A Little Bit About Me...

Each of us has a different way of learning but the first step is to appeal to a student's natural inquisitiveness. If they can see real life applications for the skills they are learning they will become engaged and enthusiastic. I have and continue to use many of the skills I learnt in school and they have been instrumental in assisting me to find solutions to complex problems. These are stories to share with students so they can see the usefulness of the skills they are learning . I enjoy teaching and tutoring because I learn new things and new ways of doing things constantly. The joy to me is when a student "gets it".

More About This Tutor...

I am a fun, outgoing person who loves to learn. I am patient and willing to spend the necessary time to help students become academically successful. I believe all people have the potential to learn new things and expand their knowledge. I want to help others realize their learning abilities by teaching them new study methods! I believe learning should be fun. If it’s not fun and enjoyable, then it is hard to be motivated to focus on education. Each person has their own unique way of studying and making learning easier. I have several ways that I have found that helps me learn. Because of this, I can help others learn more successful study methods.

More About This Tutor...

In College I would form groups to try and study for upcoming test or exams. Doing this it really helped me to learn what I was studying and how other people learn as well.
Patients is a amazing thing to have when trying to teach. Many students learn at a different pace and I feel that finding that pace for every student is important. If you try to cram or learn something to quickly it only become heartache and bad grades.

A Little Bit About Me...

While teaching high school students and adults I have helped many struggling learners. One of my main goals in all interactions with students I strive to build their confidence. I like to be a person my students can trust who they also understand has high expectations for them. My classroom management is built around responsibility and accountability, and humor.

A Little Bit About Me...

I like teaching by example -- that is, a given example of a real world problem that correlates with the subject at hand. I like to first define the objective desired, then work systematically toward achieving every step along the way with the tools at my disposal.
As a grad assistant in college, I worked for two years teaching students business software programs in a class room environment. I have also been a team leader in an engineering firm (Parsons Brinckerhoff) in which I liased constantly with both the public and field representatives.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe in the power of education to change people's lives. I have been a music teacher for ten years, a mathematics teacher for two and look forward to another thirty of sharing my passion. Throughout my career, I have taught piano, voice, woodwinds, general music, group piano, and music theory for studios, public schools, and as a private teacher. Additionally, I have taught mathematics as a private tutor and in public middle and high schools. I believe those who can do, teach. As a teacher, I strive to continually learn in an effort to be a more effective teacher. While attending Bowling Green State University, I developed skills such as listening, dictation, improvisation, and composition. In addition, I developed an understanding of music history, music literature and music theory in addition to my skills in mathematics.

A Little Bit About Me...

Scaffolding and positive reinforcement describes my teaching style; combined with a healthy dose of humor and individual, associative modeling. Learning should be fun and challenging. Busy work doesn't have to take such a negative connotation.
My experience is as broad as it is varied. When I taught at Sylvan, I taught every course they needed me to. When I taught professionally, I taught teams of scientists and then instructional designers. I'm comfortable with all ages and backgrounds.

A Little Bit About Me...

I began tutoring in the sixth grade. We did not have honor courses where I attended, so older students tutored younger students. In college I tutored many subjects to earn money for my tuition. After graduating, I worked in two different school systems as a remedial teacher. I even designed a new remedial reading and spelling program for the one school. From 1991-1998, I worked at a Christian elementary school, where I was a librarian, bookkeeper, and substitute teacher. I have also done private tutoring in Spelling, English, Composition, and Computer. Every child/person should be encouraged to reach the highest level of education possible, because knowledge shapes the future.
Every person can learn, including a tutor. Helping someone find the best method of gaining knowledge takes investigation and intuition on the teacher's part. Together, you can begin a journey to reac ... read more

I started my education with business management and accounting. As I got further in to my coursework, I realized there was more to business than balancing the checkbook and counting inventory. I started to learn about preparing taxes midway through college and realized that not only did like doing taxes, I also enjoyed helping people. As my knowledge of taxation, from the federal down to municipal level, increased I found myself in a position teaching others to become tax preparers. I enjoyed that experience so much because teaching the topics helped me to understand them better myself. In an endeavor to continually expand my own knowledge, I would like to pursue other teaching and tutoring opportunities.
I am somewhat new to teaching, though my lack of tenure does not equate to my enthusiasm. My approach is to first find out what the students know about the topic and what comfort ... read more
