I have received rigorous instruction as to punctuation, grammar, syntax, and composition rules since my years of mandatory education. The knowledge and application of the same have expanded thanks to the years spent in college and at the university, where I have also had to use the notions in order to effectively communicate verbally and in writing. In the professional arena, I have been a Linguist, an Interpreter, a Translator, a Language Instructor, a Mediator, a Program Manager, and a Technical Writer. I have utilized the notions learned in school, as well as the opportunity to refine them in these professionally held roles, where clarity of text, verbal message, and direction of discourse are vital for successful outcomes. I can speak many foreign languages including Spanish, Italian, French, Portugese and Latin. My techniques will be customized to the subject and student popu

My teaching style is to do whatever works, and to get it done. I pride myself on working with my students on their level and being able to understand their personal barrier to grasping the material. I am very conscious of not imposing upon them the way it "should be done". The way it should be done is whatever way makes sense to them and as a tutor, I work hard to find this "way". I have developed the patience to work with students at their pace and to also challenge them to expand their boundaries. Ultimately, patience and persistence are what can be used to summarize my teaching style. I have been tutoring since 2006 and have covered a broad range of subjects during my time. My tutoring experience ranges from helping elementary students prepare for private school entrance exams to tutoring college students in math, english, economics, and history and everything in between. I hav

I am a born teacher, and I love the challenge of bringing students who are less than engaged in the learning process to becoming eager and confident learners. I am patient, though I also believe in setting goals and reaching benchmarks and deadlines. My basic philosophy is that all young people are not only able to learn but also capable of much more than they or their environment may believe. My goal is to increase their confidence by praising their successes, and to hone their skills by expecting rigorous application of their efforts to the learning tasks at hand. I have been teaching and tutoring students since the 1980's, both in Israel (where I completed my B.A.) and in the United States, first as a graduate student and then as an Assistant Professor of English. My background of studies includes many humanities and social sciences (English Literature, Philosophy, Psychology, Soci

I believe all students are able to utilize and discover their full potential to

Applicable to this job, I remember my high school years and the processes I had during my English and Composition assignments. I completed an English Bachelor’s degree, with three different areas of focus, Professional Writing, Creative Writing, and Composition. I am finishing a Master’s degree in Rhetoric and Composition. I am on temporary, as-needed employment at Pearson Education Services as a scorer. Finally, I tutored, assisted, and participated in the lives of my fellow students. My experience has allowed me to have an understanding of theory, practice, and rhetoric and solve any personal compositional and academic concerns that have come up, and I look forward to doing so again at this job of tutoring. My missionary experiences informed me of one idea: people are important and they have to be considered person-by-person. Those experiences have led me to take a teaching philosophy

I believe in helping the students discover their own answers. Through patient discussion and problem solving the students will better understand the subject matter. It is important to take the time and listen to their problems so as to best understand how to achieve a solution. At times learning disabilities or other problems can require creativity in reaching the student. Through my years of working with teenagers I can achieve that creativity. I am a comfortable and relaxed person. I love working with students and helping them achieve academic success. Nothing is better for me than seeing a struggling student find new and exciting success. I graduated in 2004 from the University of Oklahoma with my Bachelors in Business Administration. I regularly helped my fellow students survive the academic rigors of Business School. In 2009 I graduated from Texas Christian University with
