EXPERT TUTOR-MultiSubject; Home/ONLINE; +WRITING instructor

As a tutor, I find that it is important to present the material to the students in a way that they can relate to. My job as an educator is to teach them how to learn it and make them want to learn it. I personally do not believe that negative reinforcement is beneficial. Positive responses to students are extremely valuable, even if they may occasionally give the wrong answer. This will give them the motivation to do well. My philosophy is that teaching is part knowledge, part communication, and part intuition. My intuition is necessary to understand where a student is getting stuck. I myself already understand the material; the challenge is to understand why a student does not. A variety of communicative teaching approaches is best. I have learned that different students respond to visual, auditory, or tactile methods. As always, continuous practice is extremely important. I also must ... read more

My comments on tutoring Continuing Education : I have experience in teaching on the college level and absolutely love it! I also hold a substitute license, so I can enjoy children from "K-12"!

I have over 20 years of business and entrepreneurial experience. I consult to start up companies and mentor people who want to go into business. I also have 20 years of writing for print, tv, public relations and more. My degrees are in marketing, management, ama and business from Ivy Leagues Universites as well as local college in the Nashville area. I really enjoy teaching and have experience teaching in junior college. I am a person with varying interests and curiosity in life!!
I usually take the Socratic method of teaching. I always feel that people enjoy this style and seem to retain more information and answers to their questions.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style varies with student learning styles. Although drill may be appropriate for some skills, my preference is project or problem based methods that draw on the learner's experiences and interests. I work from students' current skill levels, provide challenging problems, model successful learning skills, encourage students' to express creativity and intuition, and employ formative and normative assessments. I firmly believe that more advanced mathemtaics can be taught to younger and more diverse students. I believe that all students, of all skill levels, can learn mathemtaics if creatively taught.
I have spent over 30 years in business and financial consulting. My lifelong passion has been for mathematics and education. I have reached a point in my career where I can focus on giving back of my talents to students through mathematics education. I have minimal formal teac ... read more

More About This Tutor...

For four years I taught in private schools, where I gave instruction at the middle and high school levels in English, French, Hebrew, computer programming, and office applications (spreadsheets, etc). I taught Math and English for one year at a Huntingdon Learning Center (elementary through high school students). Prior to this I taught French and Linguistics courses at the State University of NY at Albany where I earned a degree in each of those fields. Later I became a database administrator. Today I develop web applications in the C# programming language and the Transact SQL query language. I have also given private music lessons over the years to a total of 20 to 30 students. I play guitar, trumpet, a little piano, and I sing.
I have always told my classes, "Learning can be fun; and if it's not, you may not be doing it right." Of course, that does not mean learning is ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a student, I was promoted from hostess to assistant controller of a restaurant within the period of one year and prior to graduation from the community college. I have over 20 years experience working in accounting and the last 12 of those years as the supervisor of the accounting department in roles titled accounting manager and controller. I have always hired new graduates and mentored them through their first accounting jobs. I have also encouraged each employer to pay their interns and have trained them as well.
I'm patient and understanding the complexities of accounting and the ensuing panic that it sometimes causes. In my experience the fundamental reason people need tutoring boils down to a failure to truly understand the concept of the debit and credit. I always begin by reviewing these concepts and ensuring that the student/intern fully understands the logic behin ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Because I have an extensive background in Psychology, I have a strong understanding of the learning process, as well as many other factors that affect it. I focus on each individual child's strengths and use that to bring their weaknesses up to a higher level. Through patience and encouragement, I believe that most children can experience dramatic improvements in their abilities. I am able to explain complex ideas clearly, in simple terms that are understandable. Then I expand on what the child already understands until they have mastered the more advanced concepts. I greatly enjoy the excitement, challenge, and reward of enriching a child's life through education.
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Southern Illinois University. This gives me a broad knowledge base in many educational arenas. I have tutoring experience with the program "Second Chance Saturdays" fo ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Being a Chemistry major, I have exceptional knowledge in Science and Math. I have worked with children from Elementary to High School. I have tutored/taught highly intelligent children and some resource students. Working as a substitute teacher, I developed many techniques and strategies to get children to understand. While working at a Youth Development Center, I engaged with teenage girls whom were not interested in learning, but I was able to gain their attention and get them involved in the learning process. Many of these students, I helped prepare for the GED test, a test that I scored highly on myself.
All children grasp concepts in different ways and from different methods. I have gained experience on how to pin point a child's learning style and have learned how to become more effective by teaching at a child's pace and level of understanding. So, my teaching style is depe ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy working with school age students in elementary and middle school however, I am developing a passion for preparing adults to enter the work force. I want adults to be prepared on three levels intellectually, socially, and emotionally. I want adults to be able to evaluate any situation on any instructional level whether it is math, science, and history also English. The type of education I give to adults will not only impact themselves but, their family members as well as the community.
My lesson plan will accommodate the intellectual need of the student or a group of students. I believe in two types of methods for students such as constructivist and pragmatist. A constructivist teacher will build on what the students already know. I have to remember adults have knowledge about topics but, rejogging their memory will help them to bring back certain thoughts and ideas. As a co ... read more

Having graduated with a degree in mathematics and extensive work in engineering, I was positioned me for pursuits along technical and analytical exercises while bringing in insight beyond the rigidity of science alone. I have applied these skills in areas of I.T (electronic data interchange long before it was common place), research (developed database of metellurgy alloys for NASA), as well as public health (perform statistical analyses of unintentional injury (for CDC effort) and trauma for the state of TN). I have privately tutored many who have come to me, admitedly because of their own "struggle" with math. Testimonials of a few are available.
I emphasize the learning of concepts and understanding to the extent that the student is able to teach them back to me as a validation to themselves that they have grasped the idea of the moment. Learning is progressive. Each student ... read more
