proud of. I have a BS in business and can tutor in any business related fields. In addition, my original college major was physics. I can and have taught physics, math, (up to differential equations) and physical sciences. I have also been an ame

My educational background is well-rounded, which prepared me to tutor in a variety of subjects. For example, I demonstrated solid grammar and research/writing skills in order to successfully complete my B.S. in Human Resources Management and supplemented this degree with college coursework in Economics, Accounting, and Business Statistics. In addition, since 1998, my tutoring experience has included a variety of areas: Basic mathematics and reading at the elementary level, High school mathematics and English, GED test preparation classes, College-level Algebra, Resume-writing and interview skills seminars, and Continuing Legal Education classes for lawyers. I love coaching and facilitating the learning process for students of all ages. As a tutor who has worked with elementary school children, teenagers, college students, and adults, I know that each person learns in his or her own

As a law school graduate, I am well trained in writing and communication skills. While in law school I was awarded a position on the legal journal of Health Matrix: Journal of Law-Medicine. My duties as a member of the executive board were to manage the staff and tutor the other editors in writing skills as they developed articles worthy of publication in the journal. In addition to my experience in law school, I am currently clerking for a federal judge in downtown Pittsburgh where I write legal opinions and edit the work of other law clerks and interns. I believe that my experience in editing the work of others at a high level will prove to be a valuable asset in the tutoring of children in writing and reading skills. In addition to my desire to practice law, I have a passion for the education of children. I believe children learn in many different ways and I am not committed to

I love to teach and convey knowledge to children of all ages. I believe any child can learn when a subject is presented to them from a perspective that they can initially relate to. I am patient, positive, and encouraging in my teaching style. I believe in consistency and practice in a subject matter and to allow the student to discover many areas with my assistance. My goal is to inspire, encourage and effectively help every child that is in need of tutoring. As a student in high school, I participated in a tutoring program for 2 years helping elementary school students. Then, as a student at a very athletically based univeristy, I tutored for two years helping student-athletes gain and maintain stellar grades. I have earned a bachelor's degree in Business Adminisration with a major in Accounting. I am also currently pursuing a CPA to be licensed in the stated of Pennsylvania. I

I think it's important to listen to what learners and students have to say. I approach teaching first as a learner; I learn what the student's main concerns are and what goals they have for themselves. Second, I teach and leave room for questions, concerns and confusion. This approach to teaching focuses on the major concerns of the student (or parent)rather than focus on an overarching theme like how to read or how to write. If the student's only concern is how to use a comma, then that will be the focus of the lesson rather than focusing entirely on all grammar. I have earned a bachelor degree in English Writing with a minor in German Language and Literature. While enrolled at the University of Pittsburgh, I also completed a certificate in Public and Professional Writing. I've worked as a writer for national companies, including Orient Watch, Tarte Cosmetics and EcoSMART, as well as a

I have always been very mathematical, even though I did little to cultivate it. One of my favorite classes in college was a statistics course I took, and the other was a logic class. I love to read books, and I enjoy chess as a hobby. Teaching is my true passion, and I regret leaving a teaching job to pursue a law degree, and I can only hope to pick up where I left off. I was a teacher/counselor at a teenage group home for 4 years. This was the most rewarding work that I ever did. I am a proponent of two things. First, encouragement. I always encourage the smallest success before I point out any failure. I never get frustrated or upset. I never get angry or disappointed. I know that encouragement breeds success, and success is the goal. Second, I speak to children as if they know what I mean. In other words, I never talk down to them. I almost feel as if I might treat kids more like adul
