I basically teach according to what the students like or is familiar with (art, sport, etc.) and I utilize what they're good at with the subject matter. For instance, if a student is into baseball, I teach math using scoring method, countries where players are from for social studies, speed of running, throwing, etc. for teaching science, and so on. With the younger students, I oberve them during choice time or free play and document what areas they are attracted to the most, how they interact with each other and their conversations. I use the data to help me develop and strenghten the abilities they exhibit. I attended Northeastern Illinois University and obtained a B.A. degree in Elementary & Special Education, with honors.

Former video producer/director, helped hundreds of people improve their speaking skills My entire career has been spent in communications: video, radio, copywriting, PR, marketing...

Reporter, editor, online editor and/or managing editor for daily and weekly newspapers in Illinois, Nebraska, Iowa and Ohio. I have had the privilege of covering politics, business, government, courts, police and community news; as well as feature writing. Additionally I taught JRN 295 for six semesters at Michigan State University. It has been my experience that students (regardless of age) learn best when the lessons can be adapted to things that are relevant to their lives. Journalism takes in every aspect of life, so whether it is 3D printing, gardening or politics learning to apply the tenets of journalism makes one a better writer and thinker.

I am a recent master's graduate in the field of Atmospheric Science. In addition I have a Bachelor of Science degree in meteorology with minors in both math and physics. I have had the privilege of working with students in a classroom setting as a substitute teacher the past couple of years. I enjoy helping students succeed by helping them gain confidence in a subject area. I have a passion for mathematics as it is a subject that many students shy away from. I have tutored students in math from Calculus down to Algebra over the course of 6 years. I have a burden for young people and enjoy the opportunity in helping them succeed. Probably one of the greatest influences in my life was a former tutor who pushed me to be the best that I could possibly be. That is a strategy that I strive for in everyone I have the privilege of tutoring. I demand excellence from my students. I don’t

When it comes to starting a new subject, I start with questions to stimulate minds first. I start from the last step, example: How can we do elbow flexion? Then elbow joint constituents and their relation to each other Then the origin and insertion of the "Brachialis" as well as its nerve and blood supply.... I think this works for almost 70% of students. Some have a special aproach that can be discovered in their response to a general question like "What can you see through this window"? Such an answer could tell wheather they focus on the large image or on the details, wheather they get impressed by colors or movements..etc. I used to volounteer to help my fellow students in sessions similar to tutor under supervision of the assistant professor (who holds a PhD degree in the subject). I was designated "dissector"; Those prepare for the "practical-lab." class for Anatomy. In Egyptian s

My tutoring style is eclectic so I can reach each student with an unique insight that will help that student understand a concept or solve a problem. Once I get to know how a student thinks, I work with his/her strengths and try to compensate the student's weaknesses by working at his/her level and then bringing the student to a level where he/she needs to be. I have both practical and conceptual understanding of mathematics as I have tutored kids and taught mathematics at a high school level. In addition, I have certifications in biology, chemistry, physics, and computer science. I like making connections among different subjects and providing practical examples as the situation warrants. I get a lot of satisfaction when students grasp a new concept. It makes my day!
