As someone who has greatly benefitted from all kinds of educational environments, I realize their are some students that need and want help outside of the classroom. If their is a student that needs and wants help to better understand their course material,I want to help that student in their quest to better themselves, and by extension their communities. I offer my experiences and skills to any student that would benefit from what I have to offer. As one who used to be a driving instructor in Cincinnati, Ohio.

I have a passion for teaching, and that is the way I teach! I am a high-energy instructor who encourages children to not only reach their goals, but to also readily accept the next challenge as well. I do not teach "at" my students...instead, I teach with them, keeping them engaged and interested in the material...and wanting to learn more! I take a sincere interest in each and every one of my students, and feel that teaching extends far beyond the academics...I essentially make a positive difference in a child's life as their instructor, and knowing that is consistently my greatest reward. . Having taught and tutored Honors English for both the private and public sector on the elementary, middle, high school, and college level, I am a dynamic enthusiastic instructor with a results-driven mindset.

I believe the first step is to always ascertain where a student is in their comprehension of the subject and what their propensity is to learn (i.e. quick learner, learns by examples etc.). That gives me an idea of how fast/slow to go and how best to get to cement actual learning. Generally, I like to get the student to arrive at answers by asking pointed questions so that their minds can understand the process versus simply memorizing the answers. I also believe in providing both positive feedback as well as constructive criticism where needed. I have always been fascinated by numbers and how the analysis of numbers can be used in nearly everything we do. I have a MBA from a top 20 program that has helped me further develop my mathematical skills in statistics and calculus.

The most important attribute to my teaching style is to get students motivated to learn. It is important to create a creative, but competitive setting where the student will take pride and ownership in his/her learning. Through my experiences of tutoring, I have found that getting students motivated to learn is critical to how successful they will be in the classroom setting. Tutoring in his/her home setting while the parent is present will yield quite contrasting results especially if the students main cause of difficulty in school is his/her conduct. I believe every student has the ability to learn and succeed. I often incorporate a reward system for my students. I have tutored in both one on one setting, and group settings, but I always try my best to cater to each student’s individual needs to insure that they reach the short term and long term goals that were set.

I show my students how to properly do a task or work through a problem and then I'll help them master the task or problem solution. It's important that my students can independently solve similar problems by using and adapting demonstrated methods. I am interested in encouraging student participation and adapting my classroom or one-on-one presentations to include various learning styles. I expect students to take some responsibility for learning what they need to know and for asking for help when they don't understand the material.

My style of teaching varies. I like to change routines from time to time and make things interesting and exciting for children. I like to incorporate interactive learning to my lessons. I also like to make use of different media such as, DVDs, Cds, CD-roms, internet, tapes, and so forth. I believe educational games are a great tool for practice also. I believe that making learning fun is the best way to get through to children. That's mainly what I try to do. It gets them excited and keeps them motivated. I believe that all children have an innate right to be taught by a qualified, trustworthy, and dedicated leader who will make every attempt to instill values of learning life and academic skills that will shape and impact their lives in a positive and meaningful way. I've tutored in a number of different schools in NY and Philadelphia and have helped students with all acad

I remember thinking years ago: "What will I ever use this for?" In tutoring my children, sometimes their friends, in addition to training my employees, I strive to create excitement by showing a need and an application for new information. I tend to retain information if I have a use for the knowledge, and believe others feel the same. Ignorance is simply the lack of information, and can be corrected with the proper presentation and guidance. The challenging and most rewarding is to find the method that "clicks" with the student, and seeing the light of realization in their eyes. Growing up the son of an English teacher, and a high school principal, education was obviously paramount in the home environment.

When I came to this country, one of my goals was to succeed and the first thing that I needed to do was to learn the English language the correct way. I enrolled in ESOL classes and was determined to master the language. I obtained a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Florida, and then a Masters degree from Phoenix University. Although my degrees are in Business Administration; I have a strong background in essays and composition skills. While in school, I wrote many research papers, analysis, and essays in various subjects of study. I enjoy teaching subjects in which I feel comfortable with. I am self confident and positive in the things that I do, and when I tutor I make sure this confidence is transferred to the other person. I am patient and place a lot of emphasis in motivating. I feel that all kids have great potential in different subject areas; unfortunately, many times t

The breadth of my experience has enriched my teaching life, but left me without a luxury some of my colleagues enjoy-the sense, as embarked upon a new challenge,tutoring students, that I know what students will need, and how best to share it with them. This is not to say that I've been tossed blind into the classroom. In most cases, I've had enough prep time to gather what seem like appropriate materials, and find out something about the students I'll be working with. What I have not had is the critical mass of sameness that accrues to the teacher who stays in the same setting, at the same level, for many years in a row. I enjoy teaching and watching my student growth and development. My teaching technique the students differ greatly in their ability to acquire knowledge depending on their previous backgrounds and learning styles. Therefore, it is a very challenging task as a tutor to cr
