Highly motivated, intuitive, and results-focused tutor

If you were to ask my students and co-workers to describe me and my work, you would hear things like: “extremely fast worker, high standards for quality, dependable and always meets deadlines, very easy to work with, eager to help you succeed, a positive, entertaining and enjoyable person to be around.” I am consistently inspired to learn new skills related to creativity.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have taught and served as a principal at parochial schools for 15 years, teaching every subject in every level in grades 4-8, and English in grades 9-12. In addition, I have served as an adult educator for 6 years. My particular areas of interest are in technology, language and reading, history, and logical thinking/essential skills. Much of my life I have provided tutoring services to students in my schools, helping them to achieve their highest potential. I have had documented success in helping students to improve their levels of academic success and self-image as active and independent learners.
My teaching style spans two decades, and many hundreds of students. In that time, I have learned that individual students have individual learning styles. Therefore, my teaching style would be dependent upon the student and his or her needs and current state of mind. When possible, I ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Each student is unique. Therefore, I use a variety of teaching styles, strategies, methods and techniques depending on the individual's needs and abilities. A special needs student may need hands on lessons or visual learning activities. Someone else may be an audio learner. I analyze the situation, differentiate between teaching strategies and implement the most effective one. My success goes beyond the actual lessons or my experience. It's is due to the fact that I truly love teaching, thrive on the positive interactions and maintain high expectations for myself and the student. I am very flexible, patient and knowledgeable. I strive to meet the needs of the students in order for them to be successful and confident.
I began teaching 22 years ago at a middle school and later taught high school when I relocated to the beach. I also tutored at a local community college. The ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that the most effective teacher is one who guides the students to finding the correct answers. Instead of simply giving out answers, a teacher should encourage students and help them along the process for them to find out the solutions on their own. By overseeing this learning process and helping along the way, the teacher ensures that the student will learn that they are capable of learning the material and further increase their confidence in academics.
I obtained a strong liberal arts education where I was able to experience and learn about a wide range of academic topics. However, I have a strong focus and specialization in the sciences with a BA in both Biology and Chemistry with a Mathematics minor. Math and science has been a strong area of mine, as I was a Supplemental Instructor for a genetics course for two semesters, as well as being a Laboratory Assistant that ... read more

Students must be challenged, not coddled. Students at all levels need to be pushed to find their limits and then move beyond them. Only then can they achieve real growth. We must use education as a tool to educate the next generation not only for employment but also for citizenship. In so doing, we need to take into account historical precedents and objective reality. Our students need more than simply reading comprehension and basic math skills. One of the chief contributions we can make to our students is teaching critical thinking. Students must be encouraged to think for themselves and not mindlessly parrot stock answers. After reasoned analysis, they must find their own truth.
I have a number of useful skills and abilities that I bring to a classroom. I have a very broad set of educational areas in which I am comfortable. I have a B.S. in Biology, a B.A. in History, a ... read more

My journey to becoming a medical student at the Chicago Medical School was driven by both a quest for excellence and a life-long love of science and learning. My educational background, encompassing both a B.S. in Biology and a M.S. in Medical Biotechnology, coupled with real life research experience has provided insights into how chemistry, biology, math, and physics all apply to everyday problems. During my studies I tutored/mentored several students in many areas such as Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, etc. Additionally, my research experience included extensive writing, providing a keen understanding of grammar, syntax, and the writing process. I have tutored students for the last 4 years in Biology and Chemistry.
Although I enjoy research and have developed a strong background in education, I find the most joy when presenting new information to my peers or ... read more

I have multiple degrees in computer and electrical engineering from Purdue University. I also have a partial degree in Accelerated Associates in Culinary Arts from Kendall College and a few classes in Computer Science in the Masters program in Computer Science and the University of Illinois Chicago. I have experience in manufacturing engineering, Research and Development, Sales, Management in Computers and several years as a Chef.
My early teaching and learning style was to do as many problems that were thrown at me in class or the text. I learned quickly that you need to understand the problem in order to solve problems that aren't set up for you. I enjoy teaching and have a lot of patience with my students becuase I believe they all have the potential to meet and exceed their expectations with the proper tutuledge.

I enjoy working with students of all ages and needs. I have worked with children in our public schools, as well as with autistic children in their homes. I have learned that patience and praise are major tools in teaching, enabling students to experience success and confidence in their education.
I tutored online for AOL for ten years. This included all grades, with emphasis in the science and music fields. I also edited articles for their knowledge database. Editing involved examining articles, making sure that each one was clear, concise, and free of mistakes. I wrote many articles for the database, as well, in several different areas of study.

Every child has a different way of learning, whether it is visual, auditory, or kinesthetic, and it is important for the teacher to be able to teach accordingly. I feel that it is important in teaching to make every child feel positive about themself and have a good attitude towards school. Every child is different in their own way, and I feel that it is crucial to have a positive learning environment so the children are accepting of each other's differences.
For as long as I can remember, I have always wanted to teach children and enrich their lives in as many ways as possible. I started helping my mom out when she taught preschool at the age of three. After school during elementary, middle, and high school, I would always go to school and help my mom in the classroom or during the day when I could. I constantly went to school functions and volunteered to help out at the fun ... read more

I went to Eastern Illinois University for a degree in elementary education with a focus on middle school math and science. Math and Science have always come easy to me and I have done some tutoring previously in these areas. I worked at a school all through college running the after school program where one of my tasks was assisting the students with their homework. Upon graduating I taught a 5th grade class for a year, that level was lower than I was searching for, so I resigned and spent the past 4 months as a long term sub in a 7th grade math class.
When teaching I try to determine the way each individual student learns best and incorporate it into my style. I utilize a lot of unique strategies such as math songs to remember mathematical principals and practices and games to engage the learner and make the learning experience memorable. When I have worked with older student ... read more

I have always been driven to attain academic excellence. I have two degrees: an AS with high honors and a BS in Biochemistry Magna Cum Laude. As such I have taken many courses in math and science, and I am also interested in foreign languages and the social sciences. During the past 5 years, I have received level 3 tutoring certification (the highest available) from a local college where I was previously employed as a tutor. My main expertise is in math and science (especially chemistry), but I have also tutored students in psychology, English, Spanish, German, and study skills.
I love teaching and getting to know my students along the way. I have worked with many people; some young, some older, and some who spoke very little English. I have learned that everyone is capable of achieving extraordinary things, sometimes they just need to have the information presented in a simp ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that my extensive experience in organic chemistry, both from the academic perspective and from the industrial side give me an advantage in helping students make a "real world" connection between what they learn in textbooks to how it can and is applied to everyday industrial science. In helping students grasp the many difficult areas of chemistry, I believe that I am making an impact on the next generation of scientists. As far as teaching style goes, chemistry is a very demanding subject, but one that is manageable given the proper focus and teaching. I believe that my job is to facilitate a framework for learning - provide constructive ideas for how to learn the material rather just recite facts and figures out of a textbook.
As an undergraduate student at Dayton and as a graduate student at Notre Dame, I was responsible for teaching undergraduate chemistry labs in gene ... read more
