Fuller Learning. The holistic aproach to tutoring

I can adapt my teaching style to auditory, visual or hands-on type learning. I try to create a relaxed and fun (silly for the little ones) atmosphere where learning will be fun and memorable, because I believe that if you enjoy it - you'll remember it. All students will be given a pre-test prior to instruction so that I can decern if the students problem is one of cognative development or simply gaps in the learning process. I try to help the student relate their learning to real world experiences.

I graduated with a BS in history in 1996. After nearly seven years working for a large communications corporation I returned to college to get my teaching credentials. I completed a years student teaching and have taught middle school and high school at a local private school. At that school I often tutored students, offered help on my own time, and was the monitor of the school's study hall, Homework Club. Since 2009 I have taught adults at a local technical college. I am proud to say I have dedicated my life and time to students of ages 5-62.
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 a ... read more

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...

I am drawn to education by the enjoyment of children and I am often requested as a substitute teacher because of my calm demeanor, patience and kindness with all children. Children and adults learn developmentally; by using their previous knowledge to build new understanding. I believe in helping children realize their potential by supporting them with a comfortable base of knowledge and then giving them challenges that they can successfully work through. In the developmental model kids learn step by step and tutoring provides the invaluable opportunity for individual assessment on which to prepare deliberate and specific instruction to quickly move students toward the excellence of their unique human potential.
As a seeker of truth with an acute interest in human nature, cognition and development, I am naturally drawn to education of today’s children to help construct the foundati ... read more

I come from a family of educators. Whether as students, teachers, trainers, teachers of teachers, or parents, we all see ourselves as educators first and foremost. Personally,my love of teaching came from my love of learning. I have always found the experience of learning to be exhilarating and life enriching. I have discovered that the same joy can be found in helping others figure this out as well. Often the joy of learning has been taken away from children and they have learned to doubt their abilities. I always try to find the way to get through to the individual child I am working with to help them see their abilities and get to that, "I see it now!" moment. I like to teach study tips and organization skills that help them retain the information and their homework. One of my favorite techniques is having the student become the teacher. While helping students succeed scholastically I ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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.
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.

I enjoy working with all learners - no matter the age, child or adult. I enjoy the challenge it brings of figuring out what teaching method works for each individual. In my experience, it takes ingenious and quick thinking to activate the learning potential for some learners. I believe that switching the types of teaching is effective to continue interest on behalf of the learner. In a math example, it is helpful to not work on problems for the entire time. Discovery using hands on concrete examples is often a "fun" and effective break. My desire is for students to learn more than they thought possible.
I began tutoring in high school then in college, I majored in mathematics to pursue a career in teaching. My career took another direction yet I continued my passion for teaching others through tutoring at local non-profits. Last year, I taught 8th grade math at a local public middl ... read more

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.
