Our students are our future.

I have 28 years of teaching experience during which time I taught students from kindergarten to the 11th grade. I have always believed that every child can and should learn. My motto is Education is not the end but the means to an end.Furthermore, I believe in upward mobility not only for myself but for everyone.
I prefer to teach from the known to the unknown. I usually have a pretest and a post test to ensure that my students learn what I teach.

Believe in yourself, and you are half-way there!

I have a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a minor in Chemistry. I love being able to help students feel comfortable with the material they are studying. I have tutored numerous times throughout college, and would like to get back into tutoring students because I find it to be rewarding. As a student who went from living in Germany and being taught that there are many ways of getting the right answer, to moving to America where everything is taught in one way, I have learned to incorporate my tutoring skills to the need of each individual student. I try to figure out what works best for every individual and help them focus on their strength and improve their weaknesses.
My teaching style depends on the student. I am comfortable with trying different study methods in order to figure out why my student is having trouble with a particular subject.

More About This Tutor...

As a teacher I believe it is important to communicate high expectations for the success of all students, regardless of age, race or socio-economic background. I believe all students can succeed. It is often a challenge to ensure that the classroom climate and curriculum is supportive and responsive to all students. No matter what the subject, students should be provided with an academically challenging curriculum that includes attention to the development of higher level cognitive skills. I encourage students to share attitudes, concerns and aspirations. If students have their own views challenged, it encourages the critical thinking and reflective judgment that will serve them well throughout life.

More About This Tutor...

As a college graduate, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I have a bachelor degree in Management and an MBA in Finance, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers and presentations to corporate CEO's. As a member of corporate America I have seen how lack of math skills can hinder someone's career.
I enjoy teaching and working with children. I believe children learn in different ways. It is incumbent on the teacher to mold his/her skills to the child's natural way of learning. I am available to help your child find academic success. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery where the child finds the answer. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are giv ... read more

My teaching style is relaxed, non-forceful and always understanding. I am a kindhearted person in general so when I relate to anyone else I always use the utmost respectful language and tone in my voice to show that I am understanding them and wanting to help. I know that learning is a dynamic process for everyone and most people learn in unique ways. I always try to conduct my tutoring/teaching sessions in a way that takes into account my students personal needs and abilities.

Patience. I would have to say, I would have to learn the needs of the student, what they already know and don't know, and use what they know to help them understand what they don't know. I would be fairly straightforward I guess. Helping someone understand a certain math concept would make me feel like a better person too, because when I finally grasped something like that, I remember how good a feeling it was to do so. I feel like I can definitely make a difference.
Throughout college and high school, I have always had the ability and desire to succeed. My GPA in high school was above a 4.0 due to the extensive Advanced Placement courses. I consider my area of expertise to be in math, including all sequential high school math courses, through calculus. I received a 740 on the Math section of the SAT. I have since obtained an BA in Humanities, in which I learned about the ... read more

To teach is to tie refinement of respect, unity of thoughts, sentimental attachment and truth by trusting each and every approach for coaching and highlighting the innovative ideas and inventions of students by your own creative and thought-provoking guidelines. I feel that students should be involved with their positive learning environment. In the classroom itself, the teacher needs to make the best utilization of the time allowed and must transmit the lesson to the students in the most palatable way. I want to teach and train the students. I would like to built in them the character which enables them to run the country progressively.

Coming from a poor background I was very much determined to change my family economic situation. I work hard and smart to make this happen and in the process I have acquired training and learning skills that will empower students from every background. In 1998 I founded a non-profit organization GHAPE and I have been providing varied trainings to the needy to explore their potentials. In 2008 I was an adjunct professor at the University of Bridgeport. I will again be teaching one course to undergraduate in the Fall of 2010.
My teaching methods are determined by my audience, that is the student. I use lecture method, inquiry, demonstration, visualization, questions and answers, discovery and constructivism which is a student center appraoch. I hold that students can reach their potential if carefully guided. I work each day striving to pull the best out of each student.
