My teaching style is compassionate, and empathatic, and very detail oriented. As I have studied in Bank Street College of Education, I believe in allowing the student's potential to dictate where the student needs the most help. I have over fifteen years of experience in the financial field and can easily tutor and provide instructions on Series 7, 63, and Life Accident and Health Tax Preparation. I am also an expert in resume writing cover letters, and have written and published a variety of different poems in Literary Magazines as well as writing a memoir style novel.

I recently graduated from Montclair State University in 2014 with a Bachelors of Science in Business Administration and a concentration in management. I have experience substitute teaching a wide variety of subjects at the elementary and high school level. I also have experience working with students with special needs such as ADD/ADHD, school phobia, and other behavioral issues. As a recent graduate still trying to plan a career path I look forward to hearing and working with you! Other than having a lot of patience, I don't have a very specific style of teaching. Everyone learns in a different manner, so I try to take this into account on a case by case basis. Some students learn through repetition, some through writing, others through listening. I always try to make things as fun as possible and enjoy feedback.

I do not have a teaching style as this implies that I or anyone can really teach another how to write. Writing is not taught in a way that science can be taught or grammar can be taught. Writing (and learning grammar and memorizing vocabulary lists are not learning how to write) is learned and my job -- as tutor or college composition instructor -- is to help students at all levels find their voice and style and indentify the challenges they face whenever they write. I have been teaching and tutoring writing in almost every genre -- from the creative prose to business correspondence and memoranda -- since 1998. I started out tutoring students in anthropology at Hunter College and then landed a teaching position at a business school where I taught business English. In 2007 I enrolled in an MFA program at The City College and a year later began teaching freshman composition courses to engi

I have volunteered as a Nresult York City Reading Partner helping to remediate a lagging student back to age approproate reading level. I have experience working in math and science as I do for work in a healthcare lab position. In all my schooling through college I tutored and studied in peer organizations, whether a French club in high school, biology society in college, or discussion of the material at hand. I have had some recent successful experiences tutoring in the community where I grew up (Hudson and Bergen County, NJ). Then my work in the spring with Reading Partners meant refocusing and awakening an eight year old student to her potential and how much she could enjoy reading. If you need a subject taught, if you know you're missing some basics along the line and need to fill in a few gaps, or you're ready to build yourself some more in chosen subjects, I make a fantastic g

I am a native speaker of the English language. I was born and raised in the U.S. I have a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature and a Cambridge Proficiency Certificate. I have over 10 years of experience. I enjoy teaching because it is rewarding to see a child or adult progress and know that I was a part of it. Through my years of experience and love of teaching, I have become a compassionate and dedicated teacher who offers positive encouragement to keep students focused and motivated. My goal is to maintain an open, honest and supportive relationship with my students in order to make them feel secure and appropriately challenged. I am very interested in taking advantage of this wonderful opportunity to teach you. I am looking forward to meeting you!

Committed, engaging, appropriately direct, friendly but professional, caring, insightful, compassionate, skilled, motivating. I use appropriate humor and candor to motivate. I do have a behavior policy of mutual respect which sets a protocol and from which all parties mutually benefit. I am a Speech and Theatre educator with a strong background in English. I have worked with young people over the past twenty years and have been privileged to see many of them benefit from the Speech, Theatre and English training they received in my programs or by tutoring. In this era of instant communication, many of my former students have reached out to me to let me know how meaningful the work was for them and how it motivated them in their lives and helped them to find their true callings. For this, I am profoundly grateful.

Throughout my years of teaching, I have witnessed and helped assist in new and exciting educational program implementation in day-cares and school systems. With my real world and in class learning I have realized the importance children’s primary academic instruction plays in their growth and development. I find it fortunate that I have had wonderful opportunities to teach diverse groups of students, including those with learning disabilities, those who performed at grade level, and those who were exceptional. These opportunities have helped build my classroom management abilities and communication skills. My philosophy of education has been centered on differentiated instruction and the importance of individual learning styles and effective evaluative measurements. From March 1st, 2010 till June 30th, 2011 I have had the opportunity to be both a full time grade one and grade four teache

When helping a child, I show interest in the child and the child's immediate situation. I express warmth, responsiveness and appreciation. I nicely encourage a child for a given activity or one that I create. I am always upbeat, positive, and enthusiastic In the educational process, I form an idea of what the student is ready to learn, and form an idea of a learning task (discussion or practice) and of how I might introduce it. I am open to suggestions from the learner for this (or at any moment). Learning should be enjoyable.If a task proves not to be intrinsically stimulating, I present accomplishing it as a challenge. I praise efforts and seek to minimize frustration--I have a technique for this, to be used when necessary. Finally, the majority of time during any session is time during which the student is learning, with a minimum of my instructing. John Andrew Sonneborn, D.Min. (21

I have been tutoring children ages 5- 10 for 4 years. I mostly tutor children that need to improve their academic performance in the areas of English and Math. With all my utmost satisfaction, I can say that all of the amazing children I have tutored greatly improved their knowledge and confidence. English and Math are my passions and I have a natural disposition when teaching them. The people who have hired me have always been content and satisfied with my amiability and patience when dealing with children. My only purpose is to help children improve their academic performance by helping them discover their true potential. I prefer to teach no more than two children at the same time. Focusing on the child's academic needs and flaws and an important keys to correcting them and creating a more successful learning environment. When I first meet a child I like to first assess their knowledg

I provide great examples of any subject for the student not only to learn but to grasp and reinforce the knowledge. Over 5 years of tutoring experience with a strong background of Math, Sciences, Language Arts, Social Studies, Spanish and more! I try to teach students to the best of my abilities for them to learn any biology/science concepts/problems in which they struggle with. I'm also accessible to teach students on any other subjects including: Math, History, English etc. I work with the student to find their learning style and present the information in a manner for them to easily understand. I do so by giving examples and simple comparisons in order for the students to grasp knowledge/concepts instantly.

Ahoy! My name is Julia, and I am a Junior at Yale. I grew up in NYC, prancing around in coffee shops, studying with my friends at 6am the day of a big test. Many students, myself included, learn best when they wade through complexity with other people. I am here to help! I (not so fondly) remember hours of SAT, SAT2, ACT, and AP practice, and am very familiar with the format of standardized tests. I specialize in test prep, as well as Literature/Language, Social Studies/History, and Math (through pre-calculus). As a Humanities major, reading and writing is my food and water! I would be happy to help proofread your papers, brainstorm ideas, or work on structuring effective college essays. I have taught in many different settings - public schools, 3rd grade LD classrooms, journalism workshops for high schoolers, after-school tutoring for middle schoolers, to name a few! I have als
