Greetings people,

My name is Jay and I have 15 years experience working as a Financial Analyst in Business and Government in North America and Europe.

I have been teaching at university level since 2007 as a lecturer, tutor and learning skills support academic. I am able to work well with students at risk, gifted high-achieving students as well as other students.

I am passionate about education and teaching. I wish for all students to succeed with their studies, career and life-course. I bring a customer-service, students-first approach to my teaching. I also have a strong work ethic, especially when it comes to being reliable (i.e. doing as I promise) and punctuality (i.e. returning work on time and attending meetings on time).

I am able to assist with: 

*Preparing assignments 
*Writing academic appeals 
*Applying for scholarships 
*Proofreading written work 
*Mentoring and personal support 
*Writing your dissertation/proposal 
*Research and sourcing library materials 
*Learning skills and academic referencing 
*Career planning, CV and job applications 
*Creating and interpreting a Turnitin © report. I have upload access to Turnitin. HOBBIES My university research interests examine the benefits of the one tutor-one student model using online learning and face-to-face tuition. I have written papers that examine best practices in this area and am happy to share these with others. 

I celebrate human diversity and enjoy with with people of all genders, ages, religions, races, genders, orientations and locations. 

I have traveled widely in North America, Europe and Asia. 

I prefer to listen to my clients and learn from them and their needs, rather than talk about myself.

Thank you for reading my profile. I wish you the best with your studies.

Description: St Charles based Learning Ascent Corporation was founded in 2002 to offer better tutoring solutions. Our tutors have helped hundreds of students in St Charles and nearby communities. We make it easy for busy parents to find custom, professional tutoring for their children. Your child can immediately get the chance to succeed that she deserves. Learning Ascent professionals know and work with local school district curricula. Familiarity with the curriculum allows tutors to identify and correct the root of problems. We can even help your child to better comprehend and complete homework assignments. Big tutoring chains place students into "canned" systems to make tutoring easy for the tutors. Parents must pay for expensive diagnostic tests that are only necessary to "place" or "fit" the student into their existing system. The systems do not integrate with local school curriculum's and the student winds up with more work–over and above normal school work.      << View Less

Description: When Stephen tutors, he utilizes Vygotsky's scaffolding method, as well as the "Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD)" method, to ensure maximum effectiveness in learning. He also uses the theory of Bloom's Taxonomy to hone in on the learning style of the student in order to maximize the effects of study. Stephen continually encourages an excitement in learning, and demonstrates this excitement as he tutors.
Stephen's tutoring philosophy: "My job is not to be the expert. My job is to condition the student to be the expert."      << View Less
