Viewing credentialed tutors from University of New Orleans

...I received my Master of Science degree from the University of New Orleans in 2004. I have over three years of experience being an in-home tutor, and I enjoy interacting with the students to help them become more motivated about learning and doing well in school. The students I have worked with often had trouble...

...look forward to creating new experiences here in Philadelphia and providing an exceptional quality of academic guidance to as many students as possible. Of course, given my upbringing, I will add creativity and flair to allow for an entertaining and positive learning experience. As we say in New Orleans, laissez les bon temps roulez!

...Outstanding University Graduate by the Honors College. I currently teach Chemistry to 10th and 11th grade students in Miramar, Florida and I'm certified to teach Chemistry and Biology. I've tutored in English, Math, and Science at the elementary through college levels. I love to write poetry, plan interactive programs for young people and inspire youth...

...school. I have concentrated my efforts on specializing in the areas of math and science in the upper elementary grades. Having students master math skills during this time in the education sets them up for future success and less frustration at the middle school level. Since science is so closely related to math at the...

...field. My interest in philosophy and first-order logic led me to undertake the LSAT as a personal challenge. My first attempt put me in the 97th percentile, and I've continued to study and refine my test-taking methods, treating LSAT questions like my daily crossword puzzle. I believe that learning is a process of mastering tiny...

...addition, I have experience in working with children diagnosed with developmental exceptionalities such as : ADHD, Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Mood Disorders, Autism Spectrum Disorder (including Asperger's Syndrome), and children with cognitive and/or language delays. I have a B.S. from the University of New Orleans and am currently 2 classes shy of earning my masters in education...

My teaching philosophy is to facilitate learning by emphasizing the critical concepts and to demand more critical thinking from my students to really get a grasp of the concepts. My emphasis is on helping students to learn instead of just pushing my knowledge to them.... I have always been passionate about learning new things and expanding my experiences in life. I started teaching a couple of years ago because I wanted to contribute my knowledge to the community. I have been working for more than 5 years since I graduated, and I thought that it was time to give back. In the spirit of learning new things, I tackled the task of putting together the course with the lectures and exams. The preparation of the class allowed me to reflect on what my goals were for the class, besides teaching the required material. What did I want my students to get out the class? The first step to answer that, was to understand who my audience was and why they were taking the class. This first part was very important, allowing me to tailor the different learning objectives to something that the students could relate to, in their current or future jobs. Since then, I always take the time to get to know my students and be open and approachable, no matter how big my class is. In teaching, my overarching goal is to give the students the fundamental concepts from which most of chemistry and biology can be understood. Furthermore, I think that it is also essential for my students to learn valuable life skills. I understand that not all of my students are taking the class to become chemists or scientists, but I want to give them the tools to be successful, not only in my class but also in life. I believe that showing your enthusiasm and passion about the subject that you teach can be contagious and pique the curiosity of the more recalcitrant students. I always try to make my class hands-on whenever possible, and to always have examples that they can relate to in their day to day lives. Open interaction in my classroom is always important and controlled. Furthermore, I always challenge my students' answers to push them to understand a concept fully. I always like to think like a 3-year-old who is discovering new things and asks “why,” trying to get a grasp of what is surrounding her. I use this same “technique” to push my students and to really see if they understood the key concepts. My teaching philosophy is to facilitate learning by emphasizing the critical concepts, and to demand more critical thinking from my students to really get a grasp of the concepts. My emphasis is on helping students to learn instead of just pushing my knowledge to them.

...the student's complete understanding of the material. To eliminate these incorrect assumptions and better facilitate the student's advancement towards independence, I employ a fusion of direct subject teaching and a Socratic style of questioning. I am comfortable working with all ages from Kindergarten to college. I am trained in Lindamood-Bell for K-12 in English Language...

I currently teach 7th Grade ELA in Kenner, LA. I am certified in secondary English (6-12), working on my masters, and have a bachelor’s degree from UNO in New Orleans in Communications. My basic philosophy is higher order thinking because these skills translate into the real world in the 21st century.... Higher order thinking is high on the list when speaking of my philosophy. I like to teach application, analysis, and synthesis as these are the skills that transfer into the 21st-century world. Evidence-based responses are required in my classes and are a major part of my philosophy.

...for 4+ years and after graduating with my Master of Science degree I went to work in the energy (oil and gas) industry for 11+ years and now I am returning to academia because I really enjoy working with young minded students and helping them understand and master science subjects especially chemistry.... I try to use positive reinforcement where after we solve one problem in detail, I will let the student work out the next similar problem by themselves, but if they run into a roadblock, then I am here for them.
