I find that students have their own unique style of learning. I also believe that by establishing a solid set of study skills while catering to individual techniques of the student, the learning process can grow and thrive. Therefore, I would combine my training in theatre and performance to make learning an enjoyable process. I have a very kind and patient disposition which helps foster a supportive learning environment. The most rewarding education comes from self-discovery and I firmly believe that the best teaching comes from this principle.
At this point in my professional career, I currently do not have any experience teaching in a formal classroom environment. However, my experience does extend into performance education, as I have three years experience working for the Denver Museum of Nature and Science in which I increased participation of general visitor and school ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that there is no substitute for individual instruction and that all students benefit from receiving one-on-one feedback from an instructor. I am friendly, patient, laid back, but also dedicated to helping others achieve their best. I love to find ways to make the learning process fun and/or unique, as my experience has taught me that this greatly assists in retention of the lession. Finally I am optimistic and believe that expressing a positive attitude and encouraging others to adopt positive attitudes greatly improves the learning process.
I have a BA in History and an MS in Library and Information Studies, which provided me with study/research skills and knowledge of history and ancient literature. I gained grammatical and writing skills from writing papers, essays, and case studies. I have three years of experience as a substitute teacher where I taught a variety ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I became a teacher because I enjoy mentoring and helping others attain their goals. I have a passion for Mathematics, Software technology and Business applications of either or both subjects. I offer a pupil the twin goals of attaining the competence and character needed to succeed in their chosen field. I demonstrate the need for teacher and student to operate with empathy and active listening while we support each other in mastery of our tasks. My colleagues and principals normally appreciate my suggestions for improving “best practices “. I am an innovator with a passion for excellence. I believe in most fields one needs to attain the stage of good before one seeks better. I shall continue to focus on gaining a greater, more empathetic participation by all in social as well as learning interactions in my classroom. The student needs to assess themselves, and make a commitment to acqui ... read more

I very much enjoy teaching and helping students with positive activities. Success is very imperative, and fun and interesting methods encourage the student's performance. Encouragement is very important to help the student attain a positive attitude about their abilities. Tieing in current event helps the student relate to the real world as it applies to them, and the value of being informed. The students must know that you care about them as a person, and are willing to help them attain their goals.

As a tutor at the University of Arizona Writing Center, I worked with undergraduate, graduate and international students on all aspects of the writing process. This encompassed higher and lower order concerns including brainstorming, outlining, drafting, formatting, thesis and topic sentence work, grammar and ESL concerns, research methods, and content. My tutees came from all majors including English, History, Business, and the sciences. I worked on everything from rhetorical analyses to technical writing for business to personal statements and research papers. I also spent two semesters in an online tutoring program for high school students to submit drafts of their college admissions essays for commentary. They could then make revisions and resubmit additional drafts for further critiquing. Additionally, as a Magna Cum Laude History graduate with a Political Science minor, I foc ... read more

Teaching students is a passion and an art. I approach each situation by trying to understand what stress factors are experienced by the students, as well as how they need to be approached to learn. Some students need to have a direct approach, others need to try on their own and then step by step correct their mistakes to both build up confidence for doing well and understand where they went wrong. I strive to make sure the student understands the process and not just memorizes the answers.

Growing up with four younger sisters, I have learned the valuable skills of patience and understanding. I approaching teaching and tutoring as a collaborative effort in which I treat each student with dignity and respect.
