Eireen
College English Tutor • +17 Subjects
I am a recent graduate of Grand Canyon University where I received a Bachelor of Science degree in general and special education. Throughout the course of my studies, I have worked extensively with students of varying grade and skill levels. In Seattle, I worked with gifted kindergartners and first graders, challenging and guiding them as they explored concepts well above their grade levels. While student teaching in a sixth grade classroom, and multi-grade level resource room in Michigan, I worked with students and parents to design individual goals and monitor progress to increase proficiency in language arts and math. I tutor a broad range of subjects, and specifically enjoy teaching reading, writing, history, and geography; however, I am most passionate about math, and helping students understand strategies and how they work. In my experience, it is when students recognize the underlying concepts that they enjoy math and make the greatest gains. I believe learning is an essential part of life, and all individuals can and want to learn. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling to natural, historical, and cultural cites, hiking, running, yoga, reading, and listening to music.

Biology Tutor • +22 Subjects
I am a graduate from Old Dominion University with a Bachelor of Science degree and have 10 years of teaching experience. I underwent minor concentration in Secondary Education, where I was a student of the MonarchTeach Program. This program taught me the strategies to teach elementary, middle, and high school. During this program, I did an internship as a student teacher at the Children's Museum of Virginia. This internship focused on conducting science-based experiments for summer enrichment camp. My experience teaching ages 3-12 campers a specific content relating to a theme, helped them better understand and apply to real world application. I was a tutor for ManBasch Program at James Monroe Elementary School. I taught fifth through twelfth grade by helping them with their homework, reading a book along with discussion, and doing enrichment activities. Also, I critiqued their essay papers to help win a scholarship. This experience influenced me to help individuals improve in their reading and writing skills. Although I tutor English and Science, Math is my favorite subject because I like to do step by step methods in solving a variety of problems. While working at Tidewater Tutors, I assisted fifth, eighth, and tenth graders with their math homework and prepared them for the SOL. I provided SOL practice tests from different years and assisted with explaining questions they didn't understand. Also, I provided worksheet packets that focused on overview of the content, in which it allowed them to apply the knowledge they obtained into taking the SOL practice test without my assistance. Not only did I use my skills to teach students in the Mansbach Program and Tidewater Tutors, I applied them in teaching kindergarten and third grade students working at University Instructors and tutoring students virtually while working for Varsity Tutors and Tidewater Tutors. Aside from teaching, I focused on helping special need children improve in their gross motor skills in gymnastics and worked with autistic children as a registered behavioral technician to improve their lives in reducing maladaptive behavior. I always had the passion to serve children in different areas such as volunteering, ministry, and community outreach because my motto is to treat people the way you want to be treated, and make a difference in their lives.

I am a graduate of Florida State University with a Bachelor's degree in Communications.I am a lifelong learner myself and bring that excitement and passion to the classroom. I have been tutoring Math and English online for 3 years now and I love sharing my passion for learning with my students. I have great inter-personal skills that takes into account the whole learner. I am kind, communicative and always looking to build a positive personal relationship with my students so they can be relaxed and be in the best state to learn.In January 2022 I got a Foundational Reading, Fiction and Non-fiction Reading CERTIFICATE (a 12 hour course) from the Teacher's College at Columbia University "Literacy Tutoring". This course enhanced my phonics training, comprehension teaching, and fluency assessment and English teaching skills.The experiences of working for CBS news in Tallahassee and traveling to 34 countries when working for Delta Airlines, made history alive for me, it highlighted the importance and value of language to connect people and it revealed the power of culture to inform one's identity.I believe everyone has a divine portion of talent and the ability to reach their full potential. I am an B1 speaker of Spanish and an A1 speaker of Chinese. I studied Spanish in Spain and Guatemala and have learned Chinese at home.

Elementary School English Tutor • +24 Subjects
I was born in New Jersey, and I am a native English speaker. Before beginning my carrier as an educator, I obtained an A.S. degree in Animal Science and worked as a veterinary technician for ten years. Moving to South Florida in 1997 provided me with many exciting opportunities, one of them being educating children and adults from many different countries and cultures. I began tutoring English as a Second Language ESOL in 2001 while hosting a foreign exchange student, and I have taught children, adults, business executives, homemakers, and college-bound students since that time. I have extensive experience in teaching all levels of ESOL, accent reduction, conversation classes, business English, reading, and writing as well as TOEFL test prep. Working as an editor, translator, and interpreter keeps my grammar and editing skills sharp, which comes in very handy when tutoring students in English. Although my passion is in teaching languages, I also enjoy tutoring grammar school students in whatever area of difficulty they may be struggling with at school and seeing them overcome obstacles to obtain better grades. Lessons are always tailored to the students needs and learning styles.Having raised four children, I feel quite at home working with little ones. Their boundless energy and inquisitiveness makes these classes especially fun and interesting to teach. I believe all class sessions should be interactive and engaging, regardless of the age of the student, and I always try to inject energy and enthusiasm into the equation, hoping it will be contagious. I love to see both children and adults progress in their academic skills, which gives them confidence in every area of their lives.After obtaining a Bachelor of Arts degree in Spanish in 2006 from Florida International University, with a minor in translation and certificates in interpreting and translation, I also began tutoring/teaching Spanish. I have had the privilege of teaching High School Spanish 1 to a homeschool group, and I currently tutor business executives and children in learning Spanish as a foreign language. Having learned a second language as an adult, I have a unique perspective into the needs of students who may be struggling with learning a second language or using it in their work or school environment.In my free time, I enjoy horseback riding, CrossFit, triathlon races, and spending time with family.

2nd Grade Reading Tutor • +37 Subjects
I am a Masters in Teaching student at Brandeis University with a Bachelor's degree in English Literature and Business from Brandeis University. I prioritize access to a quality education. I work to provide personalized and differentiated instruction for every student in my tutelage. I work with parents and other caregivers to create the most well-rounded, successful learning plan for students, and work as a team with students and parents to develop learning goals. I help students to develop ownership over their own learning, and to feel successful about the skills they are developing as they continue to progress. I have worked with students as an SAT preparatory tutor, as an ESL tutor, and in an elementary school classroom as a student teacher. I am passionate about every subject I tutor, but my personal strengths are in developing literacy skills (reading and writing) in students K-12. I care about my students, and work to incorporate my students' interests and strengths into each tutoring session. When I am not in the classroom, I enjoy exploring the Mass Audubon Reservations, hiking, reading, and skiing in the winter months.

Academic success can be pervasive for a good deal of students today. The causes for these difficulties vary, but I believe they mostly arise from the fact that in classrooms, teachers teach in one set way for a large number of students. This is why I believe that tutoring is essential. In smaller settings, students can have their specific needs met without the worry of rapidly trying to cover a syllabus or slowing down a class.I believe my experiences and travels make me an ideal tutor for a number of reasons. Attending school in the US and Nigeria exposed me to lots of teachers with a numerous teaching styles, I thus have a wealth of styles to refer to. While in high school abroad as part of a school organized program, I was chosen to tutor my classmates as well as students in lower grades in the sciences. These subjects included calculus, physics, chemistry, agricultural science and technical drawing to name a few. In college, I continue to tutor my peers when I can, which has helped me establish a firm and continually growing knowledge of science and mathematics courses. The subjects which I personally enjoy teaching the most are physics, mathematics (geometry, algebra, and calculus) and economics mainly because they interest me and their link to our contemporary world. My teaching style employs learning by problem solving with discussions to solidify knowledge. I attempt to incorporate real life examples and pop culture interests where applicable to make learning a bit less dull.I completed my degree in Civil Engineering. When I am not in a classroom, I enjoy historical novels. I also have a passion for 80's-90's music and films.

Karen
College English Tutor • +37 Subjects
I am a 5th grade teacher at Palm Lane Elementary. I have been working with children since I was 16 and have been teaching for 4 years. I am originally from Chicago and completed my bachelor degree at Michigan State University. I majored in Education and minored in ESL and English. I also have a specialization in urban education and have completed almost half of my masters degree through MSU. I love working with students and helping them achieve more then they thought they could. I love tutoring students in reading because I have a huge passion for it. I believe that every child can be a reader they have just not found the right book. I have traveled all around the world and love to bring those experiences in with my teaching so that the child can be shown other worlds and cultures. I can speak conversationally in Spanish to help with subject matter when needed. I push students to hit my high expectations and will make learning a fun but knowledgable experience.
