I hate lecturing! I do! This is why my tutoring style is very interactive. I don't like talking AT a person, I prefer to have a conversation. My goal as a tutor is to make subjects interesting, and also to make sure they stick- so you can do well on exams. I also teach study skills in every session, so ideally you won't have to rely on me forever. I try to give students tools that they can use to teach them how to teach themselves- something they'll have to do if they're considering college. I have worked as a tutor for 10 years in all subjects, especially focusing on ESL learners. Recently, I have worked in an ESL school (FLS International) with university age students seeking to matriculate into American Universities. Before that, I worked in South Korea teaching English. While employed at these schools, I also work part-time as a tutor- mostly for middle and high school age st

In addition to earning a B.A in English from Asbury College, I have had several years experience writing articles (paid) as well as writing a book. I also worked as the writer/editor for the website content of a local tech company. I generally read what a student writes, then suggest better and smoother ways of saying the same thing. I also like to eliminate as much unnecessary words as possible. Of course I also point out errors in punctuation and spelling.

I believe in a student's capability to reach his or her goals, and find that students are much more rewarded through a learning experience in which they use their previous knowledge to arrive at conclusions, versus having someone show them the correct answers. I believe in the interconnectedness of academics and life outside of school, and try to incorporate relevant meaning into educational content. I am patient, and able to adequately address student needs, weaknesses, and strength. Most importantly to long-term success, though, I am encouraging and positive, and love helping students realize their own potential. Having grown up in Costa Rica attending a bilingual school, I am fully fluent in English and Spanish, and tutored language learners often in high school and college. I received my B.S. in Biology from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo where I was involved in the Science Education club,

Working with children of all ages is one of my greatest joys. My post graduate work focused,and continues to focus, on methods of instruction that create life long learners and teaching from each student's needs and motivations. Students possess multiple strengths, interests, and desires and it is my goal to access those attributes to spark interest and success in learning. All children can reach their potential and beyond when given the opportunity to succeed. In my twenty three years of teaching experience, I've sought cutting edge technology and methodology training. My career has included teaching all grades, K-8, either as the classroom teacher, summer school demonstration teacher, substitute or English language arts teacher. In the last ten years, I've been an English language arts teacher in grades six and eight at Stevenson School in Carmel and in the Sandwich Public Schools

My former high school students used to tell me how much they appreciated my patience with them; modestly, I would have to agree with their assessment. I believe that individuals process information in different ways, and it is my responsibility to understand the best method to help a student successfully learn. In addition to being patient, I am creative, courteous, composed, and an effective communicator. With my acute attention to detail and calm persistence, learning (specifically, writing) becomes less daunting, more tolerable, and even enjoyable. Anyone can learn if permitted to do so in a positive environment and with the proper tools; I enable such an experience as a knowledgeable and conscientious tutor. After earning my BA and CA Teaching Credential in English, my love for the language and subject drove me to complete my MA in English and Comparative Literature in less than two

I enjoy working with students, regardless of their age or capabilities. I am a patient and understanding individual who strives to provide what students need to succeed. My method revolves around helping students find their own voice, to question and think for themselves, and to guide them in discovering and making decisions of their very own. Individuality is key for success in a students' education. I also incorporate the prior knowledge and background experiences students have to further their understanding of the world around them, as well as their education. I currently hold a BA in Human Communication with a concentration in the Single Subject Waiver in English, which has provided me with the experience necessary to tutor in reading, writing, literature, and technology. I've worked for a year as a Notetaker for several disabled college students, volunteered 70+ hours as a teacher's

I have devoted myself to teaching as a profession for the last fourteen years because I feel a sense of worth in what I do. I believe that my role is that of a facilitator. My job is to help students define their goals, explore the resources they have at hand to reach those goals, and facilitate the process of meeting those goals. My choice to teach also rests on a foundation of community. As a college instructor, my worth is tied to more than the success of individual students. I strive to help students become an integral part of the communities in which they live, and I celebrate the fact that I play an instrumental role in the economic, social, and educational edification of my community. I have more than 14 years of experience as a Literature, Language, Business Communications, Technical Writing, and Composition Instructor at the college level. I hold a Master of Arts degree in Engli

As an educator, I have been given the opportunity to teach in various venues and modalities. Through these opportunities I have taught adults, children and teenagers using many techniques and styles. My education and experiences as a military spouse, an adult college student, Girl Scout Troop Leader, teacher and business owner have given me knowledge in various subject matters (i.e., English Language Learners, Language Composition, Mathematics, History, Science, Music, Business Management, and Team Building) that would benefit many levels of learning. I love teaching students to discover the answers to questions and problems that otherwise eluded them. I am a firm believer in student-centered learning, meaning the students are given the opportunity to research, discover, and progress through various techniques. Providing the appropriate learning environment is essential for a student t

I strongly believe that a successful tutor/teacher must know how to recognize students' individual learning styles and capitalize on their strengths. With all of my students, I make every effort to create a positive learning environment and to build their self-confidence. I have tutored many intelligent students who have developed mental blocks in relation to certain subjects as a result of receiving consistently negative feedback. By maintaining a learning environment that students finds agreeable, manageable, and challenging all at the same time, I am able to achieve success and make the learning experience rewarding for them. What interested me in a pursuing a teaching career was the tutoring experience I gained in high school and college. I started tutoring high school students in basic mathematics and science, and in college I was able to broaden my tutoring base to Spanish and Eng

For many years I have worked with youth, and I hope to continue doing so. I love children and have a passion for mentoring and educating. For the past two years I worked at a YMCA after-school program tutoring children, and assisting in the supervision of the program. I recently finished completing my bachelor’s degree in business management from Liberty University, and have a solid understanding of English, Math, and Science. I am a key believer that education helps a child flourish throughout life. I am patient, laid back, and sincere and want to do all that I can to make sure that a child understands the subject at hand.
