My philosophy is that ALL children can learn.

I have taught elementary, middle and high school students in areas of general and special education. I have taught in alternative educational settings and in self- contained settings/ programs. I have a BS degree in Geology and a Masters degree in Special Education. I love children and I can usually establish rapport within 15-30 minutes tops.
I am a very patient hands-on teacher. I try to reach all modalities of learning.

A Little Bit About Me...

While the majority of my instruction is direct and explicit, I find that many times, my students thrive on working problems out by indirect questioning. They find themselves empowered and feel a part of their own education when they are led to the correct response.
Although I started my association with education as a teacher assistant for special education, I quickly grew to love the field and pursued my licensure in special education. I have worked as a teacher for learners with autism within the self-contained setting and I currently provide special education services for students in a resource setting.

More About This Tutor...

I am a very patient person, a trait which I believe is very beneficial for a tutor to possess. I am always patient when teaching, and in doing so have succeeded in getting my point across. I like to pass on small tricks and acronyms that I have came up with for many things, some of which I have still retained to this day for my own personal use, not just for school work.
Since I am an engineering student, I have always been interested and excelled in math and science, so I have tutored many kids in all areas of science and mathematics. I have also tutored in Spanish and French. Last year, I worked with a young man who had dyslexia. I have helped kids of all ages, whether at the elementary, high school, or collegiate level.

I enjoy being with people! I envision our discussions as part of an exciting collaboration to capitalize upon your strengths and learn in the most effective, efficient, and fun way. We will learn collaboratively to insure you understand what WE have talked about before I leave. I will break down abstract concepts into simple examples and respond to your feedback immediately in a focused yet relaxed atmosphere.
During my time at Duke I enjoyed rigorous pre-medical subjects like biology and chemistry, but my interests also include English and psychology. I graduated cum laude in May 2009 with B.A. degrees in Pre-Med and English/History/Psychology. More importantly, I have tutored biology, writing/grammatical skills, English, psychology, and chemistry to a wide range of students—from college to elementary aged. I hope to put my 4 years of tutoring experience to work for you!

A Little Bit About Me...

When I approach a student I've never worked with, my first priority is to make them feel comfortable by letting them see that I am a very nice, friendly, and compassionate person that they might like to have as a friend. Next I try to get them to tell me about themselves in some way (what they've been working on, their favorite subjects) to try to encourage them to speak freely with me about what they're thinking. Then, after personal rapport is established, I begin my academic approach to tutoring by finding out how they think based on their interests or common themes, and I try to connect the material to these things. Children have trouble learning, often because the addressed concepts don't relate to their lives. I strive to connect the material to them, demonstrate its influence on their interests, and allow them to greet the academic engagement as some sort of useful tool, not a ... read more

I believe that teaching children is a noble job. I realized that children have an instinctual readiness to learn quickly, but they need someone who knows how to approach them well and efficiently. Presenting the information in the easiest way possible and in an illustrative way was the method that made my students very satisfied with my tutoring
During my housmanship in Omdurman Hospital in Sudan I was assigned the task of tutoring medical students during their clinical clerkship period. It was a rewarding experience as it boosted my skill in teaching what I had learned. I enjoyed working with children during my pediatric rotation back in Sudan and I gained a lot of skills for how to best approach them. After I came to the USA and during my preparation to qualify as a doctor, I gained a lot of extra knowledge in biological sciences.

When I completed my degree in English, I happily took on every challenge set before me as a teacher. Therefore, I have a plethora of experience to offer any student who needs extra assistance in both English (literature and writing) as well as literacy and ESL. Due to my diverse skills, I not only teach AP English IV, but I also teach the decoding strand of SRA's corrective reading program which can provide instruction for a diverse population of students. Additionally, four years prior to becoming a teacher, I was a tutor in the English department at North Carolina Central University. I tutored in all aspects of writing and literature. In fact, I also became a literacy tutor in several communities in both Durham and Raleigh, NC.
I enjoy both teaching and tutoring. I have a passion for helping those who require multiple levels of assistance with sever facets of the English language ... read more

I believe that creating a warm learning environment and a good relationship with a student is the first step to successful learning. When a student trusts and respects their teacher, they feel safe to make mistakes, which is a wonderful way to learn. I believe that each child has his or her own learning style and way of making connections in order to create a deep understanding. I work hard to foster each of my students learning by keying into their personal way of retaining and comprehending information. I realize that learning something new can be frustrating if it isn’t coming easy. Children need to have an understanding supporter that will help them see their small achievements in order to build their confidence and achieve great heights.

I believe that all students will achieve when you have high expectations from them. All my students have the ability to succeed everyday in the classroom. I feel cooperative learning and socratic seminars is a wonderful way for the students to express themselves!

Through patience and compassion on the part of the tutor almost always results in a heightened level of confidence in the learning process as a student. Facilitating their performance in the classroom bringing about a higher self esteem and a willingness to learn.

My teaching style is adapted to meet the student’s needs. I firmly believe that each child learns differently. I think students either learn kinesthetically, visually, or auditorally, for the most part. I think it is my job as a teacher to find out which style best suits the student and adapt my style accordingly. I also think that while I am trying to help students develop skills in their weak areas, I need to be focusing on their strengths and building their self-esteem. I think tutoring gives great opportunity for me to achieve this goal.
For my first experience in teaching, I worked with both high school and elementary school students who were learning disabled and in need of help. I used the Orton-Gillingham method for dyslexia and found that it really seemed to work well to suit the student’s needs. From there I went on to work two years in resource rooms working with middle ... read more

Teaching to me is about relating the information to the students in a way they can understand. It is very important to make the material relevant to their lives somehow. Therefore it is important to get to know your students and their hobbies and interests. Another key thing needed to teach is patience. You cannot expect them to race through anything. Everyone has their own pace. It is also important to make the information interesting and entertaining to some extent, Especially for younger students. Sometimes an educational game is just as good at getting the information across but at the same time engages the students and keeps them interested.

More About This Tutor...

My experience began as a tutor in college and upon graduating I taught eighth grade science, high school sciences (biology, physical and earth), community college level biology (I and II) and biotechnology. I have a MS in Biology (research/thesis and study focus in biochemistry) and have tutored students in mathematics and English. I have experience teaching exceptional children (TBI, ADD, ADHD, BD, AG or GT) and volunteered with Head Start for years.
As a tutor my initial focus is identifying the students strengths and applying them when addressing areas where the student has a deficit. It is important to motivate the student in order to give confidence in their ability to face academic challenges. The key is to establish or enhance the foundation of student learning by developing a positive relationship with developing dependency. It is also important that the student develo ... read more
