More About This Tutor...

Through my years of teaching I have worked with a variety of learners with different needs. I have worked with children with Autism, ADHD, gifted children, and children with strong emotional needs. I have had to approach each individual differently and focus more on the way they learn, and less on the way I teach. I try and approach teaching from a position of equality, in which I can show what I know, and not what my students don't. As an artist, I am an extremely visual learner, and try and use visual aids whenever possible, which I have found work well for most everyone. I have a passion for teaching and my goal throughout my career has been to make learning fun and interesting, while supporting the emotional needs of my students.
I have been teaching since 2005, and doing one-on-one tutoring for just as long. I graduated with a BA in Anthropology, and an MA in Philosophy and R ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a professional editor and journalist with 20 years of experience. I have also tutored in ESL and 8-12 Language Arts and have worked as a substitute teacher in both.
I am able to make personal contact with my students and find their strengths. I use those strengths, which they might not even think they have, to encourage them and move into the subject areas they are having trouble with.

A Little Bit About Me...

Upon my graduation from high school, my calculus teacher, who had noticed my natural aptitude for mathematics and my ability to help other students to understand it, referred some younger students who had been struggling to me for tutoring. Due to my success with this first student, or rather, the student’s new found success in his math courses, my former teacher referred another student to me the following summer. In subsequent years, while I was pursuing my education, many friends and fellow students, asked me to tutor them in various topics ranging from college algebra, to statistics, to calculus. I have completed the most advanced mathematics and physics courses offered to undergraduates at the University of Michigan.
I find that many of the problems that students have with mathematics are not a result of an inability to understand the subject, but an inability to grasp the ... read more

After many years in the customer service industry; I returned back to school to acquire my Bachelors Degree in Human Services/Management.

Eight years ago my nephew became part of the Arizona juvenile system. Having dealt with all that entails, I made the decision to make a difference in childrens lives. It is my belief that children need positive role models in their life beyond the mother and father. I was lucky to have such role models in my life and would like the opportunity to be one myself.

A Little Bit About Me...

Although I have taught in a regular classroom setting, I have found that I am most successful working one-on-one with students. I love that in tutoring I can push students to understand their gifts and thus achieve their full academic potential. I have found that with the right tutoring and guidance, any student can be successful in math. I am very patient and easygoing, and yet I expect a lot out of every student I work with. I believe that students learn best by discovering and then applying these concepts to everyday life. I know that the right teacher can make a huge difference in a student’s life, and I strive to be that teacher in the way I tutor and the ideals by which I live my life.

I had two very different teaching experiences in my last semester at ASU. The first was teaching an upper-division psychology course to fellow undergrads. I had a group of 5 students that I was responsible for leading in class discussion, providing feedback on all coursework, as well as any help they needed understanding or applying the concepts. The second was acting as a tutor/mentor for students in an elementary school. I had two students with whom I spent 2 hours after school with twice a week. I planned and created fun, academically-oriented activities for these students that were tailored to meet each of their individual needs and interests. I found both experiences to be extremely rewarding. I was able to have a major impact on someone’s understanding and appreciation of something, whether it was spelling or applying critical thinking skills.
The biggest thing for me when te ... read more

As a special education teacher of six years I am fully aware of the multitude of learning styles that our students come to us with. As a teacher it is our responsibility to tap into their strenghts to bring about a thoughtful learning experience. In addition to recognizing strenghts, I am able to remediate areas of low acheivement, or when the case may be, circumvent the disability area so that the student can access the curriculum. I feel that my gift in working with students is my ability to remain calm and focused while delivering interesting lessons.
I began my teaching career with the nonprofit organization, Teach For America. With my undergraduate studies completed in Anthropology and a minor in Spanish I came to the realization that my most rewarding and interesting work had been in working with students and teachers as a tutor in the public school system. So, I decided to m ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a former paraprofessional with a Master's Degree in Social Work I have worked with kids in the past behaviorally and academically. I have a solid grasp of English, Grammar, Social Studies, and Mathematics.
I enjoy working with children of all ages. I feel my career in social work has allowed me to become more centered on compassion as a means of education, and engaging the child in the learning process while being compassionate. Children typically learn best when in a positive, comfortable situation. I would like them to feel comfortable enough to feel like they can be their best around me.

I believe that all students can be successful, it's just a matter of finding the right lever to make education enjoyable and relevant in their own lives. I successfully use cross-ciriculum education in order to teach students at a higher level of Bloom's, thus insuring greater retention rates. I use scaffolding to build upon prior knowledge in order to keep new information relevant to the student. I have a great passion for education and for helping the students reach their full potential in a way that makes them want to continue to excell in their studies.

A Little Bit About Me...

I firmly believe that education is the secret to future success. I also feel that everyone has the ability to learn and should be pushed to their personal limits. Trying to make learning as interesting and exciting as possible, by using various techniques, is the best way to engage students. Further, intelligent interaction and discussion of ideas is certain to help with knowledge retention. I try to be "real" with students (be myself) to gain trust and form a relationship. I am humorous, challenging, and always understanding.

My approach is to assess the needs of the individual. What are the learning goals? To pass a class, excel at certain content, or improve grades? This is important to understand so that we are both moving toward an identical objective and can travel together to that end. I am able to design a learning strategy for all content but particularly am knowledgeable in all social sciences and comprehension areas.
I am an educator by training, experience, and passionate interest. My Ph.D. in Instructional Technology has enabled me to assist all students with their learning challenges by devising specific and customized strategies that help each individual master content. I have been in adult learning positions in both corporate and higher education environments and would like to teach people of all ages how to learn what they need to know. I have worked with groups, online educatio ... read more

I returned to school part time in 1998 to work on a degree in physics. As a non-traditional student I was in my 30's, a single parent (three daughters), and working full time as an industrial sales rep. In 2005 I graduated with honors from New Mexico Tech with BS degrees in Physics/Astrophysics and Basic Sciences. Upon graduation I took a position as an instructor, grades 5-12, at a science camp in California for 2 semesters. For the past 2 1/2 years I have been employed as an Astronomer/Observer with M.I.T.'s Lincoln labs LINEAR program, searching for near Earth asteroids. I have wide experience and interests in both math and science. I've also taught undergraduate physics classes, substitute taught K-12, and tutored in a number of different situations.
I find teaching to be an extremely rewarding activity. I immensely enjoy the process of finding the best ways to reach a particul ... read more
