My teaching experience has been both formal and informal. I’ve been a teaching assistant to college undergraduates, an instructor in management studies and also an instructor for dog obedience classes (you’re really teaching the owner, not the dog). My informal experience has been with my kids, helping them with homework and as a scout den leader and a coach for baseball and softball, and now with my grandkids. In my professional life, I brought new products and services to market which involved educating and orienting individuals and groups through demonstrating and teaching opportunities. My teaching style is best described as adaptive. We all learn differently, some more so by doing, others by seeing or listening, and others by thinking it through. Learning is a combination of processes, emphasizing what works best. For me, the approach is to use what works best for the st

Teaching young children takes dedication and respect. As a teacher, parent, tutor, cargiver, or whatever role one is in a young child's early years is also an example and a role model. Children have to trust you, feel comfortable with you, and must like you in order for them to respond to you. During positive interactions with elementary school students I also work on communication, social, and emotional skills. My goal is to provide an easier method for struggling students to learn without the frustration. That was exactly what I did for my daughter. I believe that young children are our future and have to be prepared for every challenge in the 21st century. Having an associate degree in both the Paralegal and Early Childhood Education fields motivates me to stand up for the rights of children and to work with and teach young children as they grow and learn.

I have Bachelor's Degree in Education, and teaching was the only profession for me since I graduated from University of Education in Russia. My degree was evaluated and accepted at Miami University, Florida. I've been teaching various subjects, including elementary, Math, Reading, Writing, Social Science and English as foreign language. My teaching style depends on the individual needs of my students. I am very student oriented, and never believed in a certain scheme. If a child has a great visual memory, I use various manipulatives, charts, graphs to teaching the subject. If my student is very auditory, I articulate myself and teach through delivering information orally. For younger students teaching may be successful if it's in the form of the game. In other words,there's no certain pattern of teaching for me. It all depends on the particular student I am working with at the particular

I think learning and discovering is a "magical" experience. My memories of the first time I learned about the solar system and space exploration was mind-boggling. That is what I seek to bring to students--to find their interests and develop them so they have the drive to learn. I sincerely believe the process of learning and interacting with adults or mentors is how we learn social skills and the art of personal interaction that will ultimately determine our level of success. Tutoring is more than helping students achieve academic excellence; if done well, it's about instilling habits for success. As a United States Air Force Academy graduate, I believe in the value of leadership, quality teaching and training. I have a BS in Basic Sciences; my strengths are in math, science and writing. I have strong spatial orientation skills and have written analyses of world military operations

The definition of success varies from person to person, from situation to situation, from school to school, from goal to goal. A success story that I am proud to repeat to all who will listen occurred during the 2003-2004 school year. I had a group of 50 awnery, rambunctious, and extremely diverse eighth graders. These eighth graders were highly motivated. Unfortunately they were not motivated in the area of English, or responsibility, dependability, perseverance, or respect. Though these students had an abundance of creativity, knowledge, and ability, they lacked the focus and direction to use it TOWARD their education rather than AGAINST it. Through a lot of modeling, practice, encouragement, praise, and I'll admit, a lot of begging at times, these students began to become self-advocates for their own education. They began clearly seeing their education as an investment

I discovered a knack for teaching while voluntarily tutoring a classmate of mine at Marquette University in English & Creative Writing, (1976). He was a wonderfully bright student athlete, but had never been taught how to express himself well. He can now, and credits me for it. However,I learned the true JOY of teaching during weekly volunteer sessions at the SafeHome shelter, (1994-2004). There I helped kids of varied ages with homework in every subject, whenever they asked, while serving as a mentor to these at-risk kids. I had to be ready, too, because I never knew what subject I might have to tackle, and the ages of the children who needed help were anywhere from 9 to 16. Thus, I had to adjust my style to the age level as well. It was simply the best experience of my life! The childrens' therapists at SafeHome always marveled at my ability to get even closed-up children to open up, s

My teaching style is very similar regardless of audience: get them involved. I use creative exercises, current events, and varied instruction styles to keep the learning environment dynamic. My experience has taught me that learning is more about facilitating and fostering a positive environment than it is about memorizing facts. I began my teaching career while obtaining my Master's degree at the U of Iowa. I taught the entry Business Administration course as part of my graduate program. This included grading, testing, actvities, and coaching students. Once employed in the corporate world, I continued teaching within my corporate position, as well as in adult education settings with Indiana Wesleyan, Univesity of Indianapolis, and Indiana Tech. I expanded my role from adjunct faculty to part-time consultant by helping them development their Information Technology program. Additio
