Logic Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Kelleys Island, OH

I have always been a tutor of sorts. I love to teach kids because of the sparkle they get in their eyes when they finally understand what they are being taught. Each child have a different learning style so I try to work with them to see what works for them. I have worked with kids who have ADD and the gifted. The greatest thing I can teach is that we can teach to create intelligence, but wisdom comes from using all that you know. I started tutoring in 7th grade back in 1976. I have been tutoring my own kids for over 14 years. I have been a Scout leader for over 9 years. I worked with boys ages 5 to 18 years of age. I have brought 2 learning disabled teens into my home to help them graduate High School. Both have gone on to be Certified Welders. I have presided over the Parental Acceptance Committee for both Fremont and all five of WSOS HeadStart Counties and all the centers in

As a high school student, I attended Tiffin University to gain college experience and credit earlier than expected. After graduating from Clyde High school, I went on to Ohio State Mansfield, where I majored in psychology and special education. I am currently a full time student at Ashford University online. I am studying to become an advocate for special needs persons and children. I have been tutoring students professtionally for the past year. I specialize in reading and math. I have experience with k-12. I am also comfortable with special needs and developmental disabilities. My teaching style is basic. I feel it is most important for a student to grasp the basics before they can move on to more complicated subject material. I also am a strong believer of parental involvement. A parent knows their children's learning patterns best. I like to use different approaches. Activities that

Upon the completion of my undergraduate studies, I was encouraged to sign up as a substitute teacher. This subsequently led to a full time position, where I taught Junior High Mathematics. I also coached wrestling and mentored the Quiz Bowl team. I truly miss teaching and mentoring kids. I approach teaching as an opportunity to bring out the maximum potential within each student. I am a firm believer each student views learning differently, meaning as educators we need to ensure no student is left behind. I take a hands-on approach to education, stressing the importance of real life experiences. We should illustate to students how "what is learned today will become practical later in life."

Working with grades 7-12 I used various methods of teaching different age groups. I use every day applications for courses to make it symbolic and understandable for students. I look for their strengths and weaknesses and focus on the areas of difficulty. I use the internet for an approach to their needs and some times testing. I show my students how to properly do a task or work through a problem and then I'll help them master the task or problem solution. It's important that my students can independently solve similar problems by using and adapting demonstrated methods. I have been a teach/tutor since 1977. I have worked at a large school system for many years and at Community Colleges. Tutored students from 7th grade to 12th and college students. Math, Physics, Applied Sciences, and all facets of Computer skills. I have worked with students of advanced learning and those with less th

I have taught computer science courses in business college, and I taught algebra, calculus, and statistics as a graduate student. I remain convinced of the necessity of obtaining basic math skills for success in today's world, and I spend a lot of time maintaining my own skills in math and computers. I am currently spending 8-12 hours per day, mostly programming vectors and mathematical functions as spreadsheet macros. I try to find a common, basic level of understanding with the student and then show how a few key insights can help the student broaden her/his knowledge. In math, for example, this typically means showing how elementary concepts can be applied to simplify more complex problems, such as showing how such things as the distributive and associative properties are being used in solving equations, sometimes in a context where these things are often glossed over.

After twenty years working in the environmental, health and safety field, I was motivated to change careers and become a science teacher. As a "second career" teacher, I earned a Master of Education degree at the University of Toledo and am licensed to teach Integrated Science (i.e., Earth and Space Sciences, Life Sciences, and Physical Sciences) for seventh through twelfth grades. I believe that my environmental, health and safety experiences coupled with my education to become a science teacher uniquely qualify me to effectively teach science. I provide opportunities for students to engage in hands-on activities that are interesting and meaningful to them and that promote critical thinking skills. I assign reading material that directly supports these activities so my students can read with a purpose. Learning takes effort; it can be challenging and frustrating, but is also very re

I believe the key to learning is to break complex concepts down into manageable sizes. The goal of tutoring is to relate new or difficult material to simple ideas that are already familiar to the student. Above all else, it is important to communicate with the student to understand where the breakdown in understanding is and then develop an approach that aids in comprehension. I earned three degrees in five years, all in quantitative disciplines. The range of material covered by those degrees includes mathematics and statistics, economics, and some computer programming. Beyond my education background, I have five years of experience tutoring. In high school, I tutored children in reading and writing and other high school students in mathematics and Latin. In college, I have one additional year of experience tutoring introductory calculus.

I usually teach one on one so I can cater to the individual needs of the students and help them understand better. I enjoy teaching my students and am delighted when I see them progress in their grades. I have tutored undergraduate students in Calculus, Accounting, Finance and Economics. Most of these students came to me because they made a grade of C or below, but I successfully helped them to make an A.

My teaching style strives to reach all learning styles and all ability levels. I incorporate methods to reach individual learning styles and ability levels into the planning of each instructional unit. I bring respect for all individuals to my instruction. I taught for 9 years 6-8th grades Math, Pre-Algebra, Language Arts; 3 years were in a multi-age classroom. I have tutored all subjects grades 1-9; this would include integrated algebra-geomerty; reading remediation; math remediation; study skills.

I graduated from Hope College in three years with a BS in Biology, a BA in Chemistry, and a minor in Classical Studies. I tutored throughout high school and college. I have tutored Latin (both into and upper level courses), Math (high school), history (high school,) Mythology (college), Biology (both intro and upper level courses), and Chemistry (both intro and upper level courses). In college, I was also a TA for Organic Chemistry discussion workshops, as well as biochemistry and organic chemistry labs. Also in college, I worked with science camps, grades 1-5. I have also worked at a summer camp, working with kids ages 8-20. I also have experience teaching Sunday school ages 4-12. I have a variety of experience. Most of my tutoring experience is with older students, aged 15 or older. However, I feel that I could work with younger kids as well. I love learning, and I get excited when a s

I love to work and teach all levels of students. I will make learning fun and easy to understand. I will provide detailed explanation and examples to help them grasp the concepts. I will be able to ensure whatever I teach will be 100% accurate since my GPA was 3.9/4.0 for both MS degrees and my professional career is successful. I will fit for student's style and find the best way to teach them. All the students whom I taught had good grades and were happy how I helped them. My commitment for excellence is guaranteed. I have worked as teaching assistant when I worked on my two MS degrees(Physics & Electrical Engineering). I could teach any Physics, Math, Science, & EE related subjects. I have also worked as a Prog. Management/Engineering Manager for many years & is still working. Tutoring will be my side fun job to do.

I have worked with high school students reading at a third grade level as well as those who could succeed at an Ivy League school--and have appreciated all of them. I especially enjoy the challenge of motivating the under-achiever or capturing the interest of the student who is frustrated in a typical classroom. I also love seeing how a student who is "left-behind" or "unnoticed" in a large class can blossom and achieve so much with one-to-one instruction and that's one of the main reasons I like tutoring. I really do enjoy getting to know people and helping them achieve their educational goals and dreams. During my many years of teaching, tutoring, substitute teaching, and youth ministry work, I have worked with a wide variety of students from urban and suburban environments. I've always enjoyed learning, earning a BA in Secondary Education (summa cum laude) and an MA in English fr

I find in counseling I have to lead people to come up with their own solutions without telling them the answer. This involves showing them how to get there and teaching them the skills. If any of my friends or coworkers would describe me it would be as a patient person. I think it takes a lot of patience to tutor especially if the student is having trouble grasping a concept. You have to be creative in how you explain it to them. Everyone has a different learning style whether it is audio or visual. I think it’s important the student feels comfortable to voice frustration and ask to go over something again. As a Professional Counselor I have learned to interact with others in a very respectful, sensitive way. It is my job to lead people to conclusions without actually telling them the answer. I believe this is very similar to teaching. I have spent the last 3 ½ years working wit
