I would say that my teaching style is very interactive. Anyone can give instructions but I love feedback from a one on one situation as well as a group environment. I base alot of my instruction on analogies; when a person can relate an experience or another word to a term being tought, their understanding is broadened and 99% of the time embedded in the longterm memory. That to me is not only developing the ability to draw on a built up knowledge base, but also broadens ones ability to convey what has been learned.
I have always wanted to teach. When I was a child I would round up the kids in my neighborhood and make them do lessons that I created. I do remember they did not like that. I went to college and earned a BS in Biology always knowing that I would eventually teach the sciences. I was an excellent student and have always found pride in myself on my ability to communi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love all sorts of positive ideals of teaching, especially when the teacher gives students the power to teach themselves by relating everyday experiences, such as sights and sounds with different lesson planners. I understand how the human works in a classroom, some students will grasp concepts because of their up bringing and the results of having a balance home. Others will sometimes wander off, mentally because of attention. There are other cases, but I believe every child needs a fair chance to prove themselves to their own self. What makes a great teacher is their way to "rhyme" thought with lesson with application."

Working with kindergarden through Adulthood, I work with a student to help them get to where they can be their best. Additionally, it is always my mission to teach the student self confidence and basic study skills in order for them to compete with their classmates or to compete with others similarly situated. I work with students one on one or in a small classroom setting. I get the children actively involved in the learning process and I help them to learn how to conquer their study weaknesses.

A Little Bit About Me...

Throughout my educational career, I have always had a passion for teaching math and science. Knowledge of the subjuects come easy to me and I have been able to successfully convey the various concepts to other students and peers. I have a researcher background where I have developed my technical writing skills. I have taught and tutored environmental sciences, math, and history.
Enabling a student to percieve an idea or to help them solve a problem is my passion. Using thinking outside of the box methods, I open up a new way of percieving concepts. I love to teach based on hands on methods. I truly believe it's the best way to learn. Therefore, I try to incorporate this method through creative measures. Repitition is the father of learning and as such I also teach the student the best studying techniques that will continue to make the student successful after our meeting is ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

The most important qualities of outstanding educators are experience, creativity, and patience. Each quality needs to be developed or tested by time in order to increase in its overall effectiveness. Teachers who can consistently employ all three qualities throughout their careers will be successful educators. It will take a lot of effort and hard work as an educator to successfully integrate the qualities of experience, creativity, and patience into their teaching styles. The effort and hard work will result in the development and establishment of those important qualities within teachers. In turn, the qualities will help those outstanding teachers to continue working hard with unquestionable effort.
Through the course load of my college career my studies also incorporated normal life span development, personality development, abnormal development, prevention, group behavior, ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I graduated from Temple University with a B.S. degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education. I taught Preschool, Kindergarten and First Grade. My Early Childhood and Elementary Education Degree has afforded me the opportunity to teach various subject matters to children having a wide range of learning abilities. I find teaching to be both rewarding and gratifying when I see children grow socially and academically because of my efforts.
My initial approach is to ascertain exactly where the student stands prior to starting any course work. Students can be and are easily frustrated with work that is either beyond their ability or more advanced. Frustration can be either eliminated or reduced when students have a better understanding of their work. When teaching Math, my experiences have also taught me that younger students are very hands on and tend to absorb concepts quicke ... read more

I have taught Special Education for 26 years and third grade for 6. I have tutored using the Reading Assist program and various other methods for reading.

I just enjoy helping people find solutions and answers. Most of the time I like to just ask question and see what the students already know, once I got a good unterstand we can go from their. But basicly, it trying to find that balance that the student wants, whether they can be pared up or me and them do a one on one approach.

As an undergraduate at Muhlenberg College, I had the opportunity to serve as a peer tutor in mathematics to incoming freshmen. I enjoyed the experience of helping other students succeed. I have a bachelor's degree in Physical Science which allowed me to gain knowledge in the fields of mathematics and physics. I decided to further my education in the field of Applied Mathematics. I tutored for one full year as a teacher's assistant at Delaware State University. I had the opportunity to tutor students on a one-on-one basis and as a whole class. This was a positive experience because I got to see the student's growth throughout the semester.
After having the opportunity to tutor one-on-one and as a whole class, I have discovered that each student learns in a unique way. Some of the students were visual learners, while others needed more tactile experiences. Other students benef ... read more

My teaching style is a direct, hands-on approach where I believe in using everyday scenarios to make a subject enjoyable to the student. I also believe in allowing the student to interrupt the teaching process at the moment they have a question as opposed to having the student wait until the end of the lesson and have the question leave their thought process. As the father of five children, I am teaching on a constant basis and I believe that the connection between the teacher and the student must be solid and trustworthy in order for the information to be successfully retained. I firmly believe that anyone can learn provided that the professional teaching them has the ability to read and decipher the emotions expressed by the student.

Since my years as an undergraduate student, one of my passions has always been giving back to the community through tutoring and mentoring. Over the past eleven years, I have tutored countless times, particularly in research paper and essay writing (in various disciplines), literature, and even mathematics. I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Education and seek to continue giving back in this way!
As an Education Director at a Boys & Girls Club, I taught in the non-traditional sense, through after school literature-enhancing programming of various kinds. I instructed K-12 students, and even parents and staff, on many different levels of achievement and ability, so I am very acquainted with diverse populations and accomodating their educational needs through creative tools and approaches.

I believe all children can learn by using different styles of learning. It is very important to find the best teaching style for each child you tudor. I will work on each childs learning style. Some methods I use are manipulitives, games, flashcards with either words or numbers, and key words to remember.
I have taught Kindergarten, first grade, second grade, fourth grade,fifth grade, sixth grade and tutoring small groups and individually. My most experience was in first and second grade. I have also served on both reading and math councils. I have trained teachers how to teach new math programs.
