French Tutor From Johnstown Pennsylvania

I like to cover the basics right off the bat, even if they may be familiar with them and then focus on whichever areas are most troubling for the student.
I began studying french in the 9th grade, became President of my high school's French Club my senior year, and then attended the University of PIttsburgh at Johnstown Majoring in Creative Writing while working on my French certification. I have 40 credits and a 3.0 but am no longer able to afford classes there.

Greensburg Tutor Seeking New Students!

I cater to the tutoring methods that I believe will be most effective for each student. I adjust my pace to fit what they comprehend and spend as much time as needed on a topic so that both I and the student are confident in their ability to accomplish their goals in a classroom setting.
I have over two years of professional tutoring experience both in classroom under professor supervision and one on one. My specialties includes subjects such as mathematics and Spanish, but I have assisted students in other subjects such as composition, grammar, and history as well. So far I have found great success while working with my students, even improving grades from F's to high B's.

Help for any English paper or project.

Fun yet educational.
Statement of Teaching Philosophy for Teaching Writing I think that teaching writing should be both fun and educational. If you do not have the fun aspect in it you can lose students and not reach others. I believe it is important to be a positive model for my students. I want my students to know that what they write can be perfected and publishable. I want them to know that they never have to feel as if they are not good enough even if they do not know exactly how to get the words they want to say out. All it takes is practice. Even using a voice recorder to record your thoughts and getting feedback on those thoughts can make writing the best it can be. I, personally, have never taught a class. I was, however, a Teacher’s Aide at a school for special needs kids. I have also worked at a daycare where I was in charge of writing lesson plans every week. In ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Hands on, Practice based, through step by step instruction. Visual learning whenever applicable. Geometry, algebra, physics, and some calculus are in my range of teaching. I am very patient as long as the student is trying to learn and cares about the work. Mental support of students is half the battle.
I am comfortable tutoring lower level math classes, mechanical design, or other engineering classes. Writing classes such as English, literature, or fine arts are fine as well. I have a BS in Mechanical and Aerospace engineering from MIZZOU. I am very proficient in technical editing, critiquing papers and writing technical papers.

A Little Bit About Me...

Most lessons can be taught in various styles but teachers are often faced with a curriculum guideline that they must follow. Often they do not have time to reteach the lesson and students begin to fall behind. With encouragement, guidance, and a new approach, many students can not only "catch up" but also stay succesful in that class.
I have been employed by the Cambria Heights School District for 14 years as a Title 1 educator. I currently am involved in curriculum math and reading. My job mainly deals with helping students achieve success by developing learning skills that fit the individual needs of specific students and adapting regular classroom instruction to fit those needs.

I thoroughly enjoy sharing my love and appreciation of the Spanish language, particularly with younger students, and as oppossed to instructors having only academic experience, I bring added color and enthusiasm to the tutoring experience by having actually lived and worked in Latin America throughout my life. I believe in incorporating elements of Latin culture and customs as well as geography and history into discussions and assignments which I feel adds realism and relevance, and is more likely to spark interest and enthusiasm in the student.
I was raised in Latin America through age 18, and learned Spanish beginning at infancy. I maintained my native-level fluency into my professional life as a career federal law enforcement officer, during which I was assigned to posts in Latin America for a total of 15 years as a representative of the U.S. Government.

More About This Tutor...

I have been very successful in academics throughout my education. I was valedictorian of my high school, and I received the top honors in English, French, and Accounting. I also maintained a 4.0 average throughout my college education.
I love working with children of all ages and abilities and helping them with academics. I don't believe I have a specific teaching style. I know that I have to be flexible and creative with each student. Everyone learns differently, and I feel it is my obligation to find what works for each child. I do belive in providing hands on and real life scenarios when teaching.

More About This Tutor...

I have experience teaching many types of students. I worked one-on-one, daily, with an autistic student during my last position, so I understand that not every student learns in the same way. I think it works well to give shorter lessons to a small group, and then work individually with the students. I like to encourage them to help one another if they feel confident in the subject. I pay great attention to verifying that each student is following the lesson. My main teaching style is "I do, you do," meaning I show them how to do a problem, or spell a word, and then they show me how. I like to work with the parent and child on any goals they have for the year, while updating the parent and child on progress, problems, and behavior.
I have been working with preschool to high school age students since 2004. I have always had tutoring positions, whether it was for my peers in college, ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As an educator, my main objective is to create a positive learning environment where my students are eager to explore, take risks, share ideas, and acquire knowledge. I am a strong believer in the student-centered teaching approach, which allows students to explore and take risks as they acquire knowledge. I want my enthusiasm for learning to establish a lifelong positive attitude for learning in my students. By helping them discover their own personal passions, I can watch their curiosity come alive. With patience and understanding, all students are capable of making great strides. The feeling of reward and satisfaction that I will get watching a student succeed at any task, simple or complex, is priceless.
As a Penn State graduate, I was motivated to achieve a high level of excellence in my teaching career. I maintained my standing on the Dean's List all eight semesters of my ... read more

I have taught mathematics, statistics and technical math for 15 years. Primarily my audience has been working adults seeking to take a certification examination. In my training as a Certified Six Sigma Green Belt and Quality Engineer, I use many mathematical models, including algebra, geometry, statistics, and engineering modeling.
My teaching style is not memorization but rather practice. The best method that I found for teaching math based subjects is step by step work throughs for each problem. By taking the time to step through each math problem, the student learns the theory (Algebra, geometry, etc) as well as the solution. Just solving the problem doesn't teach them as much as understanding HOW to get the solution

As a recent graduate of a private liberal arts institution with a degree in Medieval and Early Modern Studies and a concentration in pre-medical courses, I have a diverse and extensive understanding in several areas of study, both in the humanities and the sciences. Having completed a senior thesis as well as various essays in all disciplines, I feel that I have a commanding grasp of the English language and superior writing skills, and the proper knowledge needed to tutor in several areas.
I have always enjoyed tutoring children; in high school, I actively participated in a youth tutoring program, but I also feel very comfortable tutoring older students and adults.

More About This Tutor...

Education has always been extremely important to me. I have recently retired, having taught third grade for over thirty years. I worked in the public school system during this time, tutoring Math. I have tutored and aided my nieces from elementary school to the present. I still help them with papers and studying for tests. Additionally, I am presently taking a course dealing with the writing of children,s books.
I have always enjoyed working with children, especially those of the second, third, or fourth grade level. I am patient, helpful, and considerate. I believe that there are different ways to learn and attack problems, and that all children can succeed if only encouraged to do so. I also believe that practice and learning by doing are essential in learning. I always try to make a difference in students' lives.

I have acquired the skills and methods necessary to educate today's children. In addition to a BA degree in Early Childhood Education and Psychology, I am ESOL endorsed, and have completed all of my training for Reading First Academy and the Early Success Program.

A Little Bit About Me...

Through my independent studies, and the theories of teaching that I've learned, I know that students learn in different ways. I am a staunch believer in the teacher making any and all necessary adaptations to help students reach their and my maximal expectations. Beyond the skills that a student must possess to attain their goals and succeed, the teacher must first instill a sense of worth and inspiration to drive the student. Whether it is a better grade or just the intrinsic value of learning something, all students must be given something to strive for. I hope to truly teach all of the students that I will encounter in my lifetime some sort of skill that will be of true value to them.
I've been an avid, life-long reader and writer. I never intended to become a teacher until I began to work with children who have autism. My passion to work with kids, and teach, started in those f ... read more
