As a student in technical logical philosophy, I soon became very interested in advanced mathematics. Once I had acquired sufficient knowledge of advanced mathematics I began tutoring mathematics in 2003. I have continued to tutor math and have enjoyed thoroughly assisting students in their acquisition of mathematical knowledge. I graduated from the Catholic University of America in 2005 with a mathematics minor. I attended the Catholic University of America in the 2005-2006 year as a non-degree student taking two more advanced math courses. I have always done well in my math courses with either a B or A grade. This is because of my natural comprehension of mathematical abstract theory. I am a math tutor with a college degree in math and a sum total of twelve years experience in tutoring math exclusively to students age 13 to adult. I love to tutor math and see students gain the math know

Then, I tailor a strength-based approach to teaching my students new concepts and ideas. I usually incorporate a mixture of traditional and non-traditional teaching techniques in my lesson plans. I provide structured opportunities and supports for my students to apply what th

I spent one year as a day to day substitute teacher working all over York County in various special education classrooms. My second year was spent as a long term substitute at an alternative high school for boys where I taught all subjects. My third year I started teaching Specialized Preschool and did this for many years until I retired last year. My students had many exceptionalities. I had typical students visit my classroom every week to read to my students. I did leave Lincoln Intermediate Unit #12 one year to teach in Baltimore, Maryland. I taught kindergarten-first grade to children with Autism and speech issues. I have 3 grown children of my own who I helped in school. I have a very hands on approach because I worked with small children. I believe children learn by doing. If they are interested, you won't have behavior issues.

I love teaching and interacting with students of all ages and ability levels. I believe that each person is unique and receives information in a unique way. Tutoring should be a joint process of discovering a student's learning style and tailoring information so that the student is able to learn and thrive. In my opinion, teaching should focus on the individual strengths of the learner and not just their challenges. The student should learn to use their strengths to not only overcome their challenges, but also to fall in love with learning and gain self confidence. As a holder of a Bachelor's in Social Work, I have a great deal of experience mentoring and tutoring students of various ages and abilities. I have worked with adult learners and high school age students with disabilities. I have a strong background in English and Grammar due to an extensive amount of college level paper writi

I like to take the "mystery" out of the subject. Math can be especially scary to students who don't have a strong foundation in general mathematics and reading comprehension. I am currently volunteer tutoring an adult friend in general math and I am proud to say that her understanding of the basic principles have increased dramatically in only a couple of sessions. I like to teach students how to take each problem apart into its seperate components. Once they can understand each individual component and how it works, they are able to see the entire system much more readily. I have assisted a number of students; Grades 1-12 as well as college-aged and continuing education in various math and science courses. My previous career included 27 years in the television industry at various local production facilities in Oklahoma, Texas, Maryland as well as the Washington DC bureau of the ABC Net

I have taught K-12 ESL, Restaurant ESL, ESL for office jobs, ESL for medical jobs. I also teach Intermediate and Advanced Reading/Writing, which takes students from a basic paragraph to writing various forms of essays.

Research shows that multiple forms of input create greater pathways for learning

Aware of the variety of learning styles as well as subject contents, I attempt to work with the individual students in an appropriate learning style to which the student is attuned. As an artist, primarily a visual learner am I, I value the creative concepts that can be incorporated in the tutoring/learning experience. A favorite perspective of mine is "The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery." - -Mark van Doren The past 8 years I have worked for the Montgomery County and Frederick County school systems as a substitute teacher in middle and high schools.. An area of extensive experience was with the special needs students at both Linganore and Walkersville High schools. I taught a class in self-esteem skills for the SUCCESS program for Frederick County. I had a fair amount of experience with the ESOL program in Montgomery Cou

My basic teaching philosophy places a large emphasis on meeting each individual student’s needs through differentiated instruction. My school has invested in numerous workshops and training session to refine these skills. I have also had a great deal of experience with studying neurological brain functions and how they affect learning styles. This training along with my experience has taught me that not every student learns at the same rate nor by the same methodology and that it is important to tailor my approach to each student while also adhering to specific standards. I have spent the last four years as a Middle School Language Arts teacher in Baltimore, Maryland at Krieger Schechter Day School. I am responsible for instruction and evaluation of 6th, 7th, and 8th grade Language Arts classes. I have had the opportunity to bring innovative strategies to the classroom. My courses p

I love teaching children. I enjoy getting to know how each child thinks and works, and finding the best way to teach them in a way that is meaningful and gratifying. My approach is usually very methodical, and I believe a strong foundation allows for a deep and thorough understanding of the subject at hand. I consider my working relationship with my students to be a team effort, one that requires their input and communication as well as my own. It is very gratifying for me to help my students begin to realize their own potential, and to help them learn to cultivate that in a way that reaches far beyond any one subject. In that way, I believe I am able to make the most useful difference for all of my students. My career as a professional violinist has offered me many unique opportunities and experiences over the years. I find that teaching is one of the experiences I enjoy the most.
