While in the Air Force in Europe, I attended a local Volkshochschule and took German language lesions with French, Turkish, Hungarian and Czech students. It was the equivalent of "German as a Second Language" instruction 100% in German. Although this was informal classroom instruction, I always felt that it was a tutor relationship helping me learn every-day German without the pressure of traditional education formalities. The tutor-student relationship is dear to my heart because I learn... Read more

Knowledgeable, Prepared, & Passionate (12+ Years experience)

I believe in modeling a situation and having the student explain his or her step-by-step process to me. I feel if you can effectively communicate how to complete a task, then you are that much closer to mastering it. I use this approach in the classroom as well. I also take pride in simplifying mathematical concepts for students who may find some more difficult. I have a Masters degree in Education-Leadership from St. Francis University. I have been a 7-12 math teacher since 2003. I'm curr... Read more

In my experience, teachers who understand that everyone is unique and possess different strengths and weaknesses are the most effective. I understand that a one size fits all philosophy never fits quite right, so I make a point of adapting to various learning styles and trying new methods of instruction. I also strive to explain things in clear, understandable terms that the student can relate to. I am patient and motivated to help people learn and succeed. I am comfortable tutoring children ...

Write well - and be remembered!
- $40 / h
- Roaring Spring , Pennsylvania ( 16673 )
- 20 miles
Technology has given us the great gift of enabling our thoughts to be transmitted to one recipient or to many quickly, easily. There's no great hurdle - if you have access to a keyboard and the will to transmit a message then the deed is soon accomplished. Coursework (or a job application!) however demands a higher standard - a clear demonstration that material has been mastered. Not a quick gloss, but a thoughtful and expressive response to the task that has been received. If you are hav... Read more

I'm a recent graduate from Penn State, receiving my (BS) in Economics. I'm currently trying to find a job in the marketing field where I can incorporate more than one of my passions. In the meantime, I'm looking for ways to further build myself. And then it hit me. In order to further my own goals, I need to be able to further the goals and aspirations of others. Since then, I've taken up a mentor-like role at my local gym. I frequently teach new and experience gym-goers different techniqu... Read more

I began tutoring by helping other students in my undergraduate courses. The tutoring expanded to helping students in ESL courses and middle school children. I enjoy one-on-one tutoring or small group tutoring to provide personalized experiences. I like to provide student-paced fun tutor experiences through hands on projects when applicable to learn the material and to challenge others through questions that initiate self-created answers rather than tutor provided answers. I have passed my ... Read more
