I believe that a love of school and learning begins with confidence in one's own abilities. Some find it easy, and others need a certain dose of encouragement and guidance to gain that self-assurance. As a tutor, I think it’s important to provide consistent practice and celebrate small successes so that the student rediscovers how good it feels to do well. In addition to regular exercises, I take the time to explain how and why things work and what their applications are in life outside school. I believe that this helps the student understand the rationale behind their efforts and can spark more enthusiasm to learn. I also try to identify each student’s special talents and incorporate them into my curriculum. That way, they can learn to identify what they are good at and how to apply those skills to any subject. I have always loved to teach – even as a child in front of a tiny blackboar

I enjoy teaching and I love languages; language and culture are two sides of the same coin. I believe everybody can learn, but each in different ways. I'm told that I have a way of making people curious and eager to learn, not limited by the ability to transfer my own passion and fascination for languages to others. I am available to help your child find academic success. I believe in a "natural way" of acquiring ability to speak and internalize another languages. I have found that connecting and integrating the real world, actual situations and happenings in the teaching process is preferable and beneficial. I have a bachelor’s degree from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, (major subject: Social Anthropology). Other university subjects are Sociology, Media/Communication, Literature and French. I am well read and I have a wide spectrum of interests. Since the late 80’s I have

The most important characteristic in helping a child learn is to not only demonstrate a profound knowledge of material, but channel one's charisma into helping motivate the learner. Making it interesting, teaching in several different planes, and understanding how the student learns, are several core components of my teaching strategies. Also nearly unlimited patience should be stressed. I am a firm believer in Gardner's Multiple Intelligence Theory and that presentation of material suited to the strengths of the learner will succeed. As a graduate of an intense Honors Program with proficiency in multiple subjects, I have lent a helping hand towards other students as well as those who are younger than myself. From high school on, I served my community as a mentor, and tutor available during my senior year as a PAL (Peer Academic Leader). During college I accumulated many vol

I graduated Rutgers University majoring in Biology and German, and minoring in Chemistry. I have a strong science background, which I will continue to expand by completing a PhD at Yale starting in the Fall. I have experience tutoring students in math during the last 2 years of high school, and 1 year of calculus tutoring in college. In addition, I tutor my 13 year-old sister in all the subjects of her curriculum. My approach is to determine the student's weaknesses, and then formulate analogies to explain the difficult concepts. I study the student's learning style in order to infuse the new material as easily as possible. Additionally, I introduce new ways to understand the material, and then observe the student's reaction.

My teaching style is a combination of serious, in-depth theory and practical examples to demonstrate such theories, all with a hint of humor, followed by significant practice of the newly learned skills. I've been "teaching" people all of my business career. I always start with the underlying theory and immediately segue into a practical example of how the principles work. I think students want to learn, but need the information presented in a way that makes learning interesting, not boring. I have that ability. I'm able to integrate relevant practical examples because I have a very broad range of experience, having been an entrepreneur and turnaround management consultant for over 40 years. I taught a computer "cap-stone" class to graduating seniors part-time at the Katherine Gibbs school for 1 semester. There were approximately 14 Seniors in the class and we utilized all of th

I enjoy teaching and have learned that the best way to teach is to listen. I have great patience and find it a challenge to find"the" way to teach a particular student. I learned much of this from my Father who taught for 40 years at college level. In my job I have been teaching my clients for 30 years. While I hold a BA in American Labor History, I have a deep knowledge base of Central Asian, Near East and Asian history obtained from business experience. While my clients have been adults I have tutored children on an informal basis when asked.

I have two daughters, two years apart, but only one grade apart. They both do very well academically and embrace the process of learning. At home we focus more on learning and how to search for answers than on simple memorization. I have found that this has given Emma and Claudia an advantage over their peers, as neither are "hung up" on what they remember, but focus on how to use what they've learned and to apply it as a tool in learning increasingly challenging and rewarding concepts. That written, the paths they travel in the searching/learning process are very different and a reflection of each personality. I am very tolerant and have found that appealing to a child's sense of humor is a very important first step to putting them at ease. Temper this encouragement with a consistent standard for success, I have found that all individuals rise to the challenge. Lastly, I strive t

As far as possible, I adapt my teaching style to my students' needs. When I was teaching beginner-level German to an adult opera singer, I focused on helping her develop her conversational skills and pronunciation, using English to explain difficult concepts. By contrast, when teaching a beginner-level 12-year-old, I used a total German language immersion approach and built on my student's love of creative writing by asking her to write her own endings to traditional German short stories. In general, I believe in a natural language acquisition approach that gives students opportunities to practice, make mistakes, and learn from them. Students have told me that they find me to be very dedicated, patient, and encouraging. I hold a master's degree in language education and certification as a public school teacher in two states, New York and New Jersey. In the last three years I have ta

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. Education in my life has been my number one motivating factor for success. Throughout my educational career I have always been organized and a group leader when it came to helping my fellow students with projects/homework/studying, etc. For many years I tutored individuals in English, Math, Social Studies/History, German, Psychology and Arts. My experiences have all been validating. Sometimes schools are limited i

I believe that I can communicate my knowledge of French being my first language to all children. I try to work with the primary teacher's lesson plan and I believe in proactively going over the lesson, anticipating questions and reviewing the points which can be difficult to understand. I am patient, easy going and considerate because I want the children to feel comfortable to ask any question. After getting my high school diploma with honours in France, I earned a MA in Political Sciences and a BA in English literature. I Upon arrival to the USA, I tutored young children (ages 3-10) in French as part of after-school programs for a year. I would like to tutor students of all ages in French as my native tongue but I can also tutor children in reading, history, philosophy.
