LESSONS SHOULD ACCOMMODATE STUDENT LEARNING STYLES

I have 15 years of teaching experience with special needs students in a rural school district. During this time i provided private tutoring sessions for Elementary, Middle, High School and College students. At the college level my tutoring experience is with reading, writing, study skills and organization. Currently I develop educational programming for incarcerated youth.
My belief is that all students have different learning styles. Therefore lessons need to be individualized to meet student needs. In order to be successful students need to be engaged by creative teachers. My teaching experience has taught me to accommodate these needs when developing lesson plans.

I know how to help students learn mathematics.

Math teacher with science and English background and 13 years experience middle school, high school, and some college tutoring/teaching. I most recently taught pre-algebra and geometry and have taught algebra many times. I tutored through college at all levels. I like using simpler examples to introduce concepts and then help students build a strong understanding of harder skills.
I have lots of middle school experience and can use hand's-on conceptual models or straight forward drill work to help students understand. I am committed to working through concepts until my students get it.

In that capacity I taught private performance lesson, coached chamber ensembles, conducted various ensembles. supervised and coached student teachers, performed in a faculty artist-in-residence quintet, performed solo recitals, assisted students in writing essays, resumes, and applications for positions in the teaching field or graduate studies.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love working with children because I believe that every child has the ability to learn. I understand that each child learns in a unique way and my goal is to discover the best method, environment and pace at which your child learns. I am here to give every student the opportunity to realize their potential and strive for success in education. I am easy going, caring, creative and motivated. I have a flexible schedule and am dedicated to giving your child the education they deserve.
I have always had a passion for education. Coming from a large family, I was always helping my younger siblings with their homework and teaching "school" in my mom's study on the weekends. I attended the rigorous International Baccalaureate program at my high school and moved away from home to attend a prestigious liberal arts college. After graduating from Smith College in May I moved to Boston to wor ... read more

I think that my teaching experience speaks for itself.. I'm capable of working with all ages.. preferring teenagers because I like bigger challenges. I'm patient,easy going o one hand but firm with homework\tasks on the other hand.I'm a great believer in leading the student to the answer rather than telling it. I believe that the fact that I'm the founder of a tutoring company in Israel gave me the ability to criticize&improve my work more effectively.
Hi, I'm Kobi.I have 7 full years of educating behind me.I was teaching classes and groups during my B.A studies for annual projects and for a private - tutoring company like yours. Since 2008 I own "highway" a private tutoring company in Israel- now ran by a partner. I have tutored mostly Maths and English but I'm capable of teaching any other subjects for low graders.Of course, Hebrew can always come into consideration- it's m ... read more

As a lifelong student of the humanities and English, I believe that the best way to learn is by teaching and helping others. As a result, whenever and wherever I have been, whether in academia, work environments, or with friends and family, I have sought to apply what I know by teaching. I have many years of experience teaching others, especially in the areas of English (extremely talented writer), history (specializing in world history and the history of empires), social science (with a focus on psychology and sociology) and philosophy. I find no greater thrill in life than when, as a result of my teaching and assistance, the light comes on over the student's head. Beyond pay and self-achievement, this is the true joy for any teacher.
One of the advantages of my background is the variety of people I have worked with. Regardless of different cultures, races, socioeconomic back ... read more

I am a magna cum laude graduate from an Ivy League university with several awards for scholarship, leadership, and research. Thus, I believe strongly in working hard not only for myself but for any of the children I teach. I am patient and pride myself on taking on students that require extra effort. I am kind, hardworking, and reliable - I believe that good SAT prep should be available to everyone and I try to live through that philosophy in my teaching and tutoring experiences.
I worked for the Princeton Review as well as various non-profit organizations such as Let's Get Ready! and The Door!, tutoring SAT math and verbal skills. Through these experiences, I've worked with underprivileged youth, and bilingual and ESL speakers. Most recently, I've worked as a teaching assistant for students struggling with college-level writing assignments, met with students one-on-one, and create ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My passion for education and learning translates very well to students/adults whom I educate on a subject. I am an empathetic person by nature and this allows me to put myself in the students shoes and think like them, regarding what their learning curve is, what method of teaching they are most reciprocative to and are they understanding or not ? I am very patient and strive very hard to ensure students are "learning" - not just studying to get a good score. I have a strong belief that every student is very capable of learning - and one on one tutoring offers an excellent opportunity to customize teaching based on a what might work best for a particular student.
I have always been close to learning. Outside of my (Bachelors of Science, PMP, MBA, EMDT) I have attained, I have attended numerous courses under the umbrella of continuing education such as Using Voice as a Sales tool, ... read more

My teaching style is sensitive, enthusiastic, and patient. In both tutoring and non-tutoring settings I believe it is imperative that students feel comfortable. It is always my goal that students feel able to volunteer when they do not know or understand something, and to ask questions whenever they need to. In addition I understand that all students learn differently and I enjoy discovering and providing different styles for my students. One of the most rewarding things for me on a personal level is to assist youngsters or students in achieving goals they may have previously perceived as impossible. I feel this way at all levels, whether I am assisting dedicated students or students that are searching for their inspiration.
For the past five years I have provided personal tutoring to both the Ithaca Community and the Ithaca College Community. I have also spent the past three ... read more

I am a recent graduate of the State University of New York School of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY-ESF). This institution offer rigorous studies in all its degree programs. Students are also expected to maintain a prismatic academic spectrum outside of their specialization. In 2005, I enrolled in SUNY-ESF's unique chemistry program. I took notable classes other colleges don't offer, such as Organic Chemistry III, and Spec ID. Classes were taught by PhD researches with years of experience in their fields of chemistry ranging from physical to polymer chemistry. I used technical scientific instruments such as GC/MS, and NMR. Experiencing SUNY-ESF left me with a specialized degree in Natural Products Chemistry, a concentration that focuses on biosynthetic pathways, advanced organic chemistry, synthesis, and technical reading and writing skills. I also studied biology, focusi ... read more
