A dedicated, organized and professional yet flexible educator with several years experience in teaching French, I believe that motivating students is the most important factor for the teaching/learning experience. My experience tells me that if students are not actively participating in class, they are not learning. Therefore, I believe that students must be active learners. My job as an educator is to guide them in their learning process, to learn about their learning styles and teach them in a personalized manner to the extent possible, to entice their curiosity and interest to learn more. Furthermore, I insist on the memorization by repetition by using mnemonic tricks, flash cards, reviews. As a French native and a resident of the United States, I developed a profound interest in foreign languages and teaching French. My degree in Computer Science, mathematics and my subsequent exper

Through personal and professional experience, I have come to believe that fluency is most quickly achieved through immersion in a language (and instruction in only that language). However, accuracy can be developed and maintained more consistently when a student is able to compare his or her native tongue to the one which he or she is studying - as long as the student has a good understanding of the grammar and other basics of the native language. As a result, I believe in that constant exposure to a language, coupled with conceptual comparison to the native tongue, will foster the best combination of fluency and accuracy. I also believe that appreciation of the cultural and historical elements of a foreign language will encourage students in their studies and help them maintain enthusiasm when they meet a challenge. While studying Spanish at Messiah College, I completed my major cour

My one to one teaching style is tailored to adapt to the students learning style. However, my experience shows that keeping the student active during the learning process promotes a better learning. I use Microsoft Excel during my lessons. I create formulas, graphs, etc. and the Excel spreadsheet and ask the student to enter the data so that he/she can see how things change with different entries. This interactive process increased the student interest, kept them focused and helped them to hold the knowledge in many instances. Most of my teaching experience is from one to one tutoring. I have tutored over 20 students and always received compliments regarding my reliability, punctuality, style and patience. I have tutored for students with ages raging from 14 to 25 years old and included algebra, geometry, calculus, physics, etc. I worked as an 8th grade math teacher for a Catholic Sc

Having been in school for 6 years post high school has taught me a lot about the educational system and the means to success. A proper education is very crucial in order to prevent a student from being misinformed and misguided. To prevent that, I help my students to be self-motivated and more aware of local and global events through newspapers. I believe everyone is different based on their backgrounds, therefore, they must be taught HOW to learn effectively. This is where I come in. I can identify what a student’s weakness is and allow them to learn SUCCESSFULLY! Having a B.S. in Microbiology from University of Maryland and having completed 2 years of medical school gives me a strong background in the sciences. For the past 7 years I worked for Certified Learning Center and had great experiences tutoring students of different backgrounds. Although science is my specialty, I have

I am a demonstrative teacher and leader. I believe in the theory of "model, action, and talk" style of presentation of concepts. My creative background lends itself well to keeping a student's initiative and inspiration to a high level so that they are actually motivated to perform at their best. My personality traits are that I am disciplined and a believer in seeking the truth. My personal goals at this point are to inspire other children to want to learn so that learning and writing are not perceived as boring and meaningless and that through writing, the student will want to continue past the assignment and invoke writing and communication through creative channels into their daily lives so that this becomes a "life-skill." As a recent college graduate of Savannah College of Arts and Design, I have extensive experience with writing skills, leading and directing project based assign

A graduate of the University of Virginia, I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and Media Studies. Shortly after finishing school, I moved to Brazil to work as a research assistant to a professor and documentary filmmaker at the Federal University of Bahia. I was also able to expand my own research on educational opportunities in marginalized communities in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. Through my research assistantships and media internships, as well as through managing my own media projects and studies, I have developed strong computing, writing and communication skills. I have taught classes in web design, film editing, English grammar, and English conversation. In addition, I have tutored students in journalism, sociology, media studies, math, reading, and writing.

To be an effective instructor, it is necessary to have a perfect environment; one that allows for interaction and collaboration between students and their instructor. Hence I believe that teaching should be comprised of two complementary elements: knowledge of content and ability to transfer this knowledge to a group of people. Knowing the subject is not enough, one has to be able to develop excellent communication skills that will allow you to pass on your knowledge to a diverse group of people. It is also important that when the fundamentals of the subject are presented, real world examples follow. From this, students can experience a practical application of the learning process. I encourage students to ask questions. I do so by doing my best to motivate my students. Motivation when achieved can get a poor student to become excellent! I have always loved teaching.

I first decided to teach students to occupy my time but I then discovered what it feels like to help younger students overcome their academic difficulties. I believe that each child is capable to achieve a minimum of education level, sometimes all what it takes is a little bit of motivation and confidence that he or she needs to move forward and I think it's something that tutors can help students figure out and acquire. I consider myself having an outcome commitment with my students. My goal is to communicate what I have learnt. During my high school years I already had a particular interest in Accounting classes. In fact the high school diploma that I earned was in Accounting and Financial Management. When I reached the college level I decided to major in Economics, which was the broader continuation of my field in High School, this enabled me to gain some understanding in unknown area

I love working with kids and it's my inner passion to teach. I have developed patience’s working with children and I like to teach as a mentor/friend. My main focus is students' needs and goals, and the willingness to explore their strengths. I believe that every child has the capability to learn and they just need a little guidance. I would love to be the reason a child wants to learn and gain their knowledge. I am a hard-working and ambitious person with a desire to contribute to society. I believe educators, teachers, counselors, principals are the providers, directors, and managers of complex systems of care. In other words, they are the backbone of the educational industry. While working as an Assistant Director of Education, I have learned to be more effective as a teacher. I have been teaching for past seven years and I have taught all age groups and subjects like, English, Math,
