ALL STUDENTS HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BE SUCCESSFUL ACADEMICALLY. SINCE THE TUTORING PROCESS IS NOT A “ONE SIZE FITS ALL” SOLUTION, WE SEEK TO DEVELOP CUSTOMIZED LEARNING PLANS BY IDENTIFYING AND ADDRESSING THE UNIQUE NEEDS OF AN INDIVIDUAL STUDENT. WE AIM TO DEMYSTIFY THE LEARNING PROCESS IN ORDER TO ENABLE A STUDENT TO GRASP DIFFICULT CONTENT OR FORMULATE SYSTEMATIC STUDYING AND TEST-TAKING STRATEGIES.

Progressing through graduate school and working as a undergraduate student demonstrator allowed me to define learning as a personal process of growth. Being able to ask questions and actually attempt to answer those questions was extremely motivating. Involving and motivating students presents its challenges, but my goal of individualizing learning creates an open and comfortable environment where students can feel free to ask questions, make mistakes, and challenge themselves. It is by breaking down the barriers to learning that students can face their own misconceptions. My teaching philosophy is to get students to think about science as a process, and to individualize their learning experiences. I prompt them to “why” and “how” questions at every stage.

Hello, all. My name is Stacie. I have over 10 years of experience in Education. I started my career at Sylvan Learning Center. I began as a Program Manager, but also have experience as the Director of Education. My job duties included giving students Diagnostic Assessments, updating each student notebook, tutoring math, reading and writing in the evenings, attending ongoing trainings, contributing to teacher trainings, and meeting with both parents and teachers at schools. From there I was employed as a tutor for University Instructors. For the past six years I worked as a second grade teacher and Resource Specialist at a Charter School. I accomplished all teaching duties, plus worked as a test proctor, computer lab monitor, curriculum developer, and office helper. It has been awhile since I have been a teacher/tutor, but I feel like I would still be a good choice to tutor

My educational background is well-rounded, which prepared me to tutor in a variety of subjects. For example, I demonstrated solid grammar and research/writing skills in order to successfully complete my B.S. in Human Resources Management and supplemented this degree with college coursework in Economics, Accounting, and Business Statistics. In addition, since 1998, my tutoring experience has included a variety of areas: Basic mathematics and reading at the elementary level, High school mathematics and English, GED test preparation classes, College-level Algebra, Resume-writing and interview skills seminars, and Continuing Legal Education classes for lawyers. I love coaching and facilitating the learning process for students of all ages. As a tutor who has worked with elementary school children, teenagers, college students, and adults, I know that each person learns in his or her own

I have a BS in business and can tutor in any business related fields. In addition, my original college major was physics. I can and have taught physics, math, (up to differential equations) and physical sciences. I have also been an ameteur astronomer for 40 years and can teach courses in this dicipline. I am currently employed as an airline pilot and have earned all teaching certificates from the FAA. My approach to teaching is more of a "why" approach. It is more important for students to know why something is or works rather than just how. This approach works well for middle and high school students. It allows students not only to understand the ideas taught but to apply them to other areas as well. I also like to use visual aids as well as conversation. I have found that many of us vary widely in learning styles. Some are visual learners, others are audio learners, and still oth

I believe that learning is best achieved in a comfortable, nothreatening enviroment. People learn best when they understand the importance of the material being taught, something I strive to convey to my students. While I can easily teach a didactic lecturing style, I feel that an interactive approach often better meets the needs of the students. Ultimately, education is a reflection of the students success and the teacher is merely a means to that end. My experience in teaching is broad and varied. I have taught medical students, other physicians, technologists, as well as teaching at military facilities. In additiom, I have two school age children myself and I believe that I am their primary teacher. This varied teaching experience allows me to tailor my teaching methods to the students and has allowed me to gain a great fund of knowledge.

When tutoring a child or young adult, my goal is to conduct the session in a manner that is student-active. This strategy includes posing leading questions so that the student has the chance to discover the answers themselves and to take credit for their own learning. For example, when presented with work for a problem, I would ask why they chose a certain answer, and follow by asking what their approach was in determining their selection. In this way, I can identify any wrong assumptions or missed steps that occurred in the process of completing an assignment. My teaching style would also include praising small breakthroughs and bolstering a students’ self esteem while continuing to demand their best effort. I have earned a bachelor degree in Chemistry and am currently in a PhD program in Pharmaceutical Science. As an undergraduate I had the opportunity to tutor my peers in both

A University of Notre Dame graduate, education has always been a top priority. I have earned two bachelor degrees, on in pre-medicine and the other in psychology. In the pursuit of these degrees, I have developed an understanding of math and science. Over the past three years, I have had the opportunity to mentor a South Bend, IN middle school student. During this time, we worked together on her reading and comprehension skills, as well as improved her math abilities. I love working with elementary and middle school aged children. I believe that each student is unique and requires their own approach to learning. I also believe that understanding how to set goals and achieve success is essential to learning. Growing up in a community of dedicated educators, I find joy in helping others learn in the same caring and understanding environment.

I am a very good teacher, or so all the teachers who bring their students to the History Center tell me. I am capable of breaking down the most complex ideas into simple pieces so the students are not overwhelmed. I can teach a variety of subjects--math, chemistry or physics. I am easy-going, and I make learning fun. But I am also effective. I can provide tutoring assistance for college and graduate level courses in law and literature. I am able to provide assistance for a variety of college level courses from Biology to Philosophy. I can edit and proof graduate and college-level works for any class. Learning to write well will impress your professors and give you an edge over your colleagues in the professional world. I have had several creative and scholarly works published. If you are able to publish a scholarly work, it will look great on a resume or a scholarship application. I

I graduated with an AB in Chemistry, from a top college in the country, which has helped me gain a better understanding of mathematics and the physical sciences. I have learned from writing countless lab reports and term papers, in many different areas of study, the importance of grammar and research before one begins a project. I have mentored children throughout community organizations, helping them with everything from homework to life’s problems. My teaching style would focus on making sure that all children understand the basics of what they are doing before they can proceed to a more difficult level of study. A strong foundation is the best way to achieve excellence whether studying basic Algebra or Advanced Inorganic Chemistry. I believe in teaching through all different means from lectures, to hands on projects, to outings that are focused on the field being studied. I fe
