Although I only took two semesters of Sociology in college, they were taught by a very intense and demanding professor who assigned a lot of work and books to read, and formulated incredibly difficult exams, I aced both classes, and tutored Sociology for over 10 years. So basically, I believe I a more than qualified to teach the subject more than competently. Extremely Interactive and Student-Specific Methods Tailored to each Student's Needs & Goals I consider myself to be a uniquely seasoned, qualified, and experienced tutor who can adapt to any situation and to any student in order to benefit their education and learning experience. Due to my ability to teach and tutor children and adults of all ages, (in addition to my own near-perfect scores on the SAT & ACT) I was one of the first Instructors hired by PrepExpert, a national company that specializes in preparing students for the SAT,

I have experience teaching individuals of all ages. I have been working with various tutoring companies since May. Furthermore, I have taught numerous children how to read and do basic math. I have tutored many of my classmates in various subjects including psychology, English, biology, and algebra since high school. I facilitate day treatment groups teaching severely emotionally disturbed children social skills, behavior management, and life skills. These children also have a range of diagnoses such as autism or ADHD. I helped provide group and individual reading instruction for adults with developmental disabilities for a year. During this time I also supervised clients and helped teach arts, theater, and dance classes for adults with developmental disabilities. I used to be a church nursery teacher where I taught basic gospel principles to children 18 months through three years old. I

I'm a follower of traditional teaching methods. I believe in the unique triangular team-centered approach involving myself, students and parents. Creating Independent Learners by setting an atmosphere that is nurturing and promotes critical thinking skills by asking questions thus creating Independent learners. My experience dates back to when I was in high school in the early 80's tutoring students and family members. I've also taught classes on Management of Aggressive Behavior / Appled Non-Violence to mental health professionals throughout the Las Vegas Valley and surrounding communities. I also worked as teacher assistant in the mental health setting working with special needs students.

My success as a teacher has come from my belief that young people have a better chance at succeeding when they are empowered with tools and support for their own capacity to learn and grow, rather than simply fed information. Certain qualities are needed in a tutor or teacher to make that possible: compassion, confidence and an ability to create a safe container, one that is nurturing and void of impatience and frustration. These qualities make up the foundation of my teaching style, along with a high-level of work quality and extensive experience teaching children and young people of many different backgrounds and abilities. I have over 13 years experience as a teacher and tutor as well as many years of education and training that include the following: Psychoeducational Therapist at the Children’s Evaluation and Rehabilitation Center in New York (specializing in youth with learning d

I worked full time and attended school full time while earning my undergraduate degree in Public Affairs from the School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University Purdue. I attended law school for a year at a private methodist college, Ohio Northern. I completed graduate work in Washignton, DC at the US Department of Agriculture Graduate School, at Ball State University, University of Toledo, and IU, Fort Wayne, Indiana. I traveled and settled in Las Vegas earning a teaching certificate in education from Sierra Nevada College, and 48 hours of graduate education classes from the Clark County School District. I love the education process. I have worked in federal, state and local governments and in the private sector. I am well traveled. I have tutored in English while teaching in Seoul, South Korea.

I have been surrounded by children my entire life, and I am very confident in my abilities. In my opinion, the most important part of an effective teaching style is developing a connection with the child. When they look forward to seeing you and can tell that you are truly excited to be working with them, only then will you see their full effort being put forth. I make it a point to be outgoing, accessible, and most importantly, confident in their abilities. I believe in the principle of reinforcement through praise, and not only being a mentor/tutor, but also a friend. I am a firm believer in the importance of having children stick to schedules, and I incorporate this everyday into my work. During my five years of undergraduate work, I was very involved in the area of child education and care. I was a volunteer for Big Brothers/Big Sisters in Wisconsin, where I worked on elementary basi

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 variety of strategies including honemic awareness, SDAIE strategies, and whole-language as well. I feel comfortable tutoring English, Social Sciences, Physical science, Biology and life Science at all levels. In mathematics, I prefer tutoring only up through eighth grade. 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 i

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

My mother was a teacher for 33 years. Many summers she worked as a tutor and all through high-school and college I helped her. I graded student's papers, read with them, and helped with their homework. When I was in college, I tutored students in Spanish and English as a second language. My strongest subject is mathematics which is why I became an accountant. My grammatical skills are good due to writing reports when I worked as an auditor for the Gaming Control Board. I like my students and we seem to have a good connection. I will not preach. I was a public speaker for three years and know many techniques to communicate a message, without putting your audience to sleep. Practice makes excellence; therefore, repetition is a good learning technique. I believe every child has a capacity to excel, some may just need a little dedication.

I started tutoring in NYC when I was a junior in high school. I tutored a sixth grader and an eighth grader, and helped them with all of their homework. In addition, I created my own problem sets for them to furthur practice their skills. Currently, I tutor student athletes at UNLV. I tutor a wide range of subjects such as psychology, computers, math, and biology. I have excellent writing skills due to the many research papers that I have had to write throughout my college career. I believe that since English was not my first language, I am particularly able to attune to the grammatical rules that I learned in school. I am also fluent in Spanish. My teaching style is somewhat relaxed so that I can encourage my students to open up. When I first begin tutoring someone I let them do things their way rather than tell them how to do something. Then, I tell them that if their method i

The overall health, well-being and enlightenment of children and their families has been a passion of mine for over 15 years. As a Holistic Health Care Facilitator I understand that it is not just my job to educate children, but it is just as important to educate their parents. For instance, when the entire family has a better understanding of how the body functions more efficiently with the proper sleep and nutrition, then I have completed my educational goals. As an Phi Thea Kappa and Who's Who Among Student's in American Unversities and Colleges honoree, I understand the importance of academic excellence. In fact, during the past 20 years I have taught children on various levels for examlpe, creative movement dance class, reading, writing and science. In addition, I am trained to work with children with special needs such as trichotillomania, obessive compulsive disorder, attentio

My teaching style is highly influenced by the type of student that I teach. As a teacher of deaf students, my teaching must be very visual and hands-on. I find this lends itself well to teaching students who might be struggling in a regular classroom environment as well. I always begin by activating any prior knowledge a student might have in a given area, then establishing the goals that need to be met, engaging the child with relevant activities, and going from guided instruction to independent practice. Since beginning college in 1994, I have been involved with teaching and/or tutoring students, hearing and deaf. My experience teaching ranges from preschool to high school, typically developing children to those with disabilities, from impoverished and affluent areas. My tutoring has been both with a nationwide tutoring chain, as well as with a privately owned company. I have tut
