My comments on tutoring Entrance Exams : I have prepared quite a few of my GED graduates for the Accuplacer test, a placement test used before entering some local colleges, such as Sinclair Community College. If unprepared, a student may have to take as many as three developmental classes in reading, writing, and math. That means they may wind up taking up to nine total, unnecessary courses that drain their financial aid, as well as time, gas, energy, etc...

Please contact me if you have one or more subjects to pass, especially if you earned all of your high school credits, but this test is keeping you from receiving YOUR diploma!! I say "I'm back" because, unfortunately, I was unable to answer emails from folks on this site these last few months due to a lapse in my paid subscription (life happens). I have 24 successful years of experience teaching and tutoring. My area of expertise is in preparing students for a variety of state/national required tests. My degree is in education, with a reading comprehension specialty certification.

A Little Bit About Me...

I take the necessary time to learn the behavior and learning ability of the child in order to customize a teaching style that will be most beneficial. I believe that the most effective type of relationship between a teacher and a student is friendship to reduce any anxieties that may otherwise hinder the child’s progress. I am calm, well mannered, kind and devoted to the success of others. Teachers should be firm but not intimidating to the child. The learning environment should be safe, stress free and comfortable and above all positive. I have a strong belief that since children will be leading future generations then they need the proper skills to be able to solve tomorrow’s problems.
Throughout my high school career I have been devoted to academic success of my fellow classmates as well as my self. I continued this attitude in the accomplishment of achieving a BS degree in biol ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Since 1966, I have been teaching/tutoring students in all levels of mathematics. In 1977, I graduated from Bowling Green State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics Eduation. I consider myself a Mathematics teacher, substitute teacher(60 schools), teacher's aide, tutor, and consultant. It's my whole mentality; I literally can't talk to students without asking about their school, their academics, their mathematics, and their sport. I cultivate a great rapport with students based on those four subjects. I'm also very well read, a History minor, and am straight A's in three language grammars.
In teaching/tutoring, I have an ongoing teacher-student conversation that resembles a programmed unit. I talk mathematics from a tutor's point of view and expect the student to fill in the blanks in a way such that I've set him/her up. What it does is keep the student's attention sin ... read more

By myself being a person who has a GED and went to Job Corps. My teaching style is related to my background as overcoming all types of odd's in order to succeed. I like to feel out a student to see what their weaknesses might be then I like to work with the student to build confidence and build more adacademic knowledge and success as time would allow.
I have been a tutor in a GED class and also I was a Teachers Assisntant For the city school district of Albany,NY. I worked one on one and in a self contained special education class with 6th,7th and 8th grade students.

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy teaching children of all ages, but I prefer to teach children within the middle school and high school ages. I feel that those times are critical to their learning and retention of information. I appreciate what I do or have done when I can see success with a student achieving knowledge within their particular area of study.
I am currently a graduating senior at Wilberforce University. When that day comes, I will have a BS in Biology. This degree has allowed me to gain hands on experience within different fields of study along with enhancing my kowledge of the biological sciences and all that it embodies. Also with Spanish, I have not had the experience of teaching but I have been learning the Spanish language for the last ten years (since the sixth grade). I can read as well as write the language and hold a descent conversation. I have previously worked as a tutor/mentor ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I vary my teaching style depending on the student's particular disposition. I normally allow them to dictate the pace at which I tutor without digressing from our objective. Nonetheless, my goal is to be positive impact on the student. I love to help students get to a level they did not expect they could achieve, and in the same token, I am appreciative when I am humbled by challenging problems for which I have no solution. However, when faced with such a situation, I guide the student in an appropriate direction, and let them know that I will use my own resources to discover a solution and then get back to them. Without question, my style is synonymous to what computer users refer to good programs as, "user-friendly." I am patient with my tutees and steady in my demeanor so that I can gain and hold their confidence.

A Little Bit About Me...

For me, education goes beyond the textbooks and worksheets that typify many social studies curriculums. Students need to experience the content on many levels, giving them a full and complete understanding in all areas of social studies. I believe in using technology such as interactive PowerPoints, SmartBoards, WebQuests, and simulations to enhance class materials. I firmly believe that each and every student is capable of learning and growing and I am confident in my abilities to facilitate that growth. Based on that belief, I will continue to set high but achievable goals for my students, challenging them to make the next step in their individual academic journey. I have the responsibility as a teacher to equip my students to face the real world after school. My overarching belief is that I can, and will, make a positive difference in each of my students through my teaching.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is customized to each student's needs. Because all students have different learning styles my instructions are patterned to maximize that student's particular style. After evaluating each student with a baseline test, goals and objectives based on the state's/district's curriculum are determined. My style is setting high but realistic expectations with rigorous assignments. I also try to have an overdose of encouragement and make the learning session fun time for students.
Teaching has been my last career change. My prior experience has been in the field of manufacturing, maintenance engineering services and construction management. This diversified background was instrumental in equipping me to acquire a technology education certificate in three states (NY, OH, NJ) I am equipped to tutor elementary students in math, the physical sciences and language arts.

Throughout my entire life, regardless of the endeavor, I have been driven toward education--both of myself and my responsibility to teach others. I have tutored young children, children with attention disorders, high school and college students, and adults in subjects including math, science, language arts, grammar and computer skills. I was a corporate trainer for Darden Restaurants, teaching all aspects of that industry, and am currently the principal instructor for an equestrian program in Ohio. I have continued tutoring in math, science, and English since 1998, and plan to continue as such.
My teaching style revolves around a desire to make complicated subjects as simple and accessible as possible. In teaching so many different types of learners, my methodologies are as varied as my students. A teacher's primary responsibilities are to listen, adapt and teach to the needs ... read more

I always wanted to become a math teacher, but in order to become one in a communist regime; you had to be a member in the Romanian Communist Party. So, I obtained a BS in Mechanical Engineer (172 credit hours). I was working as a designer in Romania and had in parallel a private math and physics tutoring business. At NEIU I finished a lot of credits hours toward my second BA in Secondary Education Mathematics. Meanwhile, I found a job as a Mechanical Engineer at Mercury Products. Three years ago I have relocated with my husband's company in Dayton, Ohio. Meanwhile, I found an Estimator job at PTC and I was laid off due to the economy. So, I pursued my Alternative ATL at Antioch McGregor University and finished it this year.
I really enjoy, generally speaking, helping people, but mainly help them pursue a future degree for themselves and a better life. I keep telling to my students ... read more

In high school I tutored middle school and elemetary school aged children in reading, math, and chemistry. In college I tutored other peers in history, psychology, Spanish, and math. My current position is in psychology/engineering research. I have learned a wide variety of subjects due to my past experience and my everyday working experience continues to be a great learning environment. I also currently work part-time as a Pharmacy Technician for the past 3 years. I loved my time spent tutoring in the past.
I love teaching and working with others, especially children. I first like to start with finding out where the child is confused by going over and re-teaching past assignments that were misunderstood. I like to go over past tests and make sure they understand what they missed and teach them the correct answer. I believe that this is very important so they can grasp future mater ... read more

I am a big believer in real life examples and visual cues. I write every little detail so that one can always look back to their notes and have no problem revising. Courses such as biology and psychology are comprised of a ton of theory, therefore diagrams, frequent quizzes and examples play an integral part to learning. I describe the lengthy terms and processes by breaking them down, drawing and explaining the origin of the words. On the other hand, mathematics and statistics require consistent practice. I solve the tougher questions and show the correct way to display one's work. Speaking from experience, most students make mistakes because they do not write the solution correctly. Hence I put a lot of emphasis on the writing part.
I have been in college for 3 years now and have a GPA of 3.90. My major is in Biology with a minor in Psychology. I have been accepted for the Hono ... read more
