These are the overarching characteristics that allow an individual to be adaptable and flourish in a variety of academic and professional environments. In my spare time, I like to stay...

...Gaining mastery is supported by trust. Setting achievement goals is risky. Students need to trust their teacher and themselves. Building trust and relationships is another one of my chief strengths. I believe kids learn in a system of relationships and in a culture of learning. Building trust requires follow through—being present, prepared and in command, otherwise kids don’t take the risks. It also means adapting to individual learner’s needs. A great lesson or an appropriate...

...experience their hard work and dedication, outside of school, pay off in the classroom. Being a special education teacher has given me the opportunity to work with students in a small group setting, similar to tutoring.

...of the first session to define and outline which problems the students have. I follow the lessons of the teacher and add more examples that will be studied during the session.

...in nature: in forests, meadows, and underwater. My college degree is in Biology, and currently I am pursuing a Masters degree in Integrative Medicine Research.

...enhance the ability of every student that I tutor to succeed and excel in school. The most important job I have, is to patiently aid the student in developing an understanding of the content areas that I tutor, so that I can allow each student the opportunity to learn and transfer that knowledge to other areas of their scholastic life. I embrace diversity and warmly welcome all walks, faiths, personalities, abilities and cultural backgrounds.... My teaching...

...who is now a retired teacher. I have worked with all age groups in a variety of educational settings since I was a teen. I just love interacting with kids and teens and helping them learn.

...would describe my tutoring style as fun and adaptive.

While in college, I tutored for almost four years in classes ranging from high school algebra to college level calculus, and in a variety of environments, including tutoring in small groups and online.

In order to do this, I will often start with...

...the big picture and why this stuff matters by using real world examples that students can relate to. Education aside, I'm sure we have a lot in common. I'm a pretty normal guy who enjoys his down time. I like sci-fi movies and books, video games, biking, and hanging out with my friends. I think school and academics are very important; however, having fun and knowing who you are are just as crucial.
