More than willing to pass on my knowledge, I pledge to do my best in delivering the information in a concise manner that gets straight to the point. Experience: Standardized Testing Scores: ACT - 35 SAT - 2300 SAT II Math II - 800 SAT II Chemistry - 800 SAT II Biology - 790 5's on all AP Tests listed above. I've been tutoring for the better part of two years. Through that time, I have gained an earnest understanding of what it means to be an effective mentor. I stand by my belief that knowing the information and teaching the information are two entirely different things. When I tutor, I use techniques that get directly to the heart of the information. I primarily tutor ACT/SAT prep, Math to Calculus III, and all the Sciences. I am al

Logical lecturing periodically within explanations poised by pupils based on material being studied.

I am easy-going, friendly, considerative, and I'm never late for an appointment with a student that needs help with their assignments. My goal is to provide children with the best education possible, and support them when they need it. I believe I have the strength, and possibility of being the best tutor for your child.

As a seasoned teacher I have accomplished many attributes. I have earned a bachelor's in Music and a masters in Special ed. In addition I believe that teaching is not like any other profession, it challenges you in every way possible from building your character, wisdom, patience, intuitiveness and knowledge. Teacher’s are not only given the challenge of building their own self esteem, but also the students in their classroom. I believe that out of all the experience I have had the most important one has been establishing a rapport with the student and giving them the confidence they need so they can pursue each subject area. I believe teacher's are given the opportunity to improve the student's individual character, improve the students knowledge intake, and when the student actually gets what the teacher is trying to teach that is the most rewarding experience for the student an

I believe a great teacher needs to have proper skills and talents for teaching. I learned a lot while growing up from a great teacher; my mother. My mother was a teacher for thirty years teaching elementary grades. I learned a great teacher needs to be respectful, patient and to be able to illustrate the lesson in an easy, simple way. I try to provide simple analogies for each concept. This enables the student to grasp the concept easier and faster. In addition I help my students to learn better by asking few questions about the concept. This will help them to truly understand the lesson by using their analytical thinking. I have been fascinated with tutoring for the past three years ago. I began tutoring one of the professors at the University of IL at Chicago in a foreign language. Since then, I have been tutoring various age groups from eight years old to fifty four years old. I recei

I have mostly taught university-level students but I have occasionally worked with high school students. I would like the opportunity to work with all age groups. In my opinion, students learn in many different ways so it is useful to approach difficult concepts in practical ways. I like to use visual media when teaching (films, excerpts from relevant programs, still images, powerpoint) to reiterate main points. I like to work closely with students and believe this type of communication is what allows each student to fully understand what's expected in the assignment. I believe providing a comfortable and easy going approach to tutoring so that learning is enjoyable. I am honest, patient, and nice. I have taught university-level art history courses for the last 7 years. These courses include training in writing, presentation, and speaking in addition to their emphasis on the histo

I have been through a series of career paths and throughout the past few years have realized that I have a great passion for teaching. I have earned a bachelors degree in Health Science from Benedictine University and would say that it was a very well-rounded curriculum and more over, I have gained the experience of being a leader and a teacher through my experiences there. I excelled in the areas of both science and math and therefore was selected to be an instructional assistant for both chemistry and my statistics class. For the past few years I have been able to keep up my skills by tutoring privately in the areas of both math and science but would like to reach out furthermore and extend that help to all youth around the area. Words cannot express my love and passion for teaching, I would say it is a profession that requires a great deal of patience and understanding but the payoff

We all have certain teaching approaches that best suit our characters and personality styles. We must also have the flexibility to adjust to multiple, individualized learning styles. One strategy I personally employ is that of discussion and debate. Given a stimulating topic and good guiding questions, this can be a very effective way to have students develop arguments, challenge each other and think critically. It also gets a wider variety of students involved in the learning process and speaking during class. I also am a strong proponent of student-centered learning, whereby students take ownership of their own learning and speak as much as the teacher. Specifically, this might mean that students are responsible for summarizing or presenting certain material. This personal ownership, along with having to teach, typically results in better retention for the students. Students may presen

I attended Whitney Young High School and began tutoring while in school as a part of my volunteer service with the National Honor Society. I continued to teach while in college, and in fact, worked as a tutor part time. After college, I moved to Japan for one year and worked as an English teacher. When I returned to the United States, while attending law school, I was employed as a tutor for the LLM students. I really love kids and I enjoy working with them. Throughout my years of experience, I have worked with students of all ages, from pre-school to adults. I understand that each person has their own unique style of learning, and I pride myself on being able to reach each student.

As a University of Notre Dame graduate, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I have earned two bachelor degrees, BA in Economics and BS in Mathematics, and a master's degree, MA in Secondary Education. All three degrees have enabled me to effectively teach high school for fifteen years at three outstanding high schools: Saint Ignatius College Prep (Chicago, IL - 6 years,) Cardinal Gibbons (Raleigh, NC - 7 years,) and Brother Rice (Chicago, IL - 2 years.) I have also tutored students in mathematics and SAT/ACT prep. I love teaching and tutoring and have grown in this love over my fifteen years as a professional educator. My goal is to support, guide, and inspire your child such that she/he will achieve academic success now and in the future.

I have been teaching for 25 years. I began as a high-school teacher, taught grade school and special education, and then spent 20 years as a university professor of English and philosophy. I started tutoring as a graduate student and have been doing it on and off now for 20 years. I like working with grade-school students, but I like best a variety of teaching situations. That for me truly represents the challange of teaching. Only a diversity of students can bring learning to itself, reveal the demands of cognition for what they are. As a philosophy PhD this interests me very much.
