I worked as a substitute teacher for a charter high school in St. Louis, MO directly out of undergrad. I taught most subjects including Biology, Chemistry, Algebra, History and Language Arts. I feel comfortable in my ability to teach most subjects and have no issue working in difficult classrooms as I have grown accustomed to such environments working in St. Louis. Being no stranger to difficult classroom settings, I understand that ideal teaching conditions rarely exist. I enjoy to challenge of encouraging more distracted students to learn, and possess the compassion and patience to work with most students. If a teacher can earn a student's respect, which comes easier for a younger instructor such as myself, then positive reinforcement has a much greater impact on that student's motivation to learn. My experience teaching lends the skill to gain student's trust in confidence allowi

In the past four years as an undergraduate, I tutored in virtually every area of my expertise: English, creative writing, mathematics, and physics. As a tutor in math and physics, I helped students understand both the theoretical concepts and the practical applications that they needed in order to thoroughly grasp the subject. In English and creative writing, I served as an editor on every scale, from helping students create a thesis statement of a manageable size to correction and instruction in grammar and punctuation. Further, as a teaching assistant, I helped students with their general approach to coursework. A student does not benefit from having their teacher do their work. I find that modeling a concept once or twice suffices. After that, a student is best served by having their teacher guide their mental processes so that they become accustomed to the mode of thinking that eithe

My love of mathematics and science has driven me to where I am today. I have earned a BS in chemistry and have just graduated from MSU's medical school. This has provided me with an extensive background in the basic as well as the more complex maths and sciences needed to achieve the successes I have. As an undergraduate majoring in chemistry, I was provided with many opportunities to use my abilities to help those classmates of mine who had questions or needed extra help. During the last 8 years, I have had the opportunity to tutor students in chemistry, basic mathematics, and work with elementary school afterschool program for at risk children. I have extensive experience with research papers and lab reports. Patience, willingness, compassion, and time are key characteristics that I can provide to any child that needs it. I believe in teaching a child in not only the process of

My teaching methods vary depending upon the subject matter and the pupil’s preferences. I enjoy getting to know students and customizing their learning experience to the methods that will best serve them. In the classroom setting, I employ many forms of teaching, including lecture, memorization, demonstration and the Socratic Method when appropriate. I have worked with students from all backgrounds and age levels, and enjoy each student for their own unique personality and potential. I believe that all children can be successful when surrounded by people who care and tools to get them there. As a tutor, I strive to be the most valuable asset in developing the student’s learning skills and their mastery of the subject matter.

I have a very flexible teaching style. The way one person learns will be different from another, therefore, the way you teach one person should be different from another. I am very patient, and will work at the pace of my student. Especially in mathematics, it does no good to move forward for the sake of keeping up. I am also very creative, and work to find new ways of helping my student master the material when they don't understand, instead of simply repeating what I've said. I ask a lot of questions to get to know my student better. Prior to graduating Suma Cume Laude in the School of Education at DePaul University, I served as a tutor, both through the school and privately. Levels ranged from first grade through college. Following graduation, I taught for 6 years in two metropolitan high schools. My favorite part about teaching is working with individual students, helping the

I am very passionate about working with children. I believe that all children have something to offer, and can achieve success if they put their mind to it. There are all types of teaching styles, but I think that hands on learning, and interacting is the best way to understand the material. I also believe that with a positive attitude and encouragement that I can make a difference as a tutor in your child's life. I am a Michigan State University graduate with a degree in Kinesiology and Specialization in Health Promotions. I have experience with volunteer tutoring elementary school children through my sorority Gamma Phi Beta. I prefer tutoring in Math, Science, and Spelling as those are my specialties.
