I served in the Straight Up AmeriCorps as a member for two years, specializing in tutoring and mentoring in a high school setting. I was responsible for teaching and leading programs for students as well as organizing events.

More About This Tutor...

My passion is making mathematics accessible. After high school I was underwhelmed by mathematics. However as I took more math in college, I realized how much I had missed in high school. As I learned more mathematics, I became determined to make it my business to find and implement better methods of educating people on mathematics in a way that does not overwhelm them, but simultaneously makes their learning experience more useful. I studied teacher education as an undergraduate, and attended graduate school at Dartmouth where the program in mathematics has a specific focus on preparing one to teach mathematics. I look forward to continuing making progress on my goal of making mathematics more useful, and more accessible to more students.
I am particularly enthusiastic about teaching mathematics to all students, and my record documents this fact. As an undergraduate I studied educ ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have a BA in English with a minor in history and have worked as a freelance copywriter and indexer. As the mother of both a teenage son and a daughter, an occasional substitute teacher, and as a long-time Girl Scout leader, I have had the pleasure of working with children of diverse ages and personalities in a variety of situations. My resulting teaching experience has varied from the purely academic to the hands-on. I have assisted younger students in reading and reading comprehension, and older students in essay writing and research techniques. I have also had extensive experience in writing and editing, and have tutored college students in English literature and essay writing.
I am very relaxed around children, and I try to create a patient and encouraging learning environment. I will often answer a question with a question in order to teach students to approach subjects ... read more

My strengths are in identifying a students weaknessess and giving them the tools needed to succeed. I provide the best that I have to give and know that the student will respond with his or her best as well. My goal is to achieve a level of motavation so that the student will be proud of his/her achievements in reading and math. I believe that each student learns at a different pace and I have the tools necessary as their tutor to help them achieve their stated goals. I feel it is a privilage to teach and to learn myself from the students!
As a graduate of The Kings College the professors taught me the value of working with children on an individual basis. They taught me that there are many different learning styles a student may have. This is what got me interested in the Title 1 Program. As a tutor in this program my focus was Reading and Math at the elementary level. My job was ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Throughout high school and college, I have tutored peers and younger students in both math and physics several times, occasionally for pay. Last year I was a course assistant for a college freshman-year math course in theoretical math at Harvard University. I am enrolling in a PhD program in pure math at the University of Texas, Austin, where I will have a 16-hour-per week teaching load including three sections of undergraduate calculus. When I was a course assistant, my section scored higher on the quizzes and exams than the other sections. I certainly put in a lot of effort and enjoyed teaching and helping students gain the deep understanding of the material to do well in a difficult college math course. My written and spoken communication skills are honed due to a liberal arts education at Harvard including humanities and science education, besides a concentration in theoretical ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

In the process of earning my BA in History (minor in Archaeology), I became familiar with a broad range of historical subjects. My certificate in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) gave me a familiarity with mathematics and statistics, as well as conventions of scientific research and reporting. My MA required a publication-ready thesis, which would not have been possible without organization and self-motivation.
It is widely acknowledged that students learn in a variety of ways. In a tutoring environment, I believe in discovering each student’s optimal learning strategy, as well as identifying techniques for making other styles of teaching accessible. I aim to enable further education, as well as transmit more urgently needed information.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have always enjoyed teaching. I try to take into consideration the individual's learning style when teaching. Many kids learn best when a "hands on" approach is incorporated into the lecture or instruction. I am laid back, patient, have a good sense of humor, and have never had difficulties connecting with youth of all ages. Sometimes, I have used creative ways to teach. I feel it is important to hold the interest of a student and ignite a childs' natural curiosity.
The majority of my experience lies within the field of Human Services/Counseling. However, I have substitute taught for about 18 months, elementary level and high school level. In addition, I have tutored foreign languages on a college level for two semesters.

My teaching style is an example of me as a person. I am a young energetic person who loves to teach content with passion and vigor. I have experience in teaching through Understanding by Design. Starting with a summative goal in mind and working towards whatever that goal maybe. UBD teaching allows an educator to keep a constant focus on the end result, while providing the best differentiated instruction possible through everyday learning. Besides UBD, I am open to other varieties of learning and teaching. I hold a special bond with students and my teaching style provides professional, yet motivating relationships. I give my best to challenge, provide for, and educate every one of my students'.
My teaching experience includes student teaching, substitute teaching, and several years of tutoring in both Vermont and Minnesota. I have just completed a student teaching experience at Win ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I prefer to have a working relationship with my students that is based on mutual respect and understanding. Beyond this I employ more than one type of teaching in order to reach a variety of student learning styles. For example, if the student requires alternate learning opportunities such reintroduction of a concept through visuals and/or manipulatives. I also prefer to be organized, on time and prepared with materials.
I began my professional career in land surveying. After the birth of my two sons I revised my goals toward an educational experience at the elementary level. I completed my practicum in Elementary Education and performed a year of substitute teaching in both the elementary and middle school levels. Since that time I went on to complete a secondary degree in mathematics with a certification in secondary level education. I have been teaching at the elementa ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am a driven life-long learner who achieves high levels of success in life. I focus on excellence in all I do. I have a well-rounded education. My experience has led me to expertise in teaching math, psychology, English and history. I have worked with students from Kindergarten to adult age.

I am a patient teacher with expectations for effort. All students can learn but may learn differently. I am able to adapt material to the student's learning style. I have seen the difference education can make and am a life-long learner, myself.

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy working with both children and adults. I would say that my teaching style involves having an inexhaustible supply of patience which allows me to identify a student's strengths and build on them. It also allows me to identify areas where assistance is required and encouraging growth in these areas. I am also very easygoing and I have a good sense of humor which helps at times to put people at ease.
My experience as a tutor is somewhat limited, but I was involved as an ESL tutor for a short time during college. I've had more experience training my coworkers or employees to better understand their jobs or to improve their job skills, but I feel that the experience would be relevant to a tutoring job. I have had years of sales and customer service experience, which has consisted of spending a vast amount of time educating people on products and services.
