MA; 25+ yrs; Reading (phonics + comp); Math; Writing
Hello! I’ve been a classroom teacher and teacher trainer for 25+ years. I teach all levels, and have a specialty in remedial reading, writing and math. I have 10 years of experience teaching Singapore math, a manipulative-based conceptual program that strengthens understanding and builds mental math skills. I was an undergraduate science major and have often incorporated science into lessons because children usually enjoy it. When working with students who are in need of extra support... Read more

Current Master's Student in Actuarial Science
I graduated Fairfield University with a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics, and minors in Educational Studies and Economics. I'm currently a Master's student at Columbia University studying actuarial science. At Fairfield I spent time at a local elementary school, gaining some hands-on experience teaching the children and helping them with their homework. We accomplished what we needed to in a lighthearted but timely fashion which kept them focused and engaged throughout the class. With m... Read more

Simplify the Complicated: English, Writing, Speaking, ESL...
What has made me so successful throughout my 10+ teaching career is that I try to deconstruct challenging academics into their simplest form, then build upwards from there. This makes it easier for students to digest, and quickly established a referential foundation. Many times, students struggle because they deem the content dull, disengaging, verbose, confusing or otherwise intimidating. I have an excellent track record of helping to undermine such struggles by helping students better compr... Read more

I Like to make Math FUN!
I made a career change in 1999 and decided to earn a Masters Degree in Secondary Education Math. This was one of the best decisions I ever made. I have been teaching math since 2001. It was been the best career choice I ever made. I have been working eight years at a Children's Psych Center. I have tutored students through a Learning Center. I try to help my students have fun while learning. It seems to be the right approach. My favorite part of tutoring is when I see the confidence level ... Read more

I am an experienced chemistry tutor looking for students!
As both a tutor and a TA I really enjoy working with determined students who want to learn. I believe that a lot of students think they are bad at chemistry because their instructors have not taught them properly. I like to try to get students to understand why chemistry is important and interesting before starting on any particular subject. With this method I've managed to have students who hated chemistry in the beginning come to appreciate it by the end of their course. When it comes to... Read more

Certified and Experienced! Specializing in English and MAth
About a decade ago I graduated from college. I was a sharp kid (I graduated with honors) but I didn't have much direction. I fell into finance (that was the thing for sharp kids to do at the time) and after some ups and downs, I decided that career path wasn't for me. Between that point and the present there was a teacher shortage, and I got recruited to teach math and special education. In exchange for spending a few years at a high need school in the city, the state paid for my graduate deg... Read more
