A Little Bit About Me...

Some people learn by talking, some tactically by doing, some visually by example. It depends on the student, or I devise a presentation that involves all three ways of presenting the information. I believe that learning and understanding the value of what is being learned is as important as the content.
I am a doer who has shared his knowledge and experience in a variety of ways. When I worked as a photographer and filmmaker, I taught those subjects at many different institutions, from an after-school program for elementary school kids to NYU Graduate School. For many years now, I have worked as a science writer and editor. I mentor many newly minted Chinese scientists and engineers who work for IBM in Beijing, teaching them both English grammar and the proper form and style for peer-reviewed scientific papers they are writing. I developed and taught courses in Communications and T ... read more

I believe I have a natural ability to work with students of all ages. Tutoring and being able to help students understand certain topics is very rewarding for me. I truly enjoy doing helping others. My teaching style is somewhat laid-back, but students know that I expect them to learn to their fullest potential. I believe in using several learning styles in the classroom and being to identify which students require different ways of learning. If something doesn't work in the classroom, I will do what it takes to make each student understand.
I began my tutoring experience in the fall of 2009 with a program called Breakthrough Manchester. It serves underprivileged students in the area who do not have the resources to succeed. They ranged from grade 5 to 8. With Breakthrough I worked one-on-one with students as well as in a classroom setting in which I conducted my own lessons ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a first year teacher, I am using my creative impulse to establish a relationship with my students. I am fostering a love of learning in my classrooms, as well as a desire to learn more about the world. I am someone who looks at the glass as half full; there is never a problem that cannot be fixed or a creative solution to be discovered. Although I am firm when it comes to my policies in the classroom, I also see myself as a confidant for some students who might not have anyone else in their lives.
During my four years at Roger Williams University, I was involved with a number of activities that helped me in my desire to become an English teacher. Volunteering with the Girl Scouts of Rhode Island as a leader, editing my college newspaper and sitting on a number of committees are just a few of the opportunities I had at my college. Now, as a first year teacher, I am using my ... read more

I have taught a wide variety of subjects as a Special Education teacher. I have BS in natural science with a minor in Geology & geography and Secondary Education. I held certification to teach general science and currently certified to teach Biology in California. I have masters in Special Education and certified in Arizona as cross categorical in this area.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a professional writer with 25 year experience in the field and I am also a seasoned tutor. I have been tutoring students in writing papers and preparing for written tests in many subjects — including English, history, social studies, government, psychology, and sociology — since I graduated from Clark University with Honors in English in 1985 and have continued working with middle school, high school, undergraduate and graduate level students since that time. I also have worked with students on SAT, SSAT and TOEFL test preparation in the areas of reading comprehension, writing and speaking (TOEFL).
I love working with middle school children and young adults. I have worked successfully with students from under-served populations as well as international students. One example is my work with an internationally born undergraduate student who I tutored in English literature and wr ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is based first and foremost upon engagement. I feel that it is absolutely critical for the successful instructor of any subject to have a passion for that subject that is evident in the way he or she interacts with students. For myself, there is no higher calling than education- and the benefits that can be reaped through effective mathematics education can easily benefit all other scholastic areas. When a teacher can effectively engage with students in a positive and encouraging manner, the students can benefit through an increased confidence which is the natural result of successful problem solving endeavors.
I am a Massachusetts certified teacher of mathematics for grades 5-12, and have four years combined experience as a teacher and tutor of mathematics and language arts. My experience includes training at the Huntington learning center of Acton Massachusetts ... read more
