More About This Tutor...

I am a graduate of a Christian University, and I have recently completed my certification training for me to be an elementary or Middle school teacher this fall. I have tutored elementary students prior in reading, phonics, and math. I have been a youth and children's pastor for five years, while also substitute teaching. I have taken many courses in English, psychology, child development, religion, math, and other courses. I also worked for 12 years as a mechanical designer in the aerospace industry.
I love working with children and youth. I believe all students can learn, but each are individuals with different capabilities. I believe as a teacher, it is my job to help your child learn to their best of their ability. I do this through assessing your child's learning style and providing lessons tailored to your child's needs. Learning should be fun, and I incorporate learning game ... read more

I use a wide variety of approaches to teach since different students grasp concepts in differ ways. This variety has helped me to adapt as the skill levels and backgrounds of my students changed. Some of the methods I have used include a combination of illustrations, hands-on models, presentations, the internet, and any other means that appeals to students. I have explained how the concepts being presented are utilized in cutting edge research laboratories or popular consumer products.
Since attending college, I have been infatuated with teaching. To learn the best strategies for teaching chemistry to students, I took a course entitled, “Instructional Techniques in Chemistry,” and served as the sole laboratory instructor for two sections of general chemistry during my undergraduate studies. I have taught non-science major undergraduates, continuing education high school teac ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I've always had a love of learning, and have naturally slipped into an informal tutor role with friends. During high school I took several AP tests and at the same time earned the International Baccalaureate diploma, so I understand very well the pressures involved. My two bachelor's degrees (Computer Science & Engineering) give me a strong foundation in math and science. I have experience as a teaching assistant for undergraduates. In addition, for several summers I participated as a volunteer in my public library's reading program, working one-on-one with children of all ages. I feel quite confident in English thanks to my habit of recreational reading and writing, along with extensive experience writing papers, reports, and the like.
I firmly believe that you learn best when you're having fun. Once a topic fascinates you, your mind automatically engages more, which helps you ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I earned a Bachelors degree in Elementary Education from Plymouth State in New Hampshire in 1975. I have 16 years teaching experience at the elementary level teaching 5 years of 2nd grade, 8 years of 4th grade, 1 year of 5th grade, 1 year of 1st grade, and 1 year of 5/6 Language Arts and Science Resource teacher experience. I also taught 1 year at the Junior High level teaching 8th grade Pre-Algebra.
I love teaching because of the difference it makes in a child's life. I am easy to get along with and have a great sense of humor. I will apply all learning styles possible in given circumstances to ensure success and the sense of accomplishment. I am very dedicated to other interests and activities in students lives. Given the proper learning environment, structure, boundaries, tools, guidance, and willingness to learn I believe every child is capable of learning.
