Everybody learns differently at a seperate pace.

First, I examine what is needed to be helped with. Next, I sit down and ask the student what he or she seems to be struggling with and why. From there I build a lesson plan with the student and give them the tools they need to succeed. I have worked with children with ADHD and aspergers.
I am an undergrad at HACC majoring in Biology. I excel in English, math, basic human biology, environmental science, & study skills. I hope to become a high school teacher someday. I wish to become a tutor currently to build experience working one on one with student. Everybody learns differently and I hope to bridge any gaps in whatever subject.

A Little Bit About Me...

I was educated at the University of Reading, Berkshire, England. After college I took the TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) in Brighton, East Sussex, England. I was fortunate to teach English to a wide range of students from all over the world, at language schools in Great Britain.
I worked with students who wanted to learn conversational English. I used newspapers, magazines, BBC radio and books on tape to facilitate understanding of the language. I used specifically designed three dimensional objects to help the students understand language and form sentences; for example, a triangle was a verb, a square was a noun etc. this really helped the students understand sentence structure - they had to place the object on the picture they thought it would match until they had completed their sentence. This way of hands-on learning made a lot of sense to the stud ... read more

Knowledgeable and Enthusiastic Tutor in English and Algebra

Hello! My name is Christina, and my chief tutoring interest is in English and related areas such as writing, reading comprehension, grammar and literature. As an English major in college, I found myself frequently editing friends' papers at their bequests. I found the process very satisfying, and I enjoyed being able to assist them in learning new concepts and helping them develop their own writing skills. I also developed a deep interest in literacy during my collegiate studies, and I like the idea of helping students improve their skills through tutoring. In addition to my specialty area in English, I am also very competent at pre-Algebra, Algebra 1 and Algebra 2. I am experienced with test preparation, having taken numerous AP exams, IB exams, the ACT and both the regular SAT and several SAT subject tests. I have excellent study skills and time management skills, which I th ... read more

Seasoned Teacher at Your Service!

As a well-rounded educator, I have had the chance to teach a diverse group of students including those challenged by autism, learning disabilities, noncompliant behavior, and speech impairments, as well as children who functioned on and above grade level. Consequently, I have gained in-depth knowledge of accommodating different styles of learners and incorporating effective methods to meet students’ unique needs. I feel that when we learn and understand the characteristics that make us distinct, then and only then can we truly begin to develop and grow. I encourage student learning by the incorporation of creative learning activities, various forms of technology, hands-on activities, and fun manipulatives. These methods prove to stimulate students’ social, emotional, physical and academic growth. In addition, I utilize these strategies to introduce new concepts, establish a connec ... read more

Individualized learning/teaching for optimal comprehension

I started tutoring in my teens helping young children with Autism Spectrum Disorders develop English and Math skills as well as speech therapy and public speaking. I tutored my fellow students while attending Carroll Community College in English 101 and 102 as well as Creative Writing. I then moved on to being a one on one with high school students with special needs in the Baltimore area.
I take a hands on material approach to learning/teaching. I feel that young students learn best when they can physically learn, such as through blocks/puzzles/interactive learning devices and other similar approaches. I try to let the student use their hands as much as I can to aid in their learning process. For older students such as my high school students or their college counterparts I use more direct audial teaching and visual teaching styles. Every person learns differently, so I cater my t ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As far as writing, the best approach depends on the phases. I have always acted as an instructor and guide. I help a student develop and process ideas. In the brainstorming phase, I may help a student generate ideas by suggesting different areas and working on "thought clouds." We may also do a "free write" and then discuss the ideas that were generated. During the writing process I help guide students in the development of outlines and structure. Truthfully, there is no best strategy. The techniques depend on the students needs and learning styles.
I worked as a peer tutor in the Writing Center at the University of Delaware for 2 years. I worked on all phases of the writing process, from brainstorming to revisions and final drafts. I have also tutored first year college students in the social sciences, in particular in history and government.

Well-Rounded and Adaptable Tutor of Many Topics

I tutored peers in high school often as well as my younger cousins, and occasionally kids at a daycare I worked at for a few years. I was able to get into college for free, as my mother is employed by the college that I was enrolled at, and so I stuck around for several years as a full time student simply for the joy of learning. I took courses in every major area, heavily focused on theater, english and science.

I really enjoy teaching students and working with them one-on-one. I have nine years of experience teaching preschool and kindergarten, at both public and private schools. I just received my Master's degree in Reading Education from Towson University, which gave me the opportunity to develop my skills in individualized instruction. I studied guided reading, literacy in the content areas, individualized literacy instruction, and other areas during my Master’s in Reading Specialty program at Towson University. I have experience assessing students, grouping student flexibly, and planning engaging, as well as effective, instruction.
I believe in a play-based approach to teaching new concepts. My approach to teaching is to generate excitement over learning, which I believe helps cement ideas in young children’s heads. In my early literacy lessons, I play games like "The 3 Str ... read more

Learning should never be boring!

I specialize in differentiation of instruction. I like to incorporate different types of projects and assignments to help students learn. I also like to use data to drive instruction and to create a customized learning plan for each particular student.
I have experience in teaching special education at the elementary and middle school level in Baltimore city public schools for over four years. I also have experience providing tutoring services with the Bell Foundation for under privileged students. During the summer of 2010 through 2012 I have also worked as a Assistant Camp director at St. Vincent Summer camp for homeless children. These experiences have allowed me to work in the field of education on different levels.
