More About This Tutor...

I am presently teaching at the College level in the fields of Humanities and Philosophy. I am also tutoring at the tutoring center in Mathematics and the classes I am teaching. I have high expectation for my students and try to push them in order to get the best out of them. I have also being tutoring French (my native language) to a high school student for 2007- 2009. The student was a beginner with very little knowledge of the language. I was able to help the student sustain at the class level (at the Lab school of University of Chicago) a fast intense pace. I have also tutored Hebrew to children from 1st to 8th grade. I believe I am very patient and firm at the same time

A Little Bit About Me...

Generally, I'm a constructivist, and I believe the best method of tutoring is providing a completely individuated scaffold for any student. While I was raised in old-school education, I believe that some of the newer techniques of education through hands-on, the use of digital technology, and through writing across the curriculum are effective for many students.
I have two bachelor degrees, one in computer science, the other in mathematics with a type 09 cert (6-12). I belong to Mensa and the NCTM, and have excellent English and decent Spanish speaking and writing skills. I have taught and tutored in mathematics and computer science for quite awhile, and I earned a 95% on my PSAT and a 32 on my ACT.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a BS in journalism, and a specialization in advertising/integrated marketing communications. I also have minors in English and psychology. As a result of studying both journalism and English, I have an extensive background in writing. I have tutored ESL students to learn to read and write in English.
My teaching style involves demonstrating how to understand a problem or perform a task before I ask the student to do so. By facilitating students in such a way, I believe they have a more one-on-one learning experience, as opposed to a strict lecture setting. With guidance and demonstration, I believe it is easier for students to learn without pressure.

Read More About Susan H...

I enjoy teaching children and adults of all learning styles. I am patient, easy going and considerate. My goal is to ensure that my students understand the reasons they are getting the results they are reaching. I believe in keeping the mind active and engaging the self-discipline it takes to learn new approaches to solving any learning issues.
As an adult returning to college to pursue my Master's degree, I have earned 1 bachelor's degree, 27 graduate hours in English Literature, and a M.A. in Elementary Education. During my time in pursuing my degrees, I tutored several students and adults (in reading literacy). I also have shown a strong aptitude in math for adults in GED courses I've taught and for children in elementary school.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a caring, creative instructor who uses a variety of communicative teaching strategies to reach all my students. I use different activities to practice listening, speaking, writing and reading skills, and to touch upon each learner's diverse learning preferences. I am well-informed with current teaching strategies and technologies, and use them well in my teaching. I have lived in several countries where French and Spanish are spoken and incorporate cultural references in my teaching. In my past teaching experiences, I have worked with a diverse student body and feel very comfortable teaching all students.
I have teaching and tutoring experience in a variety of levels in French and Spanish, from middle school, high school to the undergraduate and graduate college levels. I have been a middle school and high school teacher and a college instructor and professor. That experie ... read more
