My teaching style is not typical since I am not a certified teacher. I am creative in my teaching style using a variety of techniques. I understand that each child and person learns differently (Auditory, Visual, Tactile) so I try to discover their style and incorporate as much as possible. I try to teach using real life experiences and examples. I break things down into simple parts before moving on to the next level. I believe that it is important to instill confidence in the student which raises expectations and increases motivation. I am very patient with a good sense of humor.
I obtained my BA in Social Work and have worked in that field since 1993. In 2005 I began a part time job as an Adult Education instructor for Sentinel Career Center where my primary focus was language arts/writing. I was part of the STAR reading program where I became certified to teach adults to read. ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I thoroughly love teaching as I come from a line of teachers myself. I have demonstrated that learning happens on multiple levels depending on what level one is working on. In my experience, I have learned that understanding is a process which involves listening, question and answer, humility, multiple approaches (including mixed media, visual and audio stimulus, humor, etc.), and a general openness to learn. Patience is key, and to learn is not just to memorize--it is to understand. Through the learning of the knowledge of relationships and the inter-working of things is understanding of subject material attained. We are all children, and as children we strive to break the barriers that close our minds. A good teacher knows how to ferret out these barriers that prevent our learning and open the doors to discovery and thought. It is with this knowledge that every student I have ta ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoyed teaching children and adults. It is always special to me to help another in learning and gaining the knowledge behind a subject. It goes beyond memory and I believe in practice makes perfect. I believe that a child or an adult can learn if the opportunity is there in some constructive form, considering the learning levels of the students. If I can help one student make a change in their life to continue growing in learning and prospering in that learning to become a pillar of the community, then so be it. One should never give up on the possibilities from knowledge.
I have a variety of experiences in afterschool care coordinator, student teaching in first and second grades, Licensed/certified in Occupational Therapy. Practiced with MR/MHD children and adults in fine motor skills. Taught at a community college in first/second years students in Occupational therapy th ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a teaching style that is inquisitive for the learner. The learner has to be analytical and straegic in their learning. As an instructor, I like to ask questions as well as give answers to students (when appropriate).
I have graduated with Honors from undergraduate school, from graduate school and presently holds a 3.79 GPA during the obtaining of my PhD. I have plans of having my PhD Degree conferred in the Fall of 2010. I have a passion for teaching and learning. My educational background has provided me with the opportunity to evaluate and assess learners; to understand where the application of time needs to be focused. The dissertation that I am writing on the Theory of Multiple Intelligences has given me the wisdom to understand all learners are intelligent in a specific manner. When a learner knows their greatest intelligence and best learning style, that gives them ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love working with children. I believe that every child has the potential to learn, and as a tutor I work to find which way the child learns best, whether through sports or music, or other various activities. I am extremely patitent and understanding, and I am eager to help children. I strive to help children better themselves.
As a Psychology student, I understand the importance of learning. I tutored middle and high school aged children in all subject areas, particularly in math. As I have been tutoring, I have seen that math and science are not children's strong subjects and I work to have the students understand them more.

I truly care about the success of each student’s ability to learn. My focus is on building the strengths of youth to supplement weaker areas. When tutoring, I use materials directly from their text and assignments, and help students in searching for the right answer. My goal is to teach each youth the tools of self-sufficient learning so that they can independently continue on successfully in their academic careers.
I have tutored elementary level public and private school youth in various courses for 10 years. While my education focuses on criminal justice, my employment, training & volunteerism have enabled me to work with youth in a variety of settings. I am aware that educational success is greatly affected by cognitive ability. I’ve worked with school administrators regarding I.E.P.'s, 504 Plans, the progress of learning objectives, and addressing behavioral issues pertaining ... read more
