I am a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer. I served in The Gambia West Africa as a health and community development volunteer. As a volunteer I worked in a local hospital on a daily basis, performing a variety of roles. I am a graduate of Roger Williams University. I have a BS in biology. RWU's science courses are intensive in both lecture and laboratory proficiency. As a result I’m able to tutor both lecture and laboratory portions of a course.
I am a very patient teacher, and I'm willing to take the time to explain any concepts a student is having trouble with. I have tutored several courses while I was attending college including several biology courses, organic chemistry, and physics. My experience in the Peace Corps has taught me to approach subjects in an “out of the box” way, which I can translate into a unique and effective teaching styl ... read more

I am a person that loves and believes strongly in education. I have earned a BA in Political Science and followed with an MS in Criminal Science as well as an MAT in Elementary Education. I student taught in a first grade classroom at New Egypt Primary School and then stayed on to serve as a general educator in a Kindergarten Inclusion Classroom.

When I began my college career at Penn State, I did not have teaching in mind. I originally started out as an Engineering student. It was at Penn State that my love for Mathematics strengthened. I knew that the reason I started engineering in the first place was that I was good at Mathematics. I realized that I love it so much that I would like to spread my passion for Mathematics to others. After giving it much though, I decided to begin substitute teaching. I had many positive experiences with the students.
I want to show my students how wonderful Mathematics is. Many students feel that it is too difficult and confusing. I will show these students that they can do it, and they can do anything else that they set their mind to. Also, I will show them how fun it really is. It might be a challenge for some people, but when they sit down with me they can learn Math. I am always eager ... read more

I just graduated with a BA in Psychology and are two courses short of a minor in Spanish and Sociology. I've always been very strong in the English/Language Arts/Writing areas as well. I am currently a certified substitute teacher and also already do some elementary tutoring. Some of my previous tutoring experience include writing, some psychological statistics and some basic math/language skills.
I love to teach and help others in general. I always had difficulty when I was younger finding a tutor or some help in my studies that I could understand easily. I am a very patient and have a great sense of humor that come in handy during subjects of frustration. I believe if you can bring a child into their comfort zone and put the directions in the most simple fashion, a child can learn anything! I'd love to turn a subject they avoid into a subject to brag about...

I don't have any professional teaching experience but by running a business for the past two years I feel that is good experience when it comes to dealing with the unexpected and having to always think on your toes. I deal with a variety of personality types on a daily basis and I feel this would help me transition into teaching. I am also a professional musician and have tutored a number of people in the field of electronic music production
I currently hold a bachelor's degree from Rutgers University in Sociology. My major gpa was a 3.4 and I graduated from Rutgers College in New Brunwick which when I attended was the toughest school to get into within the Rutgers University system. I also have several years experience running an online sales business and plan to further my education in the near future since I value education highly for both personal and professional growth.

I enjoy tutoring students and seeing them succeed. When they do well, it makes me feel like I have succeeded too. I believe teaching is very rewarding and it is important to take time and be cooperative with students in order to help them.
I recently graduated from Rutgers University with a Bachelors in Science. My major was public health and I minored in biology and psychology. Throughout my college career, I have participated in many community service clubs and worked at a tutoring center where I helped college students with their weekly writing assignments. It was my responsibility to help them with their grammar, writing topics, and reading comprehension. I was able to help them grow into stronger and more creative writers.

I have my BS in Psychology and BA in Art. In May 2003, I received my Masters of Education (M.Ed.) from the University of Maryland in College Park. My work towards this degree provided me with an extensive understanding of scientifically based research, lesson plan development, and teacher training skills. I have worked as an educational researcher on three large-scale government grants studying students’ language and literacy development, and reading motivation, in preschool through college.
I am a determined, enthusiastic, and highly motivated teacher. I want students to grow academically, socially, and emotionally in an atmosphere that is stimulating and adaptive to their diverse needs. I have focused on instilling in my students a love of learning. I believe it takes more than a single individual to make a difference in the lives of a student. Therefore, I have learned the val ... read more

My teaching style is really quite simple . I take my cue from the student and at what pace they may be best helped. Some students need the extra "push" and some move along quite well. My goal is to make learning fun and memorable ! Anyone can learn , but patience and perserverance must be present . If I can make a difference in just one session then I know I can help that child achieve their goal. I know I do make a difference in my students lives and that is something to feel good about ...

I love to teach all different age groups, ranging from kindergarden to adults. My teaching style is relaxed and I believe in offering guidance through the learning process. I don't believe in forcing an individual. Instead, I like to guage each student's baseline, and proceed from there. I believe that each child has a right to a proper education.

My original plan was to major in Education, but decided to double major in school, then obtain my teaching certificate after graduation. Now, armed with two degrees and a desire to enter the academic world once again -this time as the teacher - I am currently in the middle of getting my certificate for subbing, as well as seeking employment/ my certificate through Teach for America.

I absolutely love what I do and I know this is what I was meant to do. I have the ability to break down abstract concepts into concrete ones that adolescents can understand. My teaching style involves a lot of questioning on my part to the student so I can get a full understanding of any misconceptions they may have and if at all possible I use this technique to help them arrive and the correct answers on their own. This ensures their full understanding and retention of the material. Along with questioning I provide scaffolding to help the students reach their goals. Enduring understanding of the material is the ultimate goal with the students as the focus.
