As a tutor my strength lies in supporting, motivating and encouraging students along with teaching them the importance of discipline and staying focused on studies. I have noticed that for some students the actual problem is not the subject/curriculum, they need help with time management and study skills. I try to teach students how to learn better and faster by managing their time efficiently and by organizing how they study. Hi! I am a certified math teacher with 20 years of experience working with students from elementary school through college. I have a Master's degree in Mathematics and a Master's degree in Education also. I am very comfortable teaching all different age groups and enjoy working with students one-on-one. One-on-one teaching helps me understand their strengths and weaknesses. I try to listen to my students' needs and evaluate that first, and then based on that I prov

My engaging style is evident at the start of each tutoring session. I show my students by personal example how to persevere and succeed in academics and in life. For the past 15 years, I have been a full-time tutor for students in grades 1-12. I am a graduate of Wesleyan University with an emphasis in physical and cultural anthropology and an ongoing fascination with the study of prehistoric human societies. Presently, I use my diverse experience as a tutor, copy editor and radio news broadcaster to make each tutoring session truly memorable for my students. My students quickly see how much I care for their progress and success. I consider tutoring to be much more than just a profession, but a way to provide others with needed assistance. It is this goal, when met, which provides me with my greatest satisfaction as an educator.

I am very patient and I make sure the student thoroughly understands a topic before moving on. I motivate the student to succeed and teach good study skills and test taking skills. Normally, I use the student's textbooks and classroom materials during our lessons. For standardized tests, I use prep books, such as Princeton Review. Students do best when they are encouraged and receive positive feedback. My students are extremely satisfied after our lessons, and I receive wonderful feedback from children and adults I tutor. For the past 10 years I have been tutoring, working with students and helping them in various subjects. I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Binghamton University, SUNY in 2005. My GPA was 3.8, and I was on Dean's list every semesterOne of the subjects I tutor is college statistics and a student of mine went from an F to a B. Also, I prepare students for SATs/ACT, and my la

One constant holds between the middle-schoolers and Ivy League engineering students that I have tutored: simplicity works. My style is to eliminate any strange concepts or terminology and instead focus in on the basic principles underlying an idea. After the student understands the basic principle, he or she begins to apply it through examples, problem sets, or writing. As students become more confident, they will begin to understand the nuances of whatever it is they seek to learn. With a basic theoretical knowledge re-enforced by practice, students will be able to apply their new skills long after their tests and quizzes are done with. As an Ivy League Physics-turned-Social Sciences major, I have mastered two distinct skill-sets: one mathematical and one analytical. My mathematical background includes single and multivariable calculus as well as differential equations. I have tutored m

While teaching, I mastered effective instructional, communication and planning and assessment and skills. I have used varied differentiated teaching techniques to meet the needs and learning styles of my students. I have tailored my teaching strategies to encourage students to interpret, analyze and predict information and to express themselves orally and in written forms. I have worked closely with parents, guidance counselors, attendance teachers and administrators to provide academic intervention to "at risk" students. I participate in and have facilitated ongoing professional development to continue my professional growth and to keep my practices current.

For the 2008-09 school year I was employed in the Connecticut school system in the special education department. There I developed experience tutoring special education students in grades K-6 and worked closely with a myriad of personalities, both adults and children. Additionally, I spent the previous year leading the art department of an influential promotional products firm. I gained experience in customer service and graphic design, and also invaluable knowledge regarding teamwork and juggling multiple tasks. These various facets of my background have enabled me to work well with both children and adults, in special education or otherwise. I love working with both children and adults and enjoy both the similarities and differences in teaching style required for each. My previous experiences, both in academic and creative fields, have afforded me a great level of patience and und

In college, I double-majored in math and economics, and my SAT scores were 700 math/ 700 verbal. My GRE verbal score was 760. I have eight years of professional experience working with regular education and special educational students from preschool through the upper elementary school level. For six of those eight years I specialized in tutoring children with autism in a 1:1 setting. In addition, because I have a high school student at home who receives special education services in mathematics, I have recently reviewed high school level algebra and geometry. My teaching style is primarily geared toward errorless teaching, and giving the student many opportunities to respond. It is very important that the student practice sufficiently without making errors, supported by prompts that are faded as material is learned. I meet the learner at his current level, and then progress in small i

I specialize in working with students who have behavioral and/or learning issues. Much of my experience has been teaching academically at-risk teens and pre-teens as well as emotionally troubled teens. I believe that part of a tutor's role is to build a student's confidence in the subject area and to make the material relevant so a student will be motivated to learn the subject. I will try to incorporate various mediums (e.g. audio and visual) to approach the subject creatively if a student is really struggling. My undergraduate major was Writing-in-Education so I began working in New York city schools during college as a playwright's assistant and while studying tracking in elementary schools. I then taught literary arts at a Montessori camp for teens and took classes toward Language Arts teaching certification at Southern Connecticut State University. I have taught high schoo
