Award-Winning Tutors from University of Delaware

With a BS in Chemical Engineering (U of Maryland), an MBA (U of Delaware), successful experience in business, and a continuing teaching and tutoring career at both the high school and college level, I bring a varied and deep background to support a student. Currently, I am a Professor at two colleges, teaching Marketing, Management, Leadership, Communications to young adults, and mentoring MBA thesis candidates. I tutor technical high school subjects like Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, as well as Writing and English.My tutoring philosophy is simple: work my way out of a job as quickly as possible. Give the student study skills, tools and confidence to get to their desired level of competence on their own. I don't give answers; we find them together. I try to add realism and practicality to the sometimes dry, theoretical learning experience. There is nothing more satisfying than to see a student's success and progress.I love music and sing in three groups that entertain at hospitals and nursing homes. I enjoy tennis and golf in sunny Arizona, and poker and watching sports with friends when the sun goes down. My bride of 46 years and I travel extensively for pleasure and to visit our two children and three grandchildren.

Welcome! I look forward to improving your skills. I am a Elementary Education/Special Education Teacher with experience from K-12. I have used all kinds of tools to improve reading skills, phonics to sound out words that re unknown, reading comprehension to be able to answer questions about what they read such as details or drawing conclusions, writing and basic math. My students enjoy the instruction because of the success that they are able to achieve. I keep in close communication with parents so that can see what their child is achieving and allow me to address any of their concerns. Students work with me and also have independent practice opportunities. When the student succeeds, I feel so proud.

I am a senior in chemical and biomolecular engineering at the University of Delaware. I have tutored high school level math and chemistry as well as informal college level math and engineering. As a student myself, I understand the difficulties of math and science courses and over time have developed a method to approach any problem. By instilling a deeper understanding of the material, students can critically think about and dynamically solve any problem.

The job of a teacher or tutor involves the consideration of many different factors and variables when working with students. It is not as simple as passing on information about a subject or topic. As instructors, we must not only inform, but also explain, clarify, backtrack, bring in outside examples, and respond to challenging questions. We must comfort and relax our students, and help them develop tools for success. We know that our job is challenging, because if our job were easy, then our students wouldn't need us.I feel that it takes someone who is cognizant of all of these things in order to be a truly effective educator. During my 8+ years as a high school chemistry teacher and tutor, I have developed the experience and the skills in order to help students with challenging subjects, and not only to improve their grades, but to improve their understanding and confidence with which they approach their classes. While my own knowledge of chemistry and math is very strong, that means nothing if I can not pass it on to people learning the subjects. That is where I take pride in my abilities though - my students over the years consistently praised my ability to take complex ideas and break them down into relatable and manageable ideas. I have seen countless students struggle initially, only to succeed and flourish with a little bit of effort and assistance.If you are interested in being tutored, you are most likely a bright, hardworking student. Chemistry and math are very difficult subjects to master, and very few people make it through them without the assistance of teachers, peers, or tutors. I am here to help any students that are looking to feel more confident and comfortable, to improve their grades, to gain better understanding of fascinating topics, and to prepare themselves for the rigors of college or graduate school. I will do whatever it takes to help you master the material, drawing on my years of experience and all of the practice I have had with these subjects. I take being an educator very seriously, and I will help anybody that is looking to help themselves.

Hi, I'm Matthew Schiff, a math tutor based in Plainfield, NJ. I believe learning is a personal and often non-linear journey, where mistakes are essential to growth - not detours. I create a supportive, challenging environment where students feel safe to engage in the "messy process" of learning. I tutor high school subjects including Pre-Calculus, Advanced Algebra II, Algebra, and Geometry, as well as college-level Calculus and Discrete Math. I also offer specialized support for the SAT Math and Praxis Mathematics (5165) exams. My academic background includes a Master of Education in Curriculum & Instruction - Mathematics Education (4.0 GPA, University of Texas at Arlington) and a B.A. in Secondary Mathematics Education (cum laude, 3.8 GPA, University of Delaware). With experience as a high school math teacher, I emphasize clear expectations, mutual respect, and differentiated instruction. I believe students should be able to choose how they learn. Whether through guided instruction, peer collaboration, EdPuzzle, or DeltaMath, I adapt my methods to meet each student's needs. My student-centered approach, rooted in William Glasser's Choice Theory, builds engagement and ownership. To support independent learning, I've developed "Schiff's-Notes," a collection of lesson summaries and practice problems. I also use Desmos, EdPuzzle, and DeltaMath to make learning interactive and feedback immediate. My goal is not just to teach math, but to help students build confidence, critical thinking, and resilience - skills that extend far beyond the classroom. In my classroom, students have shown over 70% growth on state assessments. As a Praxis Math tutor, I've helped future educators boost scores by 50% in just 8 weeks. If you're ready to master math and enjoy the journey, I'd love to help.

Teaching is about passion, not only a passion for the subject but for the desire to impart knowledge on your students that will stick with them for a lifetime and prepare them to be part of a new and evolving future. In those terms, teaching is a process of engaging students and empowering them to pursue their own learning. To accomplish this, a tutor has to wear many hats: that of a mentor, a cheerleader, an expert, and others.Many times in the Physical Science class it can seem like an extension of math, an endless list of numbers of formulas that are just given as absolutes. The truth is that being able to solve problems is much less important than understanding the underlying concepts present. Having an understanding of these concepts will make the mathematical work that is involved much easier. The role of a tutor is to reinforce the instruction of a student's teacher and build up a base of knowledge with the use of real world examples.My teaching style is deeply rooted in the idea that each student is a unique human being who has to be listened to and given adequate attention in order to reach his or her full potential. I believe that every student can learn to appreciate and enjoy even the most difficult subject if their teacher has prepared a lesson in the correct way.

Hello! My name is Abby, I recently graduated college and right after started teaching in Manhattan. I am so excited to help you with your learning journey and I can't wait to meet you!

To be successful citizens and human beings, students must acquire more than knowledge; they must acquire good habits. It is habits such as curiosity, critical thinking, open-mindedness, respect, and cooperation that I hope to pass on to my students.My love-affair with language began at the University of Delaware where I graduated with a B.A. in English. Inspired to spread my passion for literature, I attended Simmons College, where I earned a Master's degree in Education. Upon receiving my teaching certification, I worked as an English teacher at Cambridge Rindge and Latin High School in Cambridge, MA. Most of my classroom experience focused on under-performing students, and my greatest joy as a teacher was in finding ways for reading and writing to feel relevant to students who had previously written off literacy as a non-essential.Along with my work in education, I have worked for the past five years on a variety of projects to create a sustainable and humane food system. In my own neighborhood of Jamaica Plain, I co-founded Egleston Community Orchard, an inclusive green space that grows food and community. I've also worked with several local non-profit organic farms as a grower and educator.I consider myself lucky to be an educator, in particular one who specializes in English language arts. Language is perhaps the only subject that has the potential to truly further every student on their path to self and world discovery. Through teaching reading and writing, we are, in reality, giving students a myriad of tools: the ability to communicate, to perceive the world through a multitude of perspectives, and the power to understand history and one's place within it.

After obtaining my Ph.D. in mathematics, I have been teaching and tutoring students ranging from middle schools to graduate schools in different areas of mathematics. As an experienced tutor and educator, I love sharing my knowledge with students from all over the world.

I am a recent graduate of the University of Delaware with a Bachelor of Arts in Foreign Language, Literature and Culture (specifically Spanish Studies).My grandparents are from the Dominican Republic so I grew up immersed in the Spanish language from a very young age. I have worked with students of all ages from elementary school to college.I make an effort with my students to make things as fun and interactive as possible. I believe it is important to cater each student's individual learning needs. For example an auditory learner may learn better through music and song while a visual learner may benefit more through flash cards images. Whatever it takes, it is my job to find a method that suits the student best and create a comfortable and productive learning environment. In my spare time enjoy reading and exercising. I am a long distance runner and recently just participated in the Philadelphia Marathon. I am hoping to compete in the 2016 NYC Marathon this November.

I am a graduate from Sacred Heart University where I received my Master of Science in Occupational Therapy. I received my Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science at the University of Delaware. I am an Occupational Therapist with a passion for tutoring future therapists in both coursework and in preparation for the NBCOT exam. I appreciate and value the educational opportunities I have been granted. As a healthcare professional, I want to give back to my profession and help others reach their goals.

My positive experiences involving Second Language Acquisition serve as my primary reason for continuing to promote the benefits that the Spanish language poses both culturally and linguistically for students. It is my goal to combine my personal experiences with my ability to be a compassionate and enthusiastic mentor to contribute to your student's overall language acquisition experience.My specialization in Hispanic Literature provides a distinct dimension to my teaching and is used to cultivate analytical and critical thinking skills amongst my students. By fostering an atmosphere in which students feel confident and motivated to exercise newly acquired grammatical skills exclusively in the target language, I provide them the opportunity to practice their roles as global communicators and gain confidence to practice these skills in their own classrooms!

I am a PhD candidate at Thomas Jefferson University studying prostate cancer cell and molecular biology. I have always been fascinated by the way our world works. During my undergraduate career I experienced the joy of passing that knowledge to others through teaching assistantships in functional anatomy and leading workshops in general chemistry. I have privately tutored in both subjects and I also have experience working with middle school students and teaching basic science and experimental methods. Whether your future career involves science or not, I am committed to helping student understanding of biology and chemistry fundamentals and employ a combination of active and visual learning techniques to supplement the textbook material. I am passionate about making the sciences approachable, as introductory courses in the area can be intimidating

I graduated from the University of Delaware with a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science in 2020. I then attended the University of Pittsburgh, earning a Master of Science in Sports Medicine. During my time at Pitt, I gained invaluable experience as a teaching assistant for both graduate and undergraduate courses. My time as a teaching assistant, in conjunction with my 6 years of volleyball coaching experience, has facilitated my desire to become a tutor. I enjoy forming relationships with individuals while helping them achieve their full potential.

HS math and SAT tutor. My students improve their math grades significantly and SAT scores, sometimes as much as 230 points. I teach students not only math but also how to study and how to take tests. Many improve scores in unrelated subjects as a result. I have a degree in math education (6th-12th grade) and an MBA. I started tutoring friends and family, realized I loved how my students succeeded, and have done it ever since.

Hi! My name is Erin and I LOVE teaching music! I am certified to teach all levels (vocal/instrumental) to all students K-12. I received my Bachelor's degree in Music Education from University of Delaware, and I have been a middle school General Music teacher for 3 years. I also have experience teaching private voice lessons, choir, and even toddler music classes!I am also passionate about working with young music education candidates working to pass the PRAXIS exam. This test is the last step on the way to becoming an educator, which is the BEST profession! I hope you will join me on this journey!

I've been a TA for 2 years now, teaching and grading labs for both general chemistry and Biochemistry. Additionally, I've tutored for a wide variety of students in many subjects outside of chemistry, though have done extensive tutoring in chemistry fields as well. I generally tutor for World History, International Relations, Writing, Political Science, Chemistry (Inorganic, Organic, and Physical), Biochemistry, and many other subjects. I am a B.S. Biochemistry from the University of Delaware and I'm intending to go to medical school.I'm very passionate about helping students do their best and get the best grades possible. It's unfortunate many students don't feel like their professors or TAs don't actually give help. What I'm hoping to do as a tutor is to mend that gap a bit with a mutually beneficial interaction.I love tutoring most General Chemistry, Biochemistry, and International Relations type work. I have very strong depth and breadth in all these subjects, and always am willing to help students on these issues. I tutor best through example, either working through problems students have or talking with them about the work. I also am very good at helping students brainstorm essay topics or issues, and reviews on the subject. I prefer active learning over passive learning, lecturing is boring and tends to be a waste of time unless there's some interaction.Outside Academia, I love to write and hike. I'm also an avid subpar cooker, so if you want to know how to burn eggs I'm your guy.

I have taught English at the high school level and have been a writing tutor at the college level. I am a retired Air Force officer; currently, I am a full-time graduate student in Social Work, with a goal of working with veterans.I have a BA in Philosophy, and Master's degrees in Aeronautical Science, International Relations, Strategy Development, and English (soon to add Social Work to the list!), but my true passion is literature. I have found reading and writing about great works to be one of the most personally fulfilling ways to spend one's time, so I am very excited to work with students who are on their own journeys of self-discovery and skills development!

I am an experienced tutor and teaching assistant with training in high school, college, and graduate chemistry and biochemistry. I am also qualified to help you with editing your essays, improving your grammar, and understanding literature and writing. Please reach out, and we will schedule a stress-free first meeting :)

My name is Thomas Bubanj, and I am a student at the University of Delaware studying Mechanical Engineering. I have interest and knowledge in a wide range of engineering, mathematics, and science courses.

I am currently employed as a pediatric Occupational Therapist in Philadelphia. I obtained my master's degree from Thomas Jefferson University in 2019, and my bachelor's degree from University of Delaware in 2018. I am extremely passionate, and have a longstanding love of pediatric OT, as I have been volunteering since I was 12 years old. Currently, my Master's capstone project on pediatric chronic pain interventions is being displayed in poster format at the Pennsylvania Occupational Therapy Association's annual conference, and I will be presenting in November at the Post Conference Institute on Children & Youth, as well as the Post Conference Institute on Fieldwork/Capstone Education.I love learning and I love sharing knowledge with others!

I am currently a graduate student in Chemical Engineering at the University of Delaware. I am working on using magnetic and flow fields to create advanced materials by directing the self-assembly process of nanoparticles . I have tutored students in Chemistry, Physics and Math all throughout undergraduate and graduate work. I truly enjoy breaking material down into its core components that allows the students to understand complicated information.

I am a recent graduate of the University of Delaware with an Honors Bachelor of Arts with Distinction in International Relations. I am also an incoming PhD Student at the University of Pittsburgh. As a former Honors student, dean's list recipient, and research assistant, I have experienced educational success and I hope to share this learning expertise with other students. I have also successfully completed an undergraduate senior thesis defense, honing my writing and public speaking skills which have become my favorite subjects to practice and teach. I also spent four months living abroad in Paris, France with a French host family and taking French courses. In my spare time I enjoy reading, running, watching films, and trying new cuisines.I have also, on several occasions, relied on private tutors. As a lifelong student and teacher, my tutoring style offers a unique approach that caters to individual need of students of all ages. If you are looking for a well-rounded, global perspective on learning, I am the right person to assist in your educational development. Having struggled and excelled in certain subjects throughout my educational history has given me a holistic perspective on teaching to students of different levels and ages. I am looking forward to a long career in teaching, and I hope I can be of service to you!

I hold a B.A. from Gettysburg College in English, a M.A. in American Studies and Social Policy from Georgetown University, and a M.A. and Ph.D. in Political Science and International Relations from the University of Delaware. While earning my degrees, I have also worked in health policy for various non-profits and academic institutions for 15 years. In addition, I taught both full time and as an adjunct college professor for 7 years total. During my time as a professor, I worked one on one with many students to help them gain a better understanding of concepts covered in the courses and researching and writing papers. It is very important that students understand the subject material and can express their understanding through thoroughly researched, written, and edited papers. I believe that life is a series of courses in education; it does not stop when you leave school. To that end, I enjoy traveling around the world, having traveled to Europe, Asia, and the Caribbean for work and pleasure. Everywhere I go, I try to visit museums, historical sites, and common places the people enjoy in the region. In my spare time, I enjoy working out at the gym, pilates, reading, movies, and cultural and sporting events in the area.

I am a graduate of the University of Delaware. I received my Bachelors of Mechanical Engineering degree and obtained minors in Mathematics, Economics, and Biomedical Engineering. Since graduation I've worked for a large diversified manufacturing company in one of their leadership rotational programs. Over the past 2 years I've moved from Hartford, CT to Charlotte, NC and currently reside in Milwaukee, WI. During this time I've been active in the local communities, volunteering up to 10 hours per week. Much of my volunteer work has been focused on helping adult learners in Math and English as they progressed towards obtaining their GED and also helping young learners in the same subjects. I am a strong believer in not only learning the material at hand, but also developing a study strategy that will ensure long term success, regardless of the subject.

I am a Physics and Math teacher with an undergraduate degree in Chemical Engineering and a Masters degree in Physics. I have also taught Chemistry labs at the Community College. I have tutored college students in math, chemistry, and physics. I have also tutored K-12 students in all levels of math, reading and study skills. I am passionate about helping people feel comfortable with math and science, and I try to adjust my teaching style to the learning style of the students. In my spare time I love to read and do puzzles.

I received a Ph.D. in Biological Sciences from the University of Delaware this year. My research involved analyzing the evolutionary history, distribution, and functional significance of the sialic acid catabolism and biosynthesis gene clusters in the bacterium, Vibrio vulnificus. My dissertation work has given me a strong background in bacterial genetics, phylogenetics and bioinformatics, biochemistry and metabolomics.I have a passion for teaching and have experience tutoring introductory chemistry and biology courses, teaching undergraduates in a laboratory setting, and mentoring incoming graduate students. I have lectured sections at the undergraduate and graduate level of biology, focused on general biology and microbiology. I have also furthered my knowledge in pedagogy by taking courses in teaching the natural sciences through case-study based learning, as well as on the challenges of teaching the natural sciences in general. In the future, I hope to become a principal investigator at a research institution to continue to do excellent science involving bacterial metabolic evolution and mentor students.

I graduated from Caesar Rodney High School and became the 1st member of my immediate family to attend college when I decided to play football and major in Mathematics at the school that best suited my needs: Wesley College.Wesley's math program was small but filled with innovative professors and linked closely with an award winning chemical kinetic research department headed by renowned educator Dr. Malcolm D'Souza. The academic atmosphere encouraged constructive teamwork and helped me value virtuous collaboration and leadership skills. I studied applied and abstract mathematics while also learning pertinent information about the protocol for conducting research. The summer after my sophomore year I approached the chair of the mathematics department, Dr. Derald Wentzien, for permission to conduct an independent study about athletic participation in college. And in 2011, I begin researching Athletic Participation and itsTime Commitment as it Pertains to Academic Progress over the course of the fall semester while I lead the #3 ranked football team in Division III to our 3rd straight national semifinals appearance; the first time it had been done in its 141 year history.The following season I wrote The Art of Winning, a research study detailing the results of my findings, as well as the validity and implications of those results. I used my influence as a student-athlete, beat writer for the student newspaper The Whetstone, undergraduate researcher, and liaison for the Mathematics department to advocate for academic support and accommodations for underprivileged and underperforming students at Wesley College. I went on to accept a full scholarship to the University of Delaware's graduate education program and, in 2014, was hired by one of Delaware's most prestigious high schools, Cape Henlopen HS.I have spent the last 3 years executing rigorous versions of honors and college prep Statistics, Pre-Calculus, and Advanced Algebra. Now, I am ready to move on to the next chapter of my life.Feel free to contact me at erichgillespie93@gmail.com if you have any questions.All the best, Erich Gillespie Jr.

I was born in Texas and moved to India with my family when I was very young. Last year I came back to the US to pursue my higher studies.I have a Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering and a Master's degree in Particle Technology. I have completed my Master's degree and while I search for full time employment, I want to utilize this time constructively and teach students and since I really enjoy teaching, I intend to continue doing so even after I have a full time job.Besides my academic interests in the field of science, I am extremely passionate about literature, music and the performing arts. I have been trained in Hindustani Classical Music for 10 years, I was president of my University Drama Club and also my School Debate Club and I am usually the go to person when there is want of poetic expression.Most of my free time is spent binging on old classic movies or singing out loud to classic rock and I also love to write.Having grown up with a little sister, I always took it upon myself to teach her (even if she didn't want me to sometimes). I have also taught few other kids and I realize that I very much enjoy the process of teaching and getting to know my students.I believe that the best way to teach someone is to first know the subject thoroughly myself, and then breaking it down in the simplest way possible for the student in a manner that they are able to relate to which can usually be achieved by establishing some common ground with the student.I am very much looking forward to getting to know some people through this platform and helping them learn in a fun way.

Hi! My name is Daniella. I am an Elementary Education teacher with a Special Education certification. I teach 3rd grade in Delaware at a Title 1 charter school. For the summer I am home on Long Island. I love to teach reading, writing, social studies, math and science at the Elementary level. I am currently applying to a Masters program to become a Reading specialist. I have tutored for many years leading up to my teaching certification and still tutor today. I have tutoring/teaching experience with kids from Kindergarten-4th grade. I love bringing my classroom materials (manipulatives, sorting cards, flashcards, whiteboards, workbooks, and more!) to my tutoring sessions. I also am a certified Kid Yoga teacher through the Kidding Around Yoga program and like to incorporate some stretches/movements during breaks. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

Tutoring is a great opportunity for me to continue to pursue a mission of education and providing a venue for anyone to receive help in understanding science. I believe science literacy is incredibly important in our modern society. I have ten years of experience teaching middle school science and a degree in chemistry education from the University of Delaware. My experience has allowed me to develop a variety of strategies to appeal to multiple learning styles and hopefully help any student persevere over any learning challenge.

I'm currently a senior at the University of Delaware studying English and Business Administration. I have a passion for helping others improve their writing of the English language, primarily focusing on spelling, grammar, punctuation, and diction, and I have previously tutored private clients in these aspects. I have also participated in the College Readiness Scholars Institute as a Peer Mentor, where I helped High School students prepare themselves for college. I helped them write their college essays, practice basic collegiate level math, and think critically to analyze literary texts. In my free time, I enjoy both reading and writing fiction, cooking, and all things related to theatre.

As a creative and student-centered art educator with over 10 years of experience, I believe that everyone is an artist with a unique voice worth nurturing. I hold a BFA, a minor in art history, and a K12 art teaching certificate, which ground my teaching in both strong studio practice and art historical context. My experience teaching both in-person and remote have allowed me to design engaging, adaptable lessons that meet students where they are and encourage confidence and curiosity.

I have always been helping people learn something beyond what they already know. I have a drive to help children be better than what they are. I have a bachelor's degree in mathematics and I still challenge myself from time to time. I have been helping and tutoring fellow students throughout my college career in mathematics. I have volunteered and taught dance classes for several years now. So I am experienced in handling a class as well as catering to different people's unique learning patterns. My dream is to be a high school math teacher; so I have no problem teaching high schoolers. I feel I can take my experience and translate it into an improvement in student's lives.

I graduated from University of Delaware certified to teach k-6 any subject and 7 and 8 ELA, and I have been teaching 7th grade ELA and coaching middle school softball for the past two years. While I continue my education at West Chester University of Pennsylvania studying literacy, I aim to educate based on the idea that students should have a place where they feel safe and supported enough to grow into their potential. I am dedicated to helping my students grow into honest, compassionate, and driven young learners. Above all I, believe in giving students a safe space to express themselves, explore their potential, and develop a love for learning. In turn, this will guide them to become analytic thinkers, which will ensure they are ready for whatever lies ahead of them. I am am excited for the opportunity help students in grades 4 through 8 by tutoring them Language Arts like reading, writing, and mechanics, and study and organizational skills.

I am currently a Junior at the University of Delaware in the midst of applying to medical school. While I have strong academic foundation in the biological sciences, I have diversified my educational background by taking several Psychology, Sociology, and Philosophy classes. I truly believe that being well-rounded in all facets of academia is what comprises true wisdom. I enjoy interacting with people and gaining their perspective on situations and trying to understand how they view scenarios. This one of the reason I enjoy tutoring. When I am not consumed in school work, I love running, doing yoga, and exploring new places.

i graduated from the University of Delaware with a Bachelor of Science in Education. I also hold a Master of Education in the Psychology of Reading from Temple University. I am certified by the state of Pennsylvania as a teacher of grades K through 8 and as a reading instructor . I also have certification as a teacher of preschool, Pre-K, and K from the Pennsylvania Department of Private Academic Schools.I have enjoyed teaching all levels, preschool through fifth grade, as well as in special education classes. My experience has been with entire classes, large groups, small groups, and with individual instruction.Elementary school reading skills(phonics, fluency, comprehension) and elementary school math skills are my favorite subjects to teach. Because success with social studies and science concepts depends on effective reading skills, I enjoy teaching those subjects as well.I have especially enjoyed working one to one with students, because each lesson can be totally structured to meet that child's needs. During this past summer, I tutored a student via Zoom, and the experience was very rewarding for both of us.I am passionate about helping children achieve, grow, and gain confidence in a positive and supportive learning environment.I pace each lesson according to the student's needs, using the modality or modalities (auditory, visual, kinesthetic, tactile) that work best for her, so that the end result is a feeling of accomplishment, not frustration. If a student is having difficulty with a concept or skill, I'll say, "This one is difficult, so let's try another way!"To help maintain a positive momentum, I remind the student, throughout each lesson, of what she has learned and mastered. We also will take a 2 minute break to stretch, jump, or do a yoga pose to energize and get more blood and oxygen moving through our bodies and brains!At the beginning of the first session, I like to chat with the student, so that she feels more comfortable with me , and I also get to know a little about her. We also talk at the beginning of every lesson to catch up on what we've been doing since last time. This personal connection is so important, as it increases our ability to work together in a comfortable way.At the end of each session, we always talk about all that the student accomplished in that lesson. We also acknowledge any difficulties that the student encountered, with the assurance that we'll continue working on and developing that skill. Ending in this way helps the student to feel good about her progress and encourages positive feelings about the next session. It's a win-win!I am very committed to keeping parents /caregivers informed about our work and about any reinforcement that the parent or caregiver can give at home. Because I always feel positive about working with children, my discussions with parents are positive as well!
