two years training, one year of competitive jazz dancing. I have tutored many young students throughout my life, and have been tutored myself. I do find it easier to work with younger children; however, I am capable of assisting those of high school or college age students who are struggling. I have helped young children learn how to read, write, count, and tell time on an analog clock. Though I do not have strictly professional tutoring experience (I have never been paid for my services) I know how to identify student's learning style(s) and work with them a way that they will benefit from. I believe that children and adult education is extremely important, and I can also assist those of any age who would like to learn to read and write.

I would categorize my teaching as passive-aggressive. My students always will have my guidance from my expertise, along with a fundamental and sound period of instructions that I will provide. However I do assert limits on my students when it comes to trial and error. Those limits are genuinely set within the parameters of the lesson plan. The overall goal for me has always been to complete my lesson plan within the predetermined time frame set, but to do so with a collective and fully comprehensive understanding of my class. Through out my undergraduate career I have held various teaching positions. However the most challenging and rewarding was being a teachers assistant for a college level molecular biology course where I was responsible for holding sections and office hours. I also volunteered last summer as a science teacher in Nairobi, Kenya where I taught grades K-12. During my

I have always enjoyed teaching others especially when it came to math. I naturally and enthusiastically interact with people. I believe all people can understand math. I have found that most need someone next to them encouraging them along and helping them to break down each method or problem into smaller, more manageable "bites." At first it seems like a foreign language to them, but I love translating math for them helping to build their confidence in understanding it for themselves. I enjoy celebrating with them when they get the correct answer. I thrive off of seeing students grow, discover, and learn. That is the very reason why I became a teacher. My first two years of college I was a math major. I took classes through Calculus III until I decided to pursue my dance minor as a major. Math and dance have always been my two greatest interests. Math has always been my strong

Pursuing a competitive major at a prestigious research institution required dedication, responsibility and excellence. These developed attributes lead me to graduate with a BS with honors and distinction in the major. Graduating with these accolades displays my extended knowledge of biochemistry and molecular biology and high proficiency in other classes taken at the university ranging from cultural diversity lectures to English grammar. I have respected my education and worked hard and shared my passion for learning for the past 6 years tutoring in algebra, high school English, geometry, calculus, biochemistry and general biology. Learning to teach at age sixteen taught allowed me to develop my teaching style into a mature and planned method. I have taught dance classes, summer camps, and tutoring sessions. The diversity of the teaching subjects gave me insight into how students l

Of course, I love children. I love fostering a wilting education and making it bloom. There are many different teaching styles that are needed for different children. I am patient, understanding, and compassionate. Every child should be given a chance to learn to the best of their ability. Since I am a visual learner, I believe children are able to learn better when a subject matter is in front of them, or when given a real-life example. When a child is focused, in a proper environment, and realizes that fun can be had while learning, they will surely reach their full potential. I want to ensure academic success to every child I teach or tutor. While substitute teaching for Palm Springs Unified School District, I was able to travel to different schools and grade-levels and observe the different ways children learn. Here, I helped students with reading, writing, and presentations. As I pu

As a graduate of University of Irvine, I have learned to achieve knowledge through research and inquiry. Researching was a major part of my degree alongside to writing and analyzing. This helps me teach the students to effectively gather their information on the area of their study. Moreover, I have tutored chemistry for two semesters in Irvine through Education Outreach Program. During my credentials, I interned at two prestigious elementary schools. I learned to manage a classroom by myself and plan for different subjects such as math, language arts, social study, science and art. I have tutored in Arabic as it being my native language. Growing up as a student I noticed that most of the teachers in the classroom pay attention to only a fraction of students. This bothered me. One of the main reasons why I decided to become a teacher is to give each student the attention he or she needs

I love being able to see those who are around me succeed, and I have a true passion for tutoring and helping others. I am energetic and caring, and I love working with others, to ensure that the upcoming generation has a brighter future. I believe that there is not just one way to teach a student a subject because everyone is different, and we all learn differently. I do believe, however, that every student should have an equal opportunity to follow their dreams, whatever they may be, and if teaching at a slower pace or trying different teaching methods is the key, then I will do whatever I need to, in order for them to become very successful. I am currently tutoring the children who attend the same church that I attend, and I have been doing this for two years, since January of 2007. I am also a director for a children's choir, and I teach voice. I am a dancer, actor, and artist in many
