I earned a B.S. in Mathematics with an emphasis on logical thinking. The rigorous course work associated with an undergraduate degree in Mathematics has allowed me to navigate through life's decision-making tree with great accuracy. After completing 7 years in the financial services industry, I turned to continued learning in technology at different universities. During that period I had the opportunity to gain approximately 2 years experience as a substitute teacher and tutor. Recently, I have focused on helping and tutoring high school athletes who are showing promise in possibly going to college on scholarship. A student matriculating through the public education system has a much higher hurdle to cross than I did 20 years ago. The financial burden associated with gaining a higher education and the increased academic challenge can sometime require added time and attention. In tutoring

I am a hands on teacher/tutor. I believe in active learning and student participation. I believe all children can learn, and that we all have different learning styles. I enjoy tapping into a specific child's learning style, and teaching him/her strategies to support that learning style. I am flexible and patient, and my years of experience give me the ability to understand each individual student's needs, and align my tutoring to accommodate those needs. I have been a teacher or tutor for over fifteen years. I have taught all grades, K - 12, as well as adults. The majority of my experience has been with students with disabilities, as well as students learning English as a Second Language. My work with adult and high school students has been primarily in English Language Arts, Reading and Writing strategies, and study skills. I have extensive training in teaching English using a

As a student I was an honors student who maintained an "A" average in high school, college, and in my masters program. Before earning a BS in Psychology, I completed two years as an Elementary Education major. Although I decided to focus my career as a therapist, I have utilized this education by becoming both a substitute teacher and tutor. My education has allowed me to hone my language,literature, mathematical, research and study skills. I have tutored various students in mathematics, statistics, social studies, English, and reading and comprehension. I believe that all children have the ability to succeed. The key is to allow a child to feel empowered to have mastery over the material. Often time teachers explain new material in only one way. As a tutor I strive to find your child's learning style to help them understand the material, and learn good study habits early. I am patient a

I have 20+ years of teaching experience from the elementary level to adult education. I have a very well-rounded background with a strong footing in most subject areas.I excel at the elementary level in reading, math, spelling, grammar,social studies. Besides my teaching experience,I was also an elementary school principal for ten years. I have outstanding written and oral communication skills. I am a born teacher, it is not a piece of paper from the state that makes me a teacher, it's who I am inside. I am a strong proponent of building on the basics. In teaching or tutoring, we must first identify the child's strengths and build upon them. I am a skilled motivator, I know how to make learning fun. I am a caring and compassionate teacher. My success is measured by helping you or your child to succeed.

I am a current high school English teacher, with experience in teaching Journalism, Publications, and middle school language arts. I began tutoring students (middle school and elementary school) during a stint in Americorps (2002), and continue to tutor my own ESL students today. My strength is in teaching writing, specifically writing for standardized tests. I feel very comfortable teaching all areas of language arts, reading, study skills, and test preparation. I enjoy teaching and working with young people. I am a firm believer that students work up or down to expectations--I consistently hold high expectations and enjoy watching students work hard to meet them. Part of the challenge (and joy) of teaching is figuring out how to convey information to different types of learners. I am fascinated by the learning process, and enjoy devising new ways to teach the same subject material. On

I attended very rigorous academic institutions for both high school and college that demanded that their students achieve a well rounded education. As a result, I possess a vast amount of knowledge in a wide array of subjects. I am a very proficient writer and have also passed college level calculus and statistics. I have tutored students in all 5 basic subjects as well as Spanish, which I can speak, read, and write. I have always enjoyed teaching and helping people learn. I discovered that I had a knack for it when I participated in a program tutoring fellow students while I was in high school. I have found that the most effective way to tutor children is to get them excited about learning as well as to make sure that they believe in themselves. I have seen that all children can learn if they have the desire, the motivation, and the proper guidance.

As the 7th Grade English and reading teacher at Robison Middle School, test scores on the state-mandated proficiency exam improved by 24%. After one year of service, I was asked to be the Chair of the Reading department. As the instructor for Read 180, I developed students' reading abilities who were far below school and district standards. Using a set curriculum based on computer, large group and small group discussion, I balanced classwork and themed topics to assist students in overcoming reading difficulties. I employ a number of different tactics while teaching. My main focus is using open-ended questions which help students understand not only what the correct answer is, but also why the answer is correct. I am focus-driven and work to set objectives. I will focus on an objective until it is understood completely. I have a strong ability to relate concepts into real-life situat

I get a thrill from experiencing a student achieving the Ah-ha! moment of learning. I employ multiple modalities of teaching, since most students have multiple modalities of learning. My goal is to facilitate my students to become independent learners. I employ Socratic teaching methods. I don't give answers. That's too easy. I have found that students retain learning when they work through the solution. I offer students skills to ask questions about their world. I am fortunate to have multiple intelligence. Since an early age, I have been motivated to increase my knowledge base and skill levels. My desires have motivated me to earn a double majored BS in agriculture, an applied science, and a MS in biology. I taught laboratory classes while I was a student. I began working as a tutor in 1999. This motivated me to become teacher trained. I am an AVID certified tutor. I have tutored midd

I obtained my HQ status in both Elementary Education and Middle School Mathematics. In addition to teaching my children and substituting, I have mentored and served people of all ages from various walks of life throughout the years. Many of these individuals I have helped with academic tutoring as well. I have always had the heart of a teacher. I spent many hours as a child playing school.

I graduated with a BS in Elementary and Kindergarten Education. While attending college, I gained experience as a mentor and a teacher. I have worked with different age groups in a variety of settings. I volunteered for Big Brothers/Big Sisters of America and for the PA Literacy Corps tutoring ESL adult learners. I refined my English grammar through writing essays and research papers. I have a concrete understanding of how students learn basic mathematics through algebra, as well as the fundamentals of reading. I currently teach first grade at a preparatory school which uses an advanced curriculum. I love helping students to become confident and successful in school. I believe that students must play an active role in their own education and it is my job to foster this through creating meaningful lessons to fit each student's life.
