Renee

Academic Coaching Tutor • +52 Subjects

I have over 30 years working with students of all ages. My primary work has been with teenagers. I have degrees in Special Education, Secondary Language Arts (High School), and School Administration. I am currently certified to teach PP-12th grade. My most recent teaching experience was 12 years in a public high school as a Resource Room teacher where I was exposed to multiple subject areas in all grades. I have taught academic and study skills, learning strategies classes and High School Literature and Composition classes. I am looking forward to helping your child improve their skills in reading comprehension and fluency as well as writing across content areas.I believe that children learn best when provided with real world, hands-on experiences that are challenging and collaborative. Students are capable of more than they know and will push their own perceived limits when given a supportive learning environment. My goal is to provide this environment to students whether I am working with them 1:1 through tutoring, or in small or large groups in the classroom. Lessons should help children not only learn facts, but help them make sense of the world and their own place in it.

Samantha

College English Tutor • +18 Subjects

I am a graduate student at SUNY Plattsburgh in the BS/MSEd Special/Early Childhood Education program with a concentration in mathematics. I have completed all of my undergraduate and graduate courses for my degree, and I am student teaching in NYC for the Spring 2014 semester. Throughout the past 4 years, I have participated in many various classroom settings including a K,1,2,4,5 and an 8-1-2 special education classroom. I have had experience teaching lessons, helping students with classwork, facilitating small group lessons, adapting common core modules, creating engaging educational activities, and helping students with homework. I tutor students in mathematics and reading at the elementary level because of my experiences and background with students at this age level as well as SSAT and ISEE test preparation. I am most passionate about working with students on reading, phonics, and writing, and I believe that these are a vital foundation for a student's success. As a special education educator, my main focus is on individualizing instruction based on the student's needs. I like to create my instructional approaches based on a student's interests and strengths in order to create a positive and engaging learning environment. In my spare time, I enjoy reading and participating in outdoor activities such as hiking, skiing and running.

Stacey

College English Tutor • +8 Subjects

I am a certified teacher with a Masters in Elementary Education for grades 1-8. I have a Bachelors degree in Classics from the University of Arizona.I realized that I loved teaching after being a substitute teacher for three years. This gave me experience in teaching all subjects for grades K-12. I made the decision to attend the NAU Elementary Education program. The education I received at NAU was so valuable since many of the instructors were teachers at other schools themselves.During my student teaching, I was fortunate to get an opportunity to work with Title 1 students in the areas of Math and Reading. This experience encouraged me to get a reading endorsement.I feel that every student has the ability to learn and grow. Each student has their own learning style. A teacher must tap into this learning style. I love working with students and helping them achieve their goals.

Elijah

AP World History Tutor • +27 Subjects

I love teaching/tutoring. I first fell in love with teaching when my niece and nephew were young. I would take them on walks and seek to explain to them everything around us. From the telephone lines to the birds in the sky. This love of teaching lead me to obtain my masters degree from Georgia State University. As a graduate student, I taught an introduction to college for college freshmen. Afterwards I did my teaching internship at a high school teaching world history. Upon completion of my program, I accepted a position as a Social Studies teacher at a middle school. All these experiences were very rewarding and now I want to use my knowledge and skills to help tutor students online, especially during these challenging academic times due to Covid-19.Tutoring is very rewarding. I love those "aha" moments when a student finally understands a concept with which they have been struggling. As a teacher, there is nothing to which I look forward to more!As someone with a Masters degree in teaching and an undergraduate degree in Business & History, I have learned what good writing entails. Good writing is both an art and a science. With so much practice, I have learned to master this wonderful gift and hope to help others do the same.As a certified history teacher in Georgia, I know history. I have spent the past 14+ years studying history. This includes in formal classes, studying for the state certification exam, reading books in my spare time, listening to lectures online, and the list goes on. In my spare time, I am usually watching or reading something of history.Please let me know how I can help!

Adult ESL/ELL Tutor • +20 Subjects

I have a Doctor of Musical Arts in Violin Performance from the University of Oklahoma, a Professional Studies Diploma and Master of Music in Violin Performance and Violin Suzuki Pedagogy from the Cleveland Institute of Music, a Bachelor of Arts Degree in International Studies, and a Bachelor of Music Degree in Violin Performance, both from Bradley University. (Yes, I was in school a long time! Haha!)My studies as a child and adult in the Suzuki Method of violin instruction have influenced my teaching by encouraging a nurturing and positive approach to education. I have had extensive teacher training in this method as well as thorough online English as a Second Language teacher training and teaching experience from the Chinese company, VIPKid.My mother is Colombian, and my father traveled extensively throughout the world, so a love of everything international was instilled in me. I enjoy learning about other cultures and languages, and I have traveled throughout most of Europe! In addition, I was fortunate to study music and travel in Japan for almost two months and study abroad in Denmark for a full semester.I love getting to know individuals and encouraging them in whatever their goals are in learning. I have been told that I have a special gift for teaching young children and making them laugh, but I enjoy teaching students of all ages.

Daria

Biology Tutor • +40 Subjects

Teaching is something that I truly enjoy, and I love finding new ways to engage and inspire my students. I have extensive volunteer experience; I taught an ESL class for adults while living in New Orleans; at the end of the term, 100% of my regularly attending students elected to sign up for more classes. I am a recently returned Peace Corps Volunteer; I spent over a year working in a small school in Namibia (Southern Africa) teaching English, Math, and Computer Skills in a resource-poor environment. I am enthusiastic and creative, and am constantly scanning the latest pedagogical literature to keep abreast of current teaching theories. My strengths lie in verbal expression, although I have a background in science (especially biology) as well. My specialty is helping to improve language/reading scores and writing/editing skills, as my perfect scores in the verbal portions of the SAT and the GRE demonstrate. I have lived/studied in France for a year, and am extremely proficient in the language.

Elementary School Tutor • +17 Subjects

I have been an educator for 12 years, with most of my experience being in Elementary Education. I grew up in New York, where I started my education and then moved to North Carolina where I finished my Bachelors Degree in Education. I currently hold a teaching license in multiple states, and I am confident tutoring any subject up through 6th grade. I absolutely love teaching students and watching that little "light bulb" moment turn on.I spend most of my free time outside exploring. I believe that nature and the great outdoors have a lot to teach us and balance perfectly the education we need from textbooks.
