My comments on tutoring Testing Skills : Having taught for Kaplan, I can help students deal with test anxiety and help them improve their chances when they do not know how to do a problem.

I enjoy teaching and working with children. While I believe that all children can learn, they do so in their own ways and at their own pace. It is the tutor’s responsibility to ensure that the student(s) understand the material. It is important to show students how one idea builds on the last. I will help your child learn the material in his/her own way. I consider myself to be patient, non-judgmental, and knowledgeable of the subject matter. I truly believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. I am very proud of the kind letters of thanks that I have received from parents of some of my students this year.
As an engineer and I have taught planners and engineers how to use software to do calculations. I have taught GRE preparation for Kaplan (analytical and verbal reasoning) both to small classes of 3 to 7 ... read more

Education is So Important. Let Me Help

I have been a teacher for 40 years. I retired because family care-giving required my full attention. My studies prepared me to teach and my experience prepared me to meet the needs of each student.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a former attorney, currently in work-release. The undercapitalization of my practice kept me from being able to withstand a series of family financial disasters, and I stole to make ends meet. For this, I take complete personal responsibility. I have been a good, hard worker for my entire life, and I respectfully ask for a second chance. Bonded to $10,000.00.

Extremely patient, cool tutor wanting to help you

Seven years of experience as a case manager with Healthy Families, where we helped teach families for to be better parents and to become self-sufficient. Besides being extremely organized, I am very patient and try to reach everyone on whatever level they are currently on. I don't just shove a bunch of information at you and hope you get it. Instead, I build on what strengths you already have, and show you how to use your unique, individual learning style when I am tutoring you. My strengths have always been writing, spelling, and all things related to Language Arts/English Comp. Also, I have always been pretty successful at test taking and study techniques.
Extremely patient, but organized. Teach students how to be organized, how to properly prepare for tests and to be able to recall information when needed.

ALL STUDENTS WELCOME!

I have been a self-employed Tutor since April, 2006. Special needs and home schooled students are welcomed. Nothing makes me happier than when I see the smiles on the faces of my students when they succeed rather than fail. I assist all students in skill building and creating a life-long love of learning. I provide on-going feedback to parents and am happy to work with the teachers of my students.
Whenever I can, I like to be very hands-on in my teaching my students. For example, once I was teaching my class about trees. I had them go outside and collect samples of bark which had fallen on the ground. Then we created a gigantic mural in my classroom and glued the pieces of bark to a tree we had drawn.

My comments on tutoring Testing Skills : There are specific strategies in approaching tests and exams, both multiple choice, short answer, and essay. Mastering these strategies can make the difference between a mediocre grade and a superior score. Learn how to improve your current level of competence.

Starting as an English major, and working as a tutor for Huntington Learning Centers, I have always loved working with students of all levels in the English language - in all its facets: from grammar to style. At a time when proper use of the language is increasingly rare (but required to master tests) it is a special interest of mine to promote successful language arts skills and strategies in students. Good writing can be persuasive, informative, or entertaining, and each has its particular components. Having been a professional writer, editor, tutor and teacher, I am intimately aware of what it takes to excel in each.
Having been tutor at Huntington Learning centers and a private tutor, I excel at one on one tutoring relationships. It is essential to understand the level of competence of the student and moving from that to gradual improvement of skills. Each student is an i ... read more

Throughout college I was a tutor with a Learning Center. I worked with children in grades K-12. At this center, we helped build reading and math skills individually and in groups. I was also a private tutor for a high school student. Together we improved her study skills and organization. I assisted her with writing assignments, projects, and daily homework. I also worked in the Camden County school system as a substitute teacher and secretary. At Mercer University, I earned my BA in Communications and Theater Arts, and an English minor. I also hold certifications through GACE (Georgia Assessments for the Certification of Educators) in Early Childhood Education and Middle Grades Language Arts.
The most important element of achieving success in school is self confidence. The way I help build that in children is by being extremely positive, supportive, and full of praise. I observe ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that my instructional abilities combined with my solid analytical leadership, interpersonal skills, and work ethic would greatly benefit your educational program. I believe that education is the key to success for young adult students. As a teacher, I will aim to provide a stimulating learning environment that encourages students to trust their own opinions. I hope to motivate students in ascertaining their inner strengths and abilities by discovering what truly inspires them, while fostering confidence in order for students to realize their full potential. Through my past experiences in coaching and developing, the method of facilitating rather than dictating to be a highly beneficial style of management and a style used successfully as a teacher.

I love teaching and the instant gratification I receive when I have made a difference in a child's life. I believe that every child has the potential to succeed in all of their academic classes and often need techniques to assist them with their progression in their courses, using the word can't is not an option because you can do anything we have to figure out how you learn bed.
I currently have a BS in Psychology and a MA in Counseling/Mental Health. My thirst for knowledge led me to a career in education where I taught high school students social science for the last 3 years. During the past three years, I have taught Advanced Placement Psychology, Psychology and Sociology. I have experience tutoring students in Social Science and English.
