Hi my name is Roy. I'd like to tell you about me. I was born and raised in a small town in Ohio. I was an only child with two wonderful parents. I enjoyed growing up there had great friends, a bike and a dog.It was understood that I was to go to college. That was my first step after high school.Before finishing college I enlisted in the US Navy and for the fours years played trumpet in the Navy Band. I then played professionally for the next four years.I returned to college to get a degree in Elementary Education. I taught school for the next eleven years. I earned a Masters Degree in Elementary Education during this time. I then went back to school to be certified to teach math in high school. I taught math and moved through several school districts. I then returned to college to work on my Ph. D.I finished up teaching as a professor at the University of Akron.I've picked up a lot of hobbies, I guess that's what they are, scuba diving, flying, traveling, skiing and shooting. Due to a disability, I am not able to participate in those activities any longer. However I still fly radio control aircraft, read and play trumpet.I have tutored off an on over the entire time I have taught. Sometimes to help the student catch up, sometimes to keep the student up and sometimes to show the student new ares to explore.

I have been a math teacher for 10 years; I love math and I love teaching!I totally get it: for most people, the end-goal of studying math isn't to become a mathematician or to fall deeply in love with division and derivatives.For most people, math is just a tool that they need to use (or study) to achieve a goal (becoming a doctor) or to accomplish a task (figuring out how much paint you need to paint that funny shaped room).So, I don't expect my students to love math because of its inherent beauty. They might, who knows? I just want to help them use math to achieve their own goals.

I received my Bachelor of Science degree at Ohio University, where I majored in Business and Interpersonal Communications. I then went out into the business world for a decade before earning my Master's Degree at the University of Phoenix here in Dallas.I have tutored students as young as 4-5th grade, and college students too, but my main concentrations have been with grades 7-12. I worked with 36 high school seniors who could not pass the TAKS Tests a few years back, and was able to get 35 of the students passing grades, which allowed them to graduate. I have also helped 8th graders who needed to take assessment tests to enter high school early pass the tests and successfully move up a grade. It is a wonderful experience to help students learn, and many of those whom I work with are really smart but just ned a little guidance, confidence, or an understanding at how to look at a problem a little differently. My main subject areas have been English, Writing, Public Speaking, Math, Science, United States History and Geometry. I also tutor standardized test taking.One of my strengths as a tutor is to take difficult subjects or concepts and make them easier to understand. I am completely dedicated to helping students get better. I like for teaching and learning to be fun, because students learn more if they are enjoying what they are being taught.My outside interests are enjoying time with my family, traveling, sports, and working out. In addition, I work with a non-profit organization that helps children, and we offer them sports and entertainment programs as a way to give them positive activities to do and goals to achieve.I look forward to working with you and helping you learn more and improve in your areas of academic interest.

Hello! I have studied French for 18+ years and am a fluent French speaker. I am highly enthusiastic about French language and culture, both of which interest me immensely. I've had the great fortune of working in Vincennes, France on the outskirts of Paris for a year in 2013-2014, where I taught English to a 6-year-old child. When I arrived, he only knew "Hello" and "Goodnight", and, by the time I left, his skill set and confidence in the language had developed to the point where he understood 95% of what I said, was forming complete sentences, and would regularly ask me (in English) for new words whenever he didn't know how to say something!I developed a deep love for teaching language through this experience, as well as my prior experience living with a host family in the Southern France city of Avignon when I was in university. These chances afforded me the opportunity to pursue French language by forming several close friends with whom I still remain quite close today and hope to return to visit soon. I also tutored the child's stepfather, brand new to English, and discovered that I equally enjoyed working with adults.The friendships and experiences I had living abroad have stayed with me, and I continue to pursue French every day. As my friends joke, if a film or television show exists in French, I will find it! I make a point of consuming the majority of my media in French, and, as a huge music-lover, would guess that at least 60% of my music library is French music.I believe that students learn best when they have a reason to learn. This means figuring out what interests them and providing opportunities to pursue these interests in the desired language. When teaching French at Ohio University as a teaching associate in 2014-2015, I introduced my students to a variety of French YouTube channels, music, television shows, games and websites. I encouraged them to find at least one thing that they found interesting or enjoyable, the idea being that, in order to learn French, you must find something French you wish to incorporate in your everyday life. Music is a particularly successful media form that I stress, as most people enjoy music and will develop good pronunciation and comprehension skills through repeated listenings.I also encourage students to learn about French culture, in part through personal stories, and to reach out to native French speakers through various interactive media forms. French culture is often misunderstood by Americans, in particular, and students are often very interested in learning about our differences and similarities.Outside of French, I am also a big writer and regularly participate in persuasive writing discussions as well as creative writing for my own personal entertainment. Additionally, I enjoy photography and animals, spending time with those close to me, and am always up for baking a good batch of chocolate chip cookies with friends!

As an experienced middle and high school math teacher, I focus on trying to make math more relatable for my students, as math can be extremely challenging at times. With my experience in teaching grades 5 - 12, as well as classes in pre-algebra and algebra, my goal is to help students break down problems and concepts into their most simplistic form to help them with their understanding of the material. Through using a variety of teaching strategies, I strive towards helping students enjoy learning while also developing skills focused in problem solving and number sense. Outside of the classroom I am a huge Baltimore Orioles and Ravens sports fan. I am also the head baseball coach for the school I work at while also serving as an assistant wrestling coach at the high school level. I look forward to working with you and to help you strive for success in math.

When I was six, my family and I moved from East Lansing Michigan to Montreal Quebec in Canada. I started French school there in first grade. It wasn't an easy transition. I switched language from English to French, but I was capable of speaking more than two languages fluently. It did add another skill set.After eight years living in Canada, we moved back to the United States. I went back to learn English again which I was very thankful for. I kept my French language intact, because it was a great opportunity for me to help people in my high school to learn more. It showed that I was capable of helping others in French and being a French Tutor.I enjoy watching sports like football and basketball since I was a kid. I really enjoyed playing both, because it gives me motivation and helps me to get stronger each day.Traveling is always a passion for me exploring new places and experience new culture.I'm passionate about art and drawing. I like to create my own image of design and show people my artistic work. My parent right now all work in computer fields where I'm capable of using Windows computer.

Since graduation, I have traveled extensively, tutoring students online from all over the world. I instruct children and adults looking to improve their English (as I am a certified ESL instructor); and private clients in the Southport NC in the USA. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Literature, History, and writing. I also am interested in Equine studies. In my experience helping struggling students prepare for standardized tests, we always seem to have the most fun with remarkable advancements prepping for the Critical Reading and Writing portions of the exams. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all my students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading that which enriches my life, motorcycle riding, swimming, photography, and film editing. I am also available to tutor students preparing for the HKDSE.
