I recently completed a two-month internship in TAS/OTS in EY this summer. From this experience, I gained valuable knowledge in the advisory area. I participated in a mobile internet App project for a startup technical company. The major goal for the project is to do financial forecasting for the company. In the group, my job was to help create a business plan report and translate from Chinese to English. I also worked on cash flow forecasting. As a team, we did a lot of calculation and researching of the data from client in order to evaluate the net income for up to three years. Through the estimated net income, we could evaluate how much the company need to as an investment and the risk level of the business. From this project, I applied finance and accounting skills from my MSA program. During the time at Deloitte in the summer 2012, I learned to use audit system 2 which is audit so

I graduated high school in 2000 with a local diploma and then went on to college at Utica School of Commerce. I graduated in 2002 with an Associated Degree as an Administrative Specialist. I have worked at a few different jobs and just went back to college again at Utica School of Commerce and got my certificate degree as a Medical Office Assistant. When helping others, I do it two ways. I tell them how to do it and guide them through it. Other times, I show them how to do it. However, I do not do it for them. I would love to have the chance to help children succeed in their education! It would be an honor!

Most of my undergraduate work has been in the field of science, and in particular, astronomy and physics. I have a solid background in the field of science. I have attained my bachelors in Astronomy and Physics and Masters in Education at Colgate University. Not only to I have experience in these areas, but I am also capable of creating various lesson plans, Virtual Field Experiences, and activities that allow for multiple ways of learning. I have taught in areas such as Mathematics, Earth Science, and Physics at grade levels from 6th to 12th grade. Most of my focus throughout my education career has been on motivation and creating a classroom community, but another important factor is learning how to present material in a fashion that is understandable to my students, and assessing to see if they get it is continually a challenge. I do believe in hands on experiences that teach students

I began teaching in fifth grade when my science teacher conceded that I knew more about sharks than he did, so when we got to that lesson, I took over for two days. In tenth grade, I had an internship at my high school teaching ninth grade Global Studies. When I graduated college, I began substitute teaching while I wrote my first few novels. I have substituted in every major subject at the high school level. I have also been an adjunct professor teaching study skills and business english at a local college. I tend to prefer lectures combined with textbook assignments as opposed to teaching either using films, powerpoint presentations or computers. I work best with motivated students, even those with lower abilities, though I teach exclusively at the high school level and above. I am patient and one of my greatest assets is in analology; I have a profound ability to take complex id

Between the years of 1978 and 1984 I was a monitor and then a supervisor in a small Christian school using the ACE curriculum. They have various programmed learning booklets teaching all of the major subjects. You are actually more of a tutor than a teacher if you work with these booklets. I have experience in the four major areas of learning which are English, Math, Social Studies, and Science. I was with students from first through twelfth grade. While I was college I had occasion to take two years of college level English and also statistics up through 600 level. The English helped when I was writing my Master’s Thesis, it was 120 pages long. My committee found it to be well written. The statistics was the basis for the thesis. I love to help a student work their way through any difficulty they are having in any of the major subjects. It is always a challenge to direct the students

Before I begin to teach I like to attempt to understand how much the student comprehends about the particular subject. I prefer to teach globally and with examples. I would rather the student understand what is going on rather than memorizing a step by step approach. I also have found it beneficial to implement a reward system. I would like to let it be known that I would be in my senior year in college and do not yet possess a bachelor's degree. I have two younger brothers in middle school who I have been helping with math and science homework for the past few years.

My content base focuses principally in the physical sciences and mathematics. I have tutored chemistry since my senior year in high school, and I continued to serve as an informal tutor to my classmates in my undergraduate studies. In graduate school, I have tutored college math, chemistry and physics. Between my experiences tutoring both high school and college students, I have an advanced skill set to work with adolescents and do ‘hard’ science. With my graduate degree in physics education, I know both what to teach and how to teach it when it comes to math and science. I bring tremendous energy, diverse skills, and advanced knowledge to my classroom. I bring no less with me to my tutoring. I believe that all students require specific levels and kinds of support in order for each to achieve their maximum academic and personal potentials. Some students are inherently strong learners and

I have always enjoyed teaching people in a one-on-one or small group environment. It allows me to tailor my teaching style to fit the individual student or group I’m working with. I enjoy using creative methods to teach a topic, including creating multiple ways to explain a term or concept and providing analogies to concepts that are familiar to the student. All people comprehend concepts in different ways and at varying speeds. Thus as I teach a concept I am constantly looking for signs of understanding, and then stop and reinforce a concept when it is apparent that the student does not understand. Teaching is a very fluid process, one that requires acute understanding of the challenges students face when learning, and an active process that requires energy and intelligence on the part of the teacher, qualities I believe I possess. I was fortunate to be able to enter college full-t

I graduated from Northeastern University with a Bachelor's of Science in Chemical Engineering. During my collegiate years, I realized that I had been given great opportunities through the excellent teachers in my life. I wanted to provide other children with the same opportunities I was given. I learned about a program called Teach for America. This organization's mission is to provide all children in America will attain an excellent education. After a rigorous interview process, I was accepted into the program. Currently, I am a high school mathematics teacher. I teach Algebra 1 which is typically a ninth grade math course. This year was very successful. In my second semester, I had 99% of my students pass the same exam. In terms of my teaching style, I believe every student can and will learn in my classroom. I do not believe in allowing students to sleep, have side conversations

In being a student the majority of my life, I know what it is like to have educational goals and to work towards them. I have attained 2 bachelor degrees in Chemistry and Physical Science which has allowed me to gain knowledge and understanding in the fields of math and science. As a part of my curriculum, I completed 3 semesters of advanced coursework in the field of Spanish as well as a number of experimental reports and presentations allowing me to hone my writing, speech, and computer skills. I worked for 2 years in a program centered on promoting literacy in elementary aged children and in the past year worked as a chemistry tutor at the college level. For the past 4 years, I worked with students of all ages as a teacher’s assistant. As a recent college graduate, I have a fresh idea of what goes on in the mind of a student. I know that there are various techniques that work best for

I am a strong proponent of critical thinking skills. For me, teaching is much more than being a content expert, but also a patient, yet demanding coach. Rote memorization is never enough; a thorough understanding of the underlying concepts and facts is crucial in achieving true mastery of a subject. The dynamic presentation style from my classroom work is brought to one-on-one tutoring as well. My teaching experience began almost as soon as my higher education did, beginning as a Red Cross CPR instructor and then a volunteer tutor while an undergraduate. After earning my bachelor's degree, I worked with trouble youth. A desire to extend my learning led me to seek a Master's degree while working as a public school teacher. I continued with my goal to earn a doctoral degree and extended my teaching experience to the college level.

I enjoy teaching and working with children. I am patient, understanding, and considerate. I believe there are many different styles of learning and I strive to incorporate them into my teaching. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to learning. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives. I received my Associates degree in adolescence education and my Bachelors degree in Physics and Mathematics (double major), all while carrying a grade point average of 3.2. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers and laboratory reports, along with essays in many various areas of study. During the last four months I have been a substitute teacher for the Rome City Sch
