I get along well with all types of students and feel that building a good rapport is the key to successful tutoring. As a high school drop-out, who later achieved a college degree, I have the ability to connect with students who often struggle in a mainstream classroom setting. I have experience dealing with students of all ages. I am a firm believer of hands-on learning and feel that students need to take ownership of their own learning. I have had a variety of experiences in education from middle school through high school. I primarily have taught high school biology and aquatic science; however, through all my years as an educator, I have been heavily involved in tutoring reading and math. I spent three years as a special education teacher's aide, working directly with all levels of mainstreamed special ed students in a variety of classroom settings. Recently, I worked in a Comm

Only four years after immigrating from Belgium to the US, self motivated success and ambition allowed me to graduate Valedictorian of my high school class. I was offered a full ride scholarship to UC Berkeley, the #1 public university in the nation. I was pleased with my accomplishments and proceeded to keep following my dream of becoming a pharmacist. I was an Honors college graduate with a BA in Economics and a minor in Spanish but, because I was still interested in health care, my courses ranged from macroeconomics and Spanish American literature to biology, physics and organic chemistry. Extracurricular activities as a volunteer tutor and mentor have allowed me to develop the skills and patience to be an effective and compassionate teacher. Although each child has his or her own style of learning, I believe in bringing out their highest potential by feeding them with the kind of cons

More than anything else teaching is something that I did as a hobby and a challenge. Having been a tutor since my undergrad days, I am of the belief that teaching is as much about communication as content. Each student has a unique way of learning, and I aim to communicate at his/her wavelength, this is why I utitlize many methods to illustrate the same concepts, until the student is able to grasp them fully. I excel at teaching students of varying abilities. My feeling is that any student can be made to appreciate a subject and it is only then that learning becomes an enjoyable experience for the teacher as well as the student. I have a bachelor's degree in physics, chemistry, and mathematics, and a master's degree in physics from the topmost research institution of my country. I also have five years of research experience post-MS. This has given me a deep understanding of not onl

I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others, especially children to whom I provide exposure and enthusiasm of learning and understanding, so that they not only understand what they need to know, but can discover that they want to know more and can find the information themselves. Because I continue to read books and search the internet to satisfy my own thirst for knowledge, I know where the resources are for my students. Each child wants to learn—it is a survival instinct; but each child is different and will learn in different ways. I have the patience and the creativity to find the most effective teaching method for the child’s academic success. And most of all, I believe learning is fun. Excellence in education and curiosity in the natural world, instilled in me since elementary school, has driven me to be an “A” student through my college education. The curriculums in premedical s

Since beginning college in 1994, I have been involved with teaching and/or tutoring students, hearing and deaf. My experience teaching ranges from preschool to high school, typically developing children to those with disabilities, from impoverished and affluent areas. My tutoring has been both with a nationwide tutoring chain, as well as with a privately owned company. I have tutored in every subject area, and feel comfortable with any subject area. My teaching style is highly influenced by the type of student that I teach. As a teacher of deaf students, my teaching must be very visual and hands-on. I find this lends itself well to teaching students who might be struggling in a regular classroom environment as well. I always begin by activating any prior knowledge a student might have in a given area, then establishing the goals that need to be met, engaging the child with relevant
