Testing Strategies Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in State Line, PA

Through the years I have had the opportunity to teach a variety of students with special needs and different abilities. I seek to find the individual's learning style and devise a plan that will fit that student. The curriculum and teaching style should fit the student, not the other way around. I am a dedicated and experienced teacher in both ELA and Reading having taught for fifteen years in Vermont and New York State. I am looking to help students achieve their full potential in reading and writing. My family recently relocated to Waynesboro, PA for my husband's job and I miss teaching.

I left teaching to raise my son and then to raise my step children. I decided to re-enter the world of work and began to work part time in various offices (insurance, real estate, small business, clothing store and landscaping/gardening center) so that I could have the experiences outside of a classroom environment. I decided to work with children and began to pursue a position as a preschool teacher. I have experience working with adults who happen to have various special needs and I have worked with children from kindergarten through high school. My degree in special education has allowed me to be proficient with individualizing instruction and curriculum to meet the

With a Bachelor degree in Chemistry my educational background is very strong in Math and Science. I have spent the last fifteen years in the high school environment helping students in all areas of their academic day. I feel very current with all standardized testing that has been thrown my way as I have assisted with administering SATs and Pa Assessments at our local Pennsylvania high school, and helped students in their prep for these tests. In 12 years as a high school teaching assistant, I have worked primarily with individual students in a wide range of subjects ranging from art, literature and history, to science and mathematics. This has provided me with interpersonal skills and a pool of knowledge that will be invaluable in a tutoring setting. Flexibility is a necessary skill in an educational system. As a teaching assistant, I must constantly stay well organized under changing

I love teaching and working with others. I follow the motto that "practice makes perfect", and enjoy running through various exercises in order to make sure that the concept is learned. I enjoy helping others and understand that learning happens at one's own pace. As a graduate of a small, liberal arts, women's college, I have grown a strong passion for tutoring and helping others. I am currently studying to obtain a Master's in Public Health in order to ultimately educate the public about various health disparities. Throughout my undergraduate career, I have tutored in the subjects of English, Biology, Genetics, Chemistry and other various subjects. I have also helped grade and edit student papers.

I enjoy working with younger generations. I believe stimulating intelligence and creativity in younger people sometimes requires thinking outside the box. Following instructions and completing homework certainly is a priority, as that prepares for adulthood. Going beyond that creates a desire for knowledge, and instigates entrepreneurship at a younger stage by developing desire for leadership and hunger for success. I often tutor my granddaughter and together after completing her school assignment we explore ways to learn more then required. I am a 60 year old Financial Manager, Creative Writer, Sales Executive with many years of Professional experience in several careers.

I love to help people understand what they are learning. My goal is to see the "lightbulb" flash on in their mind. I am always available to help your child find academic success. I am patient, very easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best understanding and education possible for your child. I believe there are different ways in which a student will learn and I am a huge believer in the constructivist approach to learning. I strive to make a difference in all my students' lives and to create a better future and understanding for them. As an online graduate at Kaplan University, I quickly became aware of my priorities. Students seeking help often emailed other classmates for assistance. I was often told there were very few students who responded to their emails; however, I was one of them. I earned my Associate degree through Allegany College of Maryland. I enjoyed this

As a recent college graduate of Savannah College of Arts and Design, I have extensive experience with writing skills, leading and directing project based assignments and writing research papers, essays and critiques in my field. The varied classload I carried during my 4 years has more than prepared me for a tutoring position as I feel that all of my experiences with writing, psychology, various design and film communication art classes give me the skillset required to help students achieve their educational goals. I am a demonstrative teacher and leader. I believe in the theory of "model, action, and talk" style of presentation of concepts. My creative background lends itself well to keeping a student's initiative and inspiration to a high level so that they are actually motivated to perform at their best. My personality traits are that I am disciplined and a believer in seeking the t

Although some students are naturally gifted in reading and writing, I believe every student can learn strategies to strengthen their language ability. Good writing begins with good reading, and many students need training about how to focus their minds during the reading process. Effective writing is also a result of effective thinking. Students often struggle with writing because they have not spent enough time on the mental planning and pre-writing stage of the composition process. I can help students work on a specific writing project or work on their own grammar and editing skills. I can also offer general approaches for helping students read more effectively, study more efficiently, write more clearly, and think more critically. After evaluating over 7,200 college English papers, I know the language skills that students need to develop in high school. I have taught college com

Because of my experience in teaching my own children, I have discovered that no child is too young to learn. Often people will not consider an infant or toddler a "functioning human being" until the child can speak. This is so inaccurate! I taught one of my daughters to read at age four. My teaching style is to engage the student on a personal level through cheerful conversation and sharing of interests, then to assess learning styles, strengths, and challenges. Children perform well when expectations are complimentary to them, and when they are given the tools and nurture to accomplish their dreams. I graduated from high school as number eleven in rank out of 248. I often assisted other students in both high school and college. Later, as a homeschooling mother of four, I taught all of my children all subjects through the eighth grade level. I just returned from the island of Saipan, whe

Having a B.S. in Microbiology from University of Maryland and having completed 2 years of medical school gives me a strong background in the sciences. For the past 7 years I worked for Certified Learning Center and had great experiences tutoring students of different backgrounds. Although science is my specialty, I have tutored students ages 7-22 in various subjects such as math, science, English, reading, and history. Having been in school for 6 years post high school has taught me a lot about the educational system and the means to success. A proper education is very crucial in order to prevent a student from being misinformed and misguided. To prevent that, I help my students to be self-motivated and more aware of local and global events through newspapers. I believe everyone is different based on their backgrounds, therefore, they must be taught HOW to learn effectively. This i
