More About This Tutor...

Over the past year, I served as an Americorps volunteer in an inner city charter school with an emphasis on character education. I worked one on one with students helping them with math, reading, and science skills. I assisted in classroom teaching of mini lessons too. I also helped with their after-school program, I also created supplemental study guides and multimedia software to help students to improve their study skills. Tutoring has been rewarding, because it has increased my interest in the field of education. Subsequently, I am seeking certification in Biology 7-12th. In the interim, my goal is to further supplement my experiences of teaching through participation in tutoring.
I enjoy teaching children at all levels. I find that children learn at different speeds and by different means. So, to be truly effective you have to present the information to the broadest base of ... read more

I believe in a constructivist approach to education. Stusents come with prior knowledge of topics. My goal is to get those students to connect prior knowledge with new information. I also believe that there are mltiple ways that students learn. They can have multiple intelligences in several areas, such as artistic, kinesthetic, or visual and spatial. My challenge is to assess each student's learning style and then design activties that work to that style. EVery student can learn, and my goal is to facilitate that learning.
I returned to school in 2007 to pursue a career in education. In several corporate positions, I was responsible for training new employees in various store operations. I have volunteered as a teacher in my church and taught Sunday School at the middle school level. During my courses and student teaching, I utilized many hands-on and inquiry-based tools ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am passionate about encouraging young people to achieve and surpass their full potential academically and personally. My experience as a Young Life Leader has given me the joy of mentoring high school students for 5 years. I have taught students ranging from different levels of Gardner's Multiple Intelligences as well as varying socioeconomic status. I welcome the challenge of meeting the educational needs of individual students. I believe that all students can be successful in math and it is my desire to see them achieve that level of success to gain self-confidence. I prefer the discovery method in my teaching style because it gives students a foundation and allows them to build upon it. I strive to develop a mutual respect for all of my students because I am a firm believer that they will not care how much I know, unless they know how much I care.

Curiosity and interest drive student motivation, where it is my job to help develop this foundation. I draw many pictures to help students relate to the content and be able to laugh.

A Little Bit About Me...

Completing a double major in Computer Science and Mathematics in less than four years took dedication and excellent study skills. So far, I have only tutored people in Calculus, and Physics, but I am comfortable with Differential Equations, Discrete Math, freshman Chemistry and Biology, and pretty much anything Computer Science related at the undergraduate level.
I am excellent at breaking things down and making them easy to remember. Relating the subject material to something the learner can understand is key. I am very patient and will take the time to learn how to help each student in the most productive way I can.

More About This Tutor...

I would describe my teaching style as hands on and according to multiple learning styles. I understand that students learn best when they have the option of working with material objects. I also realize that students all learn in different ways and therefore I try to teach to each student's learning style. If a student doesn't understand it one way, I try to teach it another way so that he/she can learn it.
In 2001, I graduated from IUP with a degree in elementary education. I substitute taught around the South Hills of Pittsburgh for a year, then moved to Virginia, where I taught fifth grade for four years. The first three years were in a public school and the fourth in a private school. I taught all subject areas and skill level abilities.

A Little Bit About Me...

I had been a teacher for 12 years engaging in a multitude of learning styles and methodology. I spent 6 years serving as principal at all levels. I was Director of Education for two years and then served as Superintendent of Schools for two districts for a total of 15 years. During that time I never lost connection with teaching, mentoring students from all levels of education and continued to teach in the classroom at least once a week. I was an adjunct professor for two years at Waynesburg University in Pennsylvania. I retired in 2009 to travel and photograph the country, while living in and RV. I miss teaching and have sought a position with your entity hoping to tutor while traveling America.

More About This Tutor...

In the past, I have tutored other students, usually my peers, off and on, and it never fails to provide satisfaction at helping others learn. As a 2009 graduate of Allegheny College, I earned a BS in Biology with a minor in French. I served as a "Peer Leader" for incoming freshman, where I acted in the capacity as a teaching assistant and made myself available to the students if they needed help writing papers, doing research, or with any other academic aspect not directly related to that class. I have helped with English grammar, writing papers, and informally, I have aided others with Biology and French.
I have a love of learning, and there is nothing better than teaching others to love it, too. I am very patient, organized, and considerate of your child's needs, learning pace, and abilities. I believe that anyone can do well if they have the proper guidance and help. I've ... read more

While studying at Bradley University, I worked with the CHOICES program tutoring local disadvantaged High School students in core curriculum: History, English, Math, Science, etc. As a French tutor, I volunteered to help my fellow classmates learn the French language. After obtaining my Bachelor of Arts degree in French and Spanish from Bradley University in May of 2006, I continued to provide educational instruction as an AmeriCorps KEYS volunteer. As a team of AmeriCorps members, we developed a grant-winning curriculum that benefited underprivileged youth, provided one-on-one instruction to struggling elementary students in Math and Reading, counseled at-risk youth, and taught lessons at a day camp for disadvantaged children. In addition to my service in AmeriCorps, my primary project as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Ukraine was to teach English at a secondary school 18 hours per wee ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

This particular position interests me because I struggled with math through middle school and understand the frustration it can create for a student. Mathematics is now my strongest subject and I chose the profession of accounting to utilize those strengths. During my time at college, I helped other students with their studies in math and business, specifically statistics and quantitative analysis. Although this teaching experience was with college level students, I have held a summer job working with 8-12 year olds for the past four years. When I finish my Master’s Degree, I may consider teaching at an institution such as CCAC because I enjoy helping others with their education.
As a result of my post-high school studies in mathematics and business, I feel I'm suited to tutor people in those subjects. Statistics, quantitative methods, and analytical methods are my strongest s ... read more

As a Grove City College graduate, with honors, I earned more than a teaching degree. A striving for excellence has permeated my teaching experiences whether as a classroom teacher, tutor, or homeschooling teacher. The past 27 years of teaching experiences have included all subjects from Kindergarten through eighth grade, and even most general high school subjects. I have also spent 7 years working with McGraw-Hill companies with their textbooks. The majority of my teaching proficiency has been gained from a one-on-one relationship, which I believe is the best approach to academic success for the student.
I enjoy finding the best learning approach for each individual student and watching as he or she discovers the joy of learning. Once success and confidence is gained, learning becomes a positive, enlightening experience. I also believe that creativity lends itself in promoting lear ... read more

I believe that every person is born with a special gift. I believe that it is my role as a teacher to help a child discover those gifts and utilize them for the better good. This is what I will base my teaching philosophy around. Being a science teacher, I will rely on the scientific method. I will teach in a way that compels children to rethink their previous experiences and expand on those experiences with new meaningful ideas. I have always been extremely fascinated by biology and science; I would love to transform my passion into a real life room of fun and imagination. It is my dream to set my future classroom in ordinance to these beliefs. I hope to inspire and motivate my students to develop a passion for learning as I have.
I am a recent graduate earning two degrees, a bachelor’s degree in biology as well as elementary education. I completed my student teaching in ... read more
