My teaching style is based on building an empowering relationship between teacher and student. The aim in my teaching is to make the student into an out-going self-learner and to teach the student positive ways of challenging himself. If I were to label myself, I would call myself a patient, understanding teacher. I look for tools and ways to reach my student, often employing numerous aids for a single subject. With the right combination of creativity and patience, I believe I may create a lesson plan suitable to not only teach the student, but inspire the student to take an active role in the learning process. 2009 Assistant Language Teacher Ageo, Japan • Consulted and taught at four different schools. • Lead class instruction in the areas of grammar, listening comprehension, and cultural internationalization. 2008 6th Grade Tutor • Serve as a tutor for a 6th grade student

I have the ability to “adjust quickly to change” and love to multi-task. From living in Mexico D.F. at the age of sixteen, attending graduate school in London and now living in Hawaii, I have gained experience in multi-cultural environments and thrive in challenging settings. After graduate school in the summer of 2003, I taught art at the Pathfinder Ranch in Idyllwild, CA for ten hours a day for three months with a very limited budget. From 2003-2004, I taught on-line students and acted as an academic enrollment counselor for high school students and their parents at Laurel Springs School, a home school in Ojai, CA. In 2005, I lectured and taught a yearlong AP Art History at Thacher, a well known, highly respected boarding school in Ojai, CA. Finally in 2006 I was an AmeriCorps Literacy tutor working with students at Canalino School in Carpinteria, CA, run through the Santa Barbara Coun

I provide materials and a format that explains fundamental principles, present a variety of fact situations and then entertain questions and comments which drives home the principles to be learned. These are provided in a number sessions to ensure understading of the principles involved. I have been developing teaching programs for various studies since 1979. I have also prepared and made many presentations to professional groups on various topics. I have also provided educational programs for private clients for many years to suit their needs. I have taught business law in a classroom setting. With respect to math, I had enough math credits at Georgia Tech to be certified as a math instructor in the State of Georgia and have instructed project and field engineers and my children on math principles.

My style of teaching is extremely flexible. I realize that different students learn in different ways. I strive to find each students individual style and create a unique program to fit their needs. I am patient and creative and love working with children of all ages. I graduated from the University of Missouri with a degree in outdoor education. I have worked with students in a variety of settings both in the public schools and in the outdoors. I was a site facilitator at a before and after school program, tutoring 60 children grades K-5. I recently published a book called Light Hearts and Heavy Packs outlining my adventures on the Pacific Crest Trail. I have tutored / mentored in a variety of subjects including English, mathematics, science, etc.

I am an enthusiastic teacher with a diverse background who loves teaching and learning. I’m ready to help you excel at your studies, especially in the sciences, English, or math. I earned a bachelor’s degree from Whitman College. Whitman strives to give students a broad-based education with a strong foundation in oral and written communication. With my major in Geology, I have the experience to help a high school student in calculus, biology, chemistry, and physics. In college, I helped a fifth grader with reading and math skills. I was also an academic adviser, helping fellow students with editing, study skills, and course counseling. Currently, I lead educational kayak tours in Kealakekua Bay. I’m ready to help make learning fun! My passion for the outdoors informs my teaching style. I think that experience and discovery are the best ways to learn and try to give learning experie

During my Master's program at UCLA, I was exposed to different ways of teaching and believe that students learn in a variety of ways. I am open to trying different approaches and methods with students in order to utilize the most effective means of ensuring that students are learning and retaining new information. I prefer to establish a positive rapport with my students and to create an environment in which they are comfortable and willing to take risks and make mistakes during the learning process. I have always felt that a good teacher can be crucial to students' success both inside the classroom and in the outside community as well. I recently graduated with my Master's degree in Social Welfare from the University of California at Berkeley, and earned my first graduate degree in 1997 at the University of California at Los Angeles in Education. I taught 2nd grade in a bilingual Sp

My strategy to learning unknown subjects is very close to the same way children learn to walk, by immersion. Everything we learned as children was assimilated through watching, mimicking and attempting. I believe personal experience and learning are very close and in teaching I try to keep that in mind. I find myself a very visually inclined learner and utilize that to help others learn, such as drawing or watching videos. I have found that audio learners do well when given analogies and kinesthetic learners do well with drills or acting out what they have learned all to mimic what their learning so that it might sink in better much like how when we learned to say our first words. My college experience was unique to the learning community. Instead of theorizing and contemplating what lives the subjects we studied were living, we lived amongst those most only read about.

My philosophy is that each student should be presented with the best opportunities for learning. I believe that each child is a unique individual with specific needs and learning styles such as visual, audio, kinetic or through reading and writing. I am known for "thinking outside the box" and draw upon any and all resources that might help a child learn better. I am patient, encouraging, and use methods that empower a child in the learning environment. I have worked with children since 1991. My concentration during my undergraduate studies was neuroendocrinology. However, after attaining my B.A. in Psychology, I loved working with children so much that I decided to work in the mental health field, serving children and adolescents. During the last 3 years, I have been tutoring students in grades K-5 in language arts and math. For the last year and a half, I have tutored students who were

My experience of teaching is not in schools but I have trained many people in the art of rearing shrimp. I am very patient and encourage questions of any kind. I believe that a student needs to feel they can ask any question in order to fully understand. Any student can learn. There are many different personalities and many different ways of learning. When learning is a joy rather than a chore, a student has an even better chance to really understand the subject. My goal is to find the best method for teaching each individual student. Every student deserves an excellent education in order to prepare themselves for a fulfilling life. After a childhood filled with the joys of reading I graduated from college with a BA in English. While I have continued to enjoy reading and writing, my interest turned to biology, specifically aquaculture where my area of expertise is shrimp breeding and far

I work as Engineer in Photonic Solution company. However, I am also tutor as part time job with Secondary and High school students on Mathematics and Physics about 2 years. I believed that my engineering degree has enabled me to gain understanding about Mathematics and Physics. I try to understand the student about problem which make them not understand for each items. I thought Mathematics and Physics are not so hard but just need to get answer of something that cause most of people not understand. I thought the best teacher is not the most cleaver people but must be the one who can solve and understand what normally student don't understand and guide them about that.

I love teaching and enjoy working with children of all age groups and levels of ability. I enjoy searching for different ways to reach children and spur their academic success. It is a wonderful feeling to see a child's eyes light up when they finally understand a challenging concept and yet it is important to remain patient until that time comes. Teaching is the most fulfilling career as it allows me to make a difference in my students' lives that lasts forever. I have been a math tutor for the last two years, working for private tutoring companies based in Kamuela, Hawaii. My degree in Economics, and my previous work in Computer Science has enabled me to have a strong command of math concepts. My business experience also required a strong ability to communicate and have good grammatical skills. Thus I am able to tutor students in English as well as math, science and economics.

After completing my biology and chemistry degree, I volunteered for 18 months in impoverished areas in California. Following this I decided to start teaching. While at Utah State University I completed both a Masters program and a second undergraduate program simultaneously. I am currently licensed to teach high school science. However, I have also spent time teaching science classes to elementary grades (3-6). During and after my college experience I was involved in the peer tutoring process for various levels of learners within the biology program. I have worked instructing and proctoring college biology, chemistry, and anatomy laboratories. My teaching style is highly student focused. Instead of providing only textbook reading and writing my classroom focuses on having the students work hands on to create models of the systems they are learning so they can develop their own understand

My undergraduate education was focussed on physical geography and geology (in which I hold a minor degree). I was involved with cartographic production and began learning the new field of remote sensing. I spent 1993-1994 in the southern African state of Lesotho where I was serving in the US Peace Corps. My interest is in a wide range of subjects, especially the interaction of humans with their environment. My interest in teaching is to assist students in learning that the human and physical world is much larger than what they have experienced, and yet even activities and events located at a distance can affect their lives. My experience is primarily in college lecture classes. I also tutor college students one-to-one using the concepts that they are having difficulty with. I have also assisted ESL students with English grammar in their writing skills. I have taught cour
