A Little Bit About Me...

Although my experience as a teacher appears brief, I feel I have the knowledge in my subject to help students learn and enjoy science. I taught for one year as a High school Biology teacher at Bonner Springs Ks. I also taught as a Title 1 Teacher at Edwardsville Elementary in Kansas City. My wife and I moved here the summer of '10 for her OBGYN residency. I am currently working as a Software Analyst for MSB here in Wauwatosa WI.
Teaching is an art that requires two things: Passion and Preparation. A teacher, regardless of his/her subject of interest, should be passionate about his/her profession as well as organized and skilled in the art of teaching. I intend to nurture both of these characteristics before I set foot in a classroom for the first time and for all of my remaining years as a teacher. Teaching, in my mind, is about making a difference in the lives of others. My goa ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I developed my passion for teaching others from a a pre-college program I was in called Upward Bound. I learned study skills, time management and other skills that helped me excel in college. After college graduation,i obtained a tutoring position with the University of Wisconsin-Parkside.I served as a mentor as well guiding them through the difficulties of high school and applying for college and financial aid. My next position was for Admission Possible. Admission Possible is a non profit organization whose main purpose is to get low income students into college. I held after school workshops where I taught them how to apply for scholarships, write high quality essays and how to put together a good resume.
I believe the best way for students to learn is by doing and discovering the material hands on as oppose to being lectured to. I like to instruct demonstrate the learning mater ... read more

Experienced with Special Learning Needs- I Am Here to Help!

I have been a Special Education Teacher for 15 years and an administrator for 5 years. I have taught at both the elementary, intermediate and high school levels. I have worked with students who have been severely cognitively disabled and those that have had multiple attention and behavioral concerns. I am very patient and have been able to create systems to provide structure to keep kids on track. I always want children to know what to expect and have a structure in which to be successful.
I believe my patience and creativity allows children to feel comfortable with their own learning needs. I work with them and help them find their unique learning style. We then build on that style to build their confidence and ability. All children can learn once we find their unique learning "channel".

Free and unconstrained autobiographical writing is one of the best ways to coax a student insecure about his or her writing skills into putting into words intense experiences from their own life. I tell my students to just tell me in their own words what they are trying to say. When they speak aloud, the words flow, and then I say, "There is your opening sentence right there. Quick! Write it down." At other times, I ask them to pretend that they are really someone else, an actor in a television show, for example, and I have them imagine that the character, not they themselves, are speaking. This releases the student to let go of inhibitions and let the film roll "for the character" and then they stop focusing on themselves.

A Little Bit About Me...

I find that demonstration though example is the first step to understanding. This allows for an initial exposure to the material and plants seeds of knowledge. Adjuvant to demonstration, motivation and enthusiasm to learn the material must be taught. All the homework in the world cannot replace this! Regrettably, students often struggle due to poor instruction or vague textbooks which erode a student’s motivation. Fortunately this can be overcome with a little outside assistance. My long term goal of teaching is to foster a mature understanding of the subject matter. To master a subject it must be learned from multiple angles before the bigger picture is illuminated. Once a subject is illuminated it must be continually revisited for long-term retention.
To me education is a way of life. My academic career has been driven by a thirst for knowledge. I have earned a B.S. in Bi ... read more

Knowledge is not something to be horded. I think we each have a responsibility to share what we know. I love to help people understand. I prefer to teach by lecturing,but I realize that individuals learn subjects individual ways, and thus as a tutor my task is to be clear and patient. From working with different people at different levels, I also know that to be successful I have to be flexible and creative, adapting my teaching style to the students' learning ability and personality.
As an undergrad student at the University of Wisconsin, I worked as a writing assistant in the Academic Resource Center assisting students with reading, writing and grammar. I have home schooled my two children for over 10 years using an original curriculum as well as purchased curricula. In addition, I have volunteered for the past three years at the local public library, tutoring writing, reading ... read more

I am a very student-centered teacher. I get to know my students goals and dreams and aim to help them meet and exceed them. I love to learn and want students to develop their strengths, so they can have successful lives.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love working with students and have excellent patience and communication skills. I also like to think of creative ways to help students learn if they are not understanding. I have found that the method of facilitating rather than dictating to be a highly beneficial style of teaching. I have learned that if students construct their own learning experiences they will not only retain information longer, but they will become more confident in their own abilities.
I have experience working with a wide range of students, from K-12, as well as special needs. My specialty is microbiology, and have received a degree in cell biology from Marquette University. I have learned how to discipline myself when it comes to learning, and have been able to use that to help other students of all ages. I also volunteered this past semester tutoring at a Milwaukee Public School for second grade in ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that each student is unique. Therefore, a variety of teaching methods within a supportive learning environment are required to address each student's uniqueness. I have found that students relate to analogies, practical examples, discovery, computer simulations, and real life applications as opposed to straight memorization of content. Above all, the optimal blend of patience and guidance are required to motivate each student to achieve success. I have worked in a variety of educational roles and have experienced that, as an educator, there is no greater feeling than to see a student's eyes light up after a concept is grasped. For me, this is the ultimate achievement of student success!

A Little Bit About Me...

As an instructor, I believe it is my responsibility to help students develop as complete, well-rounded persons. This means insuring not only that the students learn the knowledge contained in the course syllabus, but also how to think critically, to communicate effectively both orally and in writing, to make thoughtful and ethical life choices and to be a responsible citizen. My method of reaching these goals is student-centered with interactive instruction and supported with the appropriate use of technology.
I taught Constitutional Law and American Politics at Marquette University, and tax law at the University of Wisconsin Law School and at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. I have also taught at IRS and KPMG programs, as well as at numerous seminars for state and local bar associations, voluntary legal associations, and the UW-Extension.

As a recipient of higher levels of education, I know the career opportunities that such an education opens up later in life. And I am motivated to share my knowledge and inspire others to access those opportunities as well. The first thing I do is to determine the level of learning that a student is open to and start there. That helps me to adjust my teaching according to the needs of the students. I am a patient teacher and I allow the students to reach their potential through gentle guidance.
Obtaining a Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering has exposed me to advanced courses of Math and Science, two subjects which have always fascinated me. I have pursued and achieved excellence in these areas all through my school years and my post graduation career as an industrial engineer has only advanced my knowledge in these areas. English language has been a strong interest of mine ... read more
