My comments on tutoring Entrance Exams : I have been coaching students accomplish passing scores on entrance exams such as the SSAT, PSAT, SAT, ACT, NLN, TEAS,and HESI for many years. My students accomplish their goals whether they are taking the test for the first time or need to improve scores on a retake.

I have a B.A. in Speech and Communications and a Masters Degree in Speech and Language. I especially love working with special needs children with learning disabilities and language deficits. I have experience in assessment and therapy for Articulation, Language, Autism, and Dyslexia for children and adults. During my tenure with the Palm Beach School District I was able to assist many middle school students with special needs to complete their IEP goals and be mainstreamed to regular classes. My philosophy for working with young children is that learning strategies are most effective when they are interactive and fun. I have been trained to use auditory, visual, tactile/kinesthetic strategies as well as adult learning concepts. Prior to becoming a tutor with a major national organization, I was engaged in training professionals in technical writing skills and computers, includ ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is very progressive. I utilize Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences quite a bit. I try my best with individualized testing to identify the students learning style. Then once this is identified, I can teach using the way that the student learns the most effectively.An aha light goes off and they understand the material now with a proud smile. To me, the best part of teaching is when the student starts to understand the material!
I am a very reliable, dependable, caring and compassionate person and I have a very strong and diverse educational background. I am very strong in Reading and English. I also have taught ESOL and GED in the School System and have a great deal of patience with that! I am very knowledgeable of study skills. I also am an ADHD coach and Life Coach and therefore have many methods and tips for being successful with ADD or ADHD or life coaching ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe all students can improve and achieve. I think a tutor must bring enthusiasm and skill to the table when working with students. A tutor must be encouraging and have a refined set of social skills to relate to administrators, parents, and the student. I strive to make all students wiser and more confident as they complete each tutoring session.
I am a licensed and certified school psychologist in private practice. Currently, I am supervising 8 teachers for an SAT company and also teaching the Verbal component of this course. I have several years tutoring in Spanish as well as coursework completed at the U of Ct. I have tutored all subjects for over 20 years (except triganometry and calculus).

A Little Bit About Me...

I graduated with honors from Florida State University with a BA in Communication. I am qualified to tutor in any subject pertaining to English, such as basic classroom and test preparation, but my specialty is in reading, spelling and grammar. My schedule is flexible and I look forward to helping your child realize their full potential.
I am comfortable working with students of any age and skill level and possess a high level of patience. My experience comes from teaching martial arts. My focus is not only on ensuring that the student learns the techniques but on developing discipline, self-confidence, and respect for themselves and others. It is most important that the students learn to believe in themselves.

I graduated from Stetson University in 2005 with a major in Psychology and a minor in Education. While attending Stetson University I observed in all levels and exceptionalities within the Volusia County schools and completed a semester of student teaching. I also volunteered at DeLand Middle School where I tutored an eighth grade student, and at McGinnis Elementary School where I tutored first and second grade ESOL students. I then attended the English Nanny and Governess school and received my certification as a Governess. During the 2006-2007 school year I taught ninth grade World History at Spruce Creek High School in Volusia County. My schedule consisted of two honors classes, two co-taught ESE classes, and one regular class. I am now working as a Governess for twin boys.

I have always enjoyed being around children and working with them. I believe that each student has the potential to master any concept he or she is struggling with through hard work and determination. I tutor with enthusiasm and encourage students to ask as many questions as they can when they are unclear about a concept. I also believe in the importance of a positive attitude and reinforce that with my students. My goal is to create a unique teaching style that fits each student individually, based on their personality and specific way of learning.
As an Emory graduate, I have always worked hard in order to attain my goals. I have earned a BS degree in anthropology and human biology, and a minor in science, culture, and society. As an anthropology major, I had the opportunity to study various aspects of human nature including biology, culture, linguistics, and medicine. My ... read more

More About This Tutor...

For the past 5-6 years I have been a tutor with two different students, both of whom are now beginning high school. Even though my educational backround is in Psychology and Interpersonal Communication, I worked with both students on reading, grammer, vocabulary, social studies, as well as some mathematics. I also worked for the Palm Beach County School District as an substitite aide for a boy with autism. I assisted him in all of his classes on a day to day basis, helping him stay focused on each particular subject. Due to my backround in General History subjects, the Florida Department of Education has declared me eligible to obtain a temporary teaching certificate in Social Science, grades K-12.
My teaching approach is to be stern, but patient. Children need to be able to come to their own conclusions, whether in math, writing, or comprehension. This helps the children fe ... read more

I feel that the relationship formed between tutor and student is as important as the information being taught. A sincere concern for people is the foundation for successful and influential teaching. I gladly spent extra time planning an English lesson if it allowed the student to connect better with the material. To keep interest levels high, I would teach a lesson and then create practice exercises around one of the student's favorite hobbies such as cooking, surfing, or music. These exercises aided comprehension and retention while providing a fun and enjoyable learning experience. I believe in challenging students, giving them the tools they need to meet that challenge, and watching them succeed!

A Little Bit About Me...

There are numerous reasons why a parent or guardian may want to hire a tutor. Perhaps their generally successful student is having trouble keeping up in math. Or maybe the child is having trouble focusing and needs someone to help them hone their problem-solving skills. Perhaps the student simply has poor organization or study habits. A successful tutor must be flexible, ready to cope with any circumstance that may arise. I believe that flexibility and patience are the most important traits a tutor can have.
During my time at Rice, I tutored at-risk elementary school students for one year at an after-school day care program (mostly math and reading). A year or so later I began working for a private tutoring company, teaching middle school and high school students math, writing skills, time management skills, social studies, and science. After college I spent about eight months teac ... read more

Teaching is enjoyable to me, but the bureaucracy of the school systems is not. I believe that there is no "one size fits all" when it comes to helping students learn. My children attended Montessori school during their elementary school years, and benefitted greatly from that method of education. They were treated as individuals and it well prepared them for the next steps in their educations. One of my children is a Judge and another is a doctor, so it must have worked. That type of individual attention draws me to tutoring.
I taught high school for one year and middle school for a year and a half. I was certified to teach social studies 6-12, though I have let my certification expire. I have worked with middle school students for the past four years in an administrative and service capacity.

At Northwestern University, I majored in French Language and Literature and completed extensive coursework in English literature and creative writing. I split my junior year between a semester in Senegal and one in France to solidify my French fluency. Meanwhile, my writing-intensive study in French and English left me a thorough understanding of the requirements of successful composition writing and the grammatical principles essential to any well-executed essay. Upon graduating, I sought out volunteer opportunities in addition to my full-time employment to encourage children and adults to attain their academic potential and confidence in their knowledge and skills.
I want to demonstrate to kids the trajectory from what they learn in school to the real-world application of these skills. As a student of foreign language, I felt aware of where French could take me, and the same i ... read more

Teaching in South America is very challenging and instructors must have inventive skills; that was no problem with me since teaching is in the blood.

A Little Bit About Me...

When I graduated from Bradley University I was looking for ways to keep up with the accounting functions. One way that really helped me was tutoring. When I first graduated, I tutored for Bradley's Freshman students taking Financial Accounting. Currently I do training in auditing and financial procedures at my work. I work for a hotel management company and work with GM's that have no prior accounting experience.
When in school I did not like that my major was Accounting. I did not enjoy my classes or teachers, now out of school I enjoy my job and accounting more than I ever thought I would. I like to teach and show students how accounting effects their everyday life. Accounting has so many real life applications that the book can not show you, and I enjoy having students enjoy accounting as much as I do.

As someone who loves learning myself, I try my best to pass on that passion to my students by helping them experience the rewarding feeling that comes from understanding new concepts. My tutoring style is relatively straightforward and I try to maintain a good sense of humor. I believe all young people deserve and require a good education, which is why I have spent time working not only as a private tutor, but also as a volunteer tutor for public elementary school students who need extra help.
I began working as an independent, private tutor while I was in high school here in Palm Beach County, and as a college student at Yale I continued to do part-time private tutoring, as well as volunteer tutoring in public schools. I have tutored students in math, science, history, English, Spanish, and SAT Prep. In college, I completed coursework in a wide range of subjects, majoring in Poli ... read more
