I worked in the financial sector for 10 years and have a Master's Degree in Economics and Finance. Since then I have focused my efforts into freelance teaching, and have worked with students in a variety of subjects: chess, math, finance, language arts, history, piano, and writing, among others. Other subjects I’ve studied informally: literature, language, history, politics & government. I believe that each student has a unique learning style of that must be discovered in real-time. Therefore I tailor the lessons towards an open, organic, collaborative process. I focus on small incremental steps designed to build momentum and flow states, which is the best way to start anything. The goal of any lesson is to bring the student to a place where they can learn on their own. The purpose of learning is fun!

I have 30+ years of experience helping students with a variety of disabilities which include language disorders. My experience encompasses Early Childhood Special Education, Elementary, Middle, High School, and post-secondary. I have helped students with ADD/ADHD, Autism/Aspergers/PDD-NOS, learning disabilities, multiple disabilities, medically fragile, language impaired and ESL (English as a Second Language). Students learn best when they feel safe to explore and learn from past mistakes. In fact, 'mistakes' should be viewed as opportunities to improve skills and learning strategies. I use 'play therapy' most often to teach skills and strategies. Multiple studies have demonstrated that children learn best through play.

I graduated from Princeton University with a BA (cum laude) in History and will be starting a Ph.D. program in History in the fall. I served as a tutor at the middle school level during my college years and have worked with High School students on History, English and ACT/SAT prep for the past year.I have also served in various other academically-related positions, including as a research assistant and library assistant. I like to nurture my students without enabling them. I tend to ask my students pointed questions about the subject at hand to inspire critical thinking and push them to arrive at their own interpretation of the correct answer. I feel that this best prepares them for college-level work.

I have a liberal arts degree in international studies and experience in the area. I approach teaching and tutoring the way I approach sociology and human rights—with great enthusiasm and interest. Since my early college years, I felt the intense desire to make an impact in our world by influencing future generations. I wanted to wake up young minds to the multiple injustices taking place in their communities as well as around the world and instill in them the desire to change the world. The middle school, high school and college setting gives me the opportunity to engage the student in a stage of their lives where they are willing to try anything that may broaden their horizons. Furthermore, I honor the great pedagogical thinker, Paulo Freire, who believed that educating is just a reciprocal process: teachers as well as students learning from each other. Though my primary field is soci

As you can see, I have had very little tutoring experience, but my desire and passion has always been to share my knowledge and skills with those who need assistance in the area of accounting. I have done much volunteer work in my field of accounting and business administration via not much with tutoring. I would enjoy, appreciate and count it a blessing to be able to share and in part my educational experience and knowledge with student of all grade levels. I have many aspirations and goals and one of them is teaching in my field of accounting and maybe this is the door that will lead me into that direction. It is difficult to enter that arena, because my I started out in the business and financial arena and not the educational arena. Although, I do not have much tutoring experience, I have a love and passion for children and young adults. My desire is to see them excel in all that

I like to teach by using examples (as many as it takes) and by breaking down difficult concepts into relevant, manageable information for the person I'm assisting. Positive reinforcement is a major part of how I teach. I am a fun, patient person that enjoys helping others, and I am confident that I can help your child meet and exceed his/her education goals. I am a recent graduate from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, with a BS in Business Administration - International Business and a focus in Chinese. Because this program is relatively new, a degree in International Business required multiple Finance courses, which allowed me to learn many advanced statistical and mathematical concepts. In these classes, I often assumed an informal tutor role and helped my fellow students understand difficult points. In addition, I trained new employees during my tenure as Lab Manager of

My experience as an Accountant has led to many rewarding experiences starting with working for a big-six accounting firm as KPMG, LLC in New York City. The exposure to the dynamics, complex situations, and expertise of colleagues and clients alike, gives you a well rounded understanding of how accounting is the language of any business in any industry. As an Accountant, you not only use your skills and analytical ability to resolve some difficult business problems, but also learn how to communicate them in a clear and concise manner. Once you reach a proficiency in your abilities as an Accountant, there are many different areas of business that are open to you because you are wee versed in how a business or industry works. My teaching style is practical. I try to relate the accounting principles and axioms to a situation the student is familiar with in there everyday lives, i.e., grocer

During my senior year at Kalamazoo College I tutored in the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT), as well as designing the curriculum for and delivering a free class in the same topic. I graduated as the top Philosophy student in my class after serving as an Honors Teaching Assistant in Philosophy of Law, and then continued on to undergo summer training with Teach For America. I currently teach algebra, study skills, and civics in a cross-categorical special education setting in an urban school district. I am also tutoring for the LSAT in my spare time. I believe that the most important element determining the degree to which a student will achieve is the level of expectations that are set for them. High, clear expectations with consistent feedback on progress is absolutely critical to making the most significant academic gains possible. Students should know exactly what they are expec

My style of teaching varies with the child, their age, personality, subject, and amount of time we have. Besides teaching 2nd grade religion for 14 years my daughter has ADD. I have worked with kids who need to keep moving while they learn, to kids who need complete quiet. Some kids are more visual learners; others need to act the lesson out, while others do fine quietly reading. The important thing is to make it interesting so they WANT to learn. Older kids with a higher level of maturity don't require as entertaining a lesson. They want to see how to apply what they are learning to their life. To know there is a reason to learn makes them WANT to learn, understanding WHY they will need to know the information makes the learning easier. I have worked as a financial analyst and sr. plant accountant for fortune 500 companies for over 20 yrs. During which I designed, planned, implement

I understand that students learn at different speed, but this speed can be improved with time and constant practice. Everybody have the ability to learn if given the opportunity, and this is what I am always willing to do. I enjoy teaching because I know I can bring out the best in my students I have four years teaching experience in all levels of education. I have been involved helping students improve their learning skills. Students need a teacher that can break complex problems to simple forms for better understanding, and this is my role. I have experience in math and science.
