...test-taking time management skills. I believe it is my job to find the synergy between my tutoring skills and your child's unique learning style. I often find that many students who gripe and groan about learning English ("why does this even matter, anyways?" is my favorite complaint to answer) or who are unsure test takers have excellent verbal and writing skills; they simply lack confidence in their analysis or their writing. I strive to instill...

...students to feel appreciated and loved, and I will walk with them step by step until they understand a subject completely. As someone who received an incredible education from Preschool through college, I want my students to develop a love and appreciation for learning.

...up to now, but my phone doesn't work anywhere near my house and he won't tell me why. He has told me that since he worked at Grumman he has had top secret clearance. Recently I punched in my last name, "Janusas" into Google, and up came a photo of a UFO in a newspaper from Brazil called "The Janusas Photo." You can try it yourselves, and you'll see what I saw. I actually printed...

...have a passion for math as well. I think a good way to help students learn is to get them to stay motivated by being encouraging and showing them the fun in learning.

...Finally, I was a volunteer ESL teacher for six years, teaching grammar and conversation. As a tutor, I do not feel complete until I am confident that my student fully understands the concepts at issue. I take very seriously the responsibility that it is my job to convey the material (obviously with students investing effort), and I try to break everything down as simply as possible. My job here is to help! While one session...

...is key. I have found that a certain combination of systematic organization and simplification of every detail helps to illuminate the solution. Having a structured and repeatable approach can then be engrained in the thought process through repetition, and improvement will surely follow. Furthermore, I believe positive reinforcement and encouragement are also invaluable tutoring tools. Inspiring confidence in students so that they don't become discouraged by difficulties they encounter keeps them engaged and more inclined...

...a process strictly confined to a classroom or hour long session. I approach education with an understanding that learning techniques are applicable throughout the lifetime. Therefore, my style is energetic, excited, and robust in hopes of inspiring similar reverie of learning in the students I teach.

These key factors help me adapt to the student I am...

I am currently a senior at Lehman College, pursuing a B.S in Biochemistry. I enjoy tutoring Math and Science courses and I have prior experience with it as well.

...and frustrated them for an extended period, my approach is simple. While I love those topics, they're not for everyone, and that's totally okay. My strategy involves finding connections between the weaker subject and the student's current strengths, and to use real life examples to better understand the material. For students without a naturally good test-taking ability, I believe my personal experience of originally being a poor standardized test-taker provides me a unique perspective. While...
