As I entered college, I quickly was labeled a tutor by my friends. They would find me before exams so I could give them a crash course on what they needed to know before an exam. Little by little, I had a following of friends and acquaintances who were reliant on me to do well in their courses. Since my friends and classmates found me very helpful, a handful of them recommended me to a tutoring and peer mentoring program at the University, where I eventually worked. I was located in a center where any student could reach me if they needed help in their science courses. I tutored a large range of science courses, ranging from advanced biology and chemistry courses to basic sciences. I like to keep a student well organized. This allows me to pinpoint exactly where the problems are so I can concentrate the time on the problem areas. Organization also ensure the student keeps up with

In tutoring any of the traditional subjects (Latin, Greek, formal/informal logic, rhetoric, critical thinking), I emphasize the objectives common to them all: (1) acquisition of context-specific vocabulary, (2) a feel for the flexibility and polysemy of a given word's lexical-semantic meaning, (3) a comprehension of the text's thematic, stylistic, and evaluative undertones and progression. The three, taken together, require us to formulate arguments by sifting through material, with an eye to analysis on how texts are crafted for presentation in terms of form and content. The result is an understanding on how these three are essential for reading, arguing, and, ultimately, thinking critically. Subjects Tutored: Besides the aforementioned subjects, I also tutor for calculus and chemistry. I earned my B.A. from Tulane University magna cum laude in classical languages and philosophy. I

I am currently studying Secondary Education with a concentration in English as SUNY New Paltz. I will be graduating in December 2009. At SUNY New Paltz I have been prepared above and beyond what is required for teachers in New York. At SUNY New Paltz, we believe in being over prepared and learning in a diverse environment. I have developed many writing skills due the number of papers I have written. I have also taken many electives including Literary Criticism and Creative Writing in order to further my skills and knowledge in all areas of literature. I have tutored students at a juvenile delinquent facility for a year and I have completed 70 hours in the classroom as an aide and observer.

I chose the field of education because I believe that every child deserves to be educated in a safe, caring, and stimulating environment where they can strive to meet their maximum potential. Every student is capable of learning and succeeding with the right differentiated instruction that meets their individual needs. I believe in a hands on approach to teaching where students are encouraged to discuss their learning process in a classroom that is filled with rich discussions and free of ridicule. Each student that I have worked with has left with greater confidence and a life long love of learning. Since graduating from Queens College with my degree in Mathematics and Elementary and Early Childhood Education I have had the opportunity to work in many different areas of education and taking on many different roles. I have tutored students from grades kindergarten through 12th grade and

I love opening students' eyes to the wonders of science. It is my experience that a student can learn anything, even the most complicated scientific theories, if the teacher is patient and engaging. In teaching, I find the key to unlocking the minds of the students is to find the appropriate analogy or metaphor. If a teacher can aptly relate a concept the student doesn’t understand to one that the student does understand, not only will the student learn the new concept, they will be far less likely to forget it in the future. I find this method to be effective in teaching concepts as complicated as quantum physics, and in teaching concepts as non-intuitive as learning how to play a drum roll. While earning my undergraduate degree in Physics, I took advantage of a work-study opportunity at Franklin and Marshall and became a Physics and Chemistry Tutor for the introductory classes. I

I enjoy helping students who need extra help. I have much patience and understanding. I start from the ground up, don't skip any steps and become familiar as I can with students abilities, strengths as well as weaknesses. I enjoy making a difference in students lives. Both my high school and my GED students appreciated my help very much. Have a BS degree in Economics from Fordham University. Twenty years of experience writing real estate appraisal reports have improved my writing abilities greatly. High School regents final grades were 98 on Algebra. 96 on geometry and 78 on trigonomitry (hardest class in high school). I believe I got a B in calculus both in high school and college. Have privately tutored math students in high school and college as well as over the past four years. Helped several students pass GED as well as do well in Algebra and Geometry. Have recently receiv

I like to use the hands on approach. I find out what the weaknesses are of my students and address the topics by giving a general review. I present a problem for them to work out. After a few minutes, I ask them what they think is the best way to approach the problem. If they cannot come up with one, I then guide them through the appropriate thinking pattern in order for them to solve the problem. For me repetition of different related problems is the key to success. I elected to be a stay at home mom after a successful career. I wanted a flexible work schedule and thought about tutoring. I found that I loved tutoring students ranging from elementary to college level. I found much satisfaction in students' improved grades and the mastery of the subject that I was able to impart. I strongly believe that education is the doorway to a successful career and tough subjects such as math and sc

I have lots of energy, and love to help people understand things they are struggling with. I really enjoy teaching people about subjects I personally enjoy, especially the sciences. I am highly reliable, have my own car, and have been teaching for over a year. But what will really set me apart is my passion and enjoyment for teaching others. I have earned two bachelor degrees from Stony Brook University, one in Philosophy and one in Environmental Studies. I am about to begin my Masters in Marine Conservation and Policy at Stony Brook University this January. I have worked as a professional tutor for over a year, both in New York and Maryland. I am an employee of Vantage Academic Solutions in Virginia, where I serve as a personal tutor. I teach middle school, high school, and college math and science subjects, as well as philosophy.
