After practicing environmental law for 27 years, I decided to change careers. I chose teaching because that is something that has always interested me, and chose social studies because my BA is in history and history has been a lifelong passion. I have a background in law, government and public policy as well, having been a practicing environmental lawyer and having earned a Master of Public Administration degree. As a Scout leader for 25 years, I was very much involved in teaching at all education levels, all the way up to graduate school.Raising my own four children also involved a great deal of teaching. As a lawyer, I enjoyed most working with younger lawyers and helping them become better researchers and writers, and with high school and undergraduate students considering a law-related career. The common thread in these experiences is working with young people one-on-one or in small groups. For these reasons, I believe tutoring plays to my strengths as a teacher. When I was in the classroom, my assessments always used actual AP questions. My students performed very well on their final exams, which were full-length AP tests using questions from past exams, averaging. In world history, I wrote my own test questions, since test banks accompanying the text involved little more than memorization. I try to inject more rigor into my lessons and assessments.I never go into a professional activity with a client without a great deal of preparation. In my economics and government classes, I prepared detailed study guides both to prepare myself and to assist students. I believe my students' performance in AP classes was directly related to these guides. As a tutor, in my first meeting with a student, I will assess the nature of their concerns with the subject. I will review with them the syllabus and their recent exams and assignments to identify the key problems. Problems might include study habits, difficulty with key concepts, and absorbing the sheer volume of material, among other things. Having identified the problems, I will tailor tutoring sessions to the individual student's needs. For example, lessons may concentrate on practice with difficult concepts Many students are visual or kinetic learners, so the use of graphs in economics is especially useful to get to the solution, and to build on basic concepts, even when answering multiple choice questions. In this regard, my study guides will provide appropriate material for helping students. I view these guides as living documents and constantly evaluate and revise them to meet student needs..As a tutor of college students, I will draw on my own experience working with summer interns as well as my education and professional experience. Law, public administration, government, and economics, in addition to US and world history are some of the subjects in my professional repertoire.Most important, because I have taught or practiced in a number of subjects before, I have a wealth of material and information that I can use in my tutoring sessions. For subjects I have not yet taught, I look for useful material on line. In general, I do not view tutoring as something that happens only during the hour I spend with a student. I maintain records on each student's needs and progress, and plan ahead for each meeting so as to tailor lessons to individual needs. I prepare session notes following each meeting with a student to help prepare future lessons and to assess my own performance.

Hi there! I am a audiology graduate student. I have experience as a tutor and teachers assistant for various courses. I have a bachelors degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders. Also, I am able to help assist with organizational skills and study strategies to improve assessment scores.

Science provides us with the opportunity to learn more about the world around us. In addition, we are able to use both deductive and inductive reasoning, and the scientific method to explore some of the problems that we face in our environment today. The world of science is awesome. I look forward to working with you as we learn more about scientific phenomena.

I am a college graduate with a passion for education and helping others. I believe that regardless of perceived ability or adversity, every student has potential. My goal is to work with students on how to find and best reach their full potential. I have tutored for over seven years throughout high school and college. I have experience in a number of subjects and approaching subjects in different study methods.It's been my experience that once you find what study approach works best for you, doing well in school follows suit. I come with a number of different study approaches, and I like to try them all within sessions until we identify what the student prefers. I then work with my students to create a new study schedule using the new method instead of the old one (ie., flashcards vs. rereading the chapter once or twice). I also typically like to communicate with the student's teacher once or twice early in on tutoring to gain a sense of their perception of the student, how s/he teaches class, if the student is missing any assignments, if there is anything we can do for extra credit, etc. I think this helps remind the student that we (parents, teachers, tutors) are all here to help, and that we want the student to succeed, rather than punish the student.That being said, I am a huge believer in intrinsic motivation. In my opinion, intrinsic motivation will help students in ways that no physical, tangible reward ever could. I believe in my tutoring abilities, and I want my students to succeed, therefore I do everything I can to help them succeed. If I can help my students work hard, and feel comfortable and confident in class, then they will do well. I like to work with my students in a way that demonstrates to them how personally rewarding academic success can be.

As a five year experienced elementary teacher I am excited to be tutoring students in math and reading. My specialties are in intervention and small group teaching. I love the "ah ha, I get it" lightbulb moment that students have when they have made the connection in their learning of a subject. I enjoy learning about my students as I teach since their personal experiences bring so much to our learning environment. I have high expectations and passion to bring students closer to their academic and life goals. I also believe that a positive growth mindset will carry anyone through life. Always feel free to ask questions for everyone, myself included, is always learning.

I am currently a freshman at Purdue University studying to become a Mechanical Engineer. I'm here to help on anything from math, english, history and standardized test-related because I know that school can be rough and sometimes we all need a bit of help. I worked as a math tutor back in high school and I can teach all the way up to Calculus 3. I personally love teaching math as it's my favorite subject in school. Outside of school and tutoring life, I love reading, traveling, listening to music, taking long walks in the fall and writing poems/short stories.

I am a graduate of Nevada State College, where I earned my Bachelor's of Science in Biology (Ecology and Evolution Concentration) and minored in Environmental Science.I can tutor in a variety of subjects, but my favorite subject to tutor in is biology. I am passionate about education, and I enjoy being able to help others grasp difficult concepts and perhaps inspire a love of education in them as well.

I have a huge love of Latin, grammar, and languages! I can assist with basic math up to Algebra II, English up to the college level, and Latin through the college level. I am also experienced with editing and essay composition.In my spare time, I love to play the flute and sing, hang out with friends, and take care of my two cats and dog. I love musicals and technical theatre as well! Glad to meet you!

I have been teaching for 25 years in NYC Public Schools. I have also taught Spanish as a Dual Language Teacher. I love being a teacher because I also learn from my students how to be a better teacher and engage them. I am passionate about teaching students to read, because once you can read you can learn anything. I always tell students one of my favorite quotes: "Everything is hard when you don't know how to do it and easy once you learn how."
