I'm patient and listen to the student to see what they get and don't get about the premise of the lesson. Then we get to it. Careful reinforcement of the Correct method will ensure Remembrance and Results. Also, Lessons must be approached within the context of the Big Picture. Students need to realize that there are no pointless or forgettable sections. Basically, communication is key followed by practice, reinforcement, more practice. Learning can be at pace, but laziness and whining will not be tolerated. I have a Bachelor of Art in History, predominantly American. I also pursued Engineering for my first year and plan to go back to College. I have completed through Calculus II and am also experienced in hands-on mechanical. I have limited tutoring experience, but I know I can listen and respond. Any experience came from helping others in classes during College.

I have 9 years of experience in teaching chemistry and physics at the high school level. Additionally, extensive experience teaching/tutoring a myriad of other subjects, such as, earth science, algebra, trigonometry, biology, CPR/first aid, GED prep and various adult education classes. I also have 15 years of practical laboratory experience as a laboratory chemist with increasing levels of responsibility. To teach is to "impart knowledge or skill to somebody by instruction or example" while education is defined as "to develop mentally, morally, or aesthetically especially by instruction". I aspire to be an educator, as defined above. While I believe in the content of the sciences, I am interested in evoking the thought process to utilize the scientific method as a problem solving technique applicable to all areas of life. Through life, didactic specifics of chemistry may wane, but t

My teaching style is unique to each student's indivdual needs. I take time to recognize my students learning style and provide the need materials or teaching style based their needs. I prefer tutoring to working in a classroom because I can give each student the specialized one-on-one time they need to help not only keep them on track with their school's requirements, but also introduce them to better study habits that could help them excel in the classroom when they do return to school. During my years attending UMass Dartmouth, I recieved my Bachelor's Degree in Sociology with a minor in Business Administration. But I also gained alot of experience working with children. I tutored elementary age students in the star program and college students at my campus job in the Unity House. I also was the coordinator for the New Bedford Speech Academy. This program taught students fron 4-6t

My teaching philosophy and primary goal is to first understand and appreciate each child for their unique abilities, strengths and weaknesses, then to channel those abilities toward a better appreciation of the practical value of science and math knowledge. Learning comes easiest when students find benefits to knowledge. Each assignment represents a short term goals, building a student’s confidence with each successful completion. I find by encouraging students to avoid distractions, focus and manage their time effectively, it is much easier to make significant progress on difficult teaching concepts and retain knowledge . I can offer a student a broad educational perspective with a Ph.D. in the medical sciences and 18 years experience in the Biotech industry. My teaching experience began on the faculty at the UMass Medical School (1993-1999), where I tutored high school, undergradu

I strongly believe that all students can find success as long as they work for it, and are encouraged to reach their goals. I am very patient with my students, and allow them to really think about the problem and work toward a workable solution. In my small group sessions I will usually present an example and have the students work on it while I go to each student to make sure they are understanding the problem. Seeing the student's progress through their course and enjoy knowing how to do the problems is the real enjoyment that I get out of tutoring At Bridgewater State College I started tutoring general chemistry and organic chemistry in the Fall of 2006. I am receiving my degree this May, and have already been accepted to a few PhD programs in chemistry. I am looking for a tutoring job or jobs for the summer, and possibly for longer. I have tutored small groups of five to eight studen

My passion as a teacher is working with children. I have a passion for education that I hope to show through my teaching and share with all of my students. I believe every student learns differently and has strengths and weaknesses. My goal is to get to know my student's leaning styles and help them develop their strengths and use those strengths to improve the areas that are more difficult for them. I believe in Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences and I use the intelligences as often as possible in my lesson plans. I believe that there are many ways to learn and some thing that works for one student might not work for all. Through my teaching style, I will help my student's have a passion for learning. I have a unique resume of teaching experience. I have worked in a number of settings from pre-school to teaching adults. I have taught in public schools, private scho

As a professional educator it is my responsibility to make sure that all my students are given the skills and tools they need to help them to be successful in their next grade level. I currently teach AM/PM kindergarten which means I have to find fun and engaging ways to teach students all the skills they need to acquire in kindergarten in half the time that many of my fellow kindergarten teachers. I also have experience teaching preschoolers, ages 3-5 years old, both with and without disabilities. That job taught me to adapt lesson plans for all age and ability levels. I have a Bachelor’s of Science in Child and Family Studies, along with an Early Childhood (birth-age 8) teaching license, and at this time I am pursuing my Master’s in Special Education. My favorite thing about teaching is when my students finally understand and make a connection to what I have been teaching them. I be

I very much have a "hands-on" teaching style. I am a visual learner myself, so my teaching style reflects that methodology. I explain the concept, demonstrate the process, reintroduce the steps and then allow my students to practice, practice, practice while offering guidance, suggestions, and positive reinforcement. I am very aware that all students are different. What I have come to learn is that with patience and the desire to truly want each child to succeed, all students can learn. I am a veteran so I pride myself on being organized and disciplined. I am also a volunteer in nursing homes so I consider myself to be compassionate, patient and understanding. I have been in Education for over 20 years. Most recently I have been a substitute teacher in all subject areas and grade levels. I have a strong Science background and I am a published author so I am proficient in Reading/Writin

I graduated from Endicott College in 2007 with a BA in Liberal Studies, and a concentration in Elementary Education. While there I completed 2 month long internships in classrooms as well as a semester long internship in a 3rd grade classroom. I hold a preliminary license with the MA DOE in Elementary Education. I spent 5 months working with children with severe to profound mental retardation in a group home setting. Most recently I have taken a position as a teacher in a GED program. We serve students of all ages and abilities in a low income urban setting. My range of abilities working with students is vast. I have a passion for learning, and that carries over into my teaching style. I believe in using hands-on, engaging lessons and activities as much as possible. I have seen first hand how much a classroom dynamic can change when students are engaged in their work. Regardless of the s

I am a recent graduate of the University of Rhode Island with a BS in Wildlife Conservation Biology. My academic background includes much coursework in biology, chemistry, physics, other sciences, and math. I won a scholarship due to my high GPA in the sciences, and was also a Coastal Fellow - doing a research project with the Audubon Society of Rhode Island and presenting my results in a scientific poster during a special presentation. I graduated With Honors. I have also worked as a teacher and have taught math and science to both high school and middle school students. I believe understanding of science and math is essential in today's world. I also believe this understanding is not beyond the grasp of any student, as long as they are given patient instruction, the relevance and importance of the subject is provided, and interest is suitably generated.

I've have always enjoyed working with children of all ages, and find that each child is unique. Each one learns in their own way, and one of my greatest strengths is being able to discover how each child learns best. I am a patient, easy going and perceptive person and believe that I can help any student get the most out of their education. My goal is to become a teacher because I love imparting enthusiasm and knowledge to children; I want to have the opportunity to be a positive role model and influence children in a positive direction, much like the teachers I had while growing up. I am currently studying to become a High School Biology Teacher and will be taking the Mass. Test for Education License in May 2011. In 2009 I joined AmeriCorps and worked for the Mountain Studies Institute in Durango Colorado. While I was there, I held educational workshops, presentations and forums. Whil
