My teaching philosophy is that the student usually knows what they need in order to learn. While it is very important to have control in the classroom as a teacher in order to direct learning activities efficiently, the student needs to be encouraged to interrupt the flow occasionally and ask questi...

Scarlett

AP U.S. Government & Politics Tutor • +21 Subjects

I have always been fascinated with superheroes. As a child, I would sit in awe as I turned the pages of my favorite comic books. My favorite quality in a superhero was not their strength, but their ability to expand the peripheries of knowledge. Contributing to the expansion of knowledge and education went from childhood fantasy to reality and I hope that each one of my students becomes empowered by the knowledge they accumulate while working with me.If it is not fairly obvious, I am very nerdy and it would be a lie to say that it does not influence my teaching skills. I use different pop cultural references to explain a concept more thoroughly or rally motivation when needed. Though I am a nerd, teaching and student retention is always my first priority. I have been teaching higher education public speaking courses for the past three years and have seen and practiced the various ways in which students learn and engage in the course material. In my classes, I try to engage somewhat in a Socratic method of teaching where I prompt my students, offer them a framework for their conclusion, and then have them strategize ways in which the goal can be made. I do not expect my students to have "perfect" work or a "perfect" session because I know that the term "perfect" is subjective. Rather, I expect my students to come to each meeting with a goal (learn this topic, finish and get a certain grade on a speech, etc.) and success depends on meeting said goal. I much rather have my students feel successful in obtaining their goal than self-conscious for work that others might not interpret as perfect.My research interests include the study of rhetorical messages, pop culture, gender, and social movements. My areas of expertise for teaching include public speaking, essay writing and composition, history, sociology, philosophy, English, and literature.

Rachel

Elementary School Tutor • +12 Subjects

I am a graduate of San Diego State University and hold a bachelors degree in elementary education. Previously I have been a preschool teacher, a lead "school age" teacher, and a kindergarten teacher. I have known I wanted to be a teacher since the second grade. Helping others have their light bulb moment of understanding is something that I thrive on. I am a firm believer that everyone learns differently and that is something to be celebrated. I take pride in reaching students on how they individually understand something. English and history have always been my favorite subjects, but I am here to help across the board of learning. Real world examples of learning are things that I find to be the best learning tools, and who doesn't love taking education out of the textbook?!

Sean

10th Grade Reading Tutor • +47 Subjects

I believe in empowering YOU! As a Summa Cum Laude graduate of Moravian College in 1998, and a long time entrepreneur, teacher, singer, actor and performer, I bring a strong academic background and over 14 years of teaching, business and performing arts experience. I understand what it takes to succeed in school and in life. My teaching style is grounded in a strong belief in personal development and setting high standards for ourselves. As a performer and business owner, I have learned tremendous discipline and methods to achieving success. I get so excited to pass this wisdom onto my students and clients.I tutor all forms of writing from elementary to college, and as a business owner and marketer for 10 years, I specialize in helping my students craft a compelling essay that is not only academically sound but engaging and persuasive when needed. I also tutor elementary math, science, reading, writing, and test prep. I pride myself on being well rounded and a strong communicator. I am passionate about empowering my students with these skills.When I'm not tutoring or teaching, you will find me acting on stage or musically directing a choir. I specialize in musical theater acting and have performed all over the country including Carnegie Hall.I am a big sports fan too, and every once in a while, I might just glue myself to the couch to watch my favorite team play (or at least put it on DVR if I'm working).I am a marathon runner, indoor soccer player, dancer, and a whole lot of other things that I am trying every day. One of the things I love about living in New York City is that if I choose to, I can experience a new activity or hobby every single day.I love tutoring, teaching, and coaching because I believe the secret to happy living is giving. I get so excited watching "light bulbs" go off when I work with my students, and it just inspires me to continue my own learning and development.I promise to give you direct yet caring feedback, and my goal is to get you to the result you're looking for as quickly as possible and to bring you to a level of understanding that's so strong, you could teach it to someone else.I don't do the work for you; I empower YOU. Nothing is more energizing than feeling like you're growing, and I want you to experience that joy.

I am passionate about helping students because I've been a student my whole life! Even though I'm a professor now, I love to learn. And now that I have experience, I love to help others along the learning journey. I have degrees in English and education from Rice University, UT Austin, Texas State, and Texas A&M. I also studied abroad in England at the University of East Anglia and have traveled to many countries. I tutor English and Spanish (my family is from Mexico City). My favorite thing to tutor is writing, and I have taught writing from the Kindergarten-graduate school (Ph.D.) level (what I currently do). I am here to share tools and tips to help you succeed in your learning journey.

Academic Coaching Tutor • +30 Subjects

I received my Associate in Arts and Bachelor's and Master's degree in Educational Psychologist with a focus on learning and teaching techniques from Manhattan College and University of Salvador, respectively.Since my first graduation, I have founded my own corporate training company and traveled broadly around the world coaching and mentoring (in English and Spanish) people from different cultures, backgrounds, and socioeconomic levels; helping them to achieve their professional and personal goals. While more than 25 years of experience allow me to tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Coaching, Spanish, Public Speaking, and assisting people to live their dreams.I just became a Special Education Teacher and I obtained another Master in Education (M.Ed.) at the UNLV focused on Special Education & Behavioral Disorders.I am a living proof than even when you might be trying to master a new language, you can get great academic and life results! This personal experience and having fun during the learning process have been the key to finding ways to help others conquer their success as well.

Elementary School Tutor • +13 Subjects

I am excited to help elementary and middle school students (online or in person) in the area of reading and writing. Especially those that struggle with reading, as I have worked with not only my own children in this area, but students who have fallen behind or just need that extra ENTHUSIASM with reading! Reading is fundamental to be successful in all subjects!! I feel that by becoming a proficient reader-which means to enjoy, comprehend and analyze, a student can succeed in all subjects. In today's world, with so much information on the internet, we must all know how to comprehend and understand, and discern what we are reading. I want to make reading fun, enjoyable, a world that can be opened up for someone--and a tool for a student's successful school experience and future career path.
