My first goal is determine the level the student is currently at with the particular subject and work my way forward from there. I determine exactly what the student doesn't understand and attempt to break it down for them as much as possible until it's clear. My experience includes 2 years as a Youth Counselor for the City of Tallahassee (1999 & 2001). I am also the oldest of 5 children with the age difference ranging from 6-16 years, so I've had the responsibility of assisting my siblings with school work. I currently continue to provide assistance as requested by my parents or siblings. I recently began mentoring a prospective accounting major who is in her 2nd year of college and I provide help with her studies. In High School, I took accounting courses as elective and participated in FBLA (a business club) and won first place in an accounting competition (2000). My work experience

I believe that it is essential to expect excellence and encourage that in the learning child. I believe that all life activities and situations can become a class for the young child and that positive input is the only acceptable criteria. Achedemic learning can be so much fun and can be applied to any segment of a child's daily activities. I have found that if a child feels that the teacher genuinely cares for him/her, that child can exceed even his/her own expectations. I understand the learning process and highly respect the individualized patterns that it can take. This is a part of the thrill of teaching and watching the light go on in a child. I am the mother of seven children ranging in ages from 32 to 18. I home-schooled them for 16 years and tutored them when they entered the public school system. In 1995, I worked for two years teaching an early intervention reading program

My first goal is to establish rapport with my student. I want all of my students to know that I am approachable, friendly and knowledgeable. I have learned that students achieve when they are engaged in the learning process. My goal is to create safe, stimulating and rewarding experiences for the student who in turn learns by actively participating in the learning process. I see myself as a facilitator more so than a "teacher". I know that each child is different and has an individual learning mode. I am committed to helping each child to experience success. Accomplishment builds self esteem which leads to courage to try new and more difficult educational challenges. I enjoy seeing children reach satisfying goals. I have over 20 years of teaching experience both in the USA and abroad. I have taught elementary grades K - 6th and multicultural students as an ESOL certified teacher. M

I find an interactive, Socratic teaching style in which I encourage the student to discover the answers on their own to understand why something works the way it does is a very effective approach for me rather than just lecturing, particularly for younger learners. I find it equally important for students to understand the why of what they are learning as well as the how and the what. I believe that students' multiple intelligences should be harnessed and that if students don't understand information presented initially, it is up to the teacher to find different ways of presenting the information so that the student can make it his or her own. I have over 11 years of experience providing in home tutoring to individual high school, elementary school, and middle school students as well as adults for test preparation as well as for academic subject preparation. I have also had 6 years of

I have been working with children of all ages, from diverse backgrounds, and in a variety of environments for many years. I have been a camp counselor, swim instructor, piano teacher, and religious education teacher. I currently have been substitute teaching in grades K-12. My bachelor’s degree in English with a minor in Communication studies in addition to my current graduate work has allowed me a strong command of the English language. I am most confident teaching reading, writing, and other areas of language arts. My vast array of experiences has also allowed me comfort in teaching the basics of mathematics, science, and the arts. Being a tutor allows one to reach out and find the most personal and effective way to connect and instruct a student. My exposure to the many learning styles of students has taught me the importance of first understanding the student's learning style.

Through my educational experience thus far, I have found the method of facilitating to be a highly beneficial style of teaching. I have learned that if students take part in their learning, they will retain more information and be more confident in their abilities. These methods prove to stimulate social, emotional, physical and academic growth. I love working with children and will continue to be a positive influence in their lives. As early as 9th grade, I was an educator. I began to volunteer as an elementary tutor, and continued this role throughout my high school career. It was because of this experience that I attended college and majored in English with a minor in Literature & Education. In these areas I have gained many skills such as, essay writing, grammar knowledge, research and creative writing. I have tutored all subjects on the elementary level, k-12 special needs,

My work experience coupled with my educational background would make me a valuable tutor to any student needing my help. In the past I have conducted training courses for employees, I was also a tutor during my years in college. I love teaching children and adults alike. I beleive teaching should be tailored to each individual, because we are all different and learn at a different pace. I also beleive that you should make your teaching relatable to the subject if interest of the student.If a student has a passion for mussic try to use that as an avenue for your lessons,once they are engaged in something they are passionate about it would make learning even more fun.

Throughout high school and college, I have tutored various ages in a wide array of subjects. I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Psychology with a minor in Child Development. During college, I volunteered as an after school mentor/tutor for children ages 6-10. I provided them with help on their homework and created different educational activities for the children to do. These activities were designed to make learning fun and exciting and it helped the children to grasp many different concepts, especially with math and spelling. In college, I tutored my peers in different subjects including mathematics and psychology. After college, I taught preschool for a year. I have always enjoyed working with children but this was my first opportunity to teach. I find that children learn better with a hands-on approach. I tried to make sure that everything I taught the children in my class

Because I believe in the success of all students regardless of present levels, my students have had significant success in all areas and have gained positive feelings and confidence in themselves as life-long learners. I love children and want to impart to them a desire to keep striving for the best. It is important to try different methods and strategies to reach the needs of each individual child. Instruction must be differentiated and made enjoyable to tap into students' creativity and interests. All Students Are Learners and Are Special!

In my experience as a tutor, I can definitely say that it is one of several enjoyable jobs that a college-graduate such as I can have. In my previous years volunteering as a Peer-Tutor, I certainly did an excellent job helping other students with their subjects especially in grasping the abstract concepts of Mathematics. Out of all the subjects I've tutored in the past, Mathematics seems to be the one that most students struggle with. That which I have done to facilitate student understanding and relationship with math is by providing very intelligible, concise, and simple explanations including demonstrations of the relationships amongst the concepts thus, facilitating the students' understanding of mathematical structures. I have chosen education as a career because I believe that education is perhaps the most important function performed in our culture, or for that matter, any culture

As a Florida A & M University graduate with a B.S. in Biological and Agricultural System Engineering, I have extensive experience with various levels of math and science. I had a strong will to learn and a certain knack for explaining things while I was enrolled in college. I also have utilized extensive grammatical skills in writing research papers and essays for school along with reports and proposals for my job. In the past 4 years I have tutored many people in math and I am confident I will be able to assist others in language arts and science if needed. I love teaching and helping kids. Since both my parents are in education it something that I have always been around. My mother works with troubled children and she always says they just need people to give them a chance and a little extra time. I believe that all kids can achieve given the right circumstances.
