Graduate student looking to help students achieve their goals!

I think teaching styles should differ based on the preferred learning style of the student. The teaching style should play on the strengths and preferences of that particular student. That being said, I foster a student-centered approach to learning. This approach encourages the student play an equal, active role in the learning process, rather than a passive role. A cooperative approach is important so the student can feel like he or she is an active and capable participant in learning the material. I also believe in leading by example and allowing the student to use me as a resource for reviewing their work.
I have tutored children off and on since I was in high school. More recently, my time has been spent volunteering with The Giving Tree, where I tutored inner-city children after school and helped organize activities (museums, zoo, etc.) on the weekends. I am currently in the ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I recently graduated with honors from PSU and have a strong desire to work with and help children. I have a passion for literacy and believe it has the power to change lives. I am a single mom of a 14-year-old son and have also volunteered with the African Women’s Coalition to tutor African Refugee children. Working with the children transformed my life and taught me the importance of knowledge.
I am known for my amazing listening skills and empathy. I am a student of Non-violent communication and use it at every opportunity. I love to teach with symbolism and visual techniques. Most of all I find it is important to listen to the child and see how they need to be taught and adjust to their comfort levels. I feel that patience and compassion for different cultures is also key to the student’s success.

More About This Tutor...

I received my Bachelors of Arts degree from Willamette University, where I majored in politics and minored in economics. I chose to work for a Bachelor's of Arts degree because it stresses a strong understanding of all subjects - this is the core of my approach to learning and education. During my senior year of high school I tutored math and science at a middle school for one year, and prior to this spent several years babysitting and assisting elementary school-aged children with their studies. Though my experience is limited to tutoring, it came easily to me and I am confident that I can help others better understand what I have already learned. As a student that has earned consistently high marks and test scores, I am in a great position to do this.
In my own experience, the key to learning has been to find a "critical link:" that is, to figure out an angle that makes sense to ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I believe every child is curious in nature and loves to learn. Sometimes, a child will begin to lose interest and subsequently fall behind at school because he / she encounters some stumbling blocks in the learning process. My approach is to help the child identify and remove these stumbling blocks. The child will then be able to regain his / her interest in the subject and be back on the track to success. I have a special talent in reigniting a child’s interest in learning. I strongly believe that children can only realize their full potential if they are interested in what they are doing. I love tutoring because it empowers children to succeed in their education and to improve their self-esteem.

I am most familiar with conversation, as a means of relating information and testing understanding. I think that a through understanding in any subject comes about when a student can recognize the important concepts, and how they relate to each other, and speak those concepts in words which they understand--while gaining the vocabulary and proficiency as each subject demands. Most of all, I am an interested learner, in a variety of subjects, and I am excited to share my interest with others. I have a good sense of when I am being understood, and when I am not. I ask for questions, both so that I can explain myself, and so that that subject might be brought to greater depth.
My undergraduate experience has given me both breadth and depth in academic subjects. The curriculum I've studied at St. John's includes 4 years of language (2 Ancient Greek, 2 French); 3 years of laboratory sci ... read more

I love teaching and relating to people. I know from personal experience that one good teacher can change the way a student views an entire subject. I am easy-going, friendly, and patient. I believe that all students have great potential and should be given every opportunity to fulfill it.
Having graduated from a liberal arts university, I know that being well-rounded is very important in life. I graduated from Whitworth with a BS in Math and minors in Spanish and Computer Science, so I know what it is like to learn complex subjects. I have tutored my peers along with students younger and older than myself, as a mathematician and a Spanish speaker. I led a Spanish Live Lab for two years and informally tutored math for four. Also, I have a great deal of grammatical knowledge from writing research papers in math and computer science and Spanish.

I am enthusiastic and encouraging and I believe that a positive attitude and self-confidence can get you anywhere. When working with students and children I try to create a positive, encouraging, relaxed learning environment that allows students to believe in themselves and their ability to learn. I am laidback and patient and believe every child can be successful if encouraged to work hard and believe in their own abilities.
My four years at Willamette University taught me to think critically and communicate well. I was expected to have an outstanding level of written communication skills and I honed these skills throughout my education, especially while researching and writing my senior thesis. I have excellent grammatical and verbal skills and a deep love of language and all things foreign. My International Studies major allowed to me to study a broad range of subjects including ... read more

In order to put myself through my college education, I worked nearly full time as a tutor throughout the duration of my college career, continuing past graduation. Academic-minded, I graduated at the top of my class as a valedictorian candidate which is an affirmation of my ability to use critical thinking and creativity with success. In my tutoring experiences, I specialized with students that had severe learning disabilities ranging from ages 6-18 in subjects including mathematics, science, Spanish, English, social studies and history as well as test preparation and study skills.
Teaching students of all levels is a passion of mine. From my many years of experience around children, I have found that I do not have just one teaching style. Each child is unique and therefore the approach I take with each child is unique. I have had the greatest success in trying different learning m ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Since earning my degree in Math in 1984, I have worked in the Software development field. The last 15 years I have been an independent consultant. I have 2 college age children and 2 elementary age twins. My college age children have both taken math through calculus so I have had many opportunities to tutor them over the years in advanced math. I also did formal math tutoring all through college. I am also a very good writer and would feel comfortable tutoring writing and reading. I have taught Sunday school for 4 years so I do have experience with creating curriculum and teaching in a class setting.
I have always loved to teach and have been told by my children that I should have been a teacher. When it comes to math I have found that most people who have trouble with math have simply missed some fundamental along the way. It is extremely rewarding to figure out what that is and f ... read more

I love to teach people of all ages, developing great relationships. I am an interactive teacher, in that I believe in hands-on activities directed to that person's style of learning, determined through my experience in psychology and counseling. Thinking of learning as an adventure, I utilize discussion, creativity and a holistic approach with firm parameters believing they will enable the learner to feel empowered by the knowledge they receive. There are no failures in learning, only opportunities to challenge oneself and rise to success.
Teaching has been my focus for the past 25 years, resulting in a bachelors degree in Psychology and a masters degree in Classical Archaeology and Art. I was an Assistant Curator of Ancient Art, teaching the university's Honors courses in Classical Studies and giving numerous lectures.

My teaching philosophy is first to have the knowledge for the subjects. Then, I think you need to understand the youth learning styles and to find out where they are with their knowledge and then begin from there. Certainly some refreshing maybe necessary, but most of the time the youth is behind so the teaching would focus on helping them reach their potential and moving forward.
During the summers of college I was trained in Project Read and organizational skills. I then tutored youth from grade school to high school in math and science from grade school math to algebra and geometry the same for science. I worked with the teachers to determine when assignments were due and worked on planning with the students to plan out how and when to work on projects to complete them on time. Also, from 2000 to 2007 I was a youth advocate which involved teaching career readiness classes, tutor ... read more

I enjoy teaching. There is something about the educational process, transfer of knowledge to students, that I have always found satisfying. It has been my experience that learning is an active process rather than a passive one. Thus I have seldom “taught” students anything. Rather I have enabled the students to learn. My teaching and curriculum development experience provides me with an understanding of the needs of community colleges students. I therefore have tailored my teaching techniques to ensure the success of those students. By and large my teaching evaluations over the years show that students have appreciated my ability to explain difficult concepts and the interest I take in the progress of the students.
I have a PhD in Zoology from The Ohio State University and over the past 25 years I have taught at Columbus Technical Institute and Portland State University. ... read more
