12 years of theater, awarded the Sunni Sugden Memorial Scholarship from my Acting teacher I have helped tutor AVID high school students when I was a senior at Cherry Creek High School. I enjoy helping the kids learn and believe that being a tutor would pay it forward since I had so much help from tutors. I always helped my friends out because I was in higher level classes than them some of the times. I also worked with tutors and know how much of a difference they can make. I'm currently studying at CSU and still work with friends on homework if they need help. I believe in success. There is no guarantee someone will learn on the first try. It's all about enjoying the learning experience and positive reinforcement. I also believe in humor and think that it can help a lot in peoples difficult situations.

I teach with passion and enjoyment, which has always proved conducive to the learning process. I, myself, have always enjoyed being a student, and realized what qualities in teachers I found most effective. Patience, competency, articulation and good-natured humor go a very long way in education and I believe I possess those traits. I have worked with mainstream students, Special Education students, and Deaf students in a variety of educator roles from straight tutoring to camp counseling. Through these experiences, I have realized that a teacher must have flexibility and creativity in how they present information, as everyone has a different learning style. The responsibility lies with the educator to find that style and help the student reach his/her highest potential, and I feel confident in my ability to do so. In all my endeavors I strive for variety. My collegiate career at U

I have taught elementary school in Colorado for 34 years. I have basically taught 2nd-6th graders, and taught a middle school class (combination 6th/7th/8th) one year. The past seventeen years, I have taught gifted/talented students. G/T students usually have asynchronous development, meaning they have strong abilities in some subjects and are weaker in others. Some g/t students are twice-exceptional, meaning they are gifted in particular subjects but have learning disabilities which need to be addressed in others. Therefore, I have experience with the entire spectrum of learning disabled through profoundly gifted students. I am a master teacher in all subject areas, except the arts. I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I try to discover each student's particular learning style to help them successfully enjoy

I am currently striving towards being a career educator. Throughout my professional career I have always been responsible for training and mentoring my clients and employees. I was a substitute teacher in Florida where I taught middle school and high school students. I love to mentor and advise students in the most advanced and current teachings in the field. I believe that everyone has something that motivates and inspires them. It is up to us as educators to find those motivations and cultivate them. I am patient, understanding, and always open to new ideas and lesson plans. I believe in consistency and perserverence.

Although I have no formal teaching experience, we all learn and teach everyday in our lives. I am very intelligent and want to pass that on. I have done much reading when I was younger, exploring memory and mnemonics. I also took the Mega-Memory and speed reading courses by Kevin Trudeau. They are the ones that are in the Skymall catalog. I believe those really helped me in my studies, because I learned to approach learning the same way I approached sports. People would laugh in university when I would tell them that I never read anything for school late at night because I was tired and it wouldn't sink in properly, or that I would never eat a meal less than one hour before a test and I challenged them to try the same. Learning starts with learing about oneself and how you best perform. It is very similar to sports, you start off learning the techniques and then you must learn how

I enjoy working with kids and seeing the look of success in their eyes. Filling students with the "I can do it!" attitude is what I find the most joy in teaching. I pay close attention to what works the best for each student. If the student learns the best visually, then I write a lot down. I read aloud and explain for auditory learners, and so on. The most efficient way is to read, write, repeat, explain (by putting it in real life situations/experiential- that intrigues the individual's interest) for most students. As a substitute teacher, I have learned to accomodate my teaching style to the environment in which I teach, as well as teaching age appropriate lessons. I have taught all subjects and many different ages, but I enjoy math the most. With my education counseling degree, I have achieved the knowledge to incorporate the student's learning style with instruction. Individ

I enjoy teaching a great deal and working with all ages of children. However my favored age group is adolescents. I try as much as possible to appeal to as many learning styles as I can in each situation. Not only does this increase the amount of understanding in the student, but it also increases the amount of retention. It has been my experience that if a visual learner gains understanding visually, that understanding is reinforced by other avenues, such as auditory, or kinesthetic. I always do my best to make sure that the student has learned the needed material and gained competency in whatever skill they are learning. When I graduated college I found myself wanting to help others. I began doing this by counseling youth who had substance abuse issues. For a time I also worked with the youth at a homeless shelter. Helping them with homework, ESL studies, and math skills. The

As the oldest of seven children, I am very comfortable working with children and enjoy it very much. My favorite teacher was in third grade, and he made such an impression on me that fifteen years later I am still reminded of him and his unique teaching style. To me, every child is unique and learns better in a different way than others might. Having a wide range of teaching methods is important, as well as being patient, empathetic, and innovative to help someone learn in a way that is interesting and stimulating. Every person, child or adult, can reach their academic potential with the right guidance, and I thrive on that interaction. Being a meticulous student at Colorado State University, I excelled in academics. During my nine semesters, I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Language, Literature, and Culture with a concentration in French, as well as Political Science. Helping others excel

I love teaching and I believe that learning can be a positive experience. I know that people learn in different ways and one method does not fit everyone. I work hard to determine what would be the best learning style for each individual. I am patient, easy going, and my approach includes humor and a positive attitude. I know that if I believe in the ability of my students they find the potential in themselves. I don't give up - and have seen amazing results. So many young people have been turned off by the school system and the pressures they are under. My intention is to help young people approach their studies with an attitude of interest and a knowledge that they can be successful. After receiving my BA degree I taught elementary school while also obtaining an MA degree in English. I have always been a writer and have published poetry and stories.

After graduating from college with a BS degree in Zoology, I chose to serve for two years in the AmeriCorps. A large portion of my responsibilites were teaching in and out of the classroom on the importance of environmental stewardship. I recognized early on the amazing dynamics of teaching and the lives that were changed because of it. After AmeriCorps I spent a majority of my time substitute teaching in three different states - California, Colorado and Idaho. During my time in Colorado, I tutored for a private boarding school. I tutored in math, science, English and even grammar for both local and international students. Part of my tutoring responsibilities were to keep weekly contact through email with the students' teachers and their parents. It has been written about for centuries where one teacher made all the difference in the decisions that a student made for the rest of his

I attended college on an opera scholarship and finished my degree in English. I have a very diverse background which makes me able to relate to everyone I meet. I believe fully that every person has the ability to succeed, that all things are possible. I have been teaching for over five years, including running an at-risk school for middle-school and high-school students. I have taught (in no particular order) Mathematics, Reading, Art, Science, Social Studies, Singing, Music Theory and Appreciation, Literature, Logic, Philosophy, Writing, Poetry, and others, and my focus has always been upon the individual learner. I typically am able to move an individual up by multiple grade levels within a month in reading or mathematics. I believe that everything is interconnected, much like a spider web, and that if you can connect information to what interests a person, than learning can becom
