A Little Bit About Me...

I have 17 years of experience in Elementary and Special Education. My area of expertise is in the area of Reading Intervention. I am experienced in assessment, diagnosing specific deficits, and developing an individualized program designed to meet the needs of your child.
As a seasoned educator, I’ve learned the importance of building healthy relationships with my students and their parents. The key to accelerated academic success is a foundation of reciprocal trust and respect. I believe strongly that it is my job to continually assess my instruction and modify my techniques if the child is not progressing. I have a great sense of humor and kids generally are at ease with me.

More About This Tutor...

I am currently in my fifth year as an adjunct college instructor. My experience includes Art History, Visual Theory and Criticism, and Art Appreciation. As with most lecture courses, my students are primarily evaluated on their ability to write, retain new information, and demonstrate critical thinking. I consider myself an avid reader, a proficient writer, and a dedicated educator. My teaching methods have been evaluated every semester for several years, and I have always received above average evaluations from students and senior faculty members.
There are many ways for children to learn, and the most effective method that I have used is to establish a basic foundation and then build upon that. My five year old son, Paul, is already reading and writing becuase I have worked patiently with him for the last few years. Simple rewards like a 'high five' may seem silly, but ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I believe in education and don't understand why people don't invest more time and resources in education. Educated human beings not only look different but they are different from within. They are more sensitive, spiritual, mature and stable. It is wonderful to teach young people and see their metamorphosis before our eyes. There's nothing more exciting then to unveil a world of knowledge to young people.
After graduation I decided never to stop studying Law, the Brazilian legal system, different legal systems around the world and international law, both public and private. I became a specialist in tax law, a master in jurisprudence and a PhD in international law. Becoming a professor was only natural and my teasing career began in 1992 or 1993. As a child I learned to speak English and French as well as Portuguese. After that I learned other foreign languages. I am now living in t ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I taught debate and public speaking at Carroll College from 2000 until 2002 and briefly assisted the University of Montana debate program during the 2003 academic year. Both positions required hands on instruction in the basics of rhetorical theory as well as extensive research and writing. A good instuctor is able to separate theory from practice (in any academic discipline) and reassemble them so the student has a broad understanding of both components. I am a firm believer in reading comprehension as a precondition for student success and endeavor to impress upon students the need to continually expand one's knowledge base through reading.
I graduated magna cum laude with a B.A. in History from Carroll College in 2001. As an undergraduate, I was on the Dean's List for two and a half years; I was a member of the national honor society for students of Catholic colleges and un ... read more

More About This Tutor...

While gaining BA in biology from a nationally ranking liberal arts college, I further expanded my knowledge by receiving a SURF/SILO Grant to conduct independent breast cancer research, working for a brain tumor research laboratory, and pursuing drug development as an independent contractor for a pharmaceutical company. As a college student, I also acted as a teaching assistant for zoology and comparative vertebrate anatomy laboratories for three years. An undeclared minor in religion, which ingrained excellent writing and critical thinking skills, enhances my extensive experience in math and science. Over the past year, I tutored a local high school student in AP calculus.
I believe that students truly understand ideas and processes when they discover them independently; rote memorization does not instill thinking skills. To be a well-rounded academic, students must learn to u ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I recently graduated college with a BA in Human Biology, and I am currently in the transition between undergraduate school and medical school. Throughout my years as an undergrad, I have been heavily involved with teaching/tutoring students - primarily through my participation in the Peer-Led Chemistry Teacher program. As a peer teacher, I developed many skills and abilities which have allowed me to become an effective teacher. I am grateful that I have been able to use my scientific knowledge to help educate others.
I have educated both college and middle school students, and through these experiences I learned that the key to effectively teaching others is patience. I guide my students but do not do the work for them. Most students have the ability to learn the material being instructed to them. By being patient, I give the students the opportunity to problem solve on their ... read more
