I engage with a new student for a relationship. I inquire regarding their expectations, concerns, fears, and hopes for tutoring. I then explain my tutoring philosophy. Then, I ask for a diagnosis of how well they are performing the course material subject, and how I can help them best in the first session. I have tutored university, college, and high school students for 15 years with great success. I can help you any math from basic math, algebra, trigonometry, calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, or even business math or applied math.

I have always loved learning. Reading and writing have been two of my primary hobbies since childhood. Still, when I was in elementary and high school, there were times when I felt that the educational system was lacking. I am not alone in this experience, and I have observed countless students flourish with a level of personal and individual care that is unavailable in a standard classroom environment. As a result of my ardor for both teaching and learning, while earning a master of divinity with an emphasis in counseling, I have spent my evenings tutoring professionally. I have earned certifications in math, English grammar, reading and composition, ACT and SAT test preparation, and organizational study skills. I have had the privilege of working with a large variety of students. I have helped young children learn how to read for the first time, and mentored innumerable high

By training and trade, I'm a professional counselor. I've worked in school, mental health, and private settings as both an academic advisor and as an individual, group, and family therapist. At the college level, I've taught student success, time management, test-taking, goal-setting, communications, psychology, and business courses. I have also taught group social skills and motivation workshops at the elementary and high school levels. I'd be happy to tutor students of any age in English, writing, grammar and composition, public-speaking, history, or social sciences. And I'm more than willing to act as a learning coach, tailoring "lessons" or academic exercises to your student's needs. My teaching/coaching style is structured, organized, yet relaxed. I believe it's important to get to know the individual and his/her learning style before creating a personalized education plan

I enjoy teaching and learning from students. I feel everyone has something to share and assist with understanding different beliefs, cultures and ideas. I strive to teach to all modalities. I look at and present different ideas that might make sense. When a student understands the whys they can understand and look at the how to aspect.Teaching should be student driven allowing them to take in information and process. Then as a teacher I can reinforce and guide then to success.I believe that everyone can learn at their level of knowledge. I never give up on any student. I became a para and went on to get my teaching degrees.Initially I received a BS in Human Services(This degree dealt with ethics, social work, counseling, and confidential issues) I felt these were issues as a teacher that would be beneficial. After working as a substitute for 2 years,I applied and was offered a Special Ed

I wanted very much to teach at the Liberal Arts College level but was unable to secure a full-time, permanent position. In pursuit of this goal, I have completed an MS in Physics, all the coursework necessary for a MS in Mathematics, an MA in Philosophy, and I am working to complete my PhD in philosophy. Over the last 10 years I have taught at every level from high school to university, and have frequently tutored students at all of these levels. I have never taught a subject, physics, mathematics or philosophy, at a level that was beyond the abilities of any student who really wanted to master the material, and I don't think I'd be interested at teaching at that level. Many students are not able to master these subjects in school, but quite often it is not due to a lack of desire on their part, but instead a lack of sufficient preparation due most often to poor prior instruction.

I believe that if I can understand something, then everyone else can. I help students by convincing them that they can understand to build up confidence. Students and I work at what needs to be memorized such as formulas and basic concepts, learning to apply and work with these basics step by step, and at the same time, as I watch, strengthening weak areas. I often times use diagrams as needed and supply additional material. Some years ago a friend told me that volunteer help was really needed for the adult GED program in our local area. I decided to give up time for two hours a week. When I begin the program it was really sad to see someone struggling over simple arithmetic problems, I was glad to help then. I also get a feeling of accomplishment when students show understanding and that understanding is reflected by an increase in homework scores and test scores. I have earned two ba

To effectively teach any subject I first take the time to clearly organize my thoughts on the subject, decide upon what objectives/information that I would like/need to convey to

As an educator, one of my goals is to help all students realize and meet their potential. I have worked closely in non-traditional schools with students that have diverse needs. Through the use of hands-on / minds-on activities, cooperative learning, an integrated curriculum and the use of technology I beleive all childern can accomplish this. Tutoring offers students an opportunity to recieve individual assistance that could make a difference in their lives. As a recent graduate of the Intial Professional Teacher Education Program at the Univeristy of Colordao Denver, I have had the opportunity to learn and implement the latest strategies and techniques in elementary education. Currently I am completing my Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis in technology , anticipated graduation date July 2005. Through this I have learned the importance of integrating tec

During my tenure at Sillim English Academy in Korea, I was challenged with a myriad of diverse students placed in a unique learning environment requiring effective communication, motivation, mentoring, and flexibility. This teaching experience enabled me to advance critical educational skills in numerous directions. My organizational and presentation skills have been challenged and strengthened through this beneficial and rewarding teaching experience. I believe I possess the necessary skills and experience which would be an asset to your program and would provide your students with a unique perspective on history. My true passion is teaching history. I understand that students are required to take history courses and that some students may not have an interest in it as a subject. Furthermore, some students may be interested in history, but might struggle with certain aspects of history.
