While attaining my genetics degree at Ohio State, I worked at the OSU Chimpanzee Center. After graduating, I started working for the Department of Agriculture in the Weights and Measures division. It was my job to try to "trick" the scales before they could become available for commercial use. I moved back home to Coshocton when I got married. I quickly found a job teaching adults within our county's GED program. I easily became the math and science "guru" with my background and began getting my Masters in Education from Muskingum University. Now I train other adult education directors around the state how to improve their own adult education programs. I have spent the past three years focusing on the instruction of math and language. I enjoy teaching adults as well as high school students. I do not have much training teaching below junior high; however, I am confident that I could succe

During my time at Hocking Technical College, I was taking alot of biology related classes such as Botany, Ohio Trees, Aquatic Ecology and many other related classes. I was a tutor for 1 year, teaching students about learining there trees by showing them out in the field and also teaching them latin names for these specific trees. In addition, I tutored students in Aquatic Ecology and used mnemonic devices to aid in memorization of these concepts. While at Appalachian State Universtiy, I would often organize study groups and review concepts regarding geography skills in lab and also in the lecture. During my undergrad I was involved with this tutoring for one full year. I am a type of teacher who like to focus in on both what the students knows and what they don't know. After the assessment, I try to pull those two parts together so that they can effectively understand concepts in a wh

I truly love the field of education. I recognize that all students learn in different ways. I know certain teaching methods work for some students and not others. It is important to teach in several different styles. I have earned my Bachelor's degree in Family and Consumer Sciences with an emphasis in Elementary Education. During my undergraduate studies, I was a substitute teacher for Delaware Community Schools in Muncie, IN. I have also tutored at Huntington Learning Center. I am currently working towards earning my Master's in Early Childhood Education.

I will be getting my teaching certificate and degree in May 2010. I have worked with many students in grades 7-12 throughout my college experience. I am currently in my student teaching semester where I am teaching Advanced Math, Statistics, Topics in Mathematics, and three sections of Algebra 2. I have also been a Supplemental Instruction leader for Introduction to Statistics at Mount Vernon Nazarene University. I held two tutoring sessions a week to help students with the material and concepts. I have also tutored a high school student in Algebra 1 as a side job while I have been a student in college. I am a certified Level 1 tutor, I have passed the Praxis 1 and 2 exams including the Content Knowledge exam in Mathematics. I love working with students and getting to know them as individuals. This helps me to be able to see what type of learner each student is so that I can adapt my les

I love teaching and working with children of all ages. The primary focus of my language instruction would be grammar and pronunciation--which is extremely important, because together they build the foundations of any language learning. I will also use games, songs, cultural notes, and stories making fun of the words in the target language to color up my class sessions. And for those who are still young at heart--you are never too old to learn a new language. I have a Master's Degree in Foreign and Second Language Education(TESOL--Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) from the Ohio State University, and a Bachelor's Degree in French Language and Literature from Capital University. I am fluent in English and Mandarin, and proficient in French. I have had eight years of experience teaching English to students from different linguistic backgrounds (Mandarin, Japanese, and Portugue

I have loved teaching and still keep in touch with many of my former students. In fact, I have taught many of their children! I seem to end up helping students with more than just their homework. I have always had a talent for understanding that not everyone "gets it the first time." I had much trouble with science myself. When I was responsible for hiring teachers, I usually wasn't a fan of those with 4.0 averages. I was afraid they wouldn't have the patience to answer the same question 10 times! I always try many methods (visual, auditory, tactile) until we find the right one for my students. I consider it my personal challenge to be able to get that "aha" out of a young person. During my 35-year of teaching, I spent 30 years teaching everything from Alg. 1, Geometry, Alg. 2, Trig., Statistics. I was also a math department chair for 5+ years. In that capacity I wrote c
