I believe the learning experience should always be an enjoyable one. I use humor from time to time in my teaching. A teacher can make the learning experience more enjoyable and more memorable by injecting humor into certain lessons. This has proved to be very productive, since many of my students have shown that they benefited from my instruction style by asking follow-up questions, clarifying issues in which they have confusion. I also encourage students to think on their own, so that as long as they can reasonably justify their line of reason, then they cannot be wrong.
I have earned a bachelor's degree in French, for that is the subject for which I have the most passion. During my time at the University of Southern Maine, I also took several classes each in Political Science, History, and Criminology. I have written many papers, both for research and writings' sake. I am ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I truly and honestly enjoy working with children of all ages to help them achieve their highest potential. I am highly efficient at helping students with homework, understanding lessons, and prepping for examinations. When working with young children (grades k-6), I try and make learning as fun and relaxing as possible. Young children also need a lot of attention to ensure they remain focused on the task at hand. When working with young adults (grades 7-12), I try to do my very best to explain subjects as thorough as possible. I also like to take subjects one step further by using analogies to bring concepts into a form that is easier to understand and more relevant to their lifestyle.

I feel that my style of teaching is student centered. I am a facilitator to the learning process. Any student who chooses to learn can and will, however some students need more motivation than others. Thus, I take the time to hear about and understand what my students know and more importantly do not know and want or need to know. I also want to know how my students learn best before I start teaching them. In a general classroom setting, I try to ensure I do something for all learners. However, in a one-on-one setting, I am able to tailor my explanations to that student's learning style. Therefore not only helping the learning process, but also encouraging the best that they can do.
I became interested in tutoring and teaching as an undergraduate. I began as a basic chemistry tutor, but quickly worked my way up to a lead tutor position. I then took on the responsibility of ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My forte is science and math, which are often students' least favorite subjects, due to earlier difficulty. A solid basic understanding of these subjects is critical to being an independent, engaged adult; and it's just plain cool to understand how the world works! I enjoy removing the fear and guiding the students to increase their competence and self-confidence. I am funny, enthusiastic and know how to use the student's background as a "hook" to pull them into the subject.
I have a BA in Psychology, MS in Zoology and BS in Computer Science. I have lifetime Arizona Community College certification in psychology, biology, ecology and remedial math. My experience with special populations includes: three years full-time on the Navajo Reservation; three years part-time at the SALT Center at the University of Arizona working with learning disabled students; and a hands-on nature camp ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is flexible to the student’s needs. Initially, I access at what level the student is currently performing and the best way they absorb information. My lesson plans are often individually tailored to the interests of the student. For instance, If I have a student who hates to read, I find reading material on a subject they do enjoy (such as Professional Wrestling). I enjoy introducing new subject matter, ideas and practical applications to add excitement to a lesson. For instance, in a session on factions, I may use measuring cups and baking tools so the student can have hands on comprehension. I am passionate about creating my students’ interest, confidence and success in the academic world.

I love school and I love to teach. I always find it personally fulfilling to pass on the knowledge I have learned. I like to use roleplay, verbal, and written practice to teach my students. I like to make the learning experience a pleasant one with my sense of humor as well.

More About This Tutor...

One of my many passions in life is working with kids, specifically tutoring them. I have found that it is easier to tutor a student when they know that they are surrounded by positivity. With this I am referring to the feeling of comfort and knowing that it's ok to be wrong. I notice more confidence in my students when I establish a friendship with them. In addition to this, letting my students know that even at different ages, we can still relate to one another. I love incorporating visual images, tangible objects, color, laughter, and fun in my tutoring sessions. I strongly believe that repetition is important when learning something new. I have found that every students learning style is different and I have been able to easily adjust to this.

I'm a very enthusiastic teacher. I believe that a student can only learn what they're interested in learning. For this reason, I find that getting the student to be interested in the subject at hand is crucial. Lessons should be fun and engaging. There are different approaches and applications on any given subject and finding the right one for each student allows for personal tailoring of a lesson. Engaging the student in interactive activities allows the student and the teacher to continuously assess their progress. When a student is able to practice the material immediately and is given their instructor's reassurance it allows the student to walk away with confidence and the desire to build on what they've learned.

My approach to teaching is that all children can learn given opportunities in a "safe" environment. I taught many students with learning challenges and I had to individualize their program. I used multiple intelligences to help students learn using their strengths to help them with their weaknesses. It made learning more fun and easier for them to grasp.
I graduated with a BA in French and Elementary Education and taught for 4 years in multi-age classrooms. Then I tutored while I stayed home with my children. I resumed teaching 1995 and earned an MAT in Elementary Education in 1998. My experience continued in multi-age classrooms where I taught reading, math, English, handwriting, science, social studies, P.E., art, and music for grades 1-6. I also tutored students after school in remedial reading using Project Read.
