My comments on tutoring Earth Science : Earth Science was my favorite subject in high school. I am very interested in ecology and environmental studies.

I have acted as substitute teacher at the middle and high school levels for a total of 10 years, 8 of which were spent at 12 schools in Vermont and 2 at 10 schools in Hernando County FL.

I have enjoyed very much working with children and I know that every student has his own learning style and my teaching must be adapted to them. I am patient, even with children who do not speak fluent English and I seek to encourage them to seek success. I believe a phonics approach to reading can help children learn to read quickly and confidently. I also believe a hands on approach to math can be very valuable to a child's learning. I seek to see each child achieve his potential and grow in self esteem.
As I graduated from college with my California State Teaching Credential,I was able to teach 2nd grade for the Los Angeles City School District for three years. During that time I sought to gain as much experience and expertise as possible to prepare me for teaching in a school for missionary children overseas. I studied Spanish intensively for a year in Mexico preparing me ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy teaching children and helping them accomplish their goals. I believe that learning should be fun. I try to motivate each child by focusing on their strengths. I encourage each child to try their best. I believe that each child has the potential to do well in school and I feel that it is my job to help them succeed. I have helped several of my students improve their math and reading grades, dramatically! One of my students was failing math and he received a B on his last report card! The other student went from a fourth grade reading level to a seventh grade reading level in less than three months. I enjoy seeing the smiles on the children's faces when they get a good report card and it makes my job worthwhile.

I have tutored since I was in 8th grade. I love helping out and eventually I would love to be a tutor full time. Teaching other children on how to do different subjects makes me feel very happy that I am able to help them become successful in a subject that is very hard for them. I am willing to take all the time in the world for the student to make sure that they fully understand the topic that we are discussing.

Active participation defines my teaching style. I truly like and enjoy my students. Because of this sincerity, the students seem to enjoy it as well. "Hands on" seems to work best for my subject matter. Students learning is reinforced with many varied activities. A few examples include,writing and performing skits,acting out novels and plays, assuming the roles of peritnent characters, cooking, library research projects,etc. I have not only hosted many European trips, but have arranged many cultural activities for the benefit of my students as well.

My entire education came from public schools. I was blessed because I had supportive parents and wonderful teachers that shared their knowledge with me. These teachers were terrific role models who took pride in teaching and supporting their students in any way possible. I had a wonderful and long career in Banking due to the foundation that I had at home and the education that I received from caring teachers. Many of the basic skills that I learned in school became the foundation that enabled me to advance in my career. I strongly believe that every child can learn. We as educators and mentors have to find the right formula that will connect with each child.
I consider myself a very practical and patient person. I believe in setting realistic goals for children and when they meet them, celebrate it wholeheartedly. We need to reinforce and support our children in a constru ... read more

In my college curriculum and internships, I experienced and observed a great deal about people and various styles of processing information. That is, every person has a rather unique way of learning. I would think the most important point to tap into, when tutoring someone, would be to discover how he/she best learns and on what levels. My strongest subject is English and grammatical skills. I have a high degree of creativity and I am flexible and patient. The key focus in my curriculum (Therapeutic Recreation) was to discover what makes a person come alive, what is his/her passion, and to design a plan with achievable goals to enable that person to attain a higher level of morale/success.
I initially try to find what he/she is struggling with,and what strengths and weaknesses are present. I allow the person to ask questions in a fluid, spontaneous, "let's see as we tack ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

An effective education begins with a personal treat, that's why a direct and friendly style of teaching is essential. For me, it has been effectively a teaching method that stimulates the knowledge, the memory and the analysis of the subject in the student. The employment of tools and visual sources is a key to a prosper education. The hope of our future is in our children, but now it is in our hands, we have to make the difference and teach them that a good education, as well as respect for our fellows, is the beginning of a thriving society. I am patience and tactful, I love children and above all, knowledge.

My teaching style is one of discovery. Often I will talk about one thing and students will latch onto something in the discussion and steer the lesson in another direction. What they don't realise is that is exactly what I wanted them to do. Now we are learning ablut the subject I really intended to teach. I call this "Backdoor Education"
I have developed a style all my own. I lead my students by letting them find answers for themselves. I also believe that students will achieve higher test scores with my techniques. I have found that teaching HOW to take tests is as important as subject matter. I bring a great deal of experienc to this program. I taught in quite a few different learning environments. I taught rural children. I taught in the "inner city". I taught privileged and underpriveleged children. I have coached high school baseball as well as Red Cross W ... read more

I like to use fun and innovative strategies to intrinsically motivate my students. Children learn in many different ways. One of the benefits of the tutoring process is that I can find the strategy that works best for each student. I want to help your children be successful students and instill a confidence and love of learning that will serve them for the rest of their lives. I treat each student with patience, respect and kindness. I believe specific praise will help students accomplish their goals and conquer their fears. Together we can make a difference.

My teaching style involves a number of methods to accommodate a diverse classroom. Students learn differently therefore he or she ust be exposed to various styles opf teaching so the student can develop his or her learning style. I am a firm believer that open ended questions and learning through discovery enables students to remeber information. I encourage hands on activities particulaly lab assignments because these labs help students understand concepts taught during lecture. I am very patient with my students because I believe that everyone learn differently and are motivated by different things.

Literally all my life I have been asked by students, parents and teachers to help students who were having trouble. I get tremendous fulfillment from watching someone who has been frustrated finally "get it." In addition to teaching music lessons, tutoring all subjects, and homeschooling my own two children, I have worked for the last 17 years with a private school. There I have taught a wide variety of subjects, but they depend on me the most heavily for high school sciences and maths. I am currently a registered substitute teacher, state certified to teach music and high school math, and I am working toward certification in more subjects. Due to my own hunger for education, I am actively pursuing a Masters Degree in Math Education.
When I begin tutoring a new student, my first objective is for us to get to know each other. The student will not be able to receive very much from me ... read more
