Qualification:

Masters in. Education (MA Eds). Bachelor of Education (BA). Bachelor of Arts (BA History and Geography)

Experience:

I am extremely experienced. Over 7 years education. Can achieve great results. Children and adults I have worked with have attributed me to their sucess. 

Approach:

Child centred, academically driven.  What Makes My Tutoring Approach Different from Others?  1.     Experience: I’ve been teaching students from preschool to senior citizens for over twenty years in a variety of disciplines and classrooms. During that time, I've also been tutoring individual students one-on-one.  Each individual, class, age group, and subject area add to my expertise because I learn from all of them and apply what I’ve learned to help myself and my students. 2.     Education: As a life-long learner, my education is on-going.  I have been either a student or a teacher in one type of classroom or another since I entered kindergarten, and I have invested much quality time, effort,  and funding into my own education.  I have degrees in both the arts and academics, a secondary teaching credential in math, as well as in child/adolescent development.  I've also completed the teacher training course at the Princeton Review for the math and verbal portions of the SAT.  I am a concept learner by nature, and I teach to the concept.   3.     Philosophy: I believe in the limitless potential of all students.  My belief, which is supported by my experience, is that one student may excel in many areas and learning modalities , but all students excel in some areas.  Development is an individual process that is marked by specific ages and stages, yet individuals vary in their own, unique age/stage development.  4.     Teaching Style: I have the ability to see the unique strengths in each student, and I strive to use all learning modalities to coach students in developing their strengths while working on their challenges.  My approach is holistic in nature, and I take into account and am sensitive to the whole person and his/her family.   I am friendly and responsive, authoritative vs. authoritarian.  Because my teaching style and the setting in which I work are more informal, students under 18 yrs. address me as Miss Lando.  I am on a 1st name basis with students/parents who are college age and older.
