A Little Bit About Me...

Graduated with three degrees in 2012 from Arizona State University. I am a native to Arizona and I went to high school at Horizon in Scottsdale, Arizona. I went on to three community colleges taking classes at Paradise Valley, Glendale, and graduated in 2001 with my Associates degree from Phoenix College. I went back to get my bachelors in 2009 and stayed to complete three bachelor degrees from Arizona State University in Communications, Political Science, and Sociology. If you want someone who has experience working with youth I have over 20 years of experience in the public and non-profit sector. I worked for the State of Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections, The City of Phoenix Parks and Recreation, and Boys and Girls Clubs of America in Metropolitan Phoenix and Tucson.
Worked with youth ages 5-18 with over 20 years of experience.

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 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 of subjects to students ages 5-12. I have experience using library catalogues, online resources, and electronic databases (ERIC, WorldCat, Web of Science, JSTOR, and LexisNexis Statistical). Finally, I performed volunteer work for the Internet Public Library answering questions from students of all ages covering diverse topics like history, astronomy, physics, mathematics, and geography.
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, p ... read more

I love working with children and am able to communicate with most in a way that produces a secure and encouraging environment. I am patient, easy going, and respect each child's right to express himself in an appropriate way. I believe each child can learn if he is given the appropriate materials, methods, and teacher for his style of learning.
My first teaching experience involved establishing a Title I Kindergarten classroom. Since that first few months of teaching, I have loved working with children at the kindergarten level and teaching them the basics of learning to read and prepare them for 1st grade. I have taken several classes from different universities in teaching reading and methods of teaching. I am a retired teacher, but continue to work with children through volunteer work.

More About This Tutor...

I have been teaching and tutoring students for over 10 years. I teach students up to grade 12. I have been working in Canada as a tutor and worked with dyslexic students as well. I taught math and excelled myself with a high gpa up to grade 12.
I always try to ask the student what they think they are weak in. Always try to change the teaching method so that the student does not fall in a routine every session. They sometimes decide on doing, for example, in math, inventing their own equation and participating in their own learning.

I have over 20 years experience in classroom and substitute teaching, both in Canada and in Phoenix. Teaching is my passion. I particularly enjoy working with students in grades K through 4th. However, I have experience teaching 5th and 6th grades, as well. I enjoy working with students of all ethnic backgrounds and those with particular challenges. Over the years, I have given extra help to many students after school. It is a joy to work one-on one.
I set clear, attainable goals with my student. I am patient and sensitive to frustration, should it arise. I believe it is very important for the student to like the teacher, and to feel safe to ask questions, slowly building success upon success. I recognize that students have differing learning styles, therefore I attempt to uncover what works best; ex., some are visual learners versus auditory learners.

A Little Bit About Me...

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.

My style of teaching varies per student. I am able to adapt to fit the child's style of learning. I have found that many students are discovery students or kinetic learners. I enjoy giving examples and finding understanding in a problem. Children need positive enforcement and encouragement. I enjoy working will all age groups and seeing each child achieve their goals.
I pride myself in the fact that I am a life long learner. I continued my education in graduate school in order to excel in my professional field, but also to assist others in their life long goals. My masters will be completed in May of 2007 in the field of Education with an emphasis in Counseling/Human Relations. I will utilize this education as a means to counsel, teach and explore. I have excellent written and oral skills and I have extensive knowledge in the health science field.

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

My teaching style is very hands-on, exploratory and structured. I expect my students to work hard, stay focused, and give effort. I can work with any skill level of student and I motivated to try different techniques to ensure they not only learn the material but also apply it. I believe all children can learn, but it is up to me to find what works for the individual.

I participate in ongoing professional development to be a better educator and I am always for looking for new ways of teaching children.

As a graduate of a college known as the Ivy League of the South and a highly ranked business school, I am very driven to teach others to achieve success in their education experience. I have earned my bachelor degree in Accounting while working full time and later went back to school studying medicine. I am now a Tutor in several of the most frustrating and demanding subjects: Accounting, Calculus, Algebra, Chemistry, Anatomy and Physiology and Physics. I enjoy teaching and bring fun into all my lesson plans.
It is my goal to enhance learning to help your child get their homework done and for them to learn valuable skills along the way.

I love teaching and working with all young children. I believe all children can learn but each child learns at a different pace. I look forward to helping your children become even better students. My philosophy is that children learn best through hands on experiences and not through just reading textbooks. If children are able to further their learning this way they will be very successful in school.
I graduated from NAU where I received a Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education. While studying for my degree I took many classes dealing with Early Childhood Curriculum, and also classes dealing with different teaching philosophies and methods. Additionally, I have taken extensive class work in classroom communication strategies. During the last two years I have tutored second and third graders in reading and language arts.
