Computer Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Seattle, WA

I enjoy tutoring and working with students in the academic environment. I believe students can learn and do well as long as they are taught in the correct ways. I am a very patient, supporting and outgoing person. With my tutoring experience, I am able to explain and break down the difficult concepts to the most basic level. I understand that students have various learning styles. However, I believe to improve their learning skills, all students should frequently review the basic concepts and practice the problems that they are having difficulties with. I am available to not only help students learn but also to give them the support they need. I have recently completed a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering with an additional major in Mathematics. I have a solid understanding of different math subjects, including algebra and calculus. During the last three years, I have tutored

I have taught special needs for 25 years, and third grade for nine years. While teaching special needs I worked with many kinds of students, including those with: autism, physical disabilities, downs syndrome, fetal alcohol syndrome, ODB, and many others. I worked in segregated and inclusive settings. I believe in inclusion, if it is done by people who believe in it and know how to do it. While teaching third grade, I was the ELL designated teacher. I worked with new English speakers from: Bosnia, Mexico, and Viet Nam, all in an immersion setting. I have received several educational awards. I absolutely love teaching. I love working with all kinds of children. As a third grade teacher I loved having: inclusion students, ELL children, Tit. I kids, and ELP children, all in one room. I encouraged many different teachers to work with me in my classroom. I enjoy meeting the needs of

I have achieved multiple advanced degrees focused on English, literature, composition, and research. I have a passion for teaching and have worked as a college professor in literature, diversity, and leadership courses. While gaining my doctorate in leadership, with an emphasis on education, I tutored high school students in writing, worked as an editor for college students, and led a student resource center. I have a deep, profound understanding and competency in English, both written and oral. My research and writing ability is exemplary and varied, having published poetry, fiction, non-fiction, and research. I am currently working on a book for adult educators. I teach best in conversation and partnership with my students. I possess a broad ability to identify needs and interests, listening to both what is asked for and what is expected from students.

I am patient, considerate, and teach with a style that makes a student feel good about himself/herself. I have straight-forward expectations and work with my student to hone them to a particular subject or situation. I am funny, and I work hard to create activities that are appropriately challenging, but fun. I want my students to miss me when I am not there! I am currently a paid tutor at Montlake Elementary School, assisting with language arts and math - at all levels. I have a secondary school teaching credential, and I taught English, reading, and ESL. As a lawyer, I have excellent writing skills especially in organization and editing. I love being in the classroom and helping students learn. When I am not in the classroom, I am a volunteer tutor (New Holly) assisting in math and reading. I have taught ESL in a variety of environments and do well with cross-cultural challenge

I believe that every child is capable of learning, and once they see how a subject is relevant to their life and goals, they usually want to learn all they can about it. I try to make academic subjects relevant by introducing real-life applications. Once a student is interested in learning, we can move on to study strategies tailored to each child's individual learning style, and develop a plan whereby the student can progress on his or her own time. At that point, tutoring sessions can focus on working through difficult problems and identifying areas where I can provide extra help and expertise. As a child, I wasn't very interested in science, math, or the outdoors. It took an inspiring high school teacher who challenged me with interesting projects to show me how fascinating biology and ecology were. I strive to be that kind of teacher- not just to show my students how to get the rig

I believe that every student can learn, given the right approach. Sometimes the "right approach" requires explaining the concept in several different ways, or includes a more interactive process with experimentation or discussion. I try to work with each student to find the correct approach. In addition, I believe that one of the most important parts of tutoring is giving the student confidence in their own abilities, and I try to provide as much encouragement as possible. I graduated in May 2009 with a BS in Engineering from Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering, a prestigious technical school in Needham, Massachusetts. Aside from my engineering coursework, I completed an arts and humanities concentration and capstone in Political Science, focusing on third world development and ethno-political conflict. I served as a course assistant for math and science courses throughout much of

I love helping people achieve their goals. I know that people learn in different ways, and will try my best to adapt my teaching in a manner in which you or your children will receive the best results. I am positive and constructive in my approach to learning, because I know that everyone learns differently, but a good attitude can help produce exceptional results in anyone. I strive to make a difference in the lives of all of my students by providing them with an avenue for help in achieving academic success. Through my undergraduate work in Civil Engineering I have gained a great deal of experience in the math and science courses. I started in community college and have worked my way up through many of these courses, providing me with a great sphere of education to draw from to help aid in the success of you or your child.

In college I volunteer tutored at the Crawford Country READ center to a pupil struggling with reading comprehension, writing and mathematics. In addition to this, during my senior year at Allegheny College I was a teaching assistant for a Research Design and Statistics I and II course. Furthermore, I am currently living in Pittsburgh as a private tutor. As a recent college graduate I can understand the difficulties some students may face in grasping course material and feel capable of connecting and conveying information in an effective way. In the past I have worked with students both one and one and within a group setting, and feel comfortable adapting to any particular group or individual's needs. I believe effective teachers must compose a delicate balance of meticulous discipline and natural concern. The best teachers and professors of my academic career were not only intelligent, b

During my undergraduate years at the University of Oregon, I spent several months in Mexico teaching English to children ranging in age from 6-15. During this time I perfected my Spanish as well, and wrote many papers in both Spanish and English. While pursuing my Electrical Engineering degree at the University of Tulsa, I taught Kumon math classes to children, and fellow Engineering students in electronics. I have kept up my French reading and speaking skills. Recently I have been intensively studying dance, especially salsa, Argentine tango, and African, and have been taking some ballet classes. I find that I am very effective at helping beginning dance students to develop their talents. I am good at tuning in with each individual's basic nature, and working with the talents that they do have but may not recognize. Through patience and a playful sense of fun, I can help people

I am a strong believer that all students have the ability to learn complicated subjects. My goal is to help students gain a fundamental understanding of the material through an encouraging and positive work environment. I always like to take a step back from specific coursework and ensure that the student understands the big picture. I also like to use comprehendible analogies and examples to help teach complicated subject matter, as well as how to solve difficult problems. At the end of the day, I hope that a student has become a better problem solver, and has gained a deeper fundamental understanding of the material at hand. I am a graduate from Occidental College in Los Angeles. I majored in Biochemistry with a minor in Physics, providing me with a vast knowledge and fundamental understanding of biology, chemistry, and physics. During my junior and senior years, I was asked to s

Having the opportunity to work with and help all sorts of students has allowed me to better define and shape the methods that I use to teach and assist students. I would describe my teaching style as very dynamic. I try my best to explore what methods of thinking and presentation work best for each individual student. I typically try to present topics from multiple perspectives (eg: visually vs. abstractly). I also emphasize peeling back the layers of knowledge to a level the student finds intuitive and then rebuilding on that foundation. I am a recent graduate of the University of Washington. My studies focused on physics, pure/abstract mathematics, applied mathematics, computer science, as well as some work in statistics and engineering disciplines. I have a BS in Applied Computational Mathematical Sciences which is a hybrid degree that focuses on all of the disciplines listed above. T

I believe education should enrich and engage a students mind. I work very hard to make connections for what students are learning to what they are passionate about. Through strong encouragement and support, I make an effort to give students confidence while challenging them to move forward and deepen their understanding. I strive to give students the means they need to take pride in their work. I have seen so many students flourish after having someone re-explain a concept in a way that makes sense to them. I am willing to put the time and energy it takes to find the explanation that works best for each student. I believe all my students can succeed in their lives. As a graduate of the University of Washington's English program, I have studied a variety of concepts and theory in literature and critical analysis. I have extensive experience in writing a wide range of papers as well as edi

For thirteen years I was the Program Director of a scientifically proven, direct instruction, reading tutoring program for below grade level readers in 4 Seattle elementary schools. We tutored up to 210 students daily. My program was approved by the State of Washington as an SES program for failing schools, which I directed for one year. I also taught an after school class in reading for K-1 children. For two summers I worked with a non-profit, first as a literacy program manager and then as the reading lab director, again tutoring over 150 K-6 students daily. I love teaching and working with children. I am very passionate about every child being given the opportunity to succeed. I go out of my way to discover the learning style of each child and their personal interests and incoproate them into my teaching style so learning is interesting and fun.
