We start by going over the basics of problem solving and work from there to foster independent thinking. I use varied approaches when the

I've always been one to reach out and help other classmates or relatives of mine. I am currently helping my cousin who is a year older than me in school with her chemistry. In high school I would be always be in the extra help room during my free periods to help out the other students struggling in whatever area, and all the students always came to me for help because they knew I would sit down and help them. Sometimes a student of any age needs help from another student or someone who is not their teacher.

Patient, friendly, encouraging I specialize in the Critical Reading and Writing sections of the SAT and have 5 years' experience. Many students get good grades in school, yet struggle with taking the SAT. That's because the SAT requires totally different approach from what students are used to. There are specific strategies and techniques I can teach to help students get to the answers quickly and with confidence.

I make sure each student receives a real music education and becomes comfortable with a music theory foundation, I expose all students to reading and encourage them to become good readers, which will set them apart from many guitar players out there. A good portion of the lessons focus on repertoire, with the student choosing the majority of the material. I have about 20 years of one-on-one teaching experience working with all types of aspiring guitarists. I have been playing for 30 years, and have performed close to one thousand times in various small jazz groups, both as a leader and a sideman. I have also sustained original rock projects and played in large ensembles. I have produced large scale concert events and handled the booking for several music venues.

I like to take students step-by-step through the process of finding answers to complicated questions. I am a strong believer in teaching the student to think for his or herself. If I'm asked a question, I prefer to help the student find the solution rather than simply give the answer. Through college, I learned that the best way to absorb information fast is to find patterns. This makes for easier recall and allows for the building of an information network on which the student can infinitely append. I have informally tutored many throughout my time at Princeton University in many different fields within Chemistry. I've found when the subject is also a passion, teaching others to see the reasons for that passion makes learning fun and easy. Chemistry can be a challenging subject - my goal is to change that. Similarly, my goal is to make the SAT math section a breeze.

I focus more on individual progress than grades. I think it's important for tutors to help students work at their own pace, develop stronger study skills, and build confidence in order to achieve academic success. Currently, I work as a Museum Assistant at the Yager Museum of Art & Culture in Oneonta, New York. As a museum assistant, I perfect my verbal communication skills, anticipate others' wants and needs, and take initiative in assisting museum visitors. I've also lent my creativity and excellent writing to The Mommy Dash and Hilltops, or Hartwick College's newspaper. From my employment history, I've built strong leadership skills and gained a strong need to work and constantly better myself. I believe these traits qualify me as a strong tutor, as I've learned to communicate effectively with children, discern their strengths and weaknesses, and encourage them to progress at their ow

I started in the 90's before the digital age boomed. I was working in a publishing company which published magazines, books and catalogs. I always had a nack for design so I attended night classes at School of Visual Art. What attracted me to the school was the people teaching where professional designers,typographers, photographers,artist, etc. during the day and they would teach evening what they were working on. I also went to Pratt. After publishing I moved into finance marketing which was far more challenging.

My teaching style depends on the student. I am comfortable with trying different study methods in order to figure out why my student is having trouble with a particular subject. I have a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a minor in Chemistry. I love being able to help students feel comfortable with the material they are studying. I have tutored numerous times throughout college, and would like to get back into tutoring students because I find it to be rewarding. As a student who went from living in Germany and being taught that there are many ways of getting the right answer, to moving to America where everything is taught in one way, I have learned to incorporate my tutoring skills to the need of each individual student. I try to figure out what works best for every individual and help them focus on their strength and improve their weaknesses.

I've been tutoring math for three years. I explain the solution slowly and clearly, also give some similar example for student to practice. The only way to improve the math is keeping doing practice. Once you are familiar with the rule of that kind question, you will not be afraid to face math any more.
