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 or she is an active and capable participant in learning the material. I also believe in leading by example and allowing the student to use me as a resource for reviewing their work. 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

My teaching style is fun: relaxed and engaging for my students and for me too. I am serious about giving my clients the best and richest learning situation as possible. I use a modality designed just for that student and perhaps not offered at school. Since I am in a one on one setting I can ideally focus on just that one student's personal needs. I communicate clearly with all stake holders to ensure I am meeting the learner's needs and expectations. I know some of our relationships will be short term to get past an academic challenge and others may be longer to meet your needs. Whatever the length or circumstances I want it to be the best, positively memorable and educationally worthwhile experience for my student. 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 worki

Learning through real-life examples is the best way to use what needs to be learned. I have experience ranging from housework to mechanical to clerical. I like to help individuals who truly want the help. I help my kids with their own homework and understand how difficult it maybe for other parents to help their children after working long hours. Adults wanting to relearn any subjects will be treated respectfully, as well as children of any age.

Professionaly, I have over 10 years of training development, design, and delivery in a variety of subject matter areas including IT, Business, Marketing, Writing, Business Process Improvement, Quality Assurance, Time Management, Coaching, Proposals, and numerous other areas.

I have a 2 year old, so I definitely understand children, I have worked with lots of different age groups through out the course of my career. My goal is to provide the best knowledge transfer possible in the most positive way while building self esteem and independence as I strive to teach children that being honest, real, and sincere about what is going on will give them the survival skills to be highly successful in our world today.

My teaching style is active and enthusiastic. I show students clues and shortcuts in all sorts of subjects so that learning can be fun and even easy. I am tolerant and patient, while at the same time I request diligence and assiduousness. I revel in the success of my students, thanks to their efforts and hard work. I love to see students finally understand something they find challenging. My love of reading and writing has led me to excel in 2 languages. An English major at Carleton College, I mastered the art of putting thoughts on paper to persuade, compare, or explicate; as well as how to read for meaning. Later at the Sorbonne in Paris, I transferred these talents to French. I have since taught and tutored reading, writing, and speaking in both languages in the U.S. and abroad.

My teaching philosophy is first to have the knowledge for the subjects. Then, I think you need to understand the youth learning styles and to find out where they are with their knowledge and then begin from there. Certainly some refreshing maybe necessary, but most of the time the youth is behind so the teaching would focus on helping them reach their potential and moving forward. During the summers of college I was trained in Project Read and organizational skills. I then tutored youth from grade school to high school in math and science from grade school math to algebra and geometry the same for science. I worked with the teachers to determine when assignments were due and worked on planning with the students to plan out how and when to work on projects to complete them on time. Also, from 2000 to 2007 I was a youth advocate which involved teaching career readiness classes, tutoring st

Each student has different ways to learn. Some students require a more visual approach while ohers prefer repetion through listening and writing. I try to find the best way to help students learn and retain information. I believe that with the right help, every student has the potential to achieve academic success. I have an extensive experience in the field of tutoring. For the past eight years, I have work with students from age kindergarten to highschool. From one-on-one tutoring, small groups, to helping a class of more than 60 students. Therefore, I can recognize each student's ability and devised a studying plan to help them improve their weaknesses. With a Bachelor degree in Biology and Chemistry, I have a strong background in science and mathematics. Furthermore, I have taken many courses in Writing, English, and grammar.

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.

I love to teach people of all ages, developing great relationships. I am an interactive teacher, in that I believe in hands-on activities directed to that person's style of learning, determined through my experience in psychology and counseling. Thinking of learning as an adventure, I utilize discussion, creativity and a holistic approach with firm parameters believing they will enable the learner to feel empowered by the knowledge they receive. There are no failures in learning, only opportunities to challenge oneself and rise to success. Teaching has been my focus for the past 25 years, resulting in a bachelors degree in Psychology and a masters degree in Classical Archaeology and Art. I was an Assistant Curator of Ancient Art, teaching the university's Honors courses in Classical Studies and giving numerous lectures. By writing various papers and a master's thesis, I am experienced in

I am a patient, creative person, with an ever-present sense of humor. I have a strong work ethic, and consider academic success as both a great necessity and a great gift in a child’s life. My goal is to make learning fun, as well as successful. Once a student feels success, the fun then comes naturally. I try to build confidence and self-esteem in children through academic success, as I believe they are irrefutably linked. My hope is to be the teacher that is remembered, the one who made a positive academic and personal impression. Ultimately, I hope to help your child achieve his or her academic goals, to meet your parental expectations, and to share a love of learning. As a tutor, I offer a variety of experience and skills, including two bachelor degrees, BA in English and BA in French. My advanced skills are in the language and language arts areas, but I am qualified to t
