I am currently enrolled in highschool but I tutored many of my cousins for the past several years so I'm great with young kids! I don't have any proper work experience but I'm hoping this will be my first.I have volunteered at many elementary schools and I can speak fluent Hindi and Bengali. So I can communicate with specific kids on a more casual and easier way if necessary. I'll only be taking elementary kids as students, I can tutor/help them with studies for 1/2 hours every weekday.

I have tutored children off and on since I was in high school. More recently, my time has been spent volunteering with The Giving Tree, where I tutored inner-city children after school and helped organize activities (museums, zoo, etc.) on the weekends. I am currently in the final stages of my dissertation for a doctorate in psychology, so I am always actively learning, too. My aspirations are to become a professor in higher education upon acquiring my Ph.D.. I think teaching styles should differ based on the preferred learning style of the student. The teaching style should play on the strengths and preferences of that particular student. That being said, I foster a student-centered approach to learning. This approach encourages the student play an equal, active role in the learning process, rather than a passive role. A cooperative approach is important so the student can feel like he

I lead students in the direction they desire by encouraging voice within their writing. Voice gives way to ownership of each individual's writing; one feels directly connected to the writing process by engaging with their voice. I support all writing styles and offer direction in relieving writer's block. I am open to the individual's choices within the writing process and provide support and the means for the student to succeed. I can help you with grammar, spelling, fluency, thesis preparation and development. 10/11-Present Tugard-Tualatin School District, Portland,Oregon Substitute Instructional Assistant.

I really enjoy tutoring children, it is very rewarding to me. Recently began tutoring elementary level math and reading, and am loving it. I have found that I thoroughly enjoy working with the children, and find it very rewarding, and enriching. I am looking to expand my experience, develop new techniques and improve on them while helping people learn, with a genuine interest in their success. I am positive, honest and will give a lot of encouragement. I want those who I am tutoring to feel rewarded while learning, I want to help my "tutorees" to enjoy learning, and build confidence.

www.logicstudies.com We see education as a meeting of minds, where every participant is on the same level. While a tutor may well have more knowledge of a subject than the student, learning is a communicative and collaborative process; the transmission of ideas can only happen when we acknowledge we each have something to learn from one another. Part of what makes Logic Studies so successful and distinctive is that we refuse to fall into the prescribed teacher-student dynamic. Never condescending and demonstrating mutual respect, the tutors at Logic Studies treat their students as peers, or coequals .

Throughout my successful career as a teacher and school counselor, I've instructed every level from kindergarten to college level. Likewise I've had the privilege of working with various cultures, ages and achievement levels. Due to my certification and years of experience I've taught every subject area in grades K-8, worked with high school students in language arts and sciences, assisted with study skills and test preparation and taught reading to adults as well as other college level classes. I have a reading endorsement and a counseling psychology certification so I am versed in Special Education issue also. My satisfaction comes when my students understand a concept, gain confidence as a learner and a person and reaches their full potential. For the last two years I have been involved in tutoring and I find it even more exciting and satisfying. My teaching style is fun: relaxed and

I have taught for 30 years. Five years ago I began tutoring when my daughter was diagnosed with a sensory processing disorder. I feel like I can do more as a tutor than a classroom teacher. My heart lies with these kids and I want to do everything I can to help make them a success. I create an individual course of study for each child based on their learning style. I help kids understand their homework and teach them how to study so they get more out of the time they are spending in their school work. I teach reading comprehension and fluency. My students typically see a two to three year jump in grade level after just a few hours of tutoring. I tutor children with ADD, dyslexia, sensory disorders, dysgrahia, autism, aspergers, and other learning disabilities. If you want only the best than call Blueberry House.

I work well with elementary-grade students or younger. I believe that children learn best when the environment is encouraging, fun, and creative, while at the same time able to meet the individual needs of the student. The student is my highest concern, and that is reflected in my teaching style. I don't move on from a concept until I'm sure the student demonstrates mastery of said concept. Math builds on itself, so maintaining a strong foundation of basic concepts is the key to student confidence and success - both in math and in life. For most of my life, I've had an interest in math. Before I began my freshman year at Oregon State University, I took AP Calculus and Calculus III and aced them. I attribute my ability to perform well in these classes to my intuitive grasp of the concepts. In this way I can see clearly what the math is doing, and can easily find a solution. So far I

Each child is a unique individual who needs a stimulating, secure, and, caring atmosphere to grow and mature.The enthusiasm of a motivated teacher energize the students. I encourage independent thinking and analytical reasoning to augment their problem solving skills, thus encouraging them to not just memorize. My first academic teaching experience began in my sixth grade math classroom. Since then I have been giving tuition for needed students in math and science. My students describe me as dedicated, enthusiastic, innovative and knowledgeable with a keen attitude towards helping students. I have got my PhD degree (Chemistry) from Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, India, which is one of the best institutes across the globe. During my MS program I had extensive courses in all branches of Chemistry and had Math and Physics as subsidiaries in the BS program. Qualified many competitiv

I recently graduated with honors from PSU and have a strong desire to work with and help children. I have a passion for literacy and believe it has the power to change lives. I am a single mom of a 14-year-old son and have also volunteered with the African Women’s Coalition to tutor African Refugee children. Working with the children transformed my life and taught me the importance of knowledge. I am known for my amazing listening skills and empathy. I am a student of Non-violent communication and use it at every opportunity. I love to teach with symbolism and visual techniques. Most of all I find it is important to listen to the child and see how they need to be taught and adjust to their comfort levels. I feel that patience and compassion for different cultures is also key to the student’s success.

In my own experience, the key to learning has been to find a "critical link:" that is, to figure out an angle that makes sense to my brain. It is one thing to be exposed to a subject, and another to understand, remember and easily employ what is learned. Everybody thinks differently, so the key is to discuss and explore the topic with a student until you see that they've experienced that "aha" moment. This is why tutoring is so important, in my opinion. This is the core of the approach I take to tutoring my peers, presenting ideas to professors, and to teaching younger students. I received my Bachelors of Arts degree from Willamette University, where I majored in politics and minored in economics. I chose to work for a Bachelor's of Arts degree because it stresses a strong understanding of all subjects - this is the core of my approach to learning and education. During my senior year of
