More About This Tutor...

I have been a substitute teacher for the past two years covering all grade levels from pre-k three up to senior year in high school. I am a Master's Degree candidate in Elementary Education at Wilmington University. I enjoy students at every level and am amazed at what a difference a year makes in their development. Previously, I worked as a copywriter and I spent a lot of years writing and editing. I really enjoy the one-on-one or small group approach to teaching, which is why tutoring is so appealing to me.
I like to incorporate a sense of humor in my teaching - I believe when children can relax they are much more open to learning. I am also sensitive to children's different learning styles whether they are visual, auditory or kinesthetic, and tailor my approach accordingly. No two sessions are ever the same! Each student has unique needs and challenges and my job is to work "th ... read more

I enjoy helping people learn something new. I think anyone can do anything they put their mind to. I would allow the student time to get to know me so they would feel comfortable with me. Students sometimes feel too vulnerable to try things when they don't know someone because they do not want to make mistakes. I would let them know that the only way to get better at something is to make mistakes so they can learn from those mistakes by making the appropriate corrections. Confidence is key. Positive work ethics allow me to help and give students the confidence necessary to complete anything put before them.
Graduating with a Bachelor's Degree in Journalism has given me the easygoing background to educate others in writing and reading. I am always the person asked by friends and family when they are not sure how to spell a word or if they need something to be proofread. I enjoy read ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have always wanted to teach. When I was a child I would round up the kids in my neighborhood and make them do lessons that I created. I do remember they did not like that. I went to college and earned a BS in Biology always knowing that I would eventually teach the sciences. I was an excellent student and have always found pride in myself on my ability to communicate with clearity. I have one year of tutoring experience at the k-12 level. Attaining a degree in the sciences has helped me to develop key writing as well as key listening skills. I am very capable of tutoring in most subjects.
I would say that my teaching style is very interactive. Anyone can give instructions but I love feedback from a one on one situation as well as a group environment. I base alot of my instruction on analogies; when a person can relate an experience or another word to a term being tought, t ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As an active member of Mensa International and someone who's consistently done well in number-related fields, I've come to love teaching what I can understand. I perceive the world in a very unique way and I excel at using my perspective to help my students understand what others typically have difficulty imparting to them. I aim to one day be a professor and I love to inspire learning in and out of the classroom.
As an undergraduate at UConn, I pursued a number of fields from computer science to communications and philosophy, giving me a wide range of experience in a multitude of subject areas. In my senior year, I became a substitute teacher for grades 7-12 in all subjects. I am currently a graduate student in criminal justice, writing papers and doing research almost continuously.

My educational background in the sciences [chemistry, medical biology, and medicine]. and music has enabled me to have a broad range of academic experiences. I specialize in instructional learning in the arts and sciences, specifically medicinal biology and music. Because I do scientific research and writing, I have skills related to the language arts as well as computer science. I have experience teaching and tutoring various subjects on all levels, from preschool to college.
My teaching style is based upon where the student is in terms of their educational level. I work very hard at understanding the student's academic needs. Then I assist the student in improving their educational skills in the subject being studied. I always emphasize the fact that everyone is capable of learning and that mastering the language of any academic discipline is part of becoming proficient in ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I student taught in a kindergarten classroom. I had two different classes and they were all different. They were all on different levels and I needed to figure out were they all were. In do believe that all children can learn, but in there own way. I am the kind of person who is energenic and patient. Each child can reach anything they set their minds to. My teaching style is that I want all children to learn and they will learn in different ways because not all children learn the same way. Some are visual and some need to move around.
I am a graduate of Bloomfield College. I majored in education. I worked very hard for this degree. It took me five years to complete. I tutored children from the 2nd to the 4th grade in a tutoring program on the college campus. During this I tutored them in math, reading and sometimes writing. During the education program I learned alot about differe ... read more

Working with children and seeing them succeed, is one of the few things in life that bring me great joy. I love helping children reach the full potential. Not all children learn the same way therefore it is important to know different methods of teaching and making the work appealing to the student. I believe that showing the child that you genuinely care about him is a big part of helping them reach their potential. A child should know that I am available to him at anytime and for any reason. Teaching is a full time job and plays a delegate in a child’s development. The teacher I remember from high school and elementary are the one who showed me that they truly care about me and wanted to see me succeed in life. These teachers made the difference therefore I have adopted this philosophy when I am called to help. Teach or counsel with children.

A Little Bit About Me...

As indicated above my teaching has not been in a formal setting. I practiced on the job by 1) knowing what I am talking about, 2) listening to the person desiring knowledge, 3) allowing that person to come to believe that there is no mystery or magic to it, 4) explaining not just the "how" but the "why" of it and finally, 5) practice-correct-practice.
As a manager and coach I have formally and informally trained employees within my unit and provided same to those interested outside my area. Many have said "you should have been a teacher" over the years but more lucrative pursuits were my focus. I have taken the time to volunteer for Habitat for Humanity to teach a financial literacy class to a prospective homeowner. My interest motivated me to attend the Financial Literacy Commission meeting in DC on May 27th at the US Treasury Builidng and it gave me ideas on how to merge my pet p ... read more
