Fun and creative teacher

I am a certified math teacher with a concentration in middle school math and algebra. I have been a teacher for nine years and I have been a private tutor for over ten years. I make learning fun and creative so that students can grasp the concept that they are needing help in. I expect high expectations from all my students. I am currently in graduate school to receive my masters in educational leadership. I am excited to work with students to help increase their knowledge.

Do my best to help the rest

I love helping the students reach their full understanding of the topic in easy ways.
I have a five year experience over which I learned different students' techniques of learning and understanding the curriculum. I have developed better methods of explaining things to students who couldn't understand the topic. Through God's help and my tutoring, my tutees' grades have nearly doubled and reached over a 100.

The model of students as empty vessels filled by professors’ pontifications has too long prevented the former from accessing their full potential as learners. When students are given the trust and challenge to handle material maturely, they rise to the occasion. This may be through discussion, Q&A, or independent assignment, as long as the student is given the opportunity to excel. An educator's responsibilities are to find which method that best offers students the chance to use their unique skills to succeed and then to make subject material relevant to one’s daily life and future. This develops accountability, drive for further education, and development of the student’s own inherent talents. A student thus taught is more confident in their achievements and better prepared for life in the classroom and beyond.

I'm patient and understanding the complexities of accounting and the ensuing panic that it sometimes causes. In my experience the fundamental reason people need tutoring boils down to a failure to truly understand the concept of the debit and credit. I always begin by reviewing these concepts and ensuring that the student/intern fully understands the logic behind the debit and credit. Once understood, the comfort level with accounting fundamentals drastically improves and we can move on from there. I thoroughly enjoy seeing the improvement in my students/interns and the thanks that I receive at the end of their time with me. I love to hear it and will never tire of hearing it because it is the reason I encourage the experience.

My teaching style varies with student learning styles. Although drill may be appropriate for some skills, my preference is project or problem based methods that draw on the learner's experiences and interests. I work from students' current skill levels, provide challenging problems, model successful learning skills, encourage students' to express creativity and intuition, and employ formative and normative assessments. I firmly believe that more advanced mathemtaics can be taught to younger and more diverse students. I believe that all students, of all skill levels, can learn mathemtaics if creatively taught.
I have spent over 30 years in business and financial consulting. My lifelong passion has been for mathematics and education. I have reached a point in my career where I can focus on giving back of my talents to students through mathematics education. I have minimal formal teac ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Because I have an extensive background in Psychology, I have a strong understanding of the learning process, as well as many other factors that affect it. I focus on each individual child's strengths and use that to bring their weaknesses up to a higher level. Through patience and encouragement, I believe that most children can experience dramatic improvements in their abilities. I am able to explain complex ideas clearly, in simple terms that are understandable. Then I expand on what the child already understands until they have mastered the more advanced concepts. I greatly enjoy the excitement, challenge, and reward of enriching a child's life through education.
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Southern Illinois University. This gives me a broad knowledge base in many educational arenas. I have tutoring experience with the program "Second Chance Saturdays" fo ... read more

I love teaching, and I have experience working with varied age levels and learning levels. As a private tutor, I have also worked with many students who have varying learning disabilities, and I have used my knowledge to help develop techniques that help them learn too. One of my greatest strengths is my ability to express complex information to diverse groups of people in an understandable way. Everyone thinks a little differently and learns differently too. I practice patience and enthusiasm with my students. I work independently with my students to find out what type of learner they are. I create a friendly rapore with my students and use constructive criticism. Teaching through theory doesn't work with every student, so I often find ways to incorporate my students' interests into their learning. I believe that learning should be fun, so I always try to make my students laugh and en ... read more

I have had the opportunity to work and help develop young minds for a few years. After college, I tutored full time at a high performing urban charter school where I worked on basic remedial skills with students. I have continued to work with young people to build confidence in their skills and improve their performance in school and on tests. I have tutored students from 5th grade through 12th grade, focusing mostly on math all the way to calculus and English.
I believe that the most important characteristic that a teacher must have is consistency. The teacher must develop a system of rigorous work with ample support. I believe that it is imperative to possess an in-depth knowledge of the subject which one teaches, not just be a few pages ahead in the book. In order to achieve this high level, I prepare meticulously for each session, reach the student on his or her level and help ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I graduated with a bachelor of arts degree and had the opportunity to work with young children while employed at my university's child development center. This allowed me to gain experience with children and learn different cognitive abilities of a diverse group of youngsters. I have also worked with elementary students who are overage for grade and needed help with reading. I have learned writing skills, technically and creatively through research papers assigned through my institution of higher learning. I am experienced in reading comprehension and would love to broaden my horizons to other areas that can be helpful to an array of learners, such as English and grammar.
I love helping children build the foundation for learning through reading. It is so rewarding to see that those who once struggled in reading can progress to a much faster reading speed and reading level. I am pas ... read more

I have an uncanny ability to see the best in all students, patience, understanding, and flexibilty are virtues in tutoring. Each student is unique and needs an individual style of assistance.
