A Little Bit About Me...

I started my undergraduate studies in medical technology and biology and later changed my major and graduated with a BS in business management. I further my education and have completed half of the requirements toward an MBA in pharmaceutical chemical studies. During the last 17 years I have been involved in pharmaceutical sales and sales management. In these roles I have had to mentor and teach representatives daily. I have also had to teach medical professionals technical information. I understand the requirements involved in successful tutoring as I tutored during the summer while completing my undergraduate degree.
Having been in the sales field for over 17 years I understand that everyone learns differently. In order to be a successful teacher/tutor I believe you must first understand how someone processes information. After understanding that you can then move onto to ... read more

I truly enjoy watching students learn over time. I take a pragmatic approach to teaching which has worked well for me in the past. I believe that students can learn best by doing, so they must immerse themselves in what they are trying to learn. I am an advocate of critical thinking because it forces students to analyze and form conclusions based the information provided. This makes learning more fun and everlasting because they are applying it rather than memorizing facts. My goal is to have students learn and be able to apply what they now know to multiple situations and be able to adapt.
During my time as an academic graduate assistant at Salisbury University I strived to provide the highest level of education possible. My experiences have provided me with a unique opportunity to educate individuals with many different learning styles. My education and skills have allowed me edu ... read more

My teaching strategy generally involves creating a foundation of basic principles and then building until a thorough understanding of the subject has been attained. I try to tailor my approach to the needs, goals, and learning style of the student. I typically explain each concept using a combination of textbooks, lecturing, and visual aids. My goal is to work closely with the student to ensure that each aspect of the subject is understood. I try to encourage my students to have confidence in themselves and in their abilities.
I have received extensive formal training in all of the sciences, especially biology and microbiology. I also spent many years conducting research and teaching for various colleges and universities. I have taught a wide variety of students, including nursing students, science majors, and non-science majors. Having obtained my own education as a nontradi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I really enjoy working with children with various learning styles and abilities. I'm a patient, open-minded, empathic listener whose focus is the development of your child's potential. I strongly believe that building self-confidence is vital for each individual. By being self-confident, one is more sure of himself, and can gain a higher sense of self-esteem. By being taught through positive motivation, teachings, and feedback, each student will become more self-confident and have a positive attitude with any situation he or she may encounter.
I recently completed my thirteenth year of full-time teaching in the state of Michigan. I taught all subjects at the sixth grade level for eleven years for a public school. I've also taught all subjects at the fourth grade level, along with third grade social studies, for a Catholic school. Along with years of experience teaching ... read more

When teaching or tutoring a student I have found that there are several factors in how it should be approached. The most important of the factors are the subject matter and the students learning style. The learning style of the student has to be considered when teaching. Helping a student learn requires finding the most effective method. You want to make sure they understand the subject matter while exposing them to other possible ways to approach difficult problems. You can provide tools not only for the problems they are having but preparing them to handle future difficulties. Teaching can be rewarding as you help the student help themselves by discovering their own strength and weakness as well as was to improve.

I believe that children learn best through continual interaction, repetition and positive re-enforcement. I enjoy teaching across all subject matter and believe that practice and hard work produces the best results. Every child is a unique individual with a history of different influences that developed their specific learning abilities. I believe an effective teacher will strive to discover those keys to unlock each students potential to exceed. All students can excel when provided with the correct learning tools and positive interactive secessions. I strive to always project a can-do attitude in order to bring out the best qualities and knowledge in each of my students.

A Little Bit About Me...

My studies have given me practical experience working with children of different abilities and readiness. I sincerely believe it is the teacher's responsibility to adapt lessons to the student's learning style. I strive to create connections to student past lessons and keep difficult concepts in easy, relative terms that simplify information for the student to digest. I prefer teaching lessons through discovery learning and constructivist approaches, and will ask as many questions to my students as my students will to me. Personally, I am considerate, professional, and genuinely caring to each of my student's success. I have never given up on a student's abilities to learn, and I convey an attitude of perseverance to my students.

I’ve recently graduated in from Albright College with a Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Science. Despite my degree in the sciences, I attended a liberal arts college where I took a wide array of classes. Because I attended a liberal arts college I have many interests and a range of skills. Ever since I can remember I have enjoyed mathematics and problems solving. It has been my strength throughout high school and college. I have also enjoyed working with and being around children. I am personable, friendly, professional and have a great working attitude.
My goal as a tutor is not to simply give children the answers they need to finish homework assignments. I encourage them to learn independently and strive to achieve their educational goals.

Being exposed and working at different school districts and states allowed me to learn different styles, therefore, I was able to evaluate what works and adapt the techniques to my own style. Education allowed me to learn techniques and I do claim that I was successful leading a classroom and learning was achieved by my studens. I do believe that education is always open for improvement. I learned teaching and assessment techniques and I learned to modify teaching style according to students needs.

I have been a mentor and advisor for my two younger brothers for several years. My friends and collegues have benefited from both job placements and higher education advisement. I am attentive to peoples needs, very easy going, and have an abundance of patience. I do believe that key essential ingredients of a childs nuturing, from birth, are essential for the natural environment they will eventually encounter. One thing for sure is that, having had two younger brothers and having guided them in good decision making, has allowed me to understand what a student would need to achieve success in life.
