My philosophy in teaching is based on the fundamental principle that it's okay to not know-- we learn through our mistakes and I will be cheering you on, never punish you for learning.My grandmother was a wonderful teacher who helped me re-learn Chinese when I moved back from Japan to China. Because my grandma served as a mentor who believed that 'I can do it', I remained confident and went from bottom of class to top. Ultimately, we will not only work on your weakness, but also develop mental and physical toughness.Tutoring experience:spent 2 years in college tutoring pre-meds in Organic chemistry, and student athletes in Physics, Biology, and Chinese. Upon graduation, I spent 1 year tutoring elementary students in math. I felt a sense of accomplishment when my student improve over the course of tutoring, and I felt extremely appreciated when I receive positive feedbacks from the students. I'm extremely motivated to help you succeed

I enjoy helping students learn to love reading and writing. Over the years, I worked with middle school, high school and college students. My goal was to improve their skills in reading, writing, social studies, drama, English 101 and 100G and Shakespeare Comparative Film class, which was a Senior Ventures college class offered for senior citizens. In addition, I have given many gardening demonstrations and talks for garden clubs and libraries. For the last 30-plus years, I have worked and continue to do so professionally as an actor and singer. I am a cabaret singer with K. J. McElrath, working together as McElrath Cabaret musical duo. I've worked professionally for 30-plus years on stage, on camera and the radio. I am an endorsed teacher in grades 4-12 English, 4-12 English/Language Arts, 4-12 History and 4-12 Drama. I have earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Theatre Arts: Performance and a Master of Arts degree in English from Central Washington University in Ellensburg, WA, as well as endorsements in Language Arts and History. Other education includes a Bachelor of Religious Education degree from Prairie Bible College in Three Hills, Alberta, Canada and coursework at the Summer Institute of Linguistics at Trinity Western University in Langley, British Columbia, Canada. I tutor in English, Language Arts, History, Drama, Reading, Creative Writing, Study Skills and Organization, among others. I especially love tutoring writing and literature because my students and I get exposed to new ideas and ways of thinking that open our minds to greater understanding and different possibilities for life. My philosophy of education is to give students some freedom of choice in how they learn, with guidance, to build strong engagement with learning. My tutoring style encourages my students to have a lifelong love of learning. Outside of teaching, I love to read all sorts of books, write creatively, sing and act in cabaret shows and plays, walk my Chihuahua and two cats, grow delicious tomatoes, draw, paint and experience with zest all the humor in my life.

I have known since the age of 7 that my passion is mathematics. I guess some would consider me to be a math "geek" since I love numbers and I love all levels of mathematics. I even solve problems in my sleep! Scary, huh?! I have taught and tutored secondary and post-secondary students for 40+ years. I want to help all students experience academic success in mathematics by building self-confidence in problem solving.My hobbies and interests include reading murder mysteries, guest services, singing, walking, traveling, and entertaining.

Over the last few years I have had the pleasure of tutoring some of the most athletically talented students at Temple University. The best part of the job has always been the teammate like relationship we form when setting academic goals together and then reaching them for the student using tools tailored to the student's study style and needs.

I currently teach all levels of high school French in Alamance county. I recently received my Masters in French and Francophone Studies from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where I taught undergraduate French courses in addition to pursuing my own coursework. As a tutor, I work with students to develop their weaknesses and let their strengths shine on their current material. Furthermore, I strive to better prepare my students for the next level and seek to lessen the chances of them becoming disheartened and pushed away by the difficulty of French in the future. This is because I teach French not only to help students fulfill their graduation requirements, but also to instill in them a life-long passion for studying global relations, the appreciation of diversity and difference, and the tools for navigating foreign cultures.

I recently graduated from Cornell University in May 2014. I received my Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering with a concentration in Business. Math and Science have always fascinated me because of their applications to the technology we use in everyday life. As a tutor, these are my favorite subjects to work with because they involve definite answers that are firmly rooted in logic. My mission in helping students with these subjects is to show them how to break down complex problems into simple steps. This methodology will enable them to not only succeed in courses and on standardized tests, but also to develop an analytical mindset that will benefit them for the rest of their lives. Outside of my academic life, I enjoy weight lifting, soccer, playing guitar, and reading fiction.

I am currently an undergrad at Vanderbilt University, majoring in Mathematics and Political Science. I have been tutoring students since high school, mostly in science and math. I've found that STEM courses are intimidating to many students, and I hope to get rid of that fear and promote an appreciation for numbers and the sciences. In my tutoring, I focus on helping students understand the concepts beneath the problems, so as to facilitate learning rather than memorization. I strongly believe that every student is capable of reaching a strong level of understanding in any subject, given the correct tools, a teacher who can offer what they need, and some hard work.I am also available for standardized test prep. The SAT and ACT are one of the biggest hurdles in the college admissions process, and a score can make or break an application. Luckily, students can prepare for these tests fairly easily - repetition, time-management, and concept-review are all most students need to improve their scores, and I am happy to teach them how to do it.In my free time, I enjoy hiking, running, reading books about international politics and history, watching TV and movies, and listening to music.

I recently graduated from Cornell University where I majored in Environmental Engineering. Because of my acedemic background, my tutoring strenghs are in math and science. I began tutoring in high school as president of the Math Honors Society and a member of the science honors society. In college, I continued to teach peers through Cornell Outdoor Education.I believe any student can suceed in the math and sciences regardless of gender or natural ability. Through repition, visulaization, and step by step understanding, any problem can be conquered. My goal is to help each individual over the initial, reaction of "I can't do this" to "I can figure this out." I hope to cultivate confidence and understanding in your child regardless of the topics they struggle with.

I am a freshman at Yale University, hailing originally from Seattle in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I believe that education is one of the most fundamental aspects of a society's wellbeing, and that it is the duty of those of us who have been graced with the advantages of a good education to give back in some way; one of my motivations for tutoring is to do my part in that way.In my free time, I love playing piano, running, riding my bike, and learning languages. My strongest academic interests are languages and literature, math, and art.

Hello there! I am a current undergraduate student at Occidental College, where I am majoring in Chemistry. I have a passion for teaching and engaging students with their education. There is little that is more rewarding than aiding a struggling student successfully. In high school, I was a member of the National Honors Society and relished the opportunities that organization provided me to tutor others. I love learning, and I love sharing that with others. What better way to engage others learning than tutoring?I enjoy video games and other computer related tasks, baseball, basketball, and I love to read.
