My comments on tutoring GED : I'm an expert at helping students do well on standardized tests including GED.

I am patient and supportive, but persistent. Each student's mind works differently, and I work tirelessly to find the best way to present material to every child or adult. I have a varied background, not just in the academic world, and I feel I can find the right way to relate to each individual. I try to be somewhat informal, but I recognize the times when a little extra emphasis on the need to really concentrate is necessary.
I have logged over 5,000 hours of tutoring in the last four years. I have worked for a game company, which taught me how to approach tests as a contest between student and test-maker, and my extensive background as a writer gives me practical experience when it comes to teaching English and related subjects. My competence in math has always been obvious, as my 796 score (maximum 800) on the math SAT will attest. But most important: I love to teach any child ... read more

Experienced high school and middle school math tutor

When tutoring, I try to meet the students needs by utilizing methods of teaching which take into consideration the student's learning style. I explain concepts using visual representations as well as numerical/algebraic models. I am a very patient teacher who will find various ways of explaining math concepts, until I find one that works for the student. I teach students the "why" behind the process rather than explaining the process of finding a solution by only listing a number of steps, which the students easily forget. If the student knows why a process works, they will be able to recreate it again at a future date. I also demonstrate to the student various methods that they can employ to help them answer their own questions in determining whether or not a process will work in finding solutions. I work with students in developing methods to help them better prepare for assess ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I would describe my teaching style as simple and laid back. I pride myself on my ability to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere that allows students to focus on learning. In addition, many of my high school students, as well as peer teachers who I have tutored for the PRAXIS tests, have commented on my ability to break down topics into simple, manageable parts. I believe these two attributes make me an ideal candidate for private tutoring.
My first experience as a teacher came in high school when I held a part-time job at a Kumon Math and Reading Center. As an undergraduate student at Columbia University I held several after school tutoring positions, some paid and some volunteer. Upon graduation I decided to join Teach For America. For the past year and a half I have been teaching high school mathematics in rural Hawaii while concurrently pursuing a master of education in te ... read more

I love helping students achieve educational goals. I believe that every student has the capacity to learn and the right to be a successful student. Not everyone processes things the same way, I like to use my students' individual learning styles to dictate how I teach. The goal of tutoring is to assist the individual and therefore I adapt my style to suit the specific needs of each student.
As a graduate of one of the premier Universities in the United States I have had an opportunity to learn from the very best higher education has to offer. Over the past several years, I have reinforced my editorial skills as a college and graduate school admissions coach, helping students prepare for standardized tests, write and edit essays for University applications and prepare for interviews. I have experience in teaching English and Sociology as a Teaching Apprentice at the University level ... read more

I enjoy being a part of any child's learning experience. I understand the individuality of each child and strive to respond to them as such. This means I try to grasp each student's learning style and adjust my teaching approach accordingly. I strive to create a positive learning environment, focusing on the child's strengths as well as their weaknesses. I believe all individuals learn best when the experience is enjoyable, so when possible, I like to relate the subject matter to the student's interests. I do whatever I can to set each student up for success in all areas.
Education has always been a very important part of my life. Upon graduating high school, I went directly to college at Eastern Michigan University. I earned my BS in Psychology in four years, working as an assistant preschool teacher for one and a half years during that time. After graduating, I worked as a s ... read more

More About This Tutor...

If a child, an adult or a teenager doesn't like you, it will be difficult (impossible?) to have him (her) learn from you. Unless you are very strong and I am "nice": I don't like to be rude. So I would need to be appreciated in order to teach. That is why I focus when available on student that chose literature or that want to learn, not the one the parents force to learn. Then I am trying to make what sounds reluctant easy, attractive...
I worked also with Après la classe (“after classroom”) – 16, rue Commines BP 3003 75121 Paris Cedex 3 – as a tutor from November 1999 to January 2000 and had three pupils: a little girl of 6 years old; we did a lot of reading, a teenager of 13 years old (her sister); we repeated her History and a student of 20 years old that was studying to be a midwife and had bad marks in French literature: I tried to make her love to read but I think that today, ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My education degree in journalism reflects my interest and expertise in a wide variety of subjects. Most importantly, I have the ability to communicate, written or orally, and to prioritize and organize. Also, having worked with troubled teens, I find I am at home with difficult learning situations and a wide variety of students. I am comfortable with English (reading, writing, grammar, speeches), basic math, Spanish, basic sciences, and psychology.
My passion is for empowering young adults; perhaps the mantra is "educate to elevate". I have been told I build trust quickly, especially with difficult-to-reach students. Once trust is established there is a burden to do whatever is best for that student. Deadlines go better with a patient hand; discipline goes better with a sense of humor; details are better appreciated with a larger motivational goal. Failure is an underrated ... read more

I am always open to learning new styles, and often take part in researching new practices. Most of my teaching, however, is based on the direct teaching model. I like to start each class with an anticipatory set, challenging students to use their critical thinking skills. Then the skill set or information set is modeled by me, practiced with guidance by the students, and finally, the students are given an independent practice exercise. Each lesson is built upon the successful incorporation of the prior skill set taught.
During the last ten years, I have taught students in the areas of study skills, test preparation, US history, language arts and ESL/ELL students learning English. I have written curriculum and supervised special education teachers working with dyslexic students. I earned my first master's degree in education, and am part way through my post-master's degree in sp ... read more

As an MIT graduate, I was particularly driven to excel in science and mathematics courses so as to be able to apply these to engineering and technology problems. I subsequently obtained two doctorate degrees: one in medicine and the second in law. I am currently working on the development and patenting of medical devices to improve medical care for patients. I have always loved teaching and tutoring and have done it for many years to supplement my income. My students tell me that I can explain the material in a very understandable way.
I really love teaching and finding different ways of using analogies and similarities to explain difficult concepts. I have been very successful in teaching the sciences and mathematics courses in an understandable way. I believe that everyone is capable of learning the material, it simply needs to be presented in the correct way. ... read more
