...to the Baltimore City Prison. Given this, I can adapt well to the needs of the tutee. I prefer teaming up with my students to arrive at solutions. I feel this allows the student to behave more comfortably, and in turn, get more out of the material that they are learning. This strategy has worked especially well in the Baltimore City Prison. I do recognize that each student is an individual and may have different...

...subjects, Math is my strongest and also my favorite subject to teach, followed by Sciences (especially Chemistry). Working with kids and teens has taught me the importance of patience and finding ways to keep the material interesting. I have found that the best way to learn is rarely by listening to someone, but instead by doing and having a conversation throughout the learning process. In my spare time, I love to play and watch rugby,...

...sharpening skills that are already there. The graduate school mentor-tutor is more of an advising type role giving students other ideas to tackle their problems OR how to deal with a "difficult" professor. In the end, it is all about the journey! You can learn all things with time and patience. Most of the time it is confidence that keeps one from learning something new. Most people that succeed have a "never give up" attitude...

...the book and from that experience I became obsessed with getting an "A" in every course I studied. Yet, learning and teaching are organic. A student must be taught logic and reasoning as well as how to apply these skills to learning and daily life. My teaching style is to first emphasis memorization of necessary definitions, formulas, and theorems then, focusing on how these concepts are applied with success. Over time, a student builds competence...

In these positions, I have taught students basic Chinese greetings and introductions, organized and lead college readiness seminars, and helped facilitate activities at an Engineering camp.

As a tutor, I don't simply answer questions; I would rather give students the guidance and support to help them find the answers themselves. I look forward to serving as a...

...their own mind, rather than just talking at them for an hour. I have developed an awareness and sensitivity to the unspoken feelings and patterns that allow me to gently guide students in the direction they want to go. I am not bringing expectations or my own desires to a session, but tuning into what the client needs in every moment. I have certain strengths in various subjects, by teaching is the same no matter...

...subjects. When I teach subjects like math, that might come difficult to some, I like to relate the problems to real life situations so that the student gains a better understanding of the subject.

...I believe I provide good instruction for how students may best prepare in their personal study time. Generally, when students have difficulty with problems I prefer to have them work them for themselves and talk them through any stumbles they may have. I find this aids retention better than simply having them observe me doing the problems for them. I work with students at all levels be it the A student upset with the A-...

...all students with mini quizzes, problem sets, and flashcards to keep their skills fresh while also keeping them actively engaged. I also encourage them to relax and reward them for good results.

The direction that my experience with each student takes is independently...

Contrary to...

I am a first grade teacher in Loudoun County, Virginia. Last year I had 25 amazing students. We worked very hard on reading, writing, and math.
