Math and science did not always come easy to me as a student, so I know how frustrating it can be for someone to struggle in school. As a tutor, I work hard to give my students the confidence they need to succeed in and outside of the classroom. I find that it helps when students understand why the concept they’re working on is important and what it can actually be used for out in the real world. Focusing on this purpose gives students motivation, and I use this idea as often as possible. Furthermore, I pride myself on having a good, appropriate sense of humor and have the ability to keep the mood focused enough to get work done, yet light enough to alleviate some of the stress associated with working through difficult problems. I am a young engineer and Air Force officer highly motivated by the prospect of seeing others succeed. I have a B.S. in Industrial and Management Engineerin

I went from the Boston Public Schools to Commonwealth School and then Wellesley College, and would have been lost, early on, without help from tutors. I majored in English and Russian and work with several communities for whom English is not their first language. I am also a freelance writer and editor and I help my children's friends with their college essays. I work as a substitute teacher with all levels and grades and teach everything but Science and Gym. I am patient and approachable but insist on the value of completing assignments even if the student "hates" them. I am good at explaining how this will be important later, which turns around reluctant learners. I believe in explaining, showing, modelling, and then stepping back while the student tries, explains, and determines where the mistakes come up. I value resiliance, and bask in the joy of competence achieved through effort.

I enjoy teaching English especially reading and writing to children. Each child has their own sense of learning and I am available to teach this. I use many different teaching styles to help children succeed such as silent reading, group work and peer editing. When students are put in a situation where they are encouraged to succeed, anything can happen. I chose to teach in New Orleans because I am a firm believer that all children have the right and will to learn. As an English Education graduate, I have extensive knowledge teaching composition and reading. I am working toward my Masters Degree in Literacy to continue my knowledge of teaching reading and writing. I have tutored throughout my undergraduate career. Last year, I worked for teachNOLA which is a subset of Teach for America. I tutored underachieving students in English and Composition. Also, I taught at John McDonogh Senior H

I taught a computer "cap-stone" class to graduating seniors part-time at the Katherine Gibbs school for 1 semester. There were approximately 14 Seniors in the class and we utilized all of the Office programs from the creation of letterheads to the writing of business correspondence to mythical persons about various subjects. Subsequently I tutored high school seniors for the Princeton Review, an SAT prep business, for about a year and a half. This experience included working with many types of students and was a perfect venue to utilize my extensive consulting experience. As a turnaround management consultant for over 25 years, I was continually "teaching" people to implement the changes required to succeed. My teaching style is a combination of serious, in-depth theory and practical examples to demonstrate such theories, all with a hint of humor, followed by significant practice

My teaching style is firm and strong. I don't tolerate any nonsense in the classroom. I expect students to act like students. I give them respect and I expect respect in return. I have rules they must follow and when these are broken there are serious consequences. School is for learning, not playing. Playing is done on their own time, not mine. I have been an ESL teacher for 12 years in various school settings. I believe the experiences I have had in the different schools have prepared me to deal with the different situations I have had to face. For example, There have been instances when I have had to teach special education students and this required a special kind of teaching technique. While at other times I have had to teach my ESl students, and my bilingual Spanish skills have come in quite handy. Also, when I was teaching mainstream classes and fights have broken out, I h

My teaching style could be described as fun, supportive, caring, and disciplined. By disciplined I don't mean tough, hard, or mean. Students are assigned work that they are expected to complete, although it won't be too time consuming. All work is intended to improve the student's abilities in the field that I will be tutoring them. Improvement is encouraged and positively reinforced. I have tutored Music Theory, Aural Skills, and Music History for two and a half years at Adelphi University. My G.P.A. in Music Theory was a 3.4 and my G.P.A. for Aural Skills was a 4.0. I was recommended by the former Department Chair-Person to tutor a student with special needs. I have also taught lessons primarily for trumpet, but also for tuba, trombone, euphonium, baritone, and French horn.

As a recent graduate of Five Towns College I have learned to educate children in varying ways and with diverse backgrounds in first, second and fourth grade. I have also worked with children ages five through eight in an unstructured setting as a camp counselor for the past six years. Based on my experience as well as my certification as a teacher for grades first through sixth, I believe that I will be an asset at any grade level. I enjoy teaching elementary level children and try to make sure that each child is learning. If one method does not work for a child then I try a different method to make sure that they understand the material. I don't like it when students fall through the cracks of the education system and try to make sure that everyone reaches their full potential

Education in my life has been my number one motivating factor for success. Throughout my educational career I have always been organized and a group leader when it came to helping my fellow students with projects/homework/studying, etc. For many years I tutored individuals in English, Math, Social Studies/History, German, Psychology and Arts. My experiences have all been validating. Sometimes schools are limited in the amount of extra attention they can give certain students and that is where being a great tutor comes into play. In college I was a teacher's assistant for an introduction to womens studies class and it was a very rewarding experience to help other students clarify and learn information. My teaching style is relaxed, non-forceful and always understanding. I am a kindhearted person in general so when I relate to anyone else I always use the utmost respectful language and ton

I enjoy teaching and have learned that the best way to teach is to listen. I have great patience and find it a challenge to find"the" way to teach a particular student. I learned much of this from my Father who taught for 40 years at college level. In my job I have been teaching my clients for 30 years. While I hold a BA in American Labor History, I have a deep knowledge base of Central Asian, Near East and Asian history obtained from business experience. While my clients have been adults I have tutored children on an informal basis when asked.

While our society uses exams to help track students, I do not merely "teach to the test." I believe that students need to develop skills in critical thinking, analysis and grasping concepts fully, in order to get their own understanding,so as to be well rounded in their academic success. I am also an educator/tutor who believes in the basics: nothing is a worthy substitute for reading, writing and effective questioning that encourages children to think on their own. Learning should be positive for both student and teacher with the responsibility of the outcome resting on all who desire success for the student. I have been an educator and administrator for over 20 years. While I am certified in English for middle school through high school, I also assist younger students as I work with several elementary schools within the Syosset School District. I am familiar with Regents and Colle

I enjoy helping others to better understand a wide range of subjects. Every student has unlimited potential and I believe I can help them to reach it. I can patiently and effectively teach students of various ages and disabilities, while helping them to reach their academic goals. Every student learns in a unique way and my goal is to help a student to discover that way so that he or she may apply it to their future endeavors. A good teacher can make the biggest difference in a student's life and I want to make that difference. I have been a volunteering mentor with my collegiate honor's program for years in various elementary subjects with students with learning disabilities. I also worked in the university's computer lab in the work-study program for 3 years helping my professors and peers with their computer difficulties. I also tutored my fellow students in English, science, ma

People who've seen me teach describe me as relaxed, focused, and funny. For better or worse (I like to think better), I believe in age appropriate humor as part of an overall teaching philosophy. I also tend to be lively. But the bottom line is that we all understand our goals and reach them. When I walk into a classroom or even a solo session, I want to know what the student(s) needs are. I believe in teaching to the goals and then even exceeding them. At the same time, I'm not rigid at all. There are many ways to hit the target. Students come in all shapes, sizes, and moods. As a teacher, I need to accommodate that. I am currently self-employed as a computer software trainer. My practice includes clients as well as groups. As part of my work, I'm currently an adjunct professor at 2 local community colleges. I'm also a Sunday school teacher at my local congregation. I've been doing

I love being a music teacher. My upbeat personality and engaging style enables me to relate with all levels of children. I'm very learned in all areas of education and would be able to do a great job tutoring. I am an extremely talented music teacher and accomplished pianist who is proficient in reading, composing and developing musical programs. I have been working part time at Alexander Hamilton Middle /High School for 3 years and have had the chance to learn, grow and refine my skills; the only thing better would be a full time music appointment. Trained classically, I am able to incorporate traditional choral techniques with a contemporary and “pop” approach that bring out the best in each student.
