My teaching philosophy centers on individualized instruction. Rather than assuming a one-size-fits-all approach, I tailor sessions to meet your student’s learning style and needs. I respond to learning challenges with flexibility, creativity, and positivity. To achieve best results, I engage your student in the learning process, break complex concepts into simpler parts, and target instruction to build specific skills.

Helping students learn and learn how to grow

My teaching experience is broad across subjects and age levels. Learning and teaching excite me and I like to think that attitude rubs off on my students. It can be fun to learn, and even those subjects a student does not find enjoyable, can prove satisfying. I've taught middle school and high school, as well as at Bellevue College, Renton technical College, and North Seattle Community College. My own experiences include not just teaching, but also professional broadcasting, journalism (both broadcast and print newswriting, creative writing, editing, and reporting), writing a book, supervising employees as well as students, and poetry awards.
I like students to be comfortable, enjoy their experiences with me as much as possible, and learn not only the material they need to study, but also habits and practices that will help them with future studies.

PhD Physics, able to tutor in science, math, engineering

I follow the method of G. Polya in his classic work "How to Solve It". By asking the right questions, one can help the student define his problem, form a plan for the solution, carry out the plan, and examine the result. I also try to work as many difficult problems from the student's text as time permits, in order to show that all problems have a solution, and the student can build confidence in attacking any problem. I try to present the material in as many ways as needed, so that I can match the subject to the student's style of learning.
I was a senior scientist - engineer for 37 years. I retired to care for my comatose wife at home, and she died a few months later. This situation has left me open to new directions. My teaching experience has been 3 years as a graduate teaching assistant, and 2 years as a tutor to friends and family in science and mathematics. My goal is ... read more

Tutor for the summer

I am a speech therapist with 11 years and experience. I have worked with students pre-k through 12th grade, primarily pre-k through 5th grade. I have extensive experience working with students on reading comprehension, answering and asking questions, semantics of language (antonyms, synonyms, multiple meanings of words, attributes, categorization), syntax, grammar, phonics and much more! I have mainly worked with kids with disabilities, including autism, developmental delays, communication delays, speech and language impairment, and Down Syndrome. I have also worked with students on math skills. I am also very comfortable with tutoring in areas such as GED preparation, as I am good at math, reading, writing, science and history.
I use the iPad (excellent resource) books, worksheets and materials I make to fit the situation.

A Little Bit About Me...

Through out my academic career I have faced many challenges, and many times have had to turn to tutors and peers for help, as a result I am familiar with the dilemmas children can face. Through my experience with children, I believe that all children find success if the material is presented in a manner that suites them. As a result I believe in trying many different ways to share my knowledge, I can help a child succeed in academically. Because each child learns differently, and faces different challenges and strengths, I value patience and perseverance in my interactions with them. I work towards helping each child see their success and become better people.
As a graduate from college with a degree in geology, I am familiar with challenges that students may face in succeeding in school. The process of college taught me many learning skills that ultimately helped me succeed. Durin ... read more

My experience in tutoring is a mix of working with large tutoring agencies as well as local one-on-one at home tutoring services. I have worked with students on elementary school math and reading, as well as SAT and ACT preparation. My greatest experience was when I helped a particular student with her writing skills, not just by drilling and practicing, but by boosting her confidence. With a system of positive reinforcements, we started to build upon her strengths. Her grammar and punctuation have improved vastly, and even her skills in other areas have improved because she is more willing to take risks. Those results were quite rewarding for me, and I realized that I want to help more students break barriers and achieve new limits.
Studies show that people who are used to success are more likely to try again and again when confronted with a challenge. My goal is to build a s ... read more

I believe strongly in the importance of traditional subjects such as grammar and composition, reading for comprehension and appreciation, and knowledge of our cultural heritage. I tailor my tutoring to the student's personal experiences and background, in order that he/she has a real connection to the material. I strive to explain fully the practical purpose of any subject we are covering, as well as how study of a given subject can, does, and will enrich the student's life, now and in the years to come. I take time to explain how each bit of new knowledge is a building block, and you must begin with a firm foundation before you can climb high in a subject area and feel the thrill at the pinnacle of your study. I like to incorporate a sense of humor as well as "reality checks" in my communication with pupils; i.e., sometimes we have to reach inside ourselves to find a reason to compl ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a college instructor I had the independence to effectively plan and edit syllabi, give daily presentations and lectures, and regularly mentor students from all walks of life. I also frequently initiated and organized guest speakers’ presentation dates and topics, networked with local politicians and foreign diplomats, graded research papers, drafted daily lecture plans and participated in curriculum review committee meetings. I especially enjoyed these tasks because they increased my ability to consistently meet deadlines and run various projects at once. I believe that my teaching experience enhanced my overall resourcefulness, including my ability to work and communicate with culturally diverse populations.

I believe all students have the capacity to learn and achieve their very best. I am a firm believer in encouragement and building a student's self-confidence. I believe many students require additioanl instructional opportunities to master literacy skills. I incorporate a multi-modal opproach to instruction. I utilize both verbal and nonverbal strategies in my instruciton and strive to clearly deliver academic content with a consistent focus on checking for a student's understanding of the material. I believe with a clear focus on specific reading and writing skills, effective execution of instruction, and lot of encouragement a student will learn and become motivated to keep growing their knowledge in a particular academic area.

I believe education should enrich and engage a students mind. I work very hard to make connections for what students are learning to what they are passionate about. Through strong encouragement and support, I make an effort to give students confidence while challenging them to move forward and deepen their understanding. I strive to give students the means they need to take pride in their work. I have seen so many students flourish after having someone re-explain a concept in a way that makes sense to them. I am willing to put the time and energy it takes to find the explanation that works best for each student. I believe all my students can succeed in their lives.
